Chapter 6 Open the warehouse and release the grain, and the immortals are in the dust
In troubled times, whether good or evil, there is almost no businessman who does not speculate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is the future generations, there are also countless unscrupulous people who make a lot of war and national hardship.
And the evil of the family gatekeeper, especially in this late Han Dynasty, is ten times worse than that of Shangjia.
Not to mention the harm it does to the children of the poor family, most families save their families and take the opportunity to store food, regardless of the life and death of the people, and do their best to fish, expropriate and expropriate, just like the country's moths and lice.
Why is it that wherever the Yellow Turbans go, although some of the people are coerced, more of them spontaneously follow? If they can live, who wants to live a precarious life and pin their heads to the waistband of their pants.
Throughout the history of the world, there has never been a group more conducive to rule than the simple working people of ancient China.
Settle down and relocate, be diligent, as long as you have a bite to eat, you will do a day's farming.
But even such a simple request is difficult to do now. When the most basic survival is not guaranteed, even the most docile sheep can rise up and hurt people.
What about people?
The monarch is guilty, the courtiers are guilty, the family is guilty, and the merchants are guilty.
but they are innocent people, and their families are ruined.
With the Zhang family's wealth in Zhongshan, they naturally have their own granary. Although there is no treachery or business, Zhang Shiping can indeed be regarded as an honest and good man.
Perhaps because of the blessings for their son, since the rise of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the time when the displaced people were in the water, the Zhang family often donated food, old clothes and cloth to help. On the day when Zhang Yu just woke up, Zhang Shiping also asked the housekeeper to open the warehouse again to release grain.
"Father, I beg you to allow the child's request to open my Zhangjia's granary to help the victims."
As soon as Zhang Yu entered the house, he went straight to Zhang Shiping's place, knelt directly on the ground and said.
"Yu Nu'er, it's not that my father is unwilling, it's just that compared with other family businessmen, my Zhang family has been benevolent and righteous to this homeless people. Have you thought about it, if you always open a warehouse to receive help, these homeless people have nothing to do, so they rely on my Zhang family, and sit and wait for food to be released without work, what should you do, is it possible to be supported by us for a lifetime?
Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu. If you give too much, you will overkill. ”
"This..."
"What's more, now that the troubled times have come, and how many victims are there in the whole world, what you see today is only the tip of the iceberg. Even if it's just Jizhou, if these 100,000 homeless people hear the good name of my Zhang family's grain, they all come to visit, how should they deal with it? ”
“... The child doesn't know. ”
"Put the grain, it won't be long before you and I will be like them. If you don't release food, these people are already veritable outlaws, and it is not impossible to gather a crowd to forcibly open a warehouse. ”
Zhang Yu heard that his father knew the stakes so well, and the mania and excitement in Fang Cai's heart were like a spring of ice. In the end, my own experience is still not enough, although I am from 2,000 years later, but after 2,000 years, I am only in my early twenties.
He was about to apologize to his father for his recklessness, when he felt a strong, warm hand on his shoulder.
"Go, let it go."
"Father...?!"
"Put your bread and do what you want, for the Father will support your decision."
"But if it's really like what you say—"
"That's the only thing I ask of you, do what you want, but you must have the ability to bear the consequences of this."
Zhang Yu hesitated slightly, and then thought of the girl with flawless eyes, the people who knelt in front of him and begged, and the old man who begged for his life, and finally made up his mind.
Raising his head, the father and son met their eyes, and everything was silent.
"The boy thanked his father!" Zhang Yu stood up and shouted to Zhang Biao outside the door: "Uncle Biao, open the warehouse and release grain!" ”
The night was dark, completely shrouded in the land of Yan Zhao.
Outside the city, there was also a fire dancing under the moon, and that was where Zhongshan used to store the corpses.
They were killed in battle, but now they are mostly starving.
In ancient times, there were two most convenient ways to dispose of corpses, one was to bury them, and the other was to burn them. As for the prevention and avoidance of plagues, when conditions permit, more people choose to burn the corpses with fire.
