Chapter 221: Lord Qingyu
After settling everything at home, Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao also set off to report to the capital.
Still holding the sword of Shang Fang in his hand, the process of buying food was so bumpy, if Qi Yunxiao did not go to the capital to return the sword quickly, he was afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would have a pimple in his heart.
In this era when the imperial power is greater than the sky, if His Majesty the Emperor is not happy, then no one will be happy.
All the way to the capital, Shen Qingyu obviously felt that there were many fewer displaced people along the way.
I think it was the food that I brought back that made a difference.
Buying grain from Great Xia can only solve short-term problems, and naturally we have to buy more grain from Great Xia.
The two went all the way and arrived in the capital smoothly, and as soon as they returned to Xinghua Hutong, they met the father-in-law in the palace who was waiting here and the dragon guard who came to Daqian Station in advance.
Nothing else, His Majesty summoned him and asked Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu to enter the palace immediately.
The two of them glanced at each other, come on, it's dirty, let's get dirty, let's go to the palace and talk about it.
The two of them entered the palace in the dust, kneeling in front of the new emperor with a gray face, but the new emperor was shocked: "You go to the side to change and wash first." ”
The two went next door, and naturally there were palace maids and father-in-law waiting for a change.
As soon as she finished changing and washing, Concubine Rong came.
The new emperor quietly breathed a sigh of relief: fortunately, they were asked to change and wash quickly.
If it is slower, Concubine Rong will see their disgraced appearance, and she will be blinded again.
Concubine Rong wanted to call Shen Qingyu away, but today's events were also related to Shen Qingyu, His Majesty the Emperor would not let people go, so Concubine Rong had to go and wait behind.
The new emperor first listened to Qi Yunxiao tell about going to Great Xia, except for Shen Qingyu's space, Qi Yunxiao did not hide the small abacus of the Great Xia monarch, and even those guys explained it thoroughly.
Then Qi Yunxiao said that he had beheaded Jiang Hai, the deputy commander of Zhenjiang Pass, and finally knelt down with a "poof" and asked the new emperor for his guilt: "The minister will cut off first and then play, and please punish Your Majesty." ”
His Majesty the Emperor had already received a letter sent by Jiang Hai before his death, in which Qi Yunxiao was said to be a rebel who was in contact with foreign countries, and he sent His Majesty the Emperor to kill him directly.
If it weren't for Qi Yunxiao's backing from the unknown Concubine Rong, Qi Yunxiao would have the cheekiness to call the new emperor a father, but he was afraid that he would really deceive the saint and kill Qi Yunxiao directly.
Therefore, when he heard Qi Yunxiao talk about what happened, the new emperor's face darkened: "A little Jiang family side branch, where can he have such courage to dare to delay the lives of thousands of people in Great Xia!" ”
Obviously, the new emperor wants to send the Jiang family.
Qi Yunxiao didn't answer, this kind of thing, the Sacred Heart is arbitrary, he is not suitable to answer.
After saying this, the new emperor told Qi Yunxiao again: "Next, I have to go to the Great Xia Kingdom again and buy more food to come back, so as to help the Great Qi tide over the difficulties." ”
Of course, at the same time, things such as gold, silver, jewelry, soap, and chili sauce can be given more, and strategic materials such as iron and war horses cannot be given more.
Qi Yunxiao, a perennial businessman, naturally understands this, and he understands it at the moment.
Then the eyes of the new emperor fell on Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu had been waiting silently on the side, and then he heard the new emperor's voice suddenly soften: "Qingyu, you let those homeless people make soap, make chili sauce, and raise rabbits...... All excellent. ”
"I wonder if you can bring out a group of people, like you, to provide more homeless people with opportunities to do things?"
Shen Qingyu: "......"
So, Your Majesty, are you going to snatch my job away and let someone else do it?
Of course, Shen Qingyu didn't dare to say this, she thought about it seriously.
In order to completely solve the problem of food shortage for the next half of the year, it is not enough to buy low-cost grain from Xia and sell low-cost grain from the imperial court, but also to provide people who lack food with channels to make money and opportunities to work.
Otherwise, they can't afford to buy even the grain at a low price.
Thinking about it carefully, Shen Qingyu said cautiously: "Your Majesty, now that there are countless displaced people from all over the world, if everyone comes to make chili sauce and soap, where will they sell so many chili sauce and soap?" ”
The new emperor naturally knew a little, but he just felt that Shen Qingyu must have a way: "Then do you have another way?" ”
Shen Qingyu thought for a while: "At present, there are several channels that can be found. The first is to solve the problem of water shortage in this year's arid places. ”
"This method of finding water sources, I believe that the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court must have capable people in this area, who can help find some groundwater, at least so that people will not die of thirst. If you can find groundwater on higher ground, you can irrigate some places. ”
"The second method is to take advantage of the current efforts to ask the displaced people to return to their hometowns and plant some sweet potatoes and other things that can carry hunger, so that they can harvest a handful of sweet potatoes before the Chinese New Year, and many people can survive."
"The third method, if the court is willing, can take this opportunity to recruit people from the villagers to repair rivers and open up wasteland, and they can give grain as wages, and they will not starve to death if they get food."
"There are also homeless people in our village who raise rabbits, which grow quickly, and can give birth to a litter a month, and they also give birth to more, and they don't need to be fed food. If you have a heart, you can raise rabbits. ”
"The meat of rabbits can be eaten, and the fur can be used as winter jackets and blankets. If His Majesty is gracious and asks them to take rabbit meat and fur to the capital to sell, and asks all the major families to pay for it, it is equivalent to asking them to help farmers. ”
"If you are worried about the long distance, the rabbit meat is not good to send into the capital, you can ask the countryside to cook high, stir-fry with wide oil chili peppers, make it full of flavor, and it is convenient to eat cold, and then put it in the capital as a snack to watch the play and sell it, and it will be more able to sell at a price."
There is such a thing as eating rabbits cold, you can have them.
The eyes of the new emperor looked at Shen Qingyu, and his eyes almost lit up!
Qi Yunxiao, the daughter-in-law, is really fast.
I don't know if I thought about it on the road? Or came up with it on the spot.
But no matter what, Shen Qingyu's methods can be used.
As for using it, it can't save everyone?
Neotiq does not strive for perfection.
If you can save eighty percent of the victims, it is considered a great merit!
There are many people and the situation is complicated, so there are always places that cannot be taken into account, and if it is all dependent on the relief of the imperial court, no amount of silver will be enough.
But if the people help themselves, and the court distributes food according to the amount of work done by the people, this thing is much easier.
The burden on the imperial court was greatly reduced, and the common people would not develop the habit of opening their mouths and waiting for the imperial court to help.
So, when Shen Qingyu came out of the palace, he had already become the county lord of Qingyu.
Holding the matching clothes of the county lord, followed by a group of guards and fathers-in-law who gave rewards, Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao walked towards Xinghua Hutong.
Along the way, everyone looked sideways and talked about it.
Some people inquired, and some people knew that Qi Yunxiao went to Great Xia and brought back a lot of food.
The little guy sent out by the Marquis of Qingping also saw the matching clothes of the county lord and the reward team in the crowd.
That's a ...... The Emperor's grace is mighty!
It's a pity that Qi Yunxiao has been expelled from the clan by the Marquis of Qingping, and has nothing to do with the Marquis of Qingping from now on.
This vast imperial grace has nothing to do with the Qingping Marquis Mansion.
