Today's Xiangtan City is peaceful, although the people are still poor, but they are no longer hungry, unclothed, and there is already a god in their eyes. is no longer the kind of zombie-like insensitivity, or just the King Kong-like gnashing of teeth, but there is some hope for life.

The rich people have also changed a little, and seeing the commoners is no longer like seeing a leper dog, or even worse than a leper dog. While there is certainly no discrimination, at least it is less obvious and somewhat restrained. Some kind-hearted rich people didn't need Shi Bin's encouragement and work, and they opened a small porridge field outside the city.

According to them, it is to accumulate virtue for their children and grandchildren to keep them safe, which is of course a reason, the ancients have always been superstitious. But this is just a small excuse, the ultimate goal of their doing so is to get closer to the core of Shi Bin's interest group, from Chairman Deng and a few business tycoons who first supported Shi Bin, they saw the fact that several bigwigs made a lot of money.

Black cats and white cats, if you catch a mouse, you are a good cat, Deng Dada's famous sentence reminds Shi Bin that he doesn't have to worry about those details, and it is best to benefit the overall situation.

From Wang San and Liu Xiancheng's official documents, I learned that these famous families also initiated kindness, and he also planned to see what was going on. After all, hearing is false and seeing is believing, not to doubt the report of the two of them, but that the standards between people are not uniform, and he wants to see how good these people are.

Of course, he can't go out in an official uniform, but every time he dresses sloppy and tattered, he is called 'close to the masses', and he can barely endure it before, but now he can't stand it.

He is a physique that sweats like rain when he moves, so it is easy to be sweaty, and the clothes themselves are sloppy, which is naturally even more uncomfortable, even if he can accept it, he will definitely have to be stared at and reprimanded by Jia Ling and Sai Xishi when he goes home, and he will say that he has no taste, and he does not know the posture that a person who maintains a high position should have.

Because of the lessons of the two wives, Shi Bin, a somewhat macho guy, couldn't stand it, so this time he decided to change the way he wore it, at least clean.

So he summoned Xu Feng in to seek his opinion, after all, he was smart and could be a staff officer. As soon as he heard that his adults were going out to do a "micro-service private visit" again, Xu Feng had to admire Shi Bin's ability to toss, and he also had to admire his conscientiousness and dedication to the people.

As the saying goes, 'the power of example is infinite', although Shi Bin's role model is not very good, and it is somewhat inferior, but at least it is positive. The idea of Xu Feng wanting to help Shi Bin was also greatly raised, and he went all out to be a staff officer.

"My lord, in my opinion, you can try to pretend to be a Taoist priest or a fortune teller." Xu Feng said with a smile.

Traveling Taoist priest? Fortune teller? This is really good, monks and Taoists are all outsiders, they will not attract the attention of others and they must be clean, and the fortune teller will not be too dirty, otherwise no one else will go to fortune telling.

This is indeed a good way, Shi Bin immediately asked Xu Feng to prepare a set of fortune teller equipment for himself, but unfortunately there are no sunglasses, and he can't pretend to be a blind man, although there are definitely no sunglasses now, Shi Bin thought regretfully after dressing up.

Just let Xu Feng show himself for a long time, until Xu Feng said for sure: There is absolutely no loophole, and Shi Bin is willing to go out. Afraid that Jia Ling and the others would see it, he didn't dare to go through the front door, so he could only slip out through the back door.

The cold wind was cold and dusty, looking at the ordinary people still shivering from the cold, Shi Bin's heart was like a knife, although it was no longer unclothed, but in this cold winter, even if the clothes were covered enough, what was the use? This perception made Shi Bin affirm that the people's requirements were very low, too low. If he hadn't come out today, he would never have felt the bitterness and pain.

"Xu Feng, is everyone else like this?" Shi Bin asked a little unbearably.

Knowing what Shi Bin was referring to, Xu Feng said very sincerely: "Adults don't have to blame themselves, and they shouldn't blame themselves, it is already a great luck that they can not starve to death in this world, and it is a blessing accumulated in several lifetimes to survive in Xiangtan under the rule of adults." ”

It's all frozen and purple, and it's almost an ice sculpture, but it's still a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes? If it weren't for Xu Feng's sincerity and not like a lie, Shi Bin would definitely be furious.

