To put it simply, it is four words: cash-for-work. Let the people have work to do and can make money to support themselves, and everything will be fine. Ye Sheng said eloquently: "The kid has asked all the fellow villagers to register and make a register for the big guy, as long as they have a skill, they can be arranged to work in the workshop." For example, if you know how to carpenter, you can go to a furniture workshop, and if you know how to make wine, you can go to a winery. Young and clever, sent to the store as a buddy. ”

"Okay, this method is good" Bao Zhixian exclaimed: "Good idea, by the way, how many people can the virtuous nephew arrange?" ”

Ye Sheng smiled bitterly: "The old parents also know that the students' workshops and shops have been taken away by the father-in-law, and there are still two manors in the family that can accept up to 100 people, and the vast majority of the people still have no work." "Bao Xian Ling has just come to be an official, and he is not very clear about the matter, but Li Xian Cheng is a local snake who knows the things below. At that time, it was so big that it almost killed Ye Sheng. It has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't bother to care, not now, Ye Sheng is the apprentice of Grand Master Sima. It seems that he is good with Fan Zhongyan and Fan Xiang, at that time, the case was still what happened during the period when he was acting for the county order, although he did not get benefits and did not participate, but it is difficult to ensure that Ye Sheng will hate himself after becoming an official, and he really can't afford to provoke others as a petty official. At that time, he got up and said: "At that time, Ye Xianggong and his father-in-law theorized that they were injured by robbers, and I knew that Shen Liang's matter should have been sent a long time ago, because there was still a matter of reselling illicit salt behind him, so I wanted to clean it up together in the future." "Since Ye Xianggong mentioned it today, Zhao Zhutou, you will immediately send someone to find out the matter and handle it." When Ye Sheng heard this, he remembered that there was still this matter, and nodded to Zhao Xiancheng without gratitude. Let's not say that Zhao Zhutou rode a fast horse here and took the official to handle the case, let's first say that Fan Zhongyan liked Ye Sheng more and more, and looked at him when he talked about the major events in the family. I feel like I have a lot of demeanor on my body. Sima Guang also stepped forward to inquire about what happened, and complained: "I don't tell the teacher about such a big thing, this person is so vicious and dares to attack the student, he really deserves to be killed." Ye Sheng hurriedly said: "This family affair is also determined by my father, and this daughter has grown up in the family since she was a child, and she is a very good person, and after the incident, she risked her life to protect me, and I also want to obey my father's orders." I don't have the intention of repairing my wife and taking it again, so I can't make up my mind. Sima Guang sighed slightly and said: "Let's not talk about this matter today, I'll go back and let your wife worry about your marriage, and talk about this disaster relief first." ”

Just now, regarding the number of people reported by Ye Sheng, Ye Sheng had already reached the limit, and he couldn't bear to be harsh anymore. It's just that, "Grand Master Sima, Fan Xianggong, you look at this."

Okay, wouldn't it be easy to let all the workshops and shops in Mengjin and Luoyang stand up to help, and each family can solve some refugees? ”

Sima Guang shook his head slowly: "Stupid, the old man is welcome, who among the merchants in Luoyang City can compare to my disciple benevolence?" The forced blockade of the people passed, and the merchants complained, which would inevitably cause the fire to be inflicted on the refugees, and when the time came, the two would clash, and the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Things fell into an eerie silence again, and neither Fan Zhongyan nor Sima Guang had any ideas. With his head down, he paced back and forth, gloomy and overwhelmed, unable to hold back his thoughts.

Only Ye Sheng's heart was excited, what he wanted was this, you have an idea, who will listen to me

If such a large number of people can be brought under his command, it will be of great benefit to him in the future.

"Teacher Qiyu, the student still has a plan, but it needs the approval of Prime Minister Fan." Sima Guang woke up like a dream, and said in surprise: "I know that your kid has a way, hurry up." "The kid's method can't get rid of the four words of work for relief, but it can turn to let the people dredge the Luoyang section of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal again. Rebuild the Mengjin Luoyang section and the Mengjin ferry, and now the war between China and the Western Xia will begin immediately, and the border passes will be connected after the repair. The materials can be transported immediately, which can be faster than road transportation, saving a lot of materials and manpower. Such a thing that is of great benefit to the fight against Western Xia, the imperial court will definitely support it, as long as the imperial court supports it, the difficulty of the matter will be reduced by half."

Fan Zhongyan was proficient in military affairs, of course he knew how high the military value would be if he built the canal at this time, he suddenly became excited, but he was a little worried.

"If you want to build a canal, you don't have three or five hundred thousand taels of silver, but I'm afraid that it won't be done, can the court be willing to pay?"

Ye Sheng smiled slightly: "The court will be willing, because there is no need for the court to give a tael of silver."

Ye Sheng smiled calmly: "In the past, relying on the power of the imperial court alone, it was a chore to recruit people and build water conservancy, which took a lot of money. But now it is different, when the war breaks out, the merchants are the hardest hit group, and the expectation of shipping is stronger than ever. At this time, as long as you know the benefits and take the checkpoint tax after the canal is built as a guarantee, you can borrow silver and grain from merchants, and rely on money and food to drive tens of thousands of homeless refugees to build the canal. ”
