Chapter 5: The Difficulties of the Displaced People
Chen Fan finished his cultivation and got out of bed to prepare to feed the horses in the stable, when at this moment, the sound of horses outside the door sounded, and the horses that were led out by Long Qingyun and others came back.
Long Qingyun and the others threw the horses outside, glanced at Chen Fan fiercely, and then turned to leave, perhaps because Uncle Wu had warned a few people, and several people did not embarrass Chen Fan.
Long Qingyun and the others turned to leave, and a voice came: "Third brother, why don't I find an opportunity to give this kid some color, teach this kid a lesson, and let him know that we don't want to mess with it!"
Long Qingyun snorted noncommittally, and his footsteps gradually moved away.
Chen Fan didn't care about the threat of those people, even if he cared, it was useless, he was powerless now, he was not the opponent of those people, the only thing he could do was to succeed in absorbing qi as soon as possible and become a monk, and when the time came, even if he was not Long Qingyun's opponent, he could have the power to protect himself.
Chen Fan led the horse to the stable and tied it up, turned around and inadvertently saw several deep scars on the back of the horse, Chen Fan was shocked, and checked the horses sent by Long Qingyun and several people one by one, and the horses were all scarred.
Chen Fan said angrily: "I deceived people too much, and I actually poured my anger on these horses, which is really worse than animals." ”
Chen Fan stroked the forehead of the horse and said softly: "Poor horse, I will never lend you to those animals in the future." ”
Chen Fan took care of the horses carefully, returned to the bed and continued to sense the aura that seemed to be absent.
In the middle of the night, Chen Fan opened his eyes and said, "It shouldn't be, the aura I can feel is already very strong, why can't I catch it?"
Chen Fan groped for his own cultivation, but he always felt that he was too slow, and he couldn't help but be discouraged after a day and two nights.
But if you let others know that he only used half a day to have a sense of qi, and if he felt the existence of aura, I am afraid that it will make people's jaws drop, some people spend months or even half a year to find the sense of qi may not be able to find it, but he only used half a day, if this is still slow, then how can others live?
Chen Fan couldn't take his breath for a long time, and he was not in a hurry, so he didn't meditate and practice again in the second half of the night, but covered his head and slept to lay a good foundation for tomorrow's practice.
Yingcheng, is a second-rate city of the country, the three major private forces in the city plus the Yingcheng government that has been neutral, so that Yingcheng under the influence of the three major forces faintly has a three-legged posture, the Long family in the west of the city controls a quarter of the territory of Yingcheng, the Zhao family in the north of the city is much stronger than the Long family, the territory controlled is slightly more than Longyan, the strongest is the Zhang family in the south of the city, the strength is close to the Yingcheng government, and there is a faint trend of the first largest family in the city.
Recently, due to the wrath of the sky, it rained heavily for several months, so that all the production in Yingcheng was almost paralyzed, the fertile land was washed away by the flood, and a large number of homeless people outside the city poured into Yingcheng.
"I heard that there is a third lady in Longfu in the west of the city who is very benevolent, has a bodhisattva heart, and often helps beggars, why don't we go to the west of the city to take refuge in Longfu!"
"Hehe, take refuge? We don't have anything, the best thing to say is to take refuge, and the bad thing to say is to beg in the past......"
"Anyway, as long as the third lady stutters, she won't starve to death!"
"I just hope that the third young lady is really as merciful as the legend, and that she doesn't drive us away like the others......"
In the city, there were the voices of the displaced people everywhere, and the other three families couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the displaced people flocking to the west of the city.
And the Long family has already made a mess at this time.
In the Longjia meeting hall, each person was arguing, and one person was arguing with no boundary.
"That's enough! I'm here for you to come up with ideas, not for you to quarrel!" Long Hao, who was sitting in the first place, slapped the table and shouted.
The head of the family was angry, and naturally no one dared to talk much, so they shut up and sat quietly in their places.
"Second brother, you say it first!" Long Hao glanced at the people below who were blushing and thick-necked, and pointed to the slightly older second brother and said.
"Big brother, if you want me to say anything about this matter, then I will say it bluntly, this matter has to start with the third lady, on weekdays, the third miss always helps those beggars from the back door, so that today's homeless people come to the wind, and on weekdays, the third miss always keeps the third miss away from those who save lives, the third miss doesn't listen, and now it's causing trouble!"
