Chapter 216: Gu Zhao solved this matter
Gu Zhao, who was contemplative, was suddenly clicked, and he looked at Su Mian with a frown.
The silver has already been spent, and if it is spent, it will be very cost-effective, and the reason why they choose to plant twice is to keep the people fed and have enough food.
In order to carry out this mission, Su Mian had already taken the silver, but those people did not cooperate, and they had no better way.
The most important thing is that the people don't get the money, and they don't want to work in vain.
If you want to solve the current problem, the easiest way is to give them the money again.
Obviously this is not the best thing to do for them.
Lu Zhe saw that Gu Zhao hadn't spoken, thinking that he didn't know what to do, so he had to say: "Why don't we give the silver again, after all, the seedlings are the most important, if they can be planted as soon as possible, maybe it's too late?" ”
When you give a piece of silver, that's only one-third of the grain.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Su Mian said firmly.
Now is the time to experience Gu Zhao's thoughts, if he insists on giving money, it is not impossible, but this may not be the best.
So she wanted to know what Gu Zhao thought in his heart.
"Sign an agreement, the second planting is successful, divide their grain, if they don't succeed, according to the silver subsidy, don't let them work in vain." After Gu Zhao pondered, he said softly.
Lu Zhe looked at Gu Zhao in surprise, signed the agreement?
"So what if there are people who want to get the money first and don't want to wait?" Lu Zhe asked cautiously.
After all, the second planting is the first time to do, if you choose so, it is gambling, since the odds are half and half, then most of the people will definitely choose to ask for silver.
Gu Zhao hooked his lips and said with a smile: "This is very simple, the proportion of grain is relatively large, and silver is the employment price, if you choose silver, then there is no food, besides, I am here, don't they still believe in me?" ”
Finally, he continued: "If this succeeds, maybe more people will admire me, and this is a good thing, not a bad thing. ”
"Yes, the emperor has grown up, although we have lost a sum of silver, but if we can reduce the loss and let the people have food, this is the best thing for the people." Su Mian nodded approvingly.
Ah, I'm so smart to have such a great student.
Lu Zhe gave them a strange look, but since they had already decided, he had nothing to say.
"By the way, whose Zhuangzi is this? How can the person in charge even dare to cheat the money of the imperial court? Su Mian suddenly thought of this question and looked curious.
Lu Zhe glanced at the emperor and said embarrassedly: "Yes, it is the Zhuangzi of the emperor's mother and concubine before her death." ”
"What!" Gu Zhao was stunned.
Then he understood that he had not dealt with the affairs of Zhuangzi, and later he directly handed it over to Liu Ce to manage, and now the person in charge should also be Liu Ce's person.
They dare to do this, because they are sure that Liu Ce is behind the blame.
It seems that when he relied on Liu Ce, Liu Ce's hand was already stretched very long, but fortunately he came to his senses.
Otherwise, the Western Sage would have become his Liu Ce's, but with Gu Zhixing, it would be impossible for Liu Ce to get the Western Sage.
"Okay, let's talk about these things afterwards, let's solve the current crisis first." Su Mian waved his hand, it was useless to dwell on these, it was better to deal with the matter here and go back to the capital as soon as possible.
Gu Zhao and Lu Zhe nodded, and the three of them discussed for a while, and finally Su Mian got out of the car first.
She looked at the people with a smile on her face: "Fellow villagers, we are very sorry to take up your time, but today we still have to make things clear, renting the land in the Zhuangzi is your steward's consent, after all, the silver is also directly transferred to him, don't be in a hurry to refute, I have evidence, and I also know that you didn't get the ......silver at all."
As she spoke, Lu Zhe took out the account book, on which it was clearly written that the steward had received the silver.
"Now we still have a plan, we know that everyone's life is not easy, most families can't eat, the emperor is sympathetic to you, so ......" Su Mian said quickly.
Don't let them open their mouths at all.
As soon as the people heard that the emperor was coming, they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor, long live!" ”
"Let's all get up, it's really hard for you on such a hot day." Gu Zhao looked at them with pity.
When the people stood up, they didn't dare to go to see Gu Zhao, but the old elders stood up and said to Gu Zhao: "Your Majesty, the grass people know that the emperor loves the people like a son, so even if they don't give silver, the grass people will plant the fields well." ”
"Uncle, that's not what I said, we should have given silver when we rented your land, but the person in charge escaped, and I was also very distressed, I can't give good things to bad people, but you need to suffer, right?" Gu Zhao explained very kindly.
