Chapter 99: Lin Ruyu's idea
On the fourth day of the loss of disaster relief grain, the hot topic in the teahouses and alleys in Xuanzhou City changed from "the eldest girl of the Lin family was ruined by mountain bandits" to "Taishou Zhu Mengzhen was incompetent, and the officials guarded and stole disaster relief grain".
Xuanzhou Taishou was like sitting on pins and needles, and issued several orders to trace the whereabouts of the relief grain, and demanded that the disaster relief materials be raised again as soon as possible to be transported to the disaster area. The former was an errand for the Yamen officials, and the latter naturally fell to the Xuanzhou businessmen.
Xuanzhou pharmacists and grain merchants, including Fang's, were invited to Yamen for tea, and Lin Ruyu couldn't persuade her dizzy and uncomfortable mother, so she had to accompany her.
As soon as Sicang Shuzuo Xu Luyuan spoke, he pointed directly at the Lin family's mother, Fang's, "Mrs. Lin said last time that she would fully support the Yamen disaster relief, and at this time of crisis, how many herbs and food does Madam plan to donate?"
The merchants looked at the Fang family gloatingly, if your Lin family wants a good reputation, you have to buy it with silver!
Lin Ruyu, who was standing behind her mother, looked calm when she saw Xu Luyuan's villainous face. After investigating this person's background, Lin Ruyu already expected that he would definitely stir up trouble today.
Shi Ye Changjun, the governor of Xuanzhou, who was in the main position, also raised his eyes to look at the mother and daughter of the Lin family, among all the men, the mother and daughter of the Lin family were the most eye-catching. Seeing that standing behind the beautiful mother of the Lin family, the eldest daughter of the Lin Mansion in the prime of her cardamom years, was a little more beautiful than her, and her expression was as calm and calm as her mother, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The mother of the Lin family raised a good daughter, and the rumors on the street are nonsense.
Seeing that Ye Changshi, who was presiding over the meeting today, did not speak, Fang's owe himself and replied respectfully, "Lord Huixu, the women of the people are subject to the Yamen's recruitment."
Hiss –
Fang's words made Xuanzhou businessman have a toothache, and he also felt sorry for Lin Kangnian, who had not returned from going to sea: marrying such a loser daughter-in-law, he still held it as a treasure.
Xu Luyuan, who was about to slaughter the Lin family, was overjoyed, "Mrs. Lin is really high-spirited......
Before he could finish speaking, Fang owed again, and replied, "Lord Xu has won the prize. The elder brother of the folk woman served as a secretary in the Yamen of Chuzhou, so the folk woman knew since she was a child that it was not easy for the adults to work hard for the country and the people, and it was an honor for the Lin family to be able to contribute to the disaster relief and relief of the people."
Seeing that Xu Luyuan couldn't laugh, Lin Ruyu sneered in her heart. In the event of a catastrophe, the imperial court has clear regulations on how to levy money and grain from the people for disaster relief. Mother's words are to tell Xu Luyuan: There are people in our Lin family in the yamen, if you Xu Luyuan dare to ignore the law and hollow out the Lin family, the Lin family will sue you for changing hands, leaving you with no official wealth, and in the end there is only a coffin!
Changshi Ye Changjun glanced at Xu Luyuan, who was sitting with his hands drooping, and opened his mouth with an official tone, "The people of the seven counties are waiting to be fed, and they are too anxious......
After a long speech, Ye Chang asked the yamen to send the list of food and medicines that the yamen needed to requisition to the hands of the merchants present, and said affectionately, "This official Zhier and others also have shops and fertile fields damaged, and their livelihoods are not as good as in the past.
The local yamen knew best how many houses, fertile fields, and shops the merchants under their rule were, and what their income was. The amount of relief materials to be requisitioned is also set according to the strength of each family. Of course, the payment is calculated according to the lowest price in the market. ….
To put it bluntly, this requisition order is a white slip from the yamen to the businessmen, and as for when it will be cashed, it depends on when the yamen is in a good mood and has spare money.
