Noble son of the poor family (32)

The holy car has been withdrawn, but there is no chaos in the capital. Not only was there no chaos, but eight direct grain supply points were also set up in each urban area. It's all cheap grain, and it's already being sold.

If there is a wealthy laborer in the family, whether male or female, he can come out and receive a pound of grain for a day's errands.

With this pound of food, even if a few people in a family drink porridge every day, at least they can't starve to death. If you are an elderly person without children or an orphan without parents, you can also receive half a catty of food for free every day.

These have to be carried out according to the roster, not sloppily at all. If there are those below who dare to deceive and enrich their own pockets. You have to be careful of the people in the monitoring team who have red ribbons on their arms in the alleys full of streets.

As a member of the monitoring team, if you find a case of such a thing and verify it to be true, you will be rewarded with two taels of silver.

So, for them, covering up is simply stupid. There are two taels of silver, which can be exchanged for affordable grain, which is enough for the family to eat for three or two months. Moreover, these people are laborers from families who cannot afford to buy food. It is itself a person who has been unjustly treated in the past. He resents these actions from the bottom of his heart. The fourth master arranged for cross-posting, and if his home was in the north of the city, he would go to the south of the city to be on duty. There's no need to be afraid of retaliation or personal ties. For those who dare to risk their lives and do not follow the regulations, they will be directly fined and confiscated and driven out of the capital.

On the one hand, the investigation is strict. On the other hand, the penalties are heavy.

As a result, the entire capital became peaceful and stable. Not even a single one of them.

Fang Changqing was in charge of the monitoring team, and he was a little idle.

Walking around the street, I found that the capital began to be lively again.

Some shops have already opened their doors for business.

"This cowherd baby is not small. Fang Changqing's heart was sour. However, he said in his heart, "In the end, the dignitaries are gone, and the capital is half empty." If the capital is half empty, can it still be the capital?"

At this moment, the fourth master took the data calculated by Lin Yutong, "It seems that before the beginning of spring, we still have to fill this capital again." ”

Lin Yutong said: "If you leave the dignitaries, there will be new dignitaries." It's a given. But if this capital wants to be prosperous now, the first is commodities, all kinds of commodities that meet people's needs, and the second is people, there must be enough people to ......"

The fourth master smiled in a low voice, "Let's take it one step at a time." It's a blessing that no one starved to death. With these grains, the capital is worry-free. But the most important thing is the spring ploughing at the beginning of next year. ”

"The water has receded and they must be encouraged to return home. Lin Yutong said, "Farmland can't be wasted. ”

"The so-called rebels who have risen in various places will not stop, even if they are given more things, who will dare to return. The fourth master frowned, "However, farm tools, ploughing cattle, seeds, money and grain must all be prepared in advance." ”

Lin Yutong nodded, "What we have now is only to appease the capital." It is easier said than done to help the two provinces. ”

The two slowly fell silent.

The fourth master used to firmly believe in one sentence, that is, it is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country.

But now I found out that that kind of understanding is actually superficial. The common people still know that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, not to mention that she has to be such a broken family now. What's the most difficult? If you don't have any money in your hand, it's hard for the treasury to be empty? No, it's because you can't buy anything with the money.

"When I was studying economics, I said that economic crisis is something that only exists in an academic society. The fourth master shook his head, "But the master said that this economic crisis has never stopped." Today's society is an agricultural economy, and the growth of crops has cycles. Therefore, the biggest characteristic of an agrarian society is its cyclical nature. Once this cycle is broken, an economic crisis comes, or even evolves into a social crisis. ”

Lin Yutong already knew what the fourth master was going to say. The economic crisis of the agrarian society is caused by natural disasters, such as wind, fire, thunder, lightning, drought and flood. Or war and land annexation. If there is no crop in the land, there is no product. And so the economic crisis came.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, emperors have paid attention to farming, which is the reason. This is also another sense of centering on economic construction.

To survive the crisis, then calm the war, restore production, and encourage population reproduction. That's what the economy is doing.

The two of them were about to talk again, and Cheng Feng's voice sounded outside: "Master, madam, the old lady is here." ”

Yin Lao Er?

"Please. The fourth master said and stood up.

Lin Yutong followed behind the fourth master, and before he could go out, Yin Lao Er lifted the curtain and came in.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

The two saluted and invited Yin Lao Er to take a seat. Then Lin Yutong personally served the tea.

Yin Lao Er is congested at this time, when will he start to meet one by one, just saluting, he is very unaccustomed to it.

This study is full of books. And I took stacks of paper, and I didn't know what it was.

His son was secretly learning when he was herding cattle, he knew. The daughter-in-law's grandfather is an old talent, and the daughter-in-law is literate, and everyone in the ten miles and eight villages knows it. Therefore, at that time, when I married a girl from the Lin family, I said that I earned it.

