Hearing what the silly father said, Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes.

Growing food in greenhouses has never been so luxurious in later generations.

Not to mention that the cost of building a greenhouse is not something ordinary people can afford. Even if they can afford it, using it to grow food is a complete loss-making business.

After all, food is not like vegetables. Once vegetables are picked, their storage time is limited.

Naturally, when vegetables are no longer available, out-of-season vegetables can be sold at high prices.

But after the grain is dried, it can be said to be stored well and there will be no problems for several years.

Not to mention not being able to sell at a high price, it is normal to lose money. Letting people use greenhouses to grow food can be said to be harming people.

However, Zhu Zhanji didn’t say anything about this. With his silly father’s IQ, these things were probably immediately obvious to him.

"Dad, let's go to the greenhouse first!"

Zhu Zhanji said something, turned around and walked towards the yard where the greenhouse was built.

This yard is not too small. There were originally no less than a dozen abandoned houses, and together with the outdoor area, it was about ten acres.

After Zhu Zhanji turned them all into greenhouses, there were almost more than a hundred sheds.

Almost twenty eunuchs were arranged to look after him at all times.

When Zhu Zhanji came here, he saw several young eunuchs he had arranged walking back and forth in the greenhouse.

Any weeds that appear between each vegetable seedling will be cleaned up immediately.

Even for fear of hurting the vegetable seedlings, these people did not dare to use tools, and they all just did it directly.

It can be said that it is extremely careful.

"It looks like we'll be able to eat green vegetables in a while."

Zhu Gaochi, who weighed three hundred pounds, walked into the greenhouse without paying attention to the eunuchs and squatted on the ground.

Huang looked at a bud that had just sprouted with interest, with a somewhat naive smile on his face.

"It's still early!"

Zhu Zhanji glanced at the sign with the word cucumber in front of Silly Dad, smiled, squatted down, stretched out his fingers and flicked the tender green seedlings, and said with a smile:

"This is a cucumber seedling. It will take seventy or eighty days to bear fruit. If you count the days, you will have to wait until at least January before it will bear fruit!"

"You kid, be careful, these seedlings are precious!"

Zhu Gaochi felt a little distressed when he saw Zhu Zhanji reaching out and flicking a seedling. He quickly took Zhu Zhanji's hand and stopped him from playing again. After complaining, he said angrily: "Qi Ba

Ten days is indeed a long time, but it is great to eat cucumbers in January. The cucumbers sold outside now cost five taels of silver each. In this way, our family will be able to eat them without spending money in the future.

Got it!"

"As long as you are happy!"

Zhu Zhanji smiled.

………

Early the next morning, the newspaper matter was still fermenting, and the second issue of the newspaper arrived again as promised.

After the first newspaper sensation, the content of the second newspaper was a little dull.

The most important section was the current affairs section, and Zhu Zhanji only allowed a few reports on the court's disaster relief work to be published.

As the temperature gets lower and lower, there have been reports of snowstorms in the north of Daming from time to time recently.

This matter is a top priority at the moment. After all, once a snow disaster occurs, some houses may be crushed, or even people may be buried directly.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Finance is not short of money this winter. With a good foundation of discipline and the income from selling glass, the wool business has slowly begun to make a profit recently.

It can be said that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this winter in Hubu should be the easiest.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji would approve all requests for disaster relief from various places as long as the problems were not serious.

And at the same time, a large number of supervisory censors were also arranged by Zhu Zhanji.

The main purpose of these people is to supervise disaster relief matters in various places on the surface and prevent anyone from enriching their own pockets.

At the same time, secretly, all the reporters on Zhu Gaochi's side were basically in place. After a simple training, Zhu Zhanji asked these people to immediately rush to various places with the disaster relief matters, and secretly went to the private sector to investigate and confirm the implementation of the disaster relief matters in various places. Condition.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Zhanji is handling today's government affairs.

"Your Highness Taisun, with the construction of greenhouses today, the number of refugees in Yingtian has been greatly reduced. Although there are still refugees coming from various places, the problem is no longer big."

Yang Shiqi placed a prepared folder in front of Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji browsed through it casually, and after thinking for a while, he asked Yang Shiqi: "Recently, there have been constant snowstorms in various places. Although the imperial court has sent people to provide disaster relief, and the supervisory censor has also sent no less than twenty people, but these supervisory censors are following These are all disaster relief funds. It is inevitable that some people will conceal the disaster and fail to report it. I would like to arrange for an imperial envoy to be responsible for coordinating and inspecting various places. What do you think?"

Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and asked, "I wonder who His Highness Taisun plans to arrange for him to go?"

