Chapter 60: Can I Make Progress in My Words?

Lu Xiang ascended into the hall and saluted in front of His Majesty.

"Weichen sees Your Majesty, greets Your Majesty!"

"Xing!"

Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised when he saw Lu Xiangsheng looking very anxious.

"Lu Shilang, shouldn't you be recruiting troops outside the city at this time? How do you have the leisure to come to me? ”

"But what happened?"

Lu Xiangsheng over there was a little embarrassed to speak, but he thought about the lonely homeless people outside the field, and finally bowed to Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, Wechen is here. I'm asking for your life, and now we've recruited enough 6,000 recruits, but there are still many outcasts outside the city. ”

"The minister can't bear to look at them like this, and wants to ask Your Majesty for your life, and recruit another 4,000 people."

Zhu Youxiao was a little stunned.

He was still worried about the shortage of silver just now, and this Lu Xiangsheng came to tell him again that he had to recruit another 4,000 people.

Then his silver taels will flow out like flowing water again.

"If you recruit these 4,000 more people, I won't be able to raise them!"

Lu Xiangsheng was anxious when he heard this.

He knew that Zhu Youxiao had a lot of money to use recently, and that the arsenal had to make such a powerful firearm, it would cost two silver taels.

In addition, His Majesty also has to raise cavalry, but also to raise musketeers, all of which are all money.

But Lu Xiangsheng couldn't bear it anymore.

He thought about it now, and it was almost winter.

Looking at it this way, the first snow in the city is about to fall.

The homeless people outside the city did not even have thick clothes on their bodies.

If they were left outside the city like this, they would not be able to survive this winter, and a large number of people would surely freeze to death by then.

There are a large number of old and weak women among the homeless people, and Lu Xiangsheng really can't bear it!

Zhu Youxiao saw the sincerity on Lu Xiangsheng's face.

He could see that Lu Xiangsheng said these things, not to brush up on his favorability in front of him, but to really think about the people.

Zhu Youxiao was silent.

He suddenly had an idea in his mind.

This Lu Xiangsheng inspired him.

He finally thought about it. Where can I get a sum of silver?

Lu Xiangsheng over there was still anxious, waiting for Zhu Youxiao's reply.

But he was stunned when he saw Zhu Youxiao.

Lu Xiangsheng thought that Zhu Youxiao was very embarrassed about this matter.

He also gritted his teeth and knelt directly in front of Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, the minister also knows that it is also very difficult at this time."

"The minister's family, although not very wealthy, is still passable."

"If Your Majesty can promise the minister, then he is willing to give all his family property."

Zhu Youxiao finally came back to his senses at this time.

He looked at Lu Xiangsheng in front of him and knew that the other party had misunderstood.

"Lu Shilang misunderstood again."

"You are just a soldier in the army, and you can still think about the people like this, as the lord of the world, how can I be willing to let the people be displaced?"

"In this case, then you will recruit another 4,000 people, and at the same time, I will allow you to recruit another 20,000 homeless people from outside the city, and I will arrange work for them."

"No matter how difficult it is inside, at least I can give them a bite to eat."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was moved, he was really moved.

But he was also a little anxious about Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty." If we do this, how can we afford it? ”

Zhu Youxiao sighed, "There's nothing I can't stand it, I will naturally consider this issue." ”

"Even if I only eat two dishes per meal and only two meals a day in the future, this will solve these problems for you."

Lu Xiangsheng got wet again.

He kowtowed heavily to Zhu Zheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and motioned for him to go out.

When Lu Xiangsheng left, Zhu Youxiao recruited the little eunuch who was waiting beside him, "Call Wei Zhongxian to me, I have something to do with him." ”

Then Zhu Youxiao took out a brocade guard record from the cabinet and gave it to him.

He already understood in his heart how he could get a large amount of silver.

But this matter has to be a bit of start-up capital after all, and this one in Zhu Youxiao's hand is the list of two corrupt officials in the imperial court.

Now, I have to sacrifice these two brothers.

It's not easy to govern the country!

When Lu Xiangsheng returned to the outside of the city again, his face was mixed.

But overall, Lu Xiangsheng is a little more happy.

In anticipation, he climbed onto the low table.

Even Jinyiwei and Xu Xianchun looked at him with expectant eyes.

It can be seen that this Xu Xianchun is not exactly a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official has asked His Majesty for a holy decree!"

"Your Majesty said that the displaced people are in distress, and since he is the lord of the world, he is quite uneasy in his heart."

"Now that winter is coming, although there is not much silver in the inner pocket, Your Majesty is willing to cut back on food and clothing, even if it is only one meal a day, they will save the people!"

"Your Majesty has agreed, and four thousand soldiers are being recruited among you."

"In addition, His Majesty also promised that the rest would be if they wished. You can also work in the Imperial Village, and Your Majesty will give you a livelihood, so that the people can survive the winter in peace. ”

The homeless people are boiling.

They didn't expect that the final result of this matter would be like this.

Your Majesty really agreed?

Especially when they heard that His Majesty could only eat one meal a day for their sake, they wept.

People who do not live in this era can hardly appreciate the reverence of the people of this era for imperial power.

His Majesty was willing to treat himself so harshly, just to save their lives, how could this not make them weep bitterly.

The displaced people fell to their knees.

"Lu Shilang Gong Wandai!"

"From today on, our life is Your Majesty, Your Majesty will let us die, and we will never say anything!"

"Die for Your Majesty!"

"Die for Your Majesty!"

"Die for Your Majesty!"

The people here, even if they are as cold as Jinyi Wei and Xu Xianchun, they are quite excited in their hearts.

This is the people's heart, this is the people's heart!

Your Majesty has really changed a lot.

The scribes of the Jinyi Guard began to register the information of the displaced people again, and the able-bodied could take his family to serve as soldiers and eat food.

And those who are a little older can be registered in the register, and when the time comes, wait for Zhu Youxiao to give them a job.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian hurried and finally came to the Qianqing Palace.

After he entered the Qianqing Palace, he saw that His Majesty was practicing calligraphy again.

In Wei Zhongxian's opinion, His Majesty is in a good mood today!

Wei Zhongxian gave Zhu Youxiao a big salute.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Bow down! Prosper! ”

Then, Wei Zhongxian came to his side under the beckoning of Zhu Youxiao.

"Wei Qing, look at the word I, can you make progress?"

Well, there's a fart progress!
