At first, Ito heard that Fujiwara Shuo handed over the task of disaster relief in Hizen Province to Zhen Qian, and thought that Fujiwara Shuo was shirking his responsibility and finding a scapegoat for himself, which was obvious to everyone, and this time Hizen Country disaster relief would definitely be thankless, and as soon as the order to let Zhen Qian be in charge of disaster relief came out, no one in Hizen Country jumped out to oppose it.

Normally, it is good to die one or two adults in a disaster, but this year's disaster seems to be a little more serious, and many human factors have in it, and many people have given a conservative figure of losing three or four percent of the population.

Ito is pessimistic that it would be good to survive the disaster.

There are many factors in this, among which the wealthy and wealthy are fueling the troubles, on the surface, those grain merchants are hoarding for the rich, but in fact, this disaster is not only a disaster for ordinary people, but also a gluttonous feast for many people, and the various interests involved are too deep.

For example, the land after the disaster, such as the peasants who sold themselves into slavery because of hunger, such as the local right to speak, etc., just took advantage of the disaster to redivide.

Fujiwara is very aware of the relationship, so he is reluctant to come forward to take charge of disaster relief.

Ito is full of sophistication, his fish is too small, it is easy to be tossed to death, it is safer to hide behind Zhen Qian, and he always takes Zhen Qian's horse as the leader, and is unwilling to take the initiative to make suggestions.

"Master, the land has been measured, and now if you rush to plant some vegetables, you can harvest them before the winter comes, but the salt in stock is running out, so you need to reserve some as soon as possible!"

As soon as a scribe finished speaking, the clerk next to him also reacted: "Master, I forgot one thing just now, salting fish and shrimp also needs salt, I'm afraid there are still a lot of quantities, and it takes more than tens of thousands of catties to be afraid of death!" ”

"Master, there is no shortage of farm tools and seeds now, but cloth and tents to protect against the cold need to be prepared as soon as possible, there are several women waiting to give birth among the victims, the doctor and midwife have not yet been found, the number of medicines is too small, and the subordinates are worried that this weather will easily cause ......infectious diseases."

“”

“……”

The more Ito listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't be dreaming! I pinched my wrist hard, and it all seemed to be true. I feel that these people don't seem to be relieving the disaster, but like they are moving people, which ...... This seems to be a little different from the plan!

"Greeting and sending envoys! Did the lower officials hear it wrong, how did these things sound like they had little to do with disaster relief? ”

"Really?"

Zhen Qian also seemed to have a sudden realization, and said to the scribes below: "What are you talking about these things for, let you help the disaster, not to focus on these trivial things, go and do your own things!" ”

The scribes bowed and withdrew from the big tent one by one, the more Ito thought about it, the more wrong it became, without Zhen Qian's nod in agreement, would those scribes dare to do this? I was tricked by Zhen Qian.

"Greeting and sending envoys! Can you tell the lower official why he is doing these things, the lower official wants to hear the truth. ”

"You really want to hear it?" Zhen Qianwan smiled and said.

"Please also welcome the envoy Mingyan!" Ito Ichifu broke the posture of the casserole to ask the end, this is too important to himself, Zhen Qian doesn't look like a fool, the problem is that he is not a fool! There must be a truth in these things that outsiders don't know.

Zhen Qian personally poured a cup of tea for Ito and said, "Does the judge think that I must have a deep meaning in doing this, uh!" You're right, I'm a man! I can't see others suffering, poor and starving, so I think of ways to help these people, so that these people can have a bite to eat, and I will feel more comfortable, lest I go to hell after death! ”

"Does the judge think that people will go to hell after death?" Zhen Qian suddenly winked at Ito.

"Isn't it ......!" Ito found that his brain was a little insufficient, it sounded like something was wrong, and he seemed to have been taken to the ditch by Zhen Qian, "Please also ask the greeting envoy to explain why he is doing this?" ”

Zhen Qian glanced at Ito, feeling that it was not interesting at all, Ito was a bit old-fashioned, and it was boring to joke with this kind of person, so he sat on the low stool and said, "Does the judge think that as long as he gives food to the victims, it will be considered disaster relief?" The official thinks that saving people to the end and sending the Buddha to the west, since it is to help the victims, you can't just distribute some food and ignore it, what is the difference between this and not saving, but it is the difference between early death and late death, the difference between dying in front of the eye or dying elsewhere, so the official decided that since he wants to save people, then he can't just give the victims a bite to eat, but help the victims settle down and resume production, and self-sufficiency is the real salvation! ”

"But in addition to those farm tools and seeds, there are also cloth, salt, housing, etc., didn't the envoy think about money?"

Ito couldn't open his mouth a little, so Fujiwara Shuo took out 5,000 kan and bought a large amount of coarse grains and miscellaneous grains, and the rest bought some farm tools, and the money had already been spent. Now that Zhen Qian has made such a big move, it is obvious that the money should come from Zhen Qian's hands, but why did Zhen Qian pay for such a thankless job?

Zhen Qian looked at Ito slowly, such an old official always said half and half when he spoke, didn't he just want to ask himself what he was doing with all this money?

"Of course, it's an invitation to buy people's hearts!"

But I can't say this sentence now, I'm a little tired! put on a nonchalant face and said: "Of course it's to make money!" If you think about it, so many people are affected by the disaster, how many supplies are needed, I think few of these victims are willing to die, in this case, then they must want to live a good life, but what if they have no money? ”

"But I have!" Zhen Qian pointed at himself and said: "This is a huge opportunity to make money, and countless people have not seen it, now I tell you, should I kill people and kill people?" ”

Zhen Qian's last sentence was of course a joke, but Ito couldn't laugh at all, it was really a business opportunity! In fact, many times this is the case, thinking hard and always can't guess what others are thinking, it is that layer of membrane, but after piercing, it suddenly dawns on me, the real business opportunity!

Ito knows the Seedlings Law, but many people are not optimistic about this decree, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, it is not easy for the poor people to squeeze it, most of the people in this era are small-scale peasant economies, and they are usually reluctant to borrow money, of course, the high interest rate is also a reason, so the promotion of the Seedlings Law is not very significant, but Ito heard the meaning of the Seedlings Law from Zhen Qian's words.

What a real business opportunity!

These victims usually don't dare to borrow money, but now they have to borrow farm tools, seeds, cloth, grain, salt, etc. from Zhen Gan's hands, all of which have to make a contract, once this year's disaster year has passed, the interest alone can make Zhen Qian earn a lot of money, and these disaster victims have not resisted in their hearts, and they are grateful to Zhen Qian.
