Chapter 545: Experiment (2)

Looking at Xu Feng who was leaving, Shi Bin couldn't help but think about the reaction of the porridge field refugees and village refugees when they saw the white-flour steamed buns. He very much hopes that there will be such a big contrast as Xu Feng said when the time comes, so that it will be better to convince Wang Lixin. But I don't want to see such a situation, because it shows that the life of the Li people in the Great Song Dynasty is miserable.

Obviously seeing what Shi Bin was thinking, Jia Ling smiled: "Why sigh? Isn't it good to have a comfortable life after giving to them, let them lose face once? Besides, will you treat them badly? ”

Shi Bin's feeling immediately improved after being relieved by Jia Ling, as if he had become a great benevolent person to save the common people again, and he became very much looking forward to this experiment.

A hundred or so steamed buns are easy to make, and with Xu Feng, a neat guy, supervising on the side, these white-flour steamed buns that make people drool at a glance were served in less than two quarters of an hour.

It may be that they have been hungry for too long, they are very sensitive to food, and there are still hundreds of steps, and many refugees seem to have noticed that there is food in Shi Bin's place, and they have looked at it. This situation was something that Shi Bin did not expect. He asked himself that he would never have such a strong sense of smell, even if the steamed buns were placed within thirty steps, he might not be able to smell them.

I wanted to ask people to take these steamed buns for these refugees to eat, but now Shi Bin had an evil idea in his heart: just put the steamed buns here and see if those refugees will use their strength to eat milk and race in a hundred steps.

Turning his head to look at Jia Ling and Sai Xi Shi, the two seemed to have this idea, Sai Xi Shi smiled and whispered: "Just put fifty steamed buns here, and tell them to send steamed buns, see how they come over, how to take these steamed buns." Although Jia Ling didn't speak, she also smiled slyly and nodded.

Since they all had this idea, the gong immediately sounded, telling the refugees in the porridge field to distribute steamed buns. Sure enough, as Xu Feng said, as soon as he heard that there were steamed buns to eat, those refugees ran over quickly, and they were definitely walking like flying. He doesn't look like a hungry man who has no strength at all, but like a post man who sends six hundred miles to an expedited.

In order to do things better, Xu Feng hurriedly shouted: "Queue, queue, rest assured that everyone has it, everyone has it." One for each person. ”

It's a pity that no one listened to Xu Feng at all, and the fifty steamed buns were divided by more than a dozen people first. As the saying goes, people don't die for themselves, and only when they have food can they have hope of living, how can those refugees who come after them tolerate such a situation? Naturally, they attacked those people.

With the addition of fists and kicks, the dozen or so people who arrived first finally only got one more steamed bun than the others, but they were beaten. What made Shi Bin cry and laugh was that they didn't seem to care about the beating, and having one more steamed bun than others already made them feel very worthwhile.

"Let's get some steamed buns." Shi Bin said with a long sigh.

"My lord... I'm afraid not. Xu Feng said with some hesitation.

didn't think Xu Feng was a vicious person, so he didn't reprimand, but just looked at him suspiciously, hoping to get a satisfactory explanation.

"My lord, if you really let them all have steamed buns to eat now, I'm afraid it will not be conducive to convincing Lord Wang Lixin in two days."

After thinking about it carefully, I understood the meaning of Xu Feng's words. Indeed, if everyone had white flour steamed buns to eat now, then these porridge refugees would no longer be so anxious and worried, which would not be conducive to convincing Wang Lixin. Shi Bin nodded helplessly and said, "It makes sense, then forget it today." Wait until Wang Lixin fully supports me. ”

Next, Shi Bin took Jia Ling and those steamed buns to a village under his control. Like the porridge shop, the refugees have a very sensitive sense of smell and swallow saliva from a distance.

There is no need to change anything, it is still according to the gourd, Shi Bin immediately struck the gong and told the refugees that there were steamed buns. In order to get a clearer understanding of the refugees' thirst for food here, Shi Bin also shouted that this was a white-flour steamed bun, not a nest head.

Just like in the porridge field, those refugees also ran to Shi Bin and begged for food. But after hearing Shi Bin say that they had to line up to eat steamed buns, they hesitated, but in the end they really lined up. Under Xu Feng's stern gaze, those who took the steamed buns without authorization also honestly put those steamed buns back into the vat.

Shi Bin was very happy to see this result, which fully shows that it is much more effective and safer to resettle refugees in abandoned villages and towns than to resettle refugees in porridge farms.

