Chapter 16 Resettlement of the Hungry (continued)
The ancient people's fear of gods, demons, monsters, and the like, if it wasn't for Ai Tingnan's own eyes, he wouldn't have known that it would have reached this level.
After each hungry person received the rice porridge, the first thing he did was not to find a place to drink the porridge, but to take the porridge bowl, run to Ai Tingnan, kowtow three times, and then walked to the side and began to eat.
Even the three-year-old children and the elderly, with the support of their relatives next to them, slowly saluted Ai Tingnan to express their gratitude and awe.
Even though they had been hungry for many days, they still did this to Ai Tingnan.
Several times, Ai Tingnan wanted to go up and help them up, but in the end he held back.
This is a feudal era, but also an era of ignorance, most of the people are still honest and simple, they just want to live a peaceful and stable life. However, in this backward era, food and materials are very scarce, productivity is backward, and entertainment is scarce.
All these hungry people think about all day long is how to eat enough during the day and how to survive the cold nights, and those who have children think more about how to feed their children, and what to do if they can't hold on to themselves.
They don't think about why they're living, and they don't talk about what they're going to live all day because they're busy trying to eat.
Ai Tingnan stood in the air, looking at the people who were sitting around one by one, smiling because of a little porridge, and he felt a little sense of responsibility in his heart.
If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.
It must not be accidental that he can come to this world and get so many high-tech things, since he worked so hard in his previous life, so if he wants to get ahead, he has to do something meaningful to the people in this life!
First of all, he had to feed all the people!
The next day, Ai Tingnan once again provided the hungry people with a day's food, but this time, he cooked dry rice, and asked Cui Shizhong to go to the city to hire more than 20 cooks, cook the vegetables in a large pot from morning to night, and then put some lard, and exchanged dozens of catties of salt from the store.
Towards the evening of the third day, Ai Tingnan flew into the air again and said to the hungry people below with a megaphone, "This Xingjun will be leaving soon. Therefore, it is impossible to give you food for a long time! And this Xingjun just can't bear you starving to death on the streets, but he doesn't want to cultivate a group of waste people who only know how to eat, drink, and Lazar! Therefore, this Xingjun decided that all people who have a labor force, over ten years old and under fifty years old, can be rewarded according to the amount of work, and if there are elderly people or children in the family, the number of people will be doubled! I hope you can work diligently and get rid of the title of poverty as soon as possible! In addition, meals are free during your work, so you can hurry up and earn enough capital for your future life before this star is gone! As for the work, this star will assign it to you, and the reward will not be unfavorable to you! Okay, let's talk about the specific things tomorrow, today you report your family situation to the responsible officials present, and tomorrow I will divide the labor according to what you said! ”
As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, although Ai Tingnan has enough food for these people, but he is not a pet, his goal is to bring the whole nation on the road to prosperity, so let these simple people have a job of their own, is the most important thing at present.
Sure enough, after Ai Tingnan finished speaking, the hungry people below cheered, obviously they also understood this truth.
After returning to Cui's Mansion, Ai Tingnan discussed with Cui Shizhong and Cui Qingsong, saying that it was a discussion, but it was better to say that Ai Tingnan was instructing.
"I think the distribution of the urban structure in your county is too chaotic, you should plan the residential and commercial areas well, and then your government office buildings, as well as your rich communities, entertainment venues, streets and public facilities are not comprehensive at all! Last time I went to the street, I saw a lot of people hiding behind the houses and behind the shops, which is very bad and uncivilized! The greening of the city is also very important, which is conducive to promoting the evolution of the nation! In addition, I don't think your county government is prepared to deal with emergency measures at all, so it's not okay, what if you encounter so many hungry people again, what will you do if I leave? Or is it still the same as always? Ai Tingnan has inspected a lot of places in the past few days and found a lot of problems, which can't be changed at all, so he simply wants Cui Qingsong to change the layout of the entire city.
In order to explain the specific situation to Cui Qingsong and let Cui Qingsong have a view of the overall situation, Ai Tingnan even took him to fly around in the air, and then pointed to some unreasonable buildings and gave Cui Qingsong an example, and now Cui Qingsong finally understood.
Although Cui Qingsong disagreed very much in his heart, in the end, he still wrote a specific urban plan with his subordinates after he went back according to what Ai Tingnan said, and drew a rough sketch according to Ai Tingnan's requirements.
Ai Tingnan was lying on the bed, looking at the machine in his mind, he wanted to find a machine that could make a building material that could replace cement, but he didn't find a suitable one, either it was too expensive or too brittle, and in the end, after thinking about it, cement was still suitable.
So, Ai Tingnan found Cui Qingsong again and asked about the news about the lime mine.
"Lime mines?" Cui Qingsong was stunned, "I don't know what Daxian is looking for this lime mine?" ”
Cui Qingsong didn't know that lime mine can make cement, which is normal, after all, in ancient times, people were not so clear about the use of lime, and most of them used it as a kind of medicinal material, which was generally used externally, which could dry dampness, kill insects, stop bleeding, fix pain, and erode bad meat. Treatment of scabies, eczema, wound bleeding, soup burns, hemorrhoids, prolapsed anus, warts, etc.; When taken internally, it can stop diarrhea and dysentery, and collapse the belt. Moreover, Tang has very little development of lime, so for lime mines, ordinary people rarely pay attention to them.
But Cui Qingsong happened to have hemorrhoids for a while, and in the prescription prescribed by Lang Zhong at that time, quicklime was used to make medicine, and it happened that there was no quicklime in the pharmacy in the city, so someone told him about the lime mine in order to please him.
"For lime, I have a lot of use, if you know where there is a lime mine, quickly tell me, this is related to the construction of your city!" Ai Tingnan didn't say much, it was too troublesome to explain, it was better to find the lime mine at that time, get the lime out, and then process it into cement, then Cui Qingsong naturally understood.
"Don't hide it from Daxian, Xia Guan happens to know a lime mine, which is not far from the east of the city, if it is at the speed of Daxian, it can be reached in less than a cup of tea." Cui Qingsong saw that Ai Tingnan was looking at the lime mine, and quickly said it.
When Ai Tingnan heard this, he immediately said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and show the way! ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Cui Qingsong and flew towards the east of the city.
