Lu Yu looked at his father striding away in the cold wind. He was a little stunned, a little moved, but in the end he laughed.
His father treated him so well!
He had read too many history books, and what he saw was that the royal family had no father or son. This was the case with Fusu in the Qin Dynasty, and with Liu Zhi in the Han Dynasty. He once thought about what he was like, but now, his father gave him the best answer.
Lu Yu took a deep breath, regained his composure and walked back. When he returned to the camp, he saw that Jia Xu was still there, with a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Jia, thank you for being here, so that I don't have to look for you again."
Jia Xu said: "Is Your Majesty leaving so soon?"
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Father said something and went back."
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "The conversation between His Majesty and the Crown Prince should be to instruct the Crown Prince to gradually take power, establish personal prestige, and even prepare to govern the Ming Dynasty in the near future, right?"
Lu Yu looked at Jia Xu in surprise and praised: "Sir, you are really a god."
Jia Xu said: "Prince, this is a subtle observation. As the prince holds a high position and will be in charge of the Ming Dynasty in the future, you must pay more attention to the movements of the people around you, and you must understand people's demands. Governing the country is the general direction, and implementing it is to govern people. .”
Lu Yu asked: "How do you judge your father's arrangements, sir?"
Jia Xu replied: "Your Majesty has been training the prince from the beginning. Your father-in-law is the governor, and your teacher is Zheng Xuan. In addition, there is Zhuge Liang in the court who is your senior brother, and there are also veterans who are now the prince's tutor. "
"These are superficial."
"The most important thing is that His Majesty is not like an ordinary emperor. He likes to stay in the palace and take charge."
"Your Majesty prefers to be on the front line, not the rear."
"The Ming Dynasty has been unified and the Western Region has also been conquered, so in the future, His Majesty will definitely leave the country and seize more and more territory. Perhaps His Majesty's future focus will be outside, so it is normal for His Majesty to delegate power early."
Jia Xu showed a look of yearning in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty's meritorious service far exceeds that of previous kings. Your Majesty's ambition is also far greater than that of any king, because your Majesty is not too utilitarian. Otherwise, if you had captured the King of Qin, Your Majesty has already executed King Qin."
Lu Yu nodded and became clearer.
There was even more urgency in his heart because he was not ready yet.
Lu Yu solemnly said: "Sir, my father and I have confessed. When I am crowned and come of age, my father will relieve himself of the burden and hand the Ming Dynasty into my hands. Therefore, I beg you, sir, to give me your advice."
Jia Xu stood up and cupped his hands and said: "This is what an old minister should do. As an old minister, he can help the prince before he dies, so that the prince will rule the Ming Dynasty, and the old minister will die without regrets."
Lu Yu said quickly: "Mr. Jia's words are serious, you are not old now."
Jia Xu said: "I am almost sixty years old, and half of my body has been buried in the ground. How many more years can I live happily?"
He changed the topic and continued: "Getting back to the topic, since Your Majesty has delegated power and further expressed his sincerity, the prince will go all out. Nowadays, there are many refugees in Tagancheng in the Western Region, and they need to be rescued one by one. This is the entry point of the prince. "
Lu Yu said with emotion: "My father and my husband mentioned the same things. My father also asked me to deal with the refugee issues."
Jia Xu said: "In this case, the prince will be responsible for contacting Xun Yu, allocating a batch of grain, setting up a porridge tent, and providing relief to the victims. The prince will be responsible for this matter personally and must do it himself. The prince has not done anything before, so he has ideas but does not Practical operations. In fact, many operations are not easy to understand until they are specifically involved.”
Lu Yu nodded and said, "I'll coordinate right away."
Jia Xu handed over his hands and left.
Lu Yu took Jiang Ji with him and contacted Xun Yu directly and expressed his intention to help the victims. Because providing relief to the victims was conducive to governing the people, Xun Yu had no objection to Lu Yu's arrangements and directly allocated grain.
Lu Yu joined the army again and assigned soldiers to cook porridge, so he opened a porridge tent to provide relief to the victims.
Pot after pot of hot porridge was cooked, steaming in the cold wind.
After Lu Yu arranged for people to promote it, refugees came to collect it. Everything went smoothly at first. However, later on, some people began to be dissatisfied with one bowl of porridge and asked for more, and some people came repeatedly to receive porridge.
Lu Yu initially noticed the person who came to receive porridge repeatedly and did not stop him.
After all, being a refugee is not easy.
However, Lu Yu soon discovered that in addition to the refugees, ordinary people in the city also came to participate, and a large family came to receive it. Under such circumstances, it has deviated from its original intention. It is no longer to provide relief to the victims, but to provide relief to everyone.
This is unbearable.
Lu Yu and Jiang Ji were watching not far away. They saw a lot of people queuing at the porridge shed. They were even more unhappy when they saw countless refugees receiving porridge and then queuing again.
Lu Yu looked at Jiang Ji with a serious look on his face and said, "Jiang Ji, how do you think we can stop ordinary people from coming to collect it now, and prevent refugees from receiving it repeatedly?"
Jiang Jiong said sternly: "Your Highness, I think this matter is simple. Just arrange for someone to keep an eye on it. As long as it is discovered, he will be severely punished immediately. In addition, ordinary people are strictly prohibited from coming to collect it. Once discovered, they will be directly transferred to build the city wall. , clearing roads after snow.”
Lu Yu said in a deep voice: "It's not enough. Many people can disguise themselves. What's more, if there are too many people, they can't see clearly and they can't recognize them clearly."
Jiang Ji also fell silent immediately.
Further strategies are difficult to handle.
Lu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "I have an idea. Jiang Ji, you go and issue a decree. A person can only receive it once a day and cannot repeat it. Ordinary people are not allowed to receive it, only refugees."
"After the decree is promulgated, reports from refugees will be accepted. Once the report is made on those who repeatedly received the porridge and verified, they will be rewarded with ten cents. At the same time, those who repeatedly received the porridge will be directly arranged to clean the streets. In addition, those who are caught receiving porridge from ordinary people will directly serve as corvees. .”
"As you command!"
Jiang Ji got the order and quickly made arrangements.
After the order was issued, many ordinary people who came to receive porridge dispersed in a hurry. These people were able to make a living, but once they were punished with corvee service, it was very uneconomical for them.
Those who came to receive porridge repeatedly also left one after another, not daring to come back again. Because there are many refugees who want to report, if there is one less person to jump in the queue and one less person to receive the porridge, he will be able to receive the porridge faster. Naturally, he does not want anyone to receive the porridge again.
After Lu Yu's arrangements, the relief work went smoothly.
At the same time, publicity began to spread outside. Jiang Jiong came out to help the people under the order of Emperor Lu Xuan. The emperor cared about the people and personally sent Prince Lu Yu to take charge of the relief.
As the relief work continued, Lu Xuan's reputation rose to a higher level through Bu Shan's publicity.
Lu Yu also began to rise to prominence.
