"Your Majesty, Your Highness and Li Xing are busy pacifying and treating the people, and the shadow guards are also assisting, which is transmitted back by the secret agents of Dongchang hidden in Hedong City."

Qin Jin explained in a low voice: "Presumably, Your Highness's good news should arrive in the next few days." ”

The Emperor nodded.

Qin Jin retreated to the position where he should be standing very interestingly.

Only then did the emperor cough dryly and looked at the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are very conscious, and I am very relieved, after the dynasty is dispersed, go to the cabinet to register, and put the food in place as soon as possible. ”

The ministers bowed at the same time and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and the ministers are ashamed." ”

……

Lu Zhou, the fief of King Lu, the palace of King Lu.

King Lu was in the back garden, fiddling with a set of plate armor.

Beside him stood a blonde maid.

The housekeeper took a sneak look, the maid who looked like a ghost, and didn't know why the prince loved her.

However, he quickly stopped thinking nonsense and began to report the information he had just obtained to the prince.

The movements in King Lu's hands suddenly stopped, and he put down the plate armor helmet he was holding in his hand.

Looking at the housekeeper, he asked in a deep voice, "You mean, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus failed, and Wu Yi and Haicheng died?" ”

The housekeeper knew that the prince was suppressing the anger in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said: "Back to the prince, the secret report said so, and also said that Li Xing, the son of the prince and Xing Guogong, had mastered the means of treating smallpox, so he took Hedong City without blood. ”

"No wonder the royal brother was able to escape, it turns out that the rumors are true."

King Lu said to himself.

When the housekeeper heard this, he didn't dare to take it.

You can only think of yourself as deaf for the time being.

King Lu thought for a while, and then looked at the housekeeper again: "If this king's expectation is good, someone should confess to this king, go and dispose of all the tails, and Hedong City will be temporarily given to the imperial brother!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, the little ones will do it."

After the butler finished speaking, he turned around and hurried away.

Only then did King Lu look at the blonde-haired and blue-eyed maid beside him: "It seems that these smallpox plagues brought by your country are no different from the smallpox plagues in my Great Xia, are there any other more powerful epidemics?" ”

The blonde and blue-eyed maid did not speak immediately, but looked at King Lu and asked in a broken Daxia dialect: "Master, there is a kind of disease that is called the whip of God in our country, and once killed half of the population of our country. ”

"It was also because that kind of illness was so terrible that my brother and I traveled thousands of miles to come to Daxia."

This made King Lu interested and asked, "What kind of disease is that?" Can it be treated? ”

The blonde maid shook her head: "It can't be treated, it's a punishment from the gods, it's called the Black Death." ”

As soon as he heard that it could not be treated, King Lu gave up the idea of bringing this epidemic to Great Xia.

He wanted to take the throne, but he didn't want Great Xia to perish.

He sent people to spread smallpox because he had mastered the cure for smallpox.

Originally, he wanted to wait for the epidemic to be almost over, and he appeared as the reincarnation of a god, but he didn't expect to cheapen the son of the prince and Xing Guogong.

made his layout over the years almost in vain.

……

The renovation drawings of Hedong City were finally perfected after Li Xing spent 10,000 prestige points.

So that night, Li Xing had already arranged for someone to connect with those wealthy businessmen and clans.

That night, Li Xing and Jiang Hong also met with some capable officials in Hedong City.

In the name of the crown prince, they were exceptionally promoted, let them recruit subordinates on their own, and cooperate with the transformation and construction of Hedong City.

Because of the money paid by wealthy merchants and big families, plus the Hu family also got a lot of gold, silver and grain, and there were also a lot of them in the treasury of Hedong Prefecture.

Therefore, all the work in Hedong City is carried out in an orderly manner.

In this way, Hedong City, which was still lifeless, soon became vibrant and in full swing.

Especially the crown prince Jiang Hong, this time unlike in Lingwu County, he didn't even paddle.

said that in order to have a deeper understanding of the people's suffering, Jiang Hong actually went down to the bottom of the construction to practice.

Jiang Muxuan is the same, she goes out early and returns late every day.

It's just that every time she comes back, she is full of smiles.

It's like a little fox who has stolen a treasure.

This made Li Xing have to sigh, it is not his own business, but he does his best.

Of course, Li Xing is not idle, and he is also walking around every day, but he is not idling, but discovering and solving problems in the process of shopping.

On this day, I found that even with his orders, those rich merchants and clans who worked still could not change the bad habit of oppressing these working people.

Li Xing plans to set up a trade union.

So I sent someone to discuss with Jiang Hong.

Jiang Hong, who was mingling with the people outside, heard that Li Xing was looking for him in a hurry, and came back in a hurry.

Seeing that Li Xing was writing and drawing, he leaned over and asked, "Lao Li, what are you doing?" In such a hurry to call me over? ”

Li Xing handed the things written in his hand to Jiang Hong: "Now these homeless people, although they have been resettled, but these rich businessmen and big families still inevitably squeeze them according to the old habits, so I want His Royal Highness to play Your Majesty and set up a trade union to be responsible for restraining the rich businessmen and big families who work and protect the people who work." ”

When Jiang Hong was working, he also encountered people complaining about it.

It's just that every time he passes, those rich merchants and big clans will converge a lot.

But he also knows that this is not a long-term solution, and he is also trying to find a way.

Now that Li Xing proposed this, Jiang Hong's face showed joy, and he quickly took the plan written by Li Xing and looked at it.

Li Xing's plan was written very clearly, and the yamen in charge of this matter was set up under the political envoy, called the trade union yamen.

When the imperial court evaluates each year, it is based on whether they handle disputes for the common people as an evaluation standard.

After reading it, Jiang Hong's eyes flashed brightly: "Lao Li, this method is excellent, I will write an excerpt to my father, and after a while, we will go to the political envoy department, first set up this trade union yamen, and restrain those big clans and rich businessmen." ”

"This matter should be sooner rather than later, and tomorrow the whole city will be plastered with notices, so that the people will know that they have the right to fight for interests."
