"I believe everyone knows the reason why I called you here, right?"

Although the meaning of Zhu Gaoxu's words is secret, everyone knows it in their hearts.

Among them, the commander of the third rank said: "Don't worry, little prince, you come to the north this time with the emperor's will. We will do our best to help you quickly resume the construction of the north."

As the third-grade commander finished speaking, other officials also expressed their opinions one after another.

They looked like dogs after seeing a bone, they all looked very excited.

Who would have thought that an official who looked about seventy or eighty years old would nod and bow to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu, who did not panic at all when facing Prime Minister Hu Weiyong and dared to speak harshly, panicked at this moment.

He really couldn't imagine how these people, who were supposed to be of high rank, could be so... not profound.

He didn't know that the lives of these wealthy northern families and officials were not easy.

As we all know, among Zhu Yuanzhang's founding heroes, almost 99% were descendants of Huaixi in the south.

These are the same people who have the right to speak in the court.

Then the life of officials in the north would be difficult.

If you commit a crime, no one will speak to you and no one will protect you.

If you work hard for a long time, no one will promote you, and even if you make some achievements, others will take them away.

And if someone makes a mistake, they might have to blame you.

Just like this, I still have to endure the grievances, otherwise I won't even be an official.

Now, finally, someone from Beijing has extended an olive branch.

Of course these people are crazy.

In fact, some people have extended an olive branch to them before, hoping that these people can get on their own ship.

But when Hu Weiyong was here before, he focused on officials from the Huaixi faction and ignored them.

Even if they accept some olive branches, the rewards they can get are not proportional.

Later, Hu Weiyong was defeated by Zhu Gaoxu, and some people valued the political market in the north.

But again, southern officials have a natural sense of superiority towards northern officials.

I accompany the emperor to conquer the world, who do you think you are?

Therefore, recruiting these northern officials does not really mean promoting them.

They are all veteran officials, so they can obviously understand.

Therefore, northern officials have been suppressed and bullied.

Now I heard that the son of King Yan, the emperor's favorite grandson, has come here, and he seems to be interested in recruiting people.

It would be strange if these people weren't crazy.

Zhu Gaoxu, who had been hanging around the imperial court in the capital for some time, could guess some of the reasons at this time.

He waved to the maid to serve the tea, and took the tea that he had almost drunk instead.

After the new tea arrived, Zhu Gaoxu picked up the tea cup and said slowly: "This little king is here for the first time, so he will inevitably trouble the ministers. I happen to have something to ask for, and I hope you can help me."

After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, everyone understood.

This is to remind them to submit their name.

Not everyone can board Zhu Di's ship if they want to.

This kind of thing is human nature and no one would object to it.

Now that I'm here, I've already thought about this step.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu speak at this time, everyone looked at each other and stood up together and said: "Please give me your instructions."

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "It's actually very simple. You should all know that I am working hard to collect grain now."

"I want you to speed up the entry of southern merchants into the north, open the door to facilitate them, and let them go if they can, without delay."

"In addition, you are all officials from various states and counties in Shandong Province. You should gather together the famous families, wealthy businessmen and others in your area. I will discuss matters with them if I have any matters."

After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, everyone looked at each other. This matter was too simple for them.

When I first heard Zhu Gaoxu say that this was a simple matter, I thought it was a polite matter, but I didn't expect it to be really easy.

Seeing this, everyone had no reason to object and hurriedly nodded in agreement, saying that they would definitely handle it.

Zhu Gaoxu hugged his fists and thanked everyone.

Then he continued: "In addition, your lords also know that I have purchased a lot of grain, and there will be more in the next few days. When the time comes, I will distribute the grain to the northern provinces, so your lords will have to worry more."

"Where there is, it should be."

"Your Majesty works for the people at his own expense. I am ashamed of myself. I will do my best in this matter."

"..."

A group of ministers rushed to ensure that this was just a matter of words for them.

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he did not stop. Instead, he continued: "In the past two days, I will send people to various counties and cities to set up porridge shops. Please take care of me."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my part."

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted, I will take care of such small things."

"..."

After hearing everyone's replies, Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction and did not make any further requests.

And all the officials were very satisfied. Most of the things Zhu Gaoxu said were just instructions to his subordinates.

Then keep an eye on it when nothing happens. At worst, send two people to keep an eye on it. If anything happens, just come back and report it.

Zhu Gaoxu obviously saw the satisfaction of these officials and couldn't help but secretly shake his head.

These northern officials are just good, and I am so satisfied with their work.
