This is the earliest recorded record of work-for-relief.

What it means is that when a disaster occurred, Yan Zi planned to directly distribute grain to help the people, but Duke Jinggong of Qi State did not agree with Yan Zi's plan. So, Yan Zi recruited the victims to build terraces, and Qi State paid millet, which solved the problem of the hungry victims.

Another example is recorded in the Book of Han, Jia Rang's proposal to the imperial court: If you spend a few years to control the river, use the people who follow the industry to follow the ancient sage's law, determine the position of the mountains and rivers, and let the gods and men be in their own places. No**.

There are records of working-for-relief activities everywhere.

This made Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of later generations. A certain group of people who may have read history but ignored it, or maybe not read a few books, would praise a certain politician on the other side of the ocean every time they encountered trouble. method.

Zhu Yunxi just said the eight words in "Hongyan", and Wang Jun silently lowered his head and sat back down.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi looked at the crowd again and saw that these people no longer had any discussions, so he changed his mouth and said: "Since you have no more discussions, let me talk about it."

Everyone raised their chests and raised their heads slightly, as if they were all ears.

Zhu Yunxi said: "The six prefectures are the cultural land of our Central Plains, so we should not wait too long. The court pays for food, and the people go to work to receive food. This is in line with the trend. However, in years of great disasters, there are always villains who cause trouble and diseases threaten.

Tomorrow, I will go to Kaifeng to supervise the affairs. I have ordered the Imperial Hospital to dispatch 300 imperial physicians, doctors, and apprentices to accompany Kaifeng Mansion. The Ministry of Works will send those who will supervise the water management, and the Ministry of Personnel, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple will each send them for examination. For meritorious service, those who are punished by officials will follow it.

He was ordered to leave Beijing in the winter to help the soldiers of the Beijing army due to the snowy conditions on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and mobilized 30,000 troops and horses to assemble in Taikang County, Chenzhou Prefecture. He was ordered to rectify the troops and horses of the Henan Province Dusi Guard Station."

Earlier, Zhu Yunxi wanted to use the Taiyuan Hospital, the Ministry of Works, the Generals as Supervisors, and the Ministry of Personnel and the Three Law Departments. Everyone can understand the purpose.

But in the end, Zhu Yunxi actually wanted to use the Beijing army that had been scheduled to return to Yingtian one after another, transferred 30,000 troops to Taikang County, and asked Yu Ma, who had just been promoted from Yu Linwei to Henan Dusi this year, to rectify the Henan Dao army.

This made everyone slightly stunned.

Afterwards, Zhai Shan and others couldn't help but think of His Royal Highness the Emperor's behavior in the past two years whenever the country encountered trouble.

His Highness wants to use the knife!

For a moment, everyone's minds were tense.

Zhu Gaochi, who was standing aside, blinked and tried hard to recall what his brother had just said.

After thinking about it several times, Xiaopang finally confirmed that he was not among the accompanying people this time, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

"I won't take you out for a walk this time."

Zhu Yunxi put his hands in his sleeves, and after coming out of Wenyuan Pavilion, he shouted at the person beside him.

….

Zhu Gaochi raised his head, looked at the Meridian Gate in front of him, and curled his lips.

In the whole clan, this guy is the best at cheating people.

It was obvious that he was going to Kaifeng Mansion to provide relief for the disaster, but when it came to his mouth, it turned into "walking away".

Zhu Gaochi tilted his head and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "What do you have to explain?"

Zhu Yunxi turned his head and looked at Xiaopang with a frown: "Why do you feel something is wrong with what you said?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and they all said quietly: "No~"

Hum!

Zhu Yunxi hummed twice: "You stay in Beijing, the tax office is the top priority this year. I am in Henan and will probably stay for a long time. This time is both a disaster and an opportunity. Just wait for my letter and be ready to respond."

The old man from the tax office here in Tianfu."

