Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1311 His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhuangzai

  Fang Jifan took the blame for this.

  Because... he's really a nice guy.

  A good person must first have empathy.

  Although I already have glory and wealth, I still take the common people in the world as my own responsibility.

  The edict was sent to the cabinet immediately.

   Li Dongyang was on duty in the cabinet. Hearing that the prince had an edict, he did not dare to neglect it.

  He knew in his heart that His Majesty stayed in Beijing this time to really test the prince.

   took the imperial edict, opened it, and was dumbfounded.

   Li Dongyang was speechless.

  Migration…

   Such things happened in the early Ming Dynasty.

  Because of the endless wars and turmoil in the world, ten rooms and nine rooms are empty. Therefore, the imperial court decreed that the households should be reorganized and moved to other places to settle and cultivate.

  But today is different from the past.

  Where is not overcrowded now.

  The population of Jingli has exceeded one million, and that's it, not including the nearby suburban counties.

   Now suddenly there is a large-scale move from the Henan chief envoy to relocate the victims. These victims have come, do they have land to cultivate? How to settle down?

  Countless thoughts came to my mind.

   It wasn't until he saw the imperial edict, which wrote the four characters of internal funds, that Li Dongyang felt a little relieved.

  Neiku pays for it.

  This... seems to make Li Dongyang feel better.

only…

  Li Dongyang sighed. He knew that His Royal Highness's edict was difficult to violate, so he had to order people to copy the edict and distribute it to various ministries for execution. On the other hand, he was busy drafting the letter and sent it to Shandong urgently.

   "It's...really..."

  He muttered something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

  ...

  The ministries got the edict and got busy all of a sudden.

   This is a big deal.

Although all the ministries have questioned this edict in private, but now, no one dares to make a mistake. Before His Majesty has not come forward to clean up the mess, the consequences of violating His Royal Highness's edict are obviously more serious .

  After that, some people flew to the Henan Chief Commissioner, and the Henan Chief Commissioner's prefectures and counties also began to move.

  Following them were the scholars from Xishan College, the lieutenants of Feiqiu Camp, and even Tuntian Wei.

  The elites of Zhenguofu and Jingfu came out in full force.

   On the surface, it is to assist the relocation of the disaster victims. To a certain extent, these local officials dare not take advantage of this opportunity of relocation to harm the people.

  The money and food from the treasury have been allocated.

   Outside the fifth ring road of the new city, a large amount of land has been opened up.

  Xishan Jianye transferred the backbone and quickly started planning.

  Countless people started building large-scale projects.

  According to the plan, densely packed small buildings will be arranged here, with a small space. In the future, it will be used as a rental to supply the disaster victims.

   And the rent will be reduced to some extent.

   Not only that, Fang Jifan started to walk around.

  He took Wang Jinyuan and started to contact various commercial firms. Fang Jifan put on a rare good face, and chatted happily with the owners of various commercial firms with a smile. What they talked about was nothing more than relief.

  I hope this firm can accommodate some disaster victims and recruit more manpower.

  Xishan Jianye here has also planned to recruit 5,000 more manpower, as well as Xishan Coal Industry and Xishan Iron Workshop.

  Xishan Medical College began to recruit a group of people for simple medical training in order to cope with the influx of disaster victims and the shortage of doctors in the future.

  Su Yue was so busy that she lost her head. He didn't look down on doctors after these simple trainings. What's the use of just learning a little superficial kung fu?

   There is no way, something is better than nothing. Teaching them the knowledge of treating minor illnesses and pains can at least alleviate some pains.

   Immediately after that, the Tianjin Wei Railway directly announced the start of construction.

   This is also a method of cash-for-work.

  Once the construction of this railway starts, it will inevitably require a lot of manpower, and many supporting workshops will have to expand their production to deal with the large number of disaster victims that may come.

  Fang Jifan was tired and out of breath.

  Followed Zhu Houzhao to the resettlement area for the victims.

   Here is just a barren land.

   But the road has been barely connected.

  Countless craftsmen and laborers are busy here, and more than nine million taels of silver have been allocated from internal funds to develop this large piece of land.

  Zhu Houzhao looked at the planning drawings, checked them, and then rushed to meet another group of merchants without stopping.

  These merchants all promised to donate some money and provide some jobs so that after the disaster victims settle down, they can have a wage.

  Zhu Houzhao was so busy that he was dizzy, but he enjoyed it and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.

  The cabinet and the six ministries were all dumbfounded, watching His Royal Highness ignore everything and focus on this...all dumbfounded.

  ...

   Shengjia walked slowly and just arrived in Shandong.

  Emperor Hongzhi walked along the road and felt a lot better after seeing the mountains and rivers.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt extremely excited when he thought that he was about to enshrine the Zen.

   Every once in a while, there will be reports from Beijing. These reports will be handled by Liu Jian and Xie Qian who accompanied them, and then they will be reported to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Liu Jian and Xie Qian to be in the same car. The three of them were in the car, looking at the scenery outside through the glass. For once, I just let go and followed Zhen to Mount Tai, the matter in the capital naturally involves the crown prince and Li Qing's family, look, isn't everything calm now?"

