Chapter 571 If I am not happy, then no one should be happy either (1 update)

Chen Chu was arrested, and the officials of his faction were basically useless, so the next disaster relief work was a little difficult.

Fortunately, the students of the Imperial College brought by the Second Prince were young and strong, with unlimited energy. Moreover, the previous disaster relief work also allowed these young students to accumulate work experience. If they were sent out to work, the disaster relief work would not be paralyzed.

In addition, at the beginning, the young prince was worried that the Third Prince would suffer a loss when he faced Chen Chu, and Chen Chu would make trouble for the Third Prince in the matter of disaster relief, so he sent most of the large amount of food exchanged from the supermarket to the Shandong area.

Therefore, for now, the disaster relief in Shandong is going smoothly.

Even now, it has not rained for three months. If it does not rain again, the rice for disaster relief will not last long.

Moreover, if it continues like this, the spring ploughing next year will be in vain. If the spring ploughing next year cannot be guaranteed, it means that the people will still have no food to eat next year.

This is the most difficult thing at present.

The little prince has basically been looking up at the sky these days. It is really cloudless and clear. He carefully applied the knowledge he learned in the small supermarket in the past year, but there is no way to deal with this matter.

The weather was too hot, and the little prince had no appetite to begin with. In addition, he was always worried about the rain, so he lost weight visibly. In a few days, his face became twice as thin as before, and he looked even thinner. If a gust of wind blew over, people would worry that he would be blown down.

At first glance, he looked absolutely sickly!

The second prince couldn't stand it any longer, "It's not raining, no matter how hard you try, you can't make it rain. We have also done disaster relief, and if it doesn't rain, we can't do anything."

The third prince also leaned on a cane, "Look, you haven't eaten properly in a few days?"

"The wealthy families in this city, even when they encounter drought, can still enjoy themselves and live in peace and prosperity. The restaurants in this city are full of customers every day. You are the current prince, much more noble than those people, you are more qualified to enjoy yourself than them."

The little prince withdrew his gaze from the blue sky, "How can the wealthy families have it so easy?"

The third prince nodded, "They enjoy themselves in peace and prosperity, eat, drink and have fun, and live a life of luxury and waste!"

The little prince said, "This is really rich as hell! " Ah."

The second prince also nodded, "Wealth is hidden in the aristocratic families. The wealth of Daliang is not in the national treasury, not in the people, but in the aristocratic families."

The little prince: "I am not very happy now."

The third prince laughed, "You are not happy about this? It is easier for the aristocratic families to accumulate wealth. They are involved in everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. Do you think they can not make money?"

The little prince nodded, "That makes sense, but I am even more unhappy."

The second prince also laughed, "I heard that the corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes in the world's number one restaurant were also purchased by the wealthy merchants in the city. Moreover, they are very popular in their restaurants. The prices are very high, but they are very popular. I guess they made a lot of money."

The third prince also comforted him, "Don't be unhappy, eat something, there is nothing you can do if you are unhappy."

The little prince smiled, "Who said I can't do it? I am unhappy, so let these wealthy families bleed first."

The second prince and the third prince looked at each other, and they were very happy in their hearts. As long as the prince had a good meal, other things would be fine.

Then, they saw a glass restaurant opened in the city.

Very good. The dressing mirrors, dressing mirrors, small portable mirrors, and glass windows that had been popular in the capital before suddenly became popular.

Previously, due to the problems of craftsmanship and transportation, many merchants could only buy some small mirrors or crystal ornaments even if they bought from the Glass Pavilion and then resold them. There were definitely no large dressing mirrors and dressing mirrors, let alone glass windows.

Now that the Glass Pavilion is open, the wealthy families in the city have flocked in, and the little prince is really making a fortune every day.

At the same time as the Glass Pavilion opened, a glass factory was added outside the city. Like the factory in the capital, the main craftsmanship is controlled by a few craftsmen, and the other processes are divided into various processes, and each process is done by different workers.

As soon as the glass pavilion opened, a large number of disaster victims in the city went to work in the factory to earn money.

It can be said that on the day the factory recruited workers, the scene was very lively, and the people who came formed a long queue. In such a disaster year, everyone wanted to find a job to make money.

However, the glass factory did not need so many workers, and many people returned disappointed.

A glass pavilion can indeed accommodate some people affected by the disaster, but for tens of thousands of people affected by the disaster, a glass pavilion is really a drop in the bucket, and no one takes it seriously.

Then, the little prince began to repair the ship port.

A glass factory really cannot accommodate so many people affected by the disaster, but building a ship port is such a large project, and the more manpower needed, the better.

Once the port is successfully built, it will be very convenient to transport goods from the south to the north, and it will also strengthen the commercial flow between the north and the south.

Of course, after the port is built, the most profitable thing is actually the maritime trade, but this matter will definitely cause unrest in the court.

However, the little prince doesn't care about these things. He is just a prince. The unrest in the court is the emperor's business. What does it have to do with him, a little prince?

Anyway, building a port now can provide a job for the disaster-stricken people in Shandong, so that they can earn money and have money to buy food for the winter. That's enough.

The only thing to be thankful for is that in order to do a good job on the surface and reduce the suspicion of the court officials about him, Chen Chu only slightly increased the price of rice in Shandong, and it was not as exaggerated as in Gusu.

This made life a little better for the local people. In addition, the rice and grains transported by the third and second princes in time controlled the price. Anyone who had some money in hand would just have a hard time, but would not starve to death. Those

who starved to death were the ordinary people who were diligent and hardworking.

Now, the little prince has given them a long-term job so that they can earn money, and life will always be better.

In fact, disaster relief in Shandong is much easier than in Jiangnan. As long as Chen Chu is taken down, everything will be smoother.

In Jiangnan, there are more disputes between aristocratic families, and they cannot cause vicious incidents such as intimidating or robbing aristocratic families. It will be more troublesome to provide disaster relief.

Now the Jiangnan region has become stable, the four major families are already at the end of their strength, and those powerful people who rely on the cloth business for their survival are already on the verge of bankruptcy. It won't be long before they will suffer the consequences of their own actions.

Apart from being a bit of a rip-off, there is nothing wrong with the little prince's measures!
