Rebirth Jade Fate

Chapter 204 Governance
Ren Wuyun showed the mouth to Master Huang, and said: "Even if we don't make a move, I'm afraid the Sun family won't be around for a long time. I really don't know why the sixth child chose the Sun family."

Master Huang was very relieved when the opponent became weaker, "The Sun family's behavior is indeed unexpected." As for the matter of the prince, the fourth son can talk about it, but he can't.

Seeing this, Ren Wuyun curled his lips a little bored.

Ren Wuyun handed over the matter to Master Huang, "Since the other party intends to cooperate, let's make it possible for them. You send someone to talk to them."

"Yes." This kind of trivial matter really does not require Ren Wuyun to come forward in person.

Speaking of which, the Sun family is in a cocoon. There are six girls in this generation of the Sun family. Except for Miss Sun who is still at home, the other girls are from the concubine.

The eldest girl and the second girl are fine, they got married before the Shi family had an accident. Although the marriage was not very satisfactory, they were not far behind. Moreover, the Sun family is considered powerful and powerful in Huizhou City, although they are now attached The Shi family has collapsed, but the truth is there.

So the in-laws' families of the two aunts didn't treat them too badly.But the remaining three girls were miserable. Once the Shi family collapsed, the Sun family was almost subordinate to the Shi family. The Supreme Emperor didn't want to escalate the situation because he didn't have any definite evidence, so he let the Sun family go.

But the Sun family had a guilty conscience, and when the fourth prince came to investigate, they were the ones who made things difficult for the Shi family, so the Sun family rushed to find a relationship with the Supreme Emperor's order, and the daughters who were waiting to be married became trade goods.

I don't know if the Sun family wants to make Miss Sun a rare commodity, or if they really love Miss Sun and just skip her and marry the youngest Sixth Miss as a betrothal.However, from Master Huang's point of view, the former is more likely, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a fuss before.

Ordinarily, the three girls got married, and the time schedule is so tight, so there should be some clues. However, the Sun family did not find a good family for the three girls, and they did not become wives, but concubines. Cherishing their reputation, they let the three girls "suddenly die", in fact they all were sent out.

Aunt Qian is very much loved by Mr. Sun, and she can run the business herself. When she sensed something was wrong, she wanted to feed her daughter to fight for one or two, but Mr. Sun was determined. If you do good things, it's better to be the concubine of a bad old man in the past.However, they were found out for their incompetence, Aunt Qian was beaten to death on the spot, and the third girl was sent away quickly.

The third girl has always hated her in her heart, and tried her best to find the family of her uncle who had been sold out, and through them, she found the fourth and sixth girls who were "married". Come out, they also jumped out.

Thinking of what the three girls were planning, Master Huang couldn't help sighing, indeed, a saint would not deceive me, he would rather offend a villain than a woman!

Even if Ren Wuyun doesn't care about the affairs of the yamen anymore, that doesn't mean he allows others to ride on his head.Ren Wuyun ran to the yamen the next day, and took Mr. Huang to walk through various departments. After a round, most of the officials' salaries for this month were fined. They were late for work, left early, chatted, and even left halfway. , all punished!Mr. Liu was the most severely punished. He lost his salary for three months. The reason was that he was thinking wildly at work and his work efficiency was low. In the time he spent processing one official document, Mr. Huang had already processed five.Ren Wuyun pointed to Mr. Liu's nose and said: "He is just a master, you are still Tongzhi, you can't even compare to a master, so why do I need you? It's better to let Master Huang be the one."

Liu Tongzhi dared not speak out.

Everyone in the yamen knew that the governor was looking for trouble for Liu Tongzhi, and everyone had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky. They didn't dare to blame Ren Wuyun, but they all complained about Liu Tongzhi. What are you doing?
In the days that followed, the people in the yamen fully realized how beautiful the previous days were.

Since Ren Wuyun had already promised Mr. Huang that he would take good care of the affairs in the yamen, he naturally would not shirk any more. He divided the matter into two parts, going to the military camp early in the morning to handle military affairs, and then going to the yamen after returning home for a meal at noon. The official documents reviewed by Mr. Huang were sent out, and then the tasks were assigned according to what Mr. Huang said.

Mr. Huang is determined to improve Anhui's agriculture. In the past few days, he has read a lot of books and consulted a lot of old farmers, and finally he has some ideas.

There are many saline-alkali lands in Anhui, and the harvest of that part of the grain is very low. Nowadays, people also know to irrigate the land, but the cost is too high. Although the land is fertilized in the end, the workload in the early stage is too large, and ordinary families cannot afford it. affordable.But if the imperial court did it... Mr. Huang frowned, he might not be able to do this in the imperial court.

Master Huang told Ren Wuyun his embarrassment, and Ren Wuyun had no good solution, "Since ordinary people can't afford it, it's better to consider those families with better families first, and start with them. If we can really improve the soil quality, at least There will be a big harvest next fall."

