I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 297 Arrangement
One day is only such a request, Li Tian was relieved immediately.

He wasn't afraid of her asking too much, but he was worried that the queen would be framed and used by someone with a heart.

If that's the case, then it's no big deal at all.

This time is no longer the Yongle period, Zhu Di who dominated everything is gone, and now Li Tian is in charge of the world.

As long as he doesn't go too far, no one in this world dares to have any objection to his decision.

Li Tian gently pulled the queen up and helped her sit down.

whispered,
"Where is Concubine Chen Gui now, and how did she deliver the letter to you, Empress?"

The Queen thought that Li Tian was going to pursue the matter, so she knelt down and begged for mercy, but Li Tian stopped her vigorously.

"Ling'er, you're not like this. I've said it before. No matter what you do, I don't care about it. Why should you do this?"

The queen looked at Li Tian fixedly, as if she was looking at another person.

"Don't dare to hide your Majesty, Concubine Chen Guifei and more than a hundred of them are currently in the Huangzhuang outside the city."

"She doesn't know how to persuade the steward of Huangzhuang to let him quietly deliver this letter to the concubine when he pays the one-year harvest this time."

"The concubines really didn't know anything about them before, but after reading what was written in the letter, they dared to help them. They are really miserable."

Li Tian's eyebrows almost twisted into a Sichuan character.

In his impression, Zhu Di treated these people who were saved from death pretty well, but they were only confined in a certain place, without beating, scolding or persecution, so why is it so miserable.

He couldn't help wondering.

"What Ling'er said is true. I don't remember that neither I nor Father ordered to torture them."

The queen grabbed Li Tian's arm vigorously, as if she had also experienced those sufferings.

Said very excitedly,

"Although His Majesty has not issued such a decree, the people below have never stopped the false prestige of the tiger."

"According to Chen Guifei's handwriting, there were more than 500 of them when they dared to be dispatched to Huangzhuang.

After so many years of torture, there are less than 100 dead and disabled people. "

Li Tian became even more strange, staring at the Queen's gaze and asked,
"Huangzhuang is not a bitter kiln in a mine. There is no heavy physical labor at all. Why are they here?"

At this moment, the Queen finally managed to catch her breath, and sighed,

"Most of Huangzhuang's annual harvest has to be handed over, and the rest will be deducted by the eunuchs in charge.

In addition, Huangzhuang was not that big, and after a year, the rations left by them were less than half of that of ordinary people, and they couldn't eat enough at all.

If spring and summer are good, they can dig some wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, but in autumn and winter.

The river was frozen, the vegetation was withered and yellow, and they were not allowed to leave Huangzhuang, so they could only suffer. "

"It's true that those stewards didn't deliberately abuse them, but they just wanted to survive the winter of lack of food and clothing every year.

There will be many frail and sick people, or elderly people, who take the initiative to reduce their own food to let others live.

Almost every year, many people starve to death and freeze to death. "

Li Tian clenched his fists hard when he heard this.

With a cold snort of embarrassment,
"Damn it, the eunuch in charge, why didn't you report this kind of thing, I'll have someone arrest the eunuch right now.

Strictly tortured, I really want to know who gave him such guts. "

If they were all unpardonable felons, even if they died cleanly, Li Tian's heart would not be touched in the slightest.

But these people in Huangzhuang, let alone an adult man, even few women are young. Most of them are actually people who have been implicated by their relatives.

There was no threat at all, and Li Tian from later generations could not bear to treat them so cruelly.

Seeing Li Tian getting angry, the queen quickly grabbed his arm,
"No, Your Majesty, this matter should not be flaunted!"

After being reminded so much by her, Li Tian suddenly came to his senses.

If I was really impulsive and beat up the steward, or even released all these people directly, the shock caused would definitely not be small.

Although he is an emperor at this time, he has supreme power.

But 90.00% of his ministers are former Yongle ministers.

Whether it is direct release or indirect help, if it is known, it is tantamount to being a son who overthrows Lao Tzu's approach, and it is tantamount to admitting that Jing Nan's orphans are innocent.

It also indirectly admitted that it was wrong to overthrow Jianwen back then.

What does this make all the officials think, and what does the rest of the Jianwen Party think.

If someone makes a big fuss about this matter and set off a vigorous rebellion against the unjust, it is not impossible.

Especially during the period when Li Tian became the emperor, he did some things that made all the officials unhappy, and he managed to suppress all kinds of momentum.

If such a scandal breaks out at this time, what kind of backlash might it cause?

He was thankful that the queen reminded him in time, he held her pair of tender hands tightly, and said softly,

"Since Linger, you took the initiative to bring this matter up with me, does Linger have a way to properly accommodate them?"

The queen nodded slightly,

"Chenqie did not have any good ideas before, but since the business of the workshop has become more and more popular, Chenqie has a bold idea."

Hearing her mention of the workshop, Li Tian immediately understood the queen's plan, Dang didn't interrupt her directly, but pretended not to know,
"Oh? Linger, what do you think?"

The queen said quietly,
"Since His Majesty established the workshop to help those poor people who have no fixed place to live and three meals a day.

The concubine thought that their lives were more difficult, so it was better to entrust them with some odd jobs in the workshop.

There is no need to pay much, just to satisfy their food and clothing. "

"The concubine originally planned to do this secretly with Yongri and the others after taking the management of Huangzhuang from His Majesty.

But when the concubine saw His Majesty, she didn't know what was wrong, so she couldn't help but tell His Majesty about it. "

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Li Tian also smiled wryly in his heart.

Even if she didn't say anything and did it in private, how could she do anything to her after she found out!

So he took her hand and comforted her,

"What Ling'er did was a good thing, how could I blame you, but since you have already told me, it's better to be a good person to the end."

"There's no need to ask them to make any corners, just build a branch in Huangzhuang.

Everything is up to them. No matter how many things they make, the workshop can buy them at a slightly lower market price! "
