Chapter Twenty-Eight: What's the Matter?

When Xiong Wencan heard this, he immediately laughed, nodded again and again: "Your method is not bad, and the official also knows that there are many gentry and big families who are not benevolent to the rich, although they see the current chaos, they still refuse to take out some money and grain to help the government help the victims, and the Yicang in various places can't receive much donated money and food."

If you erect a monument like this, it is tantamount to forcing them to take out more money and food to help the victims for the sake of face, which is indeed a good way! In the future, all localities may wish to follow your example, so that they can raise more money and food!

It's a pity that this year's disaster is indeed too serious, and this method alone is probably still a drop in the bucket, and it can't solve this matter fundamentally! ”

Yu Xiaotian nodded, and said: "What my lord said is extremely true, although this method can raise more money and food, but after all, these big families and gentry and relatives will only point to the end, and will never give too much money and food, they can only solve the urgent need for a while, but they can't get through this disaster year once and for all!"

Therefore, the humble post also thought of a way, which can solve this trouble, but I am afraid that this method will attract criticism, and my subordinates don't know whether to talk about it or not! ”

Xiong Wencan shook his head unhappily and said: "If you really have a good way, then say it, as long as you can solve this trouble, you will save the people from fire and water, this is a matter of immeasurable merit, even if it violates some common sense, it is better than letting the whole territory of Fujian erode!" As long as your solution is feasible, then the old man will support you! ”

As soon as Yu Xiaotian heard Xiong Wencan say this, he had a bottom in his heart and said: "Since this is the case, then dare to say it!"

The adults also know that the reason why there are thieves in Fujian this time is that there are too many victims, although the government has the heart to help, but it is not enough, so that the victims have no way to make a living, so they are forced to take risks!

Therefore, if we want to solve this problem fundamentally, then the only way is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and to let these victims have food to live, then they will naturally not continue to take risks and devote themselves to becoming thieves!

In fact, I don't hide it from my lord, in the early years of my humble position, I once occupied some barren land on Taiyuan Island and recruited some displaced people to settle on Taiyuan Island, which has achieved initial results over the years.

The biggest problem in Fujian is that there are many people and few fields, even if there is no disaster year, the grain produced in Fujian is far from enough for the local people in Fujian, which is why Fujian has long been the root cause of why there are many bandits.

In addition, such limited land, but large tribes into the hands of a small number of large families, these large families are not benevolent to the rich, hoarding food, and making the people even more miserable.

Therefore, if you want to get through the current difficulties, you might as well use some extreme means, and if you have a boat in your hands, you can collect these victims from all over the world, transfer them to Taiyuan Island, give them food, and let them pioneer on their own!

In this way, the victims of the disaster will have food to eat and fields to plant, who will take risks and become thieves again? It's just that if you don't show your authority to this matter and get your permission, you won't dare to do it easily! I also hope that the adults can agree, so that the lowly duty can dare to let go of it, then the chaos in Fujian can be ended, if there are still bandits who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, then the lowly is willing to personally lead the troops to destroy it! Return Fujian to a peaceful world! ”

When Xiong Wencan heard this, he was first overjoyed, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little embarrassed, because Yu Xiaotian did this, he would definitely take away a lot of labor from Fujian, and now don't look at those big households who are unwilling to contribute money and grain to help the victims, but after this year, they still have to use a large number of people to farm for them, if Yu Xiaotian immigrates a large number of people to Taiyuan Island to help themselves, then next year I am afraid that many large households in many places will not be able to find enough tenants to plow the fields for them.

So Yu Xiaotian did this, to a certain extent, although it solved the current dilemma, but it will still attract a lot of criticism, if it is more serious, it can even be said that Yu Xiaotian has other plans, you must know that Taiyuan Island is not a place under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty now, Yu Xiaotian will get people to Taiyuan Island, then these people can only be subject to Yu Xiaotian, and they will not be the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

So once Yu Xiaotian has other plans in the future, if he wants to support the army and become the king of the land independently, these immigrants who have been taken away may be his future capital, and to some extent, it can be said that it is a problem to raise tigers.

Xiong Wencan is not a fool, this layer can still be imagined, he has certain concerns about this, so after listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Xiong Wencan groaned for a while, and did not immediately give Yu Xiaotian an answer.

