At the same time, Daming World.

Five large ships sailed upstream from the port of Jinmen along the Hun River (Yongding River), and finally stopped at the mouth of the Hun River in the capital.

The scale of the boat is not large, nearly one-third smaller than the largest Daming treasure boat in Daming, but the water pressure is extremely deep, and the boat is full of fishy smell.

When the five large ships docked, the cabins were quickly opened, and boxes of large and small fish and shrimp were transported out of the cabins, and then the imperial court sent someone to transport them away.

Half an hour later, in the imperial study.

Wang Chengen walked in with a bowl of fish soup.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat.

Chongzhen put the book on the imperial case, but his eyes were not separated for a moment, and he subconsciously picked up the bowl and scooped a spoon.

After eating a few spoonfuls of fish soup, Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and looked at the bowl in his hand doubtfully: "This fish soup...?"

Wang Chenen immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this fish soup is made from sea fish. Just half an hour ago, General Li Dingguo personally took five fishing boats upstream from Jinmen and arrived in the capital. 35

"Hongyuan is back?" Chongzhen stood up and said in surprise: "Then what are you waiting for, don't tell me soon!"

"Yes!"

Wang Chenen slowly retreated with a smile on his face, and in less than two minutes, a strong man walked in.

Li Dingguo, covered in a fox fur, knelt in front of Chongzhen and said in a deep voice, "Last General Li Dingguo, see Your Majesty!"

"Get up, get up!" Chongzhen stepped forward to help Li Dingguo up, patted his shoulder and smiled: "Hongyuan, tell me how the ship is made now?"

Li Dingguo sat in front of Chongzhen and said with a smile: "Thanks to His Majesty's guidance, after I went to Jinmen, I immediately convened migrant workers in major shipyards and the people, but found several masters in shipbuilding. Thirty dragon tooth ships came out, and the Daming treasure ship was already under construction.

"Just ten days ago, the minister led five large ships, with some good fishing hands, braved the severe cold to go fishing at sea in person, and harvested more than 40 million catties of fish, which have now been transported to the capital. 35

"More than 40 million catties, good!" Chongzhen patted the table excitedly, his eyes full of excitement.

One trip to the sea can catch more than 40 million fish, one can imagine how many resources are in the sea

Immortal Master honestly does not deceive me, the sea is indeed the treasure house of Ming Dynasty!

Chongzhen hurriedly asked: "What about the fish, if it's freezing in the cold today, it would be great to have a bowl of fish soup to warm you up, and distribute those fish to the people!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Li Dingguo smiled: "As soon as the big ship arrived at the capital, the port officials sent people to transport the fish, but how should these marine fish be priced?

"Free, all for free!" Chongzhen put his hand on the chopping board, and said in a deep voice: "I will give all the sea fish to the common people for free, there are so many fish in the sea, and the lives of the common people are very precious, and I can collect money in the future. , but this winter, we must ensure that every commoner has a bowl of hot fish soup to drink39

"...Yes!" Li Dingguo was stunned, and a smile suddenly flashed in his eyes.

His choice was indeed right. Looking at the world, who could give up this opportunity to make a lot of money like Chongzhen.

Wholeheartedly for the people, don't care about gains and losses, this is the real good emperor!

Li Dingguo bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, then Wei Chen will go down and make arrangements first."

"En." Chongzhen nodded, and when Li Dingguo just walked out of the door of the imperial study, he suddenly stopped him.

.

"and many more!

Li Dingguo looked back suspiciously: "Your Majesty, what else do you have?

Chongzhen smiled and said: "The royal garment factory and coal factory have already produced a lot of sweaters and coal. After the fish is sold out, you should go back to Tianjin as soon as possible, and bring the sweaters and coal with you. You don't need to do shipbuilding. Stop, it's winter, don't let the craftsmen get cold,""

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Dingguo's face turned straight, and he bowed his hands to Chongzhen respectfully, and then he left slowly.

Standing at the door of the imperial study, Li Dingguo exhaled a long breath of white air, the sky and the earth were all white, and the cold wind penetrated into the body along the gap of the clothes, but his heart was warm.

Sure enough, under the leadership of His Majesty, the Ming Dynasty can re-emerge and truly enjoy long-term stability.

After half a day.

In the capital, a low shack area.

The cold and damp house was ventilated everywhere, and a little girl with yellow face and thin skin and withered hair was lying on the bed, covered with a thin layer of quilt, and her body was constantly shaking.

"Mother, I'm cold... I'm so cold." The girl called softly.