However, there is a white note, and the businessmen still have a hope, and the next thing is the pure "love" meat cutting link.
Before Xu Luyuan could point the finger at the Lin family, the Fang family took the initiative to speak, "Lord Changshi, after the flood recedes, can the affected fields be arranged to be cultivated?"
As soon as they heard about the cultivation of the fields, the eyes of all the businessmen lit up, and their hearts began to crackle: more than half of the people in the disaster area were killed or wounded, and a large area of land was uncultivated, if the yamen allowed them to take the opportunity to buy fertile land at a low price......
Cracking sound......
Cracking sound......
Ye Changshi looked at Xuanzhou's secretary in charge of agricultural affairs, Fan Linhai.
Fan Linhai is a man of few words, but he is one of the few officials in the yamen who is down-to-earth. Fang's took the initiative to mention disaster farming,
Fan Linhai replied truthfully, "Lord Taishou has ordered that after the flood waters recedes, the flood should be drained in time, and the crops should be cultivated as soon as possible, so as to harvest drought-tolerant vegetables such as rice, cabbage, radish, winter melon, and pumpkin before the beginning of winter, so as to ensure that the people survive the winter. At present, rapeseed and high-quality rice seedlings are urgently needed, and if the flood waters recede and then distribute rice seeds, raise seedlings, and plant rice seedlings to the people, they will not be able to catch up."
Fang said the amount agreed with the steward in advance, "The Lin family is willing to produce 6,000 catties of rice seeds, and the Lin family's unflooded fields in the seven affected counties can be used to raise seedlings, and the seedlings can be distributed to the people for planting after the flood waters recedes." It's just that we don't have enough manpower and experience, so we need to send people from the yamen to guide and breed."
Fan Linhai was excited, stood up and responded, "Mrs. Lin has a great heart of righteousness, which is admired by this official. As long as the Lin family is willing to produce rice seeds and fertile land, the matter of raising seedlings will be properly arranged."
Merchants ......
Lin Kangnian, come back quickly and pull back your daughter-in-law who was kicked in the head by a donkey, I can't bear it!
Without waiting for others to speak, Zhao Jinhuan's father, Zhao Dejin, also stood up, "My lord, my Zhao family, like the Lin family, also produces 6,000 catties of rice, and the fields needed for raising seedlings are also used by the Yamen."
Zhao Dejin was not kicked in the head by a donkey, since he also said so, the businessmen calmed down and thought about it, and they also understood.
That's right! Rice seedlings and rapeseed are much better than silver. The money will be filled by the people of the yamen, and the people affected by the disaster will not be able to do it at all. But they can't be greedy for rapeseed and rice seedlings, and if the rapeseed and seedlings are planted, the people will have hope, and the yamen will not chase them for silver at the street corner.
As a result, various businessmen rushed to donate rice seeds, rice seedlings, and rapeseeds, and the scene was unprecedentedly lively.
Fan Linhai, who cherished the people, burst into tears, and ordered someone to record it, Xu Luyuan, whose abacus failed, had a gloomy face, and Ye Changjun, who had successfully completed the errand, smiled and began to draft a merit for himself in his heart.
Out of the yamen, Zhao Dejin took the initiative to talk to Fang's family, "Why did my brother and sister come over with Ruyu today?"
Other families either bring housekeepers or sons, even if Lin Fang's family doesn't want to take the housekeeper, they should bring Lin Kangyu over. Today, she brought a little girl over, which is really strange.
Fang Shi stood firm against his daughter and sighed, "Brother Zhao also knows my family's difficulties. Among the children, only Ruyu is older, but she can come out to help the family do something. If she doesn't do something thoughtful in the future, please bear with me."
Lin Ruyu followed her mother's words and bowed her head to Zhao De, "Ruyu is young and shallow, please ask your uncle for more advice."
The Lin family is going to cultivate Lin Ruyu?!
Zhao Dejin's heart was turbulent, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Ruyu has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and with her help, her younger siblings can save a lot."
Although this girl is young, she is very popular with the Lin family, and she is indeed stronger than the second child of the Lin family.
