Chapter 130: Jinling Unsealed, Farmland Seeds!
After Jinling Changshi arrived at Xiang Yan's office room, Xiang Yan told him the general direction of the global plague control.
Then he asked him to take his subordinates to refine the details and come up with a set of plans that could be implemented.
After showing Xiang Yan that there is no problem, he can cover the double seals of Qincha and Jinling Thorn History, and send them to the entire territory of Jiangnan Province for implementation.
"Brother Liu, I have something I want you to do here."
After Jinling Changshi was ordered to leave, Xiang Yan said to Liu Yan.
"Now the problems of food prices and plagues are largely solved."
"But the question of how to get all the victims to return to work is not yet clear."
"In this way, you can calculate the money we got from selling grain in Yuhang and the balance of the disaster relief money issued by the imperial court."
"Set aside a part of the cost that we need to bear after the whole people drink medicine."
"Let's use the rest of the money to buy seeds."
"In two days, we'll start giving out seeds for free."
"With the seeds, the people can go back into production, and then our disaster relief is almost done."
"Then we can go back to the capital together!"
The work has seen the dawn of completion, and Liu Yan is also in good spirits and has been ordered to work hard.
Inside Jinling City.
With Li Wu's discharge, the "quarantine zone" set up by the Chin Cha will end exercising its functions from today.
In the "observation area", Li Wu saw that the girl who was feeding him medicine was making some umbrella-like decorations out of strips of cloth.
He leaned over and asked:
"Engong, what are you doing?"
The girl was a little flattered when she heard Li Wu say this:
"I'm not your father-in-law, I'm just doing something as little as I can to feed the medicine, but I can't talk about the word father-in-law."
"If you really want to recognize Engong, you have to recognize Lord Qincha, he is your real benefactor, my benefactor, and the benefactor of all the saved people in the entire Jinling City!"
"I'm not making an umbrella for all people."
"Lord Qincha is from the capital, and he will have to leave sooner or later."
"So we all put it together, we can't just watch Lord Qincha leave."
"Before Lord Qincha leaves, we must make the most Wanmin umbrellas!"
"No matter how much we do, we can't express our gratitude in our hearts!"
Wanmin umbrella.
When the magistrates in the feudal society left office, the most popular way for the people to express their feelings of retention was to send Wanmin umbrellas.
It means that this outgoing magistrate protects the people on this side like a giant umbrella every day, and is a good official who loves the people like a son.
The more it is sent, the more it can show the weight of officials in the hearts of the people.
Li Wu thought for a moment.
"Since you are all making the umbrella of the people, then I will set up an immortal tablet for Lord Qincha!"
"When I get out of the observation area, I'll set up a tablet for Chincha-sama to pray for good fortune at home!"
"I burn incense and kowtow every day, and bless Engong with a lifetime of happiness and longevity!"
The girl smiled when she heard this, and told him:
"When you go out of the observation area, the east side of the city is erecting an immortal monument for Lord Qincha, so go over and help when you have time."
"Hey~" Li Wu replied.
Liu Yan's task of buying seeds went smoothly.
But I didn't expect the task of sending seeds to encounter great difficulties.
"Childe, I put up a notice on the street, asking all the people in need to come to the county government to receive seeds for free."
"But today is the second day after the notice was posted, and only a few people have come to the county government to receive seeds. Don't know what's going on. ”
Listening to Liu Yan's report, Xiang Yan was also confused.
After that, at the suggestion of the old housekeeper Yang, he brought Jinling Changshi to ask if he knew what the situation was.
After listening to Xiang Yan's inquiry, Jinling Changshi showed a look of embarrassment:
"Master Xiang, this ...... The people have no land in their hands, and it is useless for them to take the seeds back...... That's why no one came to get the seeds. ”
Xiang Yan was suddenly surprised, he couldn't have imagined that it was because of this reason:
"What's going on? Haven't the floods been managed? Rivers and ponds, didn't Zuo Xiang Li Linfu have already presided over the relevant work when he came before? ”
"Now that the flood has been channeled and flowed to the sea, should the people's fields have recovered from their submerged state?"
"Now that the submersion has been removed, isn't the earth usable?"
"Is there any way to say it? What flooded fields should be stopped for a year and not be planted? ”
"Or is it that the boundaries of the fields have been destroyed by the flood, and the question of the ownership of the fields has not yet been sorted out?"
After listening to Xiang Yan's question, Jinling Changshi was even more embarrassed on his face:
"Chincha-sama, this ...... It's not like that......"
"The relevant work has been done before, and there is no problem with the land, and there is no problem with the ownership."
"Just ......"
At this time, the old housekeeper Yang came back to his senses:
"It's just that the land has been annexed by you landlords and gentry, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, right?"
Xiang Yan frowned and asked solemnly:
"What's going on?"
Old housekeeper Yang continued:
"He didn't dare to say it because he was one of the beneficiaries of the Jiangnan flood."
"Childe, let me ask you a question and you will understand."
"When everything in your field has been swept away by the flood, and last year's food has been eaten, what are you going to do to survive the next year?"
Xiang Yan reacted:
"Sell houses and land, sell children and daughters!"
"But isn't the imperial court giving porridge, as long as you rely on porridge to survive the most difficult time, when a minister like me comes, it will only be a matter of a few months to resume production."
"It can't be that all the victims of the disaster are such people who are short-sighted, have no vision, and sell all their backroads, right?"
Xiang Yan asked this, but even Old Butler Yang didn't dare to continue.
Xiang Yan came back to his senses, quickly withdrew everyone, and closed the doors and windows, leaving only the old housekeeper Yang and him.
"Can you say that now?" Xiang Yan asked.
Old Butler Yang continued:
"It was indeed as you said, young master."
"But the governance work in Jiangnan during this period has been done. Do you think that what you have done is really some peerless trouble that is so difficult that even people like Li Linfu can't handle it? ”
This reminder suddenly made Xiang Yan feel like his mind exploded.
Indeed, although the things he has done during this time are not simple, there are really few people in the world who can do it.
But Li Linfu is one of the few people who can be an official in the world, known as the "mouth honey belly sword", "meat waist knife", or the left minister!
Li Linfu is a member of the clan group, and he is related to the son of heaven!
As for these small problems that Xiang Yan has faced during this period of time, for a person of Li Linfu's level, it is really not a trouble that is absolutely impossible to deal with!
