As soon as Fu Xiaoguan finished explaining the key clauses of the policy, the concierge came to report that the Ninth Princess came.
Qin Bing had a hundred thousand questions in his heart, but he could only get up and lead everyone out to greet him.
Yu Wenyun stood in the front hall with her hands behind her back and thinking about her feet. When she saw Qin Bingzhong approaching, she immediately walked over.
Qin Bingzhong was about to salute, but Yu Wenyun suddenly supported him and said, "Mr. Qin, please don't be like this. Wen Yun came so abruptly because he was looking for Fu Xiaoguan in an urgent matter."
Then Yu Wenyun blinked at Fu Xiaoguan and Dong Shulan, and followed Qin Bingzhong into the study again.
"That's right, my father has already read your policy, and he said he wants to use you."
Fu Xiaoguan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Look, your Majesty still has some discernment."
Yu Wenyun glared at him, thinking that she was worried about him, but he was still talking and laughing here.
"Then did your Majesty say when he would see me?"
"No, I guess we have to wait until the end of autumn."
Okay, with two days left, Fu Xiaoguan put this matter aside and started chatting with Qin Bingzhong again.
"As far as I know, after the disaster on both sides of the Yellow River this year, food prices in nearby counties and even state capitals have indeed increased at least five times. It is a good way for you to use the original disaster relief food to stabilize food prices. But One thing I don't understand is that the victims still have money to buy food. Their homes are gone. The first thing they have to do after the disaster is to rebuild their homes. Even if they have extra money, they will use it. For construction, not for buying food.”
"On this point, please listen to me. In fact, after a disaster occurs, the victims will flee to the nearest county, and they will settle down in the nearest county first. Don't underestimate the working people. They will build simple houses to live temporarily in order to wait for the flood to pass and return to the place where they used to live as soon as possible. At this time, they need to buy food, but the price of food at this time has already increased. ** control, even the food originally used for disaster relief has flowed into the market at high prices. People's first need is to survive, no matter how high the price of food is, they have to eat, so they quickly use up the remaining money in their hands. At this time, they will do anything to survive. They choose to sell their fields until the money for the sold fields is spent again, and they have no choice but to flee."
“The crux of the problem is grain prices. Landowners or grain merchants collude with the government to withhold disaster relief grain. Then the victims will not have enough to eat. They have to buy at high prices until they go bankrupt. However, the landlords or grain merchants will Taking advantage of this time to buy the property sold by the victims at a low price, this is their ultimate goal! Note that all this is to buy the property at a low price! But if the food price is stable, the victims can use their remaining money. After this famine, the fields are still in their hands and they can continue to survive on their own land."
"If the court needs to win over the people at this time, then building houses for them for free will make them grateful for a lifetime."
“The common people don’t ask for much, a tile on top and enough food below is all they have.”
"This can solve most of the victims. If you are more careful, you can register women, children, old and young, and provide them with benefits. If state, county and county officials are capable, you can even provide them with some employment opportunities. For example... building embankments, or repairing city walls, etc., let them use their own labor in exchange for wages. This can create a virtuous cycle and naturally solve the problem of displacement of victims. "
Fu Xiaoguan talked a bit too much. Qin Bingzhong frowned and thought for a long time, then nodded.
"Just like this, the land can no longer be annexed. If this good idea is adopted by Your Majesty, you will offend more people."
Of course Fu Xiaoguan has thought about this. Since he has offended these people now, he doesn't mind offending them even more.
Yu Wenyun entered the scene midway, not knowing the cause. He only heard the consequences and felt that the strategy was really powerful. No wonder it caught the eye of his father.
Dong Shulan is a little worried. The officialdom is like a huge net, which affects the whole body. Fu Xiaoguan's policy seems to prevent the landlords from annexing the land, but in fact it affects the interests of those officials. Who knows who those officials are? Factional? Who knows which family or official is standing behind them?
After that, Fu Xiaoguan and Qin Bingzhong talked about other issues. Qin Bingzhong suddenly realized that his old friend was indeed not a thing in the pool. If this disaster relief strategy can be implemented, it will be a blessing to the people and the country. .
It was already late, Fu Xiaoguan and others said goodbye and left the Qin Mansion.
Yu Wenyun and Dong Shulan rode in the same carriage. In the car, Yu Wenyun apologetically talked about going to Dong's Mansion. Dong Shulan did not blame Yu Wenyun. After all, Yu Wenyun didn't know that he was banned. .
"I haven't been out since I came back from Linjiang. My mother kept a close eye on me, as if she had discovered something."
"What should I do?"
"It doesn't matter, but don't think too much about it. I really can't go out and I can't tell you that the official has come to Beijing. I can only go out secretly at night."
"Isn't it exciting?"
"Do you want to try it?"
"Think about it, how about... I also sneak out tomorrow night?"
……
Dong Shulan walked in from the front door of Dong Mansion openly.
The light in the front hall was still on. She took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and walked to the door. Dong Shangshu and Mrs. Dong were sitting inside.
She walked in. Dong Shangshu put down the book in his hand, looked at her, and asked: "When did Fu Xiaoguan come to Beijing?"
Dong Shulan was shocked, and Dong Shangshu said again: "He had a conflict with Yan Xiwen at Lantingji, and then went to Sifanglou with Yan Xiwen and others. This book is nothing, but I want to ask you, Why did he tell Yan Xiwen that you were her fiancee?"
It seems that this matter has spread out. Dong Shulan has been prepared for this, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
"My daughter has made a lifelong commitment to Fu Xiaoguan."
Dong Shulan thought that it would take a lot of courage to say this, but at this moment she realized that it was not that difficult, and she even breathed a sigh of relief.
"Absurd!"
Dong Kangping slapped the book in his hand on the table, "How can you do such a big thing! I'm telling you right now, there is no possibility for you and Fu Xiaoguan!"
Dong Shulan listened calmly, and Dong Kangping took a long breath and lowered his voice, "You are so smart, how come you are so stupid about this matter? Fu Xiaoguan's family is a landlord, and he is only a scholar and has no official background. He was half-employed, but now he saved more than 30,000 victims because of his ignorance. Do you know that a disaster is about to happen?"
"My father is telling you this. Within a month, the Linjiang Fu family will be gone. So no matter what the reason is, you must not marry Fu Xiaoguan!"
"Today Yan Shidao came to look for me. Yan Xiwen is about to be released as an official. The affairs between the two of you must be settled before Yan Xiwen leaves Beijing!"