"Wouldn't the gap between the rich and the poor be bigger? There are already enough poor people in Anhui who have become bandits. I'm afraid that the rich will annex the land after they get richer. I'm afraid there will be more poor people." Then Anhui will be even more unstable.

"Then what should we do? We can't let the rich pay for the poor to irrigate the land, right?"

Master Huang was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the feasibility of this matter.

Ren Wuyun stared in surprise, is this okay?
When I went back at night, I told Wei Qingyu about this, and warned her: "Mr. Huang's mouth is so powerful, we have to stay away from him in the future, don't let him sell it and we will count the money for him. Back then, Dark Five gave him After being fooled, I slapped myself five times, and I have to kowtow to him as a thank you."

Wei Qingyu didn't focus on this, and asked curiously: "You said Master Huang has found a way to control the saline-alkali land?"

Ren Wuyun nodded nonchalantly, "Yes, I found it from a few old farmers and a few books, saying that as long as you irrigate carefully, then arrange the water conservancy, drain the water, and cultivate carefully. It will get better in five or six years."

Wei Qingzhen was thoughtful, she also learned about geography when she was in high school, but those were just a few words, pure theory, far from practice.But maybe she could have someone try it too. "I bought 300 mu of land near Huizhou City, and more than [-] mu of it is saline-alkali land. When the time comes, I will ask the stewards below to talk to Mr. Huang, so that they can learn from it."

Ren Wuyun coughed out, widened his eyes and said, "Why do you buy land in Huizhou City? We only stay for two or three years. Instead of buying here, we might as well go back to the vicinity of the capital, even in the south of the Yangtze River. "

Wei Qingyu said indifferently: "You think Huizhou city is full of saline-alkali land, but that's just a part of it. Anhui and Jiangsu used to be called rice warehouses, because most of the land is still very fertile. I specially asked people to buy those. The saline-alkali land is just for experiments. Since you are here as a parent official, you have to be responsible for them. Although it is only a few years, how many years can you have in your life? You have to make a difference."

It was not the first time that Ren Wuyun heard such words from Wei Qingzhen, he was thoughtful.

Wei Qingxuan continued: "Most of the saline-alkali land in Anhui is cultivated by commoners. Most of the fertile land is in the hands of bureaucrats, landlords, and wealthy businessmen. Ordinary people are only owned by some rich households. Let them pay for the governance. Saline lands are hard."

We all know that saline-alkali land is difficult to cultivate. Over the years, capable people have consciously purchased those fertile lands and sold the saline-alkali land.Poor people gradually exchange their land for saline-alkali land. Over the years, Anhui has formed such a vicious circle. Rich people have a lot of fertile land, while poor people hold most of the saline-alkali land. So the richer the more The rich and the poor get poorer.

Ren Wuyun remembered what the emperor said about buying back the land and then distributing it to the poor.

Wei Qingyu sighed. In modern times, such a large project would usually be undertaken by the state, but now that the new emperor is enthroned, it is a troubled time.It is already difficult enough for the emperor to be in the capital, Ren Wuyun will definitely not cause such trouble for him again, they can't drag people there by themselves.

Wei Qingyu raised his head and saw Ren Wuyun's thick eyebrows and big eyes, a thought flashed in his mind.Wei Qingyu hurriedly ran to Ren Wuyun's side, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you training the Hui army these days? How are they doing?"

Ren Wuyun said angrily: "What else can I do? I have practiced desperately for more than half a month, and I still just walk decently."

Wei Qingyu knew that he didn't understand what he meant, so he made it clear: "I mean, how about pulling them to the front to work?"

"Work? What are you doing?" Ren Wuyun asked confusedly.

"Don't you want to irrigate and repair water conservancy? Anyway, those soldiers will suffer if they don't fight now. You must know that what they eat and use is the tax paid by the common people. It is understandable to ask them to do something for the common people after the war. Ah, didn't you say that the Hui army is very domineering towards the common people, and they bully the common people casually? It's just right, let them pay off their merits and go to irrigate and repair the water conservancy for the common people."

Ren Wuyun's eyes lit up, he ground his teeth and said, "Okay, it's best to be exhausted this time, let's see if they dare."

Ren Wuyun got this good idea, and hurried to find Mr. Huang, who also lived in the Dudu Mansion, it was the first time Ren Wuyun came to see him at night, he thought something happened, so he put on his clothes and got up.

Ren Wuyun gave him a strange look, why did he fall asleep so quickly?But this is a private matter, Ren Wuyun did not forget the purpose of his visit, and told Master Huang about Wei Qingzhen's idea.

Master Huang was surprised: "You said you want the Hui army to irrigate and repair water conservancy?"

Ren Wuyun nodded.

Master Huang walked a few steps in the room, his eyes lit up and said: "This is a good idea. We can not only use soldiers, but also those poor people. We don't want them to work for nothing. Why don't you write a letter to the emperor and let the poor work for you?" Replacing taxes also allows them to reduce their burden, as for wealthy households, they must do the same, if they don’t work, they can only pay money.”

Ren Wuyun waved his hand, "Okay, you can go and write the notebook, I'll just copy it later."
