Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 811: ：Holding hands
It's not that Yu Youyao hasn't considered this issue before.
During this period, many refugees flocked to Liancheng. After the imperial court issued a national policy, the number of refugees continued to increase.
Liancheng has little arable land and limited food production. Raising silkworms can be exchanged for food and money, but it also needs to ensure local food production. Whether it can feed so many people, food is in short supply everywhere, and the key is to be self-sufficient.
Yin Huaixi: "Liancheng has three county-level towns under its jurisdiction, Zhuanghe, Fuzhen, and Lianzhen. Liancheng's sericulture is concentrated in Zhuanghe, Fuzhen and Lianzhen are mainly farming, and there is an island county. The residents on the island make a living by fishing, and a large part of Liancheng’s seafood comes from there. Judging from the size of the area, the division of local materials, and the development of agriculture and industry, it is more than enough to resettle 200,000 refugees."
It seems that Liancheng’s development potential is indeed great. Yu Youyao felt relieved: “Liancheng has little arable land, and due to geographical limitations, agriculture cannot develop vigorously. It must focus on sericulture and seafood, but food is the first necessity for the people. , at least to ensure that local food production can be self-sufficient."
Yin Huaixi also knew her concerns and explained: "Raising silkworms is a delicate and tedious job, and not everyone is good at it. At that time, some people will be arranged to open up wasteland to plant sweet potatoes, and some strong people will also be arranged. Go fishing in island counties to make a living. Even so, most people still raise silkworms. Excessive silkworm raising will destroy the mountain forest environment. You should pay more attention to forest planning and maintenance in the future."
Yin Huaixi had a plan in mind, and Yu Youyao didn't ask any more questions: "Maybe in the first two years, because there was no farmland, they left their hometowns, and there was no other way to survive, a large number of people would make a living by raising silkworms."
"In one or two years at most, when the refugees have taken root in Liancheng, they can try to find other ways to survive. Some people who have truly mastered the technology of raising sericulture and profited from it will continue to raise silkworms, and some can only rely on raising silkworms. People who can barely feed their families and fill their stomachs will give up raising silkworms and find another way out."
Moreover, in the Zhuangzi of large families, there are forest rangers who specialize in planning and maintaining the mountain forests. They will regularly patrol the mountains, cut down trees, plant trees, maintain trees, and afforestation to ensure that the forests in the Zhuangzi can develop sustainably and use good-year wood. There has always been a shortage, so this can also prevent the owner's family from suffering losses.
Yin Huaixi nodded: "Well, farming and producing food is the top priority. One more person to open up wasteland means one more person to produce food. Sweet potatoes are cheap work. You can grow them even in wasteland. If you grow sweet potatoes for several years, you can open up wasteland. The ground can also sustain life."
He decided to accept more refugees, not with the money and food of the gentry, but with sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes can survive and feed wasteland.
After two or three years of planting, agriculture in Liaodong has developed.
Yu Youyao thought again that there were more than ten counties and districts in Liaodong that were going to open silkworm farms. Although with the precedent of Liancheng, the subsequent matters would be easier to handle, but she still asked about the situation with concern.
Yin Huaixi took off his outer robe and spread it on the flat ground. He pulled Yu Youyao and sat down: "People have been sent to cut silkworm farms from various places. Among them, the one in Dandong is the largest. I will leave the big head to you, as well as the one in Dandong in the army. Only the generals, local retail investors, and foreign merchants were allowed to get their hands on the rest."
Retail investors are weak and cannot defeat the gentry.
Foreign merchants have strong financial resources, but because they are foreigners and unfamiliar with the place, they will be squeezed out and restricted by the local gentry.
The purpose of introducing foreign merchants is to divide the interests of the gentry. Individual investors and foreign merchants can each benefit from separation, while cooperation can check and balance the local gentry.
The two parties contain each other.
Yu Youyao has become the key to checks and balances. Once any party harms local interests, Yu Youyao can unite with another party and easily deal with the other party.
Yu Youyao immediately understood the key: "Because the drought spread widely, riots broke out in many areas of the Zhou Dynasty, and merchants suffered losses. Since the imperial court issued the national policy, many merchants have poured into Liaodong. It is bound to have a certain impact on the local gentry. The interests of the gentry will inevitably diverge, which will weaken the influence of the gentry on the local area and further weaken the power of the gentry."
The imperial court's national policy was obviously aimed at the gentry, which made businessmen everywhere keenly sense business opportunities.
In addition, under the guard of Yin Huaixi, the northern border still maintained a peaceful scene, creating good development conditions for merchants.
The Northern Territory is taking in refugees on a large scale. The large number of people also represents productivity, which is good for business development.
Only then did she realize the meaning behind the national policy.
I also understand why my grandfather deliberately mentioned this to her, because the experienced businessman had already predicted the huge influence this national policy would have on the entire northern border when he mentioned it to her. Knowing a clear national policy can solve all the problems faced by Yin Huaixi in the north.
Go straight in and hit the target with one strike.
At the same time!
Yu Youyao said excitedly: "What foreign merchants represent is a wider network of contacts, channels, and materials. It is equivalent to introducing external resources into Liaodong. The Liaodong area will not be under the control of the gentry and enter a situation of internal strife. , and then developed into exploiting the people, which is very beneficial to the development of the northern border."
While solving the problem, it will also create good development advantages for the northern border.
Yin Huaixi smiled: That's right. ”
Yu Youyao sighed softly: "Grandpa, you are so awesome!"
Sure enough, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure.
My grandfather did not mention this, because he wanted to train her. When the national policy was completed, she would understand that the series of benefit effects behind one thing would broaden her horizons and mind.
Yin Huaixi deeply agrees.
As a businessman, Mr. Xie knows better than anyone how deep the water between the gentry in the north is, and he understands the things between the gentry all too well.
It is also clear that no inducement or coercion will work to deal with the gentry.
Officials have their official careers, and businessmen have their own business ~ IndoMTL.com ~ There are also thieves and thieves. What connects the gentry and the gentry is always interests, and the word "business" cannot be left to the left.
To untie the bell, you must tie the bell!
Business matters should still be resolved by businessmen.
The imperial court issued a national policy. Although it could temporarily suppress the gentry, it only addressed the symptoms but not the root cause. The significance of the national policy was that it gave other businessmen the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The road down the mountain was too steep, and Yu Youyao did not dare to ride a horse.
"The mountain road is not easy to walk on, so I will hold your hand." Yin Huaixi gently hooked her finger with his little finger. Seeing that Yu Youyao did not move away, he suddenly became more courageous and quickly held Yu Youyao's hand in his.
Yu Youyao's cheeks turned red, and she couldn't help lowering her head and taking a few glances. The two of them clasped their hands together and whispered, "Okay."
I have often held hands, but I have never held them so blatantly. The feeling is completely different. Yin Huaixi's ears are a little red, but he pretends to be calm and says: "It's easier to go up the mountain than to go down. I'm worried that you accidentally fell." ”
