Chapter 743: It's Hard to Do Good
She was contemplating the feasibility of it.
That's true, but it's very difficult to implement.
This dynasty is not very strict about cultivating wasteland, but it does not mean that you can dig wherever you want, and most of the displaced people are some old and weak women and children, and the physically disabled.
Also, once there are more containments, then where do they live, they can't live in the open air, what if it's sunny and rainy?
Even if they could grow some food in a year, a year ago, they would have needed a lot of silver to support it, but he didn't have that much more money in his hands now.
Even if you take out all the savings of the Chu Mansion, you can barely support it, but what if you can't grow it after a year?
She had thoroughly inquired before, some fertile land is not produced much every year, if there is a natural disaster and drought, it may not be harvested, and some ordinary people have to rely on Yuxi to allocate funds every year for disaster relief.
It is too difficult to grow a mountain forest without a little fertilizer and rain, so you have to prepare for the next year or even several years, and then you will not have to drag my brother down.
"Since you said that it will be solved for you, then it will naturally be completely solved for you, not to send the Buddha to the West." Liao Tianqi opened his mouth disappreciatively.
"What's the best way to do it? You say. Chu Bing was completely speechless to him.
This person has a habit of talking, which hangs people's appetites
He doesn't satisfy your appetite, he doesn't enjoy the feeling of everyone getting drunk and walking alone, he won't say it.
It's just that this person is just right and not annoying.
"That's right, just south of your place, maybe more than 300 miles away, it used to be a small mountain village, but then there seems to be something unlucky happening in that place, I didn't inquire too much about the specifics, but it was all many years ago, since then that place has been abandoned, and the people living in it have basically moved out, but the location of that place is good, there is a water source, and the place is quite gentle, and a large number of people can move in if you pack up."
"Those displaced people have nowhere to live, and many of them don't know about it, as long as they are given something to live in, or even given them materials, they can do it themselves. And I suggest that you don't be too kind, whether it's those orphans or those homeless people, even if you want to do good deeds, don't say that you serve them like young masters. ”
"You don't have to eat enough, just give them some gruel and hang their lives, you know? There is an adult in our Fengliao country who is particularly good at doing good deeds, and I have also asked in particular, I will give you a trick today, on their side, they will collect all the old clothes and rags that some high-class nobles do not want, that is, in the name of sharing worries for the saints, so that the major cities will no longer have their beggars, and directly send maids to see if there are any old ones that are not wanted, and these will all be collected, and then cleaned and sent to those homeless people. ”
"This trick is very good, those nobles want to have a good reputation no matter what, even if they don't do any good deeds, they definitely don't want people to say that they are vicious, so it doesn't matter whether they are good or not, they will basically agree, it is a lot more cost-effective than you buying new clothes."
"What about the early stage, I counted everything I had. It's about a thousand taels of silver, and I recently got a few more shops, and bought this Zhuangzi, and now I can use up to 500 taels of money in my hand, my brother has some, and now my brother's treasury is also in my care, but if it is not a last resort, I don't want to use the silver of welfare. Chu Bing explained little by little.
It's not that she's not kind, but she just has a good heart, and she can't pull the people around her to do it with her.
My brother has a big family to support, even if my sister-in-law doesn't come back, my brother has to marry a new wife and take concubines, and he will have to raise his children in the future.
My brother also has some shops outside, but those shops also need to be turnover, and she can't use up all the money at once.
It's okay to embezzle a little, just return it like this, but if it's too much, it will push everyone into a corner.
"Shall I borrow you?" Liao Tianqi thought about it and said.
500 taels of silver is enough.
If you can take care of a few children, it's no problem, you can't use it up for many years, but if you collect all the displaced people in the capital, 500 taels of silver will not last for two months.
What's more, they have to build houses and so on, and those expenses are relatively large.
"How can this be." Chu Bing shook his head.
She just can't see those children displaced, and then they don't have a chance to work hard for the rest of their lives.
As for those homeless people, if they can help, they can help, and if they can't help, she will first take in children under the age of 10, if it is too big, then forget it, and wait until there is money in the future.
Chu Bing refused very calmly, people are not short of silver, and she may not blink her eyes if she takes tens of thousands of taels, but she doesn't want to accept it.
Whether it's a friend or another relationship, it's not always a good thing to have too many interests involved.
What's more, accepting the other party's help will make the relationship between the two people very awkward, and if you use the other party's money again, it will be unclear about the involvement of others.
She didn't even have such a good relationship with Jiaojiao, and she never said that she would let Mo Ran take some money out to help ordinary people, because she knew that it was a bottomless pit.
If you want to achieve those people to be self-reliant, it may take many years of operation, many years, and they don't know if they can live, who can wait.
What's more, even if those people are self-reliant, it doesn't mean that the money they spent will come back.
To put it bluntly, it's a pure subsidy, and once it's taken out, don't expect it to come back.
Many families are reluctant to do this.
Otherwise, would the high-class nobles be short of money?
Each family can settle all those people with a few hundred taels of silver, but if no one does this, even if you ask the family to donate, you will actually donate three or five taels.
Even many people will turn a blind eye.
Besides, there has been no war on their side recently, and their lives are quite good, and they have not reached the point of collecting donations.
"That's okay, whatever you want, think about whether you want to arrange it on your Zhuangzi first, or go to the piece of land I found first to take a look, that place can be done slowly, anyway, we are not in a hurry." Liao Tianqi knew her character, so he didn't force it.
It's just that there is still a pity in my heart, if the other party accepts, then will they have financial contacts, and when the time comes, with his cheeky kung fu, even if Chu Bing is unwilling, he can meet every once in a while.
