Chapter 292 Debate
Although the average age of the households in Yunjiazhuang is [-], the oldest is [-] and the young is [-], so the labor force is not very strong.Yunshuang always wanted to summon a few strong laborers from other places to build roads, but this idea was criticized by Uncle Qian and others as soon as he said it.

"Patriarch, although the old men are old, there is still no problem in doing this kind of work. Besides, how can we give opportunities to foreigners? You don't know how happy these old boys are when they hear that they have jobs!"

Helpless, Yunshuang had no choice but to work as a contractor.

"Uncle Qian, the road must be wide enough for four carriages to pass!"

"no problem!"

Uncle Qian took Yunshuang and Taozi to inspect the construction status of the road. Taozi discovered a detail. There was a sign beside the road saying "Keep to the right". Taozi was puzzled.

"Teacher, why do you have to keep to the right here?"

Yunshuang replied with a smile:
"Taozi, you can see that the road is so wide. If everyone walks in the middle, people coming and going will be crowded together. If everyone walks to the right, this situation will not happen!"

Taozi thought for a while, then suddenly jumped up.

"Teacher, you are so smart!"

Yunshuang smiled and walked directly to Yunfu without saying anything.There is another bet waiting for her a day later.

…………

A day later, Yunshuang was standing in the court hall, many people looked at her, and Shuyan and Xu Renkai who were facing her were even more contemptuous.

After some tedious ceremonies, the emperor began to speak.

"My loves, the three-day agreement has expired, I wonder if you can do anything?"

There were at least a hundred people in the hall, but they were all silent. Obviously, everyone didn't want to be the first bird.At this time, a man stepped forward to speak, it was Fan Xiaoshi, the champion of the new discipline the year before last.

"Your Majesty, I have a method that I don't know if it will work."

"But it doesn't matter!"

Fan Xiaoshi stroked his sleeves and said seriously:

"Your Majesty, when I passed through the countryside last spring, I heard that the farmers said that the copper coins were not enough to buy seeds. I borrowed five pots of money from the farmer, and the farmer used the five coins to buy a lot of seeds. Last autumn, I passed that area again. In the local area, the farmer not only returned the five guan coins to the minister, but also gave the minister a load of millet as interest. So the minister thought of a way, if the state borrowed such money from the farmers, it would not only be able to harvest the money in the autumn harvest Wouldn't it be great to recover the capital and charge some interest appropriately!"

Fan Xiaoshi's method looks pretty good at first glance, and it only takes a little more than two seasons to integrate a certain amount of assets.But Yunshuang clearly realized that this was the predecessor of the Qingmiao Law of the later generations. The original intention of the Qingmiao Law was good, but after being exploited by officials, the people suffered unspeakably.What's more, farmers don't need to borrow. Officials are forced to borrow for performance. If the harvest is good, it will be fine. In a disaster year, the common people can only sell their children and daughters to repay the young crop loans.

"Your Majesty, I think Xiaoshi's method is feasible, but it still needs to be tested!"

The person who spoke was the Minister of Finance that Yunshuang had met that day, with a lot of relief on his face, Yunshuang guessed that Fan Xiaoshi had a secret relationship with the Minister of Finance.

"Well, to be discussed! If the other Qing family has a solution, please tell me quickly!"

The emperor was neither happy nor angry, and it was completely confusing. At this moment, Shuyan stepped forward to speak.

"Your Majesty, I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that Taibai Jinxing was pointing me."

Shuyan paused, waiting for the emperor to speak.When the ancients spoke, they always liked to quote, or get some immortals to appear on the stage, so as to make their words have a stronger basis.
