Zhang Kang looked at Liu Mao helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Sir, we have already obtained the list of these people who came out of the capital this time? If we really knew people, we would not have fallen into the current situation of being blinded."

"Then you won't be able to make a relationship?" Liu Mao said angrily.

Zhang Kang also knew that his adult was in a bad mood, so he did not continue to argue with him. This is the case now. Everyone was panic and no one dared to be negligent.

People in Texas were panic, but Zhu Youxiao didn't care much.

The reason why he got off the boat from Texas was mainly to see the situation and to relieve the boredom caused by taking the boat. If he had to say that there was a purpose, there was really no one.

After looking at the Texas officials not far away, Zhu Youchao asked Xu Guangqi and said, "Let everyone there go back. I just walked around and didn't want to disturb the place. Let them go back and do their job well. If necessary, I will summon them."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi quickly agreed, and then sent someone to tell the Dezhou prefect. Of course, he would not pass the message in person.

Beside Zhu Youxiao, Huang Kezhang said: "Your Majesty, is it a decree to the governor of Shandong?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Huang Kezhang. Huang Kezhang just said that he was ordered to governor of Shandong, but did not say that he would tell the governor of Shandong. It was obvious that there was an ambush here.

If he told the Shandong Governor to come and take over the horse, and Huang Kezhang said he would not let him come, wouldn’t it be against his own thoughts? Otherwise, the same is true. So Huang Kezhang said so, this is the art of speaking.

Obviously, these ministers around you are starting to speak like this now.

Although Zhu Youxiao felt it was a little strange and even felt a little disappointed, he also understood that such a thing could not be avoided and he had no way to solve this problem.

As one becomes stronger and stronger, this situation will happen frequently. The so-called three masters of paper paste and six ministers of clay sculpture are basically the same.

When the emperor is strong enough, the ministers need to think about it and vice versa.

"Tell them that no one is allowed to come." Zhu Youxiao looked at Huang Kezhang and said, "I want to see their political achievements and see how they are in charge of me. I don't want them to follow me."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange for someone to pass the order immediately." Huang Kezhang quickly agreed.

Zhang Kang and Liu Mao received the imperial edict soon, and their faces were full of bitterness.

Originally, the two of them were thinking about inquiring about the news, but now they seemed to have no hope, so they could only leave sadly.

However, the two of them also raised their hearts and prepared to go back and clean up. They would never let His Majesty feel dissatisfied with them, otherwise it would be bad.

Zhu Youxiao did not go to see the two of them, and directly ordered: "Prepare to enter the city."

With so many people, it is naturally impossible to all enter the city, so you can only select some people, and more than a dozen people are enough.

As for the guard, that was something Qi Jin had to arrange.

Xu Guangqi called Qi Jin to his side and asked directly: "Have you arranged the manpower?"

"When I go back to Master Xu, five hundred people arranged to enter the city yesterday. They had already found a place. As long as His Majesty enters the city, there will be our people around us." Qi Jin said hurriedly.

Xu Guangqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you can choose more than a dozen people to guard by your side."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, you're ready." Qi Jin said.

After receiving Qi Jin's answer, Xu Guangqi walked back with satisfaction and informed the situation to several ministers present.

The group walked towards Texas City.

Texas was not a big city, but because of the existence of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the commerce and traffic are prosperous and the crowded, which is quite prosperous.

Although Zhu Youxiao and his group had a large number of people, they did not attract much attention.

There are many people traveling and pursuing business here. Although the team of dozens of people is not small, it is not scarce.

However, no matter where this group of people went, there were people staring at them in secret. The soldiers guarding the door had been ordered long ago, so it was basically unrealistic for Zhu Youxiao to see what he wanted.

When Zhu Youxiao walked to the city gate, the people lined up in an orderly manner, and the soldiers who collected taxes enforced the law in a civilized manner, were polite and smiling.

Zhu Youxiao just took a look and shook his head.

Too false.

Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, it was difficult to enter, look ugly, and things were difficult to handle. It was not fundamentally solved, but a common phenomenon.

When did the Ming Dynasty have such a good service awareness?

It's simply nonsense.

However, Zhu Youxiao also knew in his heart that when he did this, the people below would eventually have to do something for him to see.

This kind of thing is more common in later generations, which is why many people at the bottom question the upper class.

Why don’t the upper class know about such an obvious thing?

The answer is very simple, the upper class cannot see it at all.

For example, if I didn’t come from time to time, but was really the emperor who grew up in the Palace of Deep Palace, what would I think when I saw this scene?

I will definitely feel that prosperity is so prosperous, it is indeed a prosperous era. If the people around me say something good to praise, I will be even more unable to see clearly.

The group walked into Texas City.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It is rare for us monarchs and ministers to come out, so let's have a good time."

As he said that, he walked forward first.

In a teahouse not far from the city gate, Liu Mao and Zhang Kang, who had changed into casual clothes, stood at the window on the second floor, and looked carefully at Zhu Youxiao.

