With the 10 taels of silver sent by Emperor Wanli, Zhong Huamin's disaster relief work was indeed much easier.

Zhong Huamin took part of the 10 taels of silver to help the disaster-stricken clan.After these poor clans received the relief money sent by Emperor Wanli, they were all very grateful.It is said that the emperor's grace is mighty.

But in fact, Zhong Huamin didn't give them much.After all, there are so many people suffering in the disaster area, and if the balance is really focused on these clans, then there is no need to provide relief for this disaster.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhong Huamin decided to only give these disaster-stricken clans a double share of relief supplies. This double share of relief supplies is not too much, but it is not too little.At least it can be regarded as making them decent as the clan.

Zhong Huamin will use the rest of the money to give relief to those people who are really in need.

Zhong Huamin used these silver and the remaining silver in his hands to redeem some poor victims who were forced to sell themselves into slavery by life.

Although, the Ming Dynasty explicitly prohibited human trafficking.However, in every year of catastrophe, there will always be ordinary people who cannot survive being forced to sell their sons and daughters, and even sell themselves, in exchange for a glimmer of hope of survival.Although the imperial court was aware of the existence of this kind of thing, it still chose to turn a blind eye in the end. After all, there were too many disaster years, and it was absolutely impossible to get comprehensive and effective relief just by relying on relief.

However, the occurrence of this situation will often bring about extremely huge vicious consequences.

Not to mention how many human tragedies this phenomenon will cause.Just the act of buying and selling people will cause the imperial court to lose a lot of effective population.

After these local tyrants and evil gentry who made a fortune bought the poor people, they hid their household registration and squeezed these people who sold themselves into black households, making them work day and night in exchange for a little rations.

Slowly, the social contradictions accumulated deeper and deeper. When the big guys really can't eat, some bold people will rise up. When the world is in turmoil and the dynasty is overthrown, then the world will really fall apart.

However, the evil gentry and local tyrants don't think about these things, they only want to be rich and benevolent like Huang Shiren, and suck the bones of the common people to maintain their luxurious quality of life.In the end, this blame can only be carried by their unlucky descendants and the fate of the dynasty.

Faced with such a tragedy, Zhong Huamin once described the scene of the separation of relatives: "Zhongzhou cuts people and eats flesh, and close relatives cannot protect each other. Trying to survive, despise others, wife and season follow husband, intestines are cut off, and children wander in foreign lands. It was not due to Shaoen's kindness, but to helplessness."

Therefore, after Zhong Huamin stabilized the basic food and clothing problems of the victims, he began to redeem the population in the name of the government.

After Zhong Huamin redeemed the pawned population, he sent them back to his home.

For this reason, on the one hand, he mobilized the power of the imperial court to find the whereabouts of the trafficked people; on the one hand, he ordered that funds be allocated from the disaster relief funds for redemption;

After this round of operations, the original Zhonghuamin only redeemed 4000 people in history, but now it has doubled, and finally more than 1 people were redeemed.

However, this alone is not enough, Zhong Huamin has to find a new way of life for these redeemed ordinary people and those who are struggling with food and clothing.

Therefore, Zhong Huamin came up with the method of "relief with work", which was 400 years earlier than the method of "relief with work" implemented by US President Roosevelt!

In this way, Zhong Huamin used the method of work-for-relief to rescue the disaster and start rebuilding the disaster-stricken area at the same time.

He allowed the victims to participate in the court's public construction projects, such as broken cities, decaying embankments, old bridges, silted rivers and other projects in the disaster area.Zhong Huamin tried every means to get the power of these victims to participate. Firstly, it can strengthen the management of the victims, and secondly, it can allow the victims to get paid, solve the livelihood problem after the disaster, and complete a series of public works in this way. Kill three birds with one stone!
Finally, Zhong Huamin also purchased a batch of seeds and cattle for the recovery of agricultural production after the disaster.Let the victims get out of the disaster state as soon as possible.

Later, during Zhong Huamin's on-site visits, he learned that some disaster-stricken areas lacked income-generating projects, and Zhong Huamin began to seriously investigate the actual situation in the disaster-stricken areas.

Then, he began to plan and step by step from weaving and making clothes to planting various cash crops.Recruited and dispatched a lot of technical instructors to the disaster area to help the victims complete the final poverty alleviation work.This kind of work attitude and work enthusiasm can almost be compared with the old senior county officials in Lankao County.Zhong Huamin seemed to be the most outstanding "Poverty Alleviation Master" in the Ming Dynasty at that time!
In addition to these thoughts, Zhong Huamin also did other things, such as sorting out household registration.

