Chapter 475: Distribution
Outside Xinghan City, a large cauldron has been set up, and porridge is boiling inside.
People who have been hungry for a long time can't eat some food that is too hard directly, so Lu Chensheng specially asked people to cook porridge and prepare it outside.
Seeing the hungry people approaching, the soldiers on the side stepped forward to maintain order.
"All in line! Don't scramble, there's something for everyone! ”
The soldiers held the cold and shining blades in their hands to deter them, and several cauldrons were boiling porridge on the side, so that the people were convinced that they really had a bite to eat, and they were honestly lining up.
As for Lu Chensheng on the side, they didn't even look at it, they only had the cauldron in front of them and the white porridge in them.
A group of hungry people were only skinned and bone-like, and some of them were still carrying some baggage, and they were almost not bent over.
There were a few ignorant children in the crowd, who were at a loss for what to do.
Princess Yuqing also walked out with her, and compared with the victims, the luxurious dress she was wearing was a little dazzling.
"This is the first time I've seen a people who are suffering from hunger."
Princess Yuqing looked at the people in front of her and muttered.
"I don't know how many famines like this there are."
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he echoed.
Princess Yuqing's face was full of complicated colors, and when she came to Xinghan City, she felt that this place was extremely unusual and extremely prosperous.
But in my heart, I just feel that way.
Now seeing the hungry people in front of her, she suddenly felt that the other side of Xinghan City was far more than that.
Lu Chensheng ensured that all the people in the city could eat well and dress well, in the eyes of many people, such conditions were already dreamed of, and they were all things that could not be sought?
Looking at these people in front of you, you can actually understand it.
It's too difficult to do this, not to mention that here before, it was extremely down-and-out, and Lu Chensheng was completely self-made.
In a country as big as Zhou Guo, they can't ensure that all the people live like this, and Lu Chensheng has already done it here.
"I heard it clearly, the dishes and chopsticks in your hands are yours after you receive them, and you have to hold the bowl in your hand when you come to eat the next meal! Don't think you have something to eat if you lose it! ”
The soldiers began to shout out to the people what to do.
The speed of serving porridge was very fast, and many people had already walked aside with dishes and chopsticks to devour it.
"Besides, you can only live outside the city, you are not allowed to enter the city, there are all kinds of wood prepared here, you can build a bed by yourself!
Your house is over there, in rows of houses, with four people living in each room. ”
The soldiers were still talking.
"Why don't you let the people into the city?"
Yuqing only found out at this time that Lu Chensheng actually didn't plan to let these people into the city.
She heard that Lu Chensheng treated the people very well, and the people who had been taken in before were all assigned houses, although they also needed to work to repay the money, but it was better than at this moment, directly letting them live outside!
For a while, Yuqing looked at Lu Chensheng with a puzzled face.
Could it be that the previous rumors are all false?
"I don't know how many hungry people are here, and if these people go into the city, where will they live? As you can see in the city, if these hungry people break into it at will, it will have some bad effects.
When the time comes, even the people in the city will start to be xenophobic.
I need to let them be self-reliant first, and then learn some of the rules in Xinghan City, and when they have almost learned and have the ability, they can enter the city. ”
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he responded directly.
Originally, Lu Chensheng didn't plan to let them go directly into the city, but built a lot of cement houses outside the city to ensure that they would not be frozen if they lived in such houses.
Yuqing suddenly opened her mouth when she heard this, and after thinking about the appearance inside Xinghan City, she was a little silent for a while.
Yes, in Xinghan City, the people today are all gorgeously dressed, as if they are all Confucian students.
If these people were allowed in, who knows what would have happened?
Especially since the number of people has reached tens of thousands, it will not be good to enter the city.
Lu Chensheng's decision was right.
The people outside didn't care so much, and when they heard that they still had houses to live in, they were overjoyed.
Looking at the house, it's not bad!
"I heard it clearly, because you are penniless, for a long time to come, your food and accommodation will depend on Xinghan City, and our shopkeeper will not treat you badly, ensuring that you can eat well and live well.
But in the same way, you need to pay your own labor, to see that there is no land out there?
There is abundant water here, the land is quite fertile, and you will need to cultivate the land and sow seeds at the beginning of spring next year, and when you harvest in the autumn of the next year, you will get fifty copper coins for every acre of land you cultivate, and two acres will be one hundred copper coins.
During this period, the seeds, fertilizers, ploughing oxen and ploughs will be prepared for you, you just need to cultivate with peace of mind, understand? ”
For these people for a year, it is not without a price, Lu Chensheng needs them to cultivate.
This is how the millions of stone of grain are out, and some must be harvested back.
What's more, it is also necessary to let them understand that these grains are not given to them for free, and let them know that it is not easy to come by.
The people listened to it with a different understanding, they had no money and no place to go.
According to what the other party said, you can continue to stay here and have food all the time? And then there is also money to be taken from the arable land?
Fifty copper coins doesn't seem like much, but if you think about it carefully, what you eat this year is someone else's, and the land is also someone else's.
What kind of ploughing cattle and the like, it is all people's, they just contribute some strength, have food and a place to live, and only need to pay some effort themselves.
It's much more comfortable than letting them plow the land themselves!
After the drought, they feel that this arrangement is more desirable to them.
At this time, Princess Yuqing felt that something was wrong.
"Lu Gongzi, fifty copper coins per acre of land doesn't seem like much, but what if the harvest is not good? Give fifty copper coins as well? You must know that this year, it will also need a lot of food for them to eat. ”
Princess Yuqing looked at Lu Chensheng with a little puzzled on her face.
She didn't quite understand what Lu Chensheng was thinking.
It seems that some restriction is missing.
Lu Chensheng smiled slightly when he heard this, he was a smart person in the end, and he sensed something wrong at a glance.