In Xu Feng's opinion, his own adult is the reincarnation of a Buddha, and he will think about the people first in everything, so he must be serious about something, and he can't let Shi Bin be kind indiscriminately, "My lord, if my subordinates don't flee to Xiangtan, they will definitely starve to death." I was hungry for four days, and I would have died of hunger and cold had it not been for the porridge you opened outside the city. The little one knows that Commander Wang often uses a word when writing official documents, as if he is hungry and floating all over the field... ”

knew that Xu Feng was talking about "starving all over the field", but Shi Bin was not in a hurry to be a Chinese teacher to correct pronunciation mistakes, but continued to listen to him. Wanted to see what he was trying to say.

"Commander Wang told me that it meant that there were dead bodies everywhere. Along the way, his subordinates often wanted to beg for food, but found that not only did they have no food, but even the villages were empty one by one. So, they are lucky to survive. Being able to eat a full meal here is the accumulation of virtue on the ancestors, and it is nothing to be frozen. If you don't believe it, do you want to go down and test it? ”

Anyway, he also came out to understand the lives of the people at the bottom, and he also wanted to know what they thought of him, so he immediately agreed to Xu Feng's proposal.

Xu Feng was dressed as a little apprentice at this time, although he was strong but respectful, and he would not let those refugees doubt his identity.

Walking up to a middle-aged man who was about forty years old but had gray hair, the man looked easy to talk to, and he smiled and said to the man, "Big brother, can you sit here?" ”

Seeing Xu Feng's appearance as such a little apprentice, he was quite polite, and the man would definitely not have bad relations with him, but most of him was an introvert who was used to being silent, and he didn't speak, but just moved his body to the side, giving up a small piece of open space as Xu Feng's accommodation.

"Big brother, may I ask your surname?" Xu Feng asked softly.

"King." The man surnamed Wang opened his mouth and spat out a word and stopped talking.

Touching such a guy who can't kick a fart with three feet, Xu Feng is a little difficult.

Normal communication doesn't know when we will be able to ask the man surnamed Wang what he really thinks of Shi Bin, especially since it is difficult for a person like him to take the initiative to express his opinion. So he had to find a way to get the man to speak out.

Xu Feng is still a clever young man, and he is also 'frowning and calculating'. fired a series of cannons at the man surnamed Wang: "Brother Wang, where are you from, how did you get to Xiangtan?" The younger brother also came to Xiangtan with my master, but I don't know why the master came here, and he didn't say it after asking a few times, only that he was blessed... ”

"Yiyang. Blessed are you. The man surnamed Wang said as he rubbed his frostbite-covered hands.

Xu Feng immediately showed a distrustful smile, squinted at him and said, "Brother Wang, don't tell lies, I'm not a spy of the official family, I don't want to trick your words." It's just that you're all frozen like this, and you don't know where your next meal is, how can you call it blessed? I don't believe ... ”

It must be said that Xu Feng is quite talented in acting, and he plays the suspicion on this face very realistically. However, the man's next reaction surprised Xu Feng, but he was also very happy, because he roared angrily: "I said that being blessed is blessed, looking at you like this, you are a white-eyed wolf who doesn't know what to do, get away from me!" ”

Just by the roar of the man surnamed Wang, Xu Feng pretended to be panicked again, and cast a look of help to the people on the side.

At this time, a person who looked like a sister-in-law came out and explained to Xu Feng that the man's family came here from Yiyang, and along the way, his parents starved to death, his daughter-in-law died of illness, and he and his son were left in Tanzhou. If it weren't for the Xiangtan Shixian Order to open a porridge field, it is estimated that his whole family would have met the king of Hades.

Now that he knew the reason, Xu Feng immediately apologized to the man surnamed Wang, thinking that Shi Bin, who was not far away, should have also heard this, so he returned to Shi Bin under the pretext that he wanted to leave with his master.

