Eunuch Lin came.
This was something that Li Jiancheng and Fang Xuanling had not expected.
Although Eunuch Lin was only a eunuch, once he left the palace, he represented Li Yuan's will, and Li Yuan was in the palace.
He actually knew so clearly that they were giving out porridge here.
He even knew what they were worried about.
This was too unbelievable. Moreover, Li Yuan shouldn't care about such a small matter.
"Eunuch Lin, what is Father's order?" Li Jiancheng asked.”
Eunuch Lin's expression did not change, but he replied,""Your Highness Xi Wang, His Majesty is kind and pities these refugees.”
"His Majesty said that giving out porridge can only solve the problem at hand, but it can't solve the problem in the future.”
"It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Therefore, His Majesty allowed the victims to work, and their wages were based on Chang 'an. They could not be deducted, so that they could live on their own and settle down around Chang' an.”
Fang Xuanling's gaze fell on the victims outside the city.
"Eunuch Lin, His Majesty is indeed concerned about the people, but the number of disaster victims is increasing day by day.”
"There is always a limit to the amount of work in Chang 'an. It is impossible for everyone to work and get paid.”
"Unless the Imperial Court hires them."
Eunuch Lin smiled and said," Minister Fang is indeed the Minister of Revenue. Your Majesty is thinking the same. Your Majesty has an iron mine outside the city."”
"We need manpower there. His Majesty said that the more the better.”
"Moreover, His Majesty has permitted these commoners to build houses outside the city. Before the construction is completed, the imperial court will provide them with porridge, and after they work, they will work to receive their wages.”
"In this way, they can survive in Chang 'an and live in peace.”
Eunuch Lin had already experienced the initial shock.
He looked at Li Jiancheng and Fang Xuanling's expressions.
He also smiled without saying anything.
Fang Xuanling was even more emotional than Li Jiancheng. Li Yuan had an iron mine outside the city?
Then why didn't he, the Minister of Revenue, know anything?
He couldn't have snatched the Zhangsun Clan's iron ore, right?
This was given to Li Yuan by Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji?
Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Li Shimin would have discussed such a major matter with him. He also said,"Eunuch Lin, since His Majesty has already made the arrangements.”
"Then my Ministry of Revenue will cooperate. It is His Highness Prince Xi who is in charge of disaster relief. We still need to pay more attention to it. After all, Hebei Province is the most important place.”
Li Jiancheng's expression slowly calmed down.
He looked at Fang Xuanling and said," Minister Fang, you're right. Father has asked me to help with the disaster relief. We don't lack money and food. We really need to hurry to Hebei Province."”
"There is no time to lose. Eunuch Lin, take me to the mine now.”
"This king will also see how to arrange the manpower.”
Eunuch Lin smiled and took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve. He handed it to Li Jiancheng and said,""Your Highness Xi King, His Majesty has already prepared the map of the mine.”
"Take a look and you'll know how big the area is and what the surrounding environment is like.”
"Moreover, when this servant came to find you, His Majesty's Black Armor Guards and Golden Guards had already entered the mountains to drive away the wild beasts, in case any wild beasts intruded and harmed the people.”
"However, after the construction of the houses for the people is completed, those wild beasts should also head deeper into the forest.”
Li Yuan had drawn a few blueprints on the road.
He casually outlined it.
The entire map of the mine was imprinted on paper.
The area, terrain, and even the location of the royal ironworks, as well as how many people could live there, were all recorded.
Li Jiancheng looked at the blueprint in his hand and could not help but swallow his saliva.
In his opinion, this blueprint was worth thousands of gold.
Not only did it explain the situation of the mine, but it also opened the door to a new world. He could also use it when he was in Hebei Province.
It was clear at a glance.
It was simple and clear.
It was many times stronger than the obscure words on those memorials.
Fang Xuanling found it even more inconceivable that it was marked with a royal iron-smelting factory. He had only seen the royal glass-making factory yesterday.
Another iron-smelting factory today?
How many more factories were His Majesty hiding from him?
The money used to build the factory was all Li Yuan's own?
There was no need for resources from the national treasury!
Fang Xuanling felt as if his world was about to collapse. In every dynasty, the country needed the national treasury to support the country's operations. Why was it Li Yuan?
It seemed that his own small treasury was far more powerful than the national treasury?
Fang Xuanling let out a sigh of relief. He had wanted to leave, but now he was planning to go with Li Jiancheng to take a look. After all, seeing was believing.
Li Jiancheng finished reading the information on the blueprint and said to Eunuch Lin,""Eunuch Lin, does Imperial Father have any other instructions?”
Eunuch Lin thought for a moment. Other than the fact that Li Yuan had ordered him to hide the fact that all the Humble Class disciples could study, Eunuch Lin had no other choice.
There seemed to be only one thing left.
He immediately said," His Majesty has ordered that the victims 'wages must not be delayed in the slightest. No one is allowed to profit from it. Those who violate it will be beheaded and punished!"”
Li Jiancheng nodded and said,""Indeed."
Fang Xuanling didn't retort.""King Xi, after you go to Hebei Province, I will help you supervise.”
Li Jiancheng cupped his hands at Fang Xuanling and walked up to the temporary platform.
He looked at the disaster victims and said,"Commoners, this king is His Majesty's eldest son, Li Jiancheng. He is also the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty to be in charge of disaster relief.”
"His Majesty cares about the people and loves them like his own children. Now, he is giving porridge to all the people in Chang 'an.”
"But His Majesty not only wants to give you a mouthful of food, but also wants to give you a stable job that can support your families.”
"Our Great Tang Kuangqu is currently lacking manpower. If you can bring your families with you, our Great Tang will help you rebuild your homes. Before you officially start mining, the Great Tang will be responsible for all your food and clothing.”
"And more importantly, your wages will be the same as the people of Chang 'an.”
"You can remember my face. If anyone dares to deduct your wages and bully you, I, Li Jiancheng, will kill them right here, right outside Chang 'an City!”
