Although General Chang supports Lin Zhu's approach, he must discuss it carefully with the emperor to make this matter more perfect. If there is a loophole in one of the links, then as the first person to propose it, Lin Zhu will definitely be punished
A lot of blame.
According to common sense, General Chang is the emperor's father-in-law, and Concubine Lan has added a new prince to the emperor, so the relationship with the emperor is even closer. However, General Chang has always upheld the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, and still has no disrespect for the emperor.
place.
Therefore, the emperor has always respected General Chang very much. When he heard what General Chang said, he was surprised at first, and then he heard that it was Lin Zhu who suggested it first, and he couldn't help but think deeply.
As for Lin Zhu, the emperor first paid attention to her because of Mu Qiyue. She had such special white rice and produced a lot of good things. In addition, the pregnancy of Empress Lan seemed to have her influence.
Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor, Lin Zhu was also a very intelligent and even capable person.
In addition, Mu Qiyue has an unusual friendship for Lin Zhu, and the emperor is also happy to see the success of this matter. If it weren't for Lin Zhu's identity, it is easy for others to criticize him, and there are still some people who are worried about his mistakes and want to see it.
He had already made a decree to fulfill Mu Qiyue's good deeds for the royal family members he laughed at.
Therefore, the emperor carefully thought about Lin Zhu's idea of exchanging work for food. He believed that this was completely feasible and might even leave a good story.
Moreover, Lin Zhu had made preparations in advance and had prepared a lot of food reserves. With his support, it would not be difficult to succeed as long as he guarded against some villains who were unscrupulous for profit.
So the emperor asked General Chang to do it boldly and confidently. He had his backing behind everything.
Now that the emperor has agreed, General Chang has nothing to worry about. And what the emperor means is that if this thing is done beautifully, then it will definitely benefit Lin Zhu. Maybe her identity will no longer be hers.
The marriage with Mu Qiyue was hindered.
"Thank you, grandpa, for taking your trouble." Lin Zhu was very moved when he saw General Chang running around for his own affairs.
"It's nothing." General Chang waved his hand, "Let Chang Yi wait for you to help you handle it. This matter must be done in every detail and no one will find any mistakes." General Chang warned Lin carefully.
Zhu, the words also conveyed that this was the emperor's intention.
After listening to this, Lin Zhu felt confident in his heart that he would take the lead here to show off, so that the emperor could learn from it and perhaps make the emperor's prestige even greater.
Therefore, Lin Zhu ordered Feng Yuanbo and Chang Shi to take the lead in finding those refugees who were willing to work in exchange for food.
At first, a lot of people didn't understand why Lin Zhu did this, and they thought it was too much. It was not a good deed at all.
The intervention of General Chang's Mansion did not make Lin Zhu's actions recognized by the powerful people in the capital, and more people thought that she was trying to please others. Everyone was watching, waiting to see her jokes.
"Are things going well?" Lin Zhu didn't take her doubts to heart. Instead, she discussed various matters with Chang Shi and Feng Yuanbo at home about recruiting refugees.
"According to the girl's request, the people we are looking for are all innocent, and the people they recommend have also found out their origins." Chang Shi and Feng Yuanbo both have the information on the refugees they have recruited. There are also
He explained how he was placed and showed it to Lin Zhu.
"Uncle Ten, just look at the arrangements." Lin Zhu waved his hand without taking the information, "Grandpa's uncle and the others will also help. Just be careful not to let these refugees be deceived by people with ulterior motives.
The most important thing is stability.”
Lin Zhu knew that it was just the beginning and she had not seen any results, so no one had troubled her yet. Especially because of General Chang's intimidation, everything had been going smoothly.
However, this does not make Lin Zhu feel relieved. As long as he uses food to hire refugees and develops in a good place, he will definitely attract the attention of all parties.
These refugees came out to beg for food because their families could no longer survive. As long as they could survive this difficulty, many of them still wanted to return to their hometowns, so they could only hire people. But others were not as enlightened as Lin Zhu.
They gave him some food and wanted to use him all his life. Then, these refugees who were still free became slaves.
Once you are a slave, you will never be able to stand up again. You cannot become a good citizen within three generations, let alone let your descendants study and get ahead. One generation is a slave, and every generation will be a slave.
Lin Zhu believes that his method is like providing timely help to those who are forced to leave their hometowns to find a way to survive.
For this reason, Lin Zhu had to meet Chang Shi and Feng Yuanbo every day to listen to them talk about the progress of the matter. Fortunately, General Chang had first-hand information when he asked her about it.
Speaking of which, Feng Yuanbo and Chang Shi were both very capable people, and the recruitment of refugees went very smoothly. The first hundred people recruited had already been sent to work at the farm that Lin Zhu had recently bought.
The newly purchased farm will need to carry out a series of farmland irrigation projects. Although Mr. Du and Du Bin got some manpower from the Ministry of Industry early in the morning to help measure and design the project details, the manpower here in Linzhu was not enough at that time. Now they can
Okay, finally we have enough people to do it.
Although the price of food is soaring every day, Lin Zhu has a lot of food and can provide workers with three meals a day, so it is not difficult at all.
Everyone who was recruited was full of gratitude to Lin Zhu. At that time, there was really no other way, so they had the courage to agree to this seemingly unreasonable thing of using work for food. At that time, no one thought that this employer
He actually kept his promise. Not only was he able to eat every day, but he was also provided with a place to live. Although it was a bit rough, it was much better than sleeping on the street.
Within a month, Lin Zhu's new farm had completely changed. Not only did General Chang send people to check it out, but the Emperor also secretly sent people to guard it day and night.
Not only the farm, but also the 500 people later recruited through Feng Yuanbo and Chang Shi managed the farm of General Chang's family very well. Even the fields that were not so good before have been transformed into good fields that can guarantee harvests despite droughts and floods.
Moreover, Lin Zhu also suggested to General Chang that if these people were dispatched by the government to build some city walls or roads, they would definitely achieve very good results.
In fact, the changes in Linzhu Farm alone are already very shocking in the eyes of some experts. They all depend on the sky, but no one can be sure of the pulse of the sky, and who knows when it will become angry.
It's raining. With water storage channels and ditches like those in Linzhu Grange, we can survive even a severe drought like this year.
Therefore, some people who thought they could establish a relationship with General Chang's Mansion came to the General's Mansion. They wanted to get advice on building ditches in the farm.
Whether it was General Chang or Lin Zhu, neither of them had any secrets. They told all the methods to those who came to ask. As long as they are willing to send people, the people in the General's Mansion will definitely teach them their methods.
human.
As a result, many people returned home satisfied. By the way, those who reciprocated the favor, and within their capabilities, also recruited many refugees to work. This greatly reduced the pressure on the capital to resettle the refugees.
Through such operations, the emperor became more confident in the method proposed by Lin Zhu. Although there were still some objections from the upper court, the emperor still asked people from the Ministry of Industry to make arrangements to recruit refugees and do some needed construction in the capital.
The project is gone.
However, the emperor also sent confidants to infiltrate these people. After all, Lin Zhu had already warned that the distribution of food was a major matter, and no one was allowed to tamper with it. If someone wanted to enrich themselves, wouldn't it be a harm?
Due to the majesty of the emperor, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen.
Although Lin Zhu had made preparations in all aspects, she could not intervene in other people's affairs except her own, so things like withholding food or distributing low-quality food often happened.
But rumors always spread at a very fast speed, so whenever something happens to a company, it is always known to everyone quickly. This is a good thing, but it does not bring benefits. It really makes some people feel embarrassed.
There is no light on the surface. So after rectifying many people who were tampering with it, everything is developing in a good direction. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
