Ming Dynasty: Disaster Relief Turned into Wealth, Zhu Yuanzhang Broke the Defense

In the fifth year of Hongwu's reign during the Ming Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi and other places. Disasters spread all over the land and the people were in dire straits. General Xu Da was using troops against Beiyuan. The battle was tense in the front and disasters were widespread in the rear, making Zhu Yuanzhang extremely anxious. King Wu Zhu Ju asked for orders: "Father, give me ten thousand shi of food, and I will surely quell the disaster." All the officials in the court were ridiculed. "Several provinces are hit by drought and locust plagues. The victims are hundreds of thousands. Ten thousand stones of grain and grass are not enough to feed them for a day." "Disaster relief, it seems that the more we rescue, the worse the disaster becomes!" A few days later, ten thousand stones of grain turned into hens, large white pigs, small-tailed Han sheep... The victims still drank porridge from sheds, ate corn, and all they ate was meat. Emperor Hongwu visited the disaster area in person. This is not disaster relief, this is creating wealth. Modern cities, restaurants, KTV, entertainment venues, factories, schools. "Women in the disaster area are missing half of their sleeves on their arms and half of their trousers on their legs. Why are they still so poor?" "Your Majesty, this is not poverty, this is fashion!"
