Chapter 200; Trust?

In addition to digging reservoirs, you can also take advantage of the current drought and the drop in river water levels to organize people to dredge, or build river dams, etc.

Anyway, it is to find some work for the victims, and to provide money and food from the court, which can not only provide disaster relief, but also prepare for the future.

As Wen Songtao finished explaining the details of how to provide relief through work, many civil and military ministers in the main hall nodded inwardly.

This method is very good. Not only can it provide disaster relief, but it can also help the court. At the same time, it also provides work. The victims will have money in their hands. After the famine, their lives will be somewhat secure.

Of course, the most important point is that the famine at this time is very serious. If you want to plant food in the ground again, it will take at least several months to see results.

So in the past few months, how would the more than one million victims survive if they only relied on the small amount of money and food provided as usual?

If there is no food, will they flock to major cities and the capital again?

Even if it gets serious, it can trigger civil unrest.

At that time, the court will be even more troublesome.

"Wenqing family, this method is good, what do you think?"

Emperor Hongwen was very satisfied with what Wen Songtao said. Although it might cost more money and food than usual for disaster relief, the rewards were not small.

Let's just say that the reservoirs can store water when there is abundant rain. If there is a drought in the future, the water in these reservoirs will play a big role.

In addition, the rivers were dredged and dams were built. Every year before the rainy season, the court would allocate a large sum of money.

Now if you really do the math according to this method, you might be able to save a lot.

This method can solve many problems and prevent many possible problems.

The ministers below can still express their objections at this time. This work-for-relief program will indeed have many benefits and is a good idea.

Gao Yanming also had nothing to say. Seeing that he acquiesced, all the ministers naturally agreed.

"In that case, let's do what the Wenqing family says."

“But we must clearly explain the benefits of doing so to the victims.”

After the disbandment of the dynasty, Emperor Hongwen summoned many important ministers to discuss the specific implementation.

In the harem.

Queen Wang already knows what happened at the court this morning.

His brows knitted together.

"Mother, what do you think my father's plans are regarding the commander of the Left Imperial Guard?"

The eldest prince was a little confused about his father's operation this time.

He knew that the position of commander-in-chief of the left wing of the Imperial Guard had been filled by people recommended by the Zhenguo Duke or the Zhenguo Duke since his father ascended the throne.

It has become a common practice, but this time when Emperor Hongwen made the recommendation to Duke Zhen Guo, he actually did not accept it.

"You can't think of it?"

Queen Wang asked back.

The eldest prince frowned and thought deeply.

It's not that he didn't expect it, he was just a little confused, or couldn't figure out how such a good person could be like this.

He had great trust in Zhen Guogong, his ancestral family, and Queen Wang had been telling him since he was a child that Zhen Guogong and his family could be completely trusted.

And Emperor Hongwen has always been like this. Over time, he naturally has great trust in Zhenguo Gongfu.

I think the same is true for my father.

But this time it's different.

When he saw this scene in the court, his first reaction was that his father was dissatisfied with the commotion caused by the Zhenguo Palace in the capital.

But then, he felt something was wrong. Although there was a lot of commotion in Zhenguo Palace this time, it was basically because of Wang Yu's attack. There was a reason for the incident.

His father had previously said that the person who attacked Wang Yu must be found, and he was also very dissatisfied with the attack on a prince of the country in the capital.

It was considered a tacit action by the Zhen Guo Gong government. He should not be dissatisfied with the Zhen Guo Gong just because of a few impeachments.

There must be something else going on here.

"Do you know why you haven't been made the prince yet?"

As soon as Queen Wang said these words, an idea flashed in the eldest prince's mind, and he immediately showed a look of astonishment.

So it turns out that this is to weaken the Zhenguo government.

"But why did my father do this? Doesn't he trust his uncle very much?"

Hearing this, the corners of Queen Wang's lips traced a hint of sarcasm.

trust?

How can you trust?

It's just because there is no other way.

"Your Majesty, your father trusts your uncle, but at the same time he is also afraid of your uncle, and he is even afraid of you."

"As long as your uncle's power is not weak, your father may not make you the crown prince. He may even never think of making you the crown prince at all."

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment. It was understandable that the Zhenguo Palace would not confer him a title because of its great power. After all, he was now an adult and his father was still young. Now he went up and there was such strong support behind him.

It was indeed a big threat to his father.

But why do you say you haven’t thought about it at all?

He is a direct descendant of the royal family, and he is also the eldest son.

Whether it is to establish a direct descendant or an elder, he is the well-deserved first choice.

"Mother, you must have lied to me. My son is your eldest son."

He knew that his mother would not say such words without any reason, and this was certainly very possible.

If the father really has no such idea, what should he do?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and panic.

Sensing the panic in his tone, Queen Wang turned to look at him with an endearing smile and said, "Don't be afraid, this throne must be yours. The Queen Mother will never allow anyone to take your place."

When she said this, her tone was cold and firm.

"Idiot, look at what you did?"

Duke Zhen Guo was very unhappy at this early morning meeting. He returned home from the next day and rushed directly to Wang Yu's yard without stopping for a moment.

Pointing at Wang Yu, who was lying in bed in despair, he cursed loudly.

In his opinion, what happened this time was Wang Yu's fault.

Isn't it good to just stay at home? If you have to go out and go to the boat, if you don't go to the boat, you won't be attacked.

Nor will it be abolished.

If Wang Yu had not been deposed, he would not have had to worry about another heir, and he would not have lost control of the Imperial Guard.

His Majesty did not say anything today, so he knew that His Majesty was going to take back the power of the Imperial Guard.

Wang Yu, who was lying on the bed, didn't look back, didn't react at all, and didn't even listen to what Duke Zhen Guo said.

Now his mind is filled with thoughts about what he should do in the future after he becomes a useless person.

The Duke of Zhen Guo scolded Wang Yu for a long time, but when he saw that Wang Yu had no reaction at all, he became even more angry. He stepped forward, grabbed Wang Yu, and started to beat him.

Upon hearing the commotion, the Duke's wife rushed into the room, cried and rushed forward to protect Wang Yu, and at the same time begged the Duke for mercy.

"A loving mother often loses her son. Look at him. If you hadn't been spoiling him, what would he be like?"

Seeing his wife, the Duke of Zhen was furious again, but he did not take action.
