Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 178;

It's easier to do things with more people, and in the past ten days, the staff dormitory has become a small scale.

Those disaster victims who came to the farm because of Lu Yaoyao's recruitment of workers no longer had the decadent and desperate look they had when they first arrived in the capital.

No matter old or young, they are full of energy, with smiles on their faces, and hope and longing for a foreign life.

Lu Yaoyao has been staying at the farm for more than ten days, and has returned to the capital several times during the period, mainly to appease the Lu family, and at the same time tell them some news from Jiangdong.

Because of King Jin and some people she arranged to help, the situation of the Lu family in Jiangdong is relatively stable.

In addition, the imperial court has already taken disaster relief measures, but there is no such thing as a refugee riot.

However, this time the severe drought was rare in fifty years, and many people were affected throughout Dongzhou. Although there was relief from the imperial court, Ren did not find the victims to escape from the famine.

In just half a month, the number of disaster victims on the outskirts of the capital has increased from the original [-] to [-] to nearly [-].

However, because this is the land of Gyeonggi, so many victims gathered, the royal family and the imperial court were very worried about riots, so they marked down the resettlement area early and mobilized heavy troops to guard it.

The order has been well maintained, otherwise not only the court is in a state of distress, but Lu Yaoyao's farm will not be easy.

There are nearly [-] victims. If there is a riot, there is no way to save her farm.

This morning.

In the Golden Luan Hall, the king and his ministers were discussing disaster relief.

This severe drought has affected more than [-] million people in Dongzhou, and millions of people have fled the famine. If Emperor Hongwen hadn't issued an urgent order to order officials from all over the country to take in and relieve the victims.

I'm afraid that the number of disaster victims in the capital will double.

"Your Majesty, this drought may be a warning from the heavens. I believe that your majesty should sin against himself and beg the heavens to calm down."

An old man from Yushitai stood up and bowed to Emperor Hongwen.

As soon as these words came out, the face of Emperor Hongwen on the Dragon Throne immediately sank, and a cold light shot from his eyes.

This is the fifth time in the past few days that the minister has asked him to issue an imperial edict.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been working hard to govern Dongzhou in an orderly manner, and he has not made any major mistakes in the ten years of his reign.

Now that there is a drought in the world, these ministers who are usually treated with courtesy by him, don't try to find a way to solve it. Instead, they all come to force him to issue an edict of guilt.

"Subsidiary"

Afterwards, several ministers came out, and Emperor Hongwen's complexion became more and more ugly.

Suddenly, his eyes turned and fell on the left minister Gao Yanming who had been lifted by him and returned to court.

A catastrophe occurred in Dongzhou. As the left minister of the court, he naturally had to discuss with the court.

"How does Prime Minister Zuo feel?"

Hearing this, Gao Yanming walked out of the queue and bowed to Emperor Hongwen.

"The veteran feels that the most urgent task is to find a way to appease and relieve the victims, but the actual matter can be discussed later."

Emperor Hongwen nodded, just about to speak.

The elder who was the first to stand up today to remonstrate and issue a sinful edict said firstly: "The left minister's words are wrong. Relief for the victims is of course important, but if there is no rain for a day, the disaster will not be relieved."

"How much money does the imperial court use to help the victims?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that we should start from the source."

"If the wrath of the heavens does not subside for a day, the victims of the disaster in Dongzhou will have no peace for a day. I implore your majesty to sin against yourself and ask God for forgiveness."

"A bunch of nonsense."

Right Chancellor Wen Songtao also stood up and cast a cold glance at the old man.

"Your Majesty has worked hard to govern since he ascended the throne, and there is no fault at all. Why should you blame yourself?"

After saying this, he bowed his hands to his superior, and then continued: "Master Dong has always asked His Majesty to sin against himself. Could it be that after His Majesty sinned against himself, it will rain immediately?"

The old man surnamed Dong was a little speechless when he heard this.

Who can guarantee this thing?

He proposed this, but it was a helpless solution. To put it bluntly, he wanted to improve his presence.

You can't just keep eyeing a dumb person, watch the big guys discussing each other every day, and keep silent, can you?

But now, Wen Songtao's words made him unable to reciprocate. Who dares to say that it will rain immediately?

"Dong Qing's family is sympathetic to the victims of disasters all over the world, I understand very well."

"If my sinful edict can really make it rain from the heavens and save the people of the world, let alone the next time, even if it is sent ten times, why not a hundred times?"

"However, Dong Qing's family, have you ever thought about the consequences if you can't find the right mistakes and issue an edict rashly?"

All over the world, who doesn't want natural disasters?
That was undoubtedly Emperor Hongwen himself. He worked hard for ten years to make Dongzhou peaceful and the treasury full.

He still wanted to use this opportunity to rectify and tidy up the gentry, now?
There is a severe drought in the world, and it has been accumulated for many years. So far, half of it has been removed. It is not yet known how much it will cost in the future.

The chips in his hand have shrunk greatly. In a short time, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to move the gentry.

"What your majesty said is true. The old minister is too anxious. I beg your majesty to come down."

Mr. Dong, who had already been swayed by Wen Songtao, did not dare to grit his teeth and persist when he heard Emperor Hongwen's words.

Honestly admit your mistake.

"Dong Qing's family, I am very pleased to have such a heart, why should I say that I am guilty?"

Master Dong was very grateful, said some words of praise, and returned to the queue obediently.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongwen looked much better.

However, at the next moment, another minister walked out of the queue.

Taking a closer look, the minister who came out, Emperor Hongwen's calm face just now changed, and became even more ugly when he first heard that he was asked to condemn himself.

At the same time, when the ministers below saw the minister coming out, they all stared at each other, and some ministers even raised their voices in a low voice.

"What is he doing out now?"

"What else can you do?"

"Look, I think His Majesty will definitely be attacked again."

What kind of minister is so awesome?

This person, named Geng Chen, entered the court as an official seven or eight years ago, and has been staying at Yushitai. He is a troublemaker.

He is upright and has a very stubborn temper. He has impeached countless people and things. The most stalwart thing is that he even impeached Emperor Hongwen many times.

It belongs to the kind of hob meat that is not afraid of death. Emperor Hongwen hates and loves him.

Hate, of course, is that he often makes trouble for the emperor, and love, of course, is his uprightness, he does not belong to any faction, he is a pure minister who is only loyal to the country.

These years, because of his existence, all the ministers in the court are very honest, even if they dare to do bad things, they are sneaky, but if this Geng Chen finds out, he will definitely not be impeached.

As the son of heaven, he was in the palace all the year round, and he more or less lacked some understanding of outside affairs, so Emperor Hongwen liked Geng Chen, a courtier who could help him monitor all officials.
