Chapter 143: Confronting Poverty

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Of course you can, but I have to take care of the newly cultivated places first, so this policy has been implemented in Qian'an, Taiwan, and southern Liaoning, and now there are too few manpower, so I can't use it in the mainland for a while." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Saint, there are too many people in the inner palace who have nothing to do, why don't you put them here to do this, first, it is convenient for the farmers, and secondly, it is also to give the internal officials something to do and earn some money for future security." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I really didn't expect these redundant internal officials, after you go back this time, you organize a trading company to do this, I don't believe it, every family raises pigs and chickens, and the farmers will be so poor." ”

Xuan Ming said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that you have to do it in the name of the government, otherwise those who put the money in the seal will not let them do this." ”

Wei Zhongxian laughed and said: "The master is too worried, with Dongchang behind him, I don't think any loan sharks dare to touch them, unless they are impatient." ”

Zhu Youxiao also smiled: "The master didn't expect it for a while, but if he dares to bully the internal officials, it will be really long." ”

Hao Ming also said: "The poor monk has forgotten the might of the factory father. ”

A few people returned to the front while talking, and at this time, the two Hakka also walked out accompanied by Erzhu Niang. The Ke family was full of tears, and said goodbye to Erzhu Niang. She walked up to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Brother, she is still working outside, so she can repay the money she borrowed last time, and the concubine gave her fifty yuan just now, do you think it's appropriate?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The nurse has a heart." However, Erzhu's pension will be issued, and they will soon be able to live a good life. ”

Ke said: "Those who put the money of the gods, Sanzhu was sick and his family only borrowed five yuan, and after a month, it became fifteen yuan, and then it became thirty-five, brother, arrest them all." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "The nurse thinks too simply, if you arrest them, the farmer's life will not be easy, maybe it will be even more sad." The Wei Guild had people form a trading company to help the peasants borrow a little money when they needed it, although they didn't make much money, but on the one hand, it was convenient for the peasants, and on the other hand, it supported the officials in the palace. ”

Ke Shi said with a smile: "Well, the concubine has received many rewards from the saint, so she will take out 4,000 yuan and invest it in the trading company, so as to help the hard-working people." ”

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Mrs. Fengsheng cares about the poor, it is really merciful and compassionate. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled silently. The Hakka family wanted to help him, so he took out the money for charity, but Zhu Youxiao knew that it was impossible for a trading company to lose money and form a nationwide lending network, and such a trading company was afraid that it would become a terrifying business monster in the future.

Wei Zhongxian continued: "The slave and maid also received a large amount of rewards from the saint, and they did not dare to take more, so they also invested 4,000 yuan in the trading company to help the saint help the poor people in the world. ”

Ke said: "The factory father does not have to worry about the concubine, the concubine's child is not very obedient, and he needs to prepare some money for him to squander, the good secretary of the factory family is very competitive." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I heard that everything is fine, didn't Hou Guoxing do a good job in Jinyiwei?" Wei Liangqing said last time that he wanted to enter the agricultural department, I went out and stuffed him in, and last time I asked the professor, he was also very good. ”

Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Youxiao say that he had gone the way, and he was secretly amused in his heart. His nephew Wei Liangqing had obtained the emperor's permission to pass under his name and became his son. Wei Liangqing is a farmer in his hometown, after entering Beijing, Wei Zhongxian wanted him to be a guard in brocade clothes, but he didn't want Wei Liangqing to be unwilling, and he heard that there was a special learning of farming in the school run by the emperor, so he begged his uncle to find a way to let him go in to study.

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to find other relationships, so he could only go directly to the emperor to make a statement, Zhu Youxiao heard that Wei Liangqing actually wanted to learn agriculture, and immediately expressed his support and specially approved him to enter the agricultural department. When he gave a lesson to the agricultural department, he found that this man was down-to-earth and intelligent, and he was a very good agricultural expert.

And the son of the Hakka family, Hou Guoxing, that is, Zhu Youxiao's milk brother, Yin Jinyi Wei Qianhu. Originally, he didn't care about anything, but he didn't want this guy to be very interested in Jinyiwei's dress and style, and he must enter Jinyiwei to do things, and would rather start as a captain (this captain is not a captain in the army, but a clerk at the bottom), and finally Luo Sigong had to let him be a small flag (from the seventh grade), only more than two years, and he has been promoted to a hundred households (six grades).

Zhu Youxiao said: "Four thousand yuan is four thousand yuan, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, Concubine Duan, are you willing to pay?" ”

Duan Ying said with a smile: "The rewards of the concubines are all jewelry, and the concubines must first discuss this matter with Niangniang and Wanmei, and the three of them can pay together." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "If your family has extra money, you can also let them take out some of it and invest it in the trading company, although it can't be said to make money, at least it won't lose money." ”

Seeing that the emperor had even targeted his father-in-law's money, the Hakka family asked in a low voice, "Brother, is there a lot of money?" Then the concubine should take out a little more money, okay? ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "This time the trading company, I am going to divide it into 100,000 shares, 1,000 yuan per share, the total amount will be 100 million yuan, if you have any relatives and friends, you can ask to see if you intend to fund the farmer, in a word, you take the money out, you will not let you suffer." ”

Everyone walked all the way, and the more Zhu Youxiao looked at his face, the more heavy he became. Most of the peasants here are very poor, and houses like Erzhu's house are already good, and some half-grown children are helping the family mow the grass, Zhu Youxiao grabbed a child and asked, "How old are you?" ”

The little child looked at the well-dressed people and was too frightened to speak. Duan Ying stepped forward and took out a piece of candy and said, "If you answer, this piece of candy will be given to you to eat." ”

At this time, another child rushed out and shouted, "He's nine years old, give me sugar." As he spoke, he grabbed Duan Ying's hand.

Duan Ying dodged and said with a smile: "What do you say is your name, how old are you, this piece of candy will be given to you to eat." ”

The child said, "My name is Wang Tiedan, and I am nine years old this year. He looked at the candy with a blank look, but stopped grabbing it, because he knew he couldn't.

Duan Ying put the sugar in Wang Tiedan's hand and said, "There are still some questions, if you answer, I still have sugar here." ”

Wang Tiedan nodded, and carefully put the candy cube in a small pocket on the placket of his clothes. Zhu Youxiao looked at his bare feet and asked, "Why are you all barefoot, isn't it cold?" ”

Wang Tiedan said with a smile: "I have a pair of cloth shoes at home, which my mother made for me, and I won't wear them until the New Year's Festival." It's not cold, it's spring now, and I wear straw sandals in winter. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Wang Tiedan, how many people do you have in your family, and how much land have you planted in total?" ”
