A poor son 32

The emperor has withdrawn, but the capital city is not in chaos. Not only is there no chaos, but eight direct grain supply points have been set up in each urban area. All of them are affordable grain and have started to be sold.

If you have wealthy laborers at home, no matter men or women, you can come out and get one person. If you take a day's errand, you will get a pound of food.

With this pound of grain, even if a few people in the family drink porridge every day, they will at least not starve to death. If an elderly person without children or an orphan without parents, they can also receive half a pound of grain for free every day.

All of these must be carried out according to the list without any carelessness. If there are people below who dare to cheat and fill their pockets, they have to be careful of the people in the supervision team with red ribbons tied to their arms in the alleys on the streets.

As a person from the supervision team, if such a case occurs and is verified as true, he will be rewarded with two taels of silver.

Therefore, for them, sheltering is simply stupid. Two taels of silver are exchanged for affordable food, which is enough for the whole family to eat for three or two months. Moreover, these people are all laborers drawn by families who cannot afford food. They have been treated unfairly in the past. They are resentful of these behaviors. The Fourth Master arranged for cross-serving positions. Those whose family is in the north of the city will go to the south of the city to serve. There is no need to be afraid of revenge or bondage. For those who dare to take risks and fail to follow the rules of association, they will directly confiscate their property and drive them out of the capital.

On the one hand, the investigation is strictly carried out. On the other hand, the punishment is severe.

So, the entire capital city would become peaceful and stable, and there was no dispute.

Fang Changqing was in charge of the supervision team and was actually a little idle.

After walking on the street, it turned out that the capital city began to become lively again.

Some shops have opened their doors to do business.

"This cowherd is quite capable." Fang Changqing felt sour. However, he said in his heart, "After all, the dignitaries have left, and the capital is half empty. Can the capital still be a capital?"

The Fourth Master was holding the data calculated by Lin Yutong, "It seems that before the beginning of spring, we still have to fill the capital again."

Lin Yutong said: "When the dignitaries are gone, there will be new dignitaries. This is inevitable. But if the capital wants prosperity now, the first is the commodity, all kinds of commodities that meet people's needs, and the second is people, there must be enough people..."

The Fourth Master smiled in a low voice, "Come on one step at a time. It would be a blessing that people didn't starve to death. With this food, the capital will be worry-free. But the most important thing is the spring plowing in the beginning of next spring."

"When the water recedes, they must be encouraged to return home." Lin Yutong said, "The farmland cannot be abandoned."

"The so-called rebels who are in trouble are not calm. No matter how much they give, who dares to return?" The Fourth Master frowned, "But agricultural tools, oxen, seeds, money and grain must be prepared in advance."

Lin Yutong nodded, "What we have now is just to comfort the capital. It is not easy to provide relief to the two provinces."

The two of them gradually became silent.

The Fourth Master used to believe in one sentence, that is, it is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country.

But now that I have realized that such an understanding is actually superficial. People still know that it is hard to cook without rice, let alone to be a broken family like this. What is the most difficult? It is difficult to have no money in your hands and the national treasury is empty? No, it is the most difficult to buy things with you with money and you cannot buy things.

"When I was studying economy, it was said that economic crisis was something that only a politic society had." The Fourth Master shook his head, "But I said that this economic crisis has never stopped. Nowadays, this society is an agricultural economy society, and crop growth has cycles. Therefore, the biggest feature of agricultural society is cycles. Once this cycle is broken, the economic crisis will come and even evolve into a social crisis."

Lin Yutong already knew what the Fourth Master was going to say. The reason why the economic crisis in the agricultural society arises is nothing more than natural disasters, such as wind, fire, lightning, drought and flood, or war and land annexation. If crops cannot grow in the land, there will be no products. So the economic crisis comes.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, emperors have paid attention to farming, which is the reason. This is also a centralized approach to economic development in another sense.

To overcome the crisis, we will calm the war, resume production, and encourage population reproduction. This is to improve the economy.

The two of them had to say something else, and Cheng Feng's voice sounded outside: "Master, madam, the old man is here."

Yin Lao Er?

"Please," said the Fourth Master, and stood up.

Lin Yutong followed the Fourth Master. Before he could greet him, Yin Lao Er lifted the curtain and came in.

"father!"

"Dadfather-in-law!"

The two of them saluted and invited Yin Laoer to sit down. Then Lin Yutong personally served tea.

Yin Laoer was so upset now that he started to meet him one by one. Just saying he was very uncomfortable with the salute.

The study room was full of books. There were stacks of papers, and I didn’t know what it was.

When his son was herding cattle, he knew that his daughter-in-law's grandfather was an old scholar. His daughter-in-law knew that he was a literate person. Therefore, when he married a girl from the Lin family, he said he had made a profit.

