"Master..."

Zhu Youxiaojing lay on the imperial desk and rested, and suddenly heard a soft call.

He was very familiar with the voice, so he smiled and said:

"Where Zhongxian, why are you here?"

Wei Zhongxian got the emperor's instructions and then slowly stepped into the Western Warehouse. After walking all the way to the imperial case, he pinched his shoulders for Zhu Youxiao and said with a smile:

"It's nothing, I just miss the emperor."

"Come on," Zhu Youxiao also smiled, "Since you are here, you must have something important. Tell me, I'll listen."

"God is wise." Wei Zhongxian habitually flattered, "It's the matter of the official road of Beijing and Tibet. The Ministry agreed that it was to rebuild it."

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, but his face faded.

Wei Zhongxian still pinched, even the force in his hand was stable, and said:

"The emperor doesn't know yet? There are many refugees coming to Beijing in recent days. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue has almost gone too busy."

"Oh? Why didn't you report this to me earlier?" Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows and told him not to pinch it anymore, then loosened his shoulders.

Wei Zhongxian came to one side, stood respectfully, and said:

"It was Song Xi, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, who embezzled thousands of vacant houses from somewhere, and then maintained the situation."

These words made Zhu Youxiao take a look.

Can Zhu Youxiao not know about this?

The affairs of refugees have been reported to the government for a long time, and the situation of the locust plague in Shandong has always been following. It is surprising that Wei Zhongxian did not come to seek credit this time.

This old guy is still very cunning.

Zhu Youxiao laughed: "Song Xi, give it to Xi! This name is well received, he is here to me Song Xi."

"Zhongxian, let's continue to draw an order and give him the same merit as usual! Just... be promoted to be a member of the Ministry of Revenue!"

"If Doctor Song knew about it, he would definitely thank Tian Haolang." Wei Zhongxian's face was also full of joy, as if he was happier than hearing the reward, and said:

"Old Master, the matter of refugees has been temporarily alleviated, but the locust plague in Shandong will not be eliminated for a day, and there will only be more and more refugees."

"This reconstruction of the official road in Beijing and Tibet can also provide a large number of laborers, killing two birds with one stone."

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said:

"When did you get like this? What's wrong? Just say, am I the kind of unreasonable person?"

"Is it because the Ministry of Revenue's deposit in the internal treasury this time is not enough?"

"God is wise..." Wei Zhongxian exclaimed and hurriedly knelt down:

"This is the case. I thought that after all, I was closer to my master, so I took the initiative and took on this job. Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Forgive your sins?" Zhu Youxiao laughed: "What kind of sins are you forgivating? This time I will not only not punish you, but also remember your merits!"

Looking at Wei Zhongxian who was happy, Zhu Youxiao said lightly:

"For specific matters, wait until the cabinet presents the ministry's proposal. If they are really worried, you can go back and give a letter of approval and say that the money is not a problem."

After so many years of preparation, do you think it was a waste of time?

If I had known that there would be major disasters every year, how could I not prepare more funds for turnover?

Zhu Youxiao, a modern person, still knows this very well.

"Your Majesty is wise and after rebuilding the official road of Beijing and Tibet, the Expeditionary Force will be able to succeed and return in triumph! Uszang and Qinghai will surely return to the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed and pointed at him with his eyes: "Okay, don't flatter me here. It's midnight, are you upset?"

"Abide by the order, I will take my leave, and the emperor will rest." Wei Zhongxian smiled, squeezed out the folds on his face, and then bowed and retreated.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian leaving the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao's smile disappeared instantly, and replaced by deep worries between his eyebrows.

As for Wei Zhongxian, after going out, he also found that he was sweating a lot all over his body.

It is not a good job to be with the emperor, especially when he seems young but is actually very scheming.

tired!

Wei Zhongxian felt tired. Because he was too powerful, the emperor would inevitably have some defense. Before Wen Tiren entered the cabinet and Zhejiang Party entered the court, he did not dare to be careless in every word and every subtle expression.

However, this time he came out, he had almost one thing he could conclude: when he was talking about rebuilding the official road and recruiting refugees, he had said the right thing and got it right.

And now it seems that the emperor has no intention of killing the donkey. It seems that there is no need to worry too much, just do your own job well.

He breathed a sigh of relief, he came out of the Ming Sect with arrogance.

......

On August 15, the fifth year of the Tianqi period, the cabinet meeting with six ministries to discuss and rebuild the official road in Beijing and Tibet. The memorial was submitted to the Ganqing Palace and approved the execution the next day.

Soon, the capital Shuntian Prefecture, Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture and the Central Plains provinces and prefectures issued notices one after another, announcing the world that the court was about to start a major road construction.

Because the expeditionary force was imminent, the official road was only rebuilt and repaired on the original basis, but this was still a very large project.

Zhu Youxiao distributed 10 million taels of silver to be used for construction, and the strict order was led by the Ministry of Works, and the Qing officials and officials of all provinces and prefectures led the local governments to implement the implementation together.

The supervision departments of various local governments of the Jinyiwei also received orders to strictly investigate corruption and illegal activities such as officials' corruption and refugees' failure to receive good treatment.

The Ministry stipulated that the reconstruction scope of the Beijing-Tibet official road will be carried out through the seven places of Jiejifu, Xuanfu, Datong, Ningxia, Miyun, Wuszang and Qinghai.

The first batch of workers will give priority to recruiting homeless refugees who are in other places.

It is precisely in order to express the importance of resettlement of refugees that the Ministry of Revenue was inspired by Zhu Youxiao and the treatment of workers was the most generous in all dynasties.

The most common refugees who are included in local labor camps have a national unified standard of "one or two cents of daily work-related food". Yes, the wages have been changed from monthly settlement to daily settlement.

This is also a policy that temporarily changes the policy considering that most refugees are penniless and need money urgently.

After all, the emperor paid a lot of money and gave 10 million taels at one time. With so much money, the Ministry of Revenue seems to be very confident when arranged.

Why is it said that this is the highest in history?

You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, although the price of temporary employment of workers in all dynasties has not been customized since Hongwu, one thing has not changed, that is, it is the lowest "wage" among all serious occupations.

During the Tianqi period, a large number of workers were employed for the first time, and their wages were almost the same as those of the "state-owned enterprise employees" who had previously retired.

Even if the refugees saw this kind of treatment, no one dared to believe that it was true.

In other words, if the construction period this time can reach one year, each of the first batch of employed workers will get an annual income of more than 40 taels!

At this time, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the 300,000 in later generations.

Such high-standard treatment shows that the imperial court is rich and powerful, and the calmness of Emperor Tianqi, and where the news spreads, people's hearts are settled.

The refugees were grateful to the emperor.

With the support of funds, notices on recruiting workers in various places have been successively issued, and the recruitment offices are surrounded every day.

Of course, there are many people who are not refugees who want to gangsters, but these small matters are managed by the Supervisory Department and local governments.

The Emperor of Apocalypse in the Forbidden City blamed himself for a piece of news.
