"Then I'm telling you, don't hit me if I say something wrong!"
"You can just say it, just treat it as small talk!" Before Zhu Yu was injured, he would call Zhu Yu over for a drink every now and then.
It's just that now the target is Zhu Jun, and he actually quite likes this.
Originally, he had no hope at all for Zhu Jun, but now this boy is getting better and better.
He actually feels sorry for him, Lao Zhu. What parent doesn’t want their children to become dragons and phoenixes?
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang squatting on the dragon chair with one foot and drooping the other foot, looking like a common citizen, you knew that he was very relaxed at this time.
"Okay, I have thought about this myself." Zhu Jun also took a sip of wine and said: "The past two years have been bad, with a lot of rain and waterlogging, which has led to a reduction in production in several places rich in grain.
In addition, there are corvee collection, tax exemption, large-scale construction projects, official salaries, tax collection, transportation losses, etc.
As a result, our life is very tight.
But fortunately, Dad has prepared for rainy days and has always been in the habit of stocking grain. The grain collected in the past few years will definitely be enough for Daye to survive this difficult moment.
So it is not necessarily difficult to say that it is difficult. My father is not worried about the lack of food, but he hates them for being greedy! "
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways at Zhu Jun, "How do you know that I'm not worried?"
"Dad, I'm not a three-year-old child. The fact that you opened the door wide and attracted a large number of disaster victims shows that you have been prepared for a long time.
Chen Han and Da Zhou seemed to have saved a lot of money and food, but what they lost was people's hearts and talents! " Zhu Jun said.
"That makes a lot of sense, continue!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. He really didn't have to worry about food. The great cause occupied the east and the position was very good.
Most of Jiangnan is the land of Daye.
There is a saying that goes well, Su Changshu has enough in the world!
Although the disaster was serious, the food collected in previous years was enough to provide relief.
"The reason why we are so picky is just to deceive Chen Han and Da Zhou. If they know that we have enough money and food, they might join forces!"
This time Lao Zhu was no longer calm, "You know all this?"
"I was just thinking about it myself, dad, don't interrupt me!" Zhu Jun picked up a chopstick and said, "There is no shortage of food, and there is actually no shortage of clothes. Jiangnan is the land of silk and fish and rice, but we are short of people. !
However, this time the influx of a large number of disaster victims has relieved the pressure to a certain extent.
But dad, I'm not telling you, you are a little too cautious, you want someone, and you hide it. "
"You bastard, you're trying to educate me!" Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Jun, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
This kid can guess all this. This is really his idea.
The reason why he screams poverty every day is to show others.
“If you ask me, we should invite those people from all over the world to settle in our great cause.
Think about it, although we are poor, we are kind-hearted and care about the people. We will not starve to death or let a disaster victim suffer from cold.
to tide over the difficulties together with the victims.
Outsiders don’t know that we actually have food, so why aren’t they moved to tears? " Zhu Jun said.
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and couldn't help but said: "You kid, it's okay. Who told you the tricks?"
"Oh, Dabao taught me this. He said that now that I am helping people every day, the victims have become accustomed to it and are not grateful. Some people even waste food.
Dabao told me that in order to make them feel that Prince Wu's Mansion was very poor, all these grains were saved for them to eat.
That's why I sell lottery tickets to make them think I'm poor.
The effect is quite good, everyone is very grateful to me! " Zhu Jun said.
"This Shen family does have something!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. This move was nothing more than to win people's hearts.
The reason why he did not put forward the work-for-relief plan was actually due to concerns in this regard.
Now when I heard Zhu Jun say this, I suddenly became enlightened.
Instead of hiding it, it's better to win people's hearts while shouting about poverty.
It would not only make Chen Han and Da Zhou feel that he was trying to make a fool of himself, but he had also truly bought people's hearts and gained benefits.
Don't underestimate these reputations, they will be an excuse to attack Chen Han and Zhou Dynasty in the future.
"You continue!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"If you just keep them in vain, no matter how much money you have, they will all be used up. Therefore, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish!" Zhu Jun said: "If those disaster victims have any skills, let them recruit disciples and teach them how to fish." Those young people come to church.
If you don't have any skills, you can make a living by working in the Shen family's businesses!
For those who are elderly, I will build a nursing home to take care of them.
For those who are young, I will build a school and invite teachers to teach them how to read and write.
I will serve my great cause in the future and share my worries for my father!
In this way, they have hope to survive and a direction to work towards, so they naturally stay in Daye.
Even if you use a whip, you won't be able to drive him away! "
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "Good boy, well done. Tell us, how many people have you raised now?"
Zhu Jun scratched his head in embarrassment, "Not much, maybe sixty or seventy thousand people!"
"Sixty or seventy thousand people are not that many?" Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless. Zhu Jun was not a vassal governor and had no financial support. It was already very impressive to be able to support so many people.
"It's not bad. Anyway, if you can save it, save it. If you can't save it, there's nothing you can do!"
"Is this what you call relying on the mountains to feed the mountains, and relying on the water to feed the water?"
"That's right!" Zhu Jun chuckled, "Actually, the work-for-relief program is just the government acting as the contractor to gather these victims together.
Think about how hungry they are, how malnourished they are, and how they can't do anything at all.
It would have been fine at the beginning of the disaster, but the disaster has lasted for two or three years. If these people are not allowed to feed themselves for ten days and a half, it is basically useless.
However, if we really want to support hundreds of thousands of people in the long term, we must disperse them into various industries and allow them to make a living.
So I thought of a way to ask the Shen family and his son to come forward and unite businessmen from all walks of life to hold a recruitment forum.
It is estimated that it can digest several thousand people. "
"Recruitment symposium?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, "You mean, let these businessmen buy people away?"
"It's not buying them, it's recruiting them. Prince Wu's Mansion will come forward to help these victims sign contracts.
The contract was made in triplicate, one for the victims, one for the merchants, and one for the Wu Palace to record.
If a businessman exploits the victims and fails to act in accordance with the contract, the victims can bring the contract to Prince Wu's Mansion to sue, and then come forward to resolve the matter! "
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Zhu Yuanzhang was also attracted by Zhu Jun's idea of "relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water".
"The recruitment seminar hasn't been held yet. I've been busy with my brother's affairs these days. It won't be too late to hold it again after my brother's injury stabilizes. I can still hold on now!
However, Dad, I think the best way is for the imperial court to come forward as a guarantee. In this way, the victims will not be grateful to you? "
