After getting the decree, Han Yong gained strength to work.
Feng Shiqi was brought to justice, and a series of officials who had been conniving with Prince Ning's family for many years were uncovered.
Then he sent people to Prince Ning's Mansion to collect the money.
It can be regarded as compensation for the injured people.
As for the most basic bodyguards and thugs, the only place they want to go is the cold north...
Cao Jixiang, Zhou Ming and others also walked around Nanchang Mansion and reprimanded King Ning and his family.
The second child, Zhu Dianxi, the prince of Ruichang County, was attacked.
The third child, Zhu Dianlei, the king of Le'an County, was attacked.
The fourth child, Zhu Diandu, the prince of Shicheng County, was attacked.
The fifth brother, Zhu Diexu, and King Geyang were attacked.
These princes were having a great time eating hot pot and singing songs at home...
Cao Jixiang and Zhou Ming led the imperial guards and local officials and kicked in the door. They were first reprimanded, then their wages were suspended and they were banned for one year.
They suffered an unthinkable disaster.
When they learned that it was the boss of Ning, Zhu Dianpei, they were very angry. He bullied the people, and I was punished...
………………
Night, capital, Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Jianshen frowned as he looked at the disaster relief situation of Qinyang Mansion transferred by the cabinet.
Zhang Bao has been watching beside him, and His Majesty has been watching for half an hour.
Qinyang Prefecture's disaster relief, official warehouses were opened, and large quantities of food were delivered to the people in an orderly manner. Zhu Jianshen breathed a sigh of relief.
But now there is another problem in front of us. The people have received relief grains from the government. The local grain prices should have stabilized, but now the situation is the opposite. It is soaring. The government is helpless to deal with the soaring grain prices. , and this fluctuation has spread to places in Henan's prefectures that have not been affected by the disaster.
No matter in any period, soaring food prices are a disaster for the people. Some people say that when food prices rise, farmers' incomes will also increase.
But things are not that simple. Everything, including silver and gold, is linked to food. If the price of food rises, the price of everything else will rise sharply.
People's income seems to be higher, but the prices of all daily necessities are also higher...
During this period, transportation was inconvenient and Qinyang Prefecture could not affect the national food prices, but it would empty the pockets of all the people at this time.
Zhu Jian sighed deeply. He knew that this kind of panic would continue.
Guancang is to provide relief to the victims, but it will not flow into the market for no reason, because this is a long-term process, and it is impossible to provide a year's rations for a family of eight at once. He can only take his time and start from the beginning. Half a month, slowly expanding to January...
This also reveals that ordinary people do not trust the government. If there is food on the market, they will still rush to grab it.
They relied on the sky to farm the land, paid taxes and grain, and worked hard for many years to save some money.
Either he wants to give his boy a wife when he grows up, or he wants to get more dowry for his girl so that she can speak more forcefully when she gets married at her husband's house. What's more, he wants to send his child to a private school in the town. , if you study and become literate, you can find a counting house in the city...
The money they saved was just for a simple but luxurious dream, but a disaster changed everything.
The ancients often said that it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on heaven and earth. They did not trust the government very much. They wanted to live and save themselves. When the future was uncertain, those beautiful but "insignificant" dreams would be abandoned.
Living is the most important thing.
So when food appears on the market, they will grab it, and the price will naturally soar. The higher the price rises, the more fierce the people will grab...
Even if the government notices are flying all over the sky, saying that the imperial court will open its official warehouses and transport grain from the south, not one of the 300,000 people will starve to death.
The prefect of Qinyang Prefecture and the supervisory censor came to the front line and ordered all grain shops to be closed. However, the people scolded them and surrounded the government, demanding that the grain shops be opened...
No matter what the government does or says.
But the people don’t believe it...
Of course, this is also a shortcoming accumulated when Zhu Jianshen's father, Zhu Qizhen, was still alive. Although there were hundreds of cabinet officials, Wang Zhen was the leader. On such important matters of national economy and people's livelihood, there were endless debates in the court, and there could never be a solution. Come up with a charter...
Now Yu Qian and Li Xian are assisting in the affairs of the government. In fact, they are doing a good job.
