Chapter 17 Donating Money
"Yongfeng Cang is the foundation of the country, and now His Majesty has just left, we will use Yongfeng Cang, so what should we do when we encounter natural and man-made disasters in the future." Yang Yu's words made the officials present speechless.
One by one, they are all silent, and it is indeed too early to use Yongfeng Cang at this time, just like in later generations, even the United States You can't take out the atomic bomb from time to time to scare others.
Besides, Yang Yu also has his own plans, he is about to embark on that thorny road, he has already regarded this as his first level, at this time, he does not use the national capital, and does not use the treasury. Only by perfectly solving the problem of displaced people can we highlight our own skills.
What's more, it is not a bad thing that so many displaced people come, in the previous life, hundreds of millions of migrant workers poured into Guangdong, and there were not many disgusted people in Guangzhou.
At that time, during the Great Depression, Roosevelt's New Deal not only enabled the United States to successfully survive the economic crisis, but also built a large number of infrastructure projects, thus laying the foundation for future economic take-off.
Maybe it's time to add some projects, Yang Yu couldn't help but look at those green-robed county orders.
I didn't expect that these county orders were not here to make trouble for themselves, but to solve problems for themselves. Thinking of this, Yang Yu's gaze at the county commanders softened a lot.
Sun Yuhai was furious at the bottom of his heart when Yang Yu looked at him, and secretly said that he was unlucky today, not only did he catch the oil and water, but he made His Royal Highness the Acting King unhappy.
The other county orders were also in their hearts, but the next sentence of His Royal Highness the Acting King made them ecstatic.
"There is no turning back from the bow, and it is impossible for us to keep the displaced people out of the gate, so that all the efforts we have made before will be ruined. In order to resettle these displaced people, the scale of cash-for-work must be expanded, and Yao Shi read and re-approved these excerpts. ”
Yang Yu set the tone and rejected the proposal to ban the homeless from entering the customs.
The county commanders were shocked, and they knew that they would not return empty-handed this time. There are so many displaced people, and there must be a lot of projects.
"However, the amount of money to be paid for the service has already been set, and if it is changed, it will lose the prestige of the imperial court."
Yang Yu didn't even think about directly denying the idea of taxation, as a benevolent and righteous otaku, Yang Yu couldn't do that kind of backsliding.
"But if we allow a large number of displaced people to enter, the little money we have left in Chang'an will not last long......," Gu Yi said bluntly, and his words were agreed by most officials.
"This king has an idea that can solve the current predicament for the time being." Yang Yu smiled mysteriously.
"Your Royal Highness, please speak clearly."
Wei Wensheng said curiously, he wanted to know what tricks His Royal Highness the Acting King had in the past few days.
In fact, Wei Wensheng, like most officials, was waiting for Yang Yu's resignation, because they couldn't think of any tricks, let alone a thirteen-year-old child, what could he do!
However, they don't have to worry too much, whether it is restricting the entry of displaced people, or increasing taxes, or forcing the last resort to open the Yongfeng warehouse to the last resort, it can solve the problem.
The continuous influx of homeless people, the daily consumption is terrifying, and the ministers of the court are estimating how many days His Royal Highness the Acting King can support in their hearts, but no one thought that the situation would be so serious this time.
Even Wei Wensheng regretted it a little in his heart, in case the confidence of His Royal Highness the Acting King was completely destroyed this time, his own sin would be great, and His Majesty would not let himself have good fruits to eat at that time.
In the same way, Yang Yu knew that he couldn't admit defeat this time, after all, this was the first time he was in charge, no matter how difficult it was, he had to complete it perfectly, so that everyone was convinced.
"In fact, not only the pillars of the empire here are worried about the affairs of the displaced people, but the ordinary people in the entire Chang'an are also worried about the country and the people, and it is also uncomfortable to see these comrades suffering. I want to do my part. ”
Yang Yu said something, which made everyone's thinking confused, how did it get involved with ordinary people, disaster relief has never been a matter of the imperial court, and everyone can't get involved at all.
"Your Royal Highness, do you mean to allow individuals to give relief to the victims?" Wei Wensheng said suspiciously.
As soon as Wei Wensheng's voice fell, the entire court was in chaos.
"No, disaster relief must not allow ordinary people to participate."
"Private relief for disaster victims and buying people's hearts is a taboo in all dynasties."
The ministers were excited, and in their opinion, such a thing was simply more serious than starving the homeless.
It is easy to win the hearts of the people by giving personal relief to the victims, which has always been a royal taboo.
"I beg His Royal Highness the Acting King to take back his order."
The officials present forced the palace in unison. Yang Yu really felt what a strong force this was this this time.
The officials bowed and bowed, and the audience was silent.
"What if it's an institution run by the government that accepts donations from individuals?" Yang Yu looked at the officials below and was very pleased, and directly said his thoughts.
The government has set up an agency for people to donate. Hearing such an unbelievable way of collecting money, the officials present were all messy.
"Wonderful! In this way, the wish of the individual to help the disaster was realized, and the government stepped forward to use the money to help the disaster, thus avoiding the scourge of buying the hearts and minds of individuals. Gu Yi was the first to react, and said excitedly with his hands.
"Absolutely."
"His Royal Highness the Acting King is really wise and powerful."
……
"But will anyone be willing to donate money?" In the midst of the joy of singing praises, a sinister voice sounded.
Wei Wensheng glared fiercely at the uninteresting five-grade official, the people present were not stupid, how could they not tell if it was a good way.
In this way, the best of both worlds, even if they can't collect a penny at the last time, they can be regarded as having merit in their assistance, and the greatest credit will definitely fall on the head of him, the nominal teacher.
"This kind of donation mainly depends on people with a charitable heart, all voluntary, according to their ability, open and transparent, in order to set an example for ordinary people, this king will donate 10,000 yuan in the name of an individual." Yang Yu said.
"Wechen donates a hundred."
"The old minister is also a family fund, donating a thousand yuan."
……
"Wechen also donated fifty times." The fifth rank official's heart was dripping blood, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
Fifty times is almost one-tenth of his own family fund, and this time he is bleeding heavily.
Just now, I was still questioning whether anyone had donated money, but now I have no doubts at all, even if there is nothing to do with doubling the number of displaced people, just a short moment ago, I have already received as much as 100,000 yuan.
"It's all voluntary, and it's all within your means."
Yao Silian said in his mouth, and his subordinates quickly memorized the numbers.
He didn't doubt at all that these cold numbers were all consistent money, and these characters in the court were all villains no matter how repetitive they usually were, but after they publicly said their words, they would definitely cash in.
"Measure your strength! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have donated so much, how much do you say I donate! Many people cursed secretly in their hearts.
When this disguised method of forced donation was used for the first time on the land of China, Yang Yu was sitting high on it, looking at the painful expressions of many officials, and his heart was very comfortable.
In my previous life, I had experienced such a thing, but now it is really feng shui in turn.
“…… Donate 100,000 yuan. In the midst of the noise, a voice rang out like thunder.
"What a tyrant!"
Yang Yu sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the voice curiously.
