What is this?

Lingxiao Palace in the sky!

If you are lucky enough to enter the palace, is it considered that you have succeeded in cultivating Taoism and have entered the palace?

But no matter how good the Heavenly Palace is, can it compare to the human world?

It’s really hard to say, after all, in heaven, you can live forever and be free from illness and disaster.

This is not the case in the Forbidden City.

But even if he enters the Heavenly Palace, can he sit on an equal footing with the Jade Emperor and discuss the rules of heaven?

Obviously impossible!

No Taoist scriptures say this, let alone Buddhist scriptures.

Only I, the Great Emperor, have such a big heart...

From this point of view, this move is better than countless in heaven!

Everyone was led to the front of Fengtian Hall. When everyone came over, they found that there were several rows of small tables, and there was a small stove on each table.

This is the meticulousness of Xu Jingchang.

Because there are a lot of people coming, some of them are elderly, it would be bad if they hurt their spleen and stomach after eating something cold and contracted a disease after returning home.

You have to know that a certain seal madman holds a banquet for thousands of old people. After the banquet, many people hold funerals. The seamless connection is called silky smooth.

Xu Jingchang thought about it and decided to eat hot pot. Each person has a stove. It is hot and will not hurt the spleen and stomach.

Each person has a pot of meat and vegetables, and whatever they want to eat, the palace guards and maids carry the trays over, and everyone can help themselves.

Even Zhu Di agreed to this arrangement.

Inviting everyone to sit down, Zhu Di raised his wine glass and walked among the people with a smile.

"I have been emperor for almost five years, and I can't say how well I have done. I invited you here today just to ask if I, the emperor, and the ministers under me are doing well.

Are you letting everyone down? Just speak freely and don't be afraid."

When Zhu Di opened his mouth, he called himself I, not me... In fact, His Majesty, the Emperor, knew better than anyone else how to close the distance with the people. Without this ability, how could he lead a group of soldiers to defeat the strong with the weak and achieve peace?

Hard to succeed?

This has almost become Zhu Di's instinct.

When these people heard it, they suddenly felt friendly, and most of their sense of alienation disappeared.

Zhu Di, Xu Jingchang, Prince Zhu Gaochi, and other important ministers all held wine glasses and walked among the crowd, constantly asking everyone for their opinions.

If anyone has useful suggestions, Zhu Di will stop for a while and listen carefully. If he has any ideas, he will answer them immediately. If not, he will ask the Hanlin bachelor behind him to write them down.

This kind of on-the-spot political inquiry is really effective.

Not far away, a man bravely said: "Your Majesty, the price of food this year is 20% higher than last year. What will happen if the price increases again in the future?"

Zhu Di was startled and glanced at Xu Jingchang.

At this time, Xu Jingchang was calm and said, "Food prices have indeed increased, but this is because the imperial court intentionally raised food prices."

The people who asked the question were startled. Is this intentional?

Xu Jingchang continued to explain: "It's like this, cheap grain hurts farmers, expensive grain hurts people... This has been true since ancient times. Now the court has calculated that food prices are too low, resulting in weak consumption capacity among the people. To put it bluntly, the people cannot afford the city.

goods, pots and pans, bricks and tiles furniture. If the people cannot afford these things, our workshops will not be able to expand production, and the workers in the workshops will have no source of income. Such a big country cannot rely solely on selling

Give it to the barbarians to maintain the development of the workshop."

Xu Jingchang said: "In the future, the imperial court will invite all parties to evaluate the grain purchase price together, and then set a price. The range of adjustments will not exceed everyone's affordability."

The people nodded immediately, but Zhu Di said again: "Ding Guo Gong, just like this, there are probably some people who can't afford food, right?"

Xu Jingchang said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Therefore, the General Affairs Department is also planning to build a number of overseas granaries... The first batch of them include Annan and Champa, and others such as Luzon and Java are also among them. To ensure food security, let

Ensuring that everyone is well fed and will not starve is an important responsibility of the imperial court, and we must not be careless about it."

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but exclaimed in unison, "Long live my emperor! Your majesty is wise!"
