Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

There are also those lazy and understated complaints.

"We are the people who fled. The court not only ignored us, but even forced us to work."

However, as long as these words are spoken, they will immediately cause attacks from the surrounding people.

"Bah! Do you think that you are a landlord, and the court will support you every day?"

"It's not that the imperial court doesn't care about it. If you don't want to do anything, the imperial court will give you a portion of porridge every day. It will definitely ensure that you people will not starve to death."

"You're a big guy, how do you know you're idle? Why don't you dare to do anything? What do you want to do?"

Most of those who have objections to their work will be scolded and leave in despair.

However, this does not delay, they really do nothing every day, relying on the porridge donated by the court to live.

Regarding this kind of person, the officials of Datong Mansion were also reminded by Zhu Han.

As long as you don't starve to death, let this kind of person fend for himself.

The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. It is not a matter of overnight to change the thinking of these people.

At this moment, Zhu Han felt that instead of wasting time on such people, he should devote his limited energy to those people who were more worthy of rescue.

The same rice feeds a variety of people, and the number of people in the refugee camps is too large. Of course, the number of such people will not be too small.

It's not like these people didn't want to cause trouble.

But well...

Zhu Han directly dispatched his strongest fighting force, the City Appearance and Appearance Management Department of the refugee camp city, referred to as urban management.

The city management was dispatched, and those people with ulterior motives soon became honest.

Datong government office.

"My lord, it's the lower officials who misunderstood my lord, and I ask my lord to punish me." Wu Zhen, the magistrate of Datong, knelt on the ground and said solemnly.

"The lower officials are incompetent, not to mention that they can't save the common people, but they even misunderstood the good intentions of the prince. They really deserve to die!"

Originally, Wu Zhen hated Zhu Han very much in his heart.

Although Zhu Han's original reputation was very good, his prestige took a sharp turn for the worse when the high food price incident happened.

For his own attempt, Wu Zhen naturally didn't dare to show the slightest bit on the surface.

For whatever Zhu Han ordered, he will try his best to do well...

At least on the surface, Wu Zhen behaved respectfully and obediently.

But in fact, the upright prefect of Wu has secretly contradicted Zhu Han's arrangements.

From Wu Zhen's point of view, he was not disobeying the emperor's orders.He was just doing his duty as a courtier, destroying King Zhu Han of Great Harmony.

Now it is not the middle or late Ming Dynasty, the government is in chaos, and any outrageous things can happen.

At this time, it is the time to turn from chaos to governance, so the atmosphere in the officialdom is relatively clear, and there are not so many twists and turns.

Wu Zhen was able to serve as the magistrate of Datong, not only because of the support of his family.The most important reason is because he has this ability.

He always felt that Zhu Han forcibly established so many rules for the people in the refugee camp, and he was simply looking for trouble for nothing.

Now is the time for those people to flee, can those rules fill their stomachs?

Even, His Royal Highness spared no expense in transporting wood to build refugee camps.

Are you kidding me?
This is a refugee camp, not a palace, so it needs to be built so well?

However, as time went by, Wu Zhen suddenly discovered that he could really understand what King Ying Zhu Han wanted to do.

After understanding Zhu Han's deep meaning, Wu Zhen only felt as if there were electric currents running through his whole body, and Ren Du's second channel was opened up in an instant.

"Understood, so that's what happened."

"There is such a deep meaning, is His Royal Highness a person who knows it from birth?"

"God, what have I done before, damn it."

Wu Zhen's master, seeing his face darkened and looking like he wanted to commit suicide, couldn't help being curious: "Fu Zun, are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Wu Zhen shook his head slowly, smiling bitterly, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

The two have worked together for so many years, and this is the first time for the master to see Wu Zhen's appearance of losing his composure. He couldn't help becoming more curious: "Master, what happened? Could it be His Highness the King of England..."

Wu Zhen let out a long sigh: "It is indeed related to His Royal Highness, but the matter is not what you think."

After a pause, Wu Zhen smiled wryly and said, "We all misunderstood His Royal Highness."