In the past years, disaster relief has always been the first priority, and there has never been a civil uprising. However, they are beyond their reach to deal with the lives of the people after the disaster.
This is not the future generation. The country's productivity is low and the court's energy is limited. It simply cannot come up with a post-disaster reconstruction plan, stimulate the economy, or directly distribute money like the later generations...
Zhu Jianshen also knew that he couldn't change this.
But he lives at the bottom, and he wants to keep the last hope of the people at the bottom. This is also the kindness hidden deep in his heart.
"Yu Taibao, Li Fuchen, and Xu Du Yushi, when will they arrive?" Zhu Jianshen put down the official document and glanced at Zhang Bao.
"Your Majesty, we have already urged you. The place where Yu Taibao is staying is far away from the palace city, so it will probably be slower. Li Fuchen and Xu Du Yushi must be waiting outside the palace."
Zhu Jianshen nodded.
Li Xian and Xu Youzhen lived not far from the imperial city, but Yu Qian lived far away. Zhu Jianshen once said that he would give the teacher a nearby house, but Yu Qian refused. Therefore, Yu Qian leaves for work every day earlier than many ministers. , this kind of temporary summons is also the latest to come.
Zhang Bao was right. Now outside the palace gate, in the cold wind, Xu Youzhen and Li Xian were in a mess.
Although Li Xian felt the cold, he did not lose his reputation as a cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty. He stood motionless in the cold wind, even though his heart felt cold, his heart was still flying.
Xu Youzhen relaxed a lot and kept kicking her feet, unable to stand still.
Li Xian glanced at Xu Youzhen from time to time, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "It would be great if I were as free and easy as him."
"Li Fuchen, Li Fuchen, why did your Majesty summon us to the palace at such a late hour?"
"It's hard to guess the holy will. What's more, Xu Du Yushi is a popular person around His Majesty. Logically speaking, you should know." Li Xian thought in his heart that it was so cold that spraying Xu Youzhen for a while could divert his attention.
"The official document from Nanchang has not arrived yet, but I heard that the people from Jinyiwei left early. Could it be that Jinyiwei's system passed the news over? The imperial edict I wrote for Your Majesty will probably make Prince Ning The feudal lord is driven crazy."
"Hmph, it's true that you scold me happily, and you should scold me like this. But Prince Ning's matter seems to be a big deal, but in fact it is a trivial matter. Even if His Majesty has obtained the secret protection of Jin Yiwei, he will not summon me at night."
"Things in Liaodong..." Xu Youzhen said hehely. Shi Heng was staying in Anping County, Liaoping Prefecture, and he must have lived a good life. He had been to North Korea and knew their customs and hospitality.
"Governor Sun and Marquis Wu Yang have managed affairs in Liaodong in an orderly manner, so that's probably not the case."
Xu Youzhen chuckled: "Your Majesty's kindness is not a matter of Liaodong or Prince Ning. It is a matter of Qinyang Mansion's disaster relief."
Li Xian glanced at Xu Youzhen and said softly: "Censor of Xudu, you have changed."
"Why did Li Fuchen say that?"
"During the Zhengtong years, although you were talented and smart, you did not follow the right path and clung to Wang Zhen. But now, you have taken the right path and are determined to go on. This makes me very happy."
"Thank you Li Fuchen for the compliment." Xu Youzhen said with a smile, and then the smile on his face gradually faded, "There is no way to serve the country, we can only take the wrong path, but if we meet the Ming Lord and do nothing, wouldn't it mean that our life will be in vain. "
After saying this, Xu Youzhen seemed to have thought that she was an important minister of the imperial court. She stood upright and looked deeply at the stars in the sky: "The starry sky tonight is beautiful."
"Censor of Xudu, can you tell us about the fate of our country in the Ming Dynasty from today's celestial phenomena?" Li Xian asked seriously.
After Xu Youzhen listened, he smiled. He was surprised that Li Xian would ask him this question like an old friend.
Then he put away his smile and looked at the stars in the sky carefully.
After pausing for a while, he said: "The emperor will be bright for ten thousand years, my family will be prosperous, and the sky will be auspicious..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves came, and Yu Qian's carriage arrived...
