In the backyard of Danyang County Prince's Mansion, Danyang County Prince poured Yunze a glass of wine with a smile on his face. He had heard about everything that happened today, but he did not expect that Yunze had such means.
Not only was Marquis Wu An forced to do nothing, but he also subdued a group of merchants and willingly donated nearly three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Although this money is a drop in the bucket for tens of thousands of disaster victims, if it can be used properly, it can still last for a while.
"Ozawa, what are you going to do next! Although there are only more than 10,000 victims of the disaster now, according to the disaster reports from various states, there are almost one million people affected by the disaster this time, and there are over 100,000 casualties. Even so. Not all of them fled to Danyang Mansion. It is estimated that the number of victims who escaped is at least a hundred thousand, or even more."
"The number of people in Danyang Mansion is only 300,000, and including the surrounding villages and towns, there are less than 500,000. If 100,000 victims fled here, it would be a huge pressure on Danyang City."
Prince Danyang looked a little solemn, and his prediction of the disaster was still wrong. Even if Yunze has 300,000 silver in hand now, if he doesn't make good use of it, he might...
"Uncle, my nephew came here just for this matter. I wonder if my uncle's fiefdom outside the city can be leased to my nephew. I want to use your fiefdom to resettle the victims! My idea is this..."
Yunze smiled slightly at Song Rui, Prince of Danyang County, and told the purpose of his trip and his thoughts.
His idea is actually very simple, which is to use the territory of Prince Danyang to place all the victims there. Of course, it will not be in vain.
He wanted to build many workshops in Prince Danyang's territory. This is why he dared to promise those merchants that his goods could be sold.
If Yunze slowly develops on his own, it will probably take until the Year of the Monkey to achieve these goals. No matter how fast the speed is, it will probably take several years.
Not to mention production issues, sales issues alone can cost Yunze a lot of time. After all, the power of one person is limited, but the power of everyone together is endless.
Upon hearing Yunze's plan, Prince Danyang's eyes widened and he looked at Yunze with disbelief.
In the past, the resettlement of disaster victims was all about building some shacks for the victims and then providing porridge regularly. Hold on until the disaster has passed, and then drive the victims back to their original places.
Don't dare to turn it into a drought, flood or locust plague... Because of this, the court is under great pressure, and the expenditure of money and food is even more difficult for the court's treasury to bear.
But Yunze was able to come up with such a perfect way to work directly for the victims. Almost all men, women and children can do these jobs. Doing more and doing less is one thing.
At least, these disaster victims don't have to go hungry or have nothing to do.
If the victims were left to eat and wait to die, it would be fine if the court had the financial resources. Without that financial resources, there is no telling how many people would starve to death. There may even be incidents of rebellion.
But Yunze's idea blocked all possibilities. Well, if Yunze's method goes smoothly.
It is simply the most perfect way to resettle disaster victims.
It's a pity that no one in Chaoting can do this because they can't think of a way to feed these victims.
For example, if the disaster victims are allowed to work, the court itself does not have a workshop. In fact, the merchants have workshops, but they are full. It’s impossible to ask for it again.
But the workshops Yunze mentioned can be used by almost anyone. Now that Yunze has become the president of the Danyang Chamber of Commerce, he doesn't have to worry about the sales of his things.
Not to mention, those things of his are all rare and can definitely cause a sensation in the entire Jing Dynasty.
"Except for those fields where there are tenants, the rest of my fief is basically abandoned. You can use it however you want. I will ask Song Ren to issue a document for you. However, if you want to use those fields , we must ensure the interests of the tenants. Not only must they be compensated, but your workshop must also accommodate them. Don’t let them lose their livelihood to support their families.”
Prince Danyang smiled and waved his hand. At the end of his speech, he looked a little serious.
Hearing this, Yunze couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the Prince of Danyang County. Although he is a prince, what he thinks about most is the livelihood of the people under his rule.
With such a good master, the tenants under Prince Danyang are really happy. At least they will not be exploited.
"Don't worry, uncle, your kindness will not be corrupted by your nephew!" Yunze smiled at Song Rui.
"Well, that's good! If you have any difficulties, go to Song Ren. If Song Ren can't solve it, you can also go to your father-in-law Luo Xuan. He should be happy to help you!"
