This is the side of the early onlookers who watched the excitement, and some people sneered: "Come on, Qian Laosan, Zhou Cheng is not your own son at all, do you really think you are someone's father?" ”

Another humane: "That's it, begging a daughter-in-law like Zhou Cheng, it's like your old Qian's ancestral grave is smoking, you are idle all day long, but you force your mother to raise you, and now your mother-in-law is sick, you even robbed her of her rations, are you still human?" ”

Everyone in the audience was filled with righteous indignation, and they all spoke out to condemn the third Qian.

Qian Laosan's face was flushed, and he said inwardly: "This is a certain family matter, what does it have to do with you?" Hugh wants to talk nonsense, quickly disperse ......"

Gu Bei had roughly understood the reason for the matter at this time, his face turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Qian Laosan, what everyone said, is it true?" ”

Qian Laosan was weak-hearted, but he saw that although Gu Bei was gorgeously dressed and extraordinary, he thought that he was the son of a rich and noble family, so he didn't necessarily have any opinions.

He stiffened his neck and said, "What if it's true?" That woman married me, she is my person, I let her live and live, if she wants to die, she must die......"

Gu Beiqi's nose was about to smoke, "So, you even grabbed your mother-in-law's life-saving rations?" ”

"What's your business?"

"What's my business?"

Qian Laosan sneered: "You think you are the prince?" Stunned ......"

Before Qian Laosan finished speaking, Xiao Ran held the horsewhip, jumped off the horse's back, raised his arm, and the whip of the horsewhip let out a sharp whistle, piercing the air, and the whip of "snap" was whipped down according to Qian Laosan's head and face.

"Oops......"

Qian Laosan screamed, covered his head and face, and scolded: "The dog dares to beat Lao Tzu...... Oops!"

Xiao Ran held the whip, whip after whip, and whipped Qian Laosan with all his might.

Is there such a shameless and selfish person in the world?

He was also extremely unhappy with this scumbag who was inferior to the beast, and he dared to scold his uncle and not beat him, he didn't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye had.

After more than a dozen whips, Qian Laosan curled up on the ground, humming and chirping, he couldn't even scream, and the skin and flesh on the whip marks on his body bloomed, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

The boy had been watching, his big eyes glinting with hatred.

When he saw that Qian Laosan was about to be whipped to death, he suddenly rushed over and hugged Xiao Ran's thigh, and begged: "Big brother, spare him......"

Xiao Ran raised the whip high and was slightly stunned: "What did you say?" ”

He really wanted to suck this scum to death!

But this kid just wanted to bite this Qian San to death, how could he intercede with him at this time?

"Although this man is inferior to beasts, if it were not for him, my mother and I would have starved to death..... Your whip is enough for him, big brother, you will spare his life......"

Xiao Ran was stunned, his eyes looked at Gu Bei, and Gu Bei was also stunned.

The boy in front of him was hungry, unclothed, had a big head and a small body, and was obviously malnourished for a long time, but such a little beggar-like child actually said such a coherent thing?

Xiao Ran looked at the boy's dirty, bloodstained little face, and put down the hand holding the whip.

"So-and-so gave you this face, and I will spare him today!"

Gu Bei was very interested in this little boy and asked, "I don't know where your mother is?" ”

"Ahh

The little boy woke up suddenly, got up from the ground, reached out and touched the nosebleed on his face, and ran to a hut by the roadside.

Someone next to him sighed: "This Zhou Wen is a filial son, but it's a pity, I'm afraid his mother won't be able to survive......"

"Yes, what a good person Zhou Wenniang is, she was ruined by this Qian San......"

"Who's to say it isn't? Zhou Wenniang has been in poor health, and overworked, coupled with the drought caused no harvest, she fell ill on the way to the south, and now she has no food and no medicine, how can she survive......

"Even if you stutter, you won't be so ......"

"But what's the solution? Fortunately, the government forced the big families in the city to donate some money and food, but how many victims are there in the city and outside the city? Where can I get relief......"

