If the person caught was Obai or Kangxi, he might still be interested in meeting him.
But a Feiyanggu is not necessary!
Zhu Hongyu and Wu Tuo chatted for a while, and Wu Tuo took the initiative to leave.
Glancing at the clock on the table, he saw that it was almost noon, and Zhu Hongyu immediately ordered someone to pass on 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, one soup, two meats and two vegetarian dishes!
Although these stir-fry dishes and soups are more elaborate, they are not luxurious.
Zhu Hongyu ate the food in small bites, chewing slowly.
Quite relaxing!
The maid beside him was making tea for him. The tea soup was clear and fragrant.
After finishing lunch, Zhu Hongyu put down the rice bowl in his hand, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, squinting his eyes in enjoyment.
He did not immediately start reviewing government affairs, but ordered someone to move a rocking chair and place it under the shade of a tree in the small courtyard.
I brewed a pot of tea and placed a few plates of refreshments on the table beside the rocking chair.
Zhu Hongyu lay down on the rocking chair. The rocking chair rocked back and forth gently, making a squeaking sound.
He held a copy of the Yongle Canon in his hand and was flipping through it bit by bit.
From time to time, I pick up the tea cup and take a sip of tea, or take a bite of refreshments...
The sweetness of the refreshments dissipates the slight bitterness of the tea!
Feeling the tea being sipped bit by bit on the tip of his tongue, Zhu Hongyu took another sip of tea.
Feel the warmth of the sun shining on your body and face through the mottled shadows of the trees.
Zhu Hongyu is enjoying the leisurely afternoon!
At this time, the leaves are already golden.
Therefore, even in the afternoon, the weather is not hot.
The sunlight shining on his face made him feel warm.
After a long time, a gentle autumn wind blew, and the leaves of the big tree overhead rustled under the autumn wind.
A golden leaf drifted down and landed on Zhu Hongyu's chest.
Zhu Hongyu stretched out his hand to pinch the fallen leaves, looked at the lines on the leaves, and spoke subconsciously.
"It's autumn!"
It is now the beginning of August in the 20th year of Yongli, and it will not be long before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It’s already autumn!
The autumn wind has brought a faint chill.
Zhu Hongyu guessed that the temperature was probably about to cool down.
As if he remembered something, Zhu Hongyu called the eunuch who was serving him personally.
"Xiao Linzi!"
Xiaolinzi stood under the mottled shade of the trees, feeling the silence, and was already a little drowsy.
When he heard Zhu Hongyu calling him, his expression perked up and he replied.
"Your Majesty, this servant is here!"
Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth and gave instructions.
"Go and summon the gentlemen of the cabinet. I want to discuss matters with them!"
"..."
After Zhu Hongyu gave the order, all the important civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet gathered together without letting him wait long.
Zhu Hongyu changed into regular clothes and appeared in front of everyone.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"
Zhu Hongyu sat down on the main seat and just said.
"Everyone is safe!"
After looking around for a week, Zhu Hongyu gave direct instructions.
"It's autumn, and the temperature has dropped drastically recently!"
"If the imperial court doesn't care, I'm afraid there will be many people freezing to death inside and outside Nanjing!"
"Nanjing is the most beautiful place under the emperor's feet. 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 together, arrange jobs for them, and provide them with work in exchange for relief!"
"In the first year of the Ming Dynasty's restoration of Jiangnan, the new dynasty should have a new atmosphere."
"Let's take this as the first step to rectify the homeless and beggars in Nanjing!"
We are currently in the Little Ice Age, and the temperatures are very low every winter.
Every winter, even if this is the south of the Yangtze River, a large number of homeless and beggars freeze to death in the howling cold wind every day.
In the past, several to dozens of corpses were transported outside the city every morning.
Most of them froze to death!
Zhu Hongyu didn't want to see people dying of cold and starvation, so he planned to resettle those homeless beggars who had no food or clothing.
Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong opened his mouth and said.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the factory in my home can accept some of the homeless beggars to work!"
Faced with Zhu Hongyu's many policies, Zheng Chenggong was always the first to stand up and express his support.
Zhu Hongyu has long been accustomed to this.
He just nodded and said.
"King Yanping's move has brought countless lives and immeasurable merits!"
Zhang Huangyan on the side suggested.
"Your Majesty, my opinion is that if the imperial court wants to provide relief to homeless people and beggars, the scope of relief should be expanded and cannot be limited to the city of Nanjing."
"The people in other places are also the people of my Ming Dynasty!"
"The imperial court should expand its scope and conduct centralized resettlement of beggars and refugees all over the world!"
Zhu Hongyu heard this, pondered for a while and then spoke.
"Maybe it works!"
"Let's implement it in Nanjing this winter. Let's test the waters first and get familiar with the work-for-relief method, the specific process of resettling homeless beggars, and the money, food and materials required."
"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 thing of using work-for-work relief to resettle homeless beggars.
Because this kind of thing is completely a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone!
First, it made Zhu Hongyu famous!
The second is to centrally resettle the homeless and beggars and provide them with work instead of relief, which can greatly alleviate social conflicts and ensure social security.
Solve the biggest unrest factor in the entire society!
The only drawback may be that it requires a certain amount of money.
But, then again, will working-for-relief really be a loss?
the answer is negative!
Whether it is dragging these homeless 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 the initial stage and requires a certain amount of resource investment.
This thing is almost like investing!
The more you invest in the early stage, the more you can earn later.
Seeing Zhu Hongyu personally finalizing the matter, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet all bowed down to accept the order.
Then various departments began to coordinate and dispatch resources and prepare to do things!
The propaganda department first made preparations for publicity. In the new issue of Daming Daily, it was published that the imperial court would provide work-for-relief to relieve the homeless and beggars in Nanjing. It also accumulated experience for the expanded implementation of this matter and prepared to promote it throughout the world.
As soon as this news came out, the entire city of Nanjing was praising Zhu Hongyu's kindness.
Some families have even begun to offer Zhu Hongyu’s longevity tablet.
