Hearing Xiaocao's words, Qin Chuan smiled slightly, then stroked Xiaocao's head and said, "Xiaocao, this is a matter for the imperial court, and we can't help it." ”

"However, it is possible to hire some people to work in the cement mines. It can help some of the victims. ”

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Xiaocao said happily: "Dad is so great, thank you Dad!" ”

"By the way, Dad, if you are a senior official of the imperial court, will there be a better way!"

Qin Chuan smiled slightly and said, "If Dad is a senior official of the imperial court, maybe he can implement the method of cash-for-work." Let these disaster victims build water conservancy and take care of food every day, and only need to give them a small amount of wages to let them live. ”

"At the same time, the Yicang held by the imperial court is also a good idea. But there is no way! Those rich businessmen have money and food at home. But they refused to donate. ”

"What to do? In fact, there is a very simple way, which is to set up a merit list in Chang'an City. Whoever donates more money and food will engrave their names at the top of the merit list. ”

"If you give less, the name is below. In Chang'an City, how many wealthy businessmen and wealthy families, if they want face, they can only donate more. ”

"I think that only the donations of wealthy businessmen and wealthy families in Chang'an City will be enough for this disaster relief."

Hearing her father's approach, Xiaocao's eyes couldn't help but light up with excitement.

I couldn't help but say, "Dad is amazing, Dad is amazing!" By the way, Dad, you have such a good way, why don't you tell the court? ”

Hearing Xiaocao's words, Qin Chuan smiled, then rubbed Xiaocao's little head, and then said, "Your father is just an empty shell viscount, where can he reach the heavens?" ”

Is this official so well deserved?

Every day is tiring and tiring, and you have to be careful of other people's calculations.

Where is it comfortable to be a carefree lord?

Of course, this is naturally not something that can be said to Xiaocao.

lest you teach the children badly.

……

On the second day, Qin Chuan decided to recruit some people to supplement the cement factory.

At the cement plant, there is a serious shortage of people.

Qin Shui recruited twenty or thirty workers, and the progress was very slow.

And now, because of a major drought, there is an influx of refugees, and it is possible to recruit many people.

And the wages are cheap.

Early the next morning, Qin Chuan and Xiaocao went to the porridge shed they set up.

Chang'an City has four city walls, and each city wall has three city gates.

There are a total of twelve city gates, and outside each city gate, large and small porridge sheds are set up.

There are many nobles in Chang'an City.

Those wealthy aristocrats may do all the bad things on weekdays.

But every time there is a disaster year, I am willing to give up the porridge, probably to seek peace of mind.

Qin Chuan and Princess Changle set up a porridge shed, in the corner, and went to the eye.

Of course, Princess Changle's porridge shed was not set up in the name of the princess.

However, their porridge is the thickest cooked, and it will never fall down with chopsticks.

In each bowl of porridge, you can also add a small piece of pickles to it.

Therefore, when their porridge shack started to produce porridge, it was able to attract a large number of victims.

This time, they had just arrived, and all of a sudden, a large number of victims poured in.

While helping, Xiaocao looked at the porridge shed of Princess Changle next to her.

It's a pity that Princess Changle didn't come today, and Xiaocao's eyes couldn't help showing disappointment.

Today, in front of the porridge shed in Qinjiazhuang, there is an additional recruitment sign.

The vast majority of the victims at the scene were illiterate.

I can't help asking:

"Look, what's on that sign?"

"Who is literate? Come and read it, isn't it any good? ”

Among the victims, however, there were a few literate people.

I couldn't help but come out of the crowd and read it out loud:

Recruitment: The cement factory recruits 100 workers, who are in charge of food and housing, three meals a day, and three cents a day, as long as they are young and strong.

Sanwen's salary is indeed not high.

In the Qinchuan Cement Factory, the recruited ordinary kiln workers from other villages are paid five yuan.

The salary of the people in Qinjiazhuang is ten yuan.

The salary of three cents can be said to be very low.

But at this time, it can be said that it is a workshop of conscience to be able to give three cents of wages.

The vast majority of workshops are only in charge of food at this time, and they don't pay a penny.

The salary of three cents is still very attractive to these disaster victims.

For a time, many young and strong victims came to sign up.

Qin Shan was next to him, in charge of registration.

However, not all young people come to sign up for work.

There are also some who shook their heads when they heard that they were recruiting potters, but they were reluctant to come.

Seeing this scene, Xiaocao was very strange and incomprehensible.

She couldn't help but ask a strong man: "Uncle, what about recruiting workers over there, you pay three cents every day, don't you sign up?" ”

I saw that strong man, holding a bowl of sticky rice porridge in his hand, grinning and showing his charred teeth, and said with a smile: "This bowl of porridge can be mixed with half full." ”

"Then walk a few more porridge sheds, and you will be able to eat in a round belly. Then lie on the ground and bask in the sun, sleep beautifully, isn't he fragrant? It's good to eat and drink, why do you want to run to do coolies? ”

This answer greatly surprised Xiaocao's expectations.

She looked at the strong man who left with the porridge bowl, biting her lip, her eyes full of tears.

At this time, Qin Chuan was at the recruitment site, but he didn't see this scene.

At this time, a young man with a big shoulder and a round waist walked over, and asked angrily, "Do you have enough to eat here?" ”

What others ask is when the wages will be paid, and whether they will be able to do so.

This young man is strange, and he asks whether he is full or not.

Qin Shan said with a smile: "Naturally, it is open to eat, and it is full." ”

The young man suddenly smiled and said, "That's good, I'll sign up too." ”

Qin Shan asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Xue Li."

Xue Li? Qin Chuan next to him faintly felt that this name was a little familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't remember where I heard it, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

However, these 100 young men quickly recruited all the manpower.

After all, it was really lucky for these victims to have a place to work.

On the way back, Qin Chuan saw that Xiaocao was sullen, with a gloomy face and a deflated mouth, looking unhappy.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but pick her up and asked with concern, "Xiaocao, who made you unhappy?" Tell Daddy, Daddy calls the shots for you. ”

Xiaocao shook her head and said, "Dad, no." I just saw an uncle who was strong, but he would rather eat porridge than work, and I just couldn't understand that! ”
