Chapter 153

Jiang Yun blinked and looked at Mr. Su, "Mr. Fan, who used labor for relief, isn't it the story you told me by sir?"

Mr. Su:???

"Did I remember it wrong?" Jiang Yun scratched his head and looked at Jiang Yang, "Is that what Uncle Fourth told me?"

Jiang Yang said uncertainly: "…ah? Yes, me?"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Yun looked distressed, "Then where did I hear the story?"

"Don't worry about where it sounds, let's talk about how he 'work-for-relief' first." Han Zheng said anxiously.

The relief method of labor-for-relief is not uncommon. It is usually the government issued projects such as water conservancy construction.

However, the Yuqing County Government is now poor and the superiors don’t approve money to him, so they have no money to use labor for relief.

He cried to Jiang Yun yesterday, which shows that what Jiang Yun mentioned should not be that simple, so he urgently urged Jiang Yun to explain in detail.

So Jiang Yun cleared his throat and began to tell the story...

When Han Zheng heard that the Fan Gong had held a large-scale event during the disaster year, he was having a banquet outside every day.

But when I heard that the trade in the city was prosperous, the number of trade, diet, craftsmanship and submissive people increased dramatically, Fan Gong persuaded the temples and wealthy families in the city to build a large-scale construction while the wages are low...

Han Zheng and Mr. Su looked at each other and both saw inspiration.

"In the years of famine, the imperial court uses grain to provide disaster relief, which is the worst strategy;

If water conservancy can be developed and labor-for-relief can be used as a central strategy;

It is the best way for Mr. Fan to use stimulating trade to solve the famine."

While amazement, Han Zheng couldn't help but sigh, "Although this move is a good idea, it is not suitable for Yuqing County."

Jiang Yun didn't understand, but Jiang Yang, who often traveled to the wharf, had already understood, "Although Yuqing County is close to the Minzhou wharf, it is rampant due to tigers and bandits. The commerce is not prosperous. No matter how much commerce is encouraged, it will be difficult to feed so many refugees in a short period of time."

Han Zheng didn't expect Jiang Yang to have such insight. He looked at him unexpectedly and nodded, "Besides, it is easy to inspire trade, but not easy to do. Both the right time, place and people are indispensable."

Seeing that Jiang Yun lowered his head and refused to speak, Mr. Su couldn't bear her frustration and said, "Although it is not suitable for Yuqing County, it is indeed a good way. It is impossible to inspire business. Maybe you can try to persuade wealthy families to build a large scale of construction."

Han Zheng nodded, "You can give it a try."

...

After leaving Mr. Su's yard, Jiang Yun did not say a word along the way.

Until outside the dry goods processing workshop, Jiang Yang couldn't help but comfort him: "Yun Niang, don't be sad, you have done a good job. You just don't know much about the situation in Yuqing County. When you look back, you can go to the docks with me.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             �

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Yang with shiny eyes, "Really?! Uncle Fourth, this is what you said by yourself! Don't regret it."

Jiang Yang:...

"Are you cheating me?"

"Of course not, I'm thinking about things." Jiang Yun said as he pulled Jiang Yang with an excited look on his face and went straight to Zhang Liang's yard.

The two sat on the ground in the shade under the corridor. Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Yang with a gaze and said, "Uncle Fourth, our family has to save 200 taels of silver now, right?"

“It should be.”

Although my mother collects all the money, they settle all the accounts, and the remaining money in the family cannot be hidden from them.

Jiang Yang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Yun, "You don't want to use it to help refugees, do you? Don't even think about it, my mother won't agree!"

"Of course I know." Although she wanted to help the refugees, she never thought of giving relief to her family.

The money at home is earned by the whole family with great effort, and is the capital for the family to settle down.

What she wants to do is to make money!

"Then what do you want to do? The family wants to use this money to build a house. I have been waiting for it for a long time, so don't think about anything else."

The construction of a house was mentioned before the New Year. Although some days were delayed due to the bandits after the New Year, the villagers have helped these days, and the land has been measured, and the rocks, muds and tiles are basically ready to stop working. They can only start digging the foundation after the summer harvest in the village.

Jiang Yang looked at Jiang Yun with a vigilant look on his face.

It would be no small matter to make Jiang Yun worry about the savings at home. And it would be a big deal if she mentioned it at this time, it must be related to the refugees.

Thinking that after the house was built, everyone could have their own house, Jiang Yun couldn't help but shake it, but after just shook it for a while, Jiang Yun said: "The house is to be built, but I think it can be slowed down."

Jiang Yang said inexplicably: "Why? Isn't it just right to build it at this time? Anyway, the villagers are very busy. If they build a house now, they can find some refugees to work and help a few people."

Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Yang seriously, "Since you can ask refugees to help, why not expand our dry goods processing workshop?"

When Jiang Yang heard that Jiang Yun was making this idea, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and leaned lazily on the pillar, "Don't think about this."

He said this not because the workshop business was not good.

In fact, the workshop business is very good now.

Since taking several orders from the Financial Manager, their useful information has become famous at the Minzhou Wharf.

Almost all the fleets that often traveled at the Minzhou Wharf had ordered orders with him.

Some were taken to other places for purchase and sale, while others were taken to the boat for food and food.

Although each caravan doesn’t want much, there are so many caravans that cannot withstand the number of caravans coming and going between Minzhou!

Minzhou is not like their Yuqing County. Minzhou is a big city in the south, and there are many caravans coming and going.

Each caravan needs a little, and it will be very impressive if it accumulates a little.

Every time I go to the wharf and collect a batch of orders, the whole village is busy for a long time before I can deliver it.

Even the nearby villages had no time to go to the house, and they all raised the prices and asked them to come to their door.

In this way, sometimes there are times when there is no offering.

When they built the workshop, they didn’t expect the dry goods to be sold so well. Now the workshops almost never stop from morning to night.

The reason why I disagree with the expansion is that even if it is expanded, the villagers will not be busy.

You can’t throw away all the land and don’t plant it just to sell the goods, right?

Jiang Yun had already thought about it: "If there is no one, then hire someone."

Jiang Yang reacted now and sat up slightly, "You mean, those refugees?!"

Jiang Yun nodded excitedly, "Didn't Mr. Han say that he was going to let the refugees open up land and farm and get them into Yuqing County's household registration? Then why can't we come to our village? It just so happened that our workshop was short of people!"

To be honest, Jiang Yang was a little moved.

Although some people in other villages collect dry goods to sell, they are all scattered and are definitely not as large as them, and their quality is not as good as them.

Some caravans that have quality requirements would rather not buy than buy bulk goods. If they can expand production...

Hum? No, I almost got wrapped in.

Jiang Yang shook his head and woke up a lot, "Even if there are people, there must be goods. The mushrooms grown in the village will not be harvested until the end of the year, and the bamboo shoots in the mountains are not endless."

"Then expand the variety. The apricots, plums and olives in the mountains can be marinated and dried for snacks. There is also jerky. The jerky made last night was a bit thicker, but the taste was good. It should be better if you improve it slightly.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are sweet potatoes. Dried sweet potatoes are also delicious and easy to make."

Jiang Yang:...
