Zhu Yuanzhang became a rich and noble emperor from a low-level commoner, and he experienced a difficult process in the middle, he saw a wide range of the world, and he had his own set of criteria for judging everything.
But what is strange to everyone is that when he visited the people, the old man only said one word, and he was appointed as a high official, and their family did not have to worry about eating and drinking for generations. What's going on here?
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had just been established, the soldiers had gone through many wars, one by one was tired, the people were running from east to west and settling down, the country was in a state of disarray, if the national strength was not strengthened at this time, it was likely to be replaced by another dynasty.
The number of soldiers was enough, but the number of war horses was far from enough, so in that period, the treasures of cloth were not what he wanted, and he hoped that the courtiers would pay tribute to him some good horses, and the more the better. This custom and custom lasted for a long time, and he wanted enough good horses.
In addition to this reason, there was another reason why he desperately needed horses. He was a filial man, and as soon as he ascended to the throne, he arranged for many people to guard the mausoleums of the emperors and other patriarchs, and they were all strong soldiers, and each of them was equipped with good horses.
In modern times, there are tomb robbers, of course, in ancient times, and many emperors in the royal cemetery are buried with a large number of precious jewels, so the royal cemetery is very tempting to the tomb robbers.
Zhu Yuanzhang had always been uneasy, so he was equipped with so many troops here, he thought that this would be able to protect the ancestors.
The cemetery was guarded, but the soldiers were tired enough to stand guard every day, not to mention feeding the horses at night, so he decided to design a special official position for feeding the horses and give them a high salary.
One day he went to the people to investigate the people's feelings, and during the journey, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and after a while, it began to rain heavily. He looked up and saw that there was exactly one family in the village in front of him, which was like a beam of light in the endless darkness.
The old farmer looked at the door, and a man was running fast in the rain and went straight to their door, and the old farmer quickly invited him into the house and waited for him.
After a moment of greeting, he carefully looked at the person in front of him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a rich and noble person's appearance, he smiled and asked what the old man's name was, the old man replied that his name was Dong Mao, and he was happy after listening to it.
He rejoiced not because of the old man's eager service, but because of the old man's name, Dong Zi was headed by the indispensable grain and grass of the country, with the sharp weapon of the war, the Maxima, as the side, and also brought a Mao character that could make the land luxuriant and the country flourish, zhu Yuanzhang immediately fell in love with him.
At that time, he named the old farmer a horse breeding official in the cemetery, don't look at his official name is very ordinary, but Feng Lu is very high, and the most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang personally promised that as long as the Ming Dynasty has always existed, the old farmer's family is a high official who takes Gao Fenglu, and the old farmer did not expect that his name actually helped him open the road to his career. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that with the protection of the old farmers, his cemetery and his dynasty would continue smoothly.
This story seems very funny, but it contains a lot of truth. Chinese from ancient times to the present pay attention to the selection of names, the ancients pay special attention to the name, if you commit the emperor's secret, then the life is hopeless to be an official, in the poor era to take some lowly names, hoping to bless them to live, the era of wealth and nobility to take some ambitious names, hope that people as their name, grow up to become high-ranking officials and nobles.