"You can distribute one gruel for free a day, and if you don't starve to death with this life, even if God opens your eyes......"

Gu Bei felt heavy after hearing this, and looked around, the victims were all yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, and their clothes were not covered.

If this is in modern times, why is this so? The state has long since begun to receive help.

This is the ancient era when human life was like a mustard!

Gu Bei felt that there was a big stone in his heart, which overwhelmed him.

He had ridiculed the era in which he lived countless times before, and he was dissatisfied with this and angry at that, and it was only when he came to ancient times that he understood.

The people's food is the foundation of a country!

It is the supreme achievement of the ruler!

Gu Bei got out of the carriage and asked the group of craftsmen to go back first, and then took Xiao Ran and walked towards the shed of the child named Zhou Cheng.

With so many people in the shacks, most of them illiterate farmers, lacking a sense of self-restraint and starvation, how can they care about public health?

The hidden places in front of and behind the hut are full of human excrement, which happens to be in the summer, and the smell of these filths is exposed to the sun, and it is easy to break out of epidemics. The filth and pickled praise everywhere in the eyes made Gu Bei's chest churn for a while, and he almost wanted to gause.

The group of onlookers didn't know what this noble son was going to do, so they didn't leave, and followed behind to watch the excitement and whisper.

The huts were simply set up on shelves, covered with straw mat rags, and crumbling in the cold wind. Zhou Cheng's shed is even more unbearable.

A broken straw mat was propped up by several wooden poles of varying lengths around it, lying in the hut, the sun shining down.

In a shed of less than five or six square meters, there were seven or eight people, each with a corner, and it seemed that several different families were crowded.

But under the only place that blocked the sun, there was a woman lying down, and Zhou Cheng was kneeling beside the woman, calling softly "Mother......

I don't know if everyone saw that this woman was pitiful and gave up this shady place to her, or whether Qian Laosan's bastard snatched this territory.

The woman was in weak shape, lying on a shabby straw mat, completely lifeless, except for a slightly heaving belly to let people know that she still had a breath.

"Mother, open your eyes and see, my son asked you for a steamed bun...... It's a pity that I was robbed and eaten half by that bastard, but I snatched it back, and I got it for my mother...... Mother...... Whining...... Open your eyes and eat quickly......"

Zhou Cheng cried as he stuffed half of the dusty steamed bun in his hand into the woman's mouth.

The woman still didn't respond, as if she was unconscious.

Gu Bei sighed lightly, and looked at this human tragedy with a little sour eyes.

Since ancient times, no matter the change of dynasty, or natural and man-made disasters, it is always these ant-like people who suffer.

This is an era of total lack of human rights.

The nobles and princely families did not regard these ordinary people as human beings, even these ordinary people themselves did not regard themselves as human beings......

This is the greatest sorrow.

There was a commotion outside the shed.

Someone asked: "Who is the beater, and has he ever escaped?" ”

"No, it's in the hut over there."

"Quickly take a certain person to arrest this person, it's just lawless, and he actually beat people so badly!"

After a while, Gu Bei heard footsteps behind him.

A family general walked out, stopped the man, and asked, "What is the matter with you?" ”

"A certain is a government official of the city, which family are you a citizen of the family, and you dare to stop a certain murderer, could it be that you are also a member of the same party?"

One shouted a loud scolding.

The general said calmly: "A certain person is from Baifu, and my aunt is in the shed." That Qian Lao San is innocent of death, and my aunt will explain this matter to the Fuzun, and he will not bother with Raul and others. ”

The official was slightly startled and asked, "But when is the general of the Zhenguo family?" ”

The general straightened his back and looked proud: "Hmm!"

Before the official could speak, he heard the onlookers talking about it.

"That noble son just now is the uncle of the Bai family?"

"Editian, it's actually the God of Wealth!"

"Everyone is here, it's Aunt Bai who is here......"

"Which Aunt Bai?"

"Which other Aunt Bai is naturally the Aunt Bai that everyone talked about some time ago."

