Chapter 188: Immeasurable Merit and Strictness (Subscription Request)
The emperor actually left the palace without permission.

Came to Changping quietly.

When the officials sitting in the sightseeing carriage at the foot of the mountain saw the emperor clearly on the hillside.

Everyone's heart was shocked.

silent.

The gazes of all civil and military officials and famous scholars shifted from the emperor on the hillside to Yan Shaoting, who was also sitting in the carriage.

The emperor would disregard the rules and quietly slip out of the palace, even without saying a word to the outside court, and sneak out of Beijing.

It can only be because of Yan Shaoting.

The emperor is supporting Yan Shaoting!

At this moment.

In people's hearts, Yan Shaoting's status in the emperor's heart was once again infinitely elevated.

Xu Jie looked at the hillside and saw that it was clearly the emperor himself, but he had to pretend that he did not see it, and his heart was extremely gloomy.

Has the emperor left the palace?

No!

Has the emperor left the city?

That's even more impossible!
I'm here and I don't see anything.

Xu Jie was in an extremely gloomy mood, yet he was speechless.

Once you stop the carriage, go forward to meet the fight.

That was undoubtedly telling everyone that the emperor had broken the rules, gone out without permission, and disregarded the safety of the monarch.

but.

If the emperor could leave the palace or even the city at will this time.

So what about next time?

Is there anyone who can control the emperor?
Xu Jie was in a state of confusion.

Jiajing stood on the hillside, quietly watching the carriage convoy below the mountain.

He said nothing.

But his eyes were dim and it was impossible to guess what this king who ruled the Ming Dynasty was thinking.

Lu Fang, who was beside him, observed his expression for a while before waving towards the foot of the mountain.

then.

The carriage team that had stopped earlier at the foot of the mountain started moving again.

Because suddenly I saw the emperor leaving the city, just on that hillside.

Even in the Changping factory area.

Everyone was silent.

Yan Shaoting, who had already known from Guo Yuchuang that the old Taoist priest would come today, remained calm.

He walked in front and led everyone into the Changping Textile Factory.

"Everyone, this is the Changping Textile Factory. There are more than 1,200 female workers working here. They are currently making cotton military uniforms for the court and sending them to the nine borders to help soldiers keep warm and fight the enemy."

Everyone followed Yan Shaoting and walked into the huge textile factory.

Countless looms, working closely together.

A female worker from Changping is busy at her loom.

The woven cotton cloth will be immediately sent to another workshop for marking and cutting to make cotton military uniforms.

Sister Lu Wenyan, who had been missing all day, also appeared in front of Yan Shaoting at this time.

Sister Lu led two female workers who were in charge of the textile factory and bowed to everyone.

Yan Shifan frowned.

My daughter-in-law doesn't think about her pregnancy all day and is busy running around in Changping.

very bad!
I must find an opportunity to teach that rebellious son a lesson!

It was also at this time.

There were clang clang clang sounds coming from the factory.

More than a thousand female workers stopped their work in unison.

Under the gaze of everyone, he walked towards another factory building which was filled with tables.

Someone asked, “What is this for?”

Lu Wenyan glanced at Yan Shaoting and her pretty nose twitched.

Then she said without fear, "It's time for lunch. The sisters-in-law work in the textile factory every day and have a lunch. We don't cook well, so we can only guarantee that there is one dish with meat every day."

One dish with meat every day?

Meat every day!

Hearing Lu Wenyan's somewhat shameful words, everyone was shocked.

Nie Bao even asked in a lost voice: "We have meat to eat every day? Where does the meat come from? Do we have to pay for this meal?"

Lu Wenyan explained, "Of course we have meat every day, otherwise how would we have the energy to work? This meat is all chickens, ducks, geese and other meat produced by our Changping farm. We don't charge for it. There is meat in one dish every day, and the woman doesn't dare to charge for it. She just thinks it can fill the stomachs of the sisters-in-law, so she doesn't bother with me."

After listening to Lu Wenyan's explanation, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

There is meat to eat every day, and it seems like it is more than just a dish.

really.

Amidst everyone's shock.

Then I saw a group of women carrying large buckets that smelled fragrant coming from a distance.

Each bucket contains different food.

Everything was just as Lu Wenyan said.

Yan Shaoting silently glanced at the silent and talkative sister Lu.

Well done!

Xu Wei then explained, "You may not know that all the people working in our factories in Changping have lunch. It's embarrassing to say that life in Changping is still hard and difficult. The factory's original goal was to provide everyone with three meals a day."

I saw Xu Wei was also speaking these mundane words.

The civil and military officials, as well as the famous scholars, who had seen the female workers start to eat with smiles on their faces, were completely numb.

There is meat to eat every day.

Several dishes every day.

They also set a goal of eating three meals a day.

Is this still the Ming Dynasty?

Lu Wenyan smiled slightly, as if she had just reacted.

She first let out an "ah".

Then he looked even more ashamed.

"Seniors, superiors, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

"If you don't mind, we have enough food in the textile factory."

Talking.

Lu Wenyan ran to make arrangements.

The crowd, who were already starving, saw buckets of food being delivered to them soon.

