"On behalf of the people of Yingtian, thank you so much, Your Highness!"
Liang Fu shouted loudly.
According to general practice, at this time, he had to praise Zhu Xuan and say a few words of kindness.
Zhu Xuan said: "Okay, Mr. Liang, please go back!"
With that said, he asked Hou Xian to hand over a copy of his charter to Liang Fu.
Grandpa Huang praised that the charter was very comprehensive and allowed Liang Fu to prepare it and implement it according to the contents of the charter to see if there were any problems or loopholes in it.
"My lord, resign!"
Liang Fu bowed his head and left the East Palace.
When he was far away, Zhu Xuan said: "Hou Xian, prepare the carriage, let's leave the city."
If you don't personally visit the front line for disaster relief, it's not called disaster relief. Zhu Xuan must go and see it on the spot, otherwise he will be sorry for the people of Ming Dynasty.
However, after leaving the palace, the first place Zhu Xuan went to was not the eight counties, but the factory.
All materials, except those in the Ministry of Household Affairs, are distributed by Zhu Xuan's factory. Cotton clothes and other items are transported from Suzhou Prefecture, first passed through the factory, and then distributed to people everywhere.
Those briquettes, heaters and other things to keep out the cold also come from here.
Not only the people in the factory are busy going back and forth.
Even the people who were arranged from the Ministry of Revenue were also eager to transfer various other materials, not only to meet the needs of Tianfu, but also the entire northern Ming Dynasty needed these things.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as Zhu Xuan arrived, Ji Wenjing and the others came out.
"how's it going?"
Zhu Xuan asked.
Ji Wenjing said: "Except for the cotton-padded clothes that haven't arrived yet, everything else is fine. We have enough heaters here to keep warm, and there is a lot of food. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will also continue to distribute supplies, so the problem is not big."
Zhu Xuan said: "You must personally check all the things distributed and have the Ministry of Household Affairs write down the vouchers for review at any time."
Ji Wenjing smiled and said: "Your Highness is worried that someone dares to take advantage of it?"
Zhu Xuan doesn't particularly trust officials, which is similar to Lao Zhu.
However, he can't say he dislikes officials very much. When the water is clear, there are no fish. Normally, as long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, he can ignore it for the time being, but in such difficult times, no one is allowed to cause trouble.
Even if you are a little bit greedy, it will never work.
"There are many people in every dynasty who like to make a country rich."
Zhu Xuan said.
Ji Wenjing agreed: "Your Highness is still thoughtful, but please rest assured, it is not easy for you to be greedy in my hands! Not only do I need their vouchers, but I will also reconcile the accounts afterwards. Who handled the things, and if there is any data, If not, the future will be clear at a glance!”
He is also very thoughtful.
Zhu Xuan was relieved for the time being and let them continue to toss.
As long as the supply of materials is ensured, the disaster relief work can proceed smoothly.
The materials delivered to various parts of the Ming Dynasty were also busy being transported and sent out one by one.
They spread salt to open roads, and the salt melted the ice and snow as quickly as possible, giving them opportunities for transportation.
Yingtianfu Yin's people were also in the factory, transporting supplies for the eight counties under Yingtianfu's rule.
Most of the supplies currently shipped out are mainly for keeping out the cold.
Food and other things will not be lacking in other places except Lishui County mentioned by Liang Fu.
If there is, officials from the Ministry of Revenue will report to Zhu Yuanzhang at a meeting, and if they get approval, the chief secretaries of various places will open the granaries and release grain to relieve the people. The problem is indeed not that big.
Zhu Xuan walked around the factory and still trusted Ji Wenjing, and then went to visit the eight counties.
"Go to Lishui County."
Zhu Xuan wanted to know why this county was still short of food, given the advent of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and even chemical fertilizers.
Food is still very important and is the foundation of the national economy and people's livelihood.
However, the price of food is not as high as it was more than ten years ago, and food is no longer a rare thing. But if the magistrate of Lishui County really wants to be greedy again, in fact, no matter how low the price of food is, he will still be greedy.
The essence of corrupt officials is to seek only profit.
Whatever they see, they want to cash in on it.
Arrive at Lishui County.
Due to the private visit incognito, Zhu Xuan and the others traveled in casual clothes and did not have many people with them. Those Jinyi guards did not dare to get too close. They all scattered around the city and followed Zhu Xuan secretly.
With Lei Gang and Hou Xian present, close protection is enough.
Once any problem is discovered, the two of them can block it for a while, and Jin Yiwei will quickly show up. With their cooperation, Zhu Xuan's safety will no longer be a problem.
When entering Lishui County, Zhu Xuan first looked around.
The snow on the street is very thick, but you can see people taking salt and spreading it on the snow, melting the snow water, and then cleaning it up.
Zhu Xuan looked around and saw that there seemed to be no other problems here.
It is also possible that Liang Fu checked eight counties, which caused the county magistrate here to not dare to be too obvious. Even if there were problems, the magistrate would hide them and dare not reveal them.
"Your Highness, I think this place is quite good."
Lei Gang looked around and couldn't see any problem.
Zhu Xuan said: "Go deeper into the city and continue to have a look."
He stepped forward onto the snowy ground.
Walking all the way deep into the city, nothing could be seen in the city.
The weather was relatively cold, and even though Zhu Xuan had so many things to keep out the cold, he was still shaking a little from the cold outside.
The people in the city were not much better.
Cold for sure.
However, there are still many people who are willing to go out for a walk, some to do business, some to buy things, etc. No matter how heavy the snow falls, it cannot stop the people from making a living.
If you don’t go out to work, you won’t have food to eat.
Even things to keep out the cold may not be affordable.
Except for being a bit cold, everything else seemed normal.
Zhu Xuan walked around the city for a while and finally saw the locations where briquettes and heaters were distributed for free.
People from the county government built several sheds outside.
The county government officials brought the things under the shed, simply maintained order, and distributed the things.
Since it was free to receive, the court also promoted it.
Not many people came to collect it.
Outside the shed, there were many people queuing up, and a long queue stretched outside.
"Your Highness is really kind to the people!"
Hou Xian said with sigh.
Such free distribution of things to keep warm and warm was for all the poor people in the Ming Dynasty.
If those stoves and coals were sold in the market, they would definitely make a lot of money, but Zhu Xuan didn't take any money.
"Okay, it's finished."
Not long after, the government officials responsible for distributing things suddenly shouted loudly and began to drive people away, driving away the people queuing up.
It immediately aroused dissatisfaction among a large number of people.
But the people had no choice. When the government officials said the distribution was over, they could only think that the distribution was over and had to leave first.
"Has it been sent out?"
Zhu Xuan was curious when he saw it.
The amount of materials provided by their factory is very large, ensuring that every common person has enough coal and heaters for heating, and there is no situation where the common people cannot receive it after the distribution is finished.
It seems that there is really something wrong with this county.
After a long silence, Zhu Xuan said again: "Ask Ji Wenjing to come over and Yan Guan to send the information about Lishui County."
