Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 308

It's really weird to say this.

Song Yuan looked over and felt familiar when she saw that person's face, but she really couldn't recognize that it was her brother.

Good guy, my brother is still tearing things apart, right?

"It's not wrong to encourage the people to dare to resist. Tax exemption is also an incentive." Song Yuan's answer was neither serious nor serious. If it weren't for the people who are asking for something later, she would definitely tell the truth.

As long as you have a little use, you don't need the people to kill the Huns by themselves. How can you have the face to force me here?
The man snorted coldly, ignored her at all, stood up directly, and the armor on his body made a sound following his movements: "Commander, the military affairs are over, and the general will retire first."

He didn't want to listen to Song Yuan's rambling here at all, a brat who came to the northwest to stir up trouble, is he worthy?
He strode out, and the deputy general counselor and several generals who followed him also stood up. Song Run showed displeasure, and when he was about to stop him, he caught a glimpse of Song Yuan's nonchalant expression.

This expression is tricky.

Calculating that it was time for him to reach the entrance of the big tent, Song Yuan cleared his throat: "This year, there are about 12 cotton-padded clothes available for the military to distribute, and this is why I am here."

Those who were planning to go along with him all sat back after hearing this. Song Yuan turned and looked at his elder brother who had already arrived at the door. He hesitated for a while, and when he came back, Song Yuan looked at him with a smile.

How dare you shake your face, isn't it embarrassing?
"Fourth brother isn't leaving?" The sixth son, Song Qian, was uneasy and kind when he opened his mouth. With so many people present, he was the one who laughed the most.

The fourth son, Song, kept a dark face and said nothing, but he did not forget to give Song Yuan a vicious look. If this kid didn't do it on purpose, he would have taken his head off.

"Has the cotton harvest been counted this year?" Song Run had good stamina, and it was his basic respect for Song Chen that he didn't laugh on the spot.

Song Yuan sent the document in his hand: "This is based on the official documents of several prefects, please take a look at it."

Song Run took it, but did not open it in a hurry. After scanning the crowd, he said: "The master will stay, and the others go out first."

There are too many people and too many conversations, and it is difficult to discuss things to a conclusion. Moreover, he really doesn't want a group of outsiders to see his brothers grabbing things and arguing.

Although the others were unwilling, seeing that their master hadn't spoken, they all went out one by one.

The number of people in the big tent decreased instantly, leaving only a few people.

Song Xi was very concerned about what was written on the paper Song Run held in his hand, so he took the initiative to ask: "If it is convenient for the second brother, can you let the brothers pass it around? There are no outsiders now, and my brothers will not set up defenses." Bar?"

Song Run didn't say a word. After reading it carefully, he gave Song Yuan a surprised look, and returned the document to her, letting her decide whether to pass it on or not. Song Yuan was also generous, and gave the document to his fourth brother Song Chen.

Although Song Chen had a dark face, it didn't stop him from reading the notebook at all. Lao Qi who was sitting next to him was impatient, so he came over to read it himself. The surprised expressions of the two of them made Song Xi's heart itch, and finally waited for them to finish reading. Song Fu, who had been silent all this time, brought over the document.

"Then how do you plan to distribute it?" Song Chen asked without waiting for others to finish reading: "I heard that you have already set the distribution standard, [-]% of the cotton is supplied to the army, [-]% is sold, and [-]% is Give it away for nothing."

Listening to his tone, he was extremely unsupportive of this allocation standard. Song Yuan saw that there was an empty seat next to her, so she didn't hold back, and sat down by herself before speaking: "Fourth brother is right, that's what I thought, In the Northwest, only Zhangye has grown grain this year, and the other three counties have none. The people always have to eat, and they can’t count on Zhangye’s small harvest. Thirty percent of the cotton is sold in exchange for grain. The situation in the Northwest is special, and the next round of harvest will be bumper We have to wait for the autumn harvest next year, and the rations for several 10 people for a whole year are not a small amount.”

"How do you explain the [-]% that is given away for nothing?" Song Chen insisted on this point: "I just want to win people's hearts, so there is no need to be so generous. Even the soldiers in the army haven't been able to get a piece of clothing to avoid the cold. , How about you, take a life-saving thing as a favor?"

Song Fu and the others also finished reading the paperwork. Although they were not as aggressive as Song Chen, they had similar expressions and thoughts.

[-]% of cotton is [-] catties, and [-] catties of cotton clothes, which is not a small amount.

They all stared at themselves. If Song Run hadn't been in charge, Song Yuan guessed that what they said would be even worse.

"This is not a favor, but comfort to the people." Song Yuan was not impatient, and patiently explained: "Although cotton is grown in many places in the Northwest, if it is only based on the imperial court's request, the planting area is not large. There will not be much difference, which simply cannot satisfy both military and civilian uses.

The interests of cotton have been divided up this year. If there is no new interest, the money and grain trade in the Northwest will fall into a deadlock, and no new merchants will be attracted. The Northwest will be a stagnant pool. The unique rules are not good for the people in the northwest.

Taking out [-]% of cotton to comfort the people is to let the people know that this thing is really good, that it can really keep out the cold, and that it can really save lives in the cold winter. Only in this way, the people will be willing to take the initiative to plant cotton to expand production. Expanding, new interests will continue to emerge, and new businessmen will continue to flow into the Northwest.

The reason why the cotton is given to the poor people is to turn a corner and give them a way out. They must be reluctant to use the cotton to make clothes, but the cotton can be exchanged for food. No matter who gets the cotton in the end, it will be handed over. Everyone will know how good this thing is. If it is given to the people who can eat and drink enough or the rich, the poor will never know how good this thing is. If they don’t know, they will not plant it. If they don’t plant it, the yield will never Can't raise high. "

What Song Yuan said was dry, but they were all silent. Although they were thinking about their own interests, it was undeniable that according to Song Yuan's thinking, it was worth giving away the [-]% cotton for free.

Song Chen stopped talking, and he was persuaded by the aggressive questioning. He couldn't find any other reason to mess around for a while, so he had to sit down and listen to what other people had to say.

"How do you plan to distribute the 12% of the cotton?" Song Fu asked the key point: "According to your cost-effective data, there will be 40 cotton-padded clothes this winter, with a total of [-] troops at the border. How do you distribute them?"

Song Yuan was silent, and Song Run spoke: "She is only in charge of the garment making step, how to distribute it is up to us to discuss."

He took the initiative to take the matter over, and Song Yuan was very grateful.

As soon as Song Run opened his mouth, all his eyes turned to him, but only for a moment, Song Fu continued to ask: "Since cotton is divided into three, six, and nine grades, what is the quality of [-]% of the cotton supplied to the army? How is the quality of the cotton clothes made?" If you can't keep out the cold, can you be held accountable?"
