Chapter 41: Helping the Displaced People
Chapter 41
Rong Ruo never felt that he was such a kind person, but when he saw so many homeless people at first glance, and they were all women and children, he couldn't help but feel some compassion.
Besides, if she is a highly educated person, she can't see death without help.
Thinking of this cold day, those homeless people may not even have a place to stay, and Rong Ruo can't sleep peacefully.
There are also those who were locked up outside the city by Gu Xianzhi, they didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and Gu Xianzhi didn't care about it, so he directly turned them away from the city gate, such an act is really worthy of the people's parents.
Rong Ruo had always thought that he was just a little greedy for money, but now it seems that he is not worthy of the official uniform on his body at all.
In such a feudal world without human rights, Rong Ruo finally realized how sad it is to describe the situation described by human life as a mustard.
Since Gu Xianzhi took the path of the prime minister to make this county order, acting like this can only show the corruption of the current imperial court.
What's more, just after learning that the relationship between Gu Xianzhi and Gongsun Nian was still so close, Rong Ruo suddenly moved away from Gu Xianzhi's thoughts.
No matter what Gu Xianzhi did, although her strength was weak, after knowing the situation, she couldn't do it anyway.
On the second day, early in the morning, Rong Ruo called Kuang Yao and asked him to count how many homeless people in the city now have no fixed residence and no financial resources.
After a few months of co-opting arrangement, it is not an exaggeration to say that Kuang Yao knows everything about the county town, but after half a day's work, Kuang Yao brought an approximate data.
It turned out that most of the displaced people in the city were ordinary residents of the border towns of Shuofang County, because they were the first to be plundered by the Xiongnu, and most of the men over fifteen years old in their homes were conscripted to resist the enemy, so they also escaped at the first time.
It's just that they are just old and weak women and children, and there are no cars and horses at home, and there are no strong laborers, so they can only carry a few valuable things with them, and they can barely get here, which is already the limit, where will there be extra money to live decently.
And because they are either old, weak, sick and disabled, or women and children, they have no ability to earn money, so they can only beg for a living.
As for Gu Xianzhi's reason for closing the city gate for fear of an accident, it is also a cover-up.
According to Kuang Yao's investigation, those who have recently made trouble in the city have nothing to do with these displaced people, but they are victims.
The reason for this was that the ruffians in the city found that some of them still had one or two things that were valuable, so they got up and began to rob them.
The homeless people are ordinary people first, and they are newcomers, so naturally they can only suffer this dumb loss, so there have been so many theft accidents recently, but in the end, because no one cares, it can only be a headless case.
Rong Ruo listened to Kuang Yao's words, and slapped the table angrily.
People's husbands and sons sacrificed their lives for the country in order to resist foreign enemies, and in the previous life, these people are the families of martyrs and heroes, which is the supreme glory, but what about here......
It's just a group of beggar-like characters that few people will look at more, and the gap is too big!
Gu Xianzhi knew that this villain did not help take in the soup kitchen and these people, but let them fend for themselves, these are not counted, he actually ordered those people outside the city who are likely to be the families of martyrs and heroes to be turned away from the city gate.
Oh, if officials everywhere act like this, I believe it won't be long if it goes on like this, but I'm afraid that if I don't have to wait for the Huns to fight, my own country will be in chaos first.
However, none of this has anything to do with Rong Ruo for the time being, and her immediate priority is to do her best to give some help to those who deserve help.
Fortunately, there are only three or four hundred displaced people in the city who have no financial means, and Rong Ruo can still afford it.
When Kuang Yao heard that Rong wanted to help those homeless people get through the difficulties, a surging force suddenly surged in his heart.
He really didn't follow the wrong person.
Although it has always been Kuang Yao's ideal to get ahead and become a general, his original ambition in his heart was to show the poor people around him a clear way.
Since he took over Rong Ruo's task of collecting intelligence, he has seen with his own eyes how difficult it is for people who are poorer than him to live, and how extravagant those rich families are.
In contrast, although Kuang Yao does not hate the rich, he also complains about those black-hearted businessmen who have money but still squeeze the fruits of the labor of the poor.
As for Rong Ruo, since he recognized someone else as his master, he naturally had to take the interests of his master as his purpose, but he was always glad that Rong Ruo was not the kind of businessman he hated.
But no matter how fortunate he was, he never dared to think that Rong Ruo would act so generously.
This act can be called great mercy.
With such a master, Kuang Yao felt that he was a little floating when he walked.
"I'll arrange it, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint Childe in this matter!"
Kuang Yao couldn't say how to describe his mood at the moment, in short, at this moment, he felt that what Rong Ruo ordered was more exciting than the general himself asked him to join the army.
After Kuang Yao got out of Rong Ruo's residence, he first found someone to buy a pot to boil porridge, the rice is ready-made, we have it ourselves, this is simple.
In terms of residence, there is still a deserted empty place in the east of the city, which can be simply put up by the grass hut first, temporarily sheltered from the wind and rain, and then slowly build a house......
Rong Ruo looked at Kuang Yao's feet, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but smile easily.
It seems that she has found the right person, this Kuang Yao is a kind-hearted young man.
In this way, in just two days, a homeless house appeared out of thin air in the east of Longzhong County.
When the county magistrate Gu Xianzhi received the news, the streets and alleys in the city were almost invisible to a beggar.
Those who have the strength to exert their strength, and those who don't have the strength to do some chores, although there are still some lazy people who steal and cheat, but after a few days, they were driven out of the homeless house by Kuang Yao and begged for a living again.
Rong Ruo looked at Kuang Yao's work efficiency and nodded with satisfaction.
Here, in Zi Yifang, after Zi Xuan heard about Rong Ruo's actions, she also contributed part of her savings to help those homeless people.
"Young Master Rong, why are you doing this!"
Gu Xianzhi saw that Rong was not on a whim, but really planned to support these homeless people for a long time, so he suddenly couldn't sit still and came over to persuade him.
For Gu Xianzhi, those homeless people are just some lowly people, if Rong wastes all his money on them, then it is better to take it out for himself!
"Master Gu, these are the families and relatives of the soldiers at the border gates, and they sacrificed their lives for the country, isn't it natural for me to do this?"
