Chapter 187 Relief for Work
The sixteenth prince Chu Qianping's face flushed red. In his mind, Chu Qianyu's property belonged to him. He was still in the pain of losing his brother before, but when he looked up, he found that his brother's property belonged to someone else. That's why he went to Shangguan Qing Say it.He hadn't thought about the ownership of the property rights at all. He was told by Shangguan Qing that he realized that the real owner of Qianfuzhai was the woman in front of him.

"But..." Chu Qianping stammered for a long while, unable to think of what to say.

The sixth prince, Chu Qianyun, smoothed things over and said, "Sixteen and Seventeen grew up together, and they have different feelings for Qianfuzhai."

Shangguan Qing saw that Shiliu was really sad for Shiqiu, she softened her tone and said, "I don't blame you, but you have to learn if you don't understand, even if you are a prince, you can live comfortably all your life, don't you just want to lie in bed?" Living on a rice bag for a lifetime, people always have ideals."

"Yes." Chu Qianping bowed his head to be taught, and could see that he was wronged.

Chu Qianyun clapped her hands and said, "Since we've talked, you go back first, I still have something to say to Qing'er."

"Sixteen, just stay here, there is nothing to hide." Shangguan Qing was very wary of Chu Qianyun, and didn't want to have too much entanglement with Chu Qianyun.

Chu Qianping was so shocked that he sat down in a daze and did not speak.

Shangguan Qing invited Chu Qianyun to take a seat, Zhu Qing and others brought brand new refreshments, and Shangguan Qing quietly waited for Chu Qianyun to reveal the secret of this visit.

Chu Qianyun also took out a piece of letterhead and handed it to Shangguan Qing from Zhuqing.

Shangguan Qing opened it, and there was another very simple imitation salt roll. Chu Qianyun's purpose was different from Chu Qianren's, he came to remind Shangguan Qing.

"Qing'er, your source of money said that I have studied it carefully, and some of the words are correct. Salt rolls are the standard currency, so that should be the case, right?"

After Shangguan Qing nodded, Chu Qianyun continued: "The indiscriminate harvesting of salt rolls will definitely cause problems. I just want to remind you to be careful and not be taken advantage of by villains."

"Thank you, Your Highness Sixth, for reminding me that I am very confident in the anti-counterfeiting of the salt rolls."

"It's good to be prepared."

Shangguan Qing did not explain that since the emperor issued an imperial decree to promote salt rolls in salt fields across the country, and allowed merchants to use salt rolls to pay taxes and settle public and private debts, Luantai Division sent sample money for salt rolls to major salt cities and major cities across the country. On the way to the yamen, teach them how to distinguish real salt rolls.

At that time, what the government has to do is to issue salt rolls, take back the salt rolls, and guarantee the use credit of the salt rolls.

There may be places that secretly collect fake salt rolls and sell the salt goods in the salt field, but when they escort the recovered salt rolls to the center, as long as there are counterfeit banknotes, it is the time for Chu Huaitian to kill with a knife.

Shangguan Qing could feel that Chu Huaitian was very determined this time, he wanted to clean up all the moths in the salt industry, rice industry and iron industry.

After Chu Qianyun finished talking about the salt rolls, he also talked about the famine in Jingdong.

"I heard that you are using salt rolls to purchase grain. I hope to borrow a batch of grain from Luantai Division and transport it to the Jingdong area to help the victims." Chu Qianyun looked at Shangguan Qing expectantly.

Shangguan Qing nodded approvingly.Chu Qianyun has such a beautiful heart, which made Shangguan Qing feel good about him, but it is still difficult for Shangguan Qing to contribute money to help the victims, because her money is not hers.It's not good to directly refuse, Shangguan Qing thought for a while and said: "All the inventory transfers here must be approved by His Majesty, all I can do is to replace labor, recruit workers from Jingdong, and work on the projects under the Craftsmanship Division. "

"Relief with work?" Chu Qianyun thought for a while and asked a difficult question: "There are a lot of refugees in Jingdong. What kind of people to recruit and who to recruit are difficult problems."

Shangguan Qing had a brainstorm, and quickly found the answer in Ling Ling's modern memory, and it was very suitable to use it directly.

Shangguan Qing said: "Of course, the more people we can help, the better, so I plan to recruit strong men with families. All strong men must have wives, parents, and children. They must have at least four family members with them. There must be two women. I Will give them a job where the whole family won't starve."

Chu Qianyun was stunned when he heard this, it was the first time he heard of such a recruitment requirement.

Chu Qianping, who was in a daze beside him, also raised his head, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Why?"

Shangguan Qing replied: "Because the construction of the Department of Craftsmanship requires a lot of labor, and too many people are likely to cause trouble. Only people with families will not easily stand up and make trouble."

Chu Qianyun was troubled, he felt that he underestimated Shangguan Qing's ability again.

The Jingdong area is the main activity area of ​​the Red Scarf Army. This time Jingdong was hit by a disaster. In addition to natural disasters, there was also a deliberate suppression by the imperial court, which has something to do with the blood draw of the Jingdong area.

According to the plan of the former Prime Minister Liu Gang, the rioters who starved to death are the good ones.

Chu Qianyun borrowed food from Shangguan Qing, not to help the victims, but to support the troops and family members of the Red Turban Army and stabilize the Red Turban Army.

Ever since Zhu Senqing, the leader of the Red Scarf Army, was killed, the Red Scarf Army has been in great chaos. The false prince Zhu Changluo was trying to rectify the interior, but Zhu Changluo also died, and the Red Scarf Army became even more chaotic. One of them defected to Chu Qianyun's command. It created an opportunity for Chu Qianyun to join the Red Scarf Army.

To stabilize his position in the Red Turban Army, the first thing Chu Qianyun had to do was to support them.

Shangguan Qing's proposal of using work as a substitute for relief disrupted Chu Qianyun's plan, and also required all the strong men to bring their family members, which gave Chu Qianyun a hundred courage and did not dare to put the main force of the Red Turban Army on the coolies. in the ranks.

"It's such an ingenious method." Chu Qianyun had to admit that Shangguan Qing's method was very practical, there would be no trouble, and it could save more people.

Chu Qianping on the side understood some truths, clapped his hands and said, "This is a good way, I wonder how many people Sister Qing'er will recruit?"

"I'm going to..." Shangguan Qing smiled and didn't continue, but changed the subject and said: "I want to recruit labor, and I need His Majesty's approval. I can't say the specific number now, but the first few Thousands are still needed."

Chu Qianyun wanted to ask about Shangguan Qing's plan, and he had a premonition that once Shangguan Qing's plan was implemented, it would be impossible to stop it.

Just when Chu Qianyun couldn't help but want to ask carefully, Chu Qianping asked very intimately: "Sister-in-law, what kind of project does the Craftsmanship Division want to build, and there are not enough workers for the Craftsmanship Division?"

"Build the road." Shangguan Qing said the first step plan, but refused to say anything after that.

They chatted some more gossip before they left. Shangguan Qing felt tired and didn't stay in Princess Xiyue's mansion any longer, and left with her servant girl guards.

The next day, the Craftsmanship Department was about to build a large-scale project, and word spread that it was going to the Jingdong area to recruit labor.

Some ministers strongly opposed it, but when they saw the recruitment conditions, some smart people immediately figured it out. The collective opposition immediately turned into collective approval, and the memorials praising the emperor's benevolence piled up as many people.

Chu Huaitian, whose vanity was satisfied, quickly approved Shangguan Qing's plan.
