All Hail Cousin Brother

To resettle so many refugees requires huge financial support. Yin Huaixi couldn't get it, so he swung the butcher's knife at the gentry.

In essence, his behavior is no different from that of King Liang, all for the sake of money and food.

But King Liang was for a selfish desire, but Yin Huaixi kept the refugees alive.

But behind the survival, it is still to take control of the northern border, develop a stable and strong backing, and prepare for the future competition in the world.

Yin Huaixi said, "The military attaché can't be involved in politics, and the resettlement of the refugees depends on the government's arrangement, and I should not interfere with the rest, so as to avoid the implementation of the people. As for whether this path can survive, it also depends on the government and the local area. Gentlemen, are you willing to give the refugees a way out?"

When Yu Youyao thought of Liancheng's situation, she understood what Yin Huaixi meant.

really!

Yin Huaixi looked at her: "One side of the water and soil, one side of the people, the Xie Mansion still knows that the wealth of the world should be taken from the people and used for the people. Whether it is floods or droughts, they will actively unite good businessmen and organize people together. In disaster relief, there are two natural disasters in the south and the north, the role played by the imperial court is almost negligible, and the role of civil relief is even greater.”

He respected Grandpa Xie, and even everyone in the Xie residence, not only because they were Yu Youyao's outsiders, but also because they were worthy of respect.

Due to the influence of Xie Mansion on the southeast coast, it is not impossible to organize a huge business alliance similar to the North Border Business Gang.

but!

The Xie Mansion is very clear that the wealth in the hinterland of the Central Plains comes from the people of Dazhou.

The Xie House paid attention to maritime trade, brought resources from other countries back to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and fed back the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At the beginning of its establishment, the Beijing Merchant Gang also vigorously developed the Silk Road, the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, and made money from other countries by taking the trade route, but now the gentry in the northern border are powerful and exploit the people, which has become the norm.

This is because the business gangs are too powerful. The business gangs have developed to a certain scale. In response to development needs, they have controlled local resources. The potential of local resources has been excessively consumed, and the productivity has reached the limit. It is inevitable that they will exploit the people. Internal state.

Yu Youyao was a little unhappy: "It is a national policy to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. Business is more expensive than farming. In turn, oppressing the people will also lead to low productivity."

Since ancient times, there has been no farming cheating business, only business cheating farming, and farming is the first force of productivity, and food is the foundation.

The productivity of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not enough to support it, and commerce and trade were allowed to develop freely. The death of King Li of Zhou was a serious consequence of the excessive development of commerce.

Yin Huaixi couldn't let it go.

Yin Huaixi sneered: "The entire northern border plus the disaster victims who have escaped from the famine, there are nearly five million people, and there are only a few gentry willing to organize civil disaster relief. In this way, due to the influence of the drought, the production of silk has decreased year by year, but the gentry still firmly control the sericulture business, buying low and selling high, making huge profits, and people who are unwilling to give the people a way to survive.”

What is even more ironic is that part of the reason for this is that when he was still the prince, he had massacred officials and gentry to raise food and grass for the You Army. In the case of King Li of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the blood flowed for 3,000 miles in the north, and there was a lesson from the past. , Some gentlemen are worried about touching his bad head, and deliberately put on the skin of hypocrisy.

Yu Youyao sighed softly: "Accept the refugees, develop the population in the north, improve the productivity of the north, improve the land, sparsely populated and low productivity, and then achieve the suppression of the gentry in the north, control the important resources of the north in their own hands, and further control the north. What you want to do, I support you."

Governing one side of the soil and water is far from being as easy as she thought, and some means are indispensable.

She couldn't just watch, Yin Huaixi was controlled by the gentry.

King Li of Zhou was a foreshadowing.

Maybe Yin Huaixi saved all kinds of calculations, at least he saved millions of people from the disaster.

King Liang couldn't do it, but the gentry were unwilling to do it.

"I don't want to follow in the footsteps of my father," Yin Huaixi came to Yu Youyao and squatted in front of her: "I have given them many opportunities."

Yu Youyao nodded: "If you spread the rumor that you want to teach the refugees to raise silkworms, the gentry will not understand what you mean, but seeing that the spring silkworms are about to be reared, even the four great masters in the city have not said at all that you are the king of the vassal, and you are not to the refugees. You can't interfere too much in this matter, so as not to fall into place, the gentlemen also understand this, so they are not afraid of your suggestion, they exploit the people, regardless of the life and death of the victims, the unkind and injustice, the death is not a pity."

She had always understood that Yin Huaixi wanted to save the refugees, but because of her status as a vassal king, she could not intervene in the affairs of the government, so she could only use this method to imply the gentry.

The refugees were sheltered to raise tussah silkworms. The food of the early refugees was supported by sweet potatoes and abundant seafood resources. Moreover, the weather warmed up and all things recovered. The refugees could also get food from the mountains. Officials and gentry did not need to pay too much. Evenly spread down, but a drop in the bucket.

When the spring silkworms form cocoons in the first season, the refugees can exchange silk for food, and there is food in the palace of Wumu. Although it cannot be given to the refugees in vain, the silk can be used as a military supply for the refugees to exchange food.

Silkworm chrysalis has also become one of the food for refugees.

Sweet potatoes are fully planted in the three northeastern provinces that were less affected by the disaster. The leaves and canes are edible, and the yield is large. The northern region will not face a food shortage crisis.

The silk of the refugees can also be exchanged for grain with the gentry, so that the gentry can profit.

It is good for the gentry to take in the refugees.

The gentlemen are reluctant to do it because over the years, they have become accustomed to exploiting the common people, sitting on their hands and reluctant to make any sacrifices.

It is also because they control the resources of one place and are used to being superior. In their eyes, the refugees are like a mustard, and they are even more reluctant to be arrogant and help each other.

But that's not right.

Knowing the universe, but still pity the grass and trees, this is the kind of mind that a high-ranking person should have.

And Yin Huaixi did it.

After thinking about this, Yu Youyao opened his heart and smiled: "I will do what the gentlemen don't want to do. With my hand, you can also achieve your goal."

There are many areas in Liao Province that are suitable for sericulture, and they all have the natural advantage of accepting refugees. The areas that accept refugees will also develop population, improve productivity, and newly developed resources will also break the inherent resources controlled by the gentry. In a pool of stagnant water, the living water is poured into it, and under the control of King Wumu, there will be more powerful capital to suppress the gentry and make the gentry follow the rules set by King Wumu.

What Yin Huaixi did was in the interests of the common people and in his interests as King Wu Mu, and it was a win-win situation.

Yin Huaixi breathed a sigh of relief: "The development of the North is also inseparable from the gentry. For example, King Liang's means of killing people must also be divided."
