Chapter 90: A dilemma

"You, you, you're now the master mother, and you have to be a little dignified." Mrs. Lu looked at his daughter and said with a slight accusation. "I'll need a maid to accompany me in the future."

"Daddy!" Lu Pheasant said a little politely, "Husband is concise, I don't like these, don't worry about it." ”

"Okay, good, good, you're the main mother, how dare Dad not listen to you?" Mrs. Lu waved his hand and said helplessly.

"Dad, don't laugh anymore." Lu Pheasant shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly. "By the way, Dad, the money that my daughter deposited in Lu Mansion last time, it is better for my father to send it to the county government as soon as possible."

Mrs. Lu frowned, his face was displeased, and he said in a low voice: "Are you afraid that your father will encroach on it?" ”

"Dad misunderstood, now my husband needs money in many places, and it will be very troublesome if he goes to Lu Mansion to withdraw it." Lu Pheasant patiently explained.

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu nodded, also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "When my father goes back, I will ask your brother to send it." But ......" Mrs. Lu paused, he looked at his daughter, and said again with a solemn expression: "It's better for Pheasant to give birth to a male baby for Pei Gong earlier." Now Pei Gong has sat on the land of a county, and his status is not what it used to be, and his father is also anxious for you. ”

It turned out that Mrs. Lu came today to force his daughter to give birth, obviously he is also old and shrewd, and has wishful thinking. Mrs. Lu didn't care about his daughter's shyness, he continued: "If you give birth to a male baby, half of the property of our Lu Mansion will be given to my grandson." ”

Lu Pheasant didn't expect his father to spend blood, and this half of the family property is a lot of money. Lu Pheasant's eyes flickered, and she also understood why her father was in such a hurry to urge her to give birth. It's just that Liu Yuan doesn't seem to have any plans in this regard. Lu Pheasant smiled reluctantly again, and she also said helplessly: "Dad doesn't have to worry about it, Pheasant understands everything." ”

"If only you understood." Mrs. Lu sighed again, "Now that the war is in chaos, I have ordered someone to bring your second brother and little sister from your single father." ”

"Little sister is willing to come to Pei County?" Lu Pheasant was also a little surprised, her sister Lu Xiao was smart and clever, but she was unwilling to move to Pei County, and in desperation, her second brother Lu Shizhi had to stay in the care of her single father.

"Humph!" Mrs. Lu flicked his sleeves with a sullen snort, and he shouted in a low voice: "I can't help her this time." Okay, the father who should be said also said, you can rest assured in this county office, if there is something, you can order someone to go to Lu Mansion. Remember what your father said to you, you also know the property of our Lu Mansion. ”

"The road is slippery in the snow, but Dad should be slower." Lu Pheasant sent Mrs. Lu out, and when she returned to the house, she was also silent.

Liu Yuan, under the escort of the officials, searched around along the streets, and on snowy days, the streets were deserted. When I arrived at the slum, it was dirty, the streets were intricate, the tiled houses were gradually decreasing, and thatched houses were everywhere. The wind is not stopping, the snow is still falling, and many people's huts are so broken that they can't keep out the cold at all. Even more tragic, there are even children who are still thinly clothed and shivering from the cold. This is the true portrayal of the slum, which is pitiful for its chaos and poverty.

Liu Yuan visited several households, and on the way back, he was solemn in his heart, and after returning to the county office, he immediately ordered someone to invite Xiao He. The latter was writing the law of rewards and punishments at home, and after hearing the order, he also hurried over. Entering the lobby, Xiao He arched his hand and said, "I don't know why the lord is so anxious to come here?" ”

"Xiao Xiancheng, please take a seat." Liu Yuan waved his hand, and then he said again: "I have been patrolling the city just now, and I am very sad that the people in this slum are suffering. Let Xiao Xiancheng come, I also hope to discuss with you. ”

"I see." Xiao He nodded in a condensed voice, "The lord cares about the people, of course He will not refute it." This slum was originally inhabited by homeless people, and there was no land in Pei County, and they were all doing some hard labor on weekdays, so life was naturally not easy. In the past, He also made suggestions to Zhang County, but they were all vetoed by that guy. ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Since Xiao Xiancheng once had a proposal, you might as well say it directly." ”

Xiao He's heart moved, and said: "If you want to fundamentally solve the plight of the slums, you still need to provide land for the displaced people. Meng Ke once said: A hundred acres of land, don't take it away, a few families can be hungry. After a pause, he continued: "Lord, land is the foundation. ”

Liu Yuan thought about it carefully, and also agreed, Xiao He's proposal can indeed solve the problem fundamentally, but there are still so many idle fertile fields in Pei County. "What Xiao Xiancheng said is extremely true, how did you get this property?"

"Huh." Xiao He smiled bitterly, "Most of the fertile land in my Pei County is in the hands of the big families, and Zhang County Ling didn't dare to offend these big families too much, so he didn't agree to He Zhi's proposal." ”

Liu Yuan was taken aback, he already understood what Xiao He meant, "Xiao Xiancheng originally wanted to share some fertile land from these big clans. "He is also in trouble, now that he is attacking Peixian, it is the time when he needs the support of these big clans, if he orders them to give up some of the fertile land to the displaced people, I am afraid that it will cause the families to hide it.

This is a dilemma, Liu Yuan also frowned.

"What is the Lord's plan?" Xiao He stared at Liu Yuan and asked in a deep voice.

Liu Yuan hesitated, he frowned and said, "Let me think about this matter again." ”

"This approach may be a bit radical." Xiao He shook his head slightly, and seemed to sigh a little.

"There is still something that Xiao Xiancheng needs to prepare." Liu Yuan changed the topic and said.

Xiao He bowed again, "Please command." ”

"I want to set up a division of workers, which belongs to Xiao County, and this worker is the craftsman who coordinates and manages." Liu Yuan immediately informed the latter of his recruitment of craftsmen to build blades and repair the city wall.

After Xiao He heard this, he also showed curiosity, and there was no one to say anything about it in the past. However, if it is a unified management of craftsmen, it can improve a lot of production, Xiao He also nodded in response, "Since the lord has made a decision, why should he manage it carefully." ”

"You can discuss this matter with the three elders of Pei County, they have been ordered by me to recruit craftsmen." Liu Yuan commanded again.

"No!" Xiao He is also a capable person who works hard.

Liu Yuan looked at his departing back and was also glad, with Xiao He here, many things could make him feel at ease. However, the matter of the displaced people in the slum can be said to be a battle between him and the Peixian clan, Liu Yuan looked at the snow and was in turmoil.