"Your Excellency, you heard me. Do we still want to go to the porridge field to see it? In the opinion of his subordinates, there is actually no need, the man's son can survive, and most of the others should be fine. Xu Feng said with certainty.

Hearing the conversation between Xu Feng, the man and the woman just now, Shi Bin knew that there was indeed no major event, and he could rest assured. However, since he came out, he didn't want to go back without doing anything, so he insisted on going to the porridge fields outside the city to have a look.

When he walked to the city gate, he smelled a faint aroma of rice, which made Shi Bin, who was not even hungry, want to taste what the rice porridge in the porridge shop not far away tasted like.

Sitting crookedly against the city wall were many refugees waiting to eat porridge, although they were obviously still very hungry, but they had basic order and were willing to line up.

The emergence of these situations made Shi Bin and Xu Feng very happy, and these refugees no longer rushed up for a bite of food regardless of etiquette, which showed that they already had the confidence to live, and they were no longer the kind of thinking that "dead friends do not die poor".

In order to understand the more detailed and accurate situation, Shi Bin, the "fortune teller", walked to the city gate and talked to an old man. Of course, it would be nice to have food to eat, but he wanted to know who had opened the porridge shop for the longest time, used the best rice, and was the most selfless.

"Uncle, may I ask you why they are sitting here, are they waiting in line for porridge to drink?" Shi Bin asked.

The old man was obviously behind his ear, and he could only hear a little, so Shi Bin had to put his mouth next to the old man's ear and shout with all his might.

After shouting out a sweat, Shi Bin roughly knew that the porridge field had been opened for the longest time by President Deng's family, and although the rice used was old rice, it was not moldy, and the chopsticks could be inserted without falling down, which made these refugees very admired and satisfied.

Vice President Liu also opened a porridge field after him, but the rice used was moldy, and he could not fall down with chopsticks, although the quality of the rice was poor, but he was able to make everyone stutter, and everyone was very grateful to him. Those coal bosses also partnered to open a porridge farm, and the quality was similar to that of Vice President Liu's family, and everyone was very grateful.

Shi Bin deliberately asked at this time: "I heard that these businessmen didn't open porridge very much before, especially that Vice President Liu and the bandits still colluded, and they are bullies?" ”

Immediately, someone said good things about Shi Bin, saying that he had influenced these ruthless guys, tamed them, and made them have a conscience. Of course, Shi Bin didn't come to listen to the praise, so he deliberately said again: "Then do you have any opinions on the current ones?" I, a fortune teller, may be able to fool into the county government and help you bring a message in. ”

This question made some people puzzled, and some suspicious people kept silent. The old man may feel that his time is short, and he is not afraid to say: "I think the porridge field is not good now, and it is easy to contradict." Some people are already saying bad things about Vice President Liu and those coal bosses, thinking that they are not as benevolent as Chairman Deng. ”

The meaning of these words Shi Bin naturally understands that if there is a gap, there will be criticism. Even if you receive a favor, if you receive less favor, you will feel a loss, and you will criticize the person who gave the favor.

"What do you think is better to do, old man? They are all separated, and their strength is not equal, so it's not easy to get it. Shi Bin asked.

"It's simple, you don't have to tell who gives as much as you want, you don't have to tell us the exact number of these refugees, you don't have to make your own decisions. But the porridge shop is operated as a whole, and the county order has to send people. In this way, there is no fear that someone will fill their pockets and cause unnecessary trouble. ”

How much love comes out? This is a new idea. Naturally, he cast another inquiring look at the old man. I'd like him to elaborate.

"Everyone has to have face, and how big the strength is, how big the face is. So even stingy people have a bottom line, otherwise they will be looked down upon. The county orders adults to operate just because adults are honest and authoritative, and they can ensure the normal opening of porridge shops. The old man said with a smile.

Indeed, how much strength will have as much cheekiness as possible, refugees don't know, businessmen still know the details, in order to save face, naturally Shi Bin doesn't have to be a villain, they will coordinate themselves. After thinking of this, Shi Bin said hello to the old man, hummed a little song and returned to the city.
