"I said that the villagers can't live any longer."

Hu Guoyong sniffed and continued: "Fengyang's hometown has also been hit by disasters in the past two years, and the villagers don't have enough to eat.

In order to build Zhongdu, they gritted their teeth, so forget it. Building their hometown is also the wish of all the villagers.

But the bad thing is that when they build their own hometown, they have to bring their own food and money.

When the money is spent and the food is eaten, but they are not given food rations, how can people live?"

There is a river in front of Fengyang and a Huai River behind it. It can rely on dangers and can water canals.

There are two natural dangers in the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and waterway transportation is very convenient.

However, these two rivers have become a disaster due to severe flooding in the past two years.

"Didn't we exempt the villagers from taxes and grain taxes for three years? Also, how could we not distribute rations when we levy a tax?"

"It is true that taxes were exempted, but the villagers' land was flooded. After the flood receded, most people's houses collapsed.

Even if it doesn't collapse, the home won't be a family anymore.

I don’t know how many people died in the flood." Hu Guoyong burst into tears, "Those are our fellow villagers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's veins popped out on his forehead, "Call Li Shanren. This is not what he told us before!"

Li Shanren just said that there was a disaster in Fengyang and that relief could be arranged.

He exempted Fengyang from taxes and allocated money and grain. He had always thought that although there was a disaster in Fengyang, it should be controlled.

Look now, this is not the case at all!

"Keep talking!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, clenching his fists.

"Your Majesty, when you built the Yingtian Palace, everything was simple, strong and practical, and the Zhongdu Palace was made with the most gorgeous and exquisite work in a thousand years.

But this honor failed to bring benefits to the fellow villagers. The people who were recruited did not have time to repair their homes, had no food to eat, no warmth to wear, and no food to grow. Didn't this force them to die?" Hu Guoyong knelt down and said: "Please

Your Majesty can stop the construction of Zhongdu and give the villagers room to breathe!"

Liu Ji thought to himself, Hu Guoyong is really powerful, this knife struck Zhu Yuanzhang directly in the heart.

Lao Zhu is a person who has feelings for his hometown, otherwise he would not regard Fengyang as the central capital.

The people in the Huaixi Group had similar ideas to Lao Zhu, so when Lao Zhu mentioned this matter, they immediately hit it off.

For this reason, Lao Zhu also temporarily established a department, the Engineering Department.

Li Shanren is the chief supervisor of Zhongdu, followed by: Xue Yang (former Minister of the Ministry of Industry and current senior official), Zhongshan Hou Tang Ding, Jiangyin Hou Wu Lang, etc.

They are all senior officials in Huaixi.

You must know that Lao Zhu was very frugal and mended his clothes again and again, but he built Zhongdu with utmost luxury.

He even took care of Fengyang many times. Now that he hears Hu Guoyong’s words, are you still not angry to death?

Wonderful, really wonderful!

Let’s see how Li Shanren resolves the crisis this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was holding back his anger.

Soon, Li Shanren arrived. When he entered the Fengtian Hall and saw Hu Guoyong kneeling on the ground crying, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty!"

As soon as Li Shanren opened his mouth, he saw the look in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes that wanted to eat someone.

"Master Bai, let me ask you, you need to tell me honestly!" Zhu Yuanzhang walked down the steps step by step, "What happened to our folks?"

Li Shanren's heart trembled, and he said bravely: "The folks are so kind..."

"Are they displaced, are they hungry and helping us build Zhongdu?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes almost burst into flames.

Li Shanren suddenly turned his head to look at Hu Guoyong, feeling clear in his heart, and quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing. I know that your Majesty misses the people of Fengyang the most, so relief was provided as soon as possible after the disaster.

How could they build Zhongdu on an empty stomach?

If your Majesty doesn’t believe it, you can send someone to check and ask!”

"We must find out clearly. From now on, you should stop meddling in Zhongdu's affairs, and Zhongdu's supervision of production will also stop."

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't believe Li Shanren's words. He looked at Hu Guoyong and said, "Go to Zhongdu on our behalf and investigate carefully for us."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hu Guoyong sniffed, "On behalf of the fellow villagers, I would like to thank Your Majesty!"

Li Shanren was anxious, "Your Majesty, the Zhongdu has been under construction for nearly seven years and is almost completed. Now that we are finishing it... wouldn't it be abandoned halfway?"

He hated Hu Guoyong with all his heart. Isn’t this half-way picking peaches?

"We have our own concerns." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You know, what we care most about are our fellow villagers.

If anyone treats fellow villagers badly, we will kill him!"

Li Shanren's back felt chills, and he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Hu Guoyong had been holding back and waiting for him here.

He looked at Liu Ji again and realized that in order to deal with him, Hu Guoyong had turned to the Zhedong Group.

It’s a piece of shit that forgets its ancestors, even the ancestors!

Li Shanren cursed in his heart.

Liu Ji must be involved in this matter.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to fight with their Huaixi Group?

Come on then!

Seeing Li Shanren lowering his head and saying nothing, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand impatiently, "All of you, go down!"

"My lord, please leave!"

After the three people retreated.

Li Shanren said to Hu Guoyong: "You are so calculating and capable, and the face of Dingyuan people has been completely disgraced by you!"

However, Hu Guoyong was not angry and said calmly: "If you don't want others to know, unless you do nothing yourself, the right prime minister's ass should be wiped clean!"

"The road to Fengyang is difficult, please pay attention to your safety!" Li Shanren sneered, turned and left.

Hu Guoyong squinted his eyes in confusion and looked at Liu Ji, "What do you think, Uncle Chengyi?"

Liu Ji stroked his beard and said, "I'm smiling at this!"

...

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite agitated and could not stand the memorial.

He felt uncomfortable when he thought that his fellow villagers were likely to be in dire straits.

He didn't want to be poked in the back by his fellow villagers, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was a foolish king.

He walked out of Fengtian Hall and walked to the university hall involuntarily. When he was upset, he would definitely feel better if he looked at his eldest grandson.

Then give Lao Liu a beating to vent my anger!

Soon, he arrived at the university hall, where the sound of reading was loud.

The lecturer is still Li Yanxi.

Zhu Jun held a ruler in his hand to help Li Yanxi maintain classroom discipline.

Several unmotivated little monkeys have been caught behind the scenes, including Zhu Gaoxu.

The little guy was holding a book in his hand with a sad look on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and nodded. This Li Yanxi is really good, he can actually restrain the sixth child.

It seems that this is also the fate of the two of them.

"That's it for this class. Let's talk about what virtue is. We will check the article tomorrow!" Li Yanxi said.

Zhu Jun coughed dryly and said loudly: "Stand up and thank sir!"

Hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but stand up and bow slightly, "Thank you, sir, for teaching me and solving my doubts. Goodbye, sir!"

Li Yanxi stroked her beard, feeling even more satisfied with Zhu Jun.
Chapter completed!
