There is no way to answer this question. In this world, people always deceive their superiors but not their subordinates, let alone the emperor?

This person truly holds the power of life and death. If you are not careful, your entire family will be executed. No one dares to take it lightly.

"What about other places in Shandong?" Zhu Youxiao continued to ask Wu Jiye.

"Not very good." Wu Jiye thought for a moment and then said, "The situation around Jining is the most serious. People in Juye and other places have been displaced and are living in dire straits. A large number of people affected by the disaster have left their homes and are begging for food."

"Isn't the court's disaster relief grain enough?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Wu Jiye and asked slowly.

You know, earthquakes are not like droughts and floods that can easily cause people to have no food. Natural disasters like earthquakes are more likely to cause damage, such as collapsed houses, river backflow, and more casualties.

Although the land will be damaged, it will not be a complete loss. To put it bluntly, there will still be food to eat.

Under such circumstances, once the imperial relief grain arrived, it was relatively easy to deal with. As long as people were appeased and post-disaster self-rescue and reconstruction were organized in a down-to-earth manner, the impact would be minimal.

Even more people died. In this era, there were not many disaster relief methods, and the death toll was probably high. Zhu Youxiao was powerless to change this, as productivity was there.

However, most people now live in mud houses, so as long as they are not directly buried, they can basically be rescued.

Now hearing what Wu Jiye said, it was obvious that things were not as he thought.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Youxiao came out this time was very simple, it was because of the earthquake in Shandong.

You know, this earthquake did not subside so quickly, and it directly triggered Xu Hongru's rebellion.

Around the 29th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty, he joined forces with Wang Sen and his son Wang Haoxian, using the "Wenxiang Sect" (a branch of the White Lotus Sect) to organize peasants and carried out secret activities for more than 20 years, but never had the opportunity to rebel.

Why did Xu Hongru choose this time?

It was because of this earthquake. At the same time, the place where he rebelled was highly overlapped with the place where the earthquake occurred. The people who were affected by the disaster could not survive and just followed them in the rebellion.

Zhu Youxiao was not afraid of them rebelling, as they themselves could not cause any trouble. What Zhu Youxiao was concerned about was the reasons behind their rebellion.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to move the hearts of the people in this world.

What needs to be overthrown is the Ming Dynasty's officialdom.