Liu Mao turned to Zhang Kang and said, "You have given instructions, right? There is nothing wrong with it?"

"Sir, don't worry, I've explained it a long time ago." Zhang Kang said quickly: "This is something that concerns everyone's mind, and no one dares to neglect it."

"Have those victims settled?" Liu Mao looked at Zhang Kang and asked with a dark face: "I am not worried about other things, but the refugees are worried about. If His Majesty sees this, we will not be able to take care of it."

After hearing this, Zhang Kang said helplessly: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

"But this matter cannot be blamed on us. We do not have the money and food for the relief of the court. What does the refugees who came here have to do with us? The adults also organized wealthy households in the city to donate money and materials, and have provided a lot of relief these days. However, there are too many victims in this disaster. Our Dezhou Prefecture is so big, and the court has not allocated money and food, so we can't take care of that much."

"It's light." Liu Mao said angrily: "Who are you going to tell me about this?"

"We are not affected by the disaster here. If the victims come to us, we have to take care of it. If His Majesty sees this, do you think His Majesty will listen to your explanation? Besides, why did the victims run away? Isn't it a bad opportunity to maintain the disaster?"

"The court allocated disaster relief food, and gave a lot of money, but where did those things go? Do you know what you said? Why do you say such things?"

"If we lift the lid from us, how can we still be in the Shandong officialdom? Then the governor's yamen can spare us?"

"Amano and steadily sent Your Majesty away without anything. This is our greatest luck. As for other things, what's our turn to take care of?"

"People say that officials in the capital are not easy to be made, but officials in Shandong are easy to be made."

Listening to the complaints of his elders, Liu Maoyou sighed helplessly.

People say that it is difficult to be a Beijing official, and local officials are lacking, but on the ground in Shandong, it is not the one who is the master of the family.

Whose land in Shandong belongs to? Whose land in Shandong belongs to? Whose grain in Shandong is in? Shandong officials are very clear about it.

But what do you know? What do you dare to say? What do you dare to do? You don’t even dare to ask.

Some people hoard goods, some people use inferior products as good ones, and some people can rush the price of grain to high prices. What dare you do? You don’t even dare to ask.

"Sir, don't worry, it's okay, it's already arranged." Zhang Kang could only comfort his adults in this way.

Zhu Youxiao and a group of people were wandering around the city, buying something from time to time, and everyone accompanied Zhu Youxiao to visit.

They have many opportunities to go out on weekdays, so they are naturally not interested in these things. Moreover, they are worried and have no mood to enjoy them when they accompany the emperor to go shopping.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care about this.

But as they walked, everyone realized that something seemed wrong, because someone got out of nowhere and got into the team.

Xu Guangqi asked Qi Jin with his eyes, and logically no one could approach this team. After all, Qi Jin had arranged a guard long ago. If anyone could come here, then what else would such guards protect?

Qi Jin glanced at the person coming and said to Xu Guangqi hesitantly: "Gei Xu, that's from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi frowned and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Sure enough, Your Majesty did not get off the boat for no reason, nor did he really think of coming to Texas to take a walk, so there is something to do.

However, Xu Guangqi also understood that there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing. If His Majesty really didn't care about anything and didn't look at anything, he wouldn't be able to do it.

After all, the purpose of His Majesty's trip this time is not simple, but Xu Guangqi did not expect His Majesty to meet with the people from the internal residence.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the visitor and asked, "Are you the person in charge of Shandong of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Wu Jiye, Chief of the Shandong Administrative Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, please see Your Majesty." Wu Jiye said hurriedly.

Zhu Youzhai fought for a war with Wu Jiye.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin figure and a mustache. He can tell that he is a very smart person.

"How is the situation in Texas?" Zhu Youxiao asked looking at him.

"Back to your Majesty, the situation in Texas is still OK." Wu Jiye hurriedly said: "Although some victims have also come to Texas, the number is not very large."

"Dezhou magistrate Liu Mao also arranged for Zhenji, organized wealthy families in the city to donate money and grain, set up a porridge shed, and arranged a doctor to treat the victims. Although several people died, they were not starved to death. Most of them were seriously ill all the way and could not be saved even when they arrived here."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "In this way, he did a pretty good job. But after I entered the city, I didn't see a single victim. Didn't there beg for the disaster in the city?"

"Disago victims are not allowed to enter the city." Wu Jiye said after thinking about it: "After the victims arrive here, they will be arranged uniformly outside the city, and they are not allowed to enter the city to disturb the people in the city."

"When I learned that Your Majesty was coming, the Dezhou Prefect's Office had already driven all the victims to the north. The prefect Liu Mao was quite down-to-earth and did not directly drive away the victims, but moved all the porridge sheds to the north of the city, so that all the victims to the north of the city."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded.

If it is Wu Jiye's statement, then the Dezhou prefect Liu Mao is still a qualified official. As for driving away the people, there is probably a hidden story.

Sighing softly, Zhu Youxiao said, "I still don't want me to know."