His words made the old man not know what to say, it was their blessing to have a little emperor who was so sympathetic to their people.
"It's okay, Your Majesty, it's okay for us to be bitter......" Anyway, they have long been accustomed to such hard days. starting point
It is their honor to be able to do things for the emperor.
Gu Zhao shook his head with a straight face, and said solemnly: "I experimented with secondary planting, in order to let the people of the Western Sage be fed, if I squeezed you from the beginning, would I still be a person?" What's the point of all this I'm doing? ”
"But the steward has run away......," the old man hesitated.
It's not that they don't want money, it's that the stewards took their money and ran away, and they can't let Gu Zhao pay for it.
Gu Zhao smiled and shook his head: "I will let people arrest him, now I have a solution, because it is the first time to plant a second time, I am also worried that I will lose all my money, so here is an agreement, you can take a look, if you want, sign it." ”
He did not say that he would take the money if he did not want to, because he believed that such a loyal people would not cheat him.
Then Lu Zhe said the agreement, the content is probably that the people who participate in this second planting, if successful, will get more grain than silver, and there will be additional subsidy silver every month, if you don't want food, after the harvest, you will be given a certain amount of silver compensation, but this silver is not as much as food, at most two taels of silver.
"You can think about it, the silver subsidy has something to do with how many main laborers you have in your household." Lu Zhe shouted loudly.
In fact, when he was on the carriage, Gu Zhao had already noticed that most of the villagers here were old and weak, and the labor strength of young and middle-aged people was still in the minority.
If you had to choose, most would choose grain.
After listening to the content of the agreement, everyone began to discuss, although they had not read much, but they still knew the most basic accounting.
After about a stick of incense, someone whispered, "What if the grain planted twice is not successful?" ”
Don't people who gamble on food look forward to a good year? But if you don't succeed, won't you be working in vain?
"You don't have to worry about this, everyone has heard of 'Mianmian Ice Drink Shop', right? If the grain is not successfully planted, the emperor and I will take out the silver from the 'Mianmian Ice Drink Shop' to subsidize you, and the promised amount of grain will be as much silver as possible. Su Mian said with a smile.
Of course, she still has a lot of confidence in herself.
As soon as her words came out, all the people were surprised and excitedly said, "You are Miss Su?" Miss Su, you are a good person! ”
"Yes, Miss Su, I didn't expect that we would be able to see you one day, good people will definitely have good rewards!"
"Long live Miss Su, long live the emperor!"
“……”
Su Mian: "??? ”
What did I do to make them so excited? Could it be the rescuer?
But I don't seem to care about that......
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Su Mian asked in a low voice.
Gu Zhao smiled proudly, this is all his credit, it was he who made Su Mian's name specially brought when he gave subsidies to poor families, originally this matter was what she thought, and there should be her name.
Su Mian saw him smiling and silent, so he didn't continue to ask.
It's a big deal that after she goes back, she will ask Gu Zhixing, thinking of Gu Zhixing, Su Mian's heart is a little empty, because he is still dealing with the matter of twists and turns.
The next thing is when the people sign their names, but most of them don't know how to write their names, so Su Mian asked Lu Zhe to write them first, and then let them write their names accordingly, and then press their fingerprints.
After all this was done, it was almost noon, Su Mian, Gu Zhao and the others took a bite casually, and then took the seedlings and went to the ground.
Although the person in charge ran away, before he got the silver, he supervised them to turn over the land, which was also checked by Lu Zhe, so he gave the silver.
The common people who had just finished eating saw Gu Zhao taking the seedlings to work, and they hurriedly came over to stop them: "Your Majesty, how can you do this kind of rough work?" And Miss Su, you put it down, and we'll do it ourselves in a while. ”
"It's not in the way, it's not the first time that the emperor and I have done this." Su Mian smiled.
Gu Zhao nodded: "Yes, I got the seedlings yesterday, and these seedlings also have my credit!" ”
His words immediately made the people's eyes red, it was their blessing to have such a good emperor, and everyone knelt down again and shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”
Gu Zhao didn't know why they knelt down, it was just a few words, and they knelt down excitedly.
"Okay, you guys get up first, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, but he is also a human being, you are his people, he feels sorry for you, it is normal to work with you, don't be so restrained." Su Mian said busily.
There was already so much delay in the morning, and if it continued, I didn't know when it would be finished, and the seedlings would not be able to continue to be consumed.
Gu Zhao nodded: "You all get up, I am the same as you now, I am a person who works hard for food." ”
It was only after his words were down that the people stood up.
