On the night I came back last night, I lay on the couch and got angry for a while, and by the time Su Ren fell asleep, it was already the third watch. was woken up by Liu Jian early in the morning, and Su Ren was even more depressed. Walking out of the house with a black face, he glared at Huang 13 viciously, Huang 13 quickly stopped messing with Liu Jian, turned around and ran out of the yard.

Liu Jian smiled: "Mr. doesn't seem to have slept well?" ”

Su Ren stretched his waist and said while washing his face: "Why did the little boy come so early today, could it be that our Cuixiang Building has been completed?" ”

Liu Jian smiled and shook his head: "Although it is not the completion of Cuixiang Building, there is another good thing." ”

"Tell me?"

Liu Jian threw down the things in his hand, leaned over to Su Ren's side, looked left and right with his two eyes, and felt that no one was eavesdropping, so he lowered his voice and said to Su Ren mysteriously: "Yesterday, there was news from the palace, and the aunt who stayed in Chang'an sent a message to my grandfather, and the emperor sent a person named Duan Hong to Shouchun. ”

"Auntie? Do you have an aunt? ”

"It's the queen's daughter, the nominal aunt."

"Oh, Liu Ling!" When Su Ren heard this name, he was in a better mood: "Your aunt is a wonderful person, when she was in Chang'an, I heard that her mansion saw guests every day, and the threshold was almost broken by those sons and grandsons in Chang'an City. ”

How to say that Liu Jian is also Liu An's grandson and Liu Ling's nephew. Hearing someone talk about his aunt's affairs with a cheap look, Liu Jian's heart was still uncomfortable: "It's also a nominal aunt, and what she does has nothing to do with me." ”

"That's just as well!" Su Ren washed his face, dried it, and threw the cloth into the basin: "What is Duan Hong doing?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head: "He said that he was a lieutenant, but I have never heard of this person, and he must be an unknown person." ”

"What is he doing in Huainan?"

Liu Jian shook his head again: "Then I don't know, as long as the people come, everything will be clear." ”

"Duan Hong!" Su Ren read the name several times, and he didn't have any impression of this person in his mind. As a future generation, only those who exist in historical classics can be remembered, and they must be the kind of wise and brave people, or they can be remembered for thousands of years. People like Duan Hong, who are obscure and whose names have been wiped out by the vast amount of historical texts, there are not many people who know him.

Liu Jian was left to have breakfast together, and the two of them were ready to go to the construction site to have a look. When I got out of the courtyard, I gave people a feeling of depression, and before I went to Changxing Street, there were few people left. Except for the rows of beggars squatting under the eaves of the shops on the side of the road, the rest are closed and locked shops. It used to be the most prosperous place in Shouchun, but it seems to have become like this overnight.

Seeing someone coming, the beggars flocked to it, and the poor stretched out their thin hands and prayed continuously. Liu Jian was not as ruthless as Su Ren, and after dispersing all the money in his purse, he turned his head to Su Ren and said, "Sir, can you lend me some money?" ”

Su Ren readily agreed: "Say, how much do you want to borrow?" ”

"Borrow as much as you want."

"That's it!" Su Ren touched all over his body, only took out two copper coins and threw them into Liu Jian's hands.

Liu Jian looked at Su Ren strangely: "Sir, this ......"

Su Ren said helplessly: "That's all, it's all for you!" ”

Liu Jian casually handed the two money to a little beggar beside him, with a bitter face. Su Ren put his arm around Liu Jian's shoulder: "Your relief method is not right, even if you give them more money, it will be spent, and it will make them more lazy, maybe you will never want to rely on labor to make a living in the future, just wait for other people's alms, then you will harm them." ”

"How's that to be?"

Su Ren admired Liu Jian, a good boy who asked questions without understanding, and pointed to those beggars and asked, "Does the little boy know where these beggars came from?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head. Su Ren said: "The reason why these people have become beggars is all caused by your grandfather. ”

"Ahh

"Don't! First of all, your grandfather was the king of Huainan, and all the people in Huainan were your grandfather's people, and they became beggars, and your grandfather couldn't get rid of it, and this is just one of them! Su Ren made a silent gesture, stopped Liu Jian who was about to speak, and continued: "This is just one of them, now let's talk about the second, the comet hitting the moon caused the whole Huainan people to panic, you should know about this, and your grandfather not only didn't care, but also let the people everyone be in danger, the big families and the rich and propertied people fled one after another, and the people who lived on them had no hope, and they couldn't pat their butts and leave, they could only become beggars." ”

Liu Jian shut up, what Su Ren said made sense, and he naturally had no words to refute.

"So, the reason why these people became beggars is caused by your grandfather!"

Liu Jian sighed: "Is there no way to save them?" According to the gentleman, there are more and more beggars in the city, and those who have money and property are gone, how will they live in the future? ”

"That's to the point!" Su Ren motioned for Liu Jian to hand over his ear, and said in a low voice: "Has the little boy ever thought about standing up for these people?" ”

"Me?"

