Chapter 216: A drop in the bucket
If it weren't for the DPRK-China matter, Han Tingwen wouldn't have to call him over in such a hurry.
Mu Yan licked her lips with satisfaction, and answered her words obediently: "I have arranged for new guards to send the silver taels and jewelry to the north, but there is still no way to solve the matter with these silver reliefs. ”
Fundraising is just a drop in the bucket, and in the end, it is up to them to come up with a way to completely solve the disaster.
"Qianyu accompanied the king of Qingjiang to send silver, the disaster relief went very smoothly, it was relieved, because he and General Zheng were on the road, no one dared to fight the idea of corruption, everything was normal."
Mu Guichen said slowly, but the three of them knew very well in their hearts what the biggest difficulty would be next.
At this time, Qian Yu took out a map of the terrain of the north and south from his arms, this time he went to the north and south with the king of Qingjiang, and probably remembered the terrain, so he wrote it down, thinking that it should be of some use.
If they hadn't gathered together today, Qian Yu would have almost forgotten about this map.
"This is a topographic map drawn by my subordinates with King Qingjiang and them, and I think it should be useful."
As soon as he put the map on the table, Rong Xi said excitedly: "With this map, why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”
Glancing at the map, Rong Xi suddenly thought of a good idea.
"Look at this place, it's all wasteland, no one has cultivated it, if you can reclaim all these fields, it's not a bad thing, not to mention, now that the people are hungry, they should have more food."
She thought of the method of "tuntian", so that the soldiers could reclaim the ownerless wasteland, which could not only ensure the abundance of land and tax problems, but also lead the people in the disaster area to work for relief and have a certain income.
But it was not as easy as imagined.
"That sounds like a good idea."
Mu Yan nodded, thinking about the plan given by Rong Xi.
As soon as he heard Mu Yan say this, Rong Xi became interested, and hurriedly told the two of them his own thoughts, and was also ready to increase the number of imperial merchants.
"Nope."
She enthusiastically came up with a solution, thinking that it could solve the problem.
didn't expect Mu Guichen to be the first person to oppose her, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately rejected her plan.
"Why?"
looked at Mu Guichen angrily, Rong Xi looked at him, that posture seemed to ask Mu Guichen to say a reasonable reason, otherwise, she would not give up.
"Although Tuntian can improve the food of the people, but now it can be harvested as quickly as imagined, not to mention, I don't know when there will be a flood or drought, so it is not a good way anyway, on the other hand, now that the famine victims are changing, the imperial court should raise troops to prepare for riots."
Mu Guichenzai carefully said what he thought in his heart, and his statement was also reasonable, Mu Yan listened to his words and nodded.
"But if we don't solve the food problem and keep delaying it, then the people will still starve to death in the future."
She argued with him angrily, and in an instant, the atmosphere became hot.
"That's right, raising soldiers is a big deal, and we must raise soldiers in case of emergency."
He followed the argument and felt that his own idea was also correct, and neither of the two would let anyone, but neither could convince the other.
Mu Yan looked at the two of them one by one, only to feel that the matter was originally very complicated, and it was even more chaotic to be made by them like this.
"My aunt's thoughts are as good as my aunt's, and so are the thoughts of the prince."
Mu Yan said softly, trying to make it possible for the two of them to stop arguing.
"Okay, Yan'er, tell me, whose method is better?"
As if he had found someone who could be judged, Rong Xi immediately grabbed Mu Yan and wanted him to tell whose method was better.
Mu Yan originally just wanted to persuade him, but he didn't expect to involve himself as well.
"Huh?"
He looked at the two of them blankly, and Mu Guichen followed and looked at him seriously.
"I feel as if what both of them said makes sense." Touching the back of his head, Mu Yan said weakly, not daring to offend one of them.
"No, today you have to talk about whose method is good!"
grabbed Mu Yan to prevent him from escaping, Rong Xi forced him to give him a choice.
"Auntie......"
He was coquettish, wanting to escape this catastrophe, he knew that Rong Xi couldn't stand his coquettishness the most, and he would definitely be able to let her go.
But this time, Rong Xi is really on the right with Mu Guichen, she feels that there is no problem with her own method, not to mention, she is expanding the granary, stockpiling grain in case of unexpected floods, droughts, and insect disasters, and she can also take out food for the people.
"No, you have to talk about it, don't want to mess around with coquettishness, you say it quickly."
Grabbing him, Rong Xi said seriously, Mu Yan rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to think of being able to withdraw, after all, he couldn't afford to offend either of these two people.
"In this way, tomorrow morning, my aunt and the prince will tell their thoughts, and let the ministers see whose method is right, okay?"
Thinking of a perfect method, Mu Yan threw all the choices to the ministers of the court, so that even if one of them was elected, he would not offend the two of them.
Letting go of Mu Yan, Rong Xi looked at Mu Guichen and coughed softly: "Yes, then let's see whose ideas can be approved by the ministers tomorrow." ”
She said confidently, believing that her method would definitely be supported by the ministers.
Mu Yan was relieved to see that the flames of war had been extinguished a lot, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, he finally escaped.
But I never thought that in the early dynasty, when the method was said, Rong Xi's method was not approved by the ministers, thinking that this matter would threaten the interests of the ministers, and this would not be supported by the ministers anyway.
What's more, this kind of thing, the possibility of a riot by the victims is extremely high, and for them, Mu Guichen's suggestion is better.
Rong Xi knew the result and was so angry that he couldn't eat.
"Niangniang, don't be angry about this anymore, your body is your own, and you can't raise it yourself, how can you do it?"
Seeing that she had never touched the dishes and chopsticks since she came back from the next dynasty, Lu Qi persuaded her bitterly.
"Lu Qi, you talk about it, the mourning family doesn't understand, why is this method not good."
She said dejectedly, still very unwilling.
