Although Prime Minister Su and several ministers felt that they roughly understood the meaning of "relief for work", they still needed His Majesty to explain to them how to implement it in order to better understand it.
Looking at the very excited ministers, Lu Qing thought for a while and said, "Relief for work means that the court invests in the construction of infrastructure projects, such as rebuilding houses after disasters or building roads and bridges, etc., and the recipients Participating in the construction of engineering facilities and receiving labor remuneration is a support policy that directly replaces direct relief." After speaking, Lu Qing saw smiles on the faces of several ministers.
Su Xianglao had a smile on his face. Seeing admiration flashing in Lu Qing's eyes, he said with rare excitement, "Your Majesty, you are such a talented person! This method is really the best choice. You don't have to worry about the problem of too many victims gathering. You won’t starve to death, and the most important thing is that once the winter is over, the collapsed houses and bridges will be repaired, so you can achieve multiple things with one stone!”
The other ministers were so excited that their faces turned red.
According to His Majesty's method, the disaster relief problem was almost solved, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, they have all been thinking about this matter with a sad face. It is not that they have not come up with a solution, but it is not only slightly inferior to the work-for-relief method mentioned by His Majesty?
Since ancient times, if the problems of disaster victims are not handled well, it is easy to cause riots.
Thanks to His Majesty's great talent, we can better solve this matter.
Several ministers present now looked at the little emperor... Oh no, His Majesty's eyes were full of wonder and admiration. They regretted in their hearts that they had not discovered His Majesty's hidden clumsiness before.
If this problem had been discovered earlier, wouldn't they be able to come to him for advice on some of the problems they were struggling with before?
Careless!
Yes, they now unanimously believe that His Majesty has been hiding his clumsiness before, but now he is able to make suggestions, probably because he sympathizes with the suffering of the people and is afraid of causing great turmoil.
Once the solution is finalized, the candidate will naturally have to be selected.
After all, Prime Minister Su does not have three heads and six arms. There are many things that require ministers to personally inspect and supervise on site to prevent some corrupt officials from causing trouble.
Finally, after everyone decided, Su Xiang was responsible for fundraising.
The on-site survey and supervision work was handed over to Master Zhang Zhijie, Minister of Industry, and Di Qingfeng, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the right minister of the Ministry of War were assigned to assist the movers.
Because of the continuous questioning by Prime Minister Su and several ministers, Lu Qing passively participated in the personnel decision-making throughout the process.
Because she wanted to go back to the palace, although three or four braziers were burned in Xuanhe Hall, it was still cold!
In order not to be suffocated to death, Lu Qing ordered the palace maid to open a few windows.
If you want to participate, do it and make a quick decision so that she can go back quickly.
Lu Qing couldn't help but ask again, "Is there anything else?"
That's what he said, but his eyes seemed to say, I hope nothing happens to you again!
[This is my private time. It will be dark if I don’t go back! 】
Hearing this, the ministers' mouths twitched.
In order not to be annoying, the ministers who originally wanted to ask some more questions stood up and left.
Lu Qing felt excited now.
The conversation is finally over, and now I just want to go back and cover myself under the covers so that I don’t get out.
Today, I was interrupted by them and my exercise was impossible.
Lu Qing smiled and said the final words, "It's cold and the roads are slippery, please be careful when you go back."
"Wei Chen resigns."
Several ministers were more respectful than ever before.
…
After bidding farewell to the emperor, several ministers went out of the palace together.
They discussed each other non-stop on the road, mostly talking about Lu Qing.
"Your Majesty's pearl has been dusty for many years. It's our fault!"
"I didn't expect that His Majesty has such a great talent. We have ignored him in the past!"
"Although His Majesty is lazy and lazy on weekdays, you remember that when the late Emperor was still alive, Your Majesty was excellent in almost all subjects. After the late Emperor passed away, he became the submissive person he was after being taken by the Empress Dowager Chen. That woman is disgusting!"
"Listening to what you said, I really remembered it! When the late emperor was still alive, although he did not value your majesty, the studies of every prince and princess were the top priority of the entire palace and the court. Your majesty was also in the study at that time It is said that people who study have never been punished by their teachers. This is not easy!"
"However, now that we have His Majesty, it shows that we are not alone. Your Majesty dares to love and hate, and he will show no mercy when he needs to be cruel. Moreover, after so many years of disguise, he has even deceived us ministers. Why? A ruler must have someone like your majesty. Let us assist your majesty in the future. Dayu must do well!"
The last sentence was said by Su Xiang.
I have been chasing fame and fortune for most of my life, but now I have figured out a lot of things.
Several ministers responded to Su Xiang's words.
In the current situation in Dayu, only the monarch and his ministers can hope to protect themselves.
…
Lu Qing didn't know that her position in the hearts of the ministers had changed drastically, and he felt that she was thoughtful, good at disguise, and suitable to be the emperor.
If she knew what the ministers were thinking, she would give them a big look.
The palace has always been under the control of Empress Dowager Chen. How could she not know if there was any trouble?
She already knew it when Su Xiang and the six ministers entered the palace.
Just wait for a few people to finish talking about the matter before asking the emperor.
But what she couldn't figure out was why these old men came to the palace to find the emperor.
In the past few days, she was so flustered that she secretly contacted the ministers who had previously intended to seek refuge with her. Unexpectedly, she encountered a soft nail. They did not give her any chance to speak. Her desire to win over the ministers suddenly became more intense, because she had previously stood on the side of On her side, the ministers who work for her are no longer popular, and they only send people to evade, so now she has to win over some ministers for her own use.
Queen Mother Chen naturally knew that this was because of Su Xiang, that old man!
Queen Mother Chen scolded her at least ten times a day.
But this time she didn't know that she had really wronged Su Xiang.
They thought that they would only stay in the palace for about half an hour at most. Who would have thought that they would only disperse when it was almost dark?
The Queen Mother went from being calm at the beginning to being irritable at the end, and then to being uneasy.
Just when she was extremely anxious about waiting, she hurried out when she heard the maid from Longquan Palace came to report.
Just as Lu Qing stepped into Longquan Palace, Queen Mother Chen rushed here.
Seeing this, Lu Qing was in a bad mood, and his expression became colder.
Empress Dowager Chen didn't pay attention to Lu Qing's expression at this time. She just wanted to know what Xiang Su and the others talked about with her.
In order not to look anxious, the Queen Mother pretended to express her condolences to Lu Qing, and explained her purpose just when Lu Qing was about to become impatient.
"Your Majesty! My mother is here because she is worried about you. It's freezing cold and you are weak..."