Whenever a major disaster occurs, the registration and management of victims is also very important.

Firstly, it is possible to classify and review the victims, and to conduct unified management of the victims to the greatest extent; secondly, it is possible to obtain the most authentic first-hand information on the victims; thirdly, it can also effectively prevent some idlers from mixing with the victims Teams, resulting in a waste of disaster relief supplies, and damage to disaster relief order.

For this reason, Zhong Huamin ordered the leaders of various prefectures and counties to personally visit the disaster victims in their respective jurisdictions, and divide them into upper, middle and lower according to the disaster level.

And according to the specific disaster situation of the victims, they should be treated separately in the disaster relief, so as to make the best use of everything.In this way, the disaster relief materials are fully utilized, and at the same time, the social order in the disaster area is stabilized.Therefore, this article is simply presented like a textbook of management science, and the officials and other personnel who followed Zhong Huamin were amazed and ashamed.

Then, Zhong Huamin also lenient the punishment.

Whenever there is a major disaster, the hearts of the people in the disaster area will definitely float!Social order must also be severely impacted.Often at such times, whether it is ancient or modern, in order to maintain the stability of the rule, it is inevitable to adopt a severe punishment and legal management strike mode to prevent people with intentions from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.However, such consequences will cause many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and even new human tragedies.

But Zhong Huamin did the opposite.He emphasized lenient punishment in the disaster area, and asked his officials to give more understanding and consideration to the middle and lower poor people who were affected by the disaster.

For some minor public security issues that occurred in the disaster area, let the officials directly refuse to deal with them.Seeing this, I don't think such an approach is undermining the rule of law.We must know that in the social structure at that time, there were not so many grassroots management agencies like urban management police stations involved.The only officials in the imperial court were busy with disaster relief, and they simply couldn't spare so many law enforcement officers to manage the security work in the disaster area.

The purpose of Zhong Huamin's doing this is to improve disaster relief efficiency and save disaster relief labor costs.Therefore, there is absolutely no need to go online because of some small cases that did not cause major disturbances and public opinion.Because some harsh punishments in the Ming Dynasty often had consecutive sittings, which led to more complicated lawsuits.If this operation is done, the disaster will not be relieved, just lie down and die.

Zhong Huamin also showed his fearlessness to the disaster victims who had fallen into bandits. He understood that the reason why these ordinary people did this was because they couldn't eat and couldn't survive.Therefore, Zhong Huamin went to the "bandit's nest" where the fallen grass was the bandit's bandit several times alone, and told the fallen grass victims inside with reason and affection, and told them the imperial court's disaster relief policy, and emphasized that the imperial court would never blame the past.In this way, Zhong Huamin successfully made these "disaster bandits" who might cause greater turmoil lay down their weapons, disbanded and returned to their hometowns on the spot.Anyone who reads this matter can't help but give a thumbs up!
In addition to the above, Zhong Huamin also carried out anti-corruption actions in the ranks of officials during the disaster relief period!From the perspective of disaster prevention and relief, the storage system was innovated and improved, and economic leverage was used to stabilize food prices.He has also made great achievements in educating the victims of disasters.

It can be seen that this Zhonghuamin censor is not only a clean and capable official, but also a rare all-rounder!If there were more people like this and they were placed in important positions in the central government, maybe the Ming Dynasty could live for a few more years.It is a pity that in the original historical time and space, this industrious and capable Zhong Huamin would die of exhaustion in the post two years later.
Later, when Zhu Changluo saw Zhong Huamin's work records recorded by his subordinates, he was deeply moved.

"I want to call on Xishan Huangzhuang to learn the Zhonghuamin spirit of being dedicated to the public, worrying about the country and the people, and working hard to rejuvenate the country!"

As a result, there was a wave of learning from Zhong Huamin's spirit in Xishan Huangzhuang, and the Xishan staff who followed Zhong Huamin in Henan for disaster relief began to work in various workshops, farms, coal mines, and cattle heads thousands of miles away in Xishan Huangzhuang. The small town of Gou is preaching back and forth to report the spirit of Zhong Huamin.

From the year to September, before the Double Ninth Festival, the imperial court finally received the disaster relief report from Zhong Huamin and other officials.

Emperor Wanli was filled with emotion when he saw the disaster relief mission completed within two months.

"Zhong Huamin is worthy of being my servant!"

