Chapter 209: The Crown Prince's Help
After hearing Lu Shuyun's words, the people in the hall did not speak immediately. Most of them agreed to drive the refugees to the North. They did not expect that the matter that they thought could be solved easily would now become so difficult. .
After a while, the Minister of Household Affairs said: "His Majesty's attitude is very clear. The imperial court will never give food to the North. The only way now is to raise food ourselves and send it to the North so that the refugees can eat in the North."
"But in this case, I'm afraid we will need the cooperation of all the major families in Jiangnan."
Originally, the matter of dealing with the refugees should be a matter for the court, but now Emperor Xia has completely left it to the prince Lu Shuyun. If Lu Shuyun cannot handle the issue of the refugees well, he may not be able to be the prince for a few days.
The first political matter was not handled well. Officials from other prince factions would not miss this opportunity. His position as the prince was not right in the first place. If Emperor Xia had not compromised with the Jiangnan family, he might not have been able to become the prince.
Now that Dawu is in civil strife, Da Qian is also in civil strife, and there is no external pressure on Da Xia. Emperor Xia can easily depose him as the crown prince.
As long as officials from the other prince factions put pressure on him, Emperor Xia would follow suit and depose him as the crown prince. At that time, officials from the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family faction would not be able to say anything. After all, Lu Shuyun did not handle the refugee rebellion well.
After hearing the words of the Minister of Household Affairs, Wang Yong, who was the spokesperson of the Wang family, said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the Jiangnan Family absolutely supports His Highness the Prince. We are willing to donate food to the refugees and help the court solve the refugee crisis."
Seeing that Wang Yong, the spokesperson of the Wang family, had said this, the Minister of Hubu immediately said: "If the Jiangnan family is willing to donate food to the refugees, then we will tell the refugees that as long as they are willing to go to the North, we will give them a year's rations. ”
Lu Shuyun thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a solution."
If the Jiangnan Family is willing to donate food to the refugees, then the Jiangnan Family will gain a good reputation, and Lu Shuyun will also solve the refugee chaos, which will be a good thing for everyone.
However, Lu Shuyun thought of something at this time and continued: "The food donated by the Jiangnan family may not be enough. It is best to find a way to lure the refugees to other feudal countries and let the vassal kings help solve the chaos of the refugees."
After hearing this, the Minister of Household Affairs said: "Your Highness, this method is good. I heard that King Qi tried his best to send the refugees to the North in order to solve the refugee chaos in the feudal country. He not only lowered the price of food to the North, but also sent It’s a year’s worth of food for the refugees.”
"Since these refugees are unwilling to go to the Northern Kingdom, then send them to other feudal kingdoms. When they go to other feudal kingdoms, the vassal kings of those feudal kingdoms will naturally find ways to send those refugees to the Northern Kingdom."
"In this way, the pressure on His Royal Highness will be much less."
After hearing the words of the Minister of Household Affairs, the sadness on Lu Shuyun's face gradually dissipated.
Now that the method is there, just do it next.
In the next half month, Lu Shuyun followed the method they discussed. On the one hand, he promoted the Jiangnan family's donation of food to the refugees in a high-profile manner. On the other hand, he sent some refugees to other feudal states on the grounds that the vassal king had to fulfill his obligations. .
After those feudal countries accepted the refugees, the first thing they did was to send envoys to the Northern Kingdom to negotiate with the Northern Kingdom about accepting the refugees.
Lu Chen originally just wanted some food rations for the refugees, but later he found that many vassal kings came to him, so he put forward more conditions, especially regarding the circulation conditions of goods from the North.
Lu Shuyun's move really helped Bei Guo a big favor. For a long time, whenever Lu Chen thought about Lu Shuyun's sexy moves, he would laugh from ear to ear.
If the North Country can develop, Lu Shuyun will definitely have a share of the credit, and it will be a big contribution.
Spring is gradually passing and summer is coming. The population of the North Country is increasing. Almost the entire spring, Lu Chen has been dealing with the issues of refugees.
North Palace.
study.
Lu Chen was processing the documents for the resettlement of the refugees. At this time, a guard in golden clothes said at the door: "Your Majesty, there is information from Su Fengcheng."
Lu Chen said calmly: "Bring it in."
Then Jin Yiwei entered the study and placed the newly arrived information in front of Lu Chen. Lu Chen opened the information and glanced at it.
The next moment, a smile appeared on Lu Chen's face. He did not expect that the Chu family would let Chu Xiong and the rest of the Chu family leave so easily. Originally, he thought that the Chu family was afraid of weakening their strength, so they would do everything possible to prevent them from leaving.
As a result, the Chu family not only did not stop it, but also let Chu Xiong go north with the food donated by the Chu family to the refugees.
But having said that, it is also beneficial for the Chu family to do this. On the one hand, the opposition forces within the Chu family have disappeared. From now on, the Chu family will have only one voice. This is not very satisfying for the new head of the Chu family.
On the other hand, by letting Chu Xiong go north with the food donated by the Chu family to the refugees, the Chu family can also take the opportunity to publicize that Chu Xiong is the former head of the Chu family after all.
The Chu family is such a big family, and the previous head of the family personally brought so much food north to donate to the needy refugees. This move of the Chu family instantly gained the people's favorability.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the study again.
"My lord, are you in the study? There is a piece of information here that may be of great interest to you."
After hearing what the vixen said, Lu Chen immediately said to the Jin Yiwei next to him: "You go down first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the words fell, the Jinyiwei soldier turned around and left the study. Seeing the Jinyiwei open the door and come out of the study, Wang Qingci immediately entered the study and closed the door.
Lu Chen sat at the desk, stamping the official document and asked: "Tell me, what information I am interested in?"
Wang Qingci smiled and said: "I wonder if you are interested in the information about the eldest princess of the Dawu Dynasty?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the seal also stopped in mid-air. He looked up at Wang Qingci.
Today, Wang Qingci was wearing a red long skirt, which wrapped her curvy body. The silk long skirt was looming, which aroused infinite reverie.
Lu Chen asked curiously: "The eldest princess of the Dawu Dynasty? What has she done recently?"
"I remember you said she went to the Dayue Dynasty not long ago, right?"
Wang Qingci replied: "She was indeed in the Dayue Dynasty a month ago, but..."
At this point, Wang Qingci hesitated.
Seeing Wang Qingci was talking halfway, Lu Chen said calmly: "But what? Just finish your words. I think you haven't been punished by me for too long, and your skin is itching again."
Since Lu Chen became a grandmaster, Wang Qingci has hardly returned to the Northern Prince's Mansion except for reporting intelligence.
In addition, Lu Chen's focus during this period was on Chu Qingli and Yelu Nanyan, which made Wang Qingci never feel how fierce Lu Chen, who became a grandmaster, was.
