Chapter 325: Disaster Camp (Part 2)

"Your Highness, there is no enough food. If this continues, I'm afraid I can't hold on for even three days!" A middle-aged man's heartfelt voice came from the room.

"How could it be not enough? Didn't the court allocate enough food to provide disaster relief? What about the food now? It's not that your Ministry of Revenue has deducted it?" Zhu Yunwen's angry questioning came.

"Your Highness, don't swear by others. Our Ministry of Revenue has the courage to deduct food for disaster relief. You must know that this is the capital!" The middle-aged man inside seemed a little anxious and immediately argued loudly that deducting food for disaster relief is indeed the case, but it also depends on the situation. In places like Beijing, they would not dare to lend them a hundred courages. After all, Old Zhu kept staring at it, and accidentally peeling the skin and grass.

"Why can the grain last for three days?" Zhu Yunwen inside asked in annoyed again.

Just as Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, Lao Zhu outside finally couldn't help but walk in. He saw Zhu Yunwen and a middle-aged official in the room were confronting each other with a red face. The two were shocked when they saw Lao Zhu and immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Yun Wen, what are you arguing about?" Old Zhu asked with a calm face.

"Your Madam, grandson came to provide disaster relief. The Ministry of Revenue promised to mobilize enough food after the meeting. However, just a few days after the disaster relief, the head of the Hu said that there was not enough food, so I was very annoyed." Zhu Yunwen replied with a grievance.

Lao Zhu turned his head and looked at the middle-aged official, and immediately said, "Your name is Hu Bei, tell me what's going on?"

Director Hu also said with a grievance at this time: "Your Majesty, for this disaster relief, our Ministry of Revenue has indeed prepared enough food, but it takes time to mobilize grain, so we need to be transferred to the capital in batches. The first batch of grain was originally enough to last fifteen days, but now seven days have passed, and the remaining grain is only enough to last for three days. This..."

Master Hu didn't dare to continue talking at the end, but he looked at Zhu Yunwen next to him. It was obviously enough for the food he used for fifteen days, but now it was only enough for ten days. Obviously, there was only one reason, that is, Zhu Yunwen used it too much.

Zhu Yunwen was not stupid either. At this time, he immediately understood what Chief Hu meant, and immediately argued for himself: "Grandpa, there are so many victims outside, and even the victims starved to death every day. His grandson also wanted the victims to eat enough, so he increased the efforts to release food, but he did not expect that the food prepared by the Ministry of Revenue was not enough."

"Then have you not counted the amount of food before you released the grain?" Zhu Biao finally couldn't help asking. As an official in charge of releasing grain, the first thing he did was to count the food, and then check the number of victims and make a plan to release grain. If there was no plan, start releasing grain. It would be strange if there was no chaos?

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Biao said something, Zhu Yunwen's face turned red immediately, and he couldn't speak. Obviously, he had not counted the food in advance, let alone any plans.

Lao Zhu's face was even more ugly at this time. Originally, he had a very good evaluation of Zhu Yunwen. Even with the previous massacre, he felt that Zhu Yunwen was too young and had no deep understanding of people's hearts, so it was not a big problem. However, after walking around the disaster camp today, he was disappointed. If Zhu Yunwen was an ordinary official, with his current performance, he could definitely be called "mediocre official".

"Hu Bei, is the amount of food in the south of the city the same as here?" In the end, Old Zhu ignored Zhu Yunwen, but turned his head and asked Master Hu again.

"Report to Your Highness, the equipment of the two disaster camps in the north and south of the capital is the same!" Hu Bei also replied immediately.

"Let's go! Go to the south of the city!" Old Zhu said and turned his head and left, but after just taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something, so he ordered again, "Yun Wen, come with you too!"

Zhu Yunwen immediately agreed, and then followed Zhu Biao honestly. Li Jie next to him glanced at him, but said nothing.

In fact, Li Jie felt that Zhu Yunwen's performance was very normal, because this was Zhu Yunwen's true level. In history, he lost the country that Zhu Zhu gave him. He obviously had a lot of kings in his hands, but he thought that one thing could be done, and even a single vassal could cause chaos in the world. To be honest, Li Jie felt that even if Emperor Chongzhen of the late Ming Dynasty was placed in Zhu Yunwen's position, he could be ten thousand times better than him.

A group of four people got on the carriage and walked through the capital to the Jubao Gate in the south of the city. The disaster camp under Zhu Yunyu was located outside the city gate. When Lao Zhu and the others got off the carriage, they were all stunned.

Compared to Zhu Yunwen's disaster camp, the disaster camp in front of him is a bit different. There is a lively scene everywhere here. Many ragged victims built houses, roads and other facilities under the command of officials, which is completely a large construction site under construction.

