    Zhu Heng finally said that if the amount of silver released by the treasury could not be reached in time, he would take the lead and donate 300 taels of silver. He would also mobilize Shandong officials to exempt themselves from their annual salaries and help the country tide over the difficulties first.  Seeing the last paragraph, Zhu Yijun¡¯s eyes became wet. He couldn¡¯t help but pat the table again and shouted ¡°Okay!¡± Such an honest and good official is hard to find even with a lantern!  Who would have known that the shark fin soup in the bowl was knocked out by tapping too hard just now, and it spilled onto the folding paper!  Zhu Yijun hurriedly moved the fold away. When he looked again, there was still a lot of soup left on the fold, which made some words blurred and the ink marks were mixed together.  He scratched his head in annoyance, but as if he was prompted by something, he looked at the shark's fin soup, then looked at the booklet, suddenly thought of something, and called out: "Come here!" A eunuch and an imperial chef came to the door in response.  Enter: "Long live my lord, what are your orders!" The emperor pointed at the eunuch: "Go and get the detailed arrangement that Feng Bao made a few days ago to save food and clothing and reduce weight by half!"  Then he pointed at the imperial chef and said, "Bring me the menu that you can save half of the dishes in the imperial kitchen!" The two agreed and hurriedly turned around to get it.  The shark's fin soup was stained with ink and mixed with a strange smell.  Fragrant, but very heavy.  The eunuch and the imperial chef quickly brought two lists and put them on the emperor's desk after a while.  The heads of the Guan Neifu and the Royal Kitchen also followed and stood quietly aside, waiting for his inquiry.  Comparing the two, he realized that the three dishes he ate today were all off the frugal reserve list, and they were all relatively luxurious dishes that had been cut off.  The first imperial chef Wang Yimao's face was a little confused. He secretly raised his head to take a look at him, then quickly lowered his head.  The emperor stared into Wang Yimao's eyes and spoke with a calm and authoritative expression: "The dishes I picked today are all the dishes that were cut after the promulgation of the economy order, right?"  He cut out his heart and showed it to the emperor: "When I return to the emperor, these dishes are indeed reduced from the list, but since the emperor wanted to eat them today, I made them for him. Moreover, the emperor has set an example recently and often eats only in  We went to the study room to simply eat some food. Firstly, there was no banquet, and secondly, there was no banquet. It had already far exceeded the original estimate of reducing expenses by one-half, and even reduced it by more than ten percent. Therefore, I will go private today.  If you can¡¯t even satisfy the emperor¡¯s desire to eat these three dishes, I would be too unkind.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it!  The emperor smiled, stood up, helped Wang Yimao and the eunuchs up, and said with a smile: "I understand, I wrongly blamed you. It's my fault. I really didn't read the menu carefully.  It's in the reduction order. You are all right. Go back. Although I have saved the ostentation, since I have agreed to issue the economy order inside and outside the palace, I must take the lead in implementing it. Otherwise, the top beam will not be straight and the bottom beam will be crooked.  Once violated, the princes and ministers will follow suit, and this saving order will become a dead letter, and it will even get worse, and the gain will outweigh the loss. You go ahead, I have decided to punish you by not eating for a day, so as to set the record straight, start with me!  The eunuchs were frightened and fell to their knees in an instant: "Your Majesty, you must not do it! You must not do it!" Wang Yimao even took a step forward while kneeling, and knocked his head hard on the ground, almost bleeding: "Your Majesty, you must not do it! You must not do it!"  , you should punish me, you can beat me, scold me, or even chop my head off, it¡¯s all my fault that I made my own decision and didn¡¯t remind you in time. You are the Son of Heaven, the most respected person in the Nine-Five-Year Plan.  I can't starve myself to death, and I can't wait to see your majesty go hungry without eating, your majesty!" But the emperor just listened quietly to what they said, and then waved his hands suddenly and made a serious face.  : "Okay! No need to say any more! I have already decided! What? You still want me to change my decision and make another mistake?" The people were stunned and kowtowed: "I deserve to die for my crime.  Don't dare!" The emperor looked at them with a smile on his face, but did not help them anymore. He just stood by the door and said, "Then just listen to me, you can go and watch the book for a while!"  Wang Yimao and the others left, filled with respect and love for the emperor.  When they were not far away, they heard someone among them whisper: "What a wise king! And the emperor treats us servants so well, we are so lucky!" Although the voice was small, it was still  Zhu Yijun vaguely heard it, and he closed the door in a good mood.  A wise king!  It seems that it is not too difficult to be a good emperor praised by thousands of people!  Of course, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of the Yellow River bursting, drive up the price of rice, and hype toilet paper. In fact,They were all caused by the Yellow River bursting.  I don¡¯t know if Lu Tiaoyang started taking action after arriving in Shandong, so he just said that Zhu Heng was standing at the front, and he really cherished ink like gold.  