Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 807: ：Being responsible for the people

Yu Shande is the son of the clan leader’s wife. What impressed him most was the imperial examination four years ago. He went to the house several times to visit his grandmother. Once, he met him and another clan brother behind the rockery and talked about the imperial examination. The matter of fraud.

After a while, Yu Youyao said: "I remember that he has been promoted to the position of minister of the Hanlin Academy and is a close minister of the emperor. After gaining qualifications in the Hanlin Academy, he can rise through the ranks and directly enter the cabinet. Compared with Yu Zongshen back then, he is also No more concessions," she said softly, closing her eyelashes, "I'm not as good as him."

Everyone in the world praises her as a saint and a living Bodhisattva, but she is far behind Yu Shande's scholarly spirit and awe-inspiring righteousness.

Her kindness is within her ability.

The goodness of Yu Shande is to care about the world and serve the people.

Yin Huaixi frowned: "You have done more than him. It was you who mediated with the court, gained the court's support, and forced the gentry to pay for food. That's why I allowed a large number of refugees to flow into the north. You go After taking the ninety-nine steps ahead, Yu Shande just finished the last step you didn’t take.”

Yu Youyao chuckled softly: "I don't mean to compare with Brother Dezu, I just express my feelings and admire him for his heart towards Zhang Gong, his upright spirit of heaven and earth, and his learning of sages and uprightness, which is embodied in morality. , the rarest and rarest thing in the world."

Literati and students regard Mr. Zhang as a sage, but how many people in this world dare to do what Mr. Zhang did?

Xie Jingliu shook his folding fan: "Most of the literati are shameless and cherish their reputation and respect Duke Zhang, but they dare not imitate Duke Zhang for fear of being imitated and making people laugh. Even Yu Shande only planned to do so at the beginning. I starved and froze with the refugees, ate grass roots, peeled tree bark, and led the refugees to the north. I didn't expect that I would meet more refugees fleeing the famine along the way."

"The refugees who joined later had no food in their hands and often robbed other people's food. In addition, the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, resulting in many deaths and injuries. He tried his best to appease the refugees, but as a last resort, he wiped his face and imitated Zhang Gong. Then go into the city and ask the rich households in the city for food."

"He was born in a famous family, the son of the patriarch of the Yu family, a two-ranked Jinshi, a good scholar, a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, and a close official of the emperor. Although the city gates in various places were closed and refugees were prohibited from entering, they could not stop him. , for most of the wealthy households in the city, he cannot be offended, and he will definitely have to pay some amount of food."

Yu Youyao was a little curious: "You don't seem to be surprised at all by Brother De's behavior."

Yin Huaixi said: "It's not surprising. The Yu clan can pass down from the previous dynasty to the present and produce several virtuous people. Isn't it normal? The purpose of educating people is to glorify the ancestors' merits and virtues, such as Yu Zongshen, high official and generous salary. , it is to glorify the ancestral merits, and to serve the people like Yu Shande, how can it not be to glorify the ancestral virtues?"

A big family has both good and bad sides. The Yu clan behaves decently externally and fairly internally.

Although it is unavoidable that there is some heavy profit on the head of the Xie family, on the other hand, for the Yu family, the Xie family is the wife of the Yu family, and every clan member is contributing to the family. As the saying goes, how big is it? Strength, no matter how big the job, Xie has a lot of money, so naturally he has to put more effort in this aspect.

From the perspective of the overall interests of the family, this is correct.

Xie also understands.

If it were not for the Xie family's long-term vision, he took the initiative to give away 30% of the Yu family's profits.

How could Yu Youyao easily return to his mother's clan?

Old Madam Yu is one thing, but looking to the bottom line, is it not the good relationship that Xie has forged in the clan as her daughter?

Without Xie's foresight, how could Yu Youyao maintain a good relationship with Yu now and spare no effort to help Yu Youyao when she needed it?

Earlier, he helped her stumble in the court and delayed Jiazhou Mansion, so that Xie Mansion and her had to successfully evacuate Quanzhou.

Now it has become a "national policy" for her.

There is certainly a reason for this because of Yu Youyao's noble status.

Isn’t it the Yu clan’s attitude towards its people?

Yu Youyao believed deeply: "The refugees now have a backbone and food. Fewer and fewer people will die of starvation. The casualties caused by the riots will also become smaller and smaller. Those who survive will also be smaller." There will be more and more, and the tragedy of hungry people eating each other and exchanging children for food will never happen again, which is really good."

Although the national policy has been implemented, whether the refugees can survive to the three provinces of Liaodong is still a big problem.

The distance to the north from the three provinces of Liaodong is only 700 to 800 miles, and it is only two or three days' journey by horseback. However, the mountains in Liaodong are so steep that the refugees are hungry and rely on only one pair of legs to reach the northern border. Gambling on life.

Two taels of food a day can only guarantee that you will not starve to death. Two taels of food cannot sustain the consumption of a day's walking.

Half a month of procrastination is already fast.

A large number of refugees together are a group of hungry beasts. The fatigue of traveling for a long time can easily cause anxiety and fear. Conflicts are about to break out. Small quarrels and snatchings may lead to large riots. It will cause a lot of casualties, and some people are weak and will die of illness or starvation if they can't hold on.

After the national policy was implemented, she was most worried about these things, but she was far away in Liancheng and was helpless for the moment. She could only do her best and obey fate.

Unexpectedly, someone did what she wanted to do but couldn't.

Yin Huaixi didn't want to mention this anymore, so he got down to business: "Fuzhen and Lianzhen each planned one million acres of sericulture farms. I will leave the best land to you. Each town has fifty Ten thousand acres, the rest will be divided among the soldiers under my name, the individual silkworm farmers in Liancheng, and the merchants from outside."

Fu Town and Lien Town are connected to Laomao Mountain. The size of the oak forest far exceeds 2 million acres. They are not all demarcated because excessive sericulture will destroy the natural advantages and environment of sericulture and deplete the land for fishing.

Two million acres of silkworm farm~IndoMTL.com~ Yu Youyao occupies half of it by himself: "Isn't it too much? Why not transfer part of it from my name to yours? No one stipulates that the vassal king cannot When buying private property, you always have to spend money to buy land, and no one will say that you are using your power for personal gain. If you don’t have time to manage it, I can help."

Every mountain and land in the Zhou Dynasty is owned by the imperial court. The government has the right to sell and buy the land and trees under its rule. Thirty percent of the proceeds from the sale and purchase goes to the government, and 70% goes to the government. If the land needs to be requisitioned by the court one day, the purchase and sale price will be returned to the original price.

This is for unowned land.

If there is an owner of the land, there is no need to go through the court. The buyer and seller negotiate on their own. During the transaction, the court has to pay a certain tax.

Yu Youyao unites with retail investors for win-win cooperation. She cannot eat two million acres of forest land by herself, nor can she eat it.

She is not a local. She can do business, but she cannot cut off the local people's financial resources. If everyone makes money together, and is competitive, the business will not die.

Being too greedy will lead to public outrage.