Arranging imperial envoys to inspect the world is not something too special. Basically every year, the imperial court will arrange some imperial envoys to select some places to inspect to determine the actual situation in each place.

But the choice of this imperial envoy is very important.

Firstly, he must be a Beijing official, and secondly, his rank must be above the third rank.

Zhu Zhanji condensed slightly. He actually had a candidate in his mind early on, and that was Gu Zuo, Yin of Yingtian Prefecture whom Silly Dad told him last time.

Gu Chen

This person has a good reputation with Silly Dad, and Zhu Zhanji has recently planned to promote some people as his confidants.

He checked various information about Gu Zuo and found that this person could indeed be regarded as a talent.

There were just some things that he didn't know clearly, and what he saw in the information could not be used as a complete basis.

So it would be good if we could take advantage of the snowstorms in various places during this imperial mission to conduct an investigation on Gu Zuo.

In addition, he asked his stupid father to secretly arrange reporters to conduct secret investigations in various places.

At that time, he only needs to make some comparisons between Gu Zuo and what reporters have investigated, and he will be able to easily see whether Gu Zuo can be reused.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji glanced at Yang Shiqi and said, "What do you think of Yin Guzuo of Yingtian Mansion?"

"Gu Zuo..."

Yang Shiqi thought for a moment and then nodded and said: "Gu Zuo is clean and upright, and has an excellent official reputation. The people also love him very much. With his current official position and grade, he is a very suitable candidate!"

This means there is no problem.

When Zhu Zhanji heard Yang Shiqi's words, he also nodded and said: "Then arrange for him to go. I will write a note later and tell the emperor about it. The focus of this inspection is on the people who were most seriously affected by the disaster." We should also check out other places that are currently safe to avoid people lying about the disaster or concealing it!"

"yes!"

Yang Shiqi responded first, then hesitated slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, when it comes to Gu Zuo and Gu Fuyin, I have a piece of information here that Gu Fuyin handed over yesterday!"

As Yang Shiqi spoke, he turned around and quickly found a booklet on his small table and handed it to Zhu Zhanji.

After Zhu Zhanji opened the folder, he explained: "This matter has something to do with the newspaper that just appeared recently. Originally, the newspaper appeared and the royal guards arranged by His Highness Taisun made the security of Yingtian inexplicably better. Gu

Out of curiosity, Zuo Chu went to patrol the streets, but when he passed through several civilian areas in Yingtian, he discovered that many houses had collapsed."

Zhu Zhanji frowned when he heard this and asked: "How many houses collapsed? Are there any casualties?"

There is no small matter in Yingtian. After all, this is the capital of a country. The emperor's feet represent the emperor's face.

The emergence of a large number of refugees was already a big deal.

Zhu Zhanji finally took advantage of the greenhouse situation to deal with these refugees, but he did not expect another house collapse.

It doesn't matter if it's one or two rooms. After all, things are fickle, and there will always be some surprises.

But listening to Yang Shiqi’s tone, it’s obviously a lot!

"Among them, seventy or eighty have suffered minor collapses. Most of them were courtyard walls or eaves. They were in disrepair for a long time. Coupled with the recent snowfalls and strong winds, many collapsed. Others were seriously damaged.

There were more than thirty rooms, and there were no less than fifty casualties."

Yang Shiqi paused for a moment after speaking, and then continued: "However, according to Gu Fuyin's investigation, there are many similar houses in civilian areas. If there is another strong wind or heavy snow, the damage will probably be even greater!"

Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly when he heard Yang Shiqi's words. He felt that this matter was not very simple.

Yingtian Mansion has been established for a long time, and there are many houses with a long history in it.

Especially places where civilians live, these places don't receive much attention.

Occasionally, no one would care at all if a house collapsed, and even if someone died, it would often be done hastily.

After all, the people living in the civilian areas are poor people who have no money and no power. Officials who can really make decisions for these people are absolutely rare in this era.

And from the look on Yang Shiqi's face, we can tell that even Yang Shiqi, if Zhu Zhanji hadn't suddenly mentioned Gu Zuo, would not have thought that Gu Zuo had fallen into such a trap.

After all, many refugees have been freezing to death in Yingtian recently. Coupled with snowstorms in various places, house collapse is all too common.

Not to mention other officials, it has always been the tradition of being an official to do more than to do less.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji warned: "From now on, all matters related to the life and death of the people, no matter how big or small, will be reported before other matters."

Yang Shiqi's heart flashed when he heard this, knowing that Zhu Zhanji was speaking to him and admonishing him at the same time, so he nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I obey the order!"

"Um!"
