Chapter 385 The Compassionate Prince Yu
First of all, let’s review. . .
I have been in a mess these days due to a cold, and the content I write is not satisfactory, so I would like to apologize to everyone.
In the evening, I will send a small red envelope to the book club as a gift of apology, hoping that all the emperors can forgive me. . .
——————
Prince Yu's Mansion.
The New Year is almost here, but neither the capital nor Zhu Zaijing’s palace shows any signs of celebrating the New Year.
Wearing a woolen coat newly made by Xuanda Woolen Farm, Zhu Zaijing stood in his yard and looked in the direction of Huazhou that he could not see.
This kind of woolen cloth is a new type of woolen cloth. The raw material is mainly made of wool from Tatar. However, since this kind of cloth just appeared not long ago, most people still think that this kind of cloth is a kind of woolen cloth. Not many people are willing to wear cheap cloth that has a "smell" quality.
So in order to revitalize the new industry of Xuanda, which was finally established, Zhu Zaijing set an example and purchased a lot of this kind of woolen fabrics for himself and the female relatives in the palace.
Moreover, under the guidance of Zhu Zaijing, the tailors of the palace made certain improvements according to the windbreakers that were popular in later generations.
The current slim-fitting style is more formal and can make you look taller and taller. The shape looks a bit like a cloak, but it is different from a cloak and more similar to a coat.
Meng Chong also stood beside Zhu Zaijing and waited on him, "My lord, please come in and warm yourself up. You have been standing here for almost an hour. What should you do if you get frozen?"
< br>Meng Chong's little face was already red from the cold, and the tip of his nose was about to freeze. He called Zhu Zaijing in a trembling voice.
But Zhu Zaijing just sighed and responded: "I don't know how the people of Huazhou are doing now? I don't know if the court's disaster relief supplies are enough for them?"
When Meng Chong heard that Zhu Zaijing was still concerned about the earthquake in Huazhou, he also said: "Your Majesty, it's been almost half a month since the earthquake in Huazhou. There have been several groups of imperial envoys sent by the imperial court, so everything should be fine. "
Zhu Zaijing shook his head slightly. Zhu Zaijing knew very well how destructive the earthquake was.
Zhu Zaijing remembered that in his experience before time travel, Zhu Zaijing clearly remembered that when he was a teenager, one sleepy afternoon, he was lying on the sofa at home and watching The TV, the lamp suddenly shook, my head was dizzy, and everything in the room shook slightly.
At that time, he did not know that this was an earthquake, but as time went by, information began to be transmitted rapidly, and Zhu Zaijing realized that there was an earthquake thousands of miles away from him. A magnitude 8 earthquake.
Through the live broadcast on TV, Zhu Zaijing intuitively felt the power of the earthquake for the first time. County towns and villages one after another were shaken to pieces, and countless fresh lives were lost in this short period of time. It was over within minutes.
Countless disaster relief forces across the country have been continuously invested in earthquake relief. However, in the face of such a serious disaster, no amount of disaster relief forces is a drop in the bucket, and they cannot support the rivers and mountains shattered by the earthquake at once.
I can only watch the time passing by minute by minute.
Now an equally terrifying earthquake has occurred in the era that Zhu Zaijing is living in now. He is very upset and uncomfortable.
Because Zhu Zaijing knows very well what kind of era the Ming Dynasty is now. The disaster relief capabilities of this era are simply not the same as the disaster relief capabilities of the era he lived in before.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing could not even imagine what kind of dire straits the people of Huazhou were living in now, with no hope in sight.
Zhu Zaijing asked with a slightly hoarse voice: "Where is our disaster relief team now?"
After Zhu Zaijing determined that it was a major earthquake in Huazhou, he immediately asked Shunyi Industrial Park to organize a disaster relief team The team rushed to Huazhou, and many doctors from medical schools were also dispatched to accompany the team.
Meng Chong replied: "I received a reply yesterday. Dr. Li and the others are now almost in Huazhou. They have rescued all the way along the way. They have rescued many people who were affected by the disaster, and also gave The people affected by the disaster have distributed a lot of winter supplies. And early this morning, we sent more than 100 trucks of relief supplies and winter clothes. Your Majesty, we have done our best." Zhu Zaijing heard what Meng Chong said. Finally, he still sighed and said: "These more than one hundred trucks of disaster relief supplies and winter clothes are still a drop in the bucket, and they are simply not enough for the people in the disaster area. If you continue to urge Li Fang, let him continue to collect supplies and send them to Huazhou. No matter the cost, we must let the affected people survive this winter."
When Meng Chong heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he didn't know whether he should continue speaking.
During this period, Shunyi Industrial Park has allocated hundreds of thousands of taels of materials, which are much more than what the Ministry of Industry has allocated.
But in disaster relief, it is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much you throw into it, it may not be enough.
If this continues, the Shunyi Industrial Park’s wealth may be wiped out.
You must know that the Shunyi Industrial Park now has to support hundreds of thousands of people.
These hundreds of thousands of people have put in a lot of hard work and effort for the Shunyi Industrial Park for so many years, and they also want to live a good life with their arms around them.
But if the vitality of Shunyi Industrial Park is damaged due to a disaster relief effort at any cost, and the livelihoods of more than 100,000 people are affected, this is also a serious problem.
So Meng Chong couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, we can't go on like this. Li Fang has done their best, and we have already sent out hundreds of thousands of taels of supplies. These things were originally It’s for the workers in the Industrial Park, Xishan and the special zone to celebrate the New Year. But if we continue to send it to Huazhou without any limit, how will these workers spend the New Year?”
Zhu Zaijing heard this. After Meng Chong's words, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he also knew that what Meng Chong said was right.
The current Shunyi Industrial Park is no longer the property of Zhu Zaijing alone. It is the hope of hundreds of thousands of people near the capital. Zhu Zaijing cannot ignore the livelihood of these people and limitlessly To spread your kindness.
After all, these people also have to live and get by.
Zhu Zaijing has done his best to buy and raise the grain and other materials needed for winter in the capital that can now be purchased with money.
If he continues to buy and raise money like this, the price of goods in the capital will skyrocket, and the livelihood of most people will also be affected.
After all, sometimes money is not everything in some aspects.
So, even if Zhu Zaijing tried his best, he still purchased hundreds of thousands of taels of daily necessities.
So at this time, Zhu Zaijing could only sigh and said: "In that case, let's do this for now. When the next batch of food and other supplies from the south are delivered to the capital, Let’s buy more.”
"Now all the food that can be bought and the New Year's goods needed for the New Year should be distributed to the workers in the industrial park and Xishan. We must also let them have a good New Year. We cannot let them suffer after a year of hard work."< br>
After Meng Chong heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
These words were actually not thought up by Meng Chong, but taught to him by Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.
During this period, because Zhu Zaijing was determined to provide disaster relief, he purchased grain and other winter supplies on the ground in the capital, which has caused great fluctuations in prices in the capital.
If we don’t stop it, there will definitely be big trouble.
So at this juncture, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng could only find Meng Chong and ask Meng Chong to persuade Zhu Zaijing not to buy any more supplies from the capital and send them to Huazhou, so this scene just happened.
