Chapter 399: Sending Charcoal in the Snow
The two of them in front of him were deeply in love, but in Tang Junyi's eyes, it was particularly dazzling, he took a deep breath, and even in this situation, Xu Ziqiao and the little dark horse before had a very different change. I have to say that although Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru are not as useful as those wastes that wagging their tails to please him by, they are much more useful.
"Well, the king knows. Regarding this disaster relief, Lord Xu must have been very embarrassed. ”
Xu Ziqiao stepped forward and pulled Lin Huiru behind his back, and he was also a little surprised when he heard that Tang Junyi took the initiative to care about this, "This matter is really tricky, I don't know what His Highness has to say?" ”
"At this time, no matter who you ask for help is unreliable, after all, it is a matter that needs to consume silver, those old guys, if it is a matter of collecting money, their noses are more than dogs, but once it is a matter of going out to dig out silver, they can drop a drop to avoid it, if you don't believe it, you can now pick a person to visit his house, see if it will be a way to push. It seems that Lord Xu should have already tried it. Tang Junyi said, and also poured a cup of tea for Xu Ziqiao,
After exchanging a look, Xu Ziqiao also sat down.
Tang Junyi is right, the reason why Xu Ziqiao went out in a hurry today is to see if he can find some people to discuss before this matter is expanded, especially those who are engaged in cloth or grain and oil business. However, although it does not turn people away, the rhetoric in it is pushing.
You can't force others to do it, it's not a good thing.
"Your Highness is right, but the victims can't help it." Everything is on the side of silver, he is obviously just an official, and now he is like the emperor's account, and he has to find ways to plan.
"That's right, according to Lord Xu's current status in the court, if this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid it will still affect you, Lord Xu. Anyway, it's a bad job. "This kind of disaster relief can be regarded as an errand that everyone shirks.
In short, thankless.
There is so much spirit that needs to be expended in it, and after it is properly dealt with in the end, there are very few people who know who did it, and they will only praise the court, and the court can only give a meager reward. Moreover, for others, this matter is just to watch the excitement.
At least in the court, there are few people who are willing to do this kind of errand and are willing to do it for the better.
"His Royal Highness Lao thinks about me, it's okay for me to work hard in this matter, but among the victims, many of them are old and weak children and women, men are fine, but others are weak, and they must find ways to treat them." Xu Ziqiao also circled around with Tang Junyi.
Lin Huiru was silent with a teacup next to him, and this matter was also mixed with a lot of ridiculous behaviors. Some people who don't learn and don't know how to make a living on weekdays will also mingle among the victims, pretending to be disaster victims and eating subsidies from the imperial court.
Unfortunately, there is no way to completely eliminate these people, and in the case of the disaster, everything is chaotic. The people are panicking, and there is a way to sympathize with the same disease, and at this time, the victims are particularly united, and they will not cooperate.
Tang Junyi glanced at Lin Huiru and took a sip of tea, "Actually, this matter is not difficult to say, some places close to mines or workshops, some laborers can be completely distributed to the past, and they can do it themselves. In that case, the disaster is not a disaster, which should be a good thing. ”
That's right, Xu Ziqiao nodded, "However, most of those people have some diseases on their bodies, or have lost most of their labor ability due to long-term hunger, in this case, there are even fewer people who are willing to hire, not only will occupy the workstation to slow down the process, but also affect the workshop, and may even face the worst situation." ”
"You don't move at this point, Lord Xu, among the people, there are few who don't look at the court, officials and businessmen are also, the biggest in the world, that is, Your Majesty, that is also the backbone of everyone. If you tell those workshops and other places that this is what the imperial court means, they won't say anything, after all, they are doing things for the imperial court. Tang Junyi's eyes revealed cunning, and no one could beat him in using these two words.
After hearing this, Xu Ziqiao frowned, "At this point, don't you let those businessmen help the court wipe their butts." Although on the surface, they will still be happy to help, but if there is something else behind the scenes, this is even more unpredictable. If the relationship between the merchant and the imperial court is shaken first, the impact of this incident is not small, and it is not worth it if you pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons. ”
"In fact, it is not necessarily impossible, you don't have to force him to stuff too many people, you can also divide some manual work for the elderly and children to do at home, at least those who have the ability to work, in this case, they can't eat and wait for death. If the men had been assigned work and the elderly, weak, women and children had been able to earn a living at home, it would not have led to the situation this year. Lin Huiru pursed her lips, frowned and said, "Now many people's livelihoods are taken care of, especially those that do big things, they will basically be monopolized by people with doors, and then find labor from the people, and then obtain great profits from it, squeeze the people, and cause their income to make ends meet, which will cause this kind of thing." ”
Originally, Lin Huiru just opened her mouth to say a word out of emotion, but Tang Junyi looked at her with appreciation, "Mrs. Lin continues, sometimes, Lord Xu doesn't know the world as much as his own wife." ”
"He is busy with government affairs at this point, and it is normal that he is not clear." Lin Huiru cleared his throat and quietly helped Xu Ziqiao choke Tang Junyi once, "This kind of situation is not a few, and there are also reasons why officials privately raise taxes, and the money in the hands of many people is by squeezing the people." Now, if it is just to help the people, in fact, it is also a matter of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and the most fundamental thing is to ban the kind of people who contract work and those officials who privately raise taxes and connive at their subordinates. ”
Tang Junyi nodded, "That's right, Mrs. Lin really impressed this king, so smart, it's a pity not to be an official in the court." ”
"Your Highness praised it falsely, Xiao Ru should just do what she likes, and the things in the court will restrain her." Xu Ziqiao's expression was faint, so he remembered Tang Junyi in his heart.
