Chapter 33 Lobbying Cui Fuyin to give land

Author: Soy Sauce Xuanzhu

"Master Cui, I won't beat around the bush. You have been a parent official for so many years, don't you think we have a problem in Taihe City right now?"

"Uh...what do you mean, princess?" Cui Fuyin said to him with some guilt.

"There are four main cities in Taihe Prefecture, with a total of 1.2 million people, but among them there are 800,000 people living in slums. These people are not engaged in production and produce huge consumption every day. King Rao Shizhang has gold and silver, and he also has a lot of money.

It’s a terrible day, and from a long-term perspective, if the king withdraws benefits from slums one day, what will these people do?”

"The king actually wants to give Taihe people a buffer time. After all, they have just experienced the destruction of the country and the smoke of gunfire..."

"It's been five years. How many years do you want King Zhang to take to sort it out? As far as I know, it only took Tingliang Prefecture one year to basically return to normal, including the mighty Shanhu Prefecture, which only took two years. We

What? Five years later, the people are still like giant babies, and there are bandits looking around outside.

When rescue becomes a matter of course, when banditry is rampant and is accepted as acquiescence, Taihe City will be completely ruined.

You don’t think about how to improve people’s livelihood and reverse the situation, you only care about growing your own vegetables in the backyard and living your own life. Can you feel at ease with the imperial salary?”

"I..." A hint of helplessness flashed through Cui Fuyin's turbid eyes: "I also want to make a difference, but I am too old to do what I want. Furthermore, although I am the parent of the people, I am not the biggest here. I also obey orders.

I have to do something, madam, I’ll forgive you.”

Cui Fuyin easily placed all the blame on Xiao Jiuxi.

No matter whether he works hard or fishes in troubled waters, in the end he still has to listen to King Chang. In this case, it is better to listen to King Chang from the beginning. He will be old enough to return to his hometown in a few years. He will not ask for anything during this time.

As for political performance, just make sure there are no mistakes.

Li Yewu saw through Cui Fuyin's plan at a glance and couldn't help but said: "I also know that you are old and unable to do what you want, and I don't want you to work too hard, so I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. You only need to approve these 30,000 acres of land."

Give it to me and I'll take care of the rest."

“What do you want all these fields for?”

"Of course it's farming. Aren't we short of food?" Li Yewu answered matter-of-factly.

Cui Fuyin looked at Li Yewu for a long time, never thinking that this girl actually cared about the people, and he always felt that the girl looked more and more familiar.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask the question in his mind.

"I would like to ask, have my wife and I ever met?"

"?"

Li Yewu Zhengxiao persuaded Cui Fuyin to ask for the land with emotion and reason, but he suddenly came to recognize his relatives.

Have they met?

You must have never seen it before.

However, I don’t know if the original owner has ever met him.

Li Yewu quickly thought through his mind and made sure that this person had not appeared in the memory of the original owner before shaking his head: "I probably haven't seen him before..."

"Really? I always feel that what Madam said just now is very similar to that of an old friend of mine."

Cui Fuyin showed a slightly nostalgic look.

"Old friend? Who is your old friend?"

"My mentor, but he died of illness many years ago, so I won't mention his name." Cui Fuyin said with some emotion: "It's rare that Madam and my mentor have similar views, so it's not a bad idea to hand over these 30,000 acres of land to Madam.

But before that, I still want to remind my wife that the biggest reason why Taihe City is like this is not the prince's connivance, but the people's hearts are dead, rotten, and eliminated.

Even if you put up a notice for renting out land, no one will respond, it will just be a hard job."

"How will you know if you don't try? It all depends on man-made efforts."

"In this case, the land will be handed over to the lady, and there will be no restrictions except for buying and selling it."

"OK!"

In this way, Li Yewu obtained the government's 30,000 acres of land from Cui Fuyin.

As a result, she owns 60,000 acres of land.

Li Yewu has calculated that according to modern standards, each person eats about 400-500 kilograms of grain per year.

However, materials were scarce in ancient times, and each person could eat about 200 kilograms of grain per year. Of course, this was the amount including chickens, ducks, fish eggs and other foods.

It may not seem like much, but 800,000 people each receive 200 kilograms of grain per year, and the total is 160 million kilograms of grain.

It means that Xiao Jiuxi has helped Taihe Prefecture advance the cost of 800 million kilograms of grain over the years.

Of course, such a large amount of money is more than eight million, and such a huge amount of food cannot be managed by the four major families. In fact, in addition to the four major families, Li Yewu discovered that Tingliangzhou has also been silently giving Xiao Jiuxi these years.

Send food.

No wonder Xiao Jiuxi is willing to die for Xiao Heng. The lover's family has been helping Xiao Jiuxi.

Li Yewu took a break and lamented the rare brotherly love in the royal family, and then quickly returned to his plan.

As long as she distributes all 60,000 acres of farmland and uses modern methods to cultivate eugenics and excellent grains, the grain output per mu can be about 1,000 kilograms, and 60,000 acres is equivalent to 60 million kilograms.

Of course, Taihe City also has another advantage. The rivers, lakes and sea systems here are developed, so it is possible to achieve two harvests a year.

In this way, 60,000 acres of fields can produce 120 million kilograms of grain in two seasons a year.

If the fields in the four counties of Taihe Prefecture are also developed, the food problem of Taihe City can be basically solved.

Of course, this is only the most ideal situation.

In the early stage, you still have to rely on buying food from other places to make ends meet. After all, growing food takes time, and it’s not known how many people are willing to return to the fields.

But Li Yewu was not in a hurry.

Infrastructure construction is not accomplished in a day, just like building blocks, it must start from the foundation bit by bit.



After obtaining the right to use the land, Li Yewu went home with twenty bodyguards and went non-stop to inspect the fertile land.

These fertile fields are all located on the outskirts of Taihe City and are within the jurisdiction of Taihe City. However, there are many refugees digging wild vegetables outside at this time.

If the past style were followed, when refugees saw Li Yewu, they would be like seeing a walking silver coin, and they would rush towards her begging like crazy.

But now, there is a rare hint of fear and apprehension in everyone's eyes.

Li Yewu didn't expect that the original scene would be valid for such a long time, and these people are still jealous of her.

The story starts from the day when Eunuch Qian left...

After Eunuch Qian left that day, these people spontaneously thought that the government was preparing to distribute benefits, and they surrounded the gate of Fuyin Mansion early.

More and more people gathered on the street, and the sun became stronger and stronger, but from noon to nightfall, the governor showed no intention of opening the door to release food.

Everyone couldn't help but complained.

It wasn't until very late that a police officer came out and told everyone that they had not received the notice to release food, and asked everyone to disperse.

Of course everyone is not willing to give in!

The wealth officials from the capital are all here, and they still say there is no food?

In the past, every time after the God of Wealth left, Fu Yin would more or less provide food!

I received a suggestion from a reader that the word "shang" can only be used by dead people. I quickly checked and found out that it was true. So now Xiao Jiuxi changed the name of "Shang Wang" to "Zhang Wang", but after the modification, only the main site will succeed.

Other channels cannot be synchronized, so I would like to explain it here. Our wine cup king has been changed to this wine cup, which means a container for wine. It just fits his special nature of hoarding treasures.
