Mining with all his might?
Eunuch Lin stood behind Li Yuan and immediately said,""Your Majesty, if you pay according to the salary in Chang 'an, this is not a small amount.”
"But recently, there have been a lot of people fleeing from disasters and famine.”
"Your Majesty, if you want to find someone, it's still very easy.”
Li Yuan listened to Eunuch Lin.
He looked at the vast wasteland around him and swept his gaze over.
Then, he looked at Eunuch Lin and said,"There have been many disaster victims coming to Chang 'an recently, right?"”
Eunuch Lin was the Head of the Imperial Household and Li Yuan's Imperial Attendant. If he wanted to keep his position, he had to have his eyes all over Chang 'an.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know what Li Yuan wanted to ask him.
What was the point of Li Yuan still having him?
Eunuch Lin immediately told him the information he had gathered over the past few days."Your Majesty, in the past few days, countless disaster victims have gone to Chang 'an.”
"Among them, the young and strong laborers are already looking for work in Chang 'an.”
"The Minister of Revenue, Fang Xuanling, has already ordered people to count the number of refugees. The initial estimate is that there are already 4,000 households.”
"As for the matter of giving out the porridge, His Highness Prince Xi has already made preparations. It seems that we can give out the porridge today.”
Li Yuan placed his hands behind his back and looked at the Great Tang.
Four thousand households.
According to a family of three to five people, there were already 10,000 to 20,000 people.
He looked at Eunuch Lin and said," It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Giving them porridge can only help them survive the disaster in front of them."”
"But a job can let them live comfortably and not have to worry.”
"How about this, I will let the Black Armor Guards and Golden Guards come over and clear the surrounding forest of wild beasts and tigers. You will inform the King of Xi and I will order him to let the people settle down here.”
"The land belongs to them, and the houses are built by them.”
"The imperial court pays their wages for mining, and when they no longer have a place to live, the imperial court takes care of them. In the future, their children can still attend official schools.”
Eunuch Lin stood beside Li Yuan.
He only felt that Li Yuan's body seemed to be emitting a dazzling light as he spoke.
He seemed to be like the legendary saints.
There was food to eat.
There was money to be earned.
There was a place to stay.
Their children could still go to school in the future.
Wasn't this the life of an immortal? Even though he was by Li Yuan's side, he knew that in this chaotic world, human lives were like grass.
There were countless cases of people freezing to death on the streets where wine and meat were stinky.
However, Li Yuan cared about the people. This was a benevolent ruler.
Eunuch Lin thought about how he subdued Ma Zhou and let the children of the disaster victims go to school. Was this what Li Yuan had planned?
When Eunuch Lin thought of this, he knelt on the ground and looked at Li Yuan respectfully.""Your Majesty, this old servant thanks you on behalf of the thousands of disaster victims.”
"This old servant's elder brother and his family of three died while fleeing from famine.”
Li Yuan looked at Eunuch Lin and said,""I am the ruler of the Great Tang. If I don't care about the lives of the people, then wouldn't I be a fatuous ruler?”
"This mine is only a trial.”
" If it's feasible, then it'll be the foundation of the Tang Empire. Alright, I'm tired. Let's go back to Chang 'an."”
Eunuch Lin hurriedly got up and patted the dirt off his body. He then led Li Yuan onto the carriage and returned to Chang 'an.
He was extremely excited.
Along the way, he looked at the disaster victims who were staggering. He felt that Li Yuan had arranged this matter for him, which clearly meant that he valued him.
At this moment.
Not far from the porridge stall outside Chang 'an City.
Li Jiancheng and Fang Xuanling stood there and sighed as they looked at the emaciated and dirty commoners.
"Minister Fang, a few months ago, these people might have been living in peace and enjoying the happiness of their families.”
"Now, we've been fleeing for our lives and have suffered countless casualties.”
"There's actually no news from Hebei Province. If it wasn't for the fact that the disaster couldn't be hidden, I'm afraid we would have to cover it up and who knows how many people would die.”
"This king, this time, I must ask my father for an imperial order to behead these corrupt officials in public.”
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng's indignant expression.
He didn't have too many fluctuations. He had been an official for many years and had seen countless such things. He just stroked his beard and said,"Your Highness, the affairs of the government are not as simple as they seem.”
"It won't be done in a day if you want to purge them.”
"It's easy to kill someone, but can you guarantee that another person is a good official?”
"Therefore, I advise Prince Xi to think carefully about the disaster relief and not act rashly. Now that so many disaster victims have gone to Chang 'an.”
"It also needs to be properly resolved."
Li Jiancheng felt bitter as he listened to Fang Xuanling's words.
He understood Fang Xuanling's words.
It was easy to kill a corrupt official, but how to ensure that the next one was not a corrupt official?
This seemed to be an unsolvable problem.
But then he turned to look in the direction of the Imperial Palace, a trace of pride rising in his heart. He looked at Fang Xuanling and said,""Minister Fang, you and I can't think of a countermeasure for this matter.”
"But Imperial Father definitely has a solution. Later, this Prince will enter the palace to seek a solution from Imperial Father.”
Fang Xuanling did not speak.
If it was before, even if he didn't refute, he wouldn't have trusted Li Yuan.
But now, Fang Xuanling was somewhat fearful of Li Yuan's unfathomable strength, but at the same time, he felt a little hopeful that Li Yuan might really be able to resolve this matter.
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said," Prince Xi is right. Your Majesty is a genius with unparalleled wisdom. There must be a way."”
"But you and I should solve this problem first. We can't let the disaster victims block the city gate.”
Li Jiancheng listened to Fang Xuanling praise Li Yuan with a proud expression.
However, looking at the increasing number of disaster victims, he felt even more helpless.
They were all citizens of the Great Tang, so they couldn't just chase them away.
However, if there were more and more of them, it would be even more troublesome if there were people who had evil intentions and caused a mutiny.
It was also at this time
Eunuch Lin, on the other hand, rode his horse over in plain clothes. After sending Li Yuan into Chang 'an, he hurried over without stopping for a moment.
Li Jiancheng's guards wanted to stop him, but he recognized Eunuch Lin.
He waved his hand to signal the guards not to stop him.
Eunuch Lin also dismounted and jogged over. He bowed to Li Jiancheng and Fang Xuanling and said,""Prince Xi, Minister Fang."
"His Majesty sent me here to discuss with you about the disaster victims outside Chang 'an City.”
