Chapter 30: Holding in circles
"Do you have any plans for today?" Nan Wuyang asked inadvertently, he wanted to see what this woman could do in a place like Yueyang City, which was already very wealthy.
"I do have something I want to discuss with you today." Liu Qianwen nodded.
"What's the matter?"
"I'd like to go to West Street, would you like to come along?"
West Street? Nan Wuyang's brows furrowed slightly, West Street, some ordinary people live there, and their food and clothing are worry-free, but it is also difficult for people over there to buy valuables.
It's good, what is Liu Qianwen going to do there, isn't it enough to buy the land on North Street?
You must know that when Liu Qianwen went to North Street to give alms to beggars, it was a storm in the city.
It was he who suppressed it and didn't let the news spread.
After all, a beggar slum like North Street is a place that everyone regards as an outlier, and even the people of West Street don't want to go.
Liu Qianwen saw Nan Wuyang thoughtfully, thinking that her words made him feel embarrassed.
If you don't go, you won't go, and she won't force him.
Although he didn't know Nan Wuyang's body, it could be seen that he was also particular about his clothes and words.
And he is so business-minded, even if he is not a high-ranking official, he should be the son of a wealthy family. Before she accompanied her to North Street to check, she was already very embarrassed by him.
In Liu Qianwen's heart, she subconsciously blamed Nan Wuyang's anger that day, and embarrassed him and her to go to North Street, a place where birds don't lay eggs.
In fact, Nan Wuyang was angry only because Liu Qianwen was disobedient and wanted to give the silver taels to the old beggar grandmother and grandson, which caused unnecessary trouble.
What he was more worried about was the safety of Liu Qianwen.
After all, North Street is full of people who have not eaten enough, have never seen silver, and even the government calls them mobs, if Liu Qianwen does not listen to the persuasion, it is likely that she will be injured because of the competition of those people!
Although Nan Wuyang was curious about why Liu Qianwen wanted to go to West Street, she didn't ask, anyway, what she wanted to say, she would say it.
"I'll go." Nan Wuyang agreed.
After a little preparation, the two went to West Street, where although it was not as poor as North Street, the housing conditions were not too good, and it was some ordinary tiled houses.
Like East Street and South Street, some of the people living on the street are relatively wealthy, and the worse they live at the end of the street.
On the street, there are some vendors selling snacks and pastries, as well as some daily necessities.
Walking to the end of the street, Liu Qianwen found that although the people here lived on West Street, the food was not very good.
The woman removed the moldy spots from the skin, put them on the fire, roasted them for a while, and then took them to the family to eat.
Liu Qianwen felt a little bad in her heart.
"Why aren't people here willing to do something good to help these people?" Liu Qianwen muttered to herself.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish." Nan Wuyang knew very well what Liu Qianyu was thinking.
She was a kind woman, and when she first saw North Street, she had an argument with him over the matter of giving alms to silver.
Now, seeing such a living situation on West Street, she will naturally feel compassion.
However, it is still the same sentence, she can help for a while, but she can't help for a lifetime.
"By the way, I came to West Street today to discuss things with you here."
"The faith in this world is imperial power, gods and Buddhas, and they lack some spiritual food, so why don't we start from this aspect."
"Food for thought?" Nan Wuyang gradually became suspicious, "What are the spiritual food you are talking about?" ”
"My so-called spiritual food is just something, something to pass the time."
"I found that in some wealthy families, the people who pass the time either hold tea parties, or go to the theater and listen to books together, repeating day after day, don't you feel very boring? If I schedule some after-entertainment programs in my free time, will they find it fresh? ”
"What other entertainment shows do you have?" Nan Wuyang is very curious, besides listening to books and watching plays, what else can there be?
"One of them, just like the talent show in Huayueyuan now, there are also dances and singing, you can do it."
"Singing. Are you talking about singing? "What's the difference between singing and watching a play?
Nan Wuyang's heart was itching, and he couldn't wait to discover all the fresh ideas in this woman's mind.
"Something like a ballad. In this way, I will go back today and make good arrangements, and tomorrow I will let the girl in Huayuan Courtyard sing a song for you. ”
"The labor we need can be recruited, if the recruitment price is too high, we can train the workers ourselves, agree to the training, sign a contract with them, after the training is completed, work for us for three years, within three years, they can only work for us, otherwise we will pay high liquidated damages, of course, we can pay them the remuneration they deserve for the three years of work, of course, if they are willing to stay after three years, we can continue to hire."