Zhu Gaochi immediately stopped: "You want to take advantage of the flood in Liufu to promote the integration of officials and gentry with the tax office and the second uncle?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

Then he opened his arms and drew a circle in front of him.

"The Ming Dynasty is like a pond. How deep do you think this pond is?"

"The water in the upper layer of the pond is clear and you can see swimming fish. The government and the public, both inside and outside, will say that the officials will govern the Qingming Festival and the country will be peaceful. But under the clear water in the upper layer, there is still turbid water, and under the turbid water there is silt, and shrimps and turtles lurk in the silt.

in."

Zhu Gaochi frowned and responded in a slow voice: "If the water is clear, the upper water can be seen at the bottom of the pond. Now the flood in Liufu has muddied the water in the pond, and you can catch fish in muddy water."

"That's the truth." Zhu Yunxi nodded and smiled: "The world can never be crystal clear, but we have to ensure that the silt at the bottom of the pond can be dug out a little from time to time, which will also enrich the fields beside the pond, right?

”

Zhu Gaochi showed a thoughtful expression.

He felt that Zhu Yunxi's use of a pond to compare the Ming Dynasty was a very appropriate metaphor.

People are like water, and the female cadre Ni Xiaoxiao will always hide herself in the deepest and deepest place.

In the countryside, ponds are dredged every winter so that they can hold more rainwater and nourish the surrounding fields next year. This is especially true when the imperial court governs the world.

……

The next morning.

Before dawn and the ground was flat and dull, candles were already lighting up in the Taisun Mansion beside the Jiuqu Qingxi River outside Xi'an Gate.

One hundred Taisun Mansion guards, as well as a thousand Jin Yi Guardsmen from Nanzhen Fusiti Cavalry, have already lined up outside the gate of the Mansion.

Another 5,200 Yulin Left Guard troops and horses have boarded a boat at Longwan Wharf outside Xicheng City to cross the river, disembarked in Jiangpu County, and took the land route via Chuzhou, Fengyang, and Chenzhou to Chenliu County in Kaifeng Prefecture, controlling Lankao in the east and Lankao in the west.

Coming to Kaifeng.

There was a sound of footsteps in Taisun's Mansion.

Entered the front door and arrived in front of the front yard.

Zhu Yunxi had already put on a lightweight suit and was surrounded by people from the house.

In the middle of the crowd, to the left and right of Zhu Yunxi were the concubine Tang Queqing and the concubine Mu Caiyun, who were already showing signs of pregnancy.

The two of them joined hands, one on the left and the other on the right, to accompany Zhu Yunxi outside.

"Your Highness, when you go here, you must take your time to do things, take care of yourself, and do everything steadily. It will be okay if you come back slower, but

Don’t be too late. When the time comes to have a baby in your family, the whole family will have a reunion dinner together.”

Tang Queqing muttered in a low voice.

Mu Caiyun was on the other side, with his head lowered and holding two peace charms and sachets in his hands, which were strung on Zhu Yunxi's belt.

She never spoke, but her face lowered, a little nervous and worried.

Zhu Yunxi reached out and patted Mu Caiyun's head, and stroked the concubine's gradually bulging belly with his palms, with a smile on his face: "It's not like we are going to fight, we are just going to relieve the victims. We can always come back within the year."

A group of people finally walked out of the house.

The guards and imperial guards who had been arrayed outside for a long time immediately stamped their feet and looked silently at the emperor's grandson who was standing in front of the mansion.

At this moment.

Everyone's eyes are on Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi, on the other hand, looked sideways at Shenlie Mountain to the east.

Finally, a gleam of light rose in the sky.

The arrival of another early morning in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu.

The sunlight at dawn rises from the east and slowly spreads on the ground, tilting people's shadows.

"Gone."

Zhu Yunxi got on his horse and said to the crowd in front of the mansion.

Then he raised his whip lightly.

The team of more than a thousand people slowly moved.

Under the mist and dim light of dawn, we drove forward.
Chapter completed!
