Chapter 411: Rescue
Although General Chang supported Lin Zhu's approach, he also had to discuss it carefully with the emperor in order to complete this matter more completely. If there is a loophole in one of the links, then as the first person to propose, Lin Zhu will definitely receive a lot of criticism.
According to common sense, General Chang is the emperor's father-in-law, and Concubine Lan has added a new prince to the emperor, and the relationship with the emperor is even closer. But General Chang has always adhered to the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, and there is still no way to be courteous to the emperor.
Therefore, the emperor has always respected General Chang very much. When he heard what General Chang said, he was first shocked, and then heard that Lin Zhu proposed it first, so he couldn't help but ponder.
Regarding Lin Zhu, the emperor first paid attention to her because of Mu Qiyue, with such a special white rice, and made a lot of good things, plus the fact that Concubine Lan was pregnant later seemed to have her shadow. Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor, Lin Zhu is also a very smart and even very capable person.
In addition, Mu Qiyue has an unusual friendship with Lin Zhu, and the emperor is also happy to see this matter come to fruition, if it weren't for Lin Zhu's identity being easy to criticize with others, and some royal relatives who were worried about his mistakes and wanted to see his jokes, he would have decreed that Mu Qiyue's good deeds would have been fulfilled.
Therefore, the emperor thought carefully about the method of exchanging work for food that Lin Zhu had thought, and he thought that it was completely feasible, and maybe there would be a good story.
Moreover, Lin Zhu has made preparations in advance, and has prepared a lot of food stocks, coupled with his support, as long as he guards against some villains who forget their righteousness, it is not difficult to succeed.
Therefore, the emperor asked General Chang to do it boldly and boldly, and everything was backed by him.
Since the emperor also agreed. General Chang didn't have any worries, and the emperor's words meant something extraordinary. If this thing is done beautifully, then the benefits of forest bamboo must be indispensable. Perhaps, her identity is no longer an obstacle to her relationship with Mu Qiyue.
"Thanks, grandpa. Makes you bothered. Looking at General Chang, who was running around for his own business, Lin Zhu was very moved.
"It's nothing." General Chang waved his hand, "Let Chang Yi wait for you to help you do it, this matter, you must do everything in detail, and don't let people find out the slightest mistake." General Chang told Lin Zhu carefully. The words also brought out that this was the emperor's meaning.
After listening to this, Lin Zhu also had a bottom in his heart, and he took the lead in making an appearance here, so that the emperor could learn from it, and maybe it would make the emperor's prestige even greater.
So, Lin Zhu instructed Feng Yuanbo and Chang Shi to take the lead and start looking for those displaced people who were willing to exchange work for food.
At first, many people didn't understand why Lin Zhu did this, and they all thought that she was doing too much, and it was not a good deed at all.
And the intervention of General Chang's Mansion did not make people's approach to Lin Zhu recognized by those powerful people in the capital, and more people thought that she was grandstanding. Everyone was watching, waiting to see her jokes.
"Are things going well?" Lin Zhu didn't take her doubts to heart outside, but discussed with Chang Shi and Feng Yuanbo at home. Matters relating to the recruitment of displaced persons.
"According to the girl's requirements, the people we are looking for are all innocent, and the people they sponsor have also found out their origins." Chang Shi and Feng Yuanbo both had the situation of the displaced people recruited by sorting out. There is also the situation of how he is placed, and he shows it to Lin Zhu while talking.
"Uncle Ten. Just look at the arrangement. Lin Zhu waved his hand and did not take the information. Grandpa's uncle will also help, as long as you are careful not to let these homeless people be bewitched by some people with ulterior motives. The most important thing is smoothness. ”
Lin Zhu knew that it was just the beginning and had not seen results, so no one had come to make trouble for her, and it was because of General Chang's deterrence, so it had been going well.
However, this did not put Lin Zhu at ease. As long as you use your own grain to hire displaced people, if you develop in a good place, you will definitely attract the attention of all parties.
