Chapter 395: Overnight
"You are not wrong when you said that the peasants were subjected to heavy labor and misery, but now that man-made disasters and natural disasters continue and they are forced to be displaced, do you know how many displaced people I have?" Chen Xu took a deep breath and continued, "I can't tell you the exact number, but there are definitely more than hundreds of thousands of people, they help the old and the young, live in groups of hundreds and tens, beg along the way, and sleep in the wilderness. ”
"How are you going to appease the homeless?"
The Rosewood Fairy said movingly, Chen Xu needs to spend a lot of money to build a large amount of money, and he needs a lot of money to appease the homeless, the two are almost opposite to each other, and he rushes things together to do it, and there seems to be some elements of quick success. Of course, if he can really solve these problems, it will be a great merit.
Sai Huatuo couldn't say anything, he just felt that Chen Xu was becoming more and more unfathomable, this guy seemed to know everything, everything, how did his brain grow?
"If I want to build roads, of course I need labor, and these hundreds of thousands of displaced people are ready-made labor." Chen Xu took a sip of tea and continued, "Wouldn't it be easy for me to hire them to do the work, not only to fill their stomachs, but also to pay them for their wages, so that if they can support their families, they will no longer be homeless. ”
Sai Huatuo was dumbfounded, and the red sandalwood fairy almost collapsed, it was a kind of despair that saw hope and then shattered hope, "Silver, the key is silver, you also said that the imperial court's finances are tight, and the emperor can't make ends meet, the emperor can't take out this silver, do you want to pay for it yourself?" I know you're not short of money, but even if you lose all your wealth, it's just a drop in the bucket. ”
Chen Xu rolled his eyes, "The Great Yan Imperial Court is short of money, and there are so many rich people in all parts of Great Yan, so I want to gather the wealth of the world......"
Before Chen Xu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sai Huatuo. "Stinky boy, don't blame me for not reminding you, you have to be careful, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, they may be rich and able to rival the country, but that is the income of a family's hard work for several generations or even more than ten generations, if you want to use it, how can they sit still and wait for death?"
"Private ownership is a sign that human beings have entered a civilized society, and private property is sacrosanct, and even the imperial court cannot take it without reason. I just want to help them get their wealth in circulation. ”
Chen Xu's words sounded too profound to Sai Huatuo and the others. They don't understand what difference it makes.
"So I decided to start a bank, anyone can save money in the bank, not only does it not charge a storage fee, but the bank will pay a certain amount of interest, and you can get income by sitting at home and doing nothing, do you think someone will refuse?"
"Can the interest you pay be conjured out of thin air?" The red sandalwood fairy pointed out the key to the problem.
"Of course, the bank has to provide loans to those who need it."
"You're going to be a loan shark?" Zi Sandalwood had long heard about the danger of loan sharks, and she couldn't imagine that Chen Xu would do such a thing, she felt that he was simply tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, and he was poor.
"It's a penny a year. The exact amount is subject to negotiation. ”
Rosewood was dumbfounded as if it had been immobilized by a spell, with an annual interest rate of one and five cents, which was simply giving up money.
"But ......"
Zi Tan was about to ask, but Chen Xu interrupted her. "Don't do it, it's time to go."
Rosewood: "......"
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the night completely covers the land. The three of them rushed to the Shandong border.
Chen Xu and the three of them walked into the boundary of Weishan County, and after walking for more than half an hour in the night, they failed to find a decent village or town. A frozen world. The northwest wind was blowing, no equipment, no preparation, camping in the wild was purely looking for guilt, Chen Xu persisted for more than half an hour, and finally saw people. This is a poor village, Chen Xu's conclusion is not unreasonable, the huge village can only see a few lights.
Chen Xu found a nearby house with a light on, and he was surprised to find that the firewood in the small courtyard was open.
The road is not forgotten, the night is not closed, this folk customs are so simple?
Without waiting for Chen Xu to call the door, they heard a man's impatient voice coming from the small courtyard.
"Born or not, born ......"
Chen Xu glanced at the two of them, and he faintly heard the painful moans of the woman in the room? Moaning. Chen Xu knew that this was a woman's movement before giving birth, and it was definitely inconvenient to stay overnight at this time.
"Brother, let's find another place to stay."
"That's all there is to it."
The three of them turned back to lead the horse, and Chen Xu suddenly said, "I suddenly thought of a true story that is quite in line with the current artistic conception." ”
The two of them pricked up their ears and listened, and Chen Xu said quietly, "It is said that there is a stable woman in a mountainous area, and one night a distinguished guest invited him to deliver the baby. When I arrived at the man's house to deliver the mistress, I realized that something was wrong, and guess what? ”
"Having a difficult birth?" Sewartuo thinks from a doctor's point of view.
"Really had a difficult birth?" Zi Sandalwood also asked, the cold wind came out, and she felt a little cold.
"There is no difficult birth, this woman actually gave birth to a sextuplet......"
How can it be? Saihuatuo interrupted Chen Xu's words, triplets generally can't be raised, should you be a sow?
“… Wen Po also felt strange, and then she found that every child had a small tail behind her buttocks, and the cold sweat came out at that time, this is the legendary fox fairy. ”
As soon as Chen Xu mentioned the fox fairy, Zi Sandalwood felt a cold sweat break out around her body, girls were naturally afraid of this kind of gods and ghosts, she couldn't help but stand closer to Chen Xu.
"Nonsense!" Saihuatuo scolded with a smile.
Chen Xu retorted, "This is definitely a true story, and people also give that stable eggs and noodles." But when I got home, I found that it was just dry branches and stones. Speaking of this, seeing Rosewood's trembling appearance, he said mischievously, "Hey, Rosewood, why do you have a tail behind you, and it's still hairy......"
Rosewood suddenly let out a high-pitched scream, which was heard in the night sky, far and wide, and even woke up the sleeping birds.
"Big nephew, something is wrong, the fetal position is not correct, and your daughter-in-law can't give birth."
At this moment, Chen Xu heard the news of "difficult birth", and the two men were okay to say, but Zi Tan hugged Chen Xu regardless of his image. Is this really a coincidence? It's too weird, isn't it?
"What to do? What to do? ”
This was the anxious voice of the eldest nephew, and Chen Xu suddenly felt that this voice was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"Big nephew, don't worry, and listen to the old man. Forty miles north from here, there is a Wong Tai Sin, with magical powers, I heard that as long as he recites a few spells, he can bring the fetal position right, you should go and beg him now, maybe it will be too late......"
Then, Chen Xu and the three of them saw a burly sweat kicking open the firewood and running out, and they were overjoyed to see the horse.
"Brother, borrow a horse."
"Dong Daxing? How did you get here? ”
Chen Xu grabbed the burly man's sleeve, and he said in surprise...... (To be continued......)
