Chapter 397 is all my own
Yan Huaiwen looked at the banknotes and cash collected by his younger brother, and was a little silent.
Master Tian watched with a smile as Yan Laoer counted the bank notes and cash, and wrote down the names of officials and employees neatly in the notebook.
Yan Yu is also writing hard.
Sort out the accounts of this turtle trip.
"Your Excellency, you have worked hard." Yan Huaiwen saluted solemnly, not the Shangguan, but the friendship of working for the people.
"Huaiwen is also hard work." Master Tian hurriedly got off the ground and helped Yan Huaiwen up. "Our hearts are all the same. There are no outsiders here. Put those vain gifts aside. These are all the silver taels I have at my disposal right now. Let's figure it out and how to use it to get through This winter, it's best to survive until April and May next year..."
One is his disciple, and the other is his right-hand man, both of them are his own people. Master Tian didn't hold back, and sat directly on the kang.
The old man crossed his legs very neatly, feeling waves of heat rushing up from under his body, and his body became more and more relaxed.
This is Yan Xiangheng's house, and Mr. Tian is temporarily placed here.
In fact, it is not only a kang, Yan Laoer also lit a fire wall, so the house is as warm as spring, the windows can be opened for ventilation, cool breeze blows in, and the temperature is just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
Yan Huaiwen also sat up, and Yan Yu moved inside to make room for the uncle.
Master Tian, Yan Huaiwen and Yan Lao Er sat cross-legged around the kang table.
Yan Yu sat between her uncle and master, facing her father.
"Does your lord have an idea?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
Master Tian pondered for a moment, and said: "If all the money is used to buy food, save some money, it can last for a few months.
However, the weather is very cold in winter, and most of the common people stay at home and have little income. Even if it is just sold to them at a low price, they may not be able to afford it, but if they distribute grain..." Mr. Tian sighed: "The government can't bear it.
The five hundred taels given by the prince are used to build pagodas in various townships. They can be embezzled first, and it will not be too late to start construction in spring. The rest are all borrowed from colleagues. After all, the big mansion is not comparable, and it is not easy to borrow temporarily for turnover. The money has to be repaid. "
What Mr. Tian didn't say was that he issued several IOUs with his signature on them, and he really couldn't refuse the debts, otherwise the reputation of this lifetime would end here.
"The tiger is in the midst of suffering for the common people, and the government can help one or two, but they can't take care of everything." Mr. Tian set the tone.
Yan Huaiwen nodded secretly.
This is the right way.
Blindly giving will only cultivate the inertia of the people.
"I have an idea." Yan Lao Er said.
Master Tian and Yan Huaiwen looked over at the same time.
Yan Laoer cleared his throat and said: "I think so, don't wait until next spring to build towers in our villages, let's start now, let the people move, pay them some wages, it's okay Building bridges, paving roads, digging ditches, digging stones, logging...
Even if it is to build fortifications on the mountain, in short, there is only one purpose, and everyone cannot be idle.
Everyone moves, it’s okay to be slower, let them have work, even if the wages are small, it is an income, an income, then this day will no longer be lifeless and can live.
They have money in their hands, so they must buy grain. Our government stores some grain and sells it to them. We can’t afford it, we have to make some money. There are manual transportation losses and so on. If the price is par, we have to lose money. It's cheap to buy at the grain store.
In this way, the money will still come back to us, we will buy food again, and the cycle will repeat, the people will not be hungry, we will not spend much money, the tower is under construction, and the prince has an explanation. "
Yan Huaiwen's eyes were filled with relief.
It is rare that God Bless can think of this.
Not only can the situation be revitalized, but the common people have the confidence to survive, and the government can afford it.
Master Tian also had smiles in his eyes, and he couldn't stop nodding.
How do you think your own disciples are pleasing to the eye.
"Xiaoer, you come and report the account." Yan Laoer called by name.
Yan Yu immediately moved forward, and quoted the price difference he earned from selling medicine and buying food this time.
It was the first time that Mr. Tian knew about the profits of selling medicine in Xiao'an Village, so he listened very carefully.
Yan Laoer: "This money, you can't keep it in your hands. It won't be less, but it won't be too much. You have to let it move and do some safe and non-compensatory livelihood. The cycle is short, and it's not too much at a time. , It’s not a lot to accumulate.”
He looked at Master Tian and said seriously: "We still have to plan to pay back the money the teacher borrowed."
"I'm afraid Guiyuan's food will not be too much, and it won't last long. Let the people go to the mountains to collect herbs. First, it is not safe, and second, they don't know herbs, so the harvest is very little." Master Tian frowned.
Especially in terms of safety, the wild animals in the mountains are ferocious, and entering the mountains is no joke.
"This season is not a good time to collect herbs. The weather is getting colder and colder, and there will be fewer herbs to be found." Yan Laoer said: "I heard many people in Yongning City say that this year's weather is a bit abnormal. It was too early, and I thought that the charcoal used for heating might be going up.
Let's stock up some charcoal and sell it to Yongning when it's cold, which is also a profit.
There are also cotton, fur... These will probably follow suit. "
Master Tian deeply agreed: "The winter in Guanzhou is long, and things to keep out the cold are always important. God is extremely concerned."
Master Tian and Yan Huaiwen added their thoughts.
You speak, I speak.
The strategy of the tiger squatting through the winter is gradually taking shape.
Yan's second son couldn't hold back, and winked at his daughter.
Yan's second son: What did dad say?
Yan Yu's eyes widened, her small eyebrows trembled and trembled.
Yan Yu: Daddy, you are the best!
Yan's second son received it, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
"My lord, in addition to food, we can import a batch of iron from Xizhou." Yan Huaiwen suggested: "Cotton in Guanzhou has always been in short supply and the price is high. It is better to organize people to go hunting in the mountains to obtain fur to keep out the cold."
Yan Yu winked at her father.
Yan’s second child hurriedly chimed in beside him: “Yes, teacher, if we hunt by ourselves, we don’t need to spend money to buy the leather, and there is also meat, which is more hungry than food.
Xue Zongqi came to our village two days ago and said that the general camp will be moved here, and he will take us to train. After training, we will go hunting together in the mountains.
Oh, isn't this a good thing, let Xue Zongqi send out some people, and bring men from various villages into the mountains, not to mention safety, the people under him are really powerful.
Before he recovered from his injuries, he killed several wolves, as well as deer and roe deer. That’s how the deer leg that Xiaoer brought you came from. "
Yan Huaiwen said softly: "If the bamboo crossbow in the village can be replaced with an iron arrow, it will be more powerful."
The bamboo crossbow has been presented, there is no need to hide it. Huju needs such a simple and easy-to-handle weapon.
Master Tian gave him a deep look: "I also have this plan."