As long as they can get through this difficulty, many people still want to return to their hometowns, so they can only be hired. But other people are not as open-minded as Lin Zhu, who gave him some food, and hated to let his whole life be used for himself, so these exiles who were still free became slaves.
Once there is a slave status, there is no day to turn over. You can't become a good citizen within three generations, let alone want your descendants to study and get ahead. One generation is slave, and one generation is slave.
Lin Zhu believes that his way of doing this is tantamount to sending carbon in the snow for those who are forced to come out of their hometown to find a way to live.
For this reason, Lin Zhu had to meet with Chang Shi and Feng Yuanbo every day to listen to them talk about the progress of the matter, and fortunately, when General Chang asked her, she had first-hand information.
Speaking of which, Feng Yuanbo and Chang Shi are both very capable people, and the recruitment of homeless people has also been done very smoothly, and the first hundred people recruited have already been sent to work in the newly bought grange that Lin Zhu bought before.
The newly bought grange has to carry out a series of irrigation projects, although Mr. Du and Du Bin got some manpower from the Ministry of Industry early in the morning to help measure and design the details of the project, but at that time Lin Zhu was not enough manpower here, but now it is good, there are finally enough people to do it.
Although the price of grain is soaring every day, Lin Zhu has a lot of food in his hands, and it is not difficult to supply the workers with three meals a day.
Everyone who was recruited was full of gratitude to Lin Zhu. At that time, there was really no way, so I had the courage to agree to this seemingly unintentional thing of substituting work for food. At that time, no one expected that the proprietor would actually do what he said, not only to eat every day, but also to provide a place to live, although a little simple, but much better than sleeping on the street.
Within a month, Lin Zhu's new grange had changed. Not only did General Chang send people to check, but even the emperor secretly sent people to guard day and night.
Not only the grange, but also the five hundred people recruited by Feng Yuanbo and Chang Shi later, the grange of General Chang's family was also very well managed, even if the fields that were not good before, they were also renovated into good fields for drought and flood protection.
Moreover, Lin Zhu also suggested to General Chang that if these people were sent by the government to build some city walls, or roads, they would definitely receive very good results.
In fact, the changes in Lin Zhu Grange alone are already very shocking in the eyes of some experts. They all rely on the sky to eat, but no one can control the pulse of the sky, and who knows when it will stop raining. With water storage canals like the one in the forest and bamboo grange, and those ditches, even in a drought like this year, you can survive it.
Therefore, some people who feel that they can get in touch with General Chang's Mansion come to the General's Mansion. In and out of the words, they all want to get the recipe for the Grange to build a ditch.
Whether it was General Chang or Lin Zhu, neither of them hid their secrets, and told all the methods to the people who came to inquire. As long as they are willing to send people, the people of the General's Mansion will definitely teach their methods to the people who come.
As a result, many people returned satisfied. By the way, those also reciprocated the favor, and within their ability, they also recruited many homeless people to work. It has greatly reduced the pressure on the resettlement of displaced people in the capital.
Through such an operation, the emperor became more confident in the method proposed by Lin Zhu. Although there were still some objections from the court, the emperor still asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to arrange to recruit displaced people and do some construction projects needed in the capital.
However, the emperor also sent henchmen to intersperse these people. After all, Lin Zhu had already reminded that the distribution of food was a major event, and no one could be allowed to do anything inside. If someone wants to enrich themselves, it will not damage the majesty of the emperor. This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen.
Although Lin Zhu is prepared in all aspects, she can't interfere in other people's affairs except for her own family, so some things about deducting grain or sending some inferior food also happen from time to time.
But rumors are always spreading very quickly, so as long as something happens to one family, it is always known to everyone quickly. It was a good thing, but it didn't do it good. It really makes some people feel disgraced. So after rectifying a lot of people who worked on this, everything went for the better. (To be continued......)
