The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Hongyu really has no interest in Fei Yanggu.

If it was Oboi or Kangxi who was caught, he might still be interested in meeting him.

But a Feyangu is unnecessary!
Zhu Hongyu chatted with Wu Tuo for a while, and Wu Tuo took the initiative to leave.

Glancing at the clock on the table, it was almost noon, Zhu Hongyu immediately ordered someone to pass the meal.

Zhu Hongyu's lunch is very simple, a bowl of rice, a plate of stir-fried yellow beef, a plate of braised pork, a plate of stir-fried spinach, a plate of shredded pepper potatoes, and a cup of West Lake beef soup!

Four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables!

Although these stir-fries and soups are more refined, they are not luxurious.

Zhu Hongyu ate the food in small mouthfuls, chewing slowly.

Still considered leisurely!
The maid on the side was making tea for him, the tea soup was clear and fragrant.

After finishing his lunch, Zhu Hongyu put down the rice bowl in his hand, took a sip from his teacup, and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

He didn't continue to review government affairs right away, but ordered someone to move a rocking chair and put it away under the shade of a tree in the small courtyard.

He made a pot of tea, brought a few dishes of refreshments and placed them on the table beside the rocking chair.

Zhu Hongyu lay down on the rocking chair, and the rocking chair rocked gently back and forth, making a creaking sound.

He held a transcript of the Yongle Canon in his hand, flipping through it bit by bit.

From time to time, I pick up the teacup and take a sip of tea, or take a bite of tea...

The sweetness of the refreshment washes away the slightly bitterness of the tea!

Feeling the tea being sipped on the tip of his tongue, Zhu Hongyu took another sip of tea.

Feel the warmth of the sun shining on the body and face through the mottled tree shadows.

Zhu Hongyu was enjoying the leisure in the afternoon!
At this time, the leaves are already golden.

Therefore, even in the afternoon, the weather is not hot.

The sun shone on his face, but it made people feel warm.

After a long time, a slight autumn wind blows, and the leaves of the big tree above the head are rustling under the blowing of the autumn wind.

A golden leaf fluttered down and landed on Zhu Hongyu's chest.

Zhu Hongyu stretched out his hands to pick up the fallen leaves, looked at the lines on the fallen leaves, and said subconsciously.

"It's autumn!"

It is already the beginning of August in the 20th year of the Yongli calendar, and it will not be long before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's already autumn!
The autumn wind has brought some chills faintly.

Zhu Hongyu reckoned that the temperature was about to cool down.

As if remembering something, Zhu Hongyu called out to the little eunuch who was serving him personally.

"Little Linzi!"

Xiao Linzi stood under the mottled shade of the trees, feeling the tranquility, already a little drowsy.

Hearing Zhu Hongyu calling him all of a sudden, his expression brightened instantly, and he opened his mouth to reply.

"Your Majesty, the servant is here!"

Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth and ordered.

"Go and tell the adults in the cabinet, I just want to discuss matters with them!"

"..."

After Zhu Hongyu gave the order, he didn't have to wait long before the civil and military ministers of the Ming cabinet gathered together. …

Zhu Hongyu changed into ordinary clothes and appeared in front of everyone.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

"Long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

Zhu Hongyu sat down on the main seat and just spoke.

"Zhu Qing is flat!"

Looking around for a week, Zhu Hongyu ordered directly.

"It's autumn, and the temperature has dropped dramatically recently!"

"If the imperial court doesn't care about it, I'm afraid there will be many people who will freeze to death inside and outside Nanjing!"

"Nanjing is at the foot of the emperor, the first good place, how can such a thing happen?"

"Send people to the city of Nanjing to investigate how many beggars and refugees there are in the city, gather these beggars and refugees, arrange jobs for them, and provide relief with work!"

"It was the first year when I regained Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, and the new dynasty should have a new atmosphere."

"The first step is to rectify the refugees and beggars in Nanjing!"

Now is the Little Ice Age, and the temperature is very low every winter.

Every winter, even if this is Jiangnan, a large number of refugees and beggars are frozen to death in the cold wind every day.

In the past, every morning, there were at least a few, and at most dozens of corpses were transported out of the city.

Most of them were frozen to death!
Zhu Hongyu couldn't see people dying of cold and starvation, and planned to resettle those refugees and beggars who had no food or clothing.

Zheng Chenggong heard this and said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the factory in the old minister's home can accept some of the refugees and beggars to work!"

In the face of Zhu Hongyu's many policies, Zheng Chenggong will always be the first to stand up and express his support.

Zhu Hongyu has long been accustomed to this.

Just nodded and said.

"King Yanping's move has brought countless living people and immeasurable merit!"

Zhang Huangyan on the side suggested.

"Your Majesty, the old minister's opinion is that if the imperial government wants to help refugees and beggars, the scope of relief should be expanded, and it should not be limited to Nanjing City."

"The people in other places are also the people of my Ming Dynasty!"

"The imperial court should expand the scope and carry out centralized resettlement of beggars and refugees from all over the world!"

After Zhu Hongyu heard this, he pondered for a while and then spoke.

"Maybe it works!"

"Let's implement it in the city of Nanjing this winter first, try the water first, and get familiar with the method of using work as relief, the specific process of resettling refugees and beggars, and the money, food and materials needed to spend."

"After the imperial court is familiar with the specific process, the resettlement scope will be expanded to the whole world!"

Zhu Hongyu is very willing to do this kind of work to resettle refugees and beggars.

Because this kind of thing is completely multi-tasking!
One is to earn enough fame for him, Zhu Hongyu!
The second is to centrally resettle those refugees and beggars, and replace them with work, which can greatly alleviate social conflicts and ensure social order.

Get rid of the biggest unstable factor in the whole society!
The only downside may be that it costs a certain amount of money.

But, then again, will work-for-relief really lose money?
The answer is no!

Whether it is taking these refugees and beggars to build roads, farm fields, or send them to work in factories, it is profitable for the court.

How could it be a loss?
It's just a start-up stage that requires a certain amount of resource investment.

This thing is almost like an investment!

The more you invest in the early stage, the more you can earn later.

Seeing that Zhu Hongyu had finalized the matter in person, all the ministers in the cabinet of Ming Dynasty bowed down and agreed to accept the order.

Then the various departments began to coordinate and dispatch resources, ready to do things!

The propaganda department first made preparations for publicity. In the new issue of Daming Daily, it published that the imperial court wanted to use work for relief to relieve the refugees and beggars in Nanjing, and to expand the implementation of this matter to accumulate experience and prepare to implement the affairs of the world.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city of Nanjing praised Zhu Hongyu's kindness.

Some families have even started offering Zhu Hongyu's longevity tablet.
