The meaning of life is that you never know what will happen in the next second, so every step forward, people will think, but such as Zhu Yihua, from the moment he took office, his life was already doomed, good and bad, right and wrong, there is not much meaning to them.

The same goes for pigs.

"But the prince is not yet a vassal." Guo Dan said slowly.

Zhu Yihua couldn't help but tilt his head to look at Guo Dan.

Guo smiled lightly: "I went to Weihui Mansion this time, the main purpose is to clear the grievances of the prince, I now have a trick, which can make the prince turn the tide, gain fame and fortune, and live happily outside for a few more years." ”

When Zhu Yihua heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Hurry up." ”

Guo Dan said: "Actually, it's very simple, Zhu Yihua only needs to rent the Luwang Mansion to the merchants, and all the problems will be solved." ”

"What did you say?"

Zhu Yihua said excitedly: "Are you crazy to rent this king's mansion to a merchant?" ”

"Don't get excited, and listen to me."

Guo Dan pressed his hand, and said with a smile: "The root cause of all this is Luwangfu, the root of this disease is also here, if you don't start from here, any method will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause." We have already talked before, let the merchants go to the local area to invest in the workshop, so as to save the finances of the Weihui Mansion, if the prince is willing to take out the Lu Palace, he can get twice the result with half the effort, and count it in one fell swoop. ”

Zhu Yihua squinted and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "First of all, make profits, rent out the Luwang Mansion, and you can get a generous rent every year, and these rents can be used to build the Luwang Mansion."

Secondly, to get free, the rent is not paid every ten years, but once a quarter, then the speed of building the Lu Wangfu will naturally slow down, the Lu Wangfu has not been completed, and the prince is naturally not in a hurry to take the domain, if the minister urges the court, the prince will ask the court to allocate money, and they naturally dare not say much.

In the end, the name, although we can put the blame on those magistrates, but the people don't think so, if the prince wants to really save his reputation, quibbling is not as effective as sincere repentance.

Merchants invest in workshops, and it is the people who really do things in it, and the people get a livelihood because of this, and the prince has not used the Lu Wangfu, and then the Lu Wangfu is built for whom, but it is not clear, the prince not only did not let the people pay the money to build the Lu Wangfu, but rented the Lu Wangfu to the people, which is not to take it from the people, use it for the people, and it is also the most sincere performance. ”

Zhu Yihua's face was entangled when he heard this, and he said: "But this King has never lived in this Luwang Mansion, how can he ......." ”

Guo Dan said: "Does the prince really want to live inside?" No matter how good the mansion is, if you live in it for ten years, you will always get bored, where there is a happy outside, such as this small mansion. ”

Zhu Yihua scratched his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Come on, come on, fight the landlord, fight the landlord, this king wants to turn over the book." ”

Guo Dan smiled: "Go and wake up the little uncle." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard a snap and a moan from outside the house.

Guo Dan and Zhu Yihua got up at the same time and came to the door, only to see Xu Jirong scratching his face, and a red five-finger print on his right cheek.

"Xiaojie, who hit you?"

Zhu Yihua was surprised.

Xu Jirong rubbed his eyes and said, "No... Nobody, I hit it myself, there are mosquitoes. ”

Beat yourself so hard, this guy really has a bright future! Guo Dan couldn't help but feel deep admiration.

.....

As the saying goes, once you are in a fight, then you will rest, and then you will decline.

When Guo Dan's convoy had just arrived in Zhangde Mansion, the entire Henan Province was full of indignation, from the prefect to the Li Min, all of whom opposed Guo Dan's entry into Weihui Mansion.

Even the people of this daimyo's mansion were full of anger and hostility to this decision of the imperial court, because public opinion was in the hands of the literati, and they told the people that the reason why the imperial court did not dare to appoint officials to come was that they did not want to hold King Lu responsible.

Because smart people know that the people of this whole area do not want King Lu to come to Weihui Mansion, and they all hope that the court will hold King Lu responsible, because if King Lu is severely punished, or even abolished King Lu, it will really be celebrated by the whole world.

The people are not stopping Guo Dan, but stopping King Lu, which is related to their vital interests.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and Guo Dan's convoy doesn't know where to go.

The scholar who was holding his stomach full of anger couldn't find a place to vent.

The entire Henan Province suddenly fell into a daze.

Especially Weihui Mansion.

The local people are not only at a loss, they are simply at a loss.

After Guo Dan set off, they were solemn and thought of all kinds of tricks to deal with Guo Dan, who knew that Guo Dan was so vulnerable that he didn't even enter Zhangde Mansion, they could have thought that this would be the case.

Ridiculously, this stopped, but it was embarrassing.

Because there is no government here, Guo Dan, who took over here, doesn't know which one to go to in Shanxi.

What's even worse is that they patronized and organized the people to oppose Guo Dan, thus ignoring that this is the sowing season, and God has never favored this place in recent years, it is a perennial lack of rain, and if they don't concentrate on taking care of the fields, it will be even worse.

Previously, because of the construction of Luwang Mansion, many counties in Weihui Mansion have collapsed financially, and bankrupt farmers are everywhere.

The ancients said that the people took food as the sky.

And not etiquette.

Etiquette can't be eaten as a meal!

There is no government, let alone charity, and there is no place to find a place to ask for almsgiving.

Among them, the most serious situation is Ji County, because the Luwang Mansion was built here, and the people here have long been hollowed out, and many people have starved to death within a month.

In the ancient political system, the grassroots management was not the county, but those squires and big landlords, who were the most basic managers, and the government was withdrawn, and the responsibility naturally fell on them.

