Chapter 481 Wu Zhen is convinced(1/2)

Author: Mo Se Jiangnan

Wu Zhen's face was full of sighs: "Yes, I can confirm that the reason why the refugee camp is as stable as it is now is because of the seemingly inexplicable rules of His Royal Highness."

"His Royal Highness the King of England often said that diseases come from the mouth, but I still don't believe it."

"I just feel that a noble man like the prince has a very good life and cannot understand the suffering of the people at all."

As he spoke, a look of shame appeared on Wu Zhen's face: "Now it seems that it is not His Highness the King who suffers the people, but this government and..."

Wu Zhen pointed at himself, and then pointed at his master.

The corners of the master's mouth twitched.

Although what Wu Zhen said seemed to be true, why did it feel so ridiculous when I heard it.

They are not people who have absolutely no experience in governing local areas.

Although Wu Zhen was able to climb to the position of prefect, he relied on the support of others behind him, but his own political achievements were also quite impressive.

The Ming Dynasty has only just been founded. Although it cannot be said that there are no dirty things in the officialdom, compared with later generations, it is still regarded as the Qingming Dynasty.

Some of them are not in important positions, and maybe some are just doing nothing.

But the ability of the prefect who is in charge of a party is definitely not too bad.

As one of Wu Zhen's most important staff, the master's level is naturally impeccable.

Such two people were crushed to pieces by Zhu Han when it came to managing the disaster.

The two of them looked down on Zhu Han before, but now they feel their faces hurt.

Under Wu Zhen's on-demand investigation, the master suddenly understood.

People are like this. When you look at people with prejudices, you often overlook a lot of things.

Now, suddenly, I understood the deep meaning contained in Zhu Han's seemingly bizarre orders.

Looking at Zhu Han now, I feel more and more that His Royal Highness is unfathomable.

In the past, all that could be seen in refugee camps was despair.

Those people were like walking zombies, staying there motionless except for receiving rice porridge from the court every day.

It's not that they are too lazy, but because only by doing this can they save energy as much as possible and not waste the little rice porridge they just ate.

There are all kinds of garbage and excrement everywhere in the refugee camps.

You can't even take a few steps inside without encountering a dead body.

Even though some people are alive, they no longer look any different from the dead.

Even if flies landed on their wounds, they would not even raise their hands to drive those flies away.

Such people have completely lost hope of living.

Even if no one does anything to them, they will leave this world within a few days.

For such people, the government may even intentionally indulge them.

Because at this time, one less person can save a lot of food.

Although it sounds cruel, there is nothing the government can do.

No matter how powerful officials are, they are just ordinary people and cannot conjure food out of thin air.

All we can do is try our best to save those people.

Even at this time, if you can work hard to save people without lining your own pockets, you are considered a relatively good official.

Looking back at the scene outside Datong Mansion now...

The neat rows of wooden houses are a sight to behold just from the city wall.

There is no atmosphere of despair and collapse like in the refugee camps in the past.

Everyone's eyes are filled with a radiance called hope.

Wu Zhen had never seen this kind of light even in the eyes of the people in Datong City.

A group of hungry refugees from the hinterland are actually living a better life than the people in the capital city?

This situation is really unbelievable. However, all of this really happened.

Before, Wu Zhen and his master never understood why there was such a change.

Now, after getting rid of the prejudice in their hearts, they finally slowly understood the reason.

For no reason, it was just because Zhu Han never regarded them as a burden or burden.

These people are not living on charity from the court. They have been relying on their own hard-working hands to support themselves, not the recipients of charity.

If you rely on your own strength to support yourself, you will certainly be able to straighten your back.

"I see." The master clapped his hands fiercely: "No wonder His Royal Highness must build the refugee camp so well."

"Those rules not only ensure the emotional stability of the refugees, but also reduce the diseases, deaths and injuries that can be seen everywhere."

"Without these things, the refugee camps will naturally be stable."

"In the past, no matter what methods we used, it was impossible to guarantee that no one would take advantage of those refugees."

"But this time, there are no people with ulterior motives jumping out."

"I guess they are also very aware that the situation this time is different from before, and they have no chance of causing trouble."

Wu Zhen laughed: "Actually, the most important thing is the one created by His Majesty the King of England called City...Chengguan."

"These people patrol the refugee camps every day. Although they are in charge of trivial matters."

"But even so, those with ulterior motives dare not act rashly."

"Because they don't dare to be sure that their actions will not be discovered by the urban management."

The master smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master Fu, we are indeed not as good as His Royal Highness."

"I originally thought that His Royal Highness, allowing the so-called urban management to act arbitrarily, would definitely arouse dissatisfaction among the people."

"But I didn't expect that it would actually make the people obey me."

Wu Zhen understood the key, and explained with a half-smile: "The people resisted because the things done by the urban management did not threaten their fundamental interests."

The master couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "Master Fu, this doesn't seem right, does it?"

"The urban management officials beat and scolded the people, and even confiscated their hard-earned income. The people must have a lot of resentment towards them."

When the master said this, Wu Zhen burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, Wu Zhen squinted his eyes and said with a clear face: "Master, you don't understand this."

"No matter how cruel those urban management officials are, their actions are still unreasonable in the eyes of the people affected by the disaster."

"But the punishments imposed by the urban management officials were not harmful to them after all."

"Confiscating the money they earned in a day or even whipping them will cause them great pain."

"But this kind of pain is nothing compared to the life they lived before."

"They suffered a little hardship, but they were able to maintain their current life. Even if they are dissatisfied, it is only against the urban management."

"Moreover, no matter how much you hate those urban management officials, if someone dares to stand up and use these things to stir up trouble."

Wu Zhen paused and said with a half-smile: "Believe it or not, those people who are fleeing the famine will be the first to stand up and help the urban management against those who have ulterior motives."

After all, Master has followed Wu Zhen for many years and immediately understood what Wu Zhen meant.

He couldn't help but sigh a little: "Your Majesty, you are right. His Royal Highness has now completely tied those people together."

In this way, Wu Zhen and his master chatted for most of the night.

If there hadn't been some official business to do the next day, the two of them might have talked all night long.

Even though the Jade Rabbit is hanging high and the cicadas are chirping like a tide, the two of them don't feel the slightest bit tired.

They haven't felt this feeling for a long time.

The more they talked, the more the two of them felt that the arrangements made by Zhu Han were extremely profound.

There are some things that they can't even figure out for a while.

But unlike the previous disdain and disdain, even if you don't understand Zhu Han's meaning, you know that it's just you who didn't understand it, not Nurse Zhu Han.

That is to say, after one day with this mentality, Wu Zhen suddenly made a decision: "Master, I decided to have a good talk with His Highness."

"There should not be two voices in Datong Prefecture now. This will not be of any benefit to disaster relief."

"We were ignorant before and did not realize the true magnanimity and power of the prince."

"Now that we understand it, we can't continue to go against the prince as before."

After the master was silent for a long time, he did not stop Wu Zhen.

"I also think it's time to have a frank talk with the prince."

"Master Fu, please say something unpleasant because of your status."