"That's what you all mean, don't you? Think this incident is caused by Qing'er?" Long Hao said as he looked around.
The crowd was silent, apparently acknowledging the claim.
"Qing'er, since everyone thinks it's your fault, then you get up and talk about it!" Long Hao looked back at Long Qingyao.
Long Qingyao is Miss Long San, and she is also a living Bodhisattva in the mouth of the homeless people in the city.
"Father, it's not necessarily a bad thing for me to say about this matter!" Long Qingyao stood up and saluted and said.
"What do you say?" Long Hao looked at Long Qingyao with some doting and motioned for her to continue.
"This time it seems that our Long family has suffered a loss, and a large number of displaced people have poured into our territory, which will inevitably have an impact on our territory, but this is superficial. Long Qingyao Kaikai talked.
"This time the wrath of the heavens, affected the whole world, it is not only our Ying City, the whole world is suffering from the impact of the homeless, although there are rumors that are not good for today's saints, but today's saints are a generation of heroes, it is impossible to be blocked by this small rumor, when he returns to suppress those who have bad intentions, he will definitely make a drastic move to rectify the world, although we should be a second-rate city, but not far from the imperial city, if we can solve the problem of the displaced people this time, we will have three major benefits!" Long Qingyao was quite pointed, and said.
"Oh, what are the three major benefits?" Long Hao became interested, originally wanting to see Qing Yao's coping ability, but he didn't expect her to be so talkative.
"One of them, and the most obvious benefit, is that the reputation of our Long family will far exceed that of the other two or even the city lord's mansion, as long as our Long family wins the hearts of the people of Yingcheng, in the future, this Yingcheng is not our Long family's final say?"
"Second, we can use this incident to negotiate with the other two families and the City Lord's Mansion, now our Long family's territory is the smallest, if we can solve this displacement, let the three of them cut the land, if they don't agree, threaten them to save their lives to their territory, I don't believe they dare to disagree. ”
"Third, that is, the biggest benefit, in the future, the current saint has pacified the world, and looking back at the handling of the displaced people everywhere, it is bound to impress our Long family, and it will be of great benefit to our Long family to enter the imperial city at that time. ”
"Qing'er is right, but the most important thing is how to solve the problem of the current homeless people?" Long Hao was a little puzzled.
"The most important thing at the moment is to make the displaced people self-sufficient!" Long Qingyao said firmly.
"Joke, now that the homeless people have a problem eating, how can they be self-sufficient?" Long Qingyun sneered.
"Third brother, it's really not wrong to say that you are a frog at the bottom of the well. Long Qingyao sneered at Long Qingyun and sneered.
"Father, I have a plan to solve the current problem of the homeless. ”
"Say it quickly. Long Hao said with some excitement.
"Our Long family is in charge of the west of the city, outside the west of the city is just the place where the Yi River flows, now the two banks of the Yi River are flooded, but the water potential is decreasing, we can recruit displaced people to build embankments and dams, the water of the Yi River is controlled, the farmland flooded by the river will become fertile land, and then encourage the displaced people to open up the wasteland and farm, and then solve the food difficulty, what we have to do now is to give them food, give a little meager wages, and let them work, build a lot of construction, and expand the territory of my Long family. Long Qingyao said slowly.
"Yes, what Qing'er said does make sense, now is the time for the lowest price of labor, we can let go and do it, that is, to solve the problem of the displaced people, but also to let our Long family's previous stranded works because of labor start again, and this matter will be handed over to Qingyao to do. ”
Long Hao made a final decision and decided on Long Qingyao's proposal.
"Since this matter was proposed by Qing Yao, then Qing Yao will carry it out, do you have any objections?"
There was no sound in the chamber.
"Okay, since that's the case, Qing'er will go and prepare one day!" Long Hao finished speaking, ending this Long family discussion.
"Congratulations to Miss Three!" Uncle Wu said on the side.
"If it weren't for this catastrophe, how could so many people have been displaced?" Long Qingyao sighed.
"Miss is really a bodhisattva!" Uncle Wu sighed.