In addition to Luwangfu, the largest scale of this Ji County is located in the east of Ji County, the manor of the old Liang family.

Today, the big landowners of Ji County have come to the Liang family compound.

Liang Kui, the head of the family, said: "Everyone, it seems that this year, like previous years, is another year of poor harvest, most of the people in Ji County have no surplus food at home, this is not a way to go on for a long time, and now the government has withdrawn, we have to quickly find a way to deal with it." ”

One person said: "Brother Liang meant, don't you want us to take food out for relief?" ”

Liang Kui nodded and said, "If there is really no way, then we can only do this, I mean, we will each take out two hundred stone of grain for the time being to help the people." ”

One person smiled and said: "Two hundred stones of grain is just a drop in the bucket for Brother Liang, but for our He family, it is a lot, I suggest that whoever has more fields should take more grain." ”

"You can't say that, if the wind and rain are good every year, then it's okay, but now the crops are not harvested every year, and no one has a good time, and two hundred stones is a sum for anyone."

"It's reasonable, no one's life is having a good time, everyone has to do what they can, my family can't get so much food, won't I eat it?"

I saw an old man with white hair and said: "Don't fight anymore, now this situation is all because of the Nalu Palace, this is the responsibility of the imperial court, why should we bear it." ”

This old man's surname is Xue, and he is a big landlord in Ji County, and He Zhiyan is his son-in-law.

"The tooth merchant sent by the imperial court doesn't know where to go now?"

"I heard that I went to Shanxi, but I don't know if I got lost."

Xue Lao waved his hand again and said: "Don't mention the tooth merchant, if he comes, I'm afraid it will be worse than now, I guess the tooth merchant doesn't even know a few big characters, we can't count on him, I mean, we have to hurry up to the imperial court, ask the imperial court to appoint officials to come, and at the same time transport grain from Hejian, Daimyo, and Kaifeng to come for relief." ”

Everyone listened and whispered while nodding in agreement.

Liang Kui saw that everyone agreed, so he nodded and said: "Since everyone is in favor of doing this, then hurry up and go to the court, this matter can't wait any longer, in addition, we still take some food out to help, everyone does what they can." ”

"Brother Liang, this help is not a long-term solution, one day is one day, but what will I do tomorrow?"

"That's right, I don't know what the future holds, and we have to leave some food to get through this."

"Now the entire Weihui Mansion is short of food, if we take in the help, the people of other counties will come to us, and there are many refugees, it is easy to change."

In short, in short, it is impossible to take out the grain.

In fact, for these big landowners, natural disasters also contain great benefits, and the people have no food to eat, so they can only sell their land, their wives and daughters, and this is a good time to annex land.

The only thing they were willing to give out was a horse, sending an urgent letter to the capital for help.

.....

East Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent letter from Wei Hui's Mansion just now, the situation over there is already very serious, if the imperial court does not send food relief, I am afraid that it will cause a civil uprising."

Shen Shixing anxiously reported to Wan Liyu.

Wanli was furious when he heard this: "How can this be true, didn't Guo Dan say that he could solve the problem as soon as he went?" Counting the days, he should have arrived at Weihui Mansion a long time ago, why the problem was not solved, but sent an urgent letter, immediately passed on my will, took Guo Dan down, and escorted him back to Jingshi to ask for the guilt. ”

Wang Jiaping hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, as far as the minister knows, Guo Dan... Guo Dan has not yet arrived at Weihui Mansion. ”

Wanli said: "How is this possible, from Jingshi to Weihui Mansion, it will not be available for a few days, it has been almost two months, and Nanjing has arrived." ”

The ministers looked at each other.

Wanli frowned and said, "Could it be an accident?" ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said: "There was a little accident, when Guo Dan passed through Zhangde Mansion, he encountered local scholars blocking the road and scolding, Guo Dan in order to avoid conflict with them, so he went west to detour, it is said that he went around to Shanxi, and now... Now it is gone. ”

Wanli was stunned and wondered: "Why do those scholars block the road and scold, Guo Dan is going to Weihui Mansion again, what does it have to do with Zhangde Mansion?" ”

Wang Xijue was slightly dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, at that time, the ministers of the court and the central government were all opposed to contracting Weihui Mansion to Guo Dan, which was not in line with the system, but Your Majesty ..... it." ”

"But what am I?"

Wanli squinted, and said: "I said it clearly at the time, this matter is urgent, if you have a way to solve the problem, how can I do this, you have no choice, I appointed Guo Dan to go, and now I come to blame me, it is really unreasonable." ”

Wang Xijue hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Wanli sneered and said: "It's not that the imperial court didn't send people over to help the emergency, they drove people away, and now they let the imperial court send grain to help, I see that there must be officials among them who want to make profits from this, and before Guo Dan arrives at Weihui Mansion, I will never transfer food to the past." ”

Wang Jiaping hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this person's life is .....!" ”

"That's why I sent Guo Dan to go out of the ordinary, they don't know how to live, how can I save it." As he spoke, Wanli suddenly said to Zhang Cheng, "Minister." ”

"Wechen is here."

"You immediately draw up a decree and send it to them, and tell them that whoever drives Guo Dan away will bear the consequences."

"Wechen obeys."

Wanli suddenly looked at Wang Xijue again and said, "Didn't Fang Caiqing's family say that the ministers of the court and the central government are all opposed to sending Guo Dan to go?" ”

Wang Xijue nodded.

Wanli said with a smile: "I have no objection to them sending food to the relief, if they want, I can send someone to escort them, this matter is already considered benevolent and righteous." ”

With that, he got up and left.