"If the people here in West Street, if we can pay more than they can work in the fields, then do you think they are willing to work with us? Or would you rather work in the field? ”
When Liu Qianwen said this, her eyes flashed with excitement.
It's just that Nan Wuyang disagrees with her idea a little, "In Huayue Garden, what work can they do." ”
Isn't it only girls who can go there?
Liu Qianwen disagreed, "There is more work, sweeping the floor can be done, and washing dishes can also be done." ”
"There are more and more girls who come to Huayueyuan to apply for jobs, the chef who ate us before said that his workload is getting bigger and bigger, if there is no helper, he can't do it alone, why don't we pick some diligent people from here to do it?"
"In other words, Huayue Yuan is like the home of those high-ranking families, wouldn't it be good for us to invite some subordinates to share our work? Those dignitaries and nobles can pass the time by watching our programs, and they make money with us, and we hire them, and we pay them, and every man takes what he needs, why not do it? ”
There are few rich people and many poor people, and even if they are rich, they may not be able to recruit all the people, and some large-scale factories such as cloth mills generally only have female workers, and there will be no men.
Wouldn't it be nice if she set a precedent that men could be recruited, and that these people would not have to do coolies and do some light labor?
Liu Qianwen did this, which is equivalent to solving their survival problem, if it is implemented on a large scale across the country, then there will be no more gap between the rich and the poor in this world.
If the emperor can be like Liu Qianwen, then his country will be the richest country among the three kingdoms, and when the time comes, the dream of the first emperor's 'unification of the world' can be realized?
It just so happened that he made the imperial brother suspicious because of the assassination, and if he used this to help the imperial brother, could he lift the emperor's suspicion of him?
"Qianwen, you are really my lucky star!" Nan Wuyang happily hugged Liu Qianwen and turned it hard, and Liu Qianyu was turned into a meat and eight vegetarian dishes.
Finally stopped, and Nan Wuyang laughed. The sound is deafening.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had never been so close to a man, thinking that he was holding him just now, Liu Qianwen's face became unnatural.
She coughed lightly and awkwardly shifted the subject.
"By the way, I also have an idea, there are many people who do good deeds, but there are not many people who insist on doing good deeds, we can insist on behalf of those who do good deeds, so that we can not only get a good reputation, but also let people who are really in trouble solve their difficulties."
Those who have a lot of money can do good deeds with a hundred taels of silver at a time, but they will not spend a hundred taels a day on those who need it.
In other words, it's not that there are few good people in this world, it's that they can't persevere.
Nan Wuyang was very curious about what way Liu Qianwen would make those people persevere.
"The method is very simple, they donate money, we set up an organization to take care of their money, and when the time comes, where will the money go and what will be used? One stroke at a time, we wrote clearly in black and white. ”
"As for publicity, we can use the bank. Our money bank, and other places are different, they deposit not only we do not charge management fees, but also give dividends and interest to them, I believe that soon, our money bank will be famous all over the world, we can set up such a money bank all over the country, and in the name of the money village vigorously publicize, save time and effort, why not? ”
Nan Wuyang stood in place and turned his head to look at the living conditions of the people on West Street.
His brows furrowed slightly, what Liu Qianwen proposed was novel, he didn't say that he had seen it, he had never heard of it, if it was really implemented, he would probably encounter a lot of problems.
It's not that he's timid, but that he must be far-sighted to do such a thing, otherwise, if he can't solve the problem, that is the biggest failure.
"So what do we do first?" Nan Wuyang looked back at Liu Qianyu.
"Let's go back first, and then discuss how to do the first step." She glanced at the sky, it was almost noon, let's go back and solve the problem of food and clothing first.
The two returned to Flower Moon Garden.
During the meal, Miriam Lau's heart was not at ease, and her mind was full of the living conditions of the people on West Street and North Street.
She wanted to help them, but she didn't feel strong enough.
Perhaps, when he will grow his career, he can set up a charity hall to adopt orphans, or set up a hope primary school, so that those who cannot study can receive an orthodox education.
"Master." At this moment, Wu Ding suddenly appeared, and his face was extremely pale.
Nan Wuyang secretly said that it was not good, he sent Wu Ding to do other things, and when there was a new situation, Wu Ding rarely rashly told him during the day.
This looks like a representative, something is wrong!
Sure enough, after Wu Ding handed the small note in his hand to Nan Wuyang, he fell to the ground.
"Yuzhu, Du Zhen, go help!" Liu Qianwen on the side, after Wu Ding came in, her thoughts were interrupted.
