Chapter 59: There's still meat in this porridge
"There's still meat foam in this porridge, I haven't smelled meat for a long time."
"Boss Jingyixuan is really a good person?"
"Mother, this porridge is delicious!"
……
When the cold carriage came, there was still a long queue at the entrance of Jingyi Xuan.
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
"It seems that Jing Yixuan is giving porridge, so there are a lot of beggars gathered."
Leng Han lifted the curtain and looked outside, Shu Ruozheng was putting a piece of clothing on a female baby. Glancing at her frozen red hand, her expression darkened.
"Go, call her."
What's wrong with the prince, it was okay just now, Anzi looked puzzled and walked towards Shu Ruo. Before he could speak, Shu Ruo spotted him.
"Anzi, is the prince here? Help me tell him to wait a while, and I'll explain and go over. After that, he went to talk to someone.
Anzi didn't see anything to do with himself, and went back to reply to his prince.
After explaining, Shu Ruo got into the cold carriage.
"Is there enough rice?"
"Enough, Sister Qin only cooked a hundred catties of rice today, but it was a night of soup soup today."
"How do you think of soup kitchen?" This Nizi doesn't feel sorry for the silver anymore. It's also that she's generous in helping the weak, just look at her taking in the yard full of people.
"It's so cold, no one goes out, they don't have to eat, and it's hard for them to survive this winter."
"Do you need this king to do anything?"
"You pay for the meat!" Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Shu Ruo's eyes. Hey! The meat is gone today, and I will buy it tomorrow.
"Meat money?"
"Hey, hey! Meat foam was placed in the porridge. ”
"You're generously tight." You can hear a hint of helplessness mixed with pampering in this voice.
"Just drinking porridge is enough to keep out the cold. You just say you can't get this money, right? ”
Leng Han didn't respond, and directly proved it with his actions, and threw Shu Ruo a money bag. Shu Ruo immediately opened it to check, one hundred taels, how can this money bag only be one hundred taels. Thinking of the day I just crossed over, the money bag I threw to myself was also a hundred taels.
"I thank you for the poor people, and I will tell them that you paid for the meat in the porridge." Shu Ruo thanked him very sincerely.
"No problem." You are so kind, this king hopes that one day you will not be hurt by your kindness.
The Imperial Study.
"In the past few days, the heavy snow in Yanjing and the surrounding areas has not caused a snow disaster, but there are already ministers who have played it, and they are worried that the displaced people who have stopped here have not been properly resettled, and I am afraid that they will not be able to survive this winter. What can you do? The emperor said worriedly.
"Father, as far as the retainers know, since the heavy snow for several days, there have been no cases of deaths affected by the heavy snow in Yanjing. It can be seen that these displaced people have been properly arranged everywhere this year. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you shouldn't have been out of the palace for a long time!"
"Second brother, what do you mean?"
"Father, the son only returned to Yanjing City yesterday, the heavy snow has reached more than a foot thick for several days, I thought that the road into the city is as difficult as the surrounding Yanjing, but there is no trace of snow on the main road after entering the city, but the road is full of thick snow, and the travel is not affected by the heavy snow. Why is this so? Speaking of this, the second prince paused coldly.
"Why is that?" The emperor was a little anxious.
Erchen went to visit for this purpose, and learned that the owners of the two shops of Jingyi Xuan Jingshang had been giving porridge in the city for three days. And the snow on those roads was handled by the homeless people who went to get the porridge. ”
"And here's it, let's talk about it in detail."
The cold boil is eloquent. It turned out that after Shu Ruo went back that day, he felt that the carriage was moving slowly, and there was too much snow on the road, which was particularly inconvenient. There are fewer pedestrians on the road, and the shops are closed, not only because of the cold, but also because of the inconvenience of walking in the snow.
Reform was carried out for soup kitchens, and people who came to receive soup were organized to clear the snow on the roads. In addition to providing three meals a day, the people who received the porridge were also grouped, and each group was rewarded with silver money for completing the task on time or exceeding the task, although it was not much, but it completely inspired everyone. At the same time, it also avoids the fact that those who are greedy for small and cheap to receive porridge, but those who come to receive porridge are all earned through labor.
