Zhao Runzhi's method can be regarded as a thorough implementation of "teaching people to fish, it is better to teach people to fish." "Everyone in this world has to rely on their own labor to survive.
However, these refugees have fled to the foot of the imperial city, and he also suggested that they must first see what the court is doing before deciding whether to move.
First of all, these are the emperor's people, although Shen Junru is a woman, she also represents the Shen family, if she does well, she will be rewarded, but if she doesn't do well, she will attract criticism.
Although Shen Junru didn't want that reward, she definitely didn't want to implicate the Shen family and be criticized.
During the discussion, the carriage had already arrived in front of the city gate, and sure enough, the city gate, which had been opened for less than a moment in the morning, had been closed, and the guards of the city gate had been strengthened.
Shen Junru felt a burst of anger in her heart, and then opened the curtain and looked at the people guarding the city gate.
"Whose do you mean that?"
"I heard that it was an order from above, saying that it was to prevent the refugees from behind from entering the city, didn't this lock us all out, and we couldn't get in."
"If we can't get in today, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in! I used to be a small trader, and my family lived outside the city, and every morning I had to carry these two baskets of vegetables five or six miles into the city to buy vegetables. โ
An old man sighed.
"You're okay, if you can't sell vegetables, at least you can go home, what about me? I just went to the village outside the city to see my sick aunt, and this is good, I can't go back. โ
There are many more like this.
Shen Junru felt a burst of resentment in her heart.
"Is that all of it? It's too much! โ
"Those refugees will be there soon, and I'm afraid that the scene will be chaotic, and it will be difficult to enter the city again."
Zhao Runzhi said earnestly.
"If the country gives them no hope of life, do you think they will sit back and die, or will they rise up and resist?"
There may be people who don't want to resist, but most people can withstand instigation in the face of life and death?
This is a disaster for the great cadres and a test for the great cadres, not only for the people but also for those in power.
But at this time, if you give them a little hope, even if it's just a little bit, it will definitely not let them fight back from afar.
What will the Holy Ones do today?
It is a pity that Feng Min left the capital at this time, but at this time, it is the best time to gain people's hearts.
"Mr. Zhao, the plan you just told me is very feasible, it just so happens that I bought a mountain a few days ago and I need manpower, can you help me?"
"Miss Shen has the righteousness of the world in her heart, Zhao admires it, she is busy, and she is doing her best."
Looking at the people who kept gathering at the city gate, I believed that it would not be long before the fleeing victims would come.
"It's not easy to get out of the city after entering the city..."
Shen Junru frowned slightly, looked at the vegetables and fruits that she was picking, and said.
"Don't go into the city over there."
As he spoke, Shen Junru jumped out of the carriage with both hands on his hands and said to the old man.
"Uncle, can you sell me your food? At the price you usually sell, okay? โ
"Okay, okay, girl, thank you so much, thank you so much, it's a waste if you can't sell it, so I'll sell it half and give it to the girl."
"Thank you uncle, but the uncle also has to support his family, just give me some discounts."
The old man who sold vegetables was so happy that he even gave two boxes to Shen Junru, and he couldn't enter the city, so he didn't have to rush here these days.
Some of the other hawkers were a little red-eyed and had the courage to recommend themselves to Shen Junru.
"Girl, look, our dish is quite fresh, can the girl have some?"
Shen Junru nodded and said.
"As long as it's cheaper, I'll buy everyone's dishes."
"Discount, discount, inevitable discount, this girl is really kind."
Some people who were picking up the dishes hurriedly said.
Now they may not know that in the face of disaster, no amount of silver can be exchanged for a meal of food and clothing.
Not to mention those who have lost their homes.
Even if it is the closest distance from Huainan, the fastest speed to escape to the capital will take half a month to a month, but how long will it take for the disaster to come?
Was it a cover-up by local officials or was there something wrong with the delivery of the information?
It is a capital offense to conceal such things and not report them.
However, if the local officials are afraid of responsibility, they block the news and want to suppress the matter, but they can't hold it back before reporting it, which is not impossible. It's just that this is just Shen Junru's speculation at the moment. What the facts are, Shen Junru does not know.
"Let's go back as soon as everyone sells vegetables, and when the refugees come, what the government will do with it, it's hard to say."
"Yes, yes, this girl is very right, it seems that the city gate will not be opened today, let's hurry up, in case the wait will start to drive people, it is not a joke to move your fists."
Everyone said one after another, and then they left in groups, and there were only a few undead people in front of the city gate, waiting to open the door and go home.
"Miss Shen, what are you doing with so many vegetables and fruits? Where to eat. โ
Mrs. Zhao asked.
"When the refugees come, they will be hungry all the way, and they will be turned away, I plan to build a porridge shack over there, and I can help a little bit first. In the name of the Shen Mansion, even if the saint knew about it, he would definitely not blame it. โ
"The saint will not blame, but he is afraid that the people of the crown prince or the third prince will stir up trouble and rush to treat these refugees in front of the court, which is to slap them in the face. If you are charged with maliciously buying people's hearts..."
Zhao Runzhi said that he hesitated in his heart, in the end, he is a person who knows the way of being an official, and he can always see what others can't see.
Shen Junru said.
"Besides, I don't believe that the refugees are here, and our saint will see death and not be saved, if that's the case, then... Da Qian is really hopeless. โ
"Miss Shen, don't say this again in the future."
Zhao Runzhi hurriedly made a "shhhh
Hooking the corners of her mouth slightly, Shen Junru chuckled.
"I know that there will be refugees coming one after another, and the first batch will be unstoppable, Brother Zhao, can you help me bring the refugees behind me to a place called Taoyuan Village, about twenty kilometers outside the city, of course, you have to make it clear in advance, it is only to temporarily accommodate them, and they are willing to pay for the laborers to stay, if you just want to take the opportunity to eat and drink, you are not welcome there."
"I also have a worry, so many people, if the court knows about it, it will cause unnecessary trouble."
The most fearful thing for the court is that the courtiers cultivate their own power, hire and train private soldiers, and if the tiger and dragon collapse, how can they allow others to sleep soundly?
"It's all a group of old and weak women and children, and I can't take care of so much for the time being."
