The meaning of life is that you never know what will happen in the next second, so people will think every time they take a step forward, but like Zhu Yili and others, their life has been destined from the moment they became a vassal, with good or bad, right or wrong, not much meaning to them.

The same is true for pigs.

"But the prince has not yet joined the vassal state." Guo Dan said slowly.

Zhu Yiliu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Guo Dan.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "The main purpose of my trip to Weihui Mansion is to cleanse the grievances of the prince. I have a move now that can make the prince turn the tide, gain both fame and fortune, and live happily outside for a few years."

When Zhu Yili heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked quickly, "Speak quickly."

Guo Dan said: "It's actually very simple. Zhu Yili only needs to rent the Luwang Mansion to the merchants, and all the problems will be solved."

"What did you say?"

Zhu Yiliu said excitedly: "Are you crazy about renting my king's mansion to a merchant?"

"Your Majesty, don't be excited, just listen to me."

Guo Dan pressed his hands down and smiled and said, "The fundamental reason for all this is the Lu Wang Mansion. The root cause of this disease is also here. If you don't start from here, any solution will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. We have already talked about letting merchants go to the local area to invest and open workshops to save the finances of Weihui Mansion. If the prince is willing to take out the Lu Wang Mansion, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort and win the first prize."

Zhu Yili said with a diagonal eye: "How do you say this?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "First of all, if you rent out the Luwang Mansion, you can get generous rent every year, and these rents can be used to build the Luwang Mansion.

Secondly, if you get freedom, the rent is not paid every ten years, but every quarter. Then the speed of building the Lu Wang Mansion will naturally slow down. If the Lu Wang Mansion has not been completed, the prince will naturally not be in a hurry to become a vassal. If the ministers in the court urged him, the prince would ask the court to allocate money, so they would naturally not dare to say more.

Finally, we get the name. Although we can push the blame to those magistrates, the people will not think so. If the prince wants to really restore his reputation, it is better to make a sincere repentance than to make a sincere repentance.

The merchant invested in and opened a workshop, and the people were actually doing it, and the people also made a living. The prince had never used the Lu Wang Mansion. It is hard to say who the Lu Wang Mansion was built for by then. Not only did the prince not ask the people to pay for the Lu Wang Mansion, but instead rented the Lu Wang Mansion to the people. Isn’t this the most sincere expression of taking it from the people and using it for the people. This is a great deal to correct this mistake."

Zhu Yili looked confused when he heard this, and said, "But I have never lived in this Lu Wang Mansion, how can I..."

Guo Dan said, "Does the prince really want to live in it? No matter how good the mansion is, you will always be bored if you live in it for ten years. How can you enjoy it outside? For example, this small house?"

Zhu Yili scratched his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Come on, Landlord, Landlord, I want to turn it over."

Guo Dan smiled and said, "Go and wake up my uncle."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a snap sound outside the house and a moan.

Guo Dan and Zhu Yili stood up at the same time and came to the door. Xu Jirong scratched his face and had five red finger marks on his right cheek.

"Xiaojie, who beats you?"

Zhu Yiliu said in surprise.

Xu Jirong rubbed his eyes and said, "No...no one, I beat it myself, there are mosquitoes."

He beats himself so hard, this guy has a bright future! Guo Dan can't help but admire him deeply.

.....

As the saying goes, one drum will stop again, and three times will decline.

When Guo Dan's convoy just arrived at Zhangde Mansion, the entire Henan Road was infuriated. From the prefect to the people, they all opposed Guo Dan's entry into Weihui Mansion.

Even the people of Daming Prefecture were full of anger and hostility towards the court's decision, because public opinion was in the hands of literati. They told the people that the reason why the court did not dare to appoint officials to come was that it did not want to hold Lu Wang accountable.

Because smart people know that the people in this entire area do not want Lu Wang to come to Weihui Mansion, and they all hope that the court will hold Lu Wang responsible, because if Lu Wang severely punishes Lu Wang or even deposes Lu Wang, it will be a celebration for everyone.

The people are not stopping Guo Dan, but stopping Lu Wang, which is related to their vital interests.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and Guo Dan’s convoy has gone around.

The scholar who was full of anger could not find a place to vent his anger.

The entire Henan Road suddenly fell into confusion.

Especially Weihui Mansion.

The local people are not only confused, but simply at a loss.

After Guo Dan set out, they took it seriously and thought of various tricks to deal with Guo Dan. But they knew that Guo Dan was so vulnerable that he had not even entered the Zhangde Mansion. They had thought that this would happen before.

What's ridiculous is that this stops it, but it becomes embarrassing.

Because there is no government here, Guo Dan, who took over this place, didn't know which cattle in Shanxi to go.

What's even more terrible is that they were organizing the people to oppose Guo Dan, thus neglecting that it was the sowing season. God has never favored this place in recent years. It was raining all the time, and it would be even worse if they didn't concentrate on taking care of the fields.

Previously, due to the construction of Lu Wang Mansion, many counties in Weihui Mansion had financial collapse and bankrupt farmers were everywhere.

The ancients said that food is the most important thing for people.

Not etiquette.

Etiquette and law cannot be eaten as food!

There is no government, let alone relief, there is no place to find a place to request relief.

The most serious situation is Ji County, because Lu Wang Mansion was built here, and the people here have long been emptied. Within this month, many people have starved to death.

In the ancient political system, grassroots management was not the magistrate, but the gentry and landlords. They were the grassroots management personnel. If the government was removed, the responsibility would naturally fall on them.

