428: Cash-for-work, forcible apportionment?
All the credit belongs to Jiang Zhizhou?
How can it be!
Although the five princes are not very old, what Cheng Qing has done, the five princes all know in their hearts.
If the five princes don't understand, Cheng Qing won't secretly invest in Mingzhu - she will always find an opportunity to let the five princes understand!
Cheng Qing has already asked Jiang Zhizhou to take away the recipe for epidemic prevention, and the method of resettlement of displaced people has also been summarized by Jiang Zhizhou's mouth.
In the final analysis, the rich Linqing City is not unable to support hundreds of displaced people, Linqing Wharf ships come and go every day, and with such a large ship throughput, it is easy to take in hundreds of displaced people.
Jiang Zhizhou is not bold enough and is not happy to do things, but people also have their own concerns.
Cheng Qing couldn't stand and talk without backache, and accused Jiang Zhizhou vigorously.
Jiang Zhizhou, as the parent official of Linqing City, got the news faster than ordinary people.
There are only a few hundred displaced people in Linqing, but in other parts of Dongchang Mansion, in the whole of Shandong, the number of displaced people adds up to 20,000!
Shandong is rich, or the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, although this year's weather is also quite dry, the rainfall is not enough, but it is far from the extent of Huainan that kind of red land thousands of miles, the people tighten their belts, life can still go on.
Even after the influx of displaced people from Huainan into Shandong, there were small settlements like those outside Linqing City, and there were also thousands of people who fled together.
If the number of people is small, they can go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, fish in the river, and as long as they escape from the drought to Huainan, where there is no grass, the chances of the displaced people surviving will be greater.
But when the number of people is large, the place through which the displaced people pass is like locusts passing through the border.
The local people did not have time to harvest the grain in the fields, and the displaced people helped to harvest the grain in their stomachs, raising chickens and ducks, planting vegetables, and fruits on the trees, there was nothing they did not take.
Is this still a disaster victim?
It is a good name to say that it is locusts, it is simply a bandit!
Parents and officials like Jiang Zhizhou have the most headache when they encounter a large-scale attack on the homeless, and those people switch between the homeless and the mob, and they do not raise the banner of opposing the imperial court for a day, and cannot send troops to encircle and suppress them for a day.
Kill but can't kill, save and can't save it, how much food do tens of thousands of people have to consume a day, and the power of the city can provide for a few days, a month, and a year and a lifetime?
It's not just Linqing City that keeps the displaced people out of the city, but it's basically the same in other places.
The displaced people could not find a way to survive in the local area, so they had to continue to migrate to the north and walk to the feet of the Son of Heaven.
The sky fell, and a tall man was on top of it.
Most of the magistrates have similar ideas, and it is not necessarily right to do less, but it is definitely easy to make mistakes when doing more.
Jiang Zhizhou has the same concerns.
Jiang Zhizhou is most afraid of hundreds of displaced people in Linqing City, and the displaced people in the entire Shandong Province have heard the news and all of them have come to Linqing, what will they do when the time comes?
Although Linqing was rich, Jiang Zhizhou could not force those rich gentry and big businessmen to pay silver and grain to feed the displaced people.
The houses in the city and the land outside the city are all owned by the owners, and Jiang Zhizhou has no ability to distribute the land with the owners to the displaced people in vain.
If you want to co-opt the displaced people, you have to have land, and without land, the displaced people are duckweed without roots, and they themselves have no spirit to work hard, Jiang Zhizhou is afraid that these people will be robbed in Linqing City, which will damage the public security and atmosphere of Linqing.
With their own land, the displaced people will be restrained, farming in a down-to-earth manner, paying taxes to the court honestly, and not daring to do anything illegal and undisciplined.
But Jiang Zhizhou can't change so much land, so he has to come and ask the five princes.
As a result, Cheng Qing gave him an idea.
Jiang Zhizhou thinks long-term, and Cheng Qing's method is to save the emergency.
Poverty can't be saved, I don't want to work hard, it's useless for the government to help, Cheng Qing went to the shack area where the homeless people gathered, and saw the spirit of those homeless people.
Linqing City can't get the land to settle the displaced people, so don't take it.
Want land, want to settle down in Linqing City?
Okay, try your best.
If it is other places, the business is not developed, and it is difficult to find a part-time worker, but Linqing is a big granary on the side of the Grand Canal, and it is not difficult to accept hundreds of displaced people.
Cheng Qing provided Jiang Zhizhou with not an unprecedented brilliant idea, to put it bluntly, it was a cash-for-work grant, she more clarified Jiang Zhizhou's thinking and increased her courage.
Jiang Zhizhou communicated with Yu San on the way.
Yu San was stunned when he heard this:
"Lord Cheng said he wanted to build a dock?"
"Yes, Lord Cheng wants to repair the wharf, saying that the wharf in Linqing is not enough, but it is not a secret, after the official arrived, he had long wanted to expand the wharf in Linqing, and he mentioned it several times and put it on hold for various reasons, and this time Lord Cheng also helped the official make up his mind."
Jiang Zhizhou's face was full of smiles.
Yu San didn't understand.
He also thought that Cheng Qing would suggest that the five princes put grain on the spot.
Linqing is a granary, not to mention the use of grain from Tongzhou, Tianjin Wei and Dezhou, just release the local grain in Linqing, 50,000 stone disaster relief grain to feed hundreds of displaced people easily, the number of displaced people increased tenfold, or even twenty times, 50,000 stone grain can support for a long time.
Don't send food, don't send silver, just let Jiang Zhizhou repair the wharf, Jiang Zhizhou can still laugh like this?
Yu San is very smart, but he doesn't have much practical experience.
In the past, when he had not abandoned literature and martial arts, he loved to work against his father Yu, where would he care about how Lord Yu handled official affairs when he was a magistrate.
This year, he entered Jinyiwei, and Yu San didn't have to learn, and now the allocation of skill points is very biased.
However, seeing Jiang Zhizhou laughing like this, Yu San was embarrassed to say that he didn't understand, so he was very cautious and asked Jiang Zhizhou for advice.
"It is to work for relief, the official came forward to build a new wharf, recruit the displaced people to work, pay the homeless people with money and food, the livelihood of the homeless people has been temporarily solved, Linqing has a new wharf, and the official is also confident that he will continue to absorb the new homeless people from Huainan!"
Jiang Zhizhou said with his eyebrows fluttering.
Yu San grasped the point, "The silver for repairing the dock was issued by the imperial court?" ”
Jiang Zhizhou touched his beard and shook his head, "The disaster in Huainan is serious, how can this official increase the burden on the imperial court, most of the silver for repairing the dock will be borne by the rich gentry and merchants in Linqing City." ”
Yu San understood.
Forcibly apportioned!
I didn't expect Cheng Qing to do this.
snatched the silver from the pockets of the wealthy gentry and businessmen for disaster relief, can Cheng Qing really leave Linqing safely?
Jiang Zhizhou sold a pass and refused to elaborate.
Gu Hongtai heard the conversation between Yu San and Jiang Zhizhou from beginning to end, and was very envious.
This kind of forcible apportionment must have been encountered often by wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen.
If Cheng Qing didn't give Jiang Zhizhou an idea like this, others didn't scold Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing stood for the righteousness of disaster relief, and the rich gentry and businessmen in Linqing City could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.
Gu Hongtai envied Cheng Qing, that is, he envied that people could be praised even for doing bad things.
- If it's really all inferior, only the reading is high, and the champion of the sixth yuan and the first fart is a fart, all with the fragrance of literature and ink, and others must still hold it?!
