When Li Lin received the solicitation letter from Jin Yu, he discussed it with Cuizhi and Dagou, and after greeting Yuan Li, he dismissed the embroidery workers.
¡°These workers are all villagers from Qingshuigou. They have been making cross-stitch embroidery in the county for the past two or three years. One person can earn as much as the family¡¯s income from farming. They also receive benefits during holidays and festivals. The family¡¯s living conditions have made a qualitative leap.
Now most families in Qingshuigou are considered wealthy, returning to the situation before the locust plague, several villages ahead of Mingshan Town.
It¡¯s a pity that God is not kind. Just as the harvest season is about to come, green clouds that cover the sky and the sun sweep in, and the crops in the fields are eaten up, and there is no harvest.
But this time, it was not a small area that was hit by the disaster. Two-thirds of the counties and towns in Langzhou were landed by the locust army, and there were many complaints.
The house leaked and it rained all night, and cross-stitch embroidery was no longer a specialty of Shanhe County. The Li family had to withdraw from the cross-stitch embroidery business, and their only livelihood other than farming was cut off.
Since the government issued a decree to promote handicrafts and commerce, various factories have sprung up, and this cross-stitch embroidery has spread further and further.
Everything is rare and expensive. The number of cross-stitch embroidery has increased dramatically and is spread all over the country. It is inevitable that there will be sales at reduced prices.
As a result, the profits were meager, and each county began to be self-sufficient. It was barely profitable without purchasing goods from other places.
The first Shanhe County, which was supplying and marketing, was to the birthplace of flowers and embroidery to meet the national civilian class embroidery and affordable ornaments. There was no other benefit except the hometown of picking flowers.
The villagers who were laid off received severance pay, three taels each, which at least gave them some comfort.
These three taels of silver can buy one stone of corn, which is enough for the whole family to eat for a long time. The family also has dozens of taels of silver that have been saved in the past three years. Some hard-working copycats have saved nearly a hundred taels.
"I just hope that the locusts will die out soon and next year will be a good harvest year, so I don't have to worry about starvation."
It¡¯s just that some villages that are not rich are suffering. Few families have any money and only enough food to last until this autumn.
This year¡¯s locust plague means there will be no autumn harvest. In the days after autumn, the only choice is whether the government will provide some relief to last until the famine is over.
After handling the cross-stitch embroidery matter in Shanhe County, Li Lin immediately asked for a guide, all the way to Jin'an, and knocked on the door of the address written in Jin Yu's letter.
Looking at the small courtyard in front of him, Li Lin wondered if he had gone to the wrong place or if Jin Yu had written the wrong address.
Jinyu clearly wrote in the letter that Dongqing's business was too big and Xiaoyuan couldn't take care of it, so she asked him to handle the cross-stitch embroidery as soon as possible and come to Jin'an to help.
Jin Yu is now an official and so rich, so he shouldn't live in a courtyard that looks like a commoner's residence.
And after knocking on the door for a long time, no servant or anyone came to answer the door. He was left standing at the door dusty, with people passing by looking him up and down from time to time, which was really embarrassing.
Li Lin came at the wrong time. At this time, Jin Yu was still in the Hanlin Academy, Dongqing was out patrolling, and Xiao Yuan also had her own responsibilities. This was an empty courtyard without anyone.
Li Lin simply squatted on the stone steps at the door, holding his bundle in his arms, waiting.
It was not until sunset that Li Lin almost fell asleep, then he felt that the light in front of him was blocked.
"Xiao Linzi?"
Jin Yu called Li Lin. These days, the Ministry of Revenue is busy allocating disaster relief funds. Starting from Dianzhou, which is far away, Langzhou is closer and is still checking the disaster situation.
Unexpectedly, Li Lin arrived very quickly, it seemed that it was less than twenty days.
Hearing someone calling him in a daze, Li Lin jumped up from the ground, saw Jin Yu clearly and gave Jin Yu a bear hug.
"Brother Quan! You are finally back, so I can wait for you!"
Jin Yu took Li Lin off his body, took out the key and opened the door, saying, "Why did you come so fast? Did you fly here?"
Li Lin followed Jin Yu with the baggage in his arms, "He came on horseback. I will sell the horse when we get to Jin'an City. There is no use keeping it."
As he said that, he looked around, "Where's my sister-in-law? You guys live in a house like this? You don't even have a servant, so why do you make so much money? What's the use of being an official? What's the use of being an official? What's the difference in Shanhe County? They are still far away from their families."