After distributing the steamed buns, Shi Bin was planning

left, but was stopped by Jia Ling. looked at her with some doubts, but saw Jia Ling and said, "Is the husband doing something less?" ”

"What did you do less?" Shi Bin said puzzledly, "Isn't everything done?" ”

"If you don't keep your word now, I'm afraid it's not good." Jia Ling smiled slyly.

After such a reminder, Shi Bin immediately realized that he had made a big mistake - he didn't believe in his words. Indeed, who said that he didn't make it clear how many steamed buns there were before? If you break your promise now and get fat, next time, I am afraid that what you will show in front of yourself and Wang Lixin will not be such a good situation, maybe it will be the same as the situation in the porridge field.

So Shi Bin immediately ordered to make steamed buns in the village, ensuring that each person had one steamed bun, no more and no less. And when the refugees were eating steamed buns, Shi Bin also taught them that 'wealth is not white', telling them that they must not tell others that there are white flour steamed buns to eat, once they let others know that they themselves will not have to eat. People will not be destroyed for themselves, and these refugees naturally promised not to reveal a word to outsiders.

Since they got such a satisfactory answer, Shi Bin and the others were relieved. Just wait for the time to let Wang Lixin watch a series of experiments.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, although Wang Lixin still had a blue nose and swollen face, his spirit was obviously much better, coupled with the expectation of the experiment, his attitude towards Shi Bin was also better.

knew that Wang Lixin would never want to stay with him for a long time, and he didn't want to spend more time with Wang Lixin, so as soon as Wang Lixin came, Shi Bin signaled to start the experiment.

First of all, he naturally took Wang Lixin to the porridge field outside the city, and no matter what he thought in his heart, Shi Bin just arranged him at a gruel distribution table.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, please wait for a quarter of an hour, and you will see a good show later." Shi Bin brought two stools as he spoke, and said with a smile: "If you feel a little tired, just sit down and wait first." Shi thinks that the scene to be there will be something you will never forget. ”

Looking at these poor refugees in front of him, Wang Lixin asked himself that this scene has made him unforgettable for the rest of his life, what could be more unforgettable for him? Looking at Shi Bin, Wang Lixin felt that there would indeed be from his confident smile, so he didn't ask and just quieted down and waited.

A quarter of an hour flew by, and Xu Feng brought fifty steamed buns. Wang Lixin learned that Shi Bin wanted to let himself see the steamed buns, but he still wondered why he only sent fifty instead of guaranteeing one of these refugees.

"Lord Wang, do you feel that the number of steamed buns is wrong?" Shi Bin smiled slyly.

"Yes."

"Don't worry, they will definitely have one later, but now I want you to see how hungry these refugees are for these fifty steamed buns. And they wouldn't know that there were only fifty steamed buns in the bucket. ”

I vaguely felt what Shi Bin meant to do this, but I still didn't believe that the situation to be there would be very unexpected for him, so Wang Lixin said very easily that he could start.

A scene two days ago reappeared, those refugees with a keen sense of smell and fast steps rushed to Wang Lixin to grab steamed buns with lightning speed. No matter how much Wang Lixin emphasized the need to queue up, everyone would have it, but no one followed his orders. Even those who came later added punches and kicks to the refugees who came first and took more steamed buns. The beaten refugees ignored their physical pain and stuffed steamed buns into their mouths.

Wang Lixin never expected such a situation, and the previous report given by his subordinates was that the refugees obeyed orders very much, no longer quarreled over food, and only waited for Wang Lixin to make further arrangements.

Feeling that someone was looking at him, he didn't have to think about it to know who it was, and he didn't turn his head, Wang Lixin said embarrassedly: "Lord Shi wants to use this to prove that my approach is wrong?" ”

"I can't say wrong, I should say it's not the best." Shi Bin said with a smile, "Next, please ask Lord Wang to move to those abandoned villages where refugees have been arranged, and let's take a look at the same experiment." If adults are afraid that I will cheat, please choose for yourself. ”

Shi Bin's confident smile made Wang Lixin feel that he would definitely lose. But Wang Lixin, unwilling to admit defeat easily, decided to see how different the reaction to food would be between the refugees living in villages and towns and the refugees at the porridge shop.

After arranging for the porridge shop to continue distributing steamed buns, Shi Bin and Wang Lixin took 50 steamed buns to a village farthest away from Xi'an to settle refugees.

Refugees always have a keen sense of smell, and they still smell the fragrance of steamed buns from a long distance, and they are always ready to run over to get them.

