100. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish

"This ......," the money shopkeeper looked a little hesitant as he touched his three-layer chin.

"No, you can't!"

A woman in the crowd rushed in first, stepped between the money shopkeeper and Master Jingkong, and said loudly: "Master Jingkong is a high-ranking monk, and in the future, he will return to heaven to become an immortal." How can you leave your relics here for a bowl of porridge and be tainted with cheesiness? Our own business, we can solve it ourselves. Isn't it just a mortgage of something in exchange for porridge money? Take it, take it all! ”

The woman took out all the valuable things on her body and put them on the table, and said, "How much can you exchange for these?" ”

The money shopkeeper pursed his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, I am a money bank, not a ...... to collect rags."

"You ......"

"Eh, sister-in-law, don't be angry, don't you just want some money to buy some food for the child? I have a great idea, why don't you listen to it? ”

The woman looked suspiciously at the shopkeeper of money, who was naturally kind-hearted and not like a treacherous man, so that the woman was willing to listen to him, though she was on guard.

The money shopkeeper took two steps to the door, and then the little fat hand pointed to the east and said: "The Xuanrentang shopkeeper over there is recruiting apprentices, your little sixth son can go and apply for a job, turn around, you take the paperwork to me to withdraw the little sixth son's one-year apprenticeship money." The Jiang Renyi Jiang shopkeeper of Xuanren Hall is called Jiang Renyi, and he is the most bodhisattva-minded, you take Xiao Liuzi to tell him, and he will definitely promise to help you with this advance paperwork. ”

"Really?"

The woman looked at the money shopkeeper suspiciously, and the money shopkeeper smiled and said, "How many steps have you walked from here to Xuanren Hall?" Didn't you know if you tried it? ”

The woman went to Xuanren Hall according to her words, and when the shopkeeper heard the woman's description, he readily agreed to accept Xiao Liuzi as an apprentice, not only teaching skills, giving wages every month, but also willing to issue documents to let Xiao Liuzi advance a year's wages.

After the woman took the paperwork back to Jinmantang and successfully obtained the silver, some onlookers immediately went to Xuanrentang to apply for a job.

In the end, Dr. Jiang accepted twenty apprentices and was a handyman, and recommended the unsuitable people to Minsheng Rice Shop and Yiyantang.

In these two places, the men who have a lot of energy are collected, so that almost every family in the town has at least one person who is employed, in other words, each family has already received at least one person's salary for the next year.

In this way, who else needs to mortgage to buy porridge? Every family has the money to fill their rice jars.

Weiyang Town, where the fog has cleared, finally has some signs of prosperity.

"Amitabha, if the donor has a good heart and a good relationship, he will be blessed."

Chu Xinyue got up and saluted back, and said, "Master Jingkong is serious, and it is thanks to the fact that Master Jingkong is willing to cooperate with us because of the fact that we are able to have this scene...... It is really Jiu Niang's sin to defile the mage's Lingtai Qingming. ”

Jingkong shook his head and said, "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and the female benefactor has found a way out for each of them to make a living, which is far greater than the merit of giving a bowl of porridge." ”

"The mage has spoken."

"After this incident, the poor monk went back to the temple."

"Congratulations to the mage."

Chu Xinyue said goodbye to Jingkong here, then turned around and went back to the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the opening of the new store.

Now young men go to pharmacies, and young people go to rice shops and salt shops, but there are still a lot of human resources in Weiyang Town that have not been utilized, and that is women.

After years of war, the men are almost dead, but the women stay at home and struggle to support themselves.

She also has to open another cloth shop to teach the women to weave and tailor, and to embroider shoes and handkerchiefs.
