Chapter 112: Cash-for-Work
Lin Xiuhan was completely expected of his brother being summoned by the emperor, "I originally wanted to ask the court for Jing Yan, since the emperor already knows about the matter here, then I don't have to report it anymore, please rest assured that Prince Jing will take care of the Chu family." Jing Yan has never been to the capital, and he doesn't understand the situation in the capital, so he asked Prince Jing to take more care of Jing Yan. ”
Xiao Yilin said: "This is nature, I will take care of Jingyan." ”
In the evening, Gu Yu came back and also brought back the information of the assassin's confession, "Lord Wang, we interrogated that assassin strictly and found out that they were sent by Duan Wang Xiao Yiheng.
It turns out that they didn't come for you in the first place. Their initial purpose was to find the whereabouts of the Pavilion Master of Tianling Pavilion and his apprentice.
It is said that the Pavilion Master of Tianling Pavilion and his apprentice turned against each other and disappeared near Hui'an County. They were sent to find these two men. It was only by chance that they found out about us, and they knew that King Duan had been trying to get rid of you, so they temporarily changed their minds and assassinated you. As for Dr. Chu's affairs, they didn't find out. ”
Xiao Yilin listened to Gu Yu's report and nodded: "It's good that I didn't find out about Jingyan." It seems that King Duan wants to control Tianling Pavilion in his own hands. But Tianling Pavilion was something he could get if he wanted it. It must have been that they had bought the apprentice of the Tianling Pavilion Pavilion Master, and wanted to replace the Tianling Pavilion Master in order to achieve the goal of controlling the Tianling Pavilion.
They were looking for the missing Tianling Pavilion Master, and their purpose must have not been achieved. However, this Tianling Pavilion is very mysterious, and their people rarely show up outside, and few outsiders know who the pavilion master of Tianling Pavilion is.
You ask Chief Manager Xiao to find a way to send a message to the people of Tianling Pavilion, telling them that the master of Tianling Pavilion was hunted down by Duanwang's people and disappeared in Huizhou Mansion. It also let them know that King Xuan coveted Tianling Pavilion. ”
When Gu Yu reported it, Xiao Yilin didn't let Jing Yi avoid it, so she heard Gu Yu's words.
I didn't expect this matter to be related to King Duan and Tianling Pavilion, and King Duan's people came to find his uncle. It's just that they found out halfway that Xiao Yilin wanted to do a side quest, but they were all wiped out by Xiao Yilin.
In this way, Xiao Yilin can be regarded as preventing the disaster for his uncle.
Jing Yi said: "Have all the people sent by King Xuan been wiped out? Are there any other teams? ”
Gu Yu shook his head and said, "The only one who was caught knew about the assassin was their team. Maybe there were others, he didn't know. Now all the main roads into Huizhou are handled by our people, and people will be checked.
Inns, restaurants and other places in Huizhou Mansion and Hui'an County have our secret agents, and those with bad intentions can only take the path that no one knows if they want to enter Huizhou quietly. Even if people come in, it is difficult to hide unless they stay in the middle of nowhere. ”
Jing Yi shook his head and said, "You can't guarantee that there will be no fish that have slipped through the net. There are many ways for them to hide. For example, pretending to be a disaster victim, pretending to be a merchant, pretending to be visiting relatives and friends, and so on. They can not live in an inn, and they can rent a small courtyard and become a stronghold.
They can also buy off some people to get the information they need. Now the transportation is inconvenient, and the information is relatively closed, and it is too easy to hide.
Therefore, it is still necessary to take defensive measures, just like this assassination is impossible to prevent. Usually, it is better for Brother Xiao to bring more guards to protect him. ”
Xiao Yulin said: "If they were in Fucheng, they wouldn't dare to assassinate so blatantly. However, in addition to the guards on the surface, I am also protected by secret guards, so you don't have to worry. ”
Because of the large number of people in the village who participated in the wheat harvest, everyone was full of energy, and within a few days all the winter wheat was harvested. It is also quickly threshed and dried and packed into sacks. Just waited for Xiao Yilin to leave and transported it away.
I don't know when Huizhou has poured in a lot of displaced people, and even Hui'an County has a lot. When Lin Xiuhan came to Yunxi Village, Jing Yi asked, only to know that there was a drought in many places this year.
Not to mention other places, even the rainfall in Huizhou Prefecture this year is limited.
However, this year, there is a waterwheel designed by Jingyi, and the people under Xiao Yilin vigorously promote the waterwheel, so the drought resistance of Huizhou Mansion has been greatly improved. Huizhou Prefecture has been largely unaffected.
However, in other places, because the promotion of waterwheels has not been paid attention to, the common people who can only rely on the weather for food have no harvest and can only go out to escape the famine
This year, because of the waterwheel designed by Jingyi, many nearby villages with water sources have used waterwheels. Even if there is a drought, it has eased a lot, so this year's crops in Huizhou are obviously much better than in other state capitals.
Xiao Yilin also received a report from the palace and learned that several state capitals in the north of the Jin Kingdom were suffering from drought. Last year's disaster has not been completely resolved, and this year's drought has worsened, which is simply worse.
Xiao Yilin sighed after reading the newspaper and said happily: "Fortunately, Jingyan created a waterwheel, our Huizhou government began to vigorously promote waterwheels and build water conservancy last year, and we have seen the results this year." Now only a few counties in Huizhou have been affected, and the other counties have hardly been affected by the drought, which is really a blessing for Huizhou. It's all because of the banquet that you have benefited the people of Huizhou. ”
Jing Yi said: "That's also because you have promoted it vigorously and realized the importance of building water conservancy, so that the people will not be completely dependent on the sky for food."
This is also because our Huizhou Mansion is located at the southern end of the Jin Kingdom, and there is relatively more rain, so there will be no drought. But with so many displaced people pouring into Huizhou Mansion, what are you going to do? ”
Xiao Yilin said: "Now this little person is nothing to Huizhou Mansion. I will order the counties to give soup to the victims and then properly resettle them on the spot.
There is a large amount of wasteland in Huizhou Prefecture, and as long as you open up the wasteland and grow food, you will never starve to death. Now that you have your high-yield grain seeds, the life of the common people will be better and better in the future. ”
Jing Yi thought for a while and said: "You might as well use work for relief, such as letting those victims build roads and dig canals, they will pay for their labor, and then you will give them food, so that some facilities and projects in the country can be completed, and the disaster victims will not starve to death if they have money and food." lest they be raised to be lazy with only alms. ”
Xiao Yilin's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at Jing Yi with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "Jing Yan, your little head is really smart." You're doing a great job. In this way, some of the projects in Huizhou can be completed by these victims, and the government only needs to pay them food or corresponding money to ensure that they will not starve to death.
It's the best of both worlds. It's just wonderful. I'll have to report your plan to my father. This approach can be adopted everywhere to provide relief to the victims. ”
Xiao Yilin hurriedly wrote a recital, and then asked people to quickly send it back to the capital.