Su Ren nodded: "A good job can not only allow your grandfather to save these people, but also improve the popularity of the little boy." ”

"Mr. made it clear that as long as he can save these people, he will die in the next ten thousand years!"

Su Ren patted Liu Jian on the back: "Ten thousand deaths, the worst result is that your grandfather will dislike your father and son even more." ”

Liu Jian muttered: "Grandfather has never liked our father and son, the worst can be sent there, please teach me!" After Liu Jian finished speaking, he gave Su Ren a deep salute.

Su Ren nodded and said, "The son can be taught, come here with your ears!" ”

Changxing Street was not long, Su Ren and Liu Jian walked in front and muttered, Huang Shisan and Manniu glared angrily at the beggars on both sides of the street, not letting them get close to the two. As the so-called people are poor and short-minded, the beggars are very obedient and shrink on the side of the street, not daring to approach Su Ren within five steps.

While talking, he soon came to the construction site of Cuixiang Building. The prototype of the building is already in place, and the difference is the interior and exterior decoration, and when the tiles on the roof are laid, it will be open in another month. I don't know what Su Ren said to Liu Jian, since he came to the construction site, Liu Jian has been a little distracted, and he has to leave several times, and he was dragged by Su Ren to accompany him to inspect.

It was unsafe outside, and some people had moved their homes, and more than a dozen makeshift tents had been erected in a corner of the construction site, with women and children hiding inside. The tent is not a good tent either, and the broken cloth between two sticks becomes a home, and the bare-bottomed children get together to make a lot of trouble, and they have no worries about reality.

Su Ren beckoned to a few children, and a few of them ran over boldly, looking at Su Ren with a smirk. In the end, it is a child in the big city, much stronger than Hawking, who only peeked at the corner with his sister and his sister.

Su Ren squatted down and reached out to grab the youngest child's little Ding Ding. The kid didn't dodge, and there was still a smile on his lips. It seems that he has been caught by others a lot, and he has developed absolute immunity.

"What's it called? What about your family? ”

The child smirked, drooling from the corners of his mouth. A slightly older child next to him hurriedly said: "His name is Luo Datou, and he works on the roof." ”

"It's not a big head, why did you come up with this name?"

The slightly older child said: "Their family has a big head, only his head is small, my mother said......" The child looked back and lowered his voice: "My mother said that his mother was unruly and only got him." ”

Su Ren was amused by this exciting news, and turned his head to look at the little guy again, still with a harmless smile on his face, presumably not understanding what the big kid meant. The other children followed, and a few of them were so loud that the working adults heard them and immediately shouted at the woman in the tent. Soon there was a howling of ghosts and wolves in several tents.

Su Ren turned his hands behind his back and turned to look at the roof, a man with a bare back on the roof had a big head, which was very incommensurate with his ordinary figure. This person Su Ren recognized that he was the current big worker, equivalent to the chief engineer of the construction site of Cuixiang Building. The original craftsmen are all gone, and they can only be selected from among those who remain, and they pick and choose this big head. From the original helper, he has become a big worker, and the change in status has made the big head very hard.

Huang Shisan got a small table and a kettle and two bowls from the wine shop opposite, and Su Ren and Liu Jian sat under the tree and watched everyone busy. Because the building is three floors, you can't rely on manpower to throw up the tiles, you can only hang a basket of baskets, the manpower of the work is limited, and the big head has to wait for a while to receive the next basket of tiles after each basket of tiles.

When the big head was resting, Su Ren beckoned to him. The big head hurriedly descended the ladder. Su Ren's salary for building a building is very high, and now it is an extraordinary period, and the price has increased a lot. As a big worker, Datou earns ten times more money these days than he earns for others on weekdays, so Datou is willing to take the risk of staying and does not escape from the city with his wife.

Su Ren poured a glass of water for the big head: "Dagong has worked hard, rest and rest slowly." ”

The big head smiled, drank the water, and wiped his mouth: "Sir, don't worry, it will be completed in three or five days, if Mr. still needs me, the villain will definitely stay." ”

"Okay, then stay!" Su Ren also smiled: "Let those women and children move to my place tomorrow, it's not a matter to stay here." ”

The big head was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir, the villain will go and tell them the news!" The big head turned around and left, Su Ren didn't stop him, he shouted while trotting, and soon brought a group of people to kowtow to Su Ren.

They are not fools, where Su Ren lives, they inquire clearly. If you can live there, even if there is something, no one will go there to make trouble. It can be said that they have finally come out of danger, and they still have wages every day, and such a good thing is a hundred times better than going out to escape.

Su Ren comforted everyone with kind words, and sent everyone to continue working. The people of the Han Dynasty are still relatively simple, if you are good to him, he will be good to you, from the news of Su Ren spread, the attitude of those people working on the construction site can be seen.

Liu Jian sat next to Su Ren, and Su Ren said to Liu Jian triumphantly: "See? That's how it should be done, you have to mingle with them first, and then you can agitate and sway! ”