"What?" The master couldn't believe his eyes: "Fu Zun, if there is any discomfort in your body, should we invite a doctor? You must never hide your illness and avoid medical treatment."

Wu Zhen gave the master a big white eye. If the two of them hadn't been good friends since childhood, the master would have been helping him after he failed the imperial examination, and even gave up many opportunities because of it.

He really wished that the servants would drag his master out and beat him up severely.

He dared to suspect that he was sick.

"I'm not sick, and I'm not joking." Wu Zhen came to the window slowly, opened the window and looked outside Datong City, in the direction of the refugee camp.

"Before, this government, like everyone else, always felt that His Royal Highness was worthy of the name. In order to get money, regardless of the lives of the people, he insisted on using the power of the court to forcibly raise the price of food to a sky-high price that the people could not afford."

The master frowned slightly: "But my lord, isn't that the case? You see, it's only been a few days? The grain merchants in Datong Prefecture have at least doubled their value. Their money is all from the common people The sucked blood."

"It is said that in order to thank the King of England, many grain merchants have already brought great gifts to see His Highness the King of England." After speaking, the master curled his lips contemptuously and said: "As for those businessmen's requests for an audience, His Highness the King of England is not the only one who comes. Rejection. In the past few days, I'm afraid you'll get hand cramps just by receiving gifts, right?"

A look of admiration appeared on Wu Zhen's face: "That's exactly what makes this government admire His Highness the King of England even more. For the sake of righteousness, he will not hesitate to sacrifice his own reputation. Looking at the world today, I am afraid that few people can do what the King of England does. kind of degree."

???

The master was at a loss when he heard it.

Isn't it right?Accepting and accepting bribes, how can you still brag like that?

Although Wu Zhen is not that kind of perfect and upright official, he still has a heart to do things for the common people.

It is also because of this that after the imperial examination failed, the master simply gave up the idea of ​​the imperial examination and prepared to assist Wu Zhen wholeheartedly.

But Wu Zhen's performance today made him extremely disappointed.

What is the difference between what the King of England did in the prefectural city of Datong, and a second-generation ancestor who came here to mix his qualifications.

But Wu Zhen, in a daze, this second generation ancestor, boasted that he was a good man with righteousness in mind.

It's not that the master doesn't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast.

There was no need for the master to speak, Wu Zhen already knew what he was thinking just by seeing his expression.

"I know, you feel that the government has changed. For the sake of your official career, you don't hesitate to lower your face and flatter His Royal Highness without a bottom line."

The master nodded slightly, and said respectfully: "Fu Zun, you have misunderstood, the villain would never dare to think of Fu Zun like that."

There is another layer of meaning in these words, of course Wu Zhen can understand.

What the master said was not daring, not not having.

It was almost like admitting directly that he thought so.

Wu Zhen shook his head with a smile: "Master, this mansion has sent people to investigate before. His Royal Highness didn't keep any of the money and all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry that those businessmen gave to His Royal Highness. Our Datong Mansion replaced it with food and sent it to the refugee camp."

"What?" The master raised his head in shock, and couldn't believe his ears.

This is the first time he has heard of it.

Wu Zhen was not surprised either, because when he heard the news for the first time, his reaction was exactly the same as that of his master: "Master, you also know that our Datong Manor is actually not short of food right now. It's just that...the money to buy food is lacking." That's all."

"Now, those merchants took the initiative to send the silver to His Royal Highness Yang. His Royal Highness directly exchanged the silver for food to help the people affected by the disaster."

Faintly, the master seemed to understand something.It's just that the feeling is too vague, and I can't figure it out completely for a while.

It's just that the mouth is not forgiving, and still a little unconvinced: "Isn't this taking off your pants and farting, is it unnecessary?"

Wu Zhen shook his head slowly: "But master, if there is no high grain price before, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy grain."

"And His Royal Highness has also given some subsidies to the people of Datong who buy food. Although they still have to pay a high price to buy food. However, the price is not much different from when the black market first opened."

