Relief materials were delivered to Shangjing one after another, and the cooks in charge of cooking also passed quickly.

Makeshift pavilions were erected, and cooks lit fires to cook there.

The victims were able to eat steamed buns with meat and vegetables, and even a steaming bowl of tomato and egg soup.

All the victims were able to live in tents, and although there were not enough quilts for each person, it was good that two or three people could be squeezed into one quilt.

All of them began to praise the kindness of the imperial court, because from the beginning of the transportation of supplies to Shangjing, no one had starved to death in the beginning.

And these are all the money that Lu Ning spent out of his own pocket, and some of the materials were transferred from Changzhou Government, and Lu Ning paid for them himself.

At this time, above the imperial court, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious at the newly appointed Hubu Shangshu.

"Is your wine bag and rice bag really useless? We let you manage the world's money and grain, and when there is a disaster and you need relief, you will not be able to take out a penny. ”

At this time, Liang Feihong, who had just been appointed as the head of the household department for less than a month, was completely depressed.

Even if you should carry the pot, you can't carry this kind of pot for no reason, a month, where can you spoil the household?

Besides, even if it is the former head of the household department, he should not carry this pot for Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, the Department of Domestic Products has already earned a lot of money, at least in the past two months, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

But in order to expand the formation, Zhu Yuanzhang gave all this money to the king of Jiubiansai.

Now the household department can't come up with money, which is actually the sequelae of the Ming Dynasty's eagerness to expand the army but without any reserves.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, naturally can't take this responsibility, so he can only throw this responsibility on the body of Hubu Shangshu.

Liang Feihong had no choice but to say it repeatedly.

"The minister's management of the household department is not strict, which leads to such a deficit, and he is willing to accept any punishment, even if he raids the minister's house, he is willing."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that Liang Feihong was a clean official.

raided his home, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get a hundred and ten taels of silver, which will have no effect on disaster relief.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, a guard outside ran in and said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, the victims of the disaster in Shangjing have been completely appeased, they not only have tents to sleep in, quilt covers, and even buns to eat, and now they are praising the emperor's grace, and no one has starved to death since the day before yesterday."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a stone in his heart fell to the ground completely, and he immediately asked.

"Do you know which yamen is doing this, why haven't you reported it yet, and solved the matter without complaining to the court, then we must reward more."

The guard replied to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.

"It's not often done by any yamen, but a local county order, this person's surname is Lu Mingning, the word Zi'an, and now he is serving in Changning County, and was named a viscount by the imperial court, and these disaster relief materials and disaster relief personnel are all sent by him."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned red when he heard this, it seems that Zi'an, this kid has really done a big thing for us, and it is right to recognize this eldest nephew.

He whispered to the guard again.

"The imperial court can't come up with money for disaster relief, but Lu Ning was able to respond quickly to solve the crisis of the imperial court, which will cost a lot of money, right?"

The guard hurriedly replied to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"His subordinates have all checked with the people of Jinyiwei, and they consume more than 100,000 taels of silver every day, all of which are from Lu Ning himself, but he is providing disaster relief in the name of the imperial court, and says that he is appointed by the imperial court."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more moved to consume Zi'an's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one day, even if he was rich, he couldn't withstand such a toss.

What's more, Lu Ning is not a fame and reputation seeker, he spends his own money for disaster relief, but in the name of the imperial court, this is a proper act to buy charity for the king.

At this time, these ministers above the court were also relieved, and their hanging hearts were also put into their stomachs.

In any case, this problem that plagued the household department and the ministers was finally solved, whether they had any opinions on Lu Ning or not, they were grateful to this lord at this time.

The first to stand up was Liang Feihong, the head of the household, and he immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, Lu Ning, the son of Changning County, can buy charity for the monarch like this, and it is to destroy the family and relieve the difficulties for the imperial court, so he must be praised."

The ministers next to them listened to Liang Feihong's words, and naturally echoed them, and there must be no problem in coming out to be a good person at this time.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very excited at this moment, he wanted to make his identity public immediately, and recruit Lu Ning to Beijing to meet him and be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom.

However, there was still a trace of hesitation in his heart, and he was also very worried that after his identity was revealed, his relationship with Lu Ning would become unfamiliar.

So, he said to the ministers present.

"You have all seen that Lu Zi'an spends more than 100,000 taels of silver every day for disaster relief for the imperial court, if any imperial historian attacks him again in the future, don't blame me for being polite!"

After finishing speaking, he also announced his retirement from the dynasty and prepared to return to the harem to discuss with Queen Ma and the crown prince Zhu Biao how to deal with this matter.

At the critical moment, of course, he still trusted his own people, and there was nothing to discuss with these ministers.
