Chapter 453: Earning Food (2)

A scholar wearing a hat and crown read: "King Kaiyuan Qin announced to the people of the world that the emperor has been burned..." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After a while, the scholar finished reading, and all the people were stunned on the spot.

The proclamation said that millions of displaced people were waiting to eat in Huai and Surabaya counties, and the king of Qin had the intention to help these people, but he was powerless, because the king of Qin had no more food, and it was all used to help the former people.

Therefore, it is necessary to borrow grain from the people of the world, borrow a catty and add 20% of the previous catty to be repaid in the coming year, and if you are interested, you can go to the grain station to donate.

A year ago, most of the people present were homeless, all of them wandered here, but fortunately Ling Feng took them in, ordered the opening of a porridge factory, and built houses for them, and the people were relieved.

Now they have food and clothing, they can live by hunting in the mountains casually, and the food they grow is also their own, and they don't have to hand it over to the government.

Hearing that there are one million displaced people in Huai County and Surabaya County who are in dire straits, the people present at the scene all said: "We should be saved, we should be saved, isn't this how we survived?" ”

"In order to save us, King Qin has spent all the food, and now he has to raise so many officers and soldiers, and he has to save those people, how to save it, we have to donate food quickly."

In fact, they don't have much in their hands, and the family is only a few dozen catties at most, or hundreds of catties, if they want to survive until next year, they have to save food, and they have to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and hunt, so that they can survive until next year.

But when I think that my life is all picked up, it is incumbent on the well-meaning people.

"Yes, yes, let's go to the grain station."

"Let's go..."

.......

For a time, a large group of people went home to get food, and then went straight to the grain station.

The news spread very quickly, and it didn't take long for it to reach the family.

In their eyes, it is always the interests of the first, their own interests, the interests of the family, no matter what they do, after they do it, they must have benefits, otherwise what else to do.

The revival of a family is often built by countless talents, countless money, and countless corpses, and no one will give away the fruits of this kind of success that have been handed out so easily, and if you send it out, it is definitely a sinner of the family.

For example, at this time, in a family in the three northern counties, there was a quarrel.

This family is just a small family, and the grain stored at home is only a few thousand catties, that is, a hundred quintals of grain.

But now the family is divided into two factions, the first group of people said, this grain should be taken out, because after all, the king of Qin gave them peace, they should be grateful, and the most important thing is that the king of Qin's proclamation, who knows if there is any deep meaning, if it is to test the family, if you don't take it, will there be any trouble, and also, didn't the king of Qin also say, give you benefits, and wait for the next year, you can get 20% of the profit, that is, you take out a hundred taels now, and give you one hundred and twenty taels next year, no matter what, That's a good thing, too.

But another wave of people said, no! Why? Because they suspected that King Qin was trying to rob them, if the grain was handed over, it was very likely that it would be meat buns beating dogs, and there would be no return.

In this way, the two sides are at loggerheads.

Should this grain be taken out? Or shouldn't you take it out?

However, when they think about it carefully, they find that it seems that whether you take it out or not, it is difficult, and they have fallen into a dilemma.

"What can I do about this?"

"I think I should take it!"

"No, no, you can't take it back!"

.......

The head of this big family is an old man who is over half a hundred years old, listening to the noisy talk of everyone in the hall, he pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I think Ling Feng is still a benevolent and kind person, he should not use this method, besides, I did get the news that there is indeed a large influx of homeless people in Huai County and Surabaya County, and now they are handling the porridge field, thinking that King Qin must have no food, so he made this decision." ”

Someone asked: "Master, are you saying that if we give the grain to the grain station, we will really be able to charge 20 percent interest next year?" ”

Another person said: "No, I see Ling Feng's wolf ambition, he was originally a general of the imperial court and the king of Qin, but now he is also rebelling, what is the forced rebellion, in fact..." ”

Before the man finished speaking, a person stopped him: "Uncle, you can't talk nonsense, you will lose your head if you say it." ”

"Let's talk about this food, is it giving? Or don't give? ”

After some quarrels and discussions, the two pillars of incense passed without any result.

What everyone was worried about was nothing more than Ling Feng's thoughts, and they didn't know if this was the truth that Ling Feng said, or if it was a test of the family.

Until the end, it was the head of the family who made the decision and said: "In this case, then we will take fifty taels to exchange for food stamps, and see what others do first, whether it is a plan or a test for us, we are not afraid, we take out fifty loads, and the government can't say anything." ”

Adversity...

Someone said: "Isn't fifty quintals too much?" ”

"Twenty loads?"

The head of the family said: "We are also a big family in the county, if we only take twenty loads out, won't the government be suspicious?" ”

"Okay, don't quarrel, just fifty loads!"

After the decision was made, the head of the family sent someone to prepare to negotiate with the people at the local grain station. After all, this is not a small amount, like those poor people, they will directly hold the grain with the dustpan, and the food of the family must first greet the government, and then send someone to pick it up.

Almost all of the above are the situation in the three northern counties, in fact, on Ling Feng's territory, almost all of them are like this, the poor people are very willing to take out their own food, and they don't want to do so much, Ling Feng said that there is a shortage of food, so they will give it, except for the grain that they support until next year's autumn harvest, the rest are taken out, and as for those family families, they are also like the family family before, worried about two problems, I don't know if Ling Feng is telling the truth or a lie, I don't know if Ling Feng is going to do the crime, or if he wants to test the family family, Since you can't figure out the situation, then take a little less, only take a few dozen loads, or take a few hundred loads like a larger family, but there is absolutely no more than a thousand loads, even if the big family family, even if he has it in the warehouse, he will not take it out, just like a big family in Kaiyuan, obviously there are more than 5,000 loads of grain in the warehouse, but only take more than 800 loads out, so he paid the difference.
