Zhu Di was so frightened that his face turned blue.
Grain is the foundation of Ming Dynasty, one mistake will destroy the country.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry out of the palace."
As soon as Zhu Di took off the crown, lifted up the dragon robe and ran out of the hall, it was the first time for an emperor to be so embarrassed.
But after they left the palace, Ying Tianfu's notice had already been sent out.
The prince even transferred more than half of the guards in Nanjing, and all of them went to the fields to collect sweet potatoes.
Seeing the prince's deeds, the common people were all heartbroken and knelt down to pray.
"His Royal Highness, absolutely not, it's not yet the harvest season."
"What kind of locust plague? It's just a few locusts. Your Highness must not listen to the villain's slander."
……
The people cried for the prince to stop, and the prince felt like an executioner, cutting the flesh and blood of these people.
At this moment, the kings of Han and Zhao arrived with their men on horseback.
"Stop it, stop it all, don't accept any more."
The King of Han yelled loudly for everyone to stop.
"Boss, are you crazy?"
"It's none of His Highness's business, it's all my idea." Lu Lin stood up to save the prince.
The King of Han glanced at Lu Lin, with murderous intent in his eyes: "What are you, there is a place for you to speak here, get out of here."
Just when he was about to push Lu Lin away, the prince suddenly stood up: "What Mr. Lu said is what I mean, second brother, don't meddle in this matter."
"Absurd, Boss, do you know that this way Daming loses half of his income, I object."
"I also object." The youngest Zhao Wang also stood up: "Boss, what kind of enmity do you have with our Zhu family? Do you want to bring it down?"
"That's right, Your Highness the Crown Prince, this matter is really inappropriate." Ying Tianfu Yin also interjected weakly.
The prince ignored them.
"Anyway, today, all the fields belonging to the common people of Ming Dynasty will be harvested."
"Second and third, this plague of locusts will break out at any time, I hope you will also act decisively and take over your farm."
"I'm going to the fields now, and all the tenant farmers and common people are not allowed to harvest them." The King of Han shouted domineeringly and angrily.
"Your Highness, I'm going to call back all the soldiers from Shimoda."
"Since he is in his position to seek his own government, since the lower officials have taken the imperial court's salary, they naturally have to share the worries of the imperial court and the people. They will never do things that are sorry for the imperial court and the people."
Yin Tianfu Yin obviously prefers not to collect food.
He felt that His Royal Highness must have lost his mind.
For the sake of a few locusts, they actually have to take back all the immature food. After such a harvest, more than half of the people will be hungry.
"Have you forgotten the great locust plague in the seventh year of Hongwu? Dozens of states and counties and half of the north have been hit by seedlings. The people of Ming Dynasty have experienced three years of famine." The prince gasped and said sharply.
"Boss, you are worrying unfoundedly. There is a severe drought and no rain, and the weather is hot. It happens every year. Why don't you see locust plagues every year?"
"No matter what you say today, I will not allow you to collect grain, unless you kill me, the King of Han."
The king of Han is full of momentum and is bound to win.
But this time the prince actually changed the attitude of Maitreya Buddha in the past, with a serious expression, revealing a majesty that was not there in the past.
"Did you forget that I am the crown prince, and now Da Ming is in charge of the country, and I accept it as I say, and anyone who dares to stop him will be dealt with according to the laws of Da Ming."
Stern and anxious, not angry and prestige.
I have never been so domineering in my life.
Everyone was shocked by his sudden majesty, and forgot to refute for a moment.
"Okay, you are the prince, you supervise the country, right? Are you responsible for all the consequences?" The second child asked him.
"Yes, I am responsible for all the consequences." The prince took the responsibility without thinking.
"If the plague of locusts doesn't come, you will cause the people of Ming Dynasty to lose half of their income. Isn't it wrong for you, the prince?"
Hearing this, the prince took off his crown and hat and put it in the hands of the King of Han.
Then he turned to look at the people and announced loudly.
"I, Zhu Gaochi, swear here today that if the plague of locusts does not come, I will remove myself from the crown prince."
The prince's behavior shocked everyone and was at a loss.
Seeing the prince's behavior, Lu Lin was overwhelmed with admiration, and also stood up.
"I, Lu Lin, swear here today that if the plague of locusts does not come, I will sacrifice my head to everyone for atonement."
This……
Lu Xianzi risked his life? !
The crowd started to commotion.
Chapter 60 Using Military Food to Help Lu Lin
It was enough to shock the people with the guarantee of the crown prince.
Now that Mr. Lu actually took his life to guarantee it, the people were in an uproar.
The people were noisy, for a long time, suddenly an old man came out tremblingly, leaning on a cane.
"This celestial food is a gift from the county magistrate Lu, who has saved me and is in the midst of fire and water. If there is no magistrate, how can we get the food? Since the magistrate said to accept it, let's take it there."
The old man was the most respected old man in the village. He was guaranteed by the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the son of Lu County, who had increased the immortal food, was guaranteed by his life. Now there is another old man. After a short silence, everyone immediately made a decision.
"Everything I wait for is given by the court and Mr. Lu, but it is arranged by the crown prince and Mr. Lu."
"Collect food."
One raised his arms and shouted, and the others responded one after another.
