Another month passed.

In the evening, Huo Xiaotian still brought the old beggar the food he wanted, Italian-style lobster noodles, Australian lobster, with Italian-style noodles, so that the price of this delicacy easily skipped the 2,000 yuan mark.

After the old beggar had eaten and drunk enough, his attitude towards Huo Xiaotian suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

After being silent for a long time, the old beggar looked at Huo Xiaotian with a pair of cloudy eyes, "Not bad, young man, you have withstood my test, say, what do you want in return?" ”

Huo Xiaotian didn't seem to be surprised, all this seemed to be in his expectation, he just looked at the old beggar with a smile: "Uncle, I said, I don't want anything from you, I just want to ask you, how can we make a community better serve the people and let many people in need live a better life?"

Now that society has developed, the country's wealth is more, but the distribution of this wealth is not even, many wealth has gone to the hands of a very small number of people, and most people are still struggling to survive.

I wonder how wealth can be distributed to as many people as possible under the principle of fairness, so that everyone can prosper together, instead of having only a very small number of people eat meat and let the majority drink thin soup. ”

When the old beggar heard this, he was slightly stunned, and his brows were tightly locked.

He didn't expect that Huo Xiaotian's question would be so profound and sharp, and this question seemed to be a very prominent and sensitive issue in this society.

The old beggar pondered for a long time. He shook his head regretfully. "Young man. Your problem is too profound for me to solve. ”

"Well, I know it's a difficult question to answer, but I'll try to find out." Huo Xiaotian said with a light sigh.

"Young man, I didn't expect that you would be young and have the world in mind. This doesn't seem to match your age, and a little doll of your age is either playing games online, or trying to hook up with little girls, why are you worried about the country? The old beggar asked with a smile.

"The game is virtual, and if you play too much, you will only waste your time, and hooking up with a little girl is irresponsible for your feelings, and it is also very boring, and life is a lifetime. It's just a few decades, if you don't do something for the country and the people. Isn't this life vain? Huo Xiaotian said.

"Well, that's a good point." The old beggar couldn't help but applaud.

"By the way, old man, I see that you are in good spirits, and I am afraid that you are not very old, why don't you find a job to do it, but beg?" Huo Xiaotian asked strangely.

"Looking for a job? It's better to beg, at least you have a smiling face, and others can reward you with a steamed bun, if you work for someone, you are wagging your tail and begging, and others may not take you in their eyes, and it is impossible for me to make money by selling my dignity. The old beggar craned his neck and said emotionally.

"I see? Now it is true that some people rely on their social conditions to be better, and there is no one in their eyes, especially to their subordinates, and their attitude is much more arrogant, but this is also a common phenomenon, in which unit, there are such people, why should the old man bother with that kind of short-sighted person? Huo Xiaotian smiled and comforted.

"Young man, one must not be arrogant, but one cannot be without pride, even if it is begging, you must have dignity, you know? People can starve to death, they can die of thirst, they can freeze to death, but dignity must not be discarded.

This is the most important thing for a person to exist in this world, dignity can be conquered, can be trampled on, but must not give up, dignity is the backbone of a nation, everyone has self-esteem, dignity, this nation will prosper, if everyone lives without self-esteem, it is no different from slaves, in the long run, there is no hope for this nation, understand? The old beggar said righteously.

"Hehe, yes, people should have dignity, if there is no dignity, it is indeed no different from slaves." Huo Xiaotian said with a smile.

"So, don't look at me as a beggar, but I am also a dignified beggar, you can not give me food, but you can't insult my personality, I can starve to death, but I can't lose my backbone." The old beggar said.

"The old man is quite right, but if you beg like this, won't you always go hungry?" Huo Xiaotian asked.

"If you're hungry, you're hungry, and I'm not going to beg twice with the same person." The old beggar said with sharp eyes.

When Huo Xiaotian heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "That old man has asked me many times." ”

"I don't count with you, you gave it to me voluntarily, I didn't ask you." The old beggar rolled his eyes and said.

"Haha, okay, it's my choice, but it's not a way for the old man to go on like this, I have a friend who runs a welfare home, and there are some old people who are about the same age as you in it, I want the old man to go to the welfare home to live, I don't know if the old man is willing?" Huo Xiaotian asked cautiously.

"Welfare home? I don't go, I don't have money, how can people want me? The old beggar said.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, I'll deal with it, if you want, I'll arrange for you to go in as soon as possible, it's about to be winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, you're out alone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, the accommodation conditions in the welfare home are better, at least you can't freeze, you can't be hungry." Huo Xiaotian said with a smile.

When the old beggar heard this, he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, looked at Huo Xiaotian with cloudy eyes, and looked at him blankly for a long time, "Young man, are you serious, or are you pretending?" ”

"What does the old man think?" Huo Xiaotian asked with a smile.

"We met in Pingshui, but you are so kind to me, I really don't know what to say." The old beggar looked at Huo Xiaotian and said.

"If you don't mind, sir, can you tell me the reason why you sighed at the sea two months ago? You say that this is the last prosperity of Blue Bird City, what do you mean? Huo Xiaotian asked tentatively.

"This? Do you wonder? The old beggar asked with a smile.

"Well, the younger generation is dull, please give me some guidance." Huo Xiaotian asked modestly.

"Look at Jade Bird City, more than a hundred years ago, it was still a small fishing village, why did it become the most prosperous and wealthy city in Dongshan Province more than a hundred years later?

And that's not even because of the convenience of the port?

However, in the future, the advantages here may not be very obvious, in order to maintain a strong steel production capacity, our Celestial Empire will continue to export high-speed rail to the outside, and high-speed rail can revitalize and drive the economy of inland areas.

Now that our high-speed rail has been exported to Europe, South Asia and South America, more countries will join in the next step.

If the Asia-Europe high-speed railway is connected, then the era of sea power will return to the era of right of way, and in the future, railway transportation will replace maritime transportation. The old beggar analyzed reasonably. (To be continued......)
