Cui Wenqing nodded with a sullen face, obviously having a headache about what Lu Huiqing said.

Only Su Shi was so shocked that he was speechless, and secretly said: At present, the imperial treasury is unable to make ends meet, and it is difficult to make progress, so that An Shixiang's public money is eager to break it into two halves to spend, but he didn't expect that this Hedong Road and Zhenwu Army are so rich that the silver is piled up in the treasury and cannot be used, which is really shocking.

Cui Wenqing thought for a while, sighed and said: "What you said is indeed a problem, silver is piled up in the treasury is worse than stones, and only when it is used can its value be reflected." ”

"Dare to ask the president if he has a good plan for money?" Lu Huiqing hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing smiled faintly.

If you talk about the way, he is naturally countless, to use money, it is very simple, directly enclose the land to engage in real estate development, cut the wool of the people, use money to stimulate real estate, and then sell the land to recover the funds, it is really a million profits.

But it is the court that is so rich, but it is the people who suffer, Cui Wenqing naturally will not act like this, and must think of an idea that the people of the court can win together and achieve common prosperity.

After thinking quietly for a while, Cui Wenqing suddenly thought of a good idea and asked Su Shi: "Brother Su, I don't know how many victims there are in Jiangnan Province now?" ”

Su Shi was in the center of the temple, and he naturally knew all this, and said: "According to the statistics of the household department, the number of people affected by the disaster is about two million. ”

"Two million?" Cui Wenqing frowned, "So, the number of victims is probably between eight million and ten million?" ”

Su Shi bowed his head and said: "Based on the calculation of four to five people in a household, it's about the same." ”

"Then how is the imperial court currently rehousing the victims?"

"Speaking of resettlement, the first thing is money, thanks to the suggestion of Brother Wen Qing's welfare lottery, all the lottery funds have been used to support the disaster area, but because the lottery funds are a trickle, so most of the victims have not been properly resettled, and there are many displacements!" Speaking of the back, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh, obviously saddened by such a situation.

Cui Wenqing thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, we can use the money to buy military bonds and treasury bonds to find a way." ”

Su Shi was stunned for a moment and asked, "I don't know how much money has been issued for treasury bonds and military bonds now?" How much money is deposited? ”

Lu Huiqing interjected: "At present, the silver stored in the treasury is about eight million taels. ”

"Eight million taels?" Su Shi muttered, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Although your money sounds like a lot, there are too many victims in Jiangnan Province, and it is a drop in the bucket to use it, which can only solve the urgent need for a while." ”

"Brother Su, you misunderstood what I meant. I don't want to use the bank's money directly for disaster relief. Cui Wenqing smiled.

"Oh? What does Brother Wen Qing mean? Su Shi frowned and asked.

Cui Wenqing said with a straight face: "Just investing money in disaster relief without regard for returns, the effect is really not good, and I think that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and the method of resettlement can be adopted." ”

"Relocating?" Su Shi and Lu Huiqing were stunned at the same time, looking at each other, obviously not understanding Cui Wenqing's intentions.

"Dare to ask Brother Wen Qing, what is resettlement?" Su Shi hurriedly asked.

Cui Wenqing thought for a while, and said: "I remember that not long ago, the governor complained to me like this, saying that the population of Fuzhou is not prosperous, and the fields are very barren, so agricultural production has been stagnant, and the military rations used by the Zhenwu army are also not guaranteed, and they still need to buy food from outside to barely survive. ”

"Agrarian economy?" Su Shi was stunned by Cui Wenqing's new words, and he didn't know what it meant.

"The so-called agricultural economy, in short, is to develop agricultural productivity, so that the supply of agriculture is both reasonable and demanding."

Su Shi probably understood Cui Wenqing's words, and said: "What Brother Wenqing means, is it that you want to develop the agricultural economy of Fuzhou?" ”

"Yes." Cui Wenqing nodded and said, "With the current conditions of Daqi, there is only one way to develop the agricultural economy in the simplest and most direct way, that is, to increase the agricultural population, as long as there are people, the productivity will be improved, and the grain produced will be more." ”

Lu Huiqing frowned and said, "Does the governor want to increase the population of Fuzhou?" But where do people come from? ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "At present, Fuzhou can be said to have land and money and only lack of people, while Jiangnan Province is overcrowded with people without land and money, and the two can be completely complementary, I mean, the imperial court can arrange for some Jiangnan Province disaster victims to come to Fuzhou for resettlement, and the needs of the disaster victims on the way to Fuzhou are all borne by our Fuzhou, and the fields, houses, household goods, ploughing cattle, etc. required for their resettlement are also provided by our Fuzhou, which not only solves the problem of resettlement of the victims in Jiangnan Province, but also increases and enriches the population of Fuzhou, why not. ”

After listening to the words, Rao is Su Shi was calm and calm, and he also showed a shocked expression, looking at Cui Wenqing stupidly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Cui Wenqing's "resettlement" strategy is really a wonderful and extraordinary method, the imperial court can make Fuzhou and Jiangnan complement each other to solve the problem without spending a penny, which is really a great move!

After thinking about it for a while, Su Shi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, and suddenly slapped his palm on the desk of the case, and said excitedly: "Brother Wenqing, you are really a fucking genius, you can come up with such a solution!" ”

Lu Huiqing also said with a look of admiration: "The president's method is really wonderful, not only to use the money in our treasury to buy fields and houses for the disaster victims, but also to increase the population of Fuzhou, and to promote agricultural production in Fuzhou, which is really a triple win." ”

Su Shi excitedly added: "And the most important thing is that if the implementation of this law can resettle 500,000 households in other places, the number of victims in Jiangnan Province will definitely be greatly reduced, and the imperial court's disaster relief and relief will be much easier, and even more money and food can be used to deal with the war in the northwest. ”

Cui Wenqing shook his hand and smiled: "Okay, don't talk about the good aspects first, you also need to talk about the shortcomings of resettlement, Brother Cui, you live in a temple, I don't know what problems you think is in resettlement?" ”

Su Shi looked thoughtful, thought for a while, and then said: "I feel that there is a very troublesome problem with this policy, that is, leaving home. I believe that Brother Wen Qing should also know that most of the people of Qianshou pay attention to being born in their hometown, living in their hometown, and dying in their hometown, and they want them to come to Fuzhou thousands of miles away from Jiangnan Province, I believe that many people will have scruples, and Jiangnan Road is a rich and elegant place, and Fuzhou is adjacent to the northern border and borders the Liao State of Western Xia, and there is always the danger of being invaded by enemy countries, but I am afraid that the people will hesitate. ”

Su Shi's words can be said to be very pertinent, and he also said the difference in the strategy of resettlement in other places, Cui Wenqing bowed slightly, and couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.
