Chapter 1642: Prevention is better than prevention
If you let it go on like this, I am afraid that in the future, the hundreds of miles around Jing County will probably be dominated by planting flowers.
When the time comes, every household will be short of food, and that will not be a small problem.
Even if you can buy food, you can rely on it, so what if the price of food rises?
Either the people can't afford to buy food, causing chaos.
Either the grain output has shrunk year by year and has been noticed by the imperial court, you must know that the current imperial court is still based on agriculture, and most of the people in the world will be mixed up after a hard year. If you let the court know that because of the fragrance of red sleeves, the people will not grow food but flowers and plants, and nothing good will be done.
Even if the red sleeves are fragrant and have the support of the queen, I'm afraid it won't work.
If you don't do it, you will become a handle for others to attack the queen.
Other people involved, such as the Du family, such as Wang Yongzhu, and Li Jiushao, may not be able to do well.
Check in the bud!
Therefore, the old couple pondered for a long time and decided to reduce the share of Red Sleeves Tianxiang's production in Jingxian County, and transfer the production base to the capital.
Now that Li Jiushao has the support of the queen behind him, and the queen gave birth to the nine princes, it is not surprising that for at least ten years, the position will be stable.
With the queen here, the red-sleeved fragrance is at the foot of the capital, and no one dares to fight its idea.
What's more, most of the Zhuangzi and mountainous areas near the capital are owned by the eunuchs and nobles, and their Zhuangzi produces a small proportion of grain on weekdays.
If it is used as a flower field, it will not affect the livelihood of the people, but it is very suitable.
What's more, if the red sleeve incense is made near the capital, it is also more convenient and faster to transport it to other places.
It's just that this is the idea of the old couple, and it must be agreed by Wang Yongzhu and them.
They originally planned to send a letter to Wang Yongzhu, but now that Wang Yongzhu is back, it is just right.
Wang Yongzhu heard this, but he didn't speak.
But Mrs. Zhang next to her nodded hurriedly: "You think about it very much, except for those rich families, who have a little land at home, and don't want to produce two more stones of grain, God bless the family if they can eat and dress warmly!" ”
"Although planting flowers and plants can make money, it is only a little filling of life, how can it really be the main business of the family? It's good that the wind and rain are good, but if there is a disaster year, and there is nowhere to buy food with the silver, what can I do? As the old saying goes, if you have food at home, you don't panic! That is, those who have not gone through the disaster year, they are blinded by the idea of money in front of them, and when they encounter that bad year, they will know that it is amazing! ”
As soon as he turned his head, he turned his head and said to Wang Yongzhu: "Girl, you have to be a good student, thank you master and master!" They are planning for you! Otherwise, if something happens, it will be bad-"
Mrs. Zhang has lived for so many years, most of the time, the year is not good or bad, everyone has worked hard for a year, and they are not hungry, that is, God takes care of them.
It is rare to meet the wind and rain in the year, and a few more stones of grain, it is really happy from top to bottom, and at the end of the year, God will be rewarded for opening his eyes.
There have also been disaster years, or floods, or droughts, and I dare not recall those days.
Qilidun leans on the Great Black Mountain, even in a disaster year, by venturing into the mountains to find some food, it can survive.
But she had seen homeless people, groups of homeless people, dragging their families with their families, begging all the way from hundreds of miles away.
They were so hungry that they were skinny, and their eyes could glow green when they saw food.
can sell a teenage yellow flower girl for a few catties of food.
can also be eaten for a bite, fathers, sons, couples and children turn their faces into enemies.
Qilidun is located in a remote area, but the displaced people can rarely go to them.
But in Stone Town, she had seen it before.
The streets and alleys of the town were full of homeless people, lying on the ground, men and women staring blankly and losing their spirits.
The children of the homeless people were either lying dying in their parents' arms, or they saw a kinder, pitiful person begging for food.
If there is a soft-hearted person, who has not taken ten steps, he will be surrounded by other homeless people who rushed to hear the news, and he will not want to get out without shedding a layer of skin.
I even heard that some homeless people were kindly taken in, and they were given some food to live temporarily.
This was a great kindness, but those who broke their conscience, not only did they not appreciate it, but they also had evil intentions and conspired together to kill all the people in that village who had taken them in at night.
After the news spread, every time a homeless person came to the town, they were on guard.
Later, as long as the people of Qilidun heard that the homeless people were coming, the women of the family were not allowed to go to the town.
Several nearby villages have banded together, and each family has sent a strong offspring from their family to set up a card on the mountain road, which is guarded day and night.
Therefore, as soon as she heard what Mrs. Du and his wife said, Mrs. Zhang shuddered when she thought of those days.
If it is true that in the future, the people of Jingxian County will not grow food but go to plant flowers and plants, and there will be no food in the disaster year, what should I do?
Could it be that everyone is begging everywhere as a homeless person?
When the time comes, when the reason is investigated, won't it become the fault of his daughter?
I don't know anything else, but it was said in the play that this kind of person who harms the people, no matter how big or small the official is, will be sent by the emperor to behead him with Shang Fang's sword!
Where can Mrs. Zhang still sit still?
Wang Yongzhu saw that Mrs. Zhang was so worried, so she hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't worry, it's not that serious." ”
"Let's not talk about the method of Master and Master, after shifting the focus to the capital, the demand here will become less, so they will no longer buy the flowers of those people outside, they will naturally eradicate the flowers and plants and plant food."
"Also, my mother forgot, why was I named Mrs. Dingguo?"
Mrs. Zhang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when she remembered that there was also the increase in wheat production.
Over there, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Qi also heard a few words from the letter from the capital, and they were very interested.
grabbed Wang Yongzhu and asked for a long time, and after understanding the situation, he was also relieved.
"Now that we have this way to increase production, it's even better. Next year, when the Sinong side personally tries the planting, it will start to be promoted. At the latest, the year after tomorrow, Jing County should also be promoted, if Sinong will be a man, it will be Jing County's turn the year after tomorrow! ”
"When the time comes, the people of Jing County, the people of Dachu, will be grateful to you!" Mrs. Du was so excited.
Wang Yongzhu hurriedly said: "This is all Your Majesty's credit and grace!" ”
Old Lady Du immediately understood, and hurriedly echoed two sentences, revealing and not mentioning it.
Regarding the decision of Mrs. Du and Mrs. Qi, Wang Yongzhu naturally did not disagree.
It's just that this matter is not easy for them to talk to Li Jiushao and the queen, so it is naturally most appropriate for her to speak.
wrote a letter on the spot, asking people to send it to Li Jiushao without mentioning it.
Because of these delays, I had planned to go back to my old small courtyard after lunch.
However, it was postponed until the evening, and Mrs. Du was still waiting for dinner, but Mrs. Qi stopped her: "Yongzhu, this girl came to see us as soon as she got off the boat, and the family hasn't seen each other yet." They don't have much time to stay, compared to what their families are still looking forward to! ”
Doctor Du gave up.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Du, the group returned to the small courtyard where they had been.
Near the door, the yard was still the same as it was at the beginning, except that the roses in the yard should have climbed out of the wall along the courtyard wall, leaning against the courtyard wall of the alley, full of rose vines.
On the vines, fragrant flowers bloomed, and the breeze blew, and half the street could smell the fragrance.
