Why did the imperial grandson dare to say anything? Wasn't he too bold? This was directly going against His Majesty!
They quickly tried to smooth things over." Young Master is afraid of heights. Were you scared when you went down from the roof just now?"”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger turned into worry.
The reason why his eldest grandson was spouting nonsense was probably because he was really scared out of his wits…
But at this time, Zhu Ci 'an looked like he was the only one who was sober and said,""Hey…why don't you believe me?”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but get angry again." Then tell me, Zhu Cian. How is this method harmful to the country?"”
"If you can't tell me why, don't say that I'll hit you with the soles of my shoes!”
Zhu Cian smiled and said slowly,""I won't talk about the first two of these four disaster relief measures.”
"The problem lies in the disaster victims!"
" The countermeasures are good, but the timing is not right. They can be used to govern Yunnan and Guizhou, but there is only one outcome for the disaster victims in the capital…"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed, his appetite was piqued. He quickly asked,"What result?"
Zhu Cian sneered and said his conclusion.
"Firstly, the imperial court has chosen a person with prestige to be the leader of the disaster victims. It won't be long before these people start to tyrannize over the disaster victims.”
"After all, they have the power to distribute food and the support of the Imperial Court. Wouldn't they be able to do whatever they want?”
"Secondly, these four strategies are flashy but impractical. The imperial court has consumed a lot of money and food. What else can they solve other than keeping the victims from starving to death?”
"This group of disaster victims can eat food without doing anything. In the long run, they will definitely become lazy!”
"Even if the imperial court pacified the flood in Henan Province, once they were sent back to their original places, how many people would be willing to go back to work and dig for food in the fields?”
"Fourth, it is easy for the people to revolt!"
"If the imperial court forcibly drives the disaster victims back to their homes, it will be difficult to change the laziness of these people. If the imperial court doesn't respond well, the disaster victims will easily become refugees or even bandits!”
"Fourth…"
At this moment, Zhu Ci 'an spoke frankly and pointed out more than a dozen drawbacks.
The entire main hall was silent!
Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded!
He originally thought that the ministers 'disaster relief plan was really great. But who would have thought that his grandson would directly pick out more than ten flaws!
And no matter which fault he had, he couldn't refute it. If he really issued the countermeasures of the ministers, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, would become a big joke!
On second thought, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a burning pain on his face.
He had been slapped in the face by his grandson!
His face was pale as he muttered,"" How could this be…It's clearly a good plan for the country…"
"If this plan cannot be implemented, how should the disaster victims be settled…"
" That's easy," Zhu Cian said with a smile." I have a good plan!"”
Boom!
Zhu Yuanzhang's head buzzed, as if he had grabbed onto the last straw to save his life. He hurriedly asked,"Zhu Cian, what is it? Tell Grandpa!”
Zhu Cian didn't keep her in suspense. He simply blurted out four words.
"Work as a form of relief!"
Work for relief?
Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head and his appetite was completely whetted. He quickly asked,"Zhu Ci 'an, why do you use work as a form of relief?”
Zhu Ci 'an smiled and said," It's very simple. The imperial court will pay the money and let the disaster victims work!"”
"This way, we can ensure that the disaster victims will not become lazy, and the Imperial Court will also receive some income. It can be said to be the best of both worlds!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's sleepy head was suddenly enlightened as if a bolt of lightning had struck it.
They could actually provide disaster relief like this?
In a flash, he thought of the method his grandson had used to deal with the disaster victims in Salt Mountain.
Not only did they give wages, but they also provided food. The victims worked to make salt. Wasn't this the epitome and true portrayal of work as a form of relief?
This method seemed to be much more brilliant than the four countermeasures he had discussed with the ministers!
But soon, his expression turned ugly again. He sighed and said,"Grandson, your method is good, but it's not the way of benevolence and righteousness.”
"Putting aside the fact that the current Emperor dotes on the people the most, even if he really used your method to relieve the disaster, countless disaster victims would spit on you.”
"Moreover, these disaster victims are short of food and clothing, and a large number of people have no food to eat. How can they have the strength to work?”
"Even if these people have the strength, there are still countless people in the capital who can't find work. Where can the Imperial Court place these disaster victims?”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart.
This grandson of his was very capable and had a good heart. However, he had yet to sympathize with the people's feelings and rashly made such a conclusion…
This was just a theory!
Ruling the country and the people was not a joke. Ruling the four hundred disaster victims of Yan Mountain and the disaster victims of the entire world was nothing compared to it.
However, Zhu Cian did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all. Instead, he gave a thumbs up."Old man, I couldn't tell. Your heart is a little black, but your judgment isn't bad!”
"It's a pity not to be an official!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him angrily. Nonsense, if your grandfather didn't have such foresight, how could he be the emperor?
Forget it. After all, this child had never dealt with political affairs since he came back to life in the coffin. It was already very rare for him to have such an understanding.
Or is it my fault for asking too much of my grandson? Why should I be angry?
Just as he was about to earnestly teach his grandson, Zhu Cian asked again,""Old man, is the official you know high in rank?”
"Zhu Cian, why are you asking this?”
"Don't worry about it. Tell me first, does he have a high position?”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. In his early years, he had fought the world with His Majesty and had a life-and-death friendship. Otherwise, he would have begged His Majesty to give him a plaque for Hongwu Salt!”
The Liao brothers were secretly amazed. As expected of His Majesty. He didn't even blush or jump when fooling his grandson.
Zhu Cian laughed and slapped his thigh.""That's easy. The disaster victims have a place to go!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.”
" Old man," Zhu Cian said with a smile," didn't you want to make a fortune from the national disaster? It just so happens that our chance to make a fortune has come!"”
"I remember that there is an iron mine near our Yingtian Prefecture. As for the fact that no one has mined it yet!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked!
What?
Iron ore?
That was a national weapon!
" Zhu Ci 'an, don't try to fool me," he asked, dumbfounded." There are still unexploited iron mines in Yingtian Prefecture?" Where is it?"
"Meishan!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head and said,""I remember that it was a barren mountain. A few years ago, after Hanlin Huang Shi accompanied him to study in the Eastern Palace, His Majesty gave him Meishan because he had made great contributions by teaching his grandson, Zhu Yunwen.”
Huang Shi?
Zhu Ci 'an frowned slightly. It was a good iron mine, but it was in the hands of this old guy. What a waste!
He still had a grudge with this guy. If he went to buy Meishan, he would definitely ask for an exorbitant price. This would be a little troublesome.
But soon, a sly smile appeared on his face.""Since that's the case, I'll go to Huang Shi's residence and buy Meishan.”
"As for whether or not there is an iron mine, old man, invite a few people who know the industry over.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said with a smile,""Good, good, good!"
If it was really as his grandson said, that there was an iron mine in Meishan, that would be great!
With the iron mine, your grandson's work relief is a strategy for the country. It will allow me to show my strength. Not only will I solve the problem of the disaster victims, but I will also increase the benefits of iron for the imperial court!
I've wronged Eldest Sun!
Our eldest grandson is wise!
"Zhu Ci 'an, buy Meishan as soon as possible. If Huang Shi doesn't agree, we'll talk to him personally.”
"We have to immediately report to the Heavenly Mansion and get the Salt and Iron Transportation Company for you.”
He had to hurry back to the palace and gather the ministers to discuss the feasibility of using work as a form of relief.