Prince Danyang smiled teasingly. Yunze blushed for a while and didn't know how to respond.
"Sigh... It's a pity that my daughter is so arrogant and arrogant. She is already twenty years old and has yet to find the one she likes. Otherwise, I would have become my father-in-law a long time ago! If you have time, I will let you meet, or maybe you are destined. , maybe!”
Prince Danyang looked at Yunze with a smile, and there was a look in his smile that made Yunze stunned.
This is obviously an attempt to match him with his daughter.
Yunze's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't know how to respond. In fact, having Luo Qingcen now gave him a headache. If there was another princess, he would have a headache. He didn't even know how to explain to Luo Yanniang,
However, having said that, Prince Danyang's daughter is arrogant and arrogant, so there is no way she would like him, a former playboy and prodigal son. I'm afraid he is worrying too much!
"Uncle...we will meet each other if we are destined! Well, my nephew has something to do, so he will leave first!" He stood up and said goodbye with some despair.
It was really difficult for him to answer this. He said that he was not worthy of the princess. This was a slap in the face of the princess. She obviously wanted him to set eyes on his daughter. Isn’t this a devil’s advocate!
Moreover, saying this will alienate the two people who are already close to each other. As for saying that he wanted to meet him, the prince would probably think that Yunze was a person who forgot his true love.
Looking at Yunze's leaving figure, Prince Danyang nodded.
"Yeah! You have a calm mind, neither impetuous nor impatient! I'm not wrong about you! What a pity..."
"Your Majesty, how do you say this... Could it be that Your Majesty was testing him just now!" Song Ren, who was behind him, said at this time.
"That's right. I actually want to see if this kid wants to get rich and powerful. After all, I am a prince and the left prime minister."
"Actually, as early as he rejected Luo Xuan and refused to become an official in the court, I should not have tested him again!"
"However, I still want to see what his character is like. Speaking of which, if Han'er meets him...forget it...let's not talk about it. You go to the fief with him in person. If he needs help, you can help him. help him."
Prince Danyang waved to Song Ren.
Song Ren nodded and said yes, and then left after Yunze.
Prince Danyang burst into laughter at this moment. He didn't know why he accidentally tested Yunze when he mentioned Luo Xuan.
Maybe, in his heart, he actually hopes that his daughter can have something with Yunze. Because of this, he wanted to know more about Yunze's character.
Fortunately, Yunze did not disappoint him. Withstood the test again. Even if one day his daughter really falls in love with Yunze, he will never stop her.
As for Yunze having a wife, to his concept as a man born in ancient times, having three wives and four concubines was nothing. As long as his daughter is willing and as long as Yunze will be good to his daughter, nothing else matters!
It was still not the end of time when Yunze left the Prince's Mansion. He rushed outside the city non-stop, wanting to see the current situation outside the city.
The Prince of Danyang County has written an order of appointment to Yunze. All matters related to the victims will be left to Yunze to handle. Even people from the government can be called upon by him.
After all, although Yunze's official position was not stated in the appointment order, with the prime minister's seal, no one in Danyang Mansion dared to disobey him.
Song Ren came out with him to protect Yunze. Prince Danyang also assigned ten princes to escort Yunze.
When the group of people rushed outside the city, Luo Xuan was commanding the city guards to build shacks. Simple shacks made of wood. It was just covered with a layer of oilcloth.
There are city guards guarding the city gate, and it is impossible to enter the city without a road guide.
At this time, there were nearly ten thousand people outside the city, and many disaster victims were coming here one after another from a distance. In the open space in front of the city gate, people from the government were giving porridge.
However, the porridge is very thin, and it is estimated that even if you drink a few bowls, it will not fill your stomach. However, on the other side, there were many people handing out steamed buns.
Yunze saw Luo Yuniang, Luo Yunxi and Su Qianmo distributing steamed buns. Even Luo Qingcen and Ye Ziyan were there.
As early as after hearing about the disaster, Yunze asked Luo Yanniang, Luo Yunxi and Su Qianmo to go out of the city to deliver food to the victims.
Where they distributed steamed buns, there were several newly built stoves steaming steamed buns. However, there are too many victims, and there may be even more in the next few days.
Keeping it like this is not an option.
