"Do I talk nonsense, my mother knows in her heart, I am a little tired of running back and forth today, what is there to talk about tomorrow."

Wei Ruo walked out without looking back after speaking, not giving the Yun clan a chance to get angry with him.

Yun was a little angry: "It's really getting less and less of my mother!" ”

Cui Ping comforted on the side: "Madame, don't be angry, Miss Xu is eldest lady heard some rumors, and knew that Madame, you should go to Xu's house to talk to the matchmaker, and I was angry." ”

"Even if I know, there's nothing to make her angry, since ancient times, marriage events have been the words of the matchmaker of her parents, this family affair is already too good to be good, what reason does she have to be angry with me?"

"Madame also knows the temperament of the eldest lady, she has no bad intentions, but she is straightforward and unruly."

Cui Ping's words reminded Yun of her husband's advice, so she sighed and waved her hand: "That's it, let her go." ”

###

Early the next morning, Yun and Wei Ruo went to the prefect's mansion together.

The two of them didn't say a word along the way, Wei Ruo looked down at the book, what he saw was the grotesque chronicle that Mr. Wang Caiwei gave her recently, Wei Ruo was not interested in the books of the Eight Classics, but had the leisure to read this kind of wild books and idle books.

It's just that she's been very busy lately, and her free time is spent looking at the account books, and she happens to be in a car with the Yun family today, so Wei Ruo will take it out and take a look.

In addition to some idle books, Mr. Wang sometimes brings some novelties to her, and for Wei Ruo, she is not only a good teacher but also a good friend.

After a cup of tea, the carriage of the school captain's mansion arrived at the prefect's mansion, and when the Yun family got off the car, she saw Mrs. Yuan's personal maid waiting at the door, she greeted the Yun family very politely, and then turned her eyes to Wei Ruo.

"Big girl, Madame asked the slave to wait for you here."

Qingyi was polite and polite to the Yun family, and obviously had a little more respect for Wei Ruo.

"There's a girl in light clothes waiting here." Wei Ruodao.

"Big girl and lady, please come with me." The light clothes led Wei Ruo and the Yun family into the mansion.

They have been here many times, and Yun and Wei Ruo are already familiar with the prefect's mansion.

The place of today's appointment is the flower hall in the backyard, and when Yun and Wei Ruo arrived, there were already many people sitting in the flower hall, all of whom were the wives of people with heads and faces in Taizhou Mansion.

In addition, there was another person that the Yun clan didn't expect also to participate - Mama Qin.

Mama Qin is a member of the Seven Princes, and she is also the old lady in the palace, and she is an old man who can speak in front of the noble concubine.

Such a grandmother is much more valuable than the status of the head lady of an ordinary family, and everyone looks at her with some respect in their eyes.

Mrs. Yuan also reserved the first seat on the right for Mama Qin. And the first position on the left is given to Mrs. Xu.

The positions of the rest of the ladies were also arranged according to the status of their husbands.

After everyone arrived, Mrs. Yuan asked Wei Ruo to explain the purpose of coming to them today.

Wei Ruo got up, came to Mrs. Yuan's side, and said to the ladies in front of him: "Presumably, all of you ladies have some understanding of the recent events, and you know that the current situation of displaced people in the city is everywhere, which not only affects the stability of the city, but also brings other problems. ”

The ladies nodded their heads.

Everyone knew about this, and before they came, they also guessed that Mrs. Yuan might come to them for this matter, after all, in this situation, it is unlikely that Mrs. Yuan will have the leisure to talk to them about other things, let alone to enjoy the flowers and the moon and taste tea and wine.

Wei Ruo continued: "For the sake of the stability of Taizhou Mansion and for the relief of more victims, I specially invite all the ladies to come here today to discuss, and I hope that the ladies can help." ”

After speaking, all the ladies showed embarrassed expressions.

In front of Mrs. Yuan, it was not good for everyone to directly refute Wei Ruo's proposal.

After several people looked at each other a few times, Mrs. Xu said to Wei Ruo: "Big girl, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult. ”

Mrs. Xu wanted to tell Wei Ruo that it was not something that could be done in three or two sentences to get the powerful people in Taizhou Mansion to contribute money and food, and she couldn't think about this matter too simply.

Others have also taken a stand:

"I'm afraid the eldest girl of the Wei family doesn't know, now that everyone is having a hard time, there is no place to be rich to relieve the victims."

"Yes, not to mention that there are so many victims, and I don't know how long this disaster will last, and this disaster relief can only be saved for a while, not a long-term solution."

"It's a good thing that Miss Wei has the heart to help the disaster, but I think this matter should be handed over to the imperial court, I heard that the imperial court has sent people down to relieve the disaster, and I think I will come to Taizhou Mansion in the near future."

“……”

Listening to everyone's words, Yun's brows couldn't help frowning.

The eldest daughter's speech today was a little too taken for granted, and when Wanwan put forward this point of view when she was discussing it at home that day, why did she still make such an immature suggestion to the ladies?

Wei Ruo was not surprised by everyone's reaction.

She said unhurriedly: "I understand what the ladies mean, so I don't plan to directly send food for disaster relief." Distributing food for disaster relief can only solve a temporary emergency, not a long-term solution. ”

Hearing Wei Ruo's words, the ladies showed puzzled expressions.

Wei Ruo continued: "The method I think of is to work for relief. ”

"What is cash-for-work?"

The person who asked was Mrs. Xu, and she also felt that Wei Ruo could not be so superficial and directly let them fund the disaster relief.

Wei Ruo began to explain: "As we all know, there is a lot of wasteland in Taizhou Prefecture: saline-alkali land, sandy land, and compacted barren land. If the victims are organized to reclaim and improve these lands, and if crops are successfully grown on these lands, it will not only be able to resettle the victims, but also solve the problem of food shortage. ”

"We have already done something similar in Xingshan County before, through the improvement and digging of saline-alkali land, we have successfully planted wheat on land that could not grow crops in the first place, and the wheat yield is very considerable. Rice is still being planted on these lands, and it is expected to be harvested again in the autumn. ”

Many people here have heard of the affairs of Xingshan County, and they cannot be faked.

Some people nodded, saying that they had heard about the reclamation of wasteland in Xingshan County, and some people praised that thing was done well.

People who didn't know about this matter also understood after other people's explanations.

There have been successful cases that show that it is feasible to convert wasteland into arable land.

Mrs. Xu asked Wei Ruo: "What does Miss Wei mean is that she wants to use this method of organizing the victims to open pits and wasteland in the entire Taizhou Mansion to achieve the resettlement of the victims?" ”

Wei Ruo nodded: "This is true, but it is different from the previous one." ”

Mrs. Xu asked, "What's the difference?" ”
