In Dengzhou, labor-for-relief was in full swing, Dengzhou and the four counties below distributed some food to the refugees gathered outside the city, allowing them to return to their villages. Then some projects in each county and township started one after another, and the young and strong people went to register for labor. Of course, if there were food and money at home, they could not participate in labor-for-relief. However, the government also had regulations that if there were young and strong men at home but did not participate in labor-for-relief, they could not receive disaster relief grain.

Work-for-relief is still very good. Youthful men and women can earn 600 or 100 kilograms of rice every day, and young and old. In addition, young and strong men and women can earn 600 or 10 kilograms of rice every month.

These projects carried out by the government were not randomly launched. They were only carried out after the prefectures and counties were jointly studied and Li Jing finally agreed. The projects launched were basically basic construction, such as water conservancy projects, road construction, bridge construction, city construction, etc.

On the other hand, Li Jing also encouraged landlords and merchants to recruit refugees to work. However, Li Jing also issued official documents, which had detailed requirements for those who recruit refugees to work, such as the minimum income standard for daily work, and this standard was calculated based on grain. Unlike the government's disaster relief, the government used work instead of relief, and only paid one liter of rice and twenty cents a day. However, for other employed refugees to work, the minimum standard per day is 60 cents or three liters of rice.

In order to prevent those bad landlords and powerful people from taking advantage of the disaster year to swallow the land and property of the people, Li Jing also ordered that all debts of the people should be suspended for one year. Moreover, it is prohibited to collect high interest rates within this year, and can only be calculated at the lowest interest rate. For those who dare to borrow usury in the disaster year, once investigated and punished, they will be fined ten times the fine for lending usury.

Moreover, the maximum price is set for grain stores in Dengzhou. If the price exceeds the price, the store will be directly sealed and the grain will be confiscated. It is also prohibited to not sell any grain. Unless the grain is sold out, it is prohibited to be closed down, otherwise it will be confiscated directly. In addition, a special provision is issued. The grain in Dengzhou is not allowed to be transported out of Dengzhou except for obtaining a special pass.

All this is to stabilize the food price. After all, there are more than 300,000 people in Dengzhou, and not all of them have no food to eat, so they have to receive relief.

After these orders were issued, many people did not abide by them. Some people took the opportunity to raise the grain prices, some people opened up usury publicly, and some shop landlords took the opportunity to reap good things as slaves.

Li Jing was naturally not ruthless about those who dared to openly challenge his majesty. Gongsun Lan's plum blossom gate and Li Wei's Flying Eagle Camp were dispatched together, but there was a little turbulence below, and Li Jing immediately knew. On the second day after the disaster relief began, Li Xigou took the military police camp to dispatch. Teams of black-clothed military policemen with guns and knives, according to the information they received, arrested more than 30 shops that openly disobeyed Li Jing's orders, as well as more than a dozen landlords, and seven or eight loan sharks from their homes.

For these people, Li Jing was determined to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and directly built a high platform on the original site where the bandits were tried in the suburbs, and then publicly tried these people. Those who released usury, sold high-priced grain, and took the opportunity to force good people to become slaves were severely punished. Not only did they impose extremely high fines according to regulations, confiscated food, etc., but they also distributed all of them to work on a work-for-relief construction site for three months.

Several of the people who committed the crime were Cui's distant relatives, and asked someone to find Cui Youcheng, the magistrate of Huangxian County in Dengzhou. However, for Cui Youcheng, who was in love, not only did not give favors, but instead scolded him. Cui Youcheng encountered a nail and knew that Li Jing's determination was incomplete. Those who were watching and saw that even the Cui family could not understand this path, they gave up now.

"Li Jing, what do you mean? Auntie, you dare to move!"

Li Jing finished reading a request for a construction site and made some revision instructions. Although these labor-for-relief projects do not require labor, materials and money are still needed. The more or less money they say, there is no money in the Dengzhou treasury. All the original money was taken away by Song Wen when he left. Li Jing said that he would suspend the pursuit of the people's past debts, and the two taxes were exempted this year. The treasury was empty, so he had to pull them from the Zhendong Army.

Hearing this fierce voice, Li Jing knew who was coming without looking up. Needless to say, Princess Xihe must have come. Moreover, Li Jing knew very well that he would come and had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Sit!" Li Jing did not raise his head and continued to inform the official documents.

"Li Jing, do you know what I'm asking for you. I kindly help you. Not only do you not appreciate it, but you will send someone to fine me. What do you mean?" Seeing that Li Jing ignored her, Li Huier directly snatched Li Jing's official documents and threw them aside from afar.

Li Jing looked up and saw Li Huier's eyes staring at him like a wolf.

These days, Li Jing issued a document to encourage merchants who recruit refugees and announced that they could use hungry people to work, so that they could obtain certain tax and fee discounts. After the document was released, many merchant workshops recruited refugees.