Jin Yu was helpless and said: "The difference is that most people now call me "Sir" when they see me. I can easily take out tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I am full of confidence."
¡°The silver that we couldn¡¯t easily get out of our hands was turned into fields and shops. Soon, we were able to get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver out of our hands without making anyone jealous.¡±
 It is much cheaper in areas where corn is the staple food, with one stone only costing one to two eight yen.
And the lack of news means that the farmers in Yongzhou still don¡¯t know the movements of the DPRK and China, and they don¡¯t know that there is a large-scale famine on the border between the two states and they need to purchase a large amount of grain.
Dongqing bought all the corn at the cheapest price and found a warehouse nearby. She hid all the corn she bought and shipped it to Langzhou one after another when the time came.
She came up with this plan after hearing Jin Yu¡¯s plan. She planned to match Jin Yu¡¯s strategy to let the people of Langzhou buy the cheapest corn instead of waiting for the news to spread and some unscrupulous businessmen to raise the price.
The national situation will be sent to the DPRK as soon as possible, and the Hanlin officials are the best informed. Dongqing is the first group of businessmen to know the news.
More than a month has passed since the famine began. News has spread that the price of food in Yongzhou has begun to rise, and Dongqing has stopped purchasing.
From the moment Dongqing received the news that Jin Yu wanted to provide disaster relief, she quickly started to purchase corn, one step ahead of the big businessmen who had eyes and ears in the court.
Her plan is to let people buy food at the same price as usual. She can still make a profit. Now that the price of food has increased, it is not a wise move for her to purchase anymore.
Fortunately, it has been more than a month since the purchase, and the quantity is almost there. Those unscrupulous businessmen who are buying grain at a higher price and preparing to raise the price to make a big profit may suffer a lot of losses this time.
On the eve of Jinyu¡¯s departure, an imperial edict came to her head.
This is an imperial edict to promote him from a sixth-grade minister to a fifth-grade bachelor for the purpose of supervision.
Jin Yu thought about it for a while and knew that Xu Qianzhang¡¯s contribution was indispensable.
Although the official rank was only upgraded by one level, from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, his title became a Hanlin bachelor, and the suppression effect increased sharply.
"However, there is something behind the imperial edict. If there are no mistakes in this disaster relief, and if there are no mistakes in the disaster relief, he will maintain his official position as a fifth-grade Hanlin scholar after returning. If anything goes wrong, the blame will be borne as usual, and there will be no tolerance.
Jinyu had no choice but to accept the imperial edict. Since Emperor Hua Yuan said this, he would naturally try his best to keep this official position.
????????????? Otherwise, if this matter had not happened, even though it was only a first-level matter to be promoted from a minister to a bachelor, you would have to wait for more than three years before you have the opportunity.
It seems that Xu Qianzhang saw his intention to be promoted quickly, and wanted to use this incident to teach him a lesson, so that he could gain wisdom and gain his qualifications honestly and peacefully, instead of taking the wrong approach.
Being forced by this imperial edict, Jin Yu had to do her best to be thorough.
With Jin Yu's ability to do her best, Emperor Hua Yuan and Xu Qianzhang did not worry about too many mistakes in this matter.
After this incident, even if there were some mistakes, Xu Qianzhang would take care of him, at least he would not be demoted from the Imperial Academy.
The worst result is that after he directly entered the Imperial Academy as an official with the title of No. 1 Scholar, his eagerness for quick success went wrong and he was demoted to study as a Hanlin Shujishi. He could only stay in the Imperial Academy and serve as an official after passing the exam again.
Other officials in the DPRK looked regretful for being so close to Jin Yu, worried that Jin Yu had made the wrong move.
Others just thought it was insignificant. Jinyu's current official position was not high, so promotion or demotion would not have much impact on them.
Only Jin Yu himself knows that this matter is a psychological warfare, because there is a real Xiang King in Langzhou, so he can supervise this matter in a foolproof way.
With the disaster relief funds in place, Jin Yu was escorted by the Forbidden Army all the way to Langzhou.
As there were more people, we walked slower. It took us a full month and a half to get from Jin'an to Xianglang.
Fortunately, the official road at the central border of Li State was properly repaired and managed, and there were no bandits or bandits around, so there were no dangers along the way.
King Xiang and Liu Zhenning were overjoyed when they received the news that Jinyu was the disaster relief supervisor in Langzhou.
People in the imperial court may not know that this supervisory imperial envoy is one of their own who has been bribed by them. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