But seeing the two of them really look like scholars, he was still a little awkward. He hoped that his son would have a little success, marry a good wife, earn a hundred acres of land, and be the master of the family, and then have two grandsons to support his grandsons to study, become an official in the future, and change his family.

Now looking at him, he felt that his son was in vain.

He has never been a so-called good person, so from the perspective of not being a good person, what his son has done recently is a bit scary.

He can't sleep these days.

"Silang, don't lie to your father. What do you want to do?" Yin Laoer looked at the Fourth Master, with a clear expression of panic.

The Fourth Master pursed his lips, "Dad, you always enjoy your happiness. You will not be able to explain other things clearly for a while..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the hurried footsteps outside. The Fourth Master turned his head and looked out.

Lin Yutong hurriedly walked out and saw Cheng Feng had already come in, "Master, Madam, Commander Hu is here, there is something urgent."

The Fourth Master glanced at Yin Lao Er, and saw that he looked firm and refused to leave without an answer, so he ordered: "Call in."

When Hu Da came in, the Fourth Master was already sitting in the main seat.

"Old Master, please." Hu Da bowed and looked at the Fourth Master with a slight gaze.

The Fourth Master said, "It's okay, tell me. What's wrong?"

Hu Dabun said, "Master, today, Beicheng has sent a group of refugees in as you ordered. But there are a few suspicious people below. But when they are controlled, these people keep saying that they want to see the Fourth Master. They say that they are sent by a young man in white to deliver the letter."

Yin Sanlang!

The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong looked at each other, and Mr. Yin started to shake. His son finally gained a foothold in the capital. If someone knew that he was a brother to the rebels, everything would not be ruined.

"Where is the person?" asked the Fourth Master.

Hu Dabeng knelt down, "Fourth Master, these people seem to have accomplices. Seeing that the people who came in were arrested, the people who did not come in outside the city took the opportunity to run away. I was afraid that they would fall into the hands of the Xishan Camp stationed outside the city..."

He was also frightened at this moment. He didn't dare to think deeply about what the Fourth Master wanted to do. Now, who doesn't know that he is the Fourth Master? After the Fourth Master fell, what can these people get?

"Get up." The Fourth Master waved his hand, "Don't kneel down at any time. If something happens, just find a way to solve it. Such an unexpected situation is inevitable."

Hu Da stood up only then.

The Fourth Master knocked on the table, "In this way, I will disappear from those people. You will go out of the city and press the people outside the city and hand them over to General He. He said that this is a spy who has been infiltrated and asked General He to deal with it."

Hu Da was stunned for a moment, "Master, if you say something..."

The Fourth Master snorted and said, "Then let's talk. Even if you don't say it, General He can live in peace with us? Besides, it is General He's duty to suppress rebels. Guarding the capital is my duty. I'm open-minded and not afraid of any rumors. We should not interfere with General He's suppression of rebellion. Go, the faster the better."

Hu Da then bowed and turned around and left.

Lin Yutong's eyes flashed, "This General He..." As she said that, she looked at the Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master nodded. He just wanted to use General He as a knife.

These days, he was hung with food and grass. He couldn't starve to death if he couldn't eat enough. He had concerns to attack him, but he wanted to withdraw but couldn't bear to leave him. Now, he was almost done.

Yin Laoer couldn't understand the mystery of the couple's fight, but when he thought of Sanlang, he gritted his teeth. This nephew was really in disarray. What did he want to do when he hit someone to the capital? "You can't be like that bastard."

The Fourth Master laughed, "Dad, if my son didn't look like he is now, General He would have tied up our family and threatened Saburo. Sanlang thought about Wang Tu's dominance, and General He thought about the merit of suppressing the rebellion. Who do you think would care about our life and death? So, what do you ask your son to do? The son can only say that this is the same as when we came out of the family, and we were saving our lives. After all, it was to live."

Yin Laoer suddenly fell silent. After a long time, he sighed, "I should really go to our ancestral grave to see where the smoke is coming from. Everyone is amazing. Let's do it! In this world, it's not easy to be able to live. It's even harder to live well. You are not afraid of young people, what am I afraid of? If it really works, then you will be able to go to heaven. If it doesn't work, you can't stand together and die. Anyway, you have enjoyed all the blessings you deserve these days. It's not a loss!"

Lin Yutong was so amused and laughed, "Master-in-law! You go back and rest. It's not enough." As he said that, he called Cheng Feng, "Send the old man back to the backyard."

After everyone left, the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong sighed. Even Yin Lao Er could see his ambitions. What about this capital and this world? Who can’t tell?

But now, it’s not time to show up. You can’t be the target of public criticism.
