Chapter 11 Cash-for-Work
Gently putting the fold down, Yang Yu slowly got up, and the original happy expression began to disappear, replaced by a sad look.
"No one wants to leave their hometowns, send people under the fence, the people are displaced, all they want is a life's food, the people in the Daxing area are kind-hearted, and they are trying their best to help the people who have been affected by the disaster. The king was sympathetic to the suffering of the exiles, but he was also glad to have such a kind people, and was proud to have such a people. ”
"His Royal Highness the Acting King has mercy on the people, which is really a blessing of great prosperity." Wei Wensheng congratulated.
He didn't know the content of the excerpts, but he habitually made the first move, so as not to miss the opportunity.
Yang Yu nodded and continued: "This king wants to help the victims, but he can't chill the hearts of these kind people, and after worrying day and night, he finally got along with a way to get along with the best of both worlds. ”
Oh! The curiosity of the officials was raised, what can a child who is only thirteen years old do, don t look at the usual officials are respectful to Yang Yu, but there is not much awe of him in their hearts, after all, his age is there.
"Cash-for-work." Yang Yu said categorically.
The ministers are not unfamiliar with the word "work for relief", the work for relief originated in the Zhou Dynasty, the earliest record of the text is found in the book "Book of Rites", "The Book of Rites, the Moon Order" has a record of "the month of the spring season, the barnage, the poverty, and the lack of vitality". "Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicles" contains "Xujun Guocangli to promote poverty". "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Chronicle of the Quality Emperor" has a record of "Fang Chun Ring Festival, Relief and Lack of Misfortune". It can be seen from this that from the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Zhen" was changed to "relief".
Looking at the previous poverty alleviation and disaster relief activities, the measures adopted mainly included tax reduction, tax exemption, equalization, relief, loans, security, and bereavement benefits. Reduction and exemption, that is, tax reduction; Pingzhen, that is, the transfer and sale of grain at parity in disaster years; Relief includes food relief, money relief, material relief, porridge relief and work relief.
However, these disaster relief efforts are generally carried out in the affected areas, and a large number of people have entered the Daxing area.
Looking at the confused eyes of the ministers, Yang Yu couldn't help but become proud, and said: "It will not be long before the people of Daxing serve the forced labor, and the people of Daxing have been miserable about the forced labor over the years, and they are unwilling to serve the forced labor, and now a large number of displaced people have entered the Daxing area, and all they ask for is a full meal, for."
Speaking of this, Yang Yu paused, looked at the ministers underground, and many ministers already understood that the conscription in the Sui Dynasty had always been very heavy, and the people in the Daxing area were so wealthy that most of them were unwilling to serve the conscription.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King means that this year the Daxing area will be exempted from forced labor, and these displaced people will serve the forced labor instead of the people of Daxing." The bone instrument pretended to be surprised.
In fact, he went on this trick to relieve Yang Yun, and deliberately did not point it out directly, which also meant to test Yang Yun. Sure enough, Yang Yu did not disappoint him, and unceremoniously took this idea for himself to increase his prestige.
Maybe everyone knows what is going on, and no one will say it, and it will be spread to the people, and everyone is grateful for the benevolence and righteousness of His Royal Highness the Acting King.
"What Lord Bone said is very true. However, it is not to exempt from forced labor, but to pay for it, after all, we have no money in Daxing Panku, and we still have to feed so many disaster victims. However, the king promised that he would be exempted from forced labor in the Daxing area for three years. Yang Yu said.
"But the Great Sui Law stipulates that sixty-year-old people can pay money for service, and now all of them are allowed to pay money for service, there is no precedent!" A white-haired Ministry official stepped forward.
As soon as the words fell, they were despised by all the surrounding officials, and they were not allowed to pay all the money to serve on their behalf, so you will pay the money to support the homeless! If there is one more person to pay, then there is one more homeless person, do you still want to pay for the most rearly household department, and go to drink the northwest wind collectively next month! Seeing the faces of the people around him, the official of the Ministry of Rites also knew that he had said something wrong, and slipped back into the team in a gray manner.
"This matter is decided, if the imperial grandfather is to blame, this king will bear it," Yang Yu waved his hand, and said righteously.
"The ministers swear to advance and retreat together with His Royal Highness the Acting King." Wei Wensheng took the lead, and all the officials collectively echoed.
"This time I had to build a total of five canals to dredge the moat outside Daxing City. The more than 20,000 displaced people will not be able to work for long. Su Sheng frowned and said, Su Sheng is the commander of Daxing County, and he knows the amount of work to serve in the conscription this year.
"It's better to take the opportunity to repair the official road in Daxing, the official road in Daxing has been damaged very much in recent years." Ping Honggui took the opportunity to ask for the official road to be leveled
Recently, he has been in charge of the four-wheeled carriage, the four-wheeled carriage has very high requirements for road conditions, if the official road is repaired, the four-wheeled carriage will definitely sell well, and then the Ministry of Industry will definitely make money every day, and the opportunity to turn over will come.
Yongfeng warehouse can be built at a faster pace.
There are still several bridges to be repaired in Wannian County.
The prefectural government of this prefecture is about to be renovated
Before they knew it, the officials realized that there were still so many things to do in the Daxing area. If all these things are done, the displaced people will not be able to complete it even if they arrive next year.
However, every time they said something, Yan Juncheng's face darkened a little, and he would definitely not overcharge for paying for the service, it was estimated that it would be used up in a month, and so many projects would have to be paid by the household department after the most difficult time.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King, the relief of the people of the Liuliu Guanjiangshan Sheji, the old minister implores the Acting King to lead the disaster relief matters." Wei Wensheng said solemnly.
"Please take charge of disaster relief on behalf of His Royal Highness." All the ministers pleaded for their orders
It turns out that it is not easy to do good deeds in ancient times, if you want to be a good person, usually build a bridge, pave a road, and help orphans and widows, it is almost the same, but if you want to help the victims, you will be charged with buying people's hearts if you are not careful.
Yang Yu also knew that he was unavoidable this time, and this burden could only be resisted by him.
Gu Yi looked at Wei Wensheng in front of him, and secretly scolded the old immortal in his heart, although there is no direct evidence that this is Wei Wensheng's layout, but once His Royal Highness the Acting King focuses on the affairs of the displaced people, he will definitely have no time to take care of the affairs of the court, so that the entire court is his world. However, Gu Yi didn't care, His Royal Highness the Acting King had begun to wake up, and Wei Wensheng would be in power for a few more years.
