Chapter 208

: Suppress first and then increase

"How does Mr. Ye plan to properly arrange it?" He Yanxiu asked.

"This..." Ye Yongwang looked ashamed, "The lower officials are incompetent and can only think of some temporary rescue methods from the yamen, but there is no proper long-term plan."

"Miss Su has a good strategy here, why don't Lord Ye give it a listen?" He Yanxiu said, "If Lord Ye also thinks it is very suitable, why not give it a try?"

"Seriously?" Ye Yongwang was immediately overjoyed, "Miss Su really has a good plan to settle these beggars?"

Su Yujin, "..."

Didn’t he say that he should come to Magistrate Ye if he had something to do?

In this so-called matter, He Yanxiu first pretended to question Magistrate Ye, and then offered some advice?

But this is good, at least with the previous restraint, Magistrate Ye probably can't wait to hear her thoughts...

Su Yujin cleared her throat, "It's not really a good idea, it's just some ideas that I want to tell Mr. Ye."

"Most beggars are refugees. Although they are strong, they cannot work to earn a living. Even if ordinary people have the intention, they do not dare to violate the law and therefore do not dare to hire people. As a result, beggars can only beg along the streets, which not only makes the streets look inadequate.

If you keep it neat and tidy, it may cause trouble easily over time."

"So I figured that if the county government could come forward to make a living for these beggars and let them be used by the government, this problem could be solved."

Ye Yongwang frowned when he heard this, "However, although the employment of Yamen servants does not pay attention to household registration, the number of Yamen servants is fixed. If there is a large increase for nothing, I am afraid it will be difficult to afford it."

In particular, he has always respected the need to be upright and honest as an official. Although he cannot be described as having a clean breeze on his sleeves, at least the entire Qinghe County Yamen can be described as clear soup and little water. He really can't afford a lot of money to support so many mouths.

"There is no need for the Yamen to pay. I will pay for this matter. Mr. Ye only needs to take charge of it as the county government. If this matter is managed well and done smoothly, the Yamen may still make a fortune.

.”

Make some money?

Ye Yongwang was shocked and overjoyed.

There is little water in the yamen, and many times he wants to do some extra things to help the elderly and the poor or reward the people under his command. This makes Ye Yongwang quite worried many times.

If it can solve the problem of beggars, earn some money for the Yamen, and provide some daily supplements, then that would be a great thing.

"Miss Su, tell me quickly." Ye Yongwang urged.

Seeing that the preliminary preparations were almost enough, Su Yujin explained her thoughts to Ye Yongwang in detail.

These beggars are managed uniformly by the Yamen, who set up fixed residences, issue bamboo tags symbolizing their identities, register them one by one, and post public notices to let everyone know their identities and play a certain supervisory role.

Then, these beggars can go to the streets and take on errand work, such as taking on the work of delivering goods to customers from shops, or taking on the work of buying and delivering things to people who need to buy things but have no spare time at the moment.

, and charge a certain commission based on the size of the goods and the length of the journey.

Qinghe County is adjacent to the capital and the ferry. There are not a few people traveling from north to south. Many people arrive at Qinghe without knowing anything about it. Many things are inconvenient. These beggars can be sent to the city gate to take turns to make arrangements for the coming and going.

Merchants or pedestrians introduce inns and restaurants, act as brokers, and draw a certain commission from inns and restaurants. They can also receive silver rewards from merchants or passers-by.

All the money obtained by the beggar was returned and redivided proportionately.

Su Yujin, as the investor, accounts for 30%, and the Yamen, as the manager, also accounts for 30%. The remaining 40% is the beggar's income, which can be saved for personal use.

In addition to all the initial investment, Su Yujin is required to provide basic accommodation, daily basic meals and uniform clothing required in the early stage.

The yamen needs to manage beggars, maintain daily business order, resolve daily disputes, establish the prestige and credibility of this business, expand influence, etc.

Su Yujin was eloquent, but Ye Yongwang nodded frequently, "This method is really good."

It is indeed a great idea that can solve the problem of beggars begging on the streets, prevent the yamen from paying a penny, and also bring certain profits to the yamen.

"In the past two days, I will discuss it with people in the yamen and roughly determine the division of labor. After the Lantern Festival, I will discuss it in detail and start working on it as soon as possible."

Try your best to make this happen.

Seeing Ye Yongwang's enthusiasm for this matter, Su Yujin's heart was completely shattered.

But after a moment, Ye Yongwang frowned slightly, "This is a good thing, but beggars are used to begging, and they are often hostile to the yamen. I am a little afraid if I suddenly tell them that there is such a thing.

Even if it’s a great good thing, they won’t believe it.”

Although people's hearts will gradually change over time, if you don't cooperate in the early stage, I'm afraid many troubles will easily arise.

"Master Ye, don't worry. There is a man named Huzi among the beggars, who has some prestige among them. I am very familiar with him. If I tell them about this in detail, they will probably understand it and think it is a good idea.

A good job."

Su Yujin said, "If Mr. Ye is relieved about this matter, leave it to me."

"Then it's hard work, Miss Su." Ye Yongwang handed over his hand, "I'm just thinking that when we do this business, we also distribute uniform clothes to the beggars. How about we give names and numbers to everyone, so that it's okay

Be more standardized.”

"Since this matter was proposed by Miss Su, why not give it the name by Miss Su?"

In this way, when the county annals are compiled, it will appear more meaningful and the contribution of Su Yujin can be reflected.

Those who do practical things and benefit others will be remembered forever!

"Master Ye said so, then I won't refuse." Su Yujin thought for a while, "What do you think of the name Scud, Master Ye?"

Scud?

After Ye Yongwang muttered these three words for a while, he nodded repeatedly, "I remember that the ancients said, 'The formations under the Helan Mountain are like clouds, and feathers are heard chatting day and night.' In ancient times, urgent military documents were usually stuck on the corner of the envelope.

A feather is called a feather. Sometimes people with excellent foot strength are asked to find a way to reach places where horses cannot reach. Those people are very fast and can walk as fast as flying, just like what Miss Su said about scud."

"These beggars want to make a living by relying on their feet. Naturally, the faster their feet are, the better. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as scuds. It has a more encouraging effect and is indeed excellent."

Ye Yongwang rushed to Su Yujin and cupped his hand, "Miss Su is so knowledgeable and well-informed that she is admirable."

Su Yujin, "..."

After ruling out the business of Tong Zi and Feng Zi, she thought of a three-character word most related to running errands. She really didn't think that much about it.

"Master Ye, you are so complimentary." Su Yujin waved her hands hurriedly.

"Miss Su is too modest." Ye Yongwang handed over his hand again, the admiration on his face becoming more and more obvious.

"The formations are like clouds under the Helan Mountain, and the feathers are heard flying day and night" is borrowed from Wang Wei's "Old General's Journey". The word "Scud" comes from the ancient postal service system. This word existed in ancient times, and there is even more "Scud" in "Water Margin"

The allusion of "Scud", but the dynasty of its origin is not clear. For the sake of plot, this article will not study it in detail~
