Chapter 19 Fighting the Economic War with Yan Song
To Yang Mo's expectations, in the half month after Li Xiuning left Taiyuan, Zhao Hong not only did not make things difficult for him, but instead became abnormal.
Even after discussing government affairs on a daily basis, he would take the initiative to invite himself to the mansion to attend a banquet.
Yang Mo naturally declined everything, but muttered in his heart.
When he went to the palace to talk to Mrs. Wang about this, Mrs. Wang asked about the cause and effect.
Yang Mo naturally explained the recent process in the government office in detail: Zhao Hong, Yang Mo and others discussed government affairs. Because Yang Mo was not familiar with it and had a learning attitude, he often listened more and said less.
It was said to be a discussion, but it was more like Zhao Hong and others discussing, and Yang Mo was watching.
After discussing a plan, Zhao Hong smiled and poured Yang Mo a cup of tea, saying that he had to be a compliment for Mr. Yang to do the most careless compliments, and then Yang Mo went to implement it.
After listening, Mrs. Wang told Yang Mo disapprovingly that she was planning to take the blame, so of course she had to be polite to you.
Immediately afterwards, it was said that there were more and more refugees in Taiyuan City. Although there was enough food, these foods were all military rations.
When Li Xiuning was there, she was the top military and political leader of the Li family and could be fully responsible for the distribution of food.
What happened was naturally her carrying it.
But he is the eldest daughter of the Li family and the one who stayed in Taiyuan with Li Yuan, so it’s okay to have a huge blame.
But now that Li Xiuning has left, the food is put out as usual, so who will sign it?
Yang Mo said he signed the letter, and Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "See, these feudal dynasty officials had the first idea before doing things, but if they failed, who should take the blame."
"Needless to say, I must have lost it."
Yang Mo also laughed, but he was a little helpless. In official politics, he was really immature like a three-year-old child compared to Zhao Hong.
"If you take the blame, take the blame. It can be considered as a way to learn from one's mistakes. The most important thing is that the disaster victims can have enough food."
Mrs. Wang also nodded: "But Zhao Hong's level is here. Even if the Li family takes over the world from now on, he will be a magistrate."
"With the Wang family to support you, you don't need to take the blame, but you have to learn from this."
Mrs. Wang seemed to have trained Yang Mo as a disciple, and she was instilled with the crystallization of wisdom of fighting wits and courage with officials like Northern Sui Dynasty.
"Madam, there is something I have never understood. I want to ask for advice."
"But it's okay."
So Yang Mo expressed the doubts about why so many disaster victims did not use labor for relief, but instead supported them.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang shook her head repeatedly, and told Yang Mo with a slight reprimanding tone that she should not take it too much and think that she could apply it to reality by knowing how to call the noun.
Now, treating disaster victims, three bowls of porridge per person a day, and the food consumption is so scary.
Let them work? Three bowls of rice per person a day. Where does the extra grain come from?
Although there is a lot of food in Taiyuan, it cannot be afforded if all rice is offered.
Then what work to do?
Is it an official project or a private project? Which government project is required to do?
Although Taiyuan is not as good as Chang'an, there are still many yamen under the management of the Li family.
Even if every yamen has a job, will these officials give them money?
It’s a very realistic thing, work-for-relief, who do you ask to manage the victims?
If you ask the major yamen to go and give them money? If you don’t give them more money, they will definitely not be happy.
It’s okay if you are unhappy. If you deliberately indulge the victims in trouble, who will be responsible for the trouble?
Let’s talk about the victims. If these victims are full, who can guarantee that they will not cause trouble?
In the previous life, the Yuan Dynasty was famine, which was to build the Yellow River with work instead of relief. As a result, it became a peasant uprising, which directly stepped on the accelerating accelerator for the demise of the Yuan Dynasty.
Finally, there are the gentry families in Taiyuan. Once labor is used for relief, the gentry families will definitely come together.
Even if they don't get together, the government will have to pull them.
Many things will happen when these people come in, such as some families not only provide food, but also provide accommodation and wages.
It looks good, and the victims will definitely flock to the top and there will be inversion.
At this time, the land where these gentry of aristocratic families did evil came, and they were trafficked by humans, and signed contracts for tenants at extremely low prices.
No one of the victims would consider what to do in the future. The only thing they thought was to live in front of them.
What should I do if these problems arise?
Who cares?
All the servants in each yamen are managing the disaster victims' projects, and they have no extra power to manage these things.
Furthermore, even if the servants have free time, it would be nice if they didn't collude with these people. How could they care about these matters?
The most important thing is that human trafficking is legal in the Northern Sui Dynasty: Of course, direct human trafficking is illegal, but in disguise, such as buying maids and servants from wealthy families, these are legal.
Mrs. Wang placed one by one in front of Yang Mo.
Yang Mo, who originally thought it was easy to use labor for relief, stared at him.
No wonder Li Xiuning rejected herself politely.
When he thought of the way he had been swearing to Li Xiuning to build a road, Yang Mo was so embarrassed that he could only drink water to cover it up.
There are still a lot of things I have to learn in government affairs.
But after thinking about it again, I suddenly discovered the solution to these problems.
He picked up the freshly burned glass from the side - with the participation of the Wang family craftsmen, the glass development was very successful.
Because before that, when Mrs. Wang first came to this world, she tried burning glass, but she tried it many times but failed.
Yang Mo said the process flow in his memory, and Mrs. Wang suddenly realized that a pair of glass products that had already been burned out were produced.
"Madam, as you say, you need food if you want to work for relief."
Yang Mo picked up the teacup and put it on the table instead of the food: "Yes, but all the victims cannot be involved."
“It takes money.”
Yang Mo picked up the glass again.
"Yes, but it's not the root cause."
He put the glass and tea cup together: "Then can this be used as a labor-for-relief?"
"Yes, this is what I want to tell you."
After Mrs. Wang said that, she took out a stack of contracts from her arms and placed them on the table: "We not only have to stand and make money, but also to break the dream of Yan Song's old thief Yan Song's dream of making money by relying on glass."
Yang Mo picked up the contracts in confusion and looked at them. They were all handprints of the gentry from major families in Taiyuan.
The content of the contract is also very simple, and we jointly set up a glass factory.
"Madam, is this?"
"He wants to make money, and we can make money too. He wants to make glass more high-end, so we can make glass a bargain."
Mrs. Wang took out another book and said, "This is something I want to do over the years but haven't done. Liberal arts students, if you suffer a loss, you will suffer this. I know that time travelers can make money by burning glass, but they just can't burn it..."
Yang Mo took it over and flipped it over again, looking shocked. Mrs. Wang wanted to do a lot, almost wanting to move the entire industrial system in her previous life.
It’s a pity that none of them were finished, all of them were semi-finished products - semi-finished products were not considered as, at most they were just an idea.
