Chapter 299: If I were a man, I would not be inferior to your elder brother.

Wei Ruo felt the look Yun passed over, but deliberately pretended not to see it.

She could not take the Wei House’s monthly payment, but wanting her to shell out silver to support her family she would not be so generous.

As long as she does not take the initiative to put forward, Yun will be very difficult to open this mouth. Parents take their daughter’s private money in the big door this is not a decent thing, unless outsiders do not know, know, the degree of shame is no less than the pawn.

After ignoring Yun’s gaze, Wei Ruo pretended as if nothing had happened and asked about Wei Mingting’s stragglers, “Father, what does the government office side plan to do with the stragglers that have flooded into the city these days?”

Wei Mingting sighed: “There’s no good way to dispose of them, I wanted to enlist them into the army, but the refugees are not all adult men, the elderly and children make up the majority. Even if there are rich and strong men, most of them are dragging their families along, and if they are recruited alone, the families left behind will not know how to live in this barren year. And even if the government office side has the intention to take them in, there is no good place to do so.”

Hearing this, Wei Yi Chen inquired, ”What if we arrange for them to reclaim the wasteland just as Xing Shan County did before? At that time, Big Sister and the county office together arranged for the stragglers to participate in the reclamation of the wasteland south of the city, and the harvest was quite fruitful; not only did they resettle the stragglers, but they also successfully improved the wasteland, bringing about a bumper wheat harvest this summer, killing two birds with one stone.”

Wei Mingting thought for a moment and said, “Last year there were fewer stragglers in Xingshan County, but this year the scope of the disaster has expanded further, and the number of stragglers is increasing, not just those inside and outside of the city, but it is rumored that a large number of stragglers are pouring in from other places. But in any case, if the court can arrange for some of them to clear the land for self-sufficiency, it’s better than none, and can more or less alleviate some of the problems.”

Said Wei Mingting and Wei Yichen as they simultaneously looked at Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo is a very crucial part if this is to be accomplished.

Because this is not something that anyone can do, and the only one who has done it so far is Wei Ruo.

Otherwise, the seventh prince wouldn’t have specially come to the mansion to invite Wei Ruo the other day, and after being rejected, he even sent people to the mansion several times to send gifts to Wei Ruo to put in a good word.

Wei Ruo replied: “This is a big matter, nowadays the matter of organizing the displaced people to open up the land is more than several times more troublesome than the time of Xing Shan County, for one thing, it involves more displaced people, and the range of the wasteland to be reclaimed is also wider, and the government personnel needed to be mobilized are also bound to be more. In addition, there is also the Yuan family, the seventh prince and other people may be involved in, then things are not I a woman can control the generation, so it needs to be reconsidered.”

Hearing this, Wei Mingting expressed his approval, “Ruo’er has a point, this matter is indeed not simple, one needs to think twice.”

Wei Yi Chen asked Wei Ruo, “Then does sister Ruo’er think there’s anything we can do right now?”

Wei Ruo replied, “Let’s wait and see what happens, on the one hand to see what the court will do, and on the other to see what other famous families in Taizhou Province will do. My Wei family is ultimately weakly rooted in Taizhou Prefecture, and my father is a military official, no matter which way you look at it, we shouldn’t be the ones to take the lead in the disaster relief.”

Even if Wei Ruo is concerned about the people, even if he is willing to put aside his prejudice against Chu Lan and cooperate with him again, he does not dare to participate in this situation.

Wei Yi Chen also expressed his approval, “What sister Ruo’er said is very true.”

Wei Mingting couldn’t help but say, “If Ru’er is a man, he will not lose a single point to your elder brother.”

Wei Yi Chen also agreed, “Big sister is someone with great talent.”

Although Wei Yi Chen did not approve of some of the things Wei Ruo did as a boudoir woman, he very much recognized Wei Ruo’s talent and ability.

At this time, Wei Qingwan interjected, “Father, my daughter has heard that the rich and noble families in the capital city have very abundant food reserves at home, and my daughter feels that if they are willing to help out, it should be able to alleviate the pressure on the victims to a certain extent.”

Wei Ming Ting said, “Wan Wan is talking about the Taizhou Prefecture within the family of the abundant family, in the past those years have accumulated a lot, the granary is also always full of reserves, but now this light, even if the family of the abundant, but also do not dare to casually take out the food.”

If this method was feasible, the government office would have acted long ago and would not have delayed until now.

Wei Yi Chen also said: “What’s more, these stragglers can’t be solved overnight, such as letting the rich households in the city take food relief, also don’t know the relief to the end of the day is a. And other places get the news that they are afraid to pour into Taizhou Prefecture. And other places of the displaced people get the news is afraid to pour into Taizhou capital city, then the situation will only be worse.”

Wei Qingwan’s thoughts were jointly rejected by Wei Mingting and Wei Yi Chen, and Wei Qingwan lowered her head somewhat sadly.

Seeing this, Wei Yichen comforted, “Wanwan don’t have to care, you have little contact with these things, and the books you read on women’s precepts generally don’t involve knowledge in this area, so it’s only human nature to think about the lack of thought. You have this heart to think for the people is already very bad.”

Wei Qingwan nodded a bit, she also knew that this was not something she was good at, but there was just some resentment in her heart that Wei Ruo could talk to her father and brother in high spirits, but she could only watch from the sidelines.

And then Wei Mingting, Wei Yi-chen and Wei Ruo said a number of things about the disaster victims and the grain arrears, although in the end they did not come to any conclusions, but the discussion was surprisingly consistent between the father and daughter.

After the casual conversation ended, the crowd left Cang Yun Yuan one after another.

Wei Yi Chen saw Wei Ruo leave and immediately followed her, catching up with her after exiting Cang Yun Yuan.

“Sister Ruo’er.” Wei Yi Chen arrived in front of Wei Ruo and blocked Wei Ruo’s path.

Now that it was summer, it was getting dark late, and even after the evening meal, the sky was still white.

“Big brother called out to me for something?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Today, Big Sister asked Mr. Lu to bring a message to Brother Xu?” Wei Yi Chen asked.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo admitted frankly.

“You do so much is not right, marriage matters parents’ orders matchmaker’s words, can not be private ……” Wei Yi Chen paused, and then said, “In addition, Mr. Lu is always an outsider, these things you and the parents at home brother and sister to say no harm, say with outsiders more or less unseemly”. , said with outsiders more or less unseemly.”

“Thanks for the reminder big brother, I’ll pay attention next time. If there’s nothing else I’ll go back first.” Wei Ruo also didn’t argue much with Wei Yi Chen.

Wei Yi Chen’s frown deepened instead of stretching.

“Sister Ruo’er don’t leave yet, big brother hasn’t finished his words.” Wei Yi Chen called out to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo then continued to look at him, waiting for him to finish his sentence.

Wei Yi Chen looked at Wei Ruo’s cool eyes and couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

After a moment of contemplation, Wei Yi Chen continued, “If you really don’t want to marry big brother will help you think of a way, but privately you shouldn’t be too much in contact with brother Xu, lest you fall into disrepute.”
