267 Joy as the God of Wealth and the King of Orphans
There is benevolence, but there is not necessarily benevolence. Or because of cowardice and cowardice, or because of lack of ability, or because of unwillingness, not willing to practice the virtue of benevolence and righteousness.
Throughout the ages, there are not many people who are emperors and have a big heart. are all because the suspicion is too heavy, the thinking is too complicated, and the people who are far away are thousands of miles away. Not to mention the need to take their private treasury to help the poor.
Therefore, when the people heard that Sun Nian gave their wealth and gave them a house, they were surprised and uneasy. I'm afraid that today's income is the flower in the mirror, and I don't know that one day the emperor will not be happy, and he will take all these back. At that time, how painful should it be to gain and lose?
"Silly?"
The people who were scared away by Sun Nian immediately ran back to the village with his two men, leaving the woman safe to ensure safety.
An hour later, the three men returned with seventeen men and a group of white-armored soldiers.
These seventeen people, a total of ten families, are complete with men, women and children.
"The widow called you so that you might be able to help the widow to prosper the land. How? When fifty families are gathered here, it will be announced. Now, go and get some food, and wait for the widow's command. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When the sun was about to set, some people around Donghua Town were found. The number of people is as expected and expected, there are 95 households, and the number of people is nearly 110. It's almost one person in a household, and it can be said that it is too difficult to survive.
Seeing this, Sun Nian's heart ached, and the guilt was deeper, but it was not too much, and it was not good to be ashamed. He was too worried that the people would resent him for his bad behavior, and that his decree would not be carried out in the future. If you don't feel guilty at all, and you're worried that Baixin will say that he is hard-hearted, has no intention of loving the people, and is not worthy of being a king.
"There are a hundred and eighty houses in this land under the widow's feet. Later, each head of household will be able to obtain a house from the widow, and settle down with 500 yuan, a clay pot, an iron pot, and several pairs of bowls and chopsticks. Each adult in the family can receive five buckets of rice grain, two pieces of cloth, half a thick cloth, and a bundle of firewood. The rice, cloth, and cloth that the children receive are half of the adults. ”
Those who were lucky enough to survive the treacherous predicament wept with joy when they heard Sun Nian's gift. They didn't expect that there would be such a bitter day. It's a shame that God didn't let their relatives survive until His Majesty came to this day!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Among the victims, there is a special family. It's just that one of the heads of the household is only a ten-year-old boy, and his relatives are only a five-year-old sister.
How did such a weak brother and sister escape those vicious cannibalists?
It turned out that they were hiding in their hidden cellars,
The brother and sister are both unfortunate and lucky. Although their parents were killed in search of a way out, they escaped the catastrophe in the village because they had been arranged by their parents to go to the cellar beforehand. Because their parents loved to collect grain and charcoal, they survived for almost a year by eating the grains, fruits and vegetables saved by their parents; When it is the coldest, you can also warm it with charcoal to survive the harsh winter. During this time, they did not dare to go out, because every time they walked to the mouth of the cellar, they could hear screams. No, they could only live cautiously like rats in the cellar for a year.
The young man's name is Yuan Feng, and his sister Yuan Yan is there.
Speaking of these, the ten-year-old boy Lang had red eyes again, hugged his sister who seemed to be disturbed, and looked at Sun Nian hopefully. He wanted to follow Sun Nian. Because he knew that only by following Sun Nian would he and his sister grow up safe and sound.
Sun Nian half-squatted down and said to Yuan Feng seriously: "You want to follow the widow, but first of all, you have to give up the mansion, money, grain, cloth, etc. that the widow gave you, and fight for an unknown future." Would you like to? ”
This question is not only for Yuan Feng, but also for these victims. He told them that he didn't mind them following him back to Luoyang, but if he followed, he would have to give up the money he had, and his future would be bleak. When the time comes, it may not be as good as what you have gained today.
Those people are adults who have gone through vicissitudes. Naturally, he was not as willing to discard the money, food and houses as Yuan Feng was. Don't find the glorious future, and the fat duck in hand has also come to naught.
So, in Sun Nian's expectations, no one stood up and expressed their willingness to go with him.
And Yuan Feng pulled Yuan Yan to kneel down in front of Sun Nian, kowtowed, and said: "I, Yuan Feng, with my sister Yuan Yan, will follow Your Majesty in death, and I will not disappoint Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, Yuan Feng was annoyed that he didn't speak beautifully enough, but he couldn't take back what he said, and just hoped that Sun Nian would take pity on them and take them in.
Sun Nian naturally fulfilled the wishes of their brother and sister. For others, it is not disappointing or not, this is just human nature, but I also admire Yuan Feng even more for being more wise and decisive than adults. Although Yuan Feng didn't know Sun Nian's intention to promote him. Sun Nian didn't know at this time, because of his momentary soft-heartedness, he found a god of war for his son. This is a follow-up and will not be mentioned for the time being.
Seeing those victims hurriedly follow Yuan Yu to receive money and food, Sun Nian also let go of the worry in his heart. Finally, there was no trouble among the people.
"Come on, take these two little ones to your tent to keep warm. Don't chill them. If there is anything to be done, you are the only ones who ask. ”
"Promise."
The little brother and sister didn't want to leave Sun Nian yet, afraid that he would abandon them, so Sun Nian could only comfort them and let them leave with peace of mind.
"Boyo, now we finally have time to talk about this gossip city."
"Gossip City?" Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment. Forgive him for not remembering it. He was not interested in remembering things that were generally insignificant. But His Majesty asked, of course he had to answer, even if it was a stumbling and spitting, "I, Your Majesty, I think the gossip city you talked about, well, very good." ”
Sun Nian chuckled and stopped teasing Jiang Wei. Instead, he made arrangements directly, and ordered his subordinates to follow his arrangement to set up a half-mile yard to be used as a place for trading in the big bazaar. The surrounding houses, which should be demolished, were demolished, and the remaining roads were built, and within half a month, Bagua City began to take shape.
The money for the establishment of the Bagua City came from the money and goods collected. Let the people be grateful again.
When the news was transmitted back to Luoyang, it surprised Thirteen Niang and the Fifth Chang and others.
To say that there will be blessings, but their king seems to be a blessed king? Every time you are in danger, you will be able to turn evil into good fortune. However, a drink and a peck are determined for heaven. Perhaps it was because Sun Nian generously sacrificed his wealth for the people, and then won the hearts of the people, so his actions were smooth.
"Your Majesty is benevolent, not only to rescue the people affected by the disaster, but also to find out the black sheep, and to obtain countless jewels and money for the treasury, I have to admit that I am inferior to Your Majesty." The fifth Chang Yu said such a paragraph with emotion when Shen Shang was chatting.
This made Shen Shang very surprised. He believes that the fifth constant should not be compared with Sun Nian. That was like a great disrespect to Sun Nian. However, Shen Shang still didn't say it in the end. thought of Lu Qiong, the "Emperor of the Soil" in Donghua Town, who used to be a character, but because of the accumulation of jealousy and hatred in his heart, he finally did such a thing that harmed the monarch and the country, and died under the sword of his own people. It's not a shame.
It is really people's hearts that are fickle, and sometimes the words of others can also lead people astray. From this, he thought, he could be a little quieter.