"What do you say? Is that the white aunt who built the thatched house in the bedroom? ”

"Aang, which one else? Isn't it Gu Bei who invented the waterwheel for the benefit of the people......"

As soon as these victims heard that Gu Bei was here, they ran out of their respective sheds and gathered over, all wanting to see the hot topic characters that were on the hot search.

Gu Bei looked at the more and more victims gathered, and his heart was mixed, he didn't expect that he was so famous now.

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation behind him.

"Mother...... Mother, are you awake? ”

Gu Bei looked back, but the woman didn't know if she was awakened by the noise of the victims, and she was slowly opening her eyes.

Those eyes were cloudy and hollow, and they seemed to be lifeless.

But suddenly, these lifeless eyes suddenly burst out with brilliance, and the woman didn't know where she got the strength to get up from the straw mat, and wanted to stand but couldn't, so she gritted her teeth, spread her hair, and crawled to Gu Bei's feet.

The woman was prostrate on the ground, her voice so weak that she could barely hear her.

"Childe, the life of the woman is not long, please take my child...... As long as he is given a meal, even if he is a cow or a horse, a slave or a maidservant...... You can take him in......"

The woman was already weakened, and when she said this, her tired and pale face was sweating like rain and panting.

At this time, Zhou Cheng also ran over and knelt down, hugged Gu Bei's thigh, raised a dirty little face, and cried and begged: "I beg you, save my mother, she is very sick, you can invite her to Langzhong, okay?" It doesn't cost much, I'll make you a cow and a horse...... Please......"

Gu Bei sighed lightly, what else could he say?

Then he turned around and instructed the servant: "Take the mother and son back to the house, and ask for a man for the woman." ”

The woman was relieved and fainted.

Zhou Cheng was startled and hurriedly hugged his mother.

The onlookers did sympathize with Zhou Cheng and his mother at first, and the orphan and widow married Qian Laosan, a bastard, but they were guilty.

But seeing that this lady was actually desperate and was taken in by Gu Bei, she suddenly became sour and jealous.

Someone shouted, "Aunt Bai, can you take me in too...... I'm much more capable than Zhou Cheng's kid, and he still has a leprosy old lady...... Ah...... Who hit me? ”

An old man next to him glared at him and said, "What a bastard! How can you, a leader, do such a thing as a rival with orphans and widows? ”

The man shrunk his neck and did not dare to speak.

Gu Bei glanced around at the victims, he wanted to rescue them, at least not to starve them...... Hey! Don't you need people to build a house? And doesn't the land you bought need to be cultivated?

But...... Can I feed the thousands of refugees here?

You can only help as much as you can! Everything can only be implemented slowly according to the plan.

After making up his mind, Gu Bei walked out of the shed, and the two officials stepped forward to salute respectfully.

"Aunt Bai, although this Qian Lao San is not a thing, it is really ...... for you to accept it."

A servant said in a low voice, and as he spoke, he peeked at Gu Bei's expression, and when Gu Bei showed displeasure, he immediately ran away......

I saw Gu Bei and Yan Yue said: "This money is not as good as the three wolves and dogs, and the birds and beasts, even if they are killed, they will not be wronged!" But don't worry, you won't embarrass you, you wait and take him back to the mansion, and when the time comes, you will go to visit the prefect of Wu and explain the reason. ”

The two officials breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Then according to Aunt Bai's wishes, I will retire first." ”

The two officials put the screaming Qian Laosan in shackles and escorted him back to the palace.

When Gu Bei got into the carriage, he no longer paid attention to the refugees, and with an order, the carriage made a sound of turning and went in the direction of the mansion.

In front of the Yamen of the Defu, Xiao Ran handed over the greeting post, and the official on duty hurriedly ran in, and after a while, he trotted over and said respectfully: "Aunt Bai, Lord Fuzun is invited!"

The official led the way in front of the head, and it was the first time he entered the official office in ancient times, Gu Bei followed behind and looked left and right, quite curious.