The princess's quilt workshop also recruited a group of refugees, and the number of them was recruited. Because the quilt workshop was strongly supported by Li Jing, and because it had been contracting orders for the military uniforms, shoes and socks of Zhendongjun, the four men of Princess Yu Youniang, Wang Yueying and Xiao Yulou are now very popular. Nowadays, not only have more than 3,000 workers, but also have several workshops such as weaving workshops, dyeing workshops, wardrobe workshops, and shoe socks workshops. Not only do they make military uniforms, shoes and socks, but they also make clothes and dyeing cloths, and their business has expanded greatly.

This time, the princess responded to Li Jing's call and recruited a thousand female workers at one time. However, since the bedding workshop had already implemented the turnover operation, the piece-based salary was calculated, and the more work it was paid. Therefore, the same was true for this group of new female workers. Since they were newly recruited, one month of training was required. During the one month's training period, there was only one month of guaranteed salary. All of this was normal, and it was agreed before recruiting.

However, among the people Li Jing dealt with this time, several of them were lower than the minimum wage of at least 1,800 cigarettes per month announced by Li Jing. After they were punished, they reported to the state government the workshop of several princesses, saying that their workers were also below this standard.

After reporting this matter, Li Jing would not know that there must be many people below watching his reaction. He also knew that the princess and the others did this, but it was indeed inconsistent with the new regulations. After thinking about it, Li Jing finally asked someone to go to the princess' workshop and forced them to raise the salary of the newly recruited workers to at least 1,800 cents a month. In addition, the workshop was fined 1,000 yuan.

Li Jing did this just because he didn't want those people to get loopholes in the regulations. Anyway, the princess and the others were their own people. When outsiders saw that Li Jing had even punished them, the regulations naturally became established.

The princess also knew about these things, and Xiao Yulou and others understood even more, but Li Huier was just a little angry.

"The princess hasn't seen her for a long time, and she has become much more beautiful again. She feels less green and more mature than before!" Li Jing did not answer positively, but praised Li Huier. When Li Huier heard this, her face turned slightly red and said angrily: "If you want to say that I'm old, just say it. You know that you married Wang Wanjun, the No. 1 beauty in Liaodong, and brought two days of love with the little fairy. Now I'm afraid that my soul will be lost to them."

Li Jing's wife and second wife have never been pregnant, but the three women married to Liaodong have all become pregnant all at once. Li Huier, for some reason, felt a little jealous when she thinks about this.

"Wang Wanjun is so beautiful that the country is beautiful, but the princess is also so beautiful that she falls in the sky." Li Jing praised with a smile.

"Don't just say that nice thing, you just think we are easy to bully!" Li Huier slapped Li Jing away the big hand on the back of her hand and glared at him, "It's not the case that I bullied me before, but I bullied my young lady. Now it's better, even our workshop is not spared."

Li Jing laughed twice.

However, Li Huier is not that easy to pass. She stared at Li Jing and asked, "By the way, what do you plan to deal with the young mother? Now she lives in your house, you have to give her a name. Do you want her to be so ignorant and vain for the rest of your life?"

Li Jing said with a headache: "What do you mean to bully you and bully her? I don't know how to deal with the young mother. She is the teacher's daughter. How dare I have any inappropriate thoughts?"

"It's not unfair to think that you kicked the other person's door open, looked at the body, and kissed him?"

"That's a temporary solution in desperation. I can't stand it and refuse to save me, right?"

"No matter what, the young lady is a big yellow girl. You have looked at it, touched it, kissed it, and now you have taken someone to your house. Do you still want to pay the debt?"

Li Jing was so amused that he had no reason to tell the princess. If possible, Li Jing wouldn't mind having another woman in the room, but it depends on what circumstances. Yu Youniang is the Yu family's legitimate daughter, his father and uncle, and his father and uncle were the three ministers and prime ministers. How could the legitimate daughter of such a family be a concubine for Li Jing? And being a concubine is also the sixth wife. Li Jing is not the kind of person who only thinks with his lower body. Some things can be done, and some things cannot be done. If he really took Yu Youniang, the Yu family would probably think that this was a great humiliation. In that case, not only would he lose a strong ally, but he would also add a strong enemy for nothing, and only would fools do that.

"Or what if your youngest mother takes you to work in your mansion for a while?" Li Jing said to Li Huier with a smile. Yu Youniang cannot live in the Li family for a long time, otherwise, she will really not be able to wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River. It would be better to let her leave the mansion early, otherwise it would be bad if it spreads out.

"Why should I help you? You just fined me a thousand guan!"

"The perfume workshop has developed more than a dozen new fragrances. When I look back, I have someone give you a package of each flavor and give you a set!" Li Jing said with a compliment.

"Ten sets!"

"What do you want to do so much?"

"I can give it to someone!"
