Chapter 254: Idea

"There was an epidemic in Qizhou for a while, but fortunately, we dealt with these experienced people and quickly controlled them, and not many people died, but the fields were barren, the houses were damaged, and although the imperial court issued relief money, it also needed manpower to rebuild the home, and where could we divide people to repair the embankment······"

A group of young officials in the Ministry of Industry fell out of their hair one by one. //..

They are not very worried about the epidemic, there will be a great epidemic after the catastrophe, often make trouble for a while, the officials of the Qing Dynasty are also familiar with the way, although there are still some people who have died, but compared to the past, I don't know how much better, that is, the common people, in addition to the grief of the relatives of the deceased, others are not too flustered, and the days are still light.

However, the imperial court issued an order that the river must be dredged as soon as possible and the river embankment must be completely repaired.

In the past, in the villages near the river, there were always strong laborers who were either willing or forced to be helpless, responsible for repairing the river, but this year most of the villages have been submerged, and these strong laborers have not had time to go out to find work to feed their families, and how can they have time to work.

And Mu Yanxu is considering exempting from forced labor because of the large-scale disaster in the country, if he forces the people for such a thing at this time, I am afraid it will cause chaos. Rebellion may not be possible, but passive sabotage is inevitable.

Now there are a few places that have been started, but the quality and speed are very poor, if the work cannot be completed by then, it is the unlucky officials of the Ministry of Industry. At this moment, there are more and more low-level officials in the imperial court, hoping that Luo Hongying's use of captives to do hard labor can be settled, although the enthusiasm of the captives is definitely not high, but there is no need to worry about causing public resentment when using them.

This is nothing, and what is even more difficult is the vicinity of Dayong.

The river course of the stream is occupied by many wealthy families, the stream is a good place, the green mountains and green waters, backed by Feiyun Mountain, the scenery is beautiful, and there is a rare hot spring is the summer resort of the big families.

Along the way, along the river tour, there are courtyards, manors, and even relatively large mansions for the children of the family everywhere. These houses cover an extremely wide area, and they are meticulously crafted, it is inevitable to occupy the river, if a family or two occupy, it is nothing, but every household, you occupy me and I occupy the river channel of the river is not narrow, and it is difficult!

When Mu Qi inspected the river, when he saw these houses, he finally understood why the important land in Gyeonggi actually caused floods. Forrest gump

These houses that occupy the river will naturally be demolished, but these people who can build houses in this place openly and honestly can be ordinary people? This is the prince of the country, and the other is the Hou Ye, even Mu Qi······ Ahem, both Gu Wan and Gu Wan have two houses near the river.

is a wealthy businessman who invested in the door of the Seven Kings' Mansion, built a mansion by the hot springs, and paid filial piety to Mu Qi.

This kind of disguised collection of protection money is very common in the Daqing Dynasty, and unlike the 21st century, if Mu Qi does not collect it, it is easy to make people frightened, anyway, he doesn't need to be hypocritical if he takes what he needs.

Mu Qi took the lead in demolishing most of the houses that occupied the river, and the rest looked at the face of the prince, and most of them were demolished, but there were always so few, who were used to enjoying privileges in the past, where were they willing to suffer this sullen loss, all kinds of trusts, looking for a way, bribing the officials of the Ministry of Industry who were responsible for the calculation, just hoping to keep their own house.

For Mu Qi, although these are not a big deal, they are also trivial and inevitably upset.

He had a headache, and when he went home, he inevitably showed a few points, Gu Wan couldn't help but laugh: "Why bother always thinking about asking the people to serve the conscription, since Banzai said that he would be exempted from this year's conscription, then it will be exempted, Qizhou has little labor, and no one repairs the river embankment, but I don't know how many idlers there are outside, and they can't find an errand to make a living, so they mess around, it's better to pay a sum of money and hire someone to repair it, which can be regarded as adding some income to the people."

Mu Qi was stunned, thoughtful: "It's not impossible, but where does the silver come from?" Household ...... I'm afraid my second brother is not willing to take money. "Now the second child of the Mu family is in charge of the household, he has always been shrewd and pays close attention to the silver, this kind of almost unnecessary and huge expenses, I'm afraid he won't be happy to pay.

Gu Wan thought for a while and said: "The Liulang of the Hou family of Qidong didn't destroy the embankment, but also destroyed a lot of cottages for the land of many big families, so let him be responsible for paying for the repair, and the imperial court sent someone to supervise, and he was not allowed to treat the labor who worked harshly, and he had to be treated well...... simply gave them that section of the embankment, set a time limit, if it was not repaired well, and then there would be a big flood and flood their fields, they all deserved it, and the court would punish them. ”

"For other sections of the river, you can also use the fines of the big families who occupy the river, or encourage the families and merchants near the river to donate, it is best to form a system, let them leak a little bit in their hands every year, take it out to repair the river embankment, anyway, the river embankment is good, they are good, I believe these people are smart people, will not refuse."

Gu Wan blinked, maybe she saw it in later generations, some of the methods mentioned in the passage text can be borrowed, such as erecting a monument to promote fame, and the court awarding awards······

Mu Qi pinched his daughter-in-law's tender face: "I didn't expect that this is a method, I will discuss it with my eldest brother for a while, but it is not okay to be detained." ”

He couldn't unload his errands for a while, and he walked in a hurry every day, went home to see his daughter-in-law, and sometimes couldn't even eat a mouthful of food, so he entered the palace again.

The main reason is that Mu Yanxu's physical condition is really worrying, it is not a major illness, it is all kinds of small problems, the imperial doctors all said that it was because he lost his body in his early years and did not recuperate well, and now that he is older, this is the outbreak, which can only be raised, not cured.

Mu Qi was sad and worried, so he had to take the initiative to share it, hoping that the eldest brother would take care of himself and take care of himself today, and said a few words to Gu Wan, and left, Gu Wan looked at his back and sighed, this person is simply not idle, that time in the capital, he said more than once, he will not be busy with these in the future, and accompany himself more, but in the past, what he said also made him forget about it, fortunately, Gu Wan already knew what kind of person he was——- he had worked hard all his life, and his heart was full of the great cause of his family and country, such a man could not be chained, Since I got married, I had to admit it.

It was rainy a while ago, the bedding and clothes at home, as well as books, were all damp, and nothing else, but books were important items, it was rare that it was autumn now, the weather was dry, and today was even more cloudless, and the sun was good, so Gu Wan took out all the books at home to dry.

She had a lot of books, bought from all over the place, gifts from Liu and Chen, as well as those bought from the store, and there was no need to shy away from people, spread out and hung out in a whole yard.

Bao Sheng took the delicate gauze, and found a bamboo pole, and covered all the books, for fear that some birds and insects would inadvertently stain the pages, and the garden was full of books, smelling the fragrance of books, and the people in the palace even weakened the sound of walking.

The subordinates of the entire palace, even those guards, are mostly polite and polite, with the smell of books on their bodies, and there are not many who are illiterate.

Since Gu Wan married Mu Yanzhao, she has paid great attention to the education of the people in the palace, firstly, with a little experimental mind, and secondly, she has suffered from people's stupid losses before.

Reading is reasonable, and can do a better job, Gu Wan is never afraid that her own subordinates will have a big heart after reading books, if she is really talented, she can read and become famous, with Mu Yanzhao's ability, let him get out of his nationality, participate in scientific examinations, and become an official, it is nothing, even if it is just a grassroots petty official with eight or nine grades, it can be regarded as a help from the palace.

You can't look down on the little people, it's always good to have a good relationship, maybe it will come in handy at some point, and besides, even if it's useless, ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