In this dark and icy night, even the raging fire makes people feel cold all over the body. Maybe among these beating flames, there is the white-haired old man today, and many more poor people like it.
Still on that street, the dozen or so people were still kneeling, but there was already some commotion.
"Uncle Chen, that... Could the young master be lying to us? I've been walking for an hour. ”
"That's right, I don't think he's so kind, these big people who have suffered a thousand knives won't take our lives in their eyes!"
"Get up, don't kneel, go back and find a broken house to sleep in, and you won't be hungry when you fall asleep."
There were three or four scattered people in the crowd, but many more chose to kneel.
"Han boy, aren't you the most horizontal on weekdays, why are you still kneeling here!"
The burly boy remained motionless, opened his mouth and said, "He saved my sister." ”
The girl also frowned, turned her head and said to the provocative man, "We believe in that big brother!" ”
"Hey, then you're going to die right here."
The men were about to leave, but they heard a gong sound, and a man who looked like a family man jumped out of the street. He swaggered to the crowd, wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and ordered: "You! Come with me, my son-in-law has an order to release grain tonight! ”
The people on the street stood up one after another, and without caring to rub their sore knees, hurriedly followed the family towards the granary.
The few people who were about to leave silently joined the group, and even the homeless people along the way followed. Along the way, there were people who cried with joy, some who were happy, and some who sang praises to Zhang Fu, and the girl's face was also filled with a flower-like smile.
Zhang Yu did not go to the granary to preside over the release of grain as soon as possible, but returned to the room to freshen up. After all, he represents the Zhang family, and this time it is too low-key, sloppy and not beautiful.
Zhang Yu just complained about the difficulty of arranging the hair of this ancient person, but he was narcissistic for a long time after seeing his black-haired self in the mirror. When I was changing clothes, the sound in my head suddenly sounded!
"Ding, congratulations to the host, thanks to your initiative to open a warehouse and release grain, you have successfully won the trust of the displaced people here, gained 200 experience points, gained 150 reputation points, and officially opened the reputation system!
You can earn prestige through your actions, and misdeeds can also diminish prestige. Each level of prestige will be rewarded with a corresponding title, and each title has its own attributes to make your travel experience even better, and I wish you a happy life.
Current Fame: 150, No Level (No Special Attributes). There are still 350 points left before you can be promoted to the next level: [Minor Fame]. ”
"Hmm...," Zhang Yu tasted with satisfaction, "I seem to feel the meaning of the protagonist." ”
South of Zhongshan City, Zhangjia granary.
This mansion-like granary is surrounded by a high fence and guarded by dozens of families, maintaining stability and order.
It was only the moment the grain was taken out of the barn door, these hungry people instantly turned into sharks that smelled blood.
They were not united enough, and they didn't dare to collide with the Zhang family with sticks, but they just pushed forward desperately and crowded. All of a sudden, the crowd was scolding and crying. These "relatives and friends" who used to accompany and comfort each other when they were hungry saw each other as enemies when faced with life-saving food.
"I'll come first! My mother has passed out! ”
"Get out of here, your mother is a human, I'm not!"
"Don't rob, don't rob, spill, spill!"
In the chaos, the young man held the girl tightly in his arms with one hand, and at the same time stretched out his other powerful arm to drag the person in front of him, but he was still young, although he had a natural good body, but there was nothing he could do in this situation.
Seeing that most of the food stalls set up by the Zhang family had been robbed, but he and his sister were getting farther and farther away from the food, and his nasal cavity was sore with anger and grievances for a while.
The people in front can't grab enough, and the people behind can't squeeze in, just when the situation is gradually getting out of control.
"Bang!"
A gong rang out, and the hundreds of people on the field stopped their movements and looked over there.
This look at it is stupid.
Like lotus blooming water, like the sun in the east. The young man's eyebrows are like distant mountains, his starry eyes are shining, his body is handsome, his arms are slender, his white jade hairband is tied with black hair that reaches his waist, and he is wearing a white gauze robe with the moonlight, like an immortal who has been relegated to the mortal world.
All the people present, both men and women, were as hazy and intoxicated as drunk, and they were no longer crazy.
