Yan Huaiwen looked at the silver ticket and cash silver that his younger brother had gathered, and was a little silent.

Master Tian watched with a smile as Yan Lao Er counted the silver tickets and the cash silver, and wrote down the names of the officials and workers in the notebook.

Yan Yu is also working hard to write.

Sort out the accounts of this trip to Kameen.

"My lord, it's been a great job." Yan Huaiwen bowed solemnly, not to Shangguan, but to the love of running for the people.

"Huaiwen is also hard work." Master Tian hurriedly went down to the ground and helped Yan Huaiwen up. "Our heart is the same, there are no outsiders here, those false gifts are put aside first, and these on the table are all the silver taels that I have at my disposal at the moment, let's calculate how to use it, in order to survive this winter, it is best to survive until April and May next year......"

One is a disciple of his sect, and the other is his right-hand man, all of whom are his own people, Master Tian did not hold back, and sat directly in the kang.

The old man was very cross-legged, feeling a wave of heat rushing up from under him, and his body became more and more relaxed.

This is Yan Xiangheng's house, and Master Tian is temporarily placed here.

In fact, it's not just the fire kang, Yan Lao Er also lit a fire wall, it is because this room is as warm as spring, the windows can be opened for ventilation, and the slightest cool breeze blows in, the temperature is just right, neither cold nor hot.

Yan Huaiwen also sat up, and Yan Yu moved inside to make way for the uncle.

Master Tian, Yan Huaiwen and Yan Lao Er sat around the kang table.

Yan Yu sat between the uncle and the master, facing her father.

"Your Excellency, do you have an idea?" Yan Huaiwen asked.

Master Tian pondered for a moment and said, "If all these silver coins are used to buy grain and save some, they can last for a few months."

However, the winter climate is very cold, and the people are mostly at home in winter, and there is little income, even if it is just sold to them at a low price, I am afraid they can't afford it, but if the grain is ......" Lord Tian sighed: "The official can't bear it."

The five hundred taels given by the prince are used to build towers in various townships, but they can be embezzled first, and it is not too late to start construction in the spring, and the rest are borrowed from colleagues, and they are officials in the city, even if they have some balance on hand, they can not be compared with other mansions, and it is not easy to borrow turnover temporarily, and these silver coins must be repaid. ”

What Master Tian didn't say was that he had made several IOUs, with his signature on them, and he really couldn't rely on the debt, otherwise the reputation of this life would end here.

"When the people are suffering, the government can help one or two, but they can't do everything." Master Tian set the tone.

Yan Huaiwen nodded secretly.

That's the way to go.

Blindly giving will only cultivate the inertia of the people.

"I have an idea." Yan Lao Er said.

Master Tian and Yan Huaiwen looked at it at the same time.

Yan Lao Er cleared his throat and said: "I think so, don't wait until next spring to build towers in our villages, let's start now, let the people move, give them some wages, and build bridges, pave roads, dig ditches, dig stones, and cut trees......

Even if it is to build fortifications on the mountain, in short, there is only one purpose, and we cannot let everyone be idle.

People are moving, it's okay to be slower, let them have work, even if the salary is less, it is still an income, an income, then this day will not be lifeless, and they can live.

When they have money in their hands, they must buy grain, and our officials will hoard some grain and sell it to them, but they can't make some money, and there is still manual transportation loss or something, and we have to lose money if they are parity, we can't afford it, it's cheaper than what they bought in the grain store.

】

In this way, the money will still come back to us, let's buy food again, and the cycle will start over and over again, the people will not be hungry, we will not spend much money, the tower is being built, and the prince has also explained. ”

Yan Huaiwen's eyes were full of relief.

It's rare that God bless can think of this.

can not only revitalize this situation, but also have the belief that the people have the belief to live, and the government can afford it.

Kill three birds with one stone.

Master Tian's eyes were also full of smiles, and he couldn't stop nodding.

How to see how your own disciples are pleasing to the eye.

"Xiao Er, you come to report the account." Yan Lao Er said by name.

Yan Yu immediately rubbed forward and quoted the difference in the price he earned from selling medicine and buying grain this time.

It was the first time that Master Tian knew about the profits of selling medicine in Xiao'an Village, and he listened very carefully.

Yan Lao Er: "This money, if you don't move it in your hand, it won't be less, but it won't be much, you have to let it move, do some safe and uncompensatory livelihood, the cycle is short, it's not much at a time, and it's a lot after accumulation." ”

He looked at Master Tian and said seriously: "The money borrowed by the teacher, we still have to plan to pay it back." ”

"I'm afraid that the grain of the turtle edge will not be too much, and it will not last long, so that all the people go into the mountains to collect medicine, one is not safe, and the other is that they don't know the herbs, and the harvest is very small." Master Tian twisted his eyebrows and said.

Especially in terms of safety, the wild animals in the mountains are fierce, and entering the mountains is not a joke.

"This is not a good time to collect medicines, the weather is getting colder and colder, and there will only be fewer herbs to be found." Yan Lao Er said: "I heard many people in Yongning City say that this year's weather is a little abnormal, and it is too cold, so I think that the charcoal used for heating is going to rise."

Let's stock up on some charcoal and sell it to Yongning when it's cold, which is also a profit.

And cotton, furs, ...... These will probably go up as well. ”

Master Tian thought deeply: "The winter in Guanzhou is long, and the things that keep out the cold are important at all times, and God bless is extremely worried." ”

Master Tian and Yan Huaiwen added their thoughts.

One word from you, one word from me.

The strategy of surviving the winter is gradually taking shape.

Yan Lao Er didn't hold back, and squeezed his eyes at his daughter.

Yan Laoer: What did Dad say?

Yan Yu's eyes widened, and her small eyebrows trembled.

Yan Yu: Dad, you are the best!

When Yan Lao Er received it, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

"My lord, in addition to food, you can import another batch of iron from Xizhou." Yan Huaiwen suggested: "Cotton in Guanzhou has always been in short supply, and the price is high, so it is better to organize people to go into the mountains to hunt and obtain fur to keep out the cold." ”

Yan Yu glanced at her father.

Yan Lao Er was busy helping beside him: "Yes, teacher, if we hunt by ourselves, we don't need to spend money to buy the skin, and there is meat, meat is more hungry than food."

Xue Zongqi came to our village two days ago and said that he would move the military camp and take us to train, and after training, we would go into the mountains to hunt together.

Oh, isn't this right, let Xue Zongqi send some people out of the side and bring the men from various townships into the mountain, not to mention safety, the people under him are really powerful.

Before the injuries on his body were healed, he killed several wolves, as well as deer, roe deer, and the deer leg that Xiao Er brought to you came about like this. ”

Yan Huaiwen said softly: "If the bamboo crossbow in the village can be replaced with an iron arrowhead, it will be even more powerful. ”

The bamboo crossbow has been presented, there is no need to hide it anymore, the tiger needs such a simple and easy to use weapon.

Master Tian glanced at him deeply: "I also have this plan." ”
