All the ministers had a vague idea in their minds.
The prince was originally wild, and Fang Zheng and his gang pushed him to the limit. In addition, he had proposed the idea of using work as relief several times.
Now that the prince has been missing for such a long time and Your Majesty's behavior is so abnormal, there is only one possibility...the prince has falsely summoned you!
But no one spoke up, for if they did, it would be too outrageous and shocking.
Therefore, when discussing this matter this time, everyone remained silent tacitly.
When Yang Yingcai jumped out, he just replied that it was not approved by the cabinet.
The situation has now reached a stalemate, the Hanlin scholars have all fallen to their knees, and His Majesty has begun to act like a rogue.

"The method of using work for relief has also been documented for a long time and has been very effective, but it has never been used on a large scale."
"But logically speaking, during this disaster, the labor cost is the lowest, the court can use the least money to do the most work, and it is very convenient to mobilize the people's manpower. It is the right time to start large-scale construction!"
"It's already difficult for the Ministry of Revenue and local governments to finance their expenditures. Once the disaster situation subsides, it will be very difficult to rebuild it."
"Therefore, the court encourages the construction of civil engineering projects. I think this is the best of both worlds."
