Chapter 33 Recruitment of Aid to the Displaced People
The next day at the entrance of the village, the thing everyone discussed was that the sauerkraut was too delicious, that is, it cost rice, and the soup was eaten cleanly.
Everyone has a lot of confidence in growing cabbage!
New dishes of Quanwei Zhai recipe, sauerkraut and white meat, sauerkraut stewed fat duck.
Outside the door downstairs of Quanwei Zhai, the bones were stewed in a thick soup with a pot, the sauerkraut was stewed, and some potato strips were put in the family, and the family was benefiting the people, and the sauerkraut was distributed for free for three days, three pots a day, and it was first served.
As long as you bring a large bowl, you can add a dish to the dinner table at home for free.
Put sauerkraut at the door of the concentric, a piece of Bawen, and put a complete set of practices next to it.
Sauerkraut sales are considerable!
In the blink of an eye, in the depths of winter, every household began to worry.
The imperial court tax had already been levied at the beginning of spring, and some families borrowed money and grain, but now there is another autumn tax, and the tax money is as high as 30% of the income of ordinary people.
Planting a land, some people can have 6,000 yuan left, which is quite good, but the tax will cost 2,000 yuan, and after removing the seeds, removing the year's food and drink, it is a proper negative number.
If you can't afford it, you can use a man to serve in the military, and if you can't do it, you can sell your land, and if you don't have land, you can sell your house.
This winter, the people have been complaining.
The area around Xuzhou is even worse.
I haven't known much about the character of the Three Princes.
I heard Li Yinuo and Zhao Yuxuan mention one or two.
In the past, the first emperor was very optimistic about his third son, that is, the third prince, so when he became an adult, he gave the three princes a fief to the Pengcheng area in Xuzhou, which had always been a place for the soldiers.
For various reasons, he should have passed on the throne to the third prince, but let the eldest prince, that is, the current emperor, sit on the throne, and the third prince also knew the news in advance, and led his subordinates to Pengcheng.
The important ministers of the court said that the emperor left a last word, and he could not kill each other before he could save the three princes.
Of course, these years have also given the third prince time to breathe.
The three princes are diligent and thrifty in their fiefdoms, and they never deduct the people too much because of their military needs.
When neighboring countries harassed Xuzhou, the emperor never sent troops and food, and only let the three princes resist with all their might.
However, the people of Xuzhou around Pengcheng are also willing to help because of the kindness of the three princes.
Well, you people, don't you know who is the ruler of the country? If there is spare food to give to a prince, then the tax will be increased!
The people in the fiefdom of the three princes, the emperor can't control it, the surrounding people are miserable, all the men are arrested and used as soldiers, some women and children are not unable to pay taxes, and catch up with the flood in Xuzhou this year, so they can only leave their hometowns and flow to various states and cities with others.
To be honest, my biggest feeling is that this emperor has a bubble in his head!
It's good that you and the prince are all in peace, don't give the horses grass, and let the horses run, people will guard the world for you, your people will give you some food, and you will govern the people, isn't this forcing the three princes to rebel!
Anyone who loves the people a little can't just squint.
Recently, there have been too many displaced people, and Wuzhi County has set up checkpoints at the gate of the city to prevent displaced people from crowding in.
The imperial court also had no intention of opening a warehouse to release grain.
Approaching the end of the year, there are people outside the city who freeze to death and starve to death every day.
Huang Yaji contacted me and said that there are too many people who sell themselves now, and he can't afford to sign so many people, I have a lot of people here, can I help them properly!
I nodded my head at the time, but I was afraid of attracting too much attention, so I just sent ten or eight people a day to the moth mountain.
With so many people suddenly increasing, the housing was not enough, so the residence was renovated with a factory first.
There are also people with craftsmanship in it, so I asked Dilong to organize a few suitable people to pull materials, and then took local materials on the mountain and began to continue to build houses.
In the evening, we all got together to discuss what to do with the recent flow of displaced people.
Zhao Yuxuan also wrote a letter to his father, who had contacted various county-level officials to organize grain donations, but the effect was minimal, because the people themselves could not eat.
Most of them, like Wuzhi County, are afraid that the displaced people will enter the city, and there will be theft and robbery, which will affect the management of the city.
"In this place now, there are hundreds of homeless beggars, and most of them are women and children, so we can't help them like this." Li Yinuo said.
"What if you don't save it? Don't you see, when I came back today, I saw a woman holding a child, and seeing that the child was not going to die, I quickly gave her food, but she didn't eat it, but gave it to her mother, saying that she couldn't do it, and it was useless to eat, so let her mother live, go to her brother, and then, she died like this in front of my eyes. ”
Baozhu put his eyes red on the cry and told us, just after speaking, he cried again.
I was silent and silent.
"However, how many days can we help if we help like this? You know, if the news spreads, don't say that the imperial court will be eyeing our assets, even if the displaced people hear that there is relief here, they will also rush to Fengling County! After Li Yinuo finished speaking, he hammered his fist helplessly.
In fact, he also wrote a letter to the capital, saying something about the displaced people, and asked his father what the emperor could do.
His father was very comforted in his heart, and the stinky boy was not bent on money.
As a result, the reply made Li Yinuo's heart cold.
The emperor means that the displaced people are also some rebellious people who support the rebels, and the court does not support them, so let the officials under the jurisdiction of each state government solve it on their own.
