The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 239 240 Methods

  Ding Manniang thanked her with tears: "Thank you, sir, the family really can't get any money. Aman's wages were used up all at once yesterday. I'm still worried that I don't have the money to treat him today."

   The shopkeeper of Huichuntang stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Sir, Ding Caotou has recovered a little, but the person is still a little weak. When the wound is better, it will be fine to go home and take care of it."

   Zhou Jia said to the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper, Ding Man's medical money yamen will pay." The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Master Zhou, Ding Caotou's medicine has been paid by the Ding family."

   "The next medicine fee, Tu Dianshi will come to pay you, and you must treat Timon carefully."

   The shopkeeper bowed and said, "Good sir."

  The yamen who followed Zhou Jia out to patrol the streets all saluted Zhou Jia after hearing this: "Sir, we will do our best to serve the yamen in the future."

"Oh! Haven't you tried your best to do things for the yamen before?" Everyone was stunned, and a lean yamen stepped forward and smiled and said, "Sir, we did our best before, but sometimes, hehe. "A few yamen clerks laughed naively.

Zhou Jia smiled and said: "Okay, I will discuss with Yu Xianwei and Tu Dianshi after I go back. In the future, no matter who is injured in the public service, the yamen will pay for him to recuperate and solve your worries. You can rest assured!" The yamen cheered in unison: "Thank you sir!"

Zhou Jia returned to the yamen, and Tu Hui had already brought back several carefully crafted luggage. After searching carefully, he finally found a blueprint of Qingchuan City in the middle of a leather jacket. Sure enough, it was a spy sent by Daqi. Since Daqi is collecting information, it shows that they still want to attack Dayong.

The reason why Xi Zuo came to Qingchuan has been clarified. Zhou Jia remembered the promise of the people in Xicheng, and returned to the back office to ask Li Yu to discuss the solution to the problem.

Li Yuhe brought Qijin back to the city from Zhuangzi, and asked Xiaoyu when Ruyi came back, sitting on the kang, teasingly lying on the kang and watching the two babble, Qijin who didn't know what he was talking about, Xiaoyu saw Zhou Jia came back, picked up Qijin and saluted Zhou Jia, then went to talk to Yu Niang and the others.

Li Yu thought that Zhou Jia knew that Mr. Wen came back and only returned to Houya, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xi, I have already told the gentleman about the fine work, and the gentleman is already starting to make hallucinogens for you, you have to see See?"

   Zhou Jia nodded happily and said, "Yu'er, then I'll go and say hello to Mr. Sir. I have something to discuss with you when I come back."

  Li Yu supported his waist and followed Zhou Jia to the eaves of the porch: "Go! I'll wait for you."

   Niang Yu came from the front yard holding the child brought back by Tu Dianshi, the child was still choking with tears in the corners of his eyes.

  Li Yu looked at the child Yuniang was holding: "Yuniang, what's wrong with the child, is it uncomfortable?"

Yu Niang said to Li Yu with a sad face: "Ma'am, this child has been looking for his brother since waking up this morning, and he doesn't answer any questions, we don't know what his name is, and there is even Tu Dian envoy. I didn't bring any clothes back, what do you think?"

  Li Yu looked at the skinny child, touched the hard padded jacket on the child's body, frowned, and touched the child's hand which was not very warm.

   Seeing Li Yu touching his little hand, the child leaned on Yu Niang's shoulder in fear.

  Li Yu thought of what Tu Dianshi had said that the child's grandmother and brother were killed by those few meticulous works, and sighed in his heart: Poor child, I don't know that I have lost my only two relatives overnight. Li Yu gently said to Yu Niang: "Go to the warehouse to get some cotton and fabrics, make some underwear, two sets of cotton pants, and two pairs of cotton shoes for the child, and when Mr. Tu finds his relatives, come and bring them. Walk."

   Niang Yu touched the child's little face, looked at the child with pity, and said, "Thank you madam, madam has made new clothes and shoes for you."

   "Go! It's freezing outside."

   "Hey!" Yu Niang responded with a crisp voice, and took the child to the warehouse to get cotton fabrics.

After Zhou Jia said goodbye to Mr. Wen, he came back and told Li Yu about the plight of the people in Xicheng and what he planned to help them, and said, "Yu'er, help me think about it, what can I do to help them? ?"

Li Yu thought about it: "They don't have land, and there are many small areas of wasteland in the villages and towns outside Qingchuan City. You can encourage them to open up wasteland and create land, and appropriately increase the number of years for tax reduction and exemption. They have their own land, at most two It can be slowed down in a year.”

Zhou Jia shook his head and said, "Yu'er, most of the people are unwilling to open up wasteland to make land. First, some people are so poor that they don't even have money to buy livestock, hoes, and rakes. Second, they don't have manure to add nutrients to the fields, which is better. People can't even live the current life, how can they wait a year or two."

Li Yu thought for a while: "Xiaoxi, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, there are two ways, one is to make statistics with Tu Dianshi, and divide the areas where Qingchuan can open up wasteland and assign it to the poor and no land. The people in the village taught them the method of reclaiming wasteland and farming in our village, and the yamen came forward to buy farm implements and seeds, lend them to the poor people on credit, and buy some cattle for the people to buy on credit. The cattle can be subscribed and used by several households. These money will be paid in advance by the yamen. After the people buy on credit, they will be repaid and exempted from interest within the specified period. If the specified period is exceeded, a certain amount of interest will be charged. As long as people are not lazy, they can change the face of poverty in front of them. This method is also in their best interest.”

Li Yu paused: "There is another one. This time, Awei went to Da'ao Village with Changgong Dashui. He saw that the mountain and ao were half the size of Fengming Village, and the soil was fertile. I want to buy it and build it. Cheng Farm, you can ask them if they would like to go to Da'ao Village to open up wasteland after the spring. The wages are still fifteen cents a day, and three meals a day are included. We can sell them on credit in advance, and work in the spring to offset the account. There is no risk. , as long as you are diligent and hardworking, you can also do long-term work on Zhuangzi.”

After listening to Li Yu, Zhou Jia thought about it for a while, and said: "The yamen will come forward to pay the money, buy cattle, farm implements and seeds, and give the people credit to the people to open up wasteland and land. This method is indeed the most beneficial to them. Yes. The yamen is also good, it has increased the area of ​​arable land, and has achieved political achievements. But this way, the yamen has a greater responsibility. Let it be! I will discuss both methods with Tu Dian. The first method is to help the poor There are more people, and the second one can only help the dozen or so families in West Street, so I still prefer the first method."

   Li Yu said with a smile: "This is just an idea of ​​mine. If you implement it, you need to make it more detailed. You should go to the Qianya and Mr. Tu to discuss it."

   Zhou Jia got up and kissed Li Yu, then smiled: "As long as the madam helps me come up with a general direction, I will go back and discuss with them and draw up the final implementation rules. There is nothing wrong with it."
