In the upper study, Zhu Yuanzhang was still asking about Li Jin's news.

But Mao Xiang seems to be able to only investigate these things, and other things can only be known from the mouths of the people.

However, Li Jin's reputation among the people is naturally well-known, and everyone says that Li Jin is a good official, the Qingtian lord of Shanghu County.

What businessmen does Li Jin work with? Or how much was it embezzled?

There is no conclusion at all, and some people say that Li Jin is a clean official, and there is no corruption at all.

Or some people said that Li Jin may have been forced to accept some bribes, and he took them all out to do things for the people, and he didn't hide them at all.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more angry he became, and when he heard the end, he shouted directly:

"Fart, we saw with our own eyes that bastard received tens of thousands of taels of gold from others, how could there be no corruption and bribery?"

"These people are all accomplices, all of them are accomplices of that corrupt official?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was gradually out of control, Zhu Biao hurriedly persuaded beside him:

"Father, you dissipate your anger."

"No matter what Li Jin says, he also has merit, and it is not easy for Li Jin to be able to run Shanghu County like this."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, and then remembered that Li Jin, the bastard, was helping the victims in Yiwu at the moment!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood suddenly improved a lot.

This time has passed for so long, and I haven't heard of Yiwu starving to death, which means that Li Jin has begun to throw silver into it.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little psychologically balanced, as long as he could let Li Jin spend money, he would be psychologically comfortable.

"Biao'er, what's going on in Yiwu now?"

Zhu Biao was stunned by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden question, and replied:

"I don't know this son, why don't you summon Lu Shangshu to ask?"

"Since that's the case, then call Lu Chang immediately."

Zhu Yuanzhang was gradually cheerful at this time.

Soon, Lu Chang hurried to the upper study.

"Minister Lu Chang pays a visit to the emperor."

When Lu Chang saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately paid a big salute.

"Let's be flat, I called you over again, I just want to ask you, what is the situation in Yiwu now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang went straight to the point and asked Lu Chang about Yiwu.

Lu Chang bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, no one in Yiwu is starving to death now, and it has met the expectations of the imperial court."

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and sure enough, as he expected, Li Jin was afraid that he would fill in a lot of money.

But then Zhu Yuanzhang remembered Li Jin's various operations in Shanghu County, and asked with a little unease:

"Li Jin shouldn't have any weird behavior, right?"

"This... The minister didn't know. ”

Lu Chang shook his head suspiciously, not knowing why Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly burst into action, and he said to Mao Xiang:

"Mao Xiang, you go to Yiwu immediately, and you must investigate the ins and outs of Li Jin's disaster relief."

"Don't miss a single detail, let's know how Li Jin rescued the disaster?"

Mao Xiang was puzzled in his heart, wasn't Li Jin the county magistrate of Shanghu County? How did you go to the disaster?

However, Mao Xiang did not dare to delay, and hurriedly knelt down and replied:

"Yes."

Seeing Mao Xiang leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang settled down a little, no matter what, no one starved to death in Yiwu, this is already the best news.

....

Yiwu County.

It has been a few months since the last flood burst the levees, and after such a long period of discharge, the flood water in Yiwu County has receded.

It's just that the roads in Yiwu County are still muddy.

Since Mao Xiang left Yingtian, he rode a fast horse straight to Jinhua, but as soon as he arrived in Yiwu, he found that all the roads here were being built.

Just like the road surface in Shanghu County, it began to spread in Yiwu County, which surprised Mao Xiang.

But unlike Shanghu County, the people of Yiwu County look ragged, which is very different from the people of Shanghu County.

Mao Xiang turned over and got off the horse, planning to go to Yiwu County on foot to investigate.

When he came to Yiwu County, Mao Xiang found that there was no soup kitchen here, which surprised him.

Since the warehouse has been opened here to release grain, how can there not be a relief point?

If there are no relief points, how can we treat the victims?

These questions instantly surrounded Mao Xiang's heart, which made Mao Xiang's mind full of doubts.

"Bang Bang!!"

Just when Mao Xiang was puzzled, he heard the sound of gongs ringing next to him.

Mao Xiang hurriedly looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a group of ragged and unkempt people, rushing towards the place where the gong sounded.

Mao Xiang knew that this matter was not simple, and he was also desperate to squeeze forward.

As soon as he came to him, Mao Xiang saw a middle-aged man inside, standing on the stone mill, knocking on the gong, and yelling:

"Fathers and fellow villagers, old and young masters, hurry up and take a look."

"Our adults are going to build roads in the city, if you want to go, hurry up and sign up!"

"My lord, I'm willing to sign up, I'm willing to go !!"

"Pick me!! My lord, I'll go! I'm strong, and I'm a top two. ”

The people below all signed up enthusiastically, for fear that they would not be selected.

Mao Xiang was stunned by this change, these people should not be hungry and have no strength, why are they still so energetic to work?

After the recruiter filled the staff, he turned around and left, leaving only some people who were not selected and looked lonely.

Mao Xiang, who didn't know why, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop a person who wanted to leave, took out a wheat cake, and said:

"Brother, I'm new here, I wonder if I can ask you some questions?"

The man looked at the wheat cake in Mao Xiang's hand with bright eyes and nodded quickly.

Mao Xiang smiled slightly, handed the wheat cake in his hand to the man, and asked:

"Brother, can you tell me what the situation is in Yiwu now? Why can't you see the relief point? ”

While eating the wheat cake, the man said to Mao Xiang:

"What else?"

"Since the arrival of that imperial history, the relief rules of our Yiwu County have changed."

"All the relief points have been abolished, and the reason for cash-for-work has been changed."

After hearing this, Mao Xiang was even more puzzled and asked:

"What is cash-for-work?"

"Just like just now, only those who work can have food."

The man looked very hungry, and ate the bread in his hand in three or two bites.

After eating, he licked his fingers unsatisfactorily.

"What about children and the elderly, like those who are helpless?"

Mao Xiang's brows were already furrowed, as if he felt that this was a little inappropriate.

"Don't worry about this, Lord Yushi has made good arrangements for them, and there will be no starvation to death."

The man was not worried, after all, his children and old mother had been arranged, and he didn't have to worry about it at all.

"And what if someone like you doesn't find a job?"

Mao Xiang saw that this person was not worried about the problems of life at all, and expressed his incomprehension.

"If you're really starving to death, there's an emergency point, but the food there's really not good."

The man had a look of disgust on his face and continued:

"Except for the first few people, there are basically no one going."

"Don't go there as a last resort, it's not only a shame to go there to eat, it's also unpalatable."

Mao Xiang suddenly expressed curiosity about this so-called emergency aid center.

In Mao Xiang's impression, these people are about to starve to death, and they will even pick and choose?
