Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 808: ：Emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business

Yin Huaixi shook his head: "Raising silkworms is very complicated, and I don't have the energy to bother with it. One million acres is not much. The retail households in Liancheng have been oppressed by the four big families for many years, and their money and food are limited. In recent years, there has been a severe drought in the north. The Liaodong area has also been affected to some extent. There will not be many people who are able and willing to take risks to buy forests and expand sericulture."

"The lieutenant generals in the army are suffering from the cold and have limited money in their hands. Their ability to purchase capital is not very high. Although this million acres is a lot, only you have the financial resources to eat it. Only you can guarantee that after buying the forest land, Can resettle refugees."

The refugees are unable to purchase land to raise sericulture. In order to ensure that the refugees can be well resettled, Yu Youyao must have an absolute say in the sericulture industry in Liancheng, so there cannot be too few sericulture farms under her name. Each of the four families controls nearly four to five million acres of sericulture.

Yu Youyao nodded: "Okay, I will discuss the purchase of silkworm eggs with the retail investors. The victims will raise silkworms in my silkworm farm. 30% of the harvested cocoons will belong to themselves, and 70% will belong to me. I will buy them at the market price. Thirty percent of their cocoons can be exchanged for silver or grain. Regarding the relevant contract, after the refugees settle down in Fuzhen and Liian Town, I will make a contract with them on a family basis, and distribute an appropriate amount of money according to the population of each family. Silkworm eggs."

This was decided after careful consideration and discussion with the two stewards of Silkworm Village under her name.

The northern border has taken in a large number of refugees, and some of them will be arranged to open up wasteland and grow sweet potatoes in sparsely populated areas.

Some refugees will be resettled in places suitable for sericulture in Liaodong to raise sericulture.

The price of tussah silkworms is higher than that of mulberry silkworms, and the profit is very considerable. She cannot let the profit of raising silkworms be higher than that of farming. Otherwise, everyone in the three provinces of Liaodong raises silkworms and no one cultivates the fields to produce food. She will have to buy food from outside and cannot be self-sufficient. If you are self-sufficient, you will be controlled by others. Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, the people will have no choice but to wait for death.

The profit from sericulture must be equal to the profit from farming.

Sericulture and farming are mutually reinforcing, and only then can the northern border develop.

It is a national policy to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and we must nip the seeds in the bud from the beginning.

Thirty percent silk is already a lot.

Xie Jingliu looked deeply at Yu Youyao: "There have been several famines recorded in history. The most serious one affected nearly a dozen areas. More than 10 million people starved to death, and more than 20 million victims fled to the In other places, the consequences are not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters."

"The imperial court at that time was very corrupt. The civil society organized a large-scale uprising, broke away from the imperial court and established a political power. The struggle between the two parties lasted for more than 20 years, affecting the whole country and causing fatal consequences to the agriculture at that time. A blow."

"The people could not rest and cultivate the land. In order to suppress the uprising, the imperial court expropriated grains. In order to fight against the imperial court, the insurrectionary army also requisitioned grains from the people. The people had no money and no food. When the disaster came, they could only wait to die."

This little cousin of his has a mind and vision that are extraordinary for ordinary people.

Xie Jingliu looked proud.

Yu Youyao nodded: "This time the severe drought in the north is far less serious than the famine recorded in history, but even so, there are tens of millions of victims in the entire northern border, and the number of refugees fleeing the famine has reached four to five million. After all, it is The huge power of business gangs in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu has inhibited agricultural development, resulting in low productivity in the northern border and a decrease in grain production year by year."

She also learned a lesson. No matter what way to make money, she must create favorable conditions for agriculture.

Yin Huaixi smiled and nodded: "It's up to you."

Yu Youyao frowned: "It's already mid-February. I heard from retail investors who raise silkworms that in previous years, silkworm eggs have already started hatching at this time. It's also because the weather is colder this year that the time has been postponed. But The hatching of silkworm eggs will begin by the end of the month at the latest, so the resettlement of the refugees must be completed as soon as possible, so as not to delay the spring silkworms this season."

Yin Huaixi: "Don't worry. The basic defense work can be completed in half a month at most. It does not conflict with sericulture. Mr. Li came to see me yesterday. The four major families in Liancheng came forward and donated a batch of money together with local wealthy households. Money, food, tents and other materials are provided to support the resettlement of the refugees."

Master Li first brought the donation list and the account book. In about ten days at most, everything recorded in the account book will be in place one by one.

Yu Youyao thought thoughtfully: "That's fine. The refugees will live in tents first. The tussahs are raised on the trees. There is no need to build a separate silkworm farm. As for the construction of the silkworm farm, we will find craftsmen in the future and build it slowly. It won't be a problem." ." At this point, she smiled again: "There are also many people among the refugees who know how to do mud brick fortifications. We can ask them to do the fortifications on the silkworm farm."

She can only help resettle the refugees. How they settle down in a foreign land and resettle their homes depends on them.

It seems that the refugees can be resettled in half a month at most. Yu Youyao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "The four families are not ambiguous."

Yin Huaixi smiled half-heartedly: "After all, we are a family with deep roots in the local area. Our desire for profit is true, but we are not really stupid."

Just as he was talking, Xia Tao came over, bowed to Yin Huaixi and Xie Jingfa, and then said: "Miss, Mr. Li sent someone to deliver a generous gift specially prepared for the lady by the four families."

Yu Youyao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she realized that this was the desire of the four families to survive.

The four great families were relatively well-informed, and they took the initiative to donate money, materials, and food just after the national policy was promulgated. Compared with the great gentry who dominated the mountains, Shaanxi, and Gansu, the four great families were nothing, and Yin Huaixi had no plans to do so. Take action against them.

Yu Youyao smiled: "It seems that if you don't accept this "thousand gift", it will make people worried and uneasy." She turned to look at Xia Tao: "Just accept it, please tell Mr. Li a message Give it to the four families. From now on, the refugees will settle down and live in Liancheng. Please take care of them."

Whether you take care of it or not is a secondary matter~IndoMTL.com~This story is just to slap the four people, don’t even think about fooling them for a while, and it is also to reassure the four people.

Xia Tao responded and left the courtyard.

As for how the four people reacted after hearing this, Yu Youyao didn't care.

Yin Huaixi chuckled softly: "I have been busy patrolling the border during this period. You have been in Liancheng for about ten days, and I have never had the chance to walk around with you. The weather has warmed up in the past few days, and the spring is just right. I plan to do it tomorrow I'm going to visit Fuzhen and Liian Town. They are connected to Lao Mao Mountain and the scenery is pretty good. Do you want to go and have a look?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Jingliu who was standing aside, and felt relieved when he saw that Xie Jingliu had no objection.

Yu Youyao is a little moved. There has been a custom of youth outings in all dynasties. Yu Youyao is the eldest daughter of a widowed woman and avoids more taboos than others. Her stepmother is in charge of the family, but she has never participated in it.

It's just that the news about her being in Liancheng has spread. It seems that many people are staring at the inn, and there must be a lot of inconveniences in traveling.
