Chapter Ninety-Three: What Does My Son Think?

Yuan Yao glanced at the leg of mutton on the table, but he didn't move his chopsticks.

He didn't want to talk to Yuan Shu about this at such a time, but since he had such an opportunity, Yuan Yao decided to talk to Yuan Shu about it.

"Father, do you know what has happened inside and outside Shouchun City recently?"

Yuan Shu, who was feasting, heard his son say such a sentence inexplicably, frowned for a while, and then stopped his chopsticks.

"What does Yao'er want to say?"

"On the way back from Runan, Erchen found that there were many displaced people who fled south in various parts of Huainan, especially near Shouchun City, where the population was even larger, and a few had more than 100,000 displaced people."

"I don't know about this, has my father ever heard of it?"

Hearing Yuan Yao talk about this homeless person, Yuan Shu's expression was still a little tense, but it was suddenly relieved.

"Ahem, what did my father think you were going to say, it turned out that he was just talking about those fart people, aren't they just some homeless people, every year in winter, there will be some, but there are more of them this year."

"Don't worry, it's like this, when these homeless people enter the winter, they will flee to the south, and when the spring begins next year, they will come back."

Yuan Shu really didn't have any worries about the affairs of the homeless, firstly, as a superior who did not eat minced meat, he did not take the homeless people in his eyes at all, and secondly, he was also a homeless person, every year, in the troubled times, once there was a war somewhere, it would cause a large number of fleeing homeless people.

There is no way to stop this thing, unless there is no natural disaster, no natural disaster.

But when Yuan Yao heard Yuan Shu's understatement, he immediately put on an appearance of hating iron but not steel.

It seems that Yuan Yao is Yuan Shu's father, looking at Yuan Shu's indifferent appearance, Yuan Yao is really heartbroken.

This old man really didn't know that he was about to die.

"Then do you know why there are more displaced people this year than in previous years?"

"I listened to their discussion at the court meeting, and it seems that this summer, there was a continuous drought, there was little rain and dew, and the crops planted by the people were not harvested, and there were more naturally displaced people."

"But it's okay, they'll beg along the road, they won't die."

Yuan Shu didn't get angry when he saw his son asking, but patiently explained to Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao was stimulated by Yuan Shu's words, and almost jumped up, this Yuan Shu really didn't have any consciousness at all, no wonder a good situation was lost by him in just two years.

"Father, you can't say that, this year's situation is completely different from previous years."

"In the battle of Huaibei, Lu Bu wantonly plundered in Huaibei, forcing the people of Huaibei into a corner, not only their homes were destroyed, but even their money and grain were looted."

"And in the Huaisi area, because of the drought for months, the land is not harvested, it is already an extremely terrible situation, the people can't even afford to eat a mouthful of food, if only a small number of people, sell themselves to the family, become tenants can be solved, but this year's situation is too many people fleeing and begging."

"I'm afraid that even the big families themselves are not having a good time, so how can they take in those people who sell themselves to beg."

"If they all starve to death, and the vast territory under my father's command not only lacks soldiers, but also lacks a source of tax revenue, isn't it because of a small loss?"

No matter what Yuan Yao said, he was also the black hand behind the turmoil in Huaibei, Yuan Shu could watch the displaced people and ignore it, but Yuan Yao couldn't stand it.

Of course, he wants to open a warehouse for disaster relief, but his status is not high, and he is still a deposed prince, if he is a high-profile disaster relief victim, he is afraid that it will make Yuan Shu unhappy.

Therefore, in this matter, you have to communicate with Yuan Shu first, even if you can't get a batch of money and food from Yuan Shu's hands, you have to let Yuan Shu promise him to help the victims.

Yuan Shu didn't care about the lives and deaths of these homeless people, but when Yuan Yao talked about the source of soldiers and taxes, Yuan Shu's face became gloomy.

seemed to understand what Yuan Yao wanted to say.

Looking at the change in Yuan Shu's face, Yuan Yao understood that Yuan Shu was already thinking about relieving the victims.

Immediately, he continued to persuade Yuan Shu.

"Father, the people in this world are actually the best people, all they want is a mouthful of food, and they can even work all day for this, if the father can lend a helping hand when they are displaced and hungry, he will definitely be able to win the hearts of the people."

"As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the father has already dominated Huainan, if there is the help of the people, it is just around the corner to get involved in the world."

Yuan Yao knew how to persuade Yuan Shu, it was nothing more than to draw a cake for Yuan Shu, and paint this cake better, not afraid that Yuan Shu would not be fooled.

Sure enough, when Yuan Shu heard that those who won the hearts of the people won the world, the look on his face was different.

There was clearly a hint of interest.

"Father, if these homeless people are completely killed and cannot be saved, when the number of homeless people is large, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be some people with a heart, who will learn from the yellow scarf and open the horns more than ten years ago, and do the following crimes."

As soon as he heard the words Yellow Turban and Zhang Jiao, Yuan Shu's expression was even more shocked, and then he fell into deep thought.

As an important minister of the imperial court, he really experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Yellow Turban Rebellion thirteen years ago was the prelude to the collapse of the Han Dynasty, although it was suppressed by the imperial court, but it also made the dynasty enter the beginning of disintegration.

The Great Zhong Kingdom, which Yuan Shu had just established, was naturally reluctant to take that old path, so when he heard Yuan Yao say that the displaced people might rebel and revolt, Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment.

It seems that he made up his mind all at once.

"My son is right, if these homeless people are left alone, it will indeed be of no benefit to us, and there will even be great disadvantages."

"And what do I think about this?"

Yuan Shu couldn't think of anything to do for a while, and when he saw Yuan Yao mention this matter, he hurriedly opened his mouth and asked Yuan Yao.

I want to see if my son has any solution to this.

When Yuan Yao came, he had already thought of the means, and now when he saw Yuan Shu asking, he immediately spoke.

"Father, it is actually very simple to solve these homeless people, as I just said, the needs of these people are actually very simple, what they want is just a bite to eat."

"As long as my father is willing to open a warehouse for disaster relief and implement the policy of soup soup relief in various places, he can win the hearts of the people, and the people in the vicinity will not only not flee because of this, but will even become famous, attracting refugees from the surrounding counties."

"As soon as the population increases, the strength of my father's command will increase, and at the same time, after the spring of the next year, those wastelands will have manpower to cultivate."
