It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 672 Coercive Means
The next day, Su Rui had just finished her breakfast and was listening to Steward Wang's report on the daily affairs of the house, when she saw Xiao Qiu walk in with a smile on her face, and bowed to Su Rui, "Ma'am, the two masters are back."

Su Rui stood up abruptly, "Where are you?"

Xiaoqiu, "The two masters went to Zhuxiangyuan to say hello first, and said they would come to see you later, madam..."

Su Rui sat down on the chair again after hearing the words, and nodded slightly towards Steward Wang, "Butler Wang, I understand what you said, the price of the hill with almond blossom trees in the south of the city and the land below the hill are according to what they quoted Come on, sign the deed early, rebuild it early, and enjoy the apricot blossoms next year without delay."

Butler Wang nodded and asked again, "Should the entire mountain be covered with walls?"

Su Rui said with certainty, "Gai, the fence needs to be at least two and a half meters high, well, three meters is fine, the higher the better."

"Yes···"

Butler Wang was stunned, two and a half meters tall?Three meters high?Is the higher the better?How many bricks do you need?Ah, no, I have to order the bricks now. The quantity needed is huge. If I don’t order the bricks early, what should I do if there are no more bricks?Yes, there are also tiles and wood that need to be ordered. On the land under the mountain, a lot of tiles and wood are also needed to rebuild the city and play in the village...
Well, in short, it is okay to order more materials, but absolutely not to order less!Absolutely not!
Su Rui waited for a long time, but Su Chenrui and Meng Mingxu didn't come, so she couldn't wait, so she took the girl to Zhuxiang Garden to see them.

Su Rui walked into the Zhuxiang Garden and saluted Meng Tao and the others, and then asked, "Chen Rui, Ming Xu, why didn't you send someone back to send a message in advance when you come back? So that someone can pick you up? Is it safe on the road? Is it safe to enter the city?" Isn't it hard to get in?"

Su Chenrui stood up and said helplessly, "Sister, you let me and Mingxu talk..."

Jiang pointed to the chair and said with a smile, "Mingzhou daughter-in-law, please sit down quickly? Sit down and ask slowly."

Su Rui smiled, "Yes, grandma."

After Su Rui sat down, Meng Mingxu said, "We have a young man with us, so it's okay to come back by ourselves. Besides, we entered the city from the south of the city, so we didn't see many victims along the way."

After a pause, he continued, "But when I entered the city, I heard the gatekeeper say that there are still many disaster victims in the east and north of the city..."

Seeing that Su Rui sat down, Su Chenrui sat back to the original seat, "It is more complicated to enter the city now than before. In addition to looking at the road guide, now you also need to check the household registration. If there is no road guide, you must have a residence in Yuncheng. Or someone guarantees it, otherwise you won’t be allowed in..."

Meng Zhongshan interjected after hearing the words, "There are still so many victims? Didn't the imperial court make any arrangements?"

Meng Mingxu thought for a while and said, "We heard from our classmates in the academy that the court seems to say that as long as they are willing to go back, they will give three or two taels of money to settle down, but most, it should not be said that basically all of them are not very willing····"

Meng Tao nodded slightly, and asked calmly, "Then do you know why they don't want to leave?"

Meng Mingxu and Su Chenrui looked at each other when they heard the words, and at the same time lowered their heads to think. After a while, Su Chenrui raised his head first and said, "The conditions given by the imperial court seem to be good. The settling fee for one person and two taels, if a family of five The number of people is ten taels, but they escaped because the house at home was destroyed, and they ran out because they had no choice. Ten taels seems to be a lot, but now five houses are built, even if one house is not used. It takes nearly one tael of silver, plus some furniture items, so ten taels of silver may not be enough..."

Meng Mingxu then said, "Lack of money is one thing, and there is another thing, even if there is no large-scale earthquake in Qianyang County, I heard that small earthquakes still come from time to time. These victims I'm afraid that if there is another big earthquake when I go back, what will I do..."

After listening to what the two said, Meng Tao nodded in satisfaction, "Both of you are right, but you said a little less."

Su Chenrui asked, "Grandpa, what did you miss?"

Meng Tao looked at the people sitting there with a smile, and finally looked at Su Rui, "Daughter-in-law Mingzhou, can you know the reason?"

Su Rui didn't expect Meng Tao to ask her, the main reason is that when Meng Tao guides Su Chenrui and Meng Mingxu, he never asks her, but he doesn't talk if he doesn't ask her, and he can't be dumb if he asks her, so he stands up.

"Grandpa, grandson's daughter-in-law has shallow vision and low intelligence, so apart from the reasons Chen Rui and Ming Xu said, I really don't know why they are unwilling to leave, but grandson-in-law knows why the court wants them to return to their original place. "

Meng Tao raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Then tell me, why do you like them to go back?"

Su Rui smiled and said slowly, "Whether it is Yuncheng or the surrounding villages, there is no shortage of people. If they don't go back, the original land will not be cultivated for a long time. The top-grade fields will become low-grade fields, and the low-grade fields will become complete wasteland, and the degradation of the fields will cause a reduction in grain production, which means...
"It can be seen from this that the imperial court must let those people who have fled to go back. Now the imperial court can still give them settlement funds, and persuade them to return one by one. However, if they do not cooperate for a long time, then the imperial court will definitely have Other actions..."

"Let's not talk about the settlement fee at that time, even..."

After Su Rui finished speaking, she looked up at Meng Tao and Meng Zhongshan. After hearing what she said, they both lowered their heads and pondered for a long time. Seeing this, Su Rui thought for a while and then said, "Grandpa, grandson My daughter-in-law may be wrong, but my grandson-in-law thinks so at the moment, if something is wrong, please point out grandpa and father..."

At this time, Meng Tao raised his head and showed a kind smile, and said slowly, "Mingzhou's daughter-in-law is right, it's grandpa and your father-in-law who didn't think of this..."

Meng Zhongshan followed suit, "Yes, daughter-in-law of Mingzhou, you are right, but I don't know if those victims can think clearly..."

It took Su Chenrui and Meng Mingxu a long time to come to their senses, Su Chenrui still couldn't believe it, "Sister, if those disaster victims don't listen to the imperial court's arrangement, will the imperial court really use tough methods in the end?"

Su Rui spread her hands, curled her mouth and said, "Eldest sister doesn't know..."

Meng Mingxu was silent for a while, then hesitated and said, "Sister Rui, if you really do something, those disaster victims will be so pitiful..."

Su Rui said helplessly, "Ming Xu, are there few poor people in this world?"

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, poor people must have something to hate. This is always true. If they know that they are good, they will accept it. Don't be greedy, and they will never be forced to drive away by the court." of···"

Meng Tao also muttered to himself when he heard the words, "Yeah, looking at a poor person doesn't necessarily make him pitiful..."
