Chapter 108: This is your Da Xu
"Liu Hua, tomorrow we will recruit 1,000 people from the displaced people to repair the road leading from the mine to the official road, and furthermore, let them speed up the production of honeycomb coal." Ye Qiange said in a deep voice.
"Whoa." Liu Hua's face flashed a trace of hesitation, and said, "Lord Wang, is the monthly money one or two to three taels?" ”
Ye Qiange nodded, sighed, and said, "Let's finish this winter first." ”
To save people, you have to do what you can, Ye Qiange is not quick for a while.
It's just winter, and if the monthly money is too small, it won't be able to feed these homeless people at all.
"What is the cost of this honeycomb coal?"
The raw materials of honeycomb coal, in addition to coal mines, also include yellow mud, lime, wood chips, etc., are extremely cheap, and some can even be used without money.
Wang Changdao replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the cost is very small, and the expenditure is mostly used on the monthly money of the workers. ”
"Five dollars a penny, can you make money?" Ye Qiange asked.
"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Changdao nodded hurriedly and said, "It's much cheaper than burning wood and charcoal, and this honeycomb coal will definitely sell well." ”
Ye Qiange pondered for a moment and said: "The listing of this honeycomb coal will definitely have an impact on the people who sell firewood for a living, you pay more attention, you can give priority to recruiting these people." ”
"Yes." Liu Hua replied, "Lord Wang, when will this coal furnace and honeycomb coal enter the market?" ”
Ye Qiange thought for a while and said, "Just tomorrow." ”
"Whoa."
Ye Qiange didn't stay for long, this place belongs to the suburbs, the wind is strong, Xiao Tiantian wears a lot, but she is still curled up in a ball, hanging on Ye Qiange's chest, refusing to come down.
"Go home."
The carriage flew and clattered towards Chang'an City.
The displaced people along the way remained unabated, and all of them converged in the direction of the city gate.
Before I reached the city gate, I opened the curtain and looked out, and I saw a black and oppressive area, a sea of people, and at a cursory glance, there were at least four or five thousand people.
It's only been a morning's work.
He took a deep breath, lowered the curtain, and said secretly, after today, I am afraid that there will be more and more people.
Among the displaced people, some well-intentioned people saw it and recognized it as Ye Qiange's carriage at a glance, so they ran to both sides of the official road, knelt on the ground and bowed, and shouted thanks such as thanksgiving to Dade.
Some of the beneficials followed suit, prostrate on the ground, their faces full of gratitude.
The carriage continued on its way, and in a moment it disappeared outside the city and entered the city gates.
Back at Zhenbei Wangfu, her mother Jiang Rou heard about Ye Qiange's soup kitchen, took Xiao Tiantian over, frowned and said: "There are so many homeless people, you want to recruit 10,000 people, why do you have so many industries?" ”
"Mother, I have my own measure, you can rest assured."
Recruiting 10,000 people is indeed a bit much, but if you plan it well, it is not indigestible.
Jiang Rou was still worried and said, "After you return to the palace, discuss it with Chan'er, don't come nonsense." ”
Ye Qiange's face twitched a few times, and he pouted: "No, it's just a little thing, how can you alarm her." ”
The unreliable impression is still so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if it is a mother, she doesn't believe in herself.
Ye Qiange touched his nose with a helpless expression.
"Mother, Tiantian is hungry."
Jiang Rou continued to advise, but when she heard Xiao Tiantian crying hungry, she lowered her head and smiled: "The food has already been prepared, just waiting for the two of you." ”
As he spoke, he hugged Britney and walked to the hall.
Since Ye Qiange taught cooking skills to the chefs of the palace, the food level of the palace has been greatly improved, and many new dishes have been created.
After being full of wine and food, Ye Qiange was driven away by Jiang Rou.
Ye Qiange sighed, looking at the sky with a melancholy face, since he crossed over, he had not stayed in the palace for the night.
He pretended to be pitiful and moved out all the leg injuries, thinking that Jiang Rou would be soft-hearted, but in exchange for a ruthless refusal.
Dejected, he returned to the carriage and headed for the palace sullenly.
Originally, he planned to go to the fiefdom, but it was said that the snow was too thick for the carriage to pass, and it was better to go earlier.
Otherwise, you will have to stay in the village for the night.
His palace had not yet been planned, let alone completed.
Dozens of guards followed and went to the village, and I am afraid there was no place to stay.
Why bother, you can only give up.
Back in the palace, Ye Qiange went into the side hall, picked up the charcoal that he had not seen for a long time, and began to draw with a frown.
Now that we have enough people and money, we can start dealing with some things.
He worked on and off for an afternoon, mainly because his memory was blurred, and the knowledge he learned had already been slowly returned to the teachers with the passage of time.
Whew-
After a long time, he picked up the paper, looked through it again, and found that there was nothing missing, so he sighed.
Anyway, I'm a science student.
He raised his eyebrows and thanked all the teachers and many historical web writers in his heart.
Otherwise, whether you can remember it so clearly and restore it is really a bit suspenseful.
With this thing, the palace can start designing.
Put away the pen and paper, and look out the window, it is already pitch black.
"Your Highness, it's time for dinner." Lu Zhi hurriedly said.
"Bring in dinner."
"Lord Wang, Your Majesty is still waiting for you."
Xu Yichan waiting for him to eat?
At this hour, it should have been past dinner.
He was slightly surprised, bowed his head slightly, and went out the door, then turned to the main hall.
Pushing the door in, I saw Xu Yichan half-lying on the kang, reading with her head down by the candle flame.
"Lord Wang."
Father-in-law Zhou whispered.
"Go get dinner ready."
"Whoa."
"Done?" Xu Yichan took her eyes off the book and glanced at him.
Ye Qiange shrugged and said, "You don't have to wait for me." ”
"It's okay, I'm just not hungry." Xu Yichan stood up from the kang, "I heard that you went out of the city today." ”
Ye Qiange rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, you know everything about me, do you still use such an extra move?
He nodded slightly, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "When I went out of the palace this time, I saw many displaced people, at least thousands, why didn't the imperial court allocate funds for disaster relief?" ”
There was a hint of questioning in his words, cold, mixed with indifference.
Xu Yichan was stunned for a moment, a displeasure crossed her face, but it was fleeting, she wrinkled her brows, and said: "Every year, the imperial court allocates funds to relieve the homeless, but in recent years, because of the emptiness of the treasury, the amount of money has become less and less. ”
"So, are you going to let those homeless people fend for themselves, starve to death and freeze to death, and dump their bodies on the side of the road?" Ye Qiange's voice suddenly became a little louder.
His mind couldn't help but think of the scenes he watched today.
Those who are struggling on the brink of life and death, as well as those women and children who are dying of hunger and cold.
The depression in his heart, and the pent-up emotions, suddenly exploded at this moment.
He never hated the sky, he didn't hate this heavy snowfall that had been falling for days.
All he hated was the inaction of those in power.
Since that day, after Xu Yichan talked to him, he thought that the imperial court would take action, take measures, and try its best to save these displaced people.
However, this is just wishful thinking on his part.
"Have you ever seen dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds, of corpses lying on the side of the road, covered in snow into snow bags?" Ye Qiange's eyes were red, he stared at Xu Yichan fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what the expression is on the face of the person who froze to death?" ”
Xu Yichan had never seen Ye Qiange so angry, like a thunderbolt in the nine heavens, as if she was going to devour her.
She could sense his anger, and at this moment, Ye Qiange was like a volcano, spewing endless anger.
"It's not pain, it's not hideous."
"Instead, smile!"
"Hmph, how ridiculous, dead is happier than alive, this is your Da Xu!"
