Chapter 381: Assistance
"Ahem...... Actually, I'm going to trouble you to do a favor. Shi Qingqian cleared his throat and began to use the language he had organized all the way, first of all, he introduced the two people around Jing'an, and secondly, he tried to explain the cause and effect to Jing'an as concisely and clearly as possible. Including from meeting Ji Wenyu, who was not talented, to his later resignation and joining the Hanlin Academy, the policy of governing refugees was hollowed out.
"Alas...... It was a good policy, and not long ago, another group of refugees poured into the capital. I asked Ziping that this season is prone to flu, and most of the refugees are not in good health, and now they can often hear violent coughing sounds on the road in Nanshi. For the sake of his own selfish desires, Prime Minister Mo Ruan has hollowed out his policies, which will only make the problem of this refugee more serious. Shi Qingqian frowned, and on the way here, she also asked Shu Ziping about the current situation in the capital.
Shu Ziping went to the doctor, the kind of mixed place in Nanshi was too chaotic, Shi Qingqian basically wouldn't go, but Shu Ziping went a lot. The beggars on the street were infected with the flu, but they had no money for treatment.
Jing An was on the sidelines, listening and nodding thoughtfully. She has been running this ironware factory for so many years, and naturally she has talked to people in the court, and she can understand the things in the court that Shi Qingqian said at once, and she doesn't need too much explanation from Shi Qingqian.
She nodded while listening, held her chin and said, "So, Sister Qi'er wants to find a way to convey this matter directly to the emperor, right?" ”
Shi Qingqian nodded excitedly, sure enough, Jing'an is Jing'an, these words are said to ordinary women, whether they can understand it or not has to be said separately, let alone like Jing'an, who can directly understand Shi Qingqian's unspoken strategy.
"I think that if it is conveyed layer by layer, it may be stopped by Prime Minister Mo Ruan on the way, so it is better to do something big directly, so that the emperor will have to hear it if he doesn't listen. I discussed it with Ziping and them, and we distributed relief rations in the name of our Shi's Medical Center, but this is not enough, if you want to really achieve 'blockbuster'...... It wouldn't work without Jing'an's help. ”
Jing'an suddenly smiled, after saying so much, she could almost guess what Shi Qingqian wanted to say, "I guess...... Is it my sister who has come to send me cheap labor? ”
Hearing this, Shi Qingqian was slightly amazed in her heart, and sure enough, it was easier to deal with smart people, she quickly nodded, and asked cautiously, "Hehe...... I just don't know if you need ...... on your side in Jing'an."
The arrangement of the refugees and young and strong people who went to receive relief food to the ironworks in Jing'an is not only in line with and in accordance with Ji Wenyu's policy, but also that the large flow of refugees is enough for the eyes and ears of the yin people, plus the ironworks in Jing'an have always had orders with the imperial court, so it will definitely make people notice.
In this way, it will reach the ears of the emperor sooner or later.
"Sister Qi'er came to me this time, saying that she was here to ask me for help, but in fact, she helped me solve my urgent need." "However, the refugees probably don't know how to refine it, and I'm just afraid that their workmanship will be too rough." ”
This is indeed a big problem, and it cannot be ruled out that there are people who have done this among the refugees, but most of them are still from peasant backgrounds. Shi Qingqian tilted her head and thought about it, she looked at Ji Wenyu, "Ji Gongzi, do you have any good ideas for this matter?" ”
Ji Wenyu also thought for a moment, and then replied: "Although I don't know how to make iron, I also know that this ironmaking has processes such as burning, iron, shaping, cold iron, etc., and the most important technique is to shape and the most powerful to make iron. The lord of Jing'an can let the old people in the factory be responsible for the finalization alone, and leave the processes that do not require much technology to the refugees. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to teach the refugees techniques while doing this? ”
Shi Qingqian felt that what Ji Wenyu said was very good, and it could indeed solve a problem that a large number of people had never been in contact with, she looked at Jing'an and asked, "Jing'an, what do you think?" ”
"Ji Gongzi is worthy of being a person who is willing to help Sister Qi'er!" Jing An clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This method is feasible!" Speaking of which, I also have a few cooperative manufacturers, a distillery in the town of Jiuwang, and a wood carving factory in the eighteenth town...... Recently, labor costs have risen sharply, and when we cooperated before, I heard from the people in charge of their affairs that they were also recruiting people recently. ”
Shi Qingqian's eyes lit up, "That's so good!" Jing'an, can I bother you to make a trip, if they are willing to accept these refugees, we can do more! ”
After a pause, Shi Qingqian said again: "If the emperor can personally inquire about this matter, I am sure that the imperial court will come up with some subsidies to you." ”
Jing An smiled, "This kind of good thing, I am naturally willing." I'll leave this afternoon to talk to them. Leave these things to me, and if they don't want to, I'll do my best to take in as many as I can! ”
Seeing Jing'an so refreshing, Shi Qingqian slapped his thigh happily and said excitedly: "Then I will thank you for the refugees first!" ”
Ji Wenyu also stood up gratefully, "The county lord of Jing'an is decisive in trivial matters, wise and resourceful, Ji admires!" ”
"No, no, I'm also thinking about myself, these days are indeed a lack of labor, and it is beneficial and harmless to our ironworks if we can introduce a batch, so a mutually beneficial and win-win thing, why don't I do it?" Jing'an hurriedly stepped forward and gently picked up Ji Wenyu, who was saluting.
The matter can be regarded as finalized, no matter whether Jing'an can negotiate another factory, she can also accommodate a group of people in an iron-making factory.
"Well, then, let's go back first." Shi Qingqian stood up and said, "It's hard work to calm you, let's go back first and finalize how to implement it, there are a lot of refugees, I'm afraid that if you don't prepare well, you will encounter a lot of trouble." ”
Jing'an also got up and nodded vigorously, "Sister Qi'er, don't worry, I'll set off immediately and try to talk to them too." Other than that...... If you need any help, just say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help. It's just that when the time comes, please be sure to tell me the finalized plan, so that I can be prepared. ”
"Lord Jing'an, please rest assured," Ji Wenyu said on the side, "The plan will definitely let you know, and please give us a reply quickly, this policy of dealing with refugees is still sooner rather than later." ”
Jing An smiled and nodded.
"Then, Jing'an, I'll wait for your reply!"
"No problem!"