At this time, he looked at the zhezi on the table again, and Zhu Yijun was shocked. The soup that had been sprinkled on the zheji now dried up, but another ink stain was revealed at the end of the zhezi.  Is there an insert at the back?  "What the hell is this Zhu Heng doing? He secretly included his page behind the secret fold?"  Is he afraid that someone else will see the secret?  He put the folder under the candlestick and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there was a folder inside.  ?Tear open the last page and carefully take out the folder.  The handwriting in the middle was blurred, but the contents of the folder still surprised him!  "Long live our Emperor! I wrote this page not because I don't trust the Emperor's side, but also because I didn't think clearly. I boldly set up a folder. If the Emperor has the opportunity to see this page, it is enough to prove that the sky has eyes.  "The emperor's prosperity is all over the sky." "Dezhou, Shandong Province, was devastated and mourned everywhere. After the Yellow River died, the floods flooded, the farmland was flooded, the villages were destroyed, and the floods were followed by severe droughts in summer and autumn.  There was no harvest at all. Farmers began to eat grass roots and tree bark. Later, the grass roots were almost dug out and the tree bark was almost stripped. The victims began to die in large numbers. In many places, they only ate the grass roots and bark.  It was not uncommon to kill dead bodies and then eat living people. People traded their children for food, and sold their children for food. " People were forced to kill children for food.  But he couldn't bear to kill his own children, so he could only exchange them with each other, kill and eat each other.  Without human nature, how are we different from animals?  Even worse than animals.  Tiger poison does not even eat its seeds.  People have already exchanged their children for food. What a tragic scene it would be.  Before a person's belly is full, he has no dignity and no morality.  Zhu Yijun was frightened when he saw this. He had never imagined such a serious disaster.  And no one, including Zhang Juzheng, told him this.  He continued to read.  "But the officials in various counties in Shandong were not affected. They all used their privileges to hoard food desperately, raise food prices, and plunder the last bit of property from the people. The hungry people died of starvation and freezing.  But they don't care at all. They stick to the local area because the government is about to allocate food relief money, so they can swallow it up one by one. " "Most of the yamen in various places turn a blind eye, and they try their best to cover up the truth.  They also euphemistically say: "Only the rich need to pay all taxes. For the poor, we will never collect more than what the land can produce." In fact, all they do is to deceive the Holy Father.  "In fact, I also know that my arrival is a huge threat to their false reports and concealment of reports and enrich their own pockets. Although I once ruled Shandong and they are still afraid of it, they have already begun to jointly impeach me and try their best to squeeze me out.  "Let's go." "I am too old to die. It doesn't matter whether I am forced to leave or not. It's just pity that the people of this province are in dire straits. Once a large-scale riot breaks out, it will greatly threaten the safety of the imperial court."  I am sincere and frightened, and I implore the emperor to take decisive measures! The drought is indeed serious, but if the government suspends tax exemptions and takes disaster relief measures, it can quickly reduce the number of victims and save the people from the flood and fire!" The last few words are a bit blurry.  Zhu Yijun guessed it based on the content, and Zhu Heng proposed several measures, but they were all muddy with soup and could not be seen clearly.  Zhu Yijun thought for a while and quickly wrote two decrees.  One is a public imperial edict, and the other is a secret edict to Zhu Heng, sealed with cinnabar.  The public imperial edict is to confer Zhu Heng as a cabinet scholar, inspector of eight prefectures, and imperial envoy, and to control all officials in Shandong and all the prime minister's disaster relief affairs.  The second is to revoke all the positions of Shandong Chief Secretary Wang Huaiyuan, who had last secretly reported Zhu Heng's accusations, and demoted him to a commoner, never to be used again. Shandong Chief Secretary was first held by Zhu Heng concurrently.  The third is to send all 100,000 troops to the embankment. None of the 20,000 surveillance troops originally planned were used. All disaster relief was their own responsibility, and it was also under Zhu Heng's control, becoming the main force to dredge the new canal.  The secret order to Zhu Heng first fully affirmed him and told the emperor that Lu Tiaoyang had been sent to hold Shang Fang's sword, so that he could discuss anything with Lu Tiaoyang.  If any officials are found to be engaging in malpractice for personal gain, taking bribes and perverting the law, or if the military is found to have killed good people while taking credit for their merits, or is ineffective in providing disaster relief, they will be executed first and then punished!  There were some traditional Chinese characters that he couldn¡¯t write, so he found a dictionary on the bookshelf and compared them.?Write it.  Finally finished writing, Zhu Yijun rubbed his eyes, opened the door, and wanted to walk around to relieve the depression in his chest.  As we walked, we came to the garden next to the side hall.  He stretched his arms and kicked his legs, turned around a few times, moved himself a bit, and then pushed the guards and eunuchs away.  He took out the square handkerchief again, took a look at it, gently put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and suddenly there was a light refreshing fragrance.
