Chapter 373 What is the relationship between public and private

Yao Si's intention was probably guessed, but he was still confused. Could it be that this girl was really concerned about the people in dire straits, so she came to offer advice? But since ancient times, those who offered advice only aimed at fame and fortune. According to his views on Yao Si, the latter could never be just a simple concern for the people.

But he didn't say this clearly. Let's listen to Yao Si's thoughts for the time being, and then said: "Miss Yao is okay. As long as it can benefit the people, no matter what method it is, it is worth a try."

Yao Si didn't keep it a secret and said bluntly: "Actually, my method is very simple, just as the saying goes, food, clothing, housing and transportation.

First of all, in terms of the matter of refugees dressing, in addition to the distribution of the imperial court, they can also be collected from households in the capital. Every household has clothes that cannot be worn by them. Poor families will change to smaller ones for the next generation, but those rich and noble families do not wear a lot of clothes.”

Shan Cha's eyebrows jumped slightly, and his eyes flashed with surprise, and then disappeared quickly. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Miss Yao is a good way. Not to mention the slow speed of delivery of clothes in the court, the number of refugees is large, let alone refugees from other towns. Each person can get one piece of clothing at most. If it is donated by the people, the situation will be very different, but..."

"I know what Director Shan is worried about and how to make these people willingly donate."

Shan Cha smiled: "This method of donation has been rarely used by the imperial court since ancient times, but there are food donations, but this donation of clothes..."

"What's wrong with donating clothes? As long as the clothes are clean, the key is whether the people donate or not."

Shan Cha nodded again: "The well-known and well-known big-name households may take out some clothes, but I am afraid that more people will not be happy." Who would be willing to take out their clothes and donate them? Even if they don't wear them, they would be unhappy. If they are not careful, they will also cause public anger.

Yao Si said again: "It is not easy to resettle refugees, and at this time some external pressure will inevitably be needed."

"You mean, the imperial court issued an order to put pressure on it?"

"Only if the court issues an order and draws up a reasonable charter, donating clothes can proceed smoothly. However... only asking for anything but not reward, the people will definitely feel resentful..." Yao Si paused and continued: "I thought it would be possible to build a monument of achievements."

Shan Cha knew it clearly, but hesitated in his heart. The merit stele is an inscription that records personal achievements. The inscription will engrave personal deeds and achievements, and will be passed down as a kind of glory.

Generally, the monuments of merit are individuals who have made significant contributions and sacrifices to the country. So far, Xiye Kingdom has only more than twenty monuments of merit. The monuments of merit were engraved just by donating clothes, which seemed to...

Yao Si observed the color of the whole family, guessed what he thought, and asked, "The chief clerk felt that the mere donation of clothes was not enough to use the merit monument? But this is also to save the people from water and fire. Things are not divided into big or small, and achievements should not be divided into big or small. Moreover, this merit monument of clothes donation can also play a cohesion role in Xiye Kingdom to a certain extent."

Shan Cha knew that Yao Si had not finished speaking yet, and said seriously: "I would like to hear the details."

Yao Si then continued: "The merit monument can record a person's achievements, and of course it can also record the merits of a group of people. There are refugees in each city and town. The court can advocate the construction of a merit monument in one city. Any donor's name will be burned.

In this way, the Monument of Merit is not only the glory of a group of people, but also the glory of a city, and even the glory of the entire Xiye Kingdom. This matter is very beneficial to the court." She looked at Shan Cha with a smile.

Shan Cha couldn't hear anything in her words. For the court, this was an opportunity to show the prosperity of the people of Xiye to the outside world. Let's ask the whole country to build a monument of achievements. It can be seen that the people's customs are pure and it is also a good story for those in power, but everything has two sides.

"In this way, it not only encouraged the people, but also encouraged the local governments, but was afraid that someone would cause trouble in the name of the court." Shan Chadao.

"The detailed charter must be to make a good study with Liao Jingzhao, to calm the refugee affairs and restore order and peace in the capital. This matter has fallen on Liao Jingzhao, so he naturally has to propose this charter."

Shan Cha couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "Miss Yao has posed a big problem for me. If you don't pay attention, you may not be able to protect your head. This is not easy."

"But if the problem cannot be solved, will you still be questioned?" Yao Si asked back. She also knew that the matter of the meritorious monument was not a small matter, but it was indeed a feasible method. It could even solve the refugee problem in other prefectures and counties. It was just a careful plan, but this was not within the scope of her consideration.

Shan Cha took a sip of tea, "Let's let go of the problem of clothing for the time being. Miss Yao also has a clever plan for food and accommodation?"

Yao Si chuckled: "Liu Jingzhao and Shan Zhubu Ding also thought that these refugees were homeless and had no land to plant, and naturally had no rice to eat."

Shan Cha said with a hint: "Indeed, Jingzhao Yin and I have also come up with the only way to let them reclaim wasteland, which can be solved once and for all, but the distant water cannot save the near fire. Now it is summer, and this wasteland cannot be reclaimed in a short while. I missed the spring and autumn seasons of this year, and there will be no rice to eat next year."

In fact, this is also a very difficult place for him and Liao Weizhang. They can't catch up with sowing and have no food for the next year. These refugees still have no food for the next year.

"What if the prince, prince and ministers were allowed to share some of their private fields?"

Shan Cha was obviously stunned and asked them to donate their own private land. This is nothing nonsense.

Yao Si explained: "I am not saying that I donate private land to refugees. Among the Beijing officials, there are countless private land. Most of the land will be rented to others, but there are still many empty fields.

Refugees can rent some land, but they do not collect their tenant silver. The court only needs to distribute crop seeds and let the refugees plant their own plants. After three years, they can collect their tenant silver.

For those high-ranking officials, a few acres of land are not enough for their meal, but this move will save the refugees from the pain of losing rice next year, and will also accumulate good virtues for the ministers."

After hearing this, Shan Cha couldn't help but nodded slightly. What Yao Si said was not without reason. The refugees fled thousands of miles to the capital. The court's intention was to place the main focus. Since resettlement was to be placed, these issues must come up with a long-term solution. Although Yao Si's method did not follow the common sense, it was still a way to maintain long-term security.

"This matter has to be discussed for a long time, and there are many things involved. After Jingzhao Yin returns to the yamen, I will report it to him." His tone has already expressed his importance.

Yao Si nodded with a smile: "It is better to use it. This 'borrowing land' matter may have to be discussed with the Ministry of Revenue. The reclaiming of wasteland must be cooperated with the Ministry of Works. The two adults will have to work hard in the future."

Shan Cha looked at Yao Si with a smile: "Miss Yao had already thought about all this before she came. Since the words had been explained, there was no need to hide it anymore."
