Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 102 You are a good person
Beijing.

Duke of Wei.

"Uncle Fu, is dad back?"

"The master has just returned home and should be in the study at the moment."

After hearing what the housekeeper said, Xu Miaoyun put down what she was doing and walked quickly towards the study with small steps.

"Dad, is there any latest news about the disaster relief in Yangzhou?"

Xu Da felt a headache when he looked at his daughter. He has been asking questions about the disaster these days.

Some time ago, he even wanted to go directly to Yangzhou. He talked hard and finally used his authority as the head of the family to spend the next year not eating roast goose, and finally managed to keep the head.

He really couldn't figure out why his daughter was so concerned about the disaster.

Like today, as soon as he returned home, this girl came running over.

"The disaster has been completely resolved."

Xu Da opened his mouth and told Xu Miaoyun what Zhu Yuanzhang had just announced in the morning, and then said with emotion: "No one could have imagined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yang Xian really did it."

You know, this is a total of 50 million disaster victims.

How did he do it?
Xu Miaoyun's eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, and her face was full of shock.

"Potatoes have played the biggest role in this disaster relief. No one thought before that there is a staple food in the world with a yield of four to five thousand kilograms per mu," Xu Da said.

You must know that in the past few months, a group of officials headed by Hu Weiyong have never stopped questioning Yang Xian's previous promotion of potato cultivation.

"Of course, the disaster relief and epidemic prevention manual written by Yang Xian also played a vital role in it. In the past, epidemics were always accompanied by disasters, but this time, Xuzhou and Fengyang implemented the epidemic prevention manual in accordance with Yang Xian's epidemic prevention manual. It’s incredible that the epidemic has been completely eliminated.”

Xu Da sighed again: "Yang Xian is indeed a wise man."

On the other side, Yangzhou.

Taking advantage of this wave of free young labor, Yang Xian began to radiate asphalt roads crazily around Yangzhou with Yangzhou as the center. At the same time, he continued to build communities and small Western-style buildings in the city and in the suburbs outside the city, and engaged in real estate development.

The first thing to be completed was the asphalt road from Yangzhou City to the seven counties in his prefecture.

This project has been in progress before, and now that there are so many more people, it can be completed quickly.

In this way, the entire Yangzhou prefecture and seven counties will be completely connected, and there will no longer be any obstacles for people to travel.

As for the Jingyang Highway leading to the capital, a long stretch of road has been built.

Now due to the surge in population, the entire Yangzhou has become more lively.

There are a lot of people on the street. Fortunately, the city has built a spacious asphalt road. It would be unimaginable to accommodate so many people at the same time if it were a small dilapidated road like before.

At this time, a carriage was driving on the street, heading straight out of the city.

Pedestrians on the road can’t help but glance at the driver when they see him.

The person driving the car was none other than Liu Kun.

Liu Kun has worked under Yang Xian for the past two years and is somewhat of a celebrity in Yangzhou.

Nowadays, there are not many people in Yangzhou City who can let him drive in person.

As it approached the city gate, the carriage slowly slowed down.

"Sister Yuemin, we have arrived at the city gate." Liu Kun said respectfully.

The person sitting in the carriage at the moment is Wang Yuemin, who has come all the way from the capital.

"I'll get off the car right here. You can go and do your own thing. Thank you." A maid opened the curtain, Wang Yuemin got out of the car, looked at Liu Kun and said with a smile.

Two maids followed closely behind, holding a lot of sweets in their hands.

The place where Wang Yuemin and the others were going was to the family area of ​​these victims and workers, to deliver snacks and sweets to the children.

This is not the first time Wang Yuemin has come during the disaster relief period.

Every time, Liu Kun took the initiative to help drive and lead the way.

"There's some chaos over there, Sister Yue Min, let me send you there." Liu Kun stood there, mustered up his courage, and suddenly said loudly.

"No need. The family area is close to the city gate. There are patrolling officers everywhere. It will be fine. But you, now you are also a supervisor. The construction site cannot do without you. Go quickly." Wang Yuemin waved his hand and turned around. He walked forward without looking back and soon disappeared from Liu Kun's sight.

Although during the disaster relief period, Yang Xian has stepped up public security management.

But every time Wang Yuemin came to Yangzhou, he secretly sent people to protect him, even if he went to the family area closest to the city gate.

Liu Kun stood there blankly, and after a while, he came back to his senses.

As the 50 million fleeing famine victims left the Sanjin Land, the Sanjin Land itself began to slowly become stable.

Seeing the profits, some grain merchants reached out to the land of Sanjin and started selling grain.

Without these refugees fleeing famine, they no longer need to take risks when transporting food. Nowadays, there is still a shortage of food in the Sanjin Land, so they can still make a lot of profits.

If it were in the past, all dynasties would have faced this situation.

The imperial court basically turned a blind eye, because these businessmen would certainly make huge profits by reaching out to the disaster area, but they would also send a large amount of food, thus affecting the local supply and demand balance.

In the long run, it will even reduce food prices in the disaster-stricken areas, playing an important role in restoring stability to the disaster-stricken areas.

Therefore, even if the court wants to settle accounts, it usually waits until the disaster is completely over before settling the accounts later in the year and arresting a few typical examples of those who have gone too far to behead them, which is another large sum of money.

As for the feelings of the people during this period.

No one cares.

Everything is for the sake of stability and suffering for the people, so what else.

But it was different now. After dealing with this group of victims, Zhu Biao took a large amount of potatoes and began to transport them to the land of Sanjin.

Whether it is local profiteers hoarding rice or unscrupulous businessmen from other places who want to take advantage of the situation, they all have nothing to gain from the potato army.

Yangzhou City.

Yang Xian stood on the city wall and looked at the workers busy working on various construction sites in the distance. According to the calculations of him and Zhu Biao, by the beginning of next spring, the land of Sanjin will be completely restored to stability.

By then, a large number of victims gathered in Yangzhou City and the entire life buffer area will return home one after another.

Because that's where their home is.

Many people still have fields to farm after they return.

Of course, there are also quite a number of people who have sold their house titles in order to survive in the Sanjin Land, and there are also people who have lost family members while fleeing the famine. These victims will most likely stay in the south.

Because there is no longer any place worthy of their nostalgia in their original hometown.

Where they are now is their new home.

There are plenty of jobs here and there are endless potatoes to eat.

For those who choose to stay in Yangzhou City after next spring, Yang Xian will pay them wages just like other employees.