"The reason why our Datong's grain price is so stable now is because His Royal Highness has set the price in advance. Otherwise..." Wu Zhen's face turned dark: "Let things go on, the government dare not think about it." , anyway, it must be more than four taels of silver and one stone."

Master also agrees with Wu Zhen's conclusion: "The disaster this time is worse than we imagined. To this day, there are still people who have escaped from the disaster. If the price of food hadn't been controlled in advance, the price of food now It’s really going to be too high to imagine.”

Under Wu Zhen's explanation, the master also gradually understood Zhu Han's painstaking efforts.

And Wu Zhen's words continued: "There is also the construction of the refugee camp. Before this government, like everyone else, felt that His Highness the King of England was simply looking for trouble."

"Those refugees just lived outside Datong Mansion for a period of time. After the disaster is over, they will naturally be sent back to their original places. There is no need to build wooden houses for those people. What's more, in this refugee camp, there are still There are so many inexplicable rules."

The master's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help asking in shock: "Fu Zun, what do you mean..."

Wu Zhen nodded slightly, and said with self-reproach: "We all misunderstood His Royal Highness, every decision made by His Royal Highness after he came to Datong Mansion was to save the disaster-stricken people with all his heart, but we couldn't understand His Royal Highness at all. deep meaning."

"Not only can't assist the prince in his efforts to rescue the disaster, but even secretly..."

Maybe this conclusion is too shocking, and the master still doesn't believe it.

"Fu Zun, could it be that you are thinking too much?"

Wu Zhen let out a long sigh: "On the contrary, it's not that the government thinks too much, it's that it really thinks too little."

"If this government could understand these things before, and fully cooperate with His Royal Highness. Maybe... this government is the eternal sinner of Datong."

The master felt more and more inexplicable: "Fu Zun, what is going on? Please tell the Fu Zun clearly."

It was also the time when Wu Zhen wanted to talk to someone, so naturally he didn't hide anything.

"His Royal Highness, there are actually several deep meanings in the reason why we put so much effort into building the refugee camp."

"One is to tell the common people that the imperial court is doing everything possible to provide disaster relief, so there is this brand new refugee camp. This is the imperial court's determination to provide disaster relief."

"Once a person has hope, the power that explodes is completely different."

The master suddenly realized: "So that's the case, the purpose of the prince to do this is to give some hope to the people affected by the disaster?"

Wu Zhen waved his hand: "My lord's purpose is not only that."

"In the refugee camp, the prince hired many people. Among those people were street sweepers, toilet watchers, etc."

"The reason for this is to give those refugees something to do."

"In the past, most of the disaster relief by the imperial court left the people in one place. But people can't be idle. Once they are idle, they will start to think wildly, which gives opportunities for those who are interested."

"The Yellow River Rebellion, isn't that how it came about?"

The master understands that the chaos of the Yellow River is talking about the rebellion of the Yellow River workers at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

"As for not being able to defecate anywhere, and not being able to drink raw water casually. The prince also explained to us that it is to prevent disease."

"After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. The common people live together. Once a death occurs and cannot be dealt with in time, the disease will appear soon. How many people will die by then?"

"This..." The master was at a loss for words for a moment and dared not answer.

In this era, the means of prevention and control of epidemics are very limited.

Therefore, once a large-scale epidemic occurs, these people who have just escaped will immediately fall from one hell to another even more terrifying hell.

"But look, how many sick people have been sick since the establishment of the refugee camp? What do you think is the reason for all this?"

In the master's mind, a door seemed to open suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "Fu Zun, what do you mean, all these are the prince's rules?"

Although some can't believe it, but based on their past experience.

The reason why there is no major epidemic this time is very likely because of the influence of Zhu Han, which seems to be just a rule of looking for trouble when there is nothing to do.

A drought of unprecedented scale was under Zhu Han's manipulation.The number of people who really starved to death is not large, and the people affected by the disaster have now been effectively resettled for the time being.

Both Wu Zhen and Unemployed knew that even if they tried their best to rescue the disaster, they would not be able to reach this level.
