Chapter 529 There are always villains who want to harm me (Update 2)
The little prince shook the small cloth bag, leaving only an empty bottom. Just now it was still a bag, "Are you sure I am seeing things?"
The second prince: "..."
The second prince was speechless.
Did he eat so much?
How come he didn't know?
The second prince, who had eaten up all the snacks of the little prince, could only take on the job of harvesting corn.
At the end, he added, "I think I was wrong just now. You are still a little scary."
Especially when you are trying to trick people into doing things.
The little prince hummed a song and jumped down from the roof. The last piece of land was arranged. He was so happy!
Today is another day of harvest!
The result of the second prince's injury was achieved.
*
The little prince has been very busy this month. Rice and soybeans are OK, as the old farmers have planted them before and have their own experience. They also know how to harvest in autumn.
However, for potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, the little prince can only rely on himself. No one else knows how to do it!
The little prince, who is relied on by everyone, is actually half-full of knowledge. He only knows theory, not practice.
All the farming knowledge he has is learned from the agricultural videos in the small supermarket. He has no idea and can only harvest and store according to the methods he learned in the videos.
God knows how excited he was when he saw the yield of grain per acre!
With such high-yield crops, people all over the world can have enough food to eat and won't starve to death. Just for this reason, the little prince was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days.
It was because of his young age and deep internal strength, otherwise, if it were anyone else, he would probably be so angry that he would have to ask for a ginseng to replenish his energy.
The more excited the little prince was, the more he valued these grains, especially potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are the crops for next year!
There can't be any mistakes!
If they are not preserved well, and they rot or go bad, he will be heartbroken.
The little prince was quietly working on how to promote new crops, expand the planting range of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, and strive to make everyone well fed. The court was already in a mess.
The reason was that Shandong was hit by a severe drought, and not a single crop was harvested. Starving people were everywhere. Although two batches of rice and grain had been allocated for disaster relief, the disaster situation had not improved, and some victims had already left the capital to make a living.
Unfortunately, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Shandong was hit by a severe drought, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang were hit by heavy rains for several days. The rivers overflowed and the riverbanks were washed away. It was not just the farmland that was flooded, but villages, towns, and cities were all submerged.
Victims were everywhere, with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat.
It just so happens that these two places are the granaries of Daliang, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are the main sources of taxation for Daliang. Now that disasters have occurred in both places, people have spread rumors that the emperor has behaved improperly, and that the heaven has sent down punishment.
The two places suffered disasters, and the treasury, which had just been filled, all flowed out.
Of course, if the purpose of disaster relief can be achieved, it would be fine. As for the silver, Lu Chengtian is not worried with the Ministry of Commerce.
But unfortunately, countless silvers have been spent, but the effect of disaster relief has not been achieved.
Nine out of ten villages in the disaster-stricken areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are already empty, and it is heard that there are already epidemics in some places. Lu Chengtian looked at the memorial, anxious and angry.
Among all the civil and military officials in the court, they have the most problems on weekdays. They always complain about this and that. However, when the court really needs people, these people are not up to the task!
In fact, the situation is not as Lu Chengtian thinks. After all, there was a major reshuffle in the court before, and many important positions were replaced by people he has cultivated over the years.
But the situation is that because the young prince went crazy a few months ago in Jiangnan, a large number of officials were dismissed, basically from the big to the small, all replaced.
This did make the officialdom in Jiangnan clear, but there was a drawback. The newly appointed officials did not understand the specific situation in the local area at all.
If it was safe and stable, there would be no problem. Some time would be given to these newly appointed officials to familiarize themselves with the situation. However, they encountered a torrential rain that had not been seen in ten years.
Once the flood disaster came, the local officials were unfamiliar with the situation, which brought great difficulties to the disaster relief.
It was not the case that any official was so bold as to embezzle the disaster relief money of the court.
After all, the news of the young prince's house confiscation had spread throughout the Jiangnan area. It had only happened a few months ago, and no one dared to commit a crime against the wind. After all, no one wanted to have their newly purchased house, even the rockery and brocade carp in the garden, confiscated, leaving nothing behind.
This was the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it was another situation in Shandong.
The Shandong tour officials submitted several petitions to the court for disaster relief, and the court sent a steady stream of money for disaster relief, but there was no effect, as the victims had all rushed out of the capital.
Lu Chengtian was unhappy, and the pressure in the court was even lower.
At this time, the fearless Yu Shi wanted to divert the target and the war, so he impeached the young prince.
"Your Majesty, there is a rumor in the capital today that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has invited many people to the Imperial Palace to taste delicious food . Students from the academy in the capital and even the Imperial College are among them, and even the teachers of the academy have gone as promised."
"Now Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all affected by natural disasters. The people are displaced and hungry. What's worse, there are starving people everywhere. However, the Crown Prince, as the master of the Eastern Palace and the future crown prince, has no regard for the suffering of the people. He indulges in pleasure and indulges in extravagance to satisfy his appetite. This is really wrong."
"Please make a wise decision, Your Majesty!"
Lu Liang spoke every word loudly.
If it were usual, all officials would definitely stand up and agree with Yu Shi without thinking.
However, considering that the emperor had brought the prince to teach him before, although only for a few days, he later appointed the Duke of Zhenguo and handed the prince over to him for teaching, and even sent the seventh prince there, the ministers had not yet figured out the emperor's intentions, so they did not dare to interfere at this time.
If the emperor really wanted the prince to succeed him, and they interfered, and when the prince really ascended the throne, there would be a big reckoning, then they would all be held responsible, and no one would be able to escape.
However, this was only the thought of some court officials.
There were also some ministers in the court who had been in an independent camp from the beginning and were naturally political enemies of the prince. Some time ago, Lu Chengtian suddenly brought the prince to teach him, and this group of people were the most nervous.
At this time, naturally, this group of ministers was the most excited. When they heard that there was a historian impeaching the prince, they immediately couldn't wait to speak out in agreement.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the heir apparent of the state. Now the people of Daliang are in dire straits. The Crown Prince not only does not know how to share Your Majesty's worries and relieve the people's suffering, but he is also so greedy for food and drink, holding banquets and inviting many students from the capital. This is really inappropriate. Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"
"Your Majesty, the matter of the Crown Prince has spread throughout the capital, causing public resentment. Your Majesty, please make a wise judgment!"
"I second the motion."
"I second the motion."
Lu Chengtian looked at the officials below. There were those who defended the historical platform, civil officials, and military generals. How could his unfortunate son be so unpopular?
Lu Chengtian said indifferently, "Okay, you tell me, how should I deal with the Crown Prince?"