After Yu Xiaotian finished speaking, he was not in a hurry to urge Xiong Wencan to express his position, but sat on the side with an honest face, waiting for Xiong Wencan to speak.

Xiong Wencan closed his eyes slightly, his fingers subconsciously tapped lightly on the armrests of the chair, and all kinds of thoughts in his heart rotated rapidly, weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

Although he still has some concerns about Xiaotian, but think about it carefully, if Yu Xiaotian wanted to cut the land and become the king last year, it was actually not impossible, with the force he controlled at that time, and the unrivaled strength of water warfare, even if he did not accept the appeasement and continued to run rampant on the sea, then with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty's sailors, even if he gathered the sailors of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, it was estimated that it would be difficult to exterminate Yu Xiaotian.

As long as Yu Xiaotian withdraws his troops and defends Taiyuan Island, then no one can do anything about him, but in the end, Yu Xiaotian still accepted Zhao'an and joined his command as a general, so what does this mean?

Xiong Wencan thought about it carefully, and felt that Yu Xiaotian should not have the heart of disobedience, otherwise, he would not have to come to grind with him and ask for so many benefits.

Now Yu Xiaotian has become a heavy general in Fujian, and he is not thin on him, he has no reason to think about supporting the army and respecting himself, cutting the land and becoming the king, as long as he is used well in the future to meet some of his needs, presumably this guy should not have more ideas, to some extent, he has always thought that Yu Xiaotian is not too much like a hero, but more like a businessman who is good at management.

Although such a person has a strong strength in his hands, but his ultimate goal should still be on how to get rich and glorify the lintel, even if he mixes well at sea, he still can't get rid of the thief, and doing things for the Ming Dynasty, but he can be an upright general, which should be much better than him being a thief at sea!

In addition, since Yu Xiaotian was appeased by him, although this guy has made a lot of small moves, robbed a lot of interests in Fujian, and controlled it in his hands, but on the whole, Yu Xiaotian is still deferential to him, and he is indispensable to give him filial piety every once in a while, and everything is for his sake.

Since he regarded Yu Xiaotian as a confidant, he did feel quite comfortable doing things, and Yu Xiaotian really seemed to be looking at his interests everywhere, tying his interests to his own interests.

Now Yu Xiaotian proposed this method, is indeed a good policy, as long as it is used, it can indeed play a role in the current chaos to draw wages, as long as a large number of victims are taken away by Yu Xiaotian, then all parts of Fujian will naturally calm down, the people have work, who is willing to raise their heads to do the business of killing heads?

At present, it can be said that in addition to this method, Xiong Wencan really can't think of a better way to deal with the current predicament, thinking about it for a long time, Xiong Wencan still can't withstand the temptation of this method proposed by Yu Xiaotian, and feels that although doing so may attract criticism, it is better than the situation in Fujian.

If he can't solve the current problem of the Fujian famine this time, and eventually cause chaos out of control, then it is estimated that even if he has established a good impression in the mind of the saint before, I am afraid that he will be completely dispersed because of this matter. Then in the future, for his career, it will be over.

What Xiong Wencan wants most now is to establish an image of a capable member in the minds of today's saints, if he can't solve the current problem, then he is still a bullshit capable member, and anyone can sit in his current position, not to mention that he wants to be promoted in the future, and he may not be able to keep even the current position of governor of Fujian.

After thinking of this matter, Xiong Wencan finally made his choice, since Yu Xiaotian has no disobedience now, as for how far it will develop in the future, it is all in the future, the most important thing for him now is to keep the things in front of him first, don't put everything into it because of this chaos, he can still distinguish which is more important.

Now that he understood this, Xiong Wencan no longer hesitated, and immediately opened his eyes, staring at Yu Xiaotian's eyes, trying to see something from Yu Xiaotian's eyes.

But Yu Xiaotian also looked at him calmly, and his whole frank demeanor did not show anything wrong at all, as if he had no bad thoughts at all.

So Xiong Wencan was somewhat relieved, but he still opened his mouth and asked Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, the old man came to ask you, what benefits can you do this?" What do you want? ”

(Bad luck!) I had a cold for a few days, and I thought it would be over, but I didn't expect to cough again today, and I had a fever! Dizzy, the world is spinning! It's hard to hold on to two chapters! Uncomfortable! Hurry up and take your medicine and lie down! It's a bit like taking a slap in the face! )