After Wanli Emperor took a sip of the Immortal Happy Water, he shamelessly called Zhong Huamin his servant.

Zhu Changluo heard Emperor Wanli's praise of Zhong Huamin from the side, and he naturally followed Emperor Wanli's words: "Father, capable ministers and officials like Zhong Yushi are rare, and they can be obtained by Father. Auspiciousness descended from heaven."

Emperor Wanli's eyes lit up when he heard Zhu Changluo's words, who wouldn't like to have auspicious luck come to the world to decorate the credits?

So Emperor Wanli nodded in approval, and said: "It makes sense. Zhong Huamin is so conscientious, hardworking and capable, and it happens that I sit at the Imperial Palace. This is auspicious!"

After Zhu Changluo heard such shameless words from Emperor Wanli, he bowed to Emperor Wanli: "I congratulate my father for being a good minister! Long live my father, long live my father!"

At this time, the eunuchs serving in Qianqing Palace immediately followed Zhu Changluo's words and knelt down to congratulate Emperor Wanli.

After Emperor Wanli heard everyone's praises for him, he was as happy as a child of three hundred catties.

Emperor Wanli was in a good mood, and then said to Chen Ju: "Preach the decree! Zhong Huamin has contributed to the disaster relief, and I am very relieved. He was promoted to a third rank and given a bullfighting uniform. He was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Experience Department of the Ministry of Rites. this."

Zhu Changluo was stunned when he heard that Emperor Wanli had promoted Zhong Huamin so generously.Minister of Rites, this is a third-rank official!And Zhong Huamin's current position with the highest rank is only Guang Lucheng, the fifth rank.

Although Emperor Wanli's imperial decree said that it was promoted to three levels, it was actually equivalent to being promoted to four levels!

Although such a speed of promotion was very common in the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, it was rare in the stingy Wanli Emperor.You know, in the original historical time and space, after the conflict between Emperor Wanli and the civil official group broke out, he completely suspended the promotion and appointment of officials.

Now, it's just because Zhu Changluo praised Zhong Huamin as auspicious when he said Zhong Huamin was capable several times in his ear.Emperor Wanli was so generous to raise Zhong Huamin so many ranks at once, it's been a long time!

But after Zhu Changluo tasted the content of Emperor Wanli's will carefully, all that remained in Zhu Changluo's heart was moved.

Emperor Wanli worked hard for him.

After Zhu Changluo's crown prince crowning ceremony, according to the previous agreement, Emperor Wanli will appoint Zhu Changluo as the clan order of the clan mansion for the first time.Now, after Zhu Changluo praised Zhong Huamin's ability so much, Emperor Wanli actually transferred this hardworking and capable Zhong Huamin to the clan's mansion for experience. It is not difficult to see that Emperor Wanli was really kind to Zhu Changluo.

Thinking of this, Zhu Changluo bowed deeply to Emperor Wanli deeply moved: "I thank my father, Emperor Long En."

After Wanli Emperor drank a bottle of fairy happy water, he looked at Zhu Changluo and said, "Thank you for what? I didn't give you a promotion."

Listening to Emperor Wanli's words, Zhu Changluo's nose was sour, and tears almost fell out.At the same time, an evil villain couldn't help but yelled, "Give me a promotion? Yes, yes! There is no one who doesn't want to be a prince!"

Zhu Changluo shook his head and shook away the messy thoughts in his head. He said movedly: "Father's promotion to Zhonghuamin's official is actually for the son. The father is worried that after the son's crown ceremony, he will be in charge of the clan's family. There is no one available, so Zhong Huamin was specially pointed out to my son. My son thanked the father for his kindness, Long En."

Emperor Wanli laughed, then stretched out his chubby hand to support Zhu Changluo and said, "You are my son and the prince. Who will I help if I don't help you? Besides, the opening ceremony of Xishan Entertainment City will be held in two days. At that time, I was still counting on you to earn more money for me. It cost me a lot of internal money to fight the Japanese pirates and relieve Henan. You should help me earn it back."

Zhu Changluo said: "My son will definitely earn back all the money for my father."

Emperor Wanli grinned and took another bite of the bread. "He's really my good son. Come on, eat some too. Look at how thin you are. You don't look like me at all."

Zhu Changluo reached out and picked up a Big Mac-style sweet bread and took a bite, then looked at Emperor Wanli and said, "It's so sweet."

Then, the father and son looked at each other and smiled.Drinking fairy happy water together, eating sweet bread.
