第五十五集：朱元璋巡視揚州城，沒想到這裏慘不忍睹，百姓們餓得連飯都吃不上

Your Majesty, I did eat meat, but it wasn't pork or beef, it was human flesh, Your Majesty. Zhu Yuanzhang came to Yangzhou for the first time for inspection. As a result, his feet just fell to the ground, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him. The once prosperous city of Yangzhou has long ceased to exist. It's full of dead bodies and ruins everywhere. There is no perfect house. Yangzhou's host Lu Mingyi hurried to come to pick him up. He told Zhu Yuanzhang There are only 18 households left here, and 21 live trees. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it after hearing it. He asked Lu Mingyi why Yangzhou had become like this. Lu Mingyi said Because of the years of war, the land was desolate, and the people were homeless. Now Yangzhou has become a failed factory. At this time, an old man was so hungry that he fell down directly. Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked people to bring food to distribute to everyone. When he saw everyone starving, he asked the old man how long it had been since he had eaten mold. I haven't eaten food for about three or four years. I haven't eaten meat for more than ten years. Grandpa, I've eaten meat. I ate it once this spring. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be angry. He dared to deceive the army. The old man quickly said that he had eaten meat. But it wasn't pork or beef. It's human flesh. What? You dare to eat human flesh? You are Qin Sheng. The old man explained that Because at the beginning of the year, the grandson of the family was starved to death. So he exchanged it with the dead child of someone else's family. He couldn't bear to see his grandson starved to death. In order to survive, he had to choose one son. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but cry after hearing it. This also made him think of his miserable childhood. He swore secretly. We must let the people eat well and live a good life. The city of Yijiang is full of suffering. Our Ming Dynasty is built on a piece of ruins. If we can't feed the people as soon as possible, we will return to the army. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang found Liu Bowen. Let him recommend a person to come out and govern Yangzhou. We must restore the people's strength as soon as possible. Let Yangzhou re-establish the prosperity of the past.