Who cares about official status or respectability?

One by one, they picked up the food served by the female workers from the textile factory and looked around.

But there were no extra tables, chairs or benches.

There was no need for anyone to arrange anything at this time. These people just held their bowls and started eating while either standing or squatting.

Nie Bao, Wang Ji and Qian Dehong also received a big bowl full of food.

Looking at the high pile of food in the bowl.

Nie Bao's eyes actually turned red.

Wang Ji remained silent, looking like he was troubled.

Mr. Qian Dehong sighed for a long time. Xu Jie and his son Xu Kun got a bowl of food.

Just one bite.

However, Xu Jie had no appetite.

Nie Bao held the bowl and chopsticks and whispered, "There is rice, vegetables, and meat. Where else in the country is this like this?"

He has been an official in the court for many years.

He had served as an official in Beijing, but he mostly served as a local official.

Count the past.

There has never been a place where the people can have a full stomach every day, let alone have meat to eat every day.

He didn't move his bowl and chopsticks, but looked up at Yan Shaoting.

Open your mouth.

Yet I am speechless.

Qian Dehong asked, "How about the wages of the people? No, no, no... Even if there is no wages, as long as they can have such meals every day, it is already unique in the country! This is a great merit!"

I saw the two old gentlemen speak one after another.

The officials who were still eating had to stop.

Without waiting for Yan Shaoting or Xu Wei to explain.

Gao Gong, who had already swallowed the entire bowl of food like a leaf blown away by the wind, wiped his mouth and stood up.

"Mr. Shuangjiang, Mr. Xushan, and Mr. Longxi."

"I, the junior, know about this matter."

Nie Bao and the other two looked over immediately.

Gao Gong smiled and said, "This matter has been explained by Yan Shidu when he was discussing it with the emperor in the capital. The Yan family does not take any profit from all the factories in Changping. The factories belong to all the people of Changping. The people who work here get a salary, and the surplus is divided equally among all the people of Changping at the end of each year."

After saying that.

Gao Gong added another sentence.

"Redundant, no matter the age, everyone is the same!"

Subsequently.

He sighed again.

"It's just that I didn't understand it too well at that time. Now it seems that everything is true..."

It’s true.

It really couldn't be more true.

The food in this bowl is large and filling, and the meat is plump and translucent.

The officials present, holding bowls and chopsticks in their hands, were all silent.

Xu Jie, who had only taken a bite of the food, wanted to smash the bowl of rice in his hand to the ground.

But he is clear.

If I do this.

I'm afraid there's no need to wait until tomorrow. Tonight, when all the officials return to the city, they will write memorials to impeach me.

I felt extremely gloomy in my heart.

But Xu Jie could only wave his chopsticks numbly and shovel the food into his mouthful.

It's like chewing wax!

And on the hillside sweet potato field that everyone had passed by before.

Jiajing was already sitting on a stone on the ground.

He also had a pair of bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

In the bowl is the textile factory's lunch today.

Around him, Lu Fang, Lu Yi and others also did their part.

Jiajing seemed very happy.

Just like this, we sat in broad daylight, on a desolate mountain in the wilderness.

His taste buds were stimulated and he finished the whole bowl of food in no time.

This is the end.

He actually looked like he was still a little unsatisfied.

Lu Fang, who was standing by, was smiling.

"Master, it's been a long time since you've had so much food in one go!"

Jiajing wiped his mouth, without caring about his dignity as a king, and rubbed his Taoist robe with his hands.

"I enjoy the food!"

"If I could eat more, I would really like to have another bowl!"

After saying that.

Jiajing looked at the Changping factory area where work had stopped and it was all lunch time.

Then he turned around and looked at Lu Fang and Lu Yi.

"You guys should eat too."

"Today we are all idle people, regardless of status."

"Eat quickly. If it gets cold or there's any left, I'll punish you!"

Hear this.

Lu Fang and Lu Yi then hurriedly took action.

around.

There was also the sound of someone shoveling food.

And in the textile factory.

Nie Bao and the others, with deep feelings, finally finished eating the food in their hands.

Sister Lu was very thoughtful and prepared a bowl of tea for everyone.

The belly is full.

Taking a sip of the not-so-expensive broken tea.

However, in front of everyone, Nie Bao bowed to Yan Shaoting, clasped his hands and nodded.

Wang Ji and Qian Dehong, who were beside him, did the same thing.

Such actions.

But it shocked everyone present and made them feel terrified.

Zhu Zaigui, who had been quietly hiding in a corner with his wife and children, observing and eating the meal at the Changping Textile Factory, was even more excited.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Yan Shaoting was not allowed to dissuade him.

Nie Bao has already said: "Learning does not distinguish between the old and the young, the noble and the humble, or the great and the small."

"Today, I look at the customs and people of Changping."

"The word 'moistening things' is even more appropriate, just like the gentle and silent one."

"I now know that although Yan Shidu is young, he has done great deeds!"

"I..."

"I would like to be taught!"

After Nie Bao spoke.

Wang Ji and Qian Dehong also spoke up.

"Old man, I will accept your instruction!"
