All Hail Cousin Brother

Yin Huaixi shook his head: "Sericulture is very complicated, and I don't have the energy to worry about it. One million mu is not too much. The retail households in Liancheng have been oppressed by the four families for many years, and they have limited money and food. Affected by some, there will not be too many people who are able and willing to take risks to buy mountain forests and expand silkworm farming."

"There are many generals in the army, and the money in their hands is limited, so the ability to purchase capital will not be too high. Although this million mu is large, only you have the financial resources to eat it, and only you can guarantee that after you buy the forest land, you can resettle the refugees. ."

The refugees are unable to purchase land to raise silkworms. In order to ensure the resettlement of the refugees, Yu Youyao must have absolute right to speak in the sericulture industry in Liancheng, so the number of sericulture farms under her name cannot be too few. All of them have mastered the scale of sericulture of nearly 400,000 to 500,000 mu.

Yu Youyao nodded: "That's right, I will discuss the purchase of silkworm eggs with the retail investors. The victims raise silkworms in my silkworm farm, and 30% of the silkworm cocoons they harvest will be owned by themselves, and 70% will be owned by me. I will buy 30% of their cocoons at the market price. Silkworm cocoons can be exchanged for silver and food, and related contracts. After the refugees are settled in Fuzhen and Lianzhen, I will make a contract with them as a unit and distribute an appropriate amount of silkworm eggs according to the population of each family. "

This was her decision after careful consideration and discussion with the two Canzhuang stewards under her name.

The northern border accommodates a large number of refugees, and some of them will be arranged to open up wasteland and grow sweet potatoes in sparsely populated areas.

Some refugees will be resettled to places suitable for sericulture in the Liaodong area to raise silkworms.

The price of tussah is higher than that of mulberry, and the profit is very considerable. She cannot let the profit of sericulture be higher than that of farming. Otherwise, everyone in the three provinces of Liaodong raises silkworms, and no one cultivates grain. It will be controlled by people, but when there is a natural disaster and man-made disaster, the people have to wait for death.

The profit of sericulture must be equal to the profit of farming.

Only when silkworm raising and farming advance each other can the northern border develop.

Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is a national policy, and it is necessary to pinch the signs in the bud from the very beginning.

Thirty percent of silk is already quite a lot.

Xie Jingliu looked at Yu Youyao deeply: "There have been several extraordinary famines recorded in history, the most severe one affected nearly a dozen regions, more than 10 million people starved to death, and more than 20 million victims fled to other places, causing The consequences of this are not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters.”

"The imperial court at that time was very corrupt, and the civil society organized a large-scale uprising and broke away from the imperial court to establish a political power. The struggle between the two sides lasted for more than 20 years and spread to the whole country, causing a fatal blow to the agriculture at that time. "

"The common people could not recuperate and cultivate their fields. The imperial court expropriated grain in order to suppress the uprising. The rebel army also levied grain from the common people in order to fight against the imperial court.

His little cousin has an unparalleled vision.

Xie Jingliu looked proud.

Yu Youyao nodded: "This severe drought in the north is far less severe than the famine recorded in history, but even so, there are tens of millions of victims in the entire northern region, and the number of refugees who have fled the famine has reached four or five million. In the three regions of Gansu and Gansu, the powerful merchant gangs have inhibited the development of agriculture, resulting in low productivity in the north, and grain production has been reduced year by year."

She also learned a lesson, no matter what way of making money, it must create favorable conditions for agriculture.

Yin Huaixi nodded with a smile: "It's up to you."

Yu Youyao frowned: "It's mid-February, and I heard from the retail silkworm farmers that silkworm eggs have already started hatching at this time in previous years, and this year's weather is colder, so it's delayed, but at the end of the month at the latest. The silkworm eggs are about to be hatched, so the resettlement of the refugees must be completed as soon as possible, but this season’s spring silkworms cannot be delayed.”

Yin Huaixi: "Don't worry, the basic fortifications can be completed in at most half a month, and it does not conflict with silkworm farming. Yesterday, Mr. Li came to look for me. support the resettlement of refugees.”

Mr. Li first took the donation form and the ledger, and in about ten days at most, everything recorded on the ledger would be in place one by one.

Yu Youyao pondered: "Also, the refugees live in tents first, and the tussah silkworms are stocked on trees, so there is no need to build a silkworm breeding place. Regarding the construction of the silkworm farm, it will not be a problem to find craftsmen later and build it slowly." Said. Here, she smiled again: "There are also many people among the refugees who understand mud brick fortifications. You can ask them to do the fortifications of the silkworm farm."

She can only help resettle the refugees. How to settle down in a foreign land and rebuild their homes depends on them.

In this way, at most half a month, the refugees will be able to settle down. Yu Youyao can't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "The four families are not ambiguous."

Yin Huaixi smiled but not smiled: "After all, it is a family deeply rooted in the local area, and it is true that the desire for profit is true, but it is not really stupid."

Just as he was talking, Xia Tao came over and bowed to Yin Huaixi and Xie Jingfeng before saying, "Miss, Master Li sent someone to bring it here. The four members specially prepared a generous gift for Miss."

Yu Youyao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood that this is the four people's full desire to survive.

The four masters are still acquainted with each other, and the national policy was issued, so they donated money and materials and food. Compared with the great gentlemen in the mountains, Shaanxi, and Gansu, the four masters are nothing, and Yin Huaixi has no plans to do anything to them. .

Yu Youyao smiled: "It seems that if you don't accept this "great gift", it will make people nervous and uneasy." She turned to look at Xia Tao: "Just accept it, and ask Lord Li to bring a word to the four of you. , In the future, the refugees will settle down in Liancheng, and please take care of the four members."

It is second to take care of it or not. These words are only meant to beat the four members, don't try to fool the four members for a while, and they are also in the hearts of the four members.

Xia Tao bowed as she should and exited the courtyard.

As for the reaction of the four people when they heard this, Yu Youyao didn't care.

Yin Huaixi chuckled: "I've been busy patrolling the border during this time. It's been ten days since you arrived in Liancheng, and I haven't had a chance to accompany you around. The weather has warmed up in the past few days, and the spring is just right. I plan to go to Fuzhen tomorrow. Helian Town is patrolling, and Lao Mao Mountain is connected there, but the scenery is good, do you want to go over there and take a look?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Jingliu who was beside him. Seeing that Xie Jingliu had no objection, he felt relieved.

Yu Youyao is a little moved. There is a custom of walking on youth tours in all dynasties and dynasties. Yu Youyao is the eldest daughter of a bereaved woman, which is more taboo than others. The family is also headed by a stepmother, but she has never participated in it.

It's just that the news about her in Liancheng has already spread. I think many people are staring at the station, and there must be many inconveniences when traveling.
