All Hail Cousin Brother

"After I came back, I discussed with Qingxiu. Qingxiu knew some about incense and medicine, so he divided the production of incense into five major areas: incense and medicinal material processing area, incense prescription compatibility area, semi-finished product area, finished product area, and quality inspection area. In the distribution area, each large area is also divided into many subdivisions. The subdivisions are also divided into processes, and each has a separate person to take charge and manage..."

Yu Youyao listened carefully: "You have thought very carefully, centralizing power to govern people and decentralizing power to govern affairs, and using them appropriately."

Qingxiu was still a little worried: "One disadvantage of doing this is that it requires a lot of manpower. The people we trained before are far from enough. Casual workers only make some simple anti-epidemic fragrances, which is no problem. We can make more complex ones in the future." The fragrant medicine is completely useless, and the monthly payment for the contract workers is also a big expense."

Yu Youyao said: "The incense shop needs to develop, and this is something that cannot be rushed. I think these casual workers are quite efficient in their work. You can see who can be used, and you can sign long-term contracts with them. The process of making incense medicine will be refined. Now, the process has become simpler. Recruit some people with good character and skillful hands, and train them according to the needs. I think they will be able to get started quickly. When they get started, the output will be greatly increased, and the knife will be sharpened without making mistakes. Woodman, that’s a good thing.”

To be honest, what Bai Shao and Qingxiu have done is beyond expectations. One manages affairs and the other manages people. They complement each other. They grew up together and are sisters. They understand each other's nature. There is a tacit understanding of the cooperation. I have been with my grandmother and have seen the world, so I can't do it too much.

She herself couldn't do better than them.

Bai Shao changed the topic again: "The first batch of fragrant medicine has been finished and will be sent to Longcheng tomorrow. From now on, the fragrant shop will ship out every ten days until the refugees are completely resettled."

As soon as Yu Youyao returned to Yu Garden from Xiangfang, Shuyun came over and reported: "Miss, His Highness is back and waiting for you in the big study room."

"Brother Nineteen is back!" Yu Youyao was overjoyed. She quickly picked up her skirt and ran to the big study room.

The folk customs in the Liaodong area are strong and there are not so many rules and regulations of ethics. However, Yu Youyao is a daughter of an aristocratic family. In the year of cardamom, she has to pay attention to the rules of defense between men and women.

As a boudoir, Jiushao Yuan also had to avoid taboos. Yu Yuan arranged a large study room in the front yard, where she usually interacted with several uncles, cousins, and foreign guests.

Yu Youyao arrived at the big study room excitedly, and suddenly slowed down her steps and held her breath, wanting to give Yin Huaixi a "surprise".

Just as she approached the study door, she heard Yin Huaixi's voice coming from inside: "Yin Yi, how is the situation in the Longcheng Internment Camp?"

Yin Yi's voice then replied respectfully: "It's still relatively stable now. The imperial court has supported a batch of food, and foreign merchants and local gentry have donated money and food one after another. However, more and more victims have been pouring into Longcheng recently. The consumption of supplies is too huge, and the supplies in the shelter camps are not enough to cope with the consumption of nearly two million victims."

Yin Huaixi was not surprised: "How long can the supplies last?"

"Five days at most."

Yin Huaixi's face darkened: "Ask the local officials to inform the court, stating that the number of victims is too large and supplies are insufficient, and asking the court to continue supporting supplies."

The food support was less than he expected.

Yin Yi didn't know why: "However, the imperial court has already requisitioned a batch of grain from the grain-producing lands in Huguang, and I'm afraid it won't be able to support it anymore..."

Yin Huaixi said quietly: "Do you know why I placed the refugees who fled the famine in Dragon City in the first place?"

Yin suddenly realized: "Dragon City is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is rich in resources. It is affected by the warm and humid climate of the Bohai Sea and the dry and cold climate of the northern plateau. It is a semi-dry and semi-humid area. It is windy and dry in spring and autumn, and the temperature is low. It’s less likely to breed germs.”

Yin Huaixi twitched the corner of his mouth: "Dragon City is also adjacent to Hebei and Jingzhao. A large number of disaster victims gathered in Longcheng, which will pose a certain threat to Jingzhao and Hebei. The court has no food, but," he smiled meaningfully : "Those who have food, there are many people there."

Yin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "What do you mean, let the court collect grain from the people? Although the Hebei area was affected by the disaster and the people fled, but Hebei is a major grain-producing land in the three provinces of Beijing. The grain production in this area , it is more than enough to support the entire three provinces of Beijing, there must be no shortage of food."

In Hebei, the big families, merchants, and landowners who own fertile land are not short of food. They hire a group of able-bodied nursing staff, and then make a symbolic donation of supplies to the government. They receive official protection and can stay in their homes after closing the government doors. At home, the most popular drinks are spicy.

Yin Huaixi said quietly: "The people who are most worried about the lack of supplies in Liaodong are the dignitaries in Hebei and Jingzhao. As long as the news of the shortage of food in Longcheng is released, the imperial court will not sit idly by and ignore it, and neither will those big households."

In the past, refugees fled everywhere and posed a certain threat to the court. However, the refugees did not become powerful. Although the court had a headache, it was not afraid.

Now nearly two million victims have gathered in the Dragon City area, forming a large-scale gathering that even Youjun may not be able to suppress.

Once supplies run out in Liaodong, millions of victims will flock to Hebei, where food is available, and gather in force in Hebei, threatening Beijing.

Yin Yi was shocked.

The imperial court never dreamed that His Highness would gather refugees in Longcheng, threaten Hebei and Jingzhao, force them to pay and provide food in disguise, and overwhelm the imperial army.

but!

Yin Yi said worriedly: "Aren't you afraid of offending the court by doing this?"

Yin Huaixi smiled: "What does the obstruction of national policy have to do with me?"

What bad intentions does King Wu Mu have?

King Wu Mu was just forced to accept the hot potato thrown by the court. He wanted to solve the problems for the court, but the gentry did not cooperate, and he was too ambitious and unable to do anything!

Yin Yi was in a daze for a while.

The imperial court clearly issued a national policy and ordered the northern gentry to fully cooperate with the resettlement of the victims.

Now that the implementation of national policies is blocked, the victims cannot be evacuated and resettled, resulting in a large number of victims gathering in one place. The local gentry is the first to bear the brunt!

As a threatened court, the first thing to express its anger is the local gentry. King Zhou Li died in the past, but before time has passed, millions of victims will threaten the country. When the old and new accounts are calculated together, the gentry will suffer.

Yin Huaixi chuckled: "I never like to find fault for myself."

The benefits of hosting refugees are obvious, but behind the benefits, there are also countless troubles, such as safety in the camps, material consumption, disease prevention and control, etc., which are not something Liaodong can bear.

The best way is to take all the benefits yourself and leave the troubles to others to solve. He only needs to reap the benefits.