After being surprised, Lao Zhu immediately stepped into the disaster camp. He saw that most of the people who work were strong men. In addition to the officials who commanded, some of the victims were also responsible for supervising workers, so that the people who work could not be lazy. In a corner of the camp, many women were burning fires and cooking in the already-built shed.

If you walk further into the camp, you will soon arrive at a built area. Although the houses inside are simple, they can at least be occupied. Some elderly and women are responsible for taking care of their children. From time to time, children who are fighting will run past Li Jie and the others. If you don’t know that they are victims, you may think this is an ordinary village.

The entire camp was surrounded by fences, and there were special officials responsible for leading people to inspect, so the public security of the disaster camp was also guaranteed, and the sanitation was countless times stronger than that of the disaster camp in the north of the city. In particular, the victims here performed their own duties, and everyone had something to do, and even the children were more energetic than the victims in the north of the city.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Lao Zhu's face finally looked much better. Then he planned to ask Zhu Yunyu, but when he came to the place where he handled official business, he was empty. Finally, he asked the officials in the camp and found Zhu Yunyu from the team digging wells behind the camp. However, he was like a clay man now. Unfamiliar people might not recognize him as His Royal Highness.

"See Grandpa Emperor, Father!" Zhu Yunxiu was also very surprised when he saw Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao. He immediately wiped his face and saluted, but his face was covered with blue mud, and he couldn't wipe it clean.

"Yun Yu, why are you doing this?" Zhu Biao was the first to ask when he saw Zhu Yun Yu's appearance.

"My father didn't know that there were no wells in the disaster camp, and he had to take water several miles away to carry water back. It was very troublesome, so I organized people to dig a few wells. It just so happened that I knew some geography, so I helped myself." Zhu Yunsheng explained with a smile. He learned a lot from Li Jie, especially in the Xuzhen Academy.

"Yun Yu, I asked you to provide relief to the victims. Why did you build villages and towns here? Do you want the victims to settle down in the capital?" Lao Zhu asked with a stern face at this time.

As soon as Lao Zhu said that, Li Jie immediately noticed that Zhu Yunwen next to him looked happy, and seemed to hope that Lao Zhu would scold Zhu Yunyu. Although he also saw that Zhu Yunyu's camp was much stronger than his side, the more he did, the more jealous he became.

"Grandpa of the emperor calmed down. The grandson did not want the victims to settle here, but wanted to find something for them. After all, the relief of the victims cannot be simply distributed food. Otherwise, after the victims are full, they will definitely cause some trouble when they are idle!" Zhu Yunxiu reported the report without panic.

"Huh? Where did you learn these principles of training soldiers?" Old Zhu asked in surprise when he heard Zhu Yunxi's words. Anyone who has trained soldiers knows one truth, that is, when practicing soldiers, they must squeeze out their strength and then use military discipline to restrain the soldiers. Otherwise, a group of energetic middle-aged men gathered together, and it will not take long for the military camp to cause chaos!

"My grandson used to study martial arts often and learned some military tactics, so when resettling refugees, he also thought of the management methods of the military camp, so he applied them!" Zhu Yunsheng replied immediately.

"No wonder I just felt that the layout of the disaster camp looked familiar. Now I think it is indeed a bit like a military camp!" Zhu Biao also slapped his hands and laughed. The disaster camp was orderly, and the division of many places was indeed done according to the military camp.

"It's not bad, it's rare to be able to learn and apply it well, without sticking to the contents in the book!" Old Zhu finally showed a smile and praised Zhu Yunxi, which made Zhu Yunwen's face darker afterwards, and his eyes looking at Zhu Yunxi even more jealous.

"Grandpa Xie's praise, grandson is just fulfilling his responsibilities!" Although Zhu Yunxiu was very happy, he still calmed down and replied. However, he also looked at Zhu Yunwen when he spoke. When he saw the other party's jealous gaze, he showed a proud smile and was greatly satisfied.

You should know that Zhu Yunwen was always jealous of Zhu Yunwen, because in any aspect, Zhu Yunwen performed better than him, which also hit Zhu Yunwen and he lost his confidence in studying. However, he did not expect that now the feng shui is changing, and it was Zhu Yunwen's turn to be jealous of him.

"Well~ Your Majesty, why not let Yunxi take us to visit the private camp in detail. If there are any shortcomings, please help him correct me!" At this time, Li Jie suddenly coughed and stepped forward. He was mainly afraid that Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao would see the pride on Zhu Yunxi's face, so he came out to change the topic. At the same time, he also reminded Zhu Yunxi in his words to avoid being proud.
