Wu Zheng spoke a lot impassionedly, and everyone who listened nodded repeatedly, as if everyone agreed.
Even Emperor Wu did not interrupt Wu Zheng's words. Until Wu Zheng finished speaking, he nodded and seemed a little moved.
In fact, Wu Zheng's method can be summed up in three points.
First, Nanzhou City was divided into two, and the infected people were isolated in one place without any contact with the outside world.
Second, consolidate the granaries in surrounding cities and transport them to Nanzhou City to relieve the people.
Third, post a notice in the city near Nanzhou City, looking for famous doctors, and go to Nanzhou City for treatment.
As a result, the problem of doctors and food was solved, and the plague was well controlled.
No wonder Emperor Wu was satisfied. Not only did it appear to be a feasible and effective method, but it also saved a lot of money.
Prime Minister Wen looked at Wu Yuan with a proud look on his face, as if to say, "Look, this was originally an idea for you, but you didn't cherish it yourself. Now you know you regret it, right?"
However, all he received in response was Wu Yuan's contemptuous smile.
In Wu Yuan's view, this approach simply puts the cart before the horse.
I'll leave it to you to do whatever you want, it's just a pain for the common people.
Originally, the people of one Nanzhou city were suffering, but now, several surrounding cities are suffering due to Wu Zheng and Prime Minister Wen's bad ideas.
Not surprisingly, Emperor Wu finally nodded and agreed to Wu Zheng's proposal.
Other ministers were also generous in their praise.
In any case, it was all words and no money, so he praised Wu Zheng to the fullest.
Prime Minister Wen struck while the iron was hot and also said to Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, the second prince has been very diligent in the court these years and has made great progress."
"Yes, Zheng'er is still injured. You must take good care of yourself when you go back." Emperor Wu was happy and was also concerned about Wu Zheng's injuries.
The look of a loving father and a filial son made Wu Yuanzhi feel sick to his stomach.
At the same time, Wu Yuan felt an inexplicable resentment towards this emperor.
As long as he is happy, everything will be fine.
Once you dissatisfy him, you are nothing.
As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger, and this is true.
Wu Yuan said nothing, the fun was yet to come.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Wu announced his resignation from the court and all the ministers left.
"It's really boring. I must find a way to ask for leave in the future. I just stood there all morning doing a few useless things and didn't even eat breakfast."
Wu Yuan complained as he walked.
But soon, I felt someone approaching.
When he looked up, it was Prime Minister Wen and Wu Zheng coming over.
You don't need to think about it to know that these two people are here to show off again.
Is pretending to be an uncle such a happy thing?
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Wu Yuan simply stopped. Then before the two of them spoke, he said, "If you guys are here to brag, you better not open your mouth."
The two of them looked stagnant, both unhappy.
However, Wu Zheng still sneered: "Wu Yuan, you haven't gotten used to it yet, right? You obviously made great achievements yesterday, but you are left out in the cold today."
"But this is the court. If you want to have fun all the time, you have to use your brain."
Seeing Wu Zheng's proud look, Wu Yuan was really disgusted.
And Prime Minister Wen didn't forget to add insult to injury, "Second Prince, it's useless for you to say this. Some people don't look back until they hit the wall. Only when they kowtow until their heads are bleeding will they know how to live a low-key life."
Wu Yuan took out his ears, looked at the two people in front of him and said calmly: "Are you done?"
Wu Zheng and Prime Minister Wen looked at each other, both a little surprised that Wu Yuan could be so calm.
"After I finish speaking, I will say a few words."
Before the two of them agreed, Wu Yuan said: "As for your bad idea, you will see the disadvantages in less than three days. I hope you can still laugh about it by then."
After saying that, Wu Yuan turned around and left.
Wu Zheng still wanted to reach out to grab Wu Yuan, but Wu Yuan suddenly glared at him coldly, "Don't forget, I am the prince."
With one sentence, Wu Zheng's hand retracted reflexively.
After reacting, Wu Yuan had already left.
Wu Zheng cursed in his heart, he was actually frightened by Wu Yuan's look and words.
"What a prince, let's see how long you can stay in this position." Wu Zheng said bitterly.
Prime Minister Wen comforted him: "Second Prince, don't be impatient. This has just begun. The calmer he appears, the more panic he feels. After the incident in Nanzhou City is over, your status will take another step forward."
"Then let's rely on Prime Minister Wen." Wu Zheng also said politely.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, a bit like they were collaborating.
On the other side, Wu Yuan returned directly to the East Palace.
As soon as he came in, he saw Xin Ruyan waiting in the courtyard with several palace daughters.
"I heard you were reprimanded?" Xin Ruyan said with a slight frown.
Wu Yuan was stunned and said with a smile: "How can Madam be so well-informed?"
It seems that Xin Ruyan's father, Dawu's number one general, has a very strong network of connections even if he is not in the court.
"Don't underestimate me. There is nothing in the court that I don't know. Let me ask you, why didn't you recruit Prime Minister Wen instead of pushing him to Wu Zheng?"
The next few palace daughters also broke into a cold sweat for Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan said with a smile: "I don't like him."
The little cuties laughed so hard that their stomachs ached. As expected of their prince, he was so majestic.
But Xin Ruyan was very angry, "Why are you so childish?"
Seeing that Xin Ruyan was about to have another attack, Wu Yuan hurriedly left, "I still have something to do, and I have a surprise for you tonight."
After saying that, Wu Yuan greeted, "Gu Yu, Bai Lu, you two cuties, come with me."
"yes!"
Afraid of being blocked by Xin Ruyan, Wu Yuan fled quickly with the two cuties.
After running all the way to the kitchen, Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he dismissed the chef and servants in the kitchen, and Wu Yuan hugged the two little cuties one by one.
The two of them didn't struggle and took advantage of the situation to undress and take off their belts.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wu Yuan stopped him, "We still have business to do. You two are the best little cooks, especially good at making pasta, so I have an important task for you."
"If you don't obey the slave family, how can you make people work without being fed?" Gu Yu scolded very charmingly.
"That's right, there's no reason to just let the horse run without giving it grass." Bai Lu also rolled her eyes at Wu Yuan enchantingly.
Wu Yuan suddenly reined in his horse and said with one hand in each hand, "Okay, let's eat first and then work."
An hour later.
Wu Yuan was very satisfied as he watched the two energetic little cooks playing with the dough.
Tsk tsk, it’s just that in Wu Yuan’s opinion, these two little cuties are whiter and tenderer than dough, and they are delicious.
"Press harder. The essence of this instant noodle is that the dough must be chewy enough."