A woman in her thirties was wearing clothes full of patches, holding a pottery bowl with a corner missing in her hand and leaning next to the little girl, she whispered, "Nah, drink some hot water, it won't be cold if you drink some hot water. .

The little girl closed her eyes and leaned closer to the bowl, struggling to take a sip of water, but her body was still shaking.

The woman stretched out her hand and stroked the little girl's forehead, and suddenly it bounced off as if stimulated by something.

hot!

"Mother, I'm so cold, are you going to die?"

Nan Nan's eyes barely opened a gap to look at her mother, with a hint of blush on her face.

The woman's eyes turned red instantly, and tears filled her eyes. She put down the broken bowl, grabbed the corner of the quilt, and moved closer to the little girl.

Touching the cold and thin quilt, the woman's hand shook even more.

It was freezing cold, and the thin quilt could not resist the cold wind at all.

Now the trees around the capital are almost cut down, and the coals are ridiculously high. Just now, the last piece of firewood has been burnt out. If there is no more fire to keep warm, then...

At this point, the woman suddenly gritted her teeth, took off her thin clothes and put it on Nannan's body, and whispered in her ear: "Nannan, wait, my mother will go out and borrow some firewood right away. It's not cold anymore, it's not cold anymore!"

After all, the woman wrapped her unlined clothes, which were not much thick, and her body trembled, she turned around and prepared to walk out of the house.

But as soon as she turned around, two lines of muddy tears slid down her face.

In this weather, firewood is the most precious treasure, no one wants to burn it little by little, who can lend it to her.

But thinking of her daughter still lying on the hospital bed, she gritted her teeth again.

In any case today, even if you are begging, ask for some firewood to come back, otherwise the daughter will really freeze to death.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as I walked to the door, a knock on the door suddenly rang from outside.

The woman was taken aback, and quickly wiped away the tears from her face and went to open the door.

Opening the door, two soldiers with knives were standing at the door, one of them was carrying a basket, which contained a large fish the size of an adult arm.

"Master, what are you?" The woman leaned closer to the door, leaving only half of her body outside, as if the small wooden door could withstand the cold wind for her.

The leading soldier smiled and handed the basket forward: 66་ "Eldest sister, we are the guards of the palace.

"The weather is very cold now, this is the sea fish that His Majesty specially gifted to the people, you can take it and make soup to warm up your body.

"This..." The woman was stunned when she heard it, and subconsciously reached out to take the basket, and said in disbelief, "Master, you...are you telling the truth?"

"Of course!" The soldier smiled and bowed his hands in the direction of the palace: "This is His Majesty's order, we don't dare to lie, don't worry, you are not the first one, there are already many people in front of you.

When the woman heard that her eyes were red, she hugged the basket and knelt down in front of the two soldiers, grabbing the ground, tears falling from her cheeks like dropped pearls: "Thank you sir, thank you Your Majesty! 35

"Thank you sir, thank you Your Majesty.

"Big sister, get up, get up!" The soldier hurriedly helped the woman up, and his expression changed when he touched her thin clothes.

Where is this clothes, this is clearly a thin piece of grass paper!

The soldier hurriedly took off his woolen sweater and put it on his body. The woman wanted to struggle. The soldier pressed her shoulder and said, "Eldest sister, you must not go out in such a cold day. Just tell us anything. Now, we'll help you do it." 5

Feeling the temperature brought by the sweater on her body, the woman's eyes turned red, she nodded gratefully to the soldier, and immediately turned her head back to the room and put the sweater on (Wang Nuo's) little girl: " Nan Nan, mother is back, it's not cold anymore, it's not cold anymore.""

The soldier stood at the door and watched, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, his eyes circled around the room, and a dim color appeared in his eyes when he looked at the extinguished wood ash.

"Take off your clothes and go to the warehouse to get some briquettes back.

"Yes!"

The soldier behind him immediately took off his woolen sweater, then pulled his legs and ran towards the direction of the Royal Coal Mill.

The leader of the soldier took the woolen sweater, went into the room and draped it over the women.

"Master, enough is enough, we dare not ask for it any more!"

The woman waved her hands again and again to reject the madness.

The soldier leader waved his hand: "Take it, this is all rewarded by Your Majesty."

"Tomorrow, I will buy sweaters and coal at a low price in the royal clothing store and the royal coal sales store as a commoner of the Ming Dynasty. I just did it for you in advance.

The soldier leader smiled: "Everyone, don't think that we wore this dress!

"No, no, thank you sir." The woman waved her hands again and again, and she was about to kneel to the soldier with red eyes.

The soldier leader quickly helped the woman up and grinned: "Eldest sister, if you want to thank your majesty, thank your majesty, majesty is the real good man!"