   "We are all old, and we should give young people some opportunities. After all... this world will belong to the prince in the future."

  Emperor Hongzhi hadn't dealt with government affairs for seven or eight days, and the rare silence made him feel extremely relaxed.

   Liu Jian said with a smile: "What your majesty said is that the old minister doesn't care. This time, I will take a good walk with your majesty and have a look."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "It should be so."

  He leaned on the sofa and took a sip of tea: "I'll just be an idler for the past few months. In this life, I've worked hard for half my life, so it's time for me to take a break. The child has grown up, and as a parent..."

   Speaking of this, someone outside slammed the imperial chariot: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned, which was obviously extremely rude.

   This voice belongs to Xiao Jing.

  Xiao Jing was in a hurry, he didn't care about anything, he wanted to hit his head with a car outside.

  The carriage stopped.

  Xiao Jing hurriedly opened the door.

  The imperial chariot was specially made, and it was extremely spacious, almost equivalent to a small hall.

  Xiao Jing got on the car with his waist bent, glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, and took out a report that had just been sent in a hurry: "This is from Dongchang urgently, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi curled his lips, looking dissatisfied, but still took over the report, but said indifferently: "I have said it all, I want to rest..."

  Speaking of which.

  Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

   "Yeah." He made a strange sound.

   "Your Majesty..." Liu Jian looked at Emperor Hongzhi nervously.

  Emperor Hongzhi's complexion fluctuated, and suddenly...he felt his heart...severely hurt.

  Hoo...

  He let out a long breath.

  Looking lost.

  He raised his eyes and looked at Liu Jian and Xie Qian.

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were dull.

   "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing was anxious at the side: "Quickly, quickly pass on to female doctor Liang."

   "No." Emperor Hongzhi finally responded and waved his hand: "No need, no need."

   "Your Majesty...this..." Liu Jian looked at Emperor Hongzhi cautiously, feeling very worried.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Hey...the Central Plains has suffered another catastrophe."

   Both Liu Jian and Xie Qian's expressions sank slightly.

  This is the most densely populated place. Once there is a catastrophe, it is unknown how many people will die.

   "The crown prince issued an edict, and unexpectedly... wants to relocate the victims to Beijing to settle down."

  Liu Jian and Xie Qian looked at each other in blank dismay. This... is terrible. God knows how many victims there are. With such a huge influx of people, can the capital afford it? The treasury... can it hold it? Once something goes wrong, it's not a joke, it's going to cause a big mess. Both Liu Jian and Xie Qian know how terrible the refugees are.

  Emperor Hongzhi said with difficulty: "The crown prince actually wants to take out his inner money, thirty million taels of silver, for resettlement purposes."

  Hoo...

  Liu Jian and Xie Qian, who looked miserable, actually recovered some blood.

  Neiku pays?

   Think about it too, the treasury simply cannot afford it.

  This inner library...can you pay for it?

   Thirty million taels.

   Liu Jian and Xie Qian began to feel sorry for Emperor Hongzhi. If they had such a son, it would be unreasonable not to kill him.

   This is a prodigal son.

  Emperor Hongzhi exhaled and inhaled deeply, and after a long time, he calmed down: "I want to return to Beijing."

"Your Majesty..." Liu Jian was about to cry: "Your Majesty, the imperial edict has been issued, and the raw rice has been cooked. Even if your majesty returns to Beijing at this time, it will not help. Besides, your majesty has issued an edict to visit Mount Tai. Turning back, I'm afraid that people in the world will have private opinions, Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that life seemed to lose much meaning all of a sudden.

   What Feng Zen, what holy king.

   are like meaningless skins, no matter how colorful the decoration is, it doesn't make much sense.

  He sighed heavily and fell silent.

  ...

   A copy of the memorials from the Henan chief envoy was sent to the cabinet. Li Dongyang was shocked when he saw these memorials.

  Hearing that the capital is going to take in victims of the disaster, all prefectures and counties are in a state of excitement. Countless people, with their families and their families, are heading north with the help of the government, and the number of people continues to increase sharply.

  Although people have a very stubborn concept of the country, they can't stand it. Over the years, disasters have been frequent, people are hungry, and they can't live anymore.

   These countless victims covered the sky and the sun, countless.

  According to the rough estimate in the report, I'm afraid... the population will exceed one million.

   Li Dongyang was a little dazed.

  The Ministry of Household Affairs originally estimated a population of 300,000 to 400,000 people.

  But they still never expected that a large number of people, eager to survive, seemed to give up everything in order to survive.

   "Come here..." Li Dongyang didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly got up: "Is His Royal Highness in the palace?"

   "Go to Xishan."

   "Prepare the chariot and horses, the old man is going to Xishan."

  ...

   Brazenly ask for a monthly pass.
