The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 286 What is Ming Jun?

"Ministers! Please let me clarify! Ms. Mu Wanqing and I are not what you said! Please don't get me wrong!"

"My lord! You don't need to explain! In our hearts! The imperial concubine must be Ms. Mu! You and Ms. Mu are a natural pair, a pair made in heaven!" Someone said loudly.

This remark made Mu Wanqing and Gao Shuang blush and feel a little embarrassed.Mu Wanqing ran away embarrassedly.

When Gao Shuang saw that all the civil and military ministers had arrived, he immediately seized the time to discuss and deal with state affairs.

When talking about the situation of victims of disasters, refugees, migrant workers, etc., the ministers reflected this fact.

That is due to the recent frequent and long-lasting thunderstorms, large-scale mudslides occurred in Lu State, which severely damaged the crops in the field, resulting in a shortage of self-sufficient food, which seriously threatened the survival of Lu State citizens.

"Pass my order! Open the grain warehouse in the treasury and distribute it to the poor and disaster victims!" Gao Shuang ordered decisively.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! My lord! I did some calculations. The food in the treasury is just enough to distribute the salaries of officials from all over the country! Once it is distributed to the common people, the officials will starve! I am the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs..."

A minister in charge of the treasury reported truthfully.

"If the common people starved to death! What would we eat? Our salaries all come from the common people! We are only possible because of them!" Gao Shuang's words were astonishing, and Lei Dahai and Yang Wu secretly admired them.

At this time, Mu Wanqing brought breakfast to everyone, and she couldn't help admiring Gao Shuang when she heard that Gao Shuang was so worried about the people and loved the people.

I have read a lot of ways to govern the country, what is a Mingjun?Only the emperor who thinks that the people are more important than the king is the real wise king.

The words of a wise king are recorded in the history books: "The king is the boat, and the people are the water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it."

The king of a country is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can propel the boat, and it can also overturn the boat and make it sink. The people can support the monarch and support him.

Similarly, if the monarch is cruel and cannot benefit the people, the people will rise up and oppose him.
"Open the granary and release the grain! As for the salaries of the ministers, let's talk about it slowly!" Gao Shuang spoke loudly.

In addition, in order to tide over the difficulties, Gao Shuang asked all the ministers to cut down on food and clothing, including himself, and implemented a limited supply system.

At the same time, Gao Shuang sent a letter to Fei Ge to tell him that there was not much food in his treasury, so he asked businessmen Hu Xuesong and Er Niu, who were far away from the Jingtian Dynasty, to lead the Shunchang caravan to urgently collect some important materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as food and salt, from various places.

Send Yi Qingchen, Wang Gang, and Du Hu to lead [-] new escorts to ensure the safety of important supplies!
Gao Shuang's important move of putting the people first was unanimously supported by the people of Lu State. They received the food they needed with smiles on their faces.

In order to let everyone in the Lu Kingdom have food to eat, Gao Shuang also dispatched some ministers to implement the implementation in depth. He found that local officials had embezzled and exploited them, and reported them at any time.