After putting away those steamed buns, Shi Bin smiled and said to Wang Lixin: "Lord Wang, return this time."

It's to ask you to hand out steamed buns, maybe you can feel something different from it. ”

As soon as Shi Bin's voice fell, Xu Feng rang the gong and announced the distribution of steamed buns. The refugees were still running towards Wang Lixin with brisk steps, their eyes full of anticipation for food. In Wang Lixin's eyes, all this was no different from the refugees in the porridge field before, so he sneered in his heart, laughing at Shibin would lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and secretly praised himself for not giving up so quickly.

"Queue up, everybody." When the refugees rushed to him, Xu Feng spoke.

The two refugees at the head looked at the wooden bucket containing the steamed buns and said, "There are obviously only fifty steamed buns here, and we have at least 300 people, even if there is only one person and there is a shortage of 250 steamed buns, how can we have one?" ”

"Do you doubt Lord Shi's words, he has broken his promise?" Xu Feng asked sternly.

As soon as they heard this, the few refugees who were obviously full of suspicion immediately did not dare to speak anymore, and lined up honestly, but they still whispered in their mouths, 'I hope Lord Shi will keep his word'.

The fifty steamed buns were quickly distributed, and those who did not receive the steamed buns immediately became agitated. Of course, he couldn't tolerate this, Shi Bin said very seriously: "You all want to eat steamed buns, don't you, then calm me down." stopped, and the official immediately sent someone to the city to transport grain to make steamed buns in front of everyone. If you don't know how to stop, then don't think about eating white flour steamed buns again! Just watch those fifty drool! ”

Soon the refugees were no longer restless, and waited honestly, and some even talked about how to make steamed buns to be delicious, looking like gourmets.

"How is it, Lord Wang, don't you know if you feel something different?" Shi Bin asked calmly.

"It seems that what Lord Shi said is right, it is better to let these refugees live in abandoned villages and towns."

From Wang Lixin's words, Shi Bin heard that he sincerely supported him, and Shi Bin was naturally very happy. In order to make Wang Lixin not too embarrassed, Shi Bin also said that it was difficult for him to be an official.

Because he still wanted Wang Lixin to watch a 'dog mouth snatching food', Shi Bin urged Wang Lixin to leave the village on the grounds that it was better to return to the city before sunset.

When they arrived about five miles outside the city, a large dog with a slice of meat in its mouth suddenly burst out of the grass. After a while, a ragged man sprang out of the bushes, and chased after the big dog.

This strange scene made Wang Lixin couldn't help but stop and watch, wanting to see what the man was going to do.

That person was naturally Liu Qiang, in order to behave well in front of Shi Bin, he also deliberately fell twice before grabbing the dog, and laughed with satisfaction after snatching the piece of meat from the dog's mouth.

Seeing this, Wang Li's confidence was full of guilt, the people under his rule were to the point of 'snatching food from the dog's mouth', and he was too incompetent as a transfer envoy. couldn't turn a blind eye, so he had to ask the attendant to give Liu Qiang a little subsidy with one or two pieces of silver, so that he could feel more comfortable. In order not to make a mistake, Liu Qiang took the silver, and immediately ran away after thanking him.

And Shi Bin said with a smile: "Lord Wang is really a bodhisattva, and when he sees someone in trouble, he can help him, Shi admires it." ”

"Lord Shi, don't make fun of me. If it weren't for you, I really didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between the refugees in the porridge field and the villages and towns. I would never have thought that there would still be people under my rule who 'snatched food'. Wang Lixin shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Lord Wang, these are not your faults, the overall situation is like this, it is not easy for you to keep those refugees to eat." Shi Bin said very sincerely.

"Master Shi doesn't have to make fun of me, compared to you, what I did is not worth mentioning."

"Then do you want Lord Wang to let these refugees really live better and stop eating the food they came from?" Shi Bin asked.

Wang Lixin was so smart that he immediately understood what Shi Bin meant, so he shut up and didn't answer.

"Lord Wang, I have long known what the court is asking you for, and it is nothing more than trying my best to contain it. I don't know if you have ever thought about it, if you save those refugees, then whose kindness will those refugees feel, is it yours or my Shi Bin? ”

By Shi Bin's little bit, Wang Lixin immediately said: "Lord Shi's words made me suddenly enlightened, okay, I will go against the will of the imperial court once, and follow your method to settle refugees, I hope the emperor can understand." ”
