After leaving the Da 'an Palace, Zhu Cixuan took two deep breaths to calm his restless heart.
"Eunuch Cao, starting from next month, all expenses of the Great Peace Palace will be doubled!”
"Moreover, as long as the High Emperor and the Empress Dowager do not leave the palace, they can go anywhere they want!”
In any case, everyone in the palace was basically his own people. As long as they did not leave the palace, there should not be any trouble.
This trip to Da 'an Palace had allowed him to experience a kinship that he had never experienced before. He had given them more space to move around. It could be considered as some comfort and reward for these nominal relatives of his!
"Understood!"
Cao Zhengchun immediately went down to give his orders. The men of sacrifice outside the Great Peace Palace nodded.
By the time Zhu Cixuan returned to the royal study, it was already sunset.
The seven or eight ministers had already finished reading the memorials. They had dealt with everything they could.
He was respectfully waiting for Zhu Cixuan to return and report his work.
"Dear ministers, are there any thorny problems in these memorials that need me to personally decide?”
"Reporting to the emperor, this minister has something to report!”
Hu Weiyong was the first to stand up and said,"Your Majesty, the Great Ming Dynasty has been suffering from drought, locust plagues, and rat plague for many years. When the raiders left, they took most of the food with them. Now, the lost land that has just been recovered has already begun to suffer from famine…"
"How much food do we need? Just say it!"
Zhu Cixuan asked seriously.
During the Little Ice Age at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the grain harvests in all parts of the country were not good!
"30,000,000 stones is enough to get us through this crisis!”
3,000,000 stones?
Hearing this number, Zhu Cixuan felt relieved.
He had thought that it would take a lot!
3,000,000 stones, only 300 National Luck Points!
After conquering those cities, he already had close to 500 National Luck Points!
"I will give you 5000,000 stones, and Minister Hu will be fully responsible for this matter! Tomorrow morning, go to the national treasury granary. There will naturally be food prepared by then!”
"I only have one request. These food for disaster relief must not fall into the mouths of corrupt officials!”
Zhu Cixuan's tone was solemn as he recalled the disaster relief plot in the granary.
How much of the food would be distributed to the victims?
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixuan ordered Cao Zhengchun to call for the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Li Zhen, and prepare to send out 3000 Embroidered Uniform Guards to supervise the distribution of food in the famine areas.
He absolutely trusted Hu Weiyong, but he did not trust those local officials!
"If any officials are found to have embezzled the food for disaster relief, they will be executed on the spot!”
As soon as Zhu Cixuan finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng stood up and said,"Your Majesty, I have something to add!”
"The imperial court can only treat the symptoms by distributing food for disaster relief, not the root of the problem!”
"Although the best time for spring plowing has passed, if we can replant some food and use work as relief, we can mobilize the disaster victims to dig pits in the fields that have been abandoned because of the war. It can greatly increase the harvest of the autumn harvest and reduce the disaster in the coming year!”
Zhu Cixuan's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Juzheng's words.
Even though it would not solve the current predicament, it would be much better next year!
It was indeed a good idea!
"Yes! Minister Hu, I'll leave these matters to you to organize!”
Food was related to the foundation of the country. This was a big matter!
However, Zhu Cixuan was still at ease when Hu Weiyong handled things!
After all, this was the death warrior version of Hu Weiyong. Not only was he capable, but he also wouldn't slack off!
Zhu Cixuan announced the appointment procedures.
Hu Weiyong was appointed as the imperial envoy for disaster relief, and Li Zhen was appointed as the supervisor.
"We will do our best to do this matter well!”
Hu Weiyong and Li Zhen accepted the order and left.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"The Jiangnan area has been dragging down our Great Ming Dynasty!" Yu Qian bowed and continued. The Donglin Party has formed a clique for personal gain and monopolized power. I am willing to personally go to the Jiangnan area to eliminate this tumor!”
"Good! I had this intention long ago! It was just that he had never found a suitable candidate! Since my beloved minister is willing to go, I wish you success!”
"Just tell me how many troops I need to send you!”
Zhu Cixuan's face was full of joy.
"3000 Embroidered Uniform Guards and Lord Fang Xiaoru are enough. If we don't eliminate the Donglin Party within a month, I apologize for bringing my head to see you!”
Yu Qian knelt heavily on the ground and made a military pledge!
"Good! Fang Xiaoru, you've studied Confucian literature. It's just right for you to deal with these sour Confucians from the Donglin Party! Follow Lord Yu to the south!"
"This lowly subject obeys the decree!"
Zhu Cixuan had chosen Fang Xiaoru for this purpose!
This person was originally the most loyal guardian of the scholarly faction, a pedantic scholar. However, after becoming a death warrior, Zhu Cixuan could use the pedantic scholar to deal with the pedantic scholar!
……
……
After that, the remaining few famous officials also raised some questions. These questions covered the people's livelihood, economy, culture, and other fields.
Zhu Cixuan relied on his experience as a transmigrator to deal with them one by one.
While the ministers were shocked, they also shouted,"The emperor is truly a god!"
Towards the end, Zhu Cixuan announced a new rule. This rule almost made all the officials in the capital light firecrackers to celebrate.
Because the morning court session had been changed! It was changed to eight in the morning!
The morning court of the Ming Dynasty.
Ministers had to get up at midnight and travel across half of the capital to the Meridian Gate. At three o'clock in the morning, the minister arrived at the noon gate and waited.
This tradition that had lasted for hundreds of years was changed by Zhu Cixuan's imperial edict!
Even some of the old pedants were secretly praising Zhu Cixuan in their hearts while shouting that it was not in line with etiquette!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I can finally sleep well! Bashi!"