Those who have a little status in Beijing know that in the first few years, the emperor opened a hunting ground, built a palace, had no money and no food, and saw that the prestige of the three princes rose, and began to urgently raise taxes, increase troops, fill the treasury, and attack the three princes at any time.
Then again.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!" Lu Zeming said contemplatively.
"Don't drag those texts, just talk about what it means." Li Yinuo asked irritably.
Lu Zeming didn't have any explanation.
I said, "The soap method is simple, and it is produced in large quantities in the mountains, so it doesn't need so much labor, so what can I think of to make everyone make money?"
Lu Zeming looked at me appreciatively and nodded.
"Proper tonal knowledge, such as ice, knows what this means." Zhao Yuxuan looked at Li Yinuo and said.
Li Yinuo was slightly embarrassed and said: "Now is not the time to study and supplement knowledge, study the right thing!"
"Is food alone enough to solve the problem? Don't you see? They are all wearing single clothes, and they all freeze to death a lot, let's study the clothes! Baozhu looked up and sobbed.
"That's right! Clothes! "I had a flash of inspiration.
"Clothes? The food has not been solved, and another trouble has come out," Li Yinuo hugged his head completely.
"No, you think, these people, most of them are women and children, what can they do? You can make clothes! I said.
"Well, the idea is fine, but is it intended to be sold or donated?" Lu Zeming looked at me seriously.
"Of course, they are selling, and when they make clothes, we can provide factory shelter and make warm clothes for ourselves." I say.
"However, the cheap ordinary clothes now, the people make their own clothes, they can't sell them, most of the high-end clothes need to be customized, and ordinary peasant women can't do it well, and the cotton clothes we wear now are all cotton imported from neighboring countries in this dynasty, which is very rare, that is, now, some officials and nobles only wear some fur capes when they go out." Zhao Yuxuan said.
I was lost in thought again.
"Don't worry, Bingbing!" Papaya comforted me.
Cold, cold, modern cotton for cold? I muttered to myself.
"Oh, hahaha, what kind of cotton is used to keep out the cold!" I laughed.
It scared everyone.
"No, Sister Meng, what's wrong with you, don't put too much pressure on yourself, health is the most important thing!" Li Yinuo asked worriedly!
"It's all my fault, what do you mention to keep out the cold!" Orb looked at me and began to cry again in worry.
"No, no! Listen to me! I straightened my expression and calmed my excitement.
"Why don't ducks and geese freeze to death in winter, you think?" I asked mysteriously.
"They're hairy!" Li Yinuo rushed to answer.
"By the way, we use duck down, goose down to make clothes, to make outside clothes, afraid of noble people to pick the workmanship, then we do close-fitting, as long as the warm and comfortable cotton down liner, the girls and ladies can also wear beautiful skirts outside!"
I finished what I had to say in one sitting.
Everyone was silent.
"What's wrong? There is a shortage of cotton, ducks and geese as far as I know, there is no shortage of them! I asked tentatively.
"Bingbing, I feel that you are the goddess of heaven and earth, who saves the people of Limin!" Lu Zeming did not exaggerate and said what he thought in his heart.
"Oops, I'm sorry to say it." I'm happy again.
"That's great, but why duck and goose? Chickens, dogs, or whatever? Baozhu asked.
They all looked at me, waiting for me to answer.
"Everyone thinks, which animal can swim in the water, and does not deliberately play in the water, and comes back with the flesh and skin is not wet, then there are only ducks and geese, since their fur can be waterproof, it can be protected from the wind, and the wind can lock the warm air on the surface of the skin!"
"Oh!" Everyone nodded their heads to show that they understood!
As for where to produce, it has become another difficult problem.
There are already a lot of people in Moth Mountain.
Mountain? Why don't you build a house and a factory in the mountains behind me!
So the decision was made!
Li Yinuo used contacts from all over the world to buy a large number of duck down, goose down, as long as the down, if there is a big feather, he will not cooperate.
The Tongxin store has been stabilized, and Dongwang has been drawn back to supervise the construction of the factory and dormitory.
Zhao Baozhu asked her to beg her mother to help find a big cotton cloth workshop, as well as high-density anti-feather yarn.
I heard that there was another business to do, and Mrs. Wu gave her full support, but within a few days, she decided on a fabric supplier.
Zhao Yuxuan communicated with his father Zhao Rui and said that their plan was good, because it was not allowed by the official family to take in a large number of displaced people for no reason.
In the past few days, everyone's busyness has attracted Wu Zhiyan's attention, so she began to think that she was condescending again, and followed everyone to do things everywhere.
With Miss Wu's assistance, not to mention, what to do in Fengling County is very happy.
After the factory, dormitory, materials, everything was done, and the displaced people began to be recruited.
Because this is also a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, Zhao Rui was present, and officials from several nearby counties and towns such as Wuzhi County were also present, intending to discuss and exchange experiences with Wuzhi County.
Wu Zhixian was embarrassed, because he didn't know it, it was purely temporary.
Indeed, because these days we will give porridge and steamed buns every day, there are more than 1,000 homeless people in Fengling County.
In the end, 500 women and 200 men were recruited, and children lived with adults.
It's also a lot of pressure!
Tomorrow, I'm going to group them up as soon as possible and start production.