The official led Gu Bei to the door of a room, bowed slightly and said a word, then turned around and left.

Gu Bei put his hands behind his back, turned a six-fan screen of rosewood, and saw a person sitting on a sandalwood circle chair.

As soon as he saw Gu Beixin step inside, Wu De stood up from his seat and said with a smile on his face: "How can Aunt Bai come here today?" ”

Who comes often when there is nothing to do, the official word has two mouths, and it is reasonable to say that it is unreasonable!

Gu Bei bowed his hand slightly: "I've seen Lord Fuzun!"

Wu De picked him up and said with a smile: "Aunt Bai, no courtesy!"

After the two exchanged polite words, Wu De asked him about his intentions, Gu Bei pondered for a while, and only after a long time did he sigh lightly, and tell what he had seen and heard outside the city in the future tense.

At the end, he sighed with emotion: "Natural disasters are coming, man-made disasters are coming, and those people are really pitiful." I just don't know how the imperial court will settle these victims? There is still some land outside the city, and he is willing to pay for some simple houses to build them, so that they can have a place to live. When the time comes, they will be hired to farm, and although the output is limited, they do not intend to collect land rent, and they also want to ask the Lord Fuzun to exempt the taxes on those lands, presumably so that those victims of the disaster can have a chance to live. ”

It is certain that he will not collect land rent, and he has no intention of becoming a charter ......

As soon as these words came out, Wu De suddenly stood in awe, actually got up from his seat, and said: "Gu Gongzi is kind-hearted, and he actually doesn't forget the suffering of the market, but he teaches this Ying Tian's parents to be ashamed of heaven and earth, and let Wu replace those disaster victims, thank Gu Gongzi for his regeneration!"

Wu De saw that the people under his jurisdiction were gathered, but they were unable to do anything due to the conditions, and when he heard the desolate and helpless cries of those disaster victims, he was really worried and restless.

Now that Gu Bei is willing to help those victims, how can he not make Wu De ecstatic?

He knew that this Gu Bei had made the Tianxiang dew that swept the city, but he was very rich, as long as he had money, how many victims could not be saved?

But then again, there are more people who are richer than Gu Bei, and how many people are willing to pay for the resettlement of disaster victims?

This is the realm!

Wu De's admired five-body throw!

Gu Bei hurriedly got up, supported Wu De, showed his noble sentiments, and said with a righteous face: "I just did my best to make a small effort, how dare I be such a great gift?" Shame shame shame! ”

I can't help but give myself a thumbs up, these 13 are pretended, full marks......

Wu De took the case and said: "In this case, a certain person should be exempted from paying taxes on the field." ”

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Gu Bei said goodbye and left.

"Husband......

"Huh?"

"Why do you want to contain so many victims?" Bai Luoshi asked softly.

"Why can't it be contained?" Gu Bei clinged to Bai Luoshi's bulging belly, raised his head and asked.

Bai Luoshi was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not that you can't accept it, but it's ...... There are too many people in the disaster, and it is inevitable that there are no traitors among these people, so they are all being contained, isn't it asking for trouble? ”

Gu Bei chuckled and said, "Sheltering these victims is actually not only because I am soft-hearted, but also because of my plan. ”

"What's the plan?"

"I'm going to build a utopia that can only exist in legends......"

"What is utopia?"

"A kingdom that exists in the imagination."

"Ah, husband, you want to ...... Rebel? ”

Bai Luoshi was taken aback.

“......”

"It's just a metaphor, it's different from other cities in Great Xia......"

Gu Bei explained.

He just wanted to plant a seed.

A seed of capitalism.

In Gu Bei's heart, he doesn't care about human rights and democracy, which is something that will inevitably appear when society develops to a certain extent.

He just wanted the behemoth of capital to become the soul of Great Xia, to devour all the obstacles that stood in front of him, capital was the most powerful force in the world, and it could arouse the innate greed hidden in the depths of human beings.

Once this greed breaks through the ground, it will sweep everything and destroy everything.

Gu Bei was convinced.