But looking at the two of them really looking like scholars, he was still a little awkward. He hoped that his son would be able to make a little money, marry a good daughter-in-law, and earn a hundred acres of land. can be the master of the house, and then give birth to two grandchildren, for the grandson to study, become an official in the future, and change the court.

And now that he looks at it, he feels that his son deserves to be an official.

He has never been a so-called good person, so from the perspective of him not being a good person, what his son has done recently is a bit scary.

He couldn't sleep for the past few days.

"Shiro, don't lie to your father. What the hell do you want to do?" Yin Lao Er looked at the fourth master, his expression was obviously a little panicked.

The fourth master pursed the corners of his mouth, "Dad, you can enjoy peace of mind, and you will not be able to explain other things clearly for a while......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard hurried footsteps outside. The fourth master turned his head and looked out.

Lin Yutong hurriedly walked out, and saw that Cheng Feng had already come in, "Master, madam, Commander Hu is here, there is something urgent." ”

The fourth master glanced at Yin Lao Er, and saw that he looked firm, as if he refused to leave without an answer, so he ordered: "Call in." ”

When Hu Da came in, the fourth master was already sitting on the main seat.

"Old lady Ann. Hu Da saluted, and then looked at the fourth master without saying anything.

The fourth master said, "It's okay, just say it." What's wrong?"

Hu Da hurriedly said, "Master, today, according to your orders, Beicheng has let a group of homeless people in. But several suspicious people were found below. But when the people were controlled, these people kept saying that they wanted to see the fourth master. said that a man in white sent a letter. ”

Yin Saburo!

The fourth master and Lin Yutong glanced at each other, and Yin Lao began to tremble. It's easy for his son to gain a foothold in the capital, and if it is known that he is a brother with the thief, it won't ruin everything.

"What about people?" asked the fourth master.

Hu Da hurriedly knelt down, "Fourth master, these people seem to have accomplices, seeing that the people who came in were arrested, and the people who didn't come in outside the city took the opportunity to run away, I was afraid that they would fall into the hands of the Xishan camp stationed outside the city......"

He was also terrified at this time, what did this fourth master want to do, he didn't dare to think deeply. Nowadays, who doesn't know that he is the fourth master. The fourth master has fallen, what good can these people get?

"Get up. The fourth master waved his hand, "Don't kneel down without moving." If something happens, just find a way to solve it. Such an unexpected situation is inevitable. ”

Only then did Hu Da get up.

The fourth master knocked on the table, "In this way, I am also missing those people, you go out of the city directly, press the people out of the city, and hand them over to General He." Just say that this is a spy who has mixed in, and ask General He to deal with it. ”

Hu Da was stunned for a moment, "Master, if you say something......

The fourth master snorted, "Then let's talk about it." Even if we don't say it, General He will be able to coexist peacefully with us? Besides, it is General He's duty to quell the rebels and thieves. Guarding the capital is the master's business. The master is open-minded and not afraid of any gossip. Let's not interfere with General He's counterinsurgency. Go for it, the sooner the better. ”

Hu Da bowed and turned to leave.

Lin Yutong's eyes flashed, "This General He ......" said, she looked at the fourth master.

The fourth master nodded, he just wanted to use General He as a knife.

These days, he hangs with grain and grass, he can't eat enough and can't starve to death, he has concerns about attacking him, and he is reluctant to withdraw if he wants to retreat. Now, it's almost hanging.

Yin Lao Er couldn't understand what dumb riddles these two people were playing, but when he thought of San Lang, he secretly gritted his teeth again. This nephew is really haunted. What did he want to do when he sent someone to the capital?" ”

The fourth master smiled, "Dad, if my son weren't what he is now, General He would have tied up our family and then blackmailed San Lang." San Lang thought about Wang Tu's hegemony, and General He thought about counterinsurgency. Who do you think cares about our life and death? So, you ask your son what he is going to do? The son can only say, this is the same as when we came out of the house, we are saving our lives. At the end of the day, it's about living. ”

Yin Lao Er was silent for a long time, and then sighed, "I really should go to our ancestral tomb to see where the smoke is coming from." One by one, it's amazing. In this world, it is not easy to live. It's even harder to live well. You are not afraid of the young, but what am I afraid of? If it happens, then the chicken dog will ascend to heaven. If it doesn't work, it's a big deal to stay together and die. Anyway, these days, all the blessings that should be enjoyed have been enjoyed. No loss!"

Lin Yutong couldn't cry or laugh, "Father-in-law, go back and rest." I don't get to that. As he spoke, he called Cheng Feng, "Send the old lady back to the backyard." ”

When everyone left, the fourth master and Lin Yutong sighed at each other. Even Yin Lao Er can see his ambitions, so what about this capital and this world? Who can't see it?

But now, it's really not time to show up. You can't be the target of public criticism.

"I'll write an excerpt right away,...... the fourth master said, and he picked up the pen......