Apart from Luwang Mansion, the largest manor in Ji County is located east of Ji County, the old Liang family.

Today, the big landlords from Ji County came to the Liang family compound.

Liang Kui, the head of the family, said: "Everyone, it seems that this year is the same as in previous years. It is another year of inadequate harvest. Most of the people in our Ji County have no surplus food at home. If this continues for a long time, it is not a solution. Now that the government has withdrawn, we have to find a way to deal with it quickly."

One person said, "Brother Liang means, is it that we are asking us to use grain to provide relief?"

Liang Kui nodded and said, "If there is really no way, then we can only do this. What I mean is that each of us will take out two hundred stones of grain to help the people."

One person smiled and said, "For Brother Liang, two hundred stones of grain, it is just a drop in the bucket, but for our He family, there are quite a lot. I suggest that whoever has more land will get more grain."

"You can't say that. If the weather is good every year, it's OK. But now the crops are not harvested every year, and no family can live a good life. Two hundred stones are a count for whom."

"If it is reasonable, no one family can live a hard life, and everyone has to do what they can. If my family can't afford so much food, wouldn't I eat it?"

I saw an old man with white hair and beard and hair said, "Don't fight any more. Now this situation is caused by the Lu Prince's Mansion. This is the responsibility of the court, so why should we bear it?"

The old man's surname is Xue, and he is a big landlord in Ji County. Then He Zhiyan is his son-in-law.

"The tooth merchant sent by the imperial court now doesn't know where to go?"

"I heard that I went to Shanxi, and I don't know if I got lost."

Old Xue waved his hand again and said, "Don't mention the tooth merchant. If he comes, it's a bit worse than now. I guess the tooth merchant doesn't even know the big words. We can't count on him. I mean, we have to write to the court and ask the court to appoint officials to come over, and at the same time transport grain from Hejian, Daming and Kaifeng to provide relief."

After hearing this, everyone whispered and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Liang Kui nodded and said, "Since everyone agrees to do this, then hurry up and write to the court. You can't wait any longer. In addition, we should take some food to help you, and everyone can do it within their means."

"Brother Liang, this help is not a long-term solution. One day of help is one day, but what should I do tomorrow?"

"To be honest, now we don't know what will happen in the future, so we have to leave some food to pass this level."

"Now the entire Weihui Mansion is short of food. If we only provide assistance, if other county towns do not do anything, the people from other county towns will come to us. If there are too many refugees, it will be easy to change."

In short, it is impossible to get food out.

In fact, for these big landlords, natural disasters also contain great benefits. The people have no food to eat and can only sell land, wife and daughter. This is a great opportunity to merge land.

The only thing they were willing to leave was a horse, sending an urgent letter to the capital for help.

.....

Dong Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, this is an emergency letter just heard from Weihui Mansion. The situation there is already very serious. If the court does not send food and relief, it will probably cause civil unrest."

Shen Shixing anxiously reported to Wanli.

Wanli was furious and said, "It's outrageous. Didn't Guo Dan say that he could solve the problem as soon as he left? As for the days, he should have arrived at Weihui Mansion long ago. Why didn't the problem be solved? Instead, he sent a letter of emergency and immediately passed my order to take Guo Dan down and escort back to the capital to question the crime."

Wang Jiaping hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. As far as I know, Guo Dan... Guo Dan has not arrived at Weihui Mansion yet."

Wanli said: "How is this possible? It takes less than a few days to go from the capital to Weihui Mansion. It has been almost two months since Nanjing has arrived."

The cabinet ministers looked at each other.

Wanli frowned and said, "Is there an accident?"

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "It was an accident. When Guo Dan passed by Zhangde Mansion, he encountered a local scholar blocking the road and scolding him. In order to avoid conflict with them, Guo Dan took a detour westward. It is said that he went around to Shanxi. Now... he is nowhere to be found."

Wanli was stunned and wondered, "Why did those scholars block the road and shout? Guo Dan went to Weihui Mansion again, what does it have to do with Zhangde Mansion?"

Wang Xijue said with a little dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, the ministers in the court at that time all opposed contracting Wei Hui Mansion to Guo Dan. This is not in line with the system, but Your Majesty..."

"But what am I?"

Wanli glared at the slanting eyes and said angrily: "I made it clear at that time. I am in a hurry to be in power. If you have a way to solve the problem, how could I do this? No one can do it. I have appointed Guo Dan to come and blame me again. It's really outrageous."

Wang Xijue hurriedly nodded and said, "I dare not."

Wanli sneered and said, "It's not that the court has not sent people to rescue me, they drove them away. Now they have asked the court to send food to help me. I see that some officials must have wanted to use this to make profits. Before Guo Dan arrived at Weihui Mansion, I will never transfer food to him."

Wang Jiaping hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this person's life is at stake..."

"That's why I sent Guo Dan to the wrong way. They didn't know how to save me." As he said that, Wanli suddenly said to Zhang Cheng, "Insider."

"I am here."

"You immediately draw an order to send it to them and tell them whoever drives Guo Dan away will bear the consequences."

"I obey the order."

Wanli suddenly looked at Wang Xijue again and said, "Didn't your family say that all the ministers in the court oppose me sending Guo Dan to come?"

Wang Xijue nodded.

Wanli smiled and said, "I do not object to their sending food to help me. If they want, I can send someone to escort it. I have already done my best."
