Fan Yu thinks he is not a bad person, but he can't be a bad person.

Even if you want to help Chen Sheng's family, it is impossible to support each other in vain. He was not noble enough to benefit others without self-interest, and if that were the case, I was afraid that in the end the people who received the help would take it for granted. After a long time, these people will not only not be grateful, but will also have to ask for more, this is human nature.

Instead of letting them get help for nothing, find them something to do.

Chen Laohan glanced at Mr. Zhang, and hurriedly replied: "Master, Brother Zhang knows that my family is all masons. Why don't you leave the repair of the house to my family? ”

Uncle Zhang nodded at Fan Yu and said, "This is true, Brother Chen's craftsmanship is still good, and he is often the leader in Chenzhou, and he is the number one." ”

Fan Yu smiled, "That's fine, then the two suites of my family will be repaired by your Zhang and Chen families." By the way, since Mr. Chen has found you, their family will also live in this courtyard. In addition, I will also pay you a salary for this repair. Combined, there are more than a dozen of your families, and it costs a lot to eat only food every day. If I don't pay according to the work, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it. ”

Chen Laohan's son said at this time: "When our family was in Chenzhou, we could earn a hundred yuan a day by taking a job. Lord, this is a lot of food. ”

Fan Yu immediately sneered, "Okay, my house doesn't need to be repaired, can you please go up to another level?" Originally, it was pitiful to see that your family had no food and clothing, so I found a way to help. Since you have to calculate it according to the salary when you were in Chenzhou, then I really can't afford it. ”

Chen Laohan went up and gave his son a foot, and scolded with a red face: "Bastard, the main family is saving our family's life!" It's good for you to talk about the wages of Chenzhou. As long as the Lord family lets our family live, this is a great kindness! Why don't you hurry up and kneel down and make amends to the master's family! ”

was scolded by his father, Chen Laohan's son didn't dare not listen, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Fan Yu to make amends.

"Lord's family, it's the little ghost who is greedy and doesn't know what to do. Please don't be angry, spare me this time. Chen Laohan's son knew the severity at this time, and kowtowed in a hurry.

Fan Yu looked at the other party and sighed, and helped him up, "Chenzhou's year is not good, everyone knows about this." My family is not rich, and I can't help you much. However, you as an adult, you can still afford one pound of food a day, and if a child takes a hand, half a pound of food a day. In this case, it is not a problem to support it for a month or two. In this way, you can have an opinion. ”

In the granary of Fan Yu's family, there were originally thousands of catties of grain, plus later bought forty stones of wheat, a total of 5,000 catties of grain. These grains support more than ten people in these two families, and they are more than half a year, but he can't be full of words.

"The lord's family is benevolent and righteous, we have no opinion, as long as the two families can survive, it is the life-saving grace of the lord's family!" Zhang Laohan and Chen Laohan hurriedly responded.

Zhang Tiansheng said at this time: "Master, I just chopped a load of firewood, and I was about to send it to you." As a result, I met Uncle Chen, and I blamed me, it was I who caused trouble to the master's family. ”

Hearing this, Fan Yu knew the cause and effect, and when he saw the people in this courtyard, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

It's only been less than three days, and the family has already taken in more than a dozen people.

Originally, the stepmother had good intentions and let herself use food to envelop some people to protect the family business. But looking at it like this, I am afraid that if there are more people, Fan Yu will be poor. The idea of the stepmother, that is what only everyone can do, is a small family, and the population is thin and the family background is thin. If this development is allowed to continue, I am afraid it will become a joke.

Fan Yu felt that he should have thought of another countermeasure earlier, otherwise he would have gone to beg for food before Bao Zheng passed by Caoqiao Town.

Thinking of this, Fan Yu left the two families of Zhang Laohan and Chen Laohan and walked to the street outside.

At first, I didn't think anything of it, but when Fan Yu took a closer look on the street, it seemed that Caoqiao Town was also much depressed, and some small food vendors had disappeared. That's not all, occasionally you can see one or two homeless people walking down the street.

Shocked in his heart, Fan Yu knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and he had to hurry up and find a way. But in his eagerness, he didn't have any good ideas.

He walked with his head down, but suddenly he heard someone calling him.

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, why is there anyone here?"

Fan Yu looked back, but it was the shopkeeper Wu of Taibai Building who was greeting him.

"Shopkeeper Wu, isn't your restaurant busy, how can you have time?" Fan Yu asked.

Shopkeeper Wu shook his head and said: "There is a famine in Chenzhou, and our Caoqiao Town has also eaten melons." The price of grain, meat and vegetables have risen, and there are no rich and noble families in Caoqiao Town, so there is no way to do Taibailou's business. Rest for a while, and then talk about it later. ”

"I see, shopkeeper Wu, you said that there won't be a famine in Caoqiao Town." Fan Yu said again.

"Of course not, this year's summer grain harvest is a lot, and the food left at home is enough to survive the year." Shopkeeper Wu said with a sense of superiority: "As long as the Jialu River does not send water, autumn will be a good harvest." ”

Listening to the words of Shopkeeper Wu, the word Jialuhe suddenly made Fan Yu's eyes light up. Four words came to his mind, water conservancy project.

Fan Yu had a smile on his face, "Then I wish the shopkeeper another bumper harvest this year, I still have something to do, so I'll go first!" ”

Shopkeeper Wu was chatting about it, and he still wanted to inquire from Fan Yu again, if there were any other good recipes. But he didn't want Fan Yu to say a word, so he slipped away.

Back home, Fan Yu told his stepmother about the hungry people, and said hello again, saying that he was going to Xihua County.

didn't dare to delay, he immediately hired a carriage and went straight to Xihua County to see Wang Feng and Wang Zhubo.

When he arrived outside the county yamen, the person guarding the door had changed, but he had also heard of Fan Yu's name, so he didn't dare to slack off and immediately went in to report.

It's not that he is so powerful, but when Fan Yu came to the county government last time, because of his affairs, Liu Zhutou and a group of party members had a big change. No one may know about it elsewhere, but in the county government, it is the person everyone is talking about.

Soon Wang Feng came out, and when he saw Fan Yu, he laughed and said, "Brother Fan, if you come this time, do you still want to ask me to tell you about your in-laws again?" ”

Fan Yu laughed, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Don't dare, last time it took a lot of effort for Lord Wang, how can you repeatedly make unreasonable demands." This time I came, there is indeed an important matter, and I would like to ask Lord Wang to take a closer look. ”

"Let's go first." Wang Feng let Fan Yu enter the county office, sat down in his public house, and asked, "Look at what you said seriously, just say anything directly." ”

"That's right, there has been a famine in Chenzhou recently, and many hungry people have fled to our Xihua County to beg for a living. Caoqiao Town is not far from Chenzhou, these hungry people have arrived one after another, and now the price of food has also risen, but the local people are very nervous. Fan Yu looked at Wang Feng's face and seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so he changed his tone and said: "This kind of thing, the imperial court originally had its own disposal, and I don't need a young man to put a beak." But some time ago, Lord Wang didn't help me a little. Therefore, I have come to offer advice to Lord Wang in order to accomplish a great achievement. In time, adults will surely be promoted by virtue of this skill. ”