If you want to talk about how this silver reward came from, Shu Ruo originally planned to pay out of her own pocket, she was lucky, Leng Yan came with the tenth princess that day, and took the initiative to withdraw this silver. Save this money, let alone be happier.
After listening to the cold talk.
"This owner of Jingyi Xuan Jingshang is really a wonderful person, this method is not bad. He is a man with a heart. I think my Datang has been prosperous over the years, but I can't resist the big gap between the rich and the poor, and I have also thought of many ways to improve the lives of those poor people over the years, but they have all cured the symptoms but not the root cause. There are still many people in Yanjing City who can't eat. And although this wonderful man's method will not improve the lives of the displaced people, he allows the displaced people to support themselves, and at the same time brings convenience to Yanjing City. ”
"Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters really admired this person through the visit. The method he promoted, the sons could not have imagined. "It's cold, and the eyes are shining.
"What is the name of this wonderful person, and who is it? I have a lot of rewards. ”
"This person's name is Shu Ruo, but it's strange that no one knows who he is, only that he was just selling paintings on the street at the beginning."
"Oh? It's okay, as long as you don't violate my Datang law, what does the origin mean. His method of soup soup is very good, and several towns around Yanjing will be handed over to the second child to implement. ”
"Yes, the retainer is commanded."
"As for this Shu Ruo, the crown prince, you go and find out if it can be owned by the imperial court." Prince, don't waste all my hard work.
"Yes, the retainer is commanded."
The entrance of Jingyi Xuan.
A middle-aged man in thin and tattered clothes walked to Sister Qin's winter coat.
"I want a cotton coat."
"Take out the ribbon and take a look."
……
The middle-aged man didn't understand what it meant.
"First time to get porridge?"
"Yes."
In fact, there were more clothes on the first two days, and there were very few after that, mainly in case people around Yanjing heard the news.
"So which lot did you get asto?"
……
"Haven't you split it yet?"
"Nope."
"Registered?"
"Isn't it possible to get a winter coat if you register with you? Then I promised to work on Jing Yi Xuan in the future. ”
Hearing this, Sister Qin frowned, she said this on the first day of the porridge, but it was changed on the second day, what is this person. Could it be that they came here after hearing the news of the first day? I was about to explain the new rules to him.
"Isn't this the rich man Liu who slammed the door, and he also came to receive the porridge, and his family still lacked that porridge. Is it because this porridge is so delicious? But why is he dressed so worn? ”
I don't know who said this, but several people in the crowd found out.
"It seems to be the rich man Liu, the rich man Liu is slamming and greedy for cheapness on weekdays, but the cheap here are all greedy, and he won't let us live."
"Look at the tattered clothes, it looks like he's here to cheat and eat and drink."
……
Hearing this, Sister Qin knew what was going on.
"You just said that it was the first day, the rules have already changed, the first time you come to register, assign a group, get the ribbon after the work, and use the ribbon to receive porridge and come to me to receive cotton clothes."
Rich Lord Liu saw that he was recognized, it can be seen that Sister Qin has not spoken and has a fluke mentality, and now that Sister Qin said this, she knew that the cotton clothes were useless, so she glared at Sister Qin angrily, and walked angrily.
The prince, who saw all this in the crowd, pulled a lively person and asked, "Little brother, what is that ribbon?" ”
"You don't even know the ribbon, you just came."
"Well, I happened to be passing by today, and I was curious for a while, can I tell me."
"Seeing that you are also a rich and noble person, you don't need this ribbon, I will satisfy your curiosity. The owner of Jing Yi Xuan divides the people who want to receive the porridge into several groups to deal with the snow in each street, and after the meal, the group leader will distribute the ribbons to receive the porridge, and the ribbons will be returned to the soup kitcheners. In this way, everyone who lives can drink porridge, and avoid those who are lazy and greedy for money. ”
"That's a good idea."
"Don't worry, there's more! Every day, the owner of Jingyi Xuan will allocate the amount of tasks, and those who exceed the task will also be rewarded with silver coins. Because everyone has been working, they don't feel cold, they can eat enough and get money, and they are all working hard. The most important thing is that you can see that the streets are clean and snow-free, which is convenient for everyone's daily travel. I can come out and set up a stall. This Jingyi Xuan owner is really a good person. ”
"Thank you, little brother."
