The two of them had different understandings of the word "human" in "Man can conquer nature".
Zhu Gaochi referred to the individual, while Zhu Le referred to the entire human race.。
Indeed.
In the face of natural and man-made disasters, one's personal strength was negligible. One could only sigh at the sky and be powerless.
However, the entire human race was different.
Throughout the ages, natural disasters and man-made disasters had never stopped, but humans had continued to exist. As technology advanced, the impact of these disasters gradually decreased.
Zhu Le did not argue with Zhu Gaochi.
After all, their knowledge and understanding were not on the same level.
"The drought in Shandong has caused starving people to die everywhere. The commoners are going to suffer." Zhu Gaochi sighed again.
"Jiangnan Tianhua?" Zhu Le frowned.
He had never heard of this before!
Actually, thinking about it, it made sense.
He was in the courtyard every day. Although he paid attention to the important matters of the court, the information he had was still limited.
"The smallflower incident is recent news, and the Imperial Court has a way to deal with it. What worries me is the drought in Shandong and the refugees.”Zhu Gaochi spoke again.
Although smalllessness was highly contagious and fatal, it was still a rare disease.
However, at this time, there was already a "human acne" solution. Although it could not quickly stop the epidemic, there was no problem in controlling it.
On the other hand, the famine in Shandong showed signs of expanding.
Since ancient times, the south had been rich, while the north had suffered from famine.
If it was any other time, the imperial court could mobilize grain and money from the south for disaster relief while opening the granaries.
The south was unable to attend to this matter, so things became a little tricky.
After understanding this, Zhu Le sized up Zhu Gaochi.
He knew about these things in detail, which proved that this person was not a big shot, but a high official of the current dynasty! Moreover, its grade was definitely not low!
"What countermeasures does the court have?" Zhu Le asked again.
"His Majesty is worried and hasn't eaten for many days. Although the cabinet scholars had countermeasures, they could not cook without rice. The national treasury was empty, and everything was empty talk.”Zhu Gaochi shook his head.
Zhu Le suddenly understood.
No wonder Old Man Ma hadn't been to his place recently. He really couldn't leave.
After a moment of hesitation.
He paused the serving of porridge and invited Zhu Gaochi to discuss it further.
Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded.
But after thinking about it, the porridge distribution was coming to an end. After leaving the porridge distribution to his wife, he went to a remote place with Zhu Le.
What was worth mentioning was…
During this period, many people wanted to follow him, but he raised his hand to stop them.
"I have three ways to resolve this famine.”Zhu Le said bluntly.
"Oh?"
Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows.
A young man who had just passed his prime had a plan to deal with famine?
Although he felt that it was unrealistic, he still chose to listen attentively.
This was the difference between the Crown Prince and the King of Han.
If it was Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, he would definitely leave after a round of ridicule. Furthermore, he might even reward Zhu Le with a few whips.
"I hope to pass this plan to an official surnamed Ma in the current dynasty through your mouth. This person's rank is not low and he's over 50 years old.”Zhu Le continued.
An official with the surname Ma? Not low grade?
Zhu Gaochi narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
When he mentioned the surname Ma, the first person he thought of was Zheng He.
After all, Zheng He's original name was Ma Sanbao.
However, due to the difference in age, he was naturally excluded.
Immediately after, Zhu Gaochi thought of another person.
The Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Ma Jing!
Ma Jing was over fifty years old and had reached the third rank, which was exactly what Zhu Le had said.
Could this person be Ma Jing's grandson?
Zhu Gaochi's favorable impression of Zhu Le rose once again as he sized him up.
After all, Ma Jing was a famous prince!
"Good!" Zhu Gaochi immediately agreed.
Seeing him agree so readily, Zhu Le hesitated for a moment.
As for the strategy to deal with the famine, he originally wanted to personally inform Old Man Ma so that the latter could make some contributions.
But he couldn't see her! Who knew if the person in front of him would take all the credit for himself?
Helplessly, there was no other way.
Zhu Le couldn't just watch as the famine spread and the people became homeless, right?
As if he had seen through his thoughts, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said,""Kid, don't worry. I have a deep relationship with Ma Jing. I won't let our friendship be ruined just because of some contributions.”
So Old Man Ma was called Ma Jing?
Zhu Le originally did not want to delve into Old Man Ma's identity, but at this moment, he could not suppress the curiosity in his heart.
"Who knows if you're telling the truth?”
This made Zhu Gaochi speechless.
It was still unknown whether the strategy to deal with the disaster was effective. But this person was guarding against him like a thief?
If not for the fact that Zhu Le was Ma Jing's grandson, no matter how good Zhu Gaochi's personality was, he would have left with a flick of his sleeves.
"Ma Jing, also known as Zigao, fifty-eight years old.”
"He was a scholar during the Hongwu period and was awarded the title of Imperial Academy Editor. He was previously Zuo Tongzheng, Dali Qing, and is now the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice.”
"He has a straightforward personality and is the same as he appears. He is sincere to others, and he is sincere in helping others. After a long time, he is more and more loyal, and he is deeply relied on by the prince.”
"Ma Jing has two sons. They are quite talented and are both scholars of the Imperial Academy.”
"Am I right or wrong?”
Zhu Gaochi blurted out.
He naturally knew about his subordinates, and at the same time, he wanted to use these words to tell Zhu Le.
Ma Jing was heavily relied on by the Crown Prince, so he naturally would not offend him just because of some merit.
Let's talk about Zhu Le again.
After listening to the information, he instantly confirmed that this Ma Jing was definitely Old Man Ma!
Putting aside his background and resume.
Ma Jing had two sons. This was completely in line with what Old Man Ma told him last time about the two sons being incompatible like fire and water!
Only now did Zhu Le understand.
No wonder Old Man Ma and Ma Ji were so concerned about the royal family.
It turned out that both of them were hardcore princelings!
"Cough!"
After coughing lightly and straightening his expression, Zhu Le spoke with assurance,
"Famine in Shandong, refugees everywhere."
"In my opinion, disaster relief should be divided into three steps.”
"First, set up checkpoints along the way to stop the refugees from going south.”
"Second, call on merchants and rich gentry to donate money, set up porridge distribution points, and guide the people north to Shuntian!”
"The third step is also the most important."
"You need to report to His Majesty to speed up the matter of moving the capital!”
