Chapter 207: Shengmien fights Mi Hatred
"Brother Yi'er, I know what you want to do."
"But in this matter, you have to listen to your cousin's advice no matter what."
"The way of this world is to save the emergency and not the poor, otherwise even if you scatter all your wealth, you will not end up with half a good word."
When listening to Yunhua's account of what happened today, Uncle Tang had actually guessed the purpose of Yunyi's invitation to come.
At this time, seeing that things were as he expected, he even smiled bitterly and expressed his objection.
After all, even the imperial court has no way to completely solve this kind of thing.
Yunyi wants to change the status quo by himself, and if he doesn't do it, he will be burned.
"Uncle Cousin, I've thought about this all the way."
"I'm not unaware of the concerns you mentioned."
"But if it really makes me watch such a thing happen in our Taoyuan Village, I'm afraid that for the rest of my life, I will have a bad conscience."
As a traverser, Uncle Cousin was worried about something, how could Yunyi not know.
It's just that when he saw the bones in the cellar, all his sanity was completely shattered.
"Brother Yi'er, you only cared about reading before, so you didn't pay attention to such things."
"From ancient times to the present, whenever the cold winter comes, how can there be people who do not freeze to death and starve to death?"
"Although the tax burden of our Great Zhou Dynasty is not high, for ordinary people, a year of hard work is actually barely enough to make ends meet."
"In the event of a disaster or accident, almost most people have to tighten their belts to get by."
"In these years, every family has its own difficulties, and every family has its own reasons for poverty."
"Some people can't survive, it's because of diseases and disasters, and if this kind of person can help, everyone will help."
"Some people can't survive, purely because they are lazy, and if you help this kind of person, it will be a bottomless pit."
"For example, that Zhou Laosi, if he is willing to farm steadily, even if he can't have enough food and clothing, he will definitely not let his children starve to death."
"And even if you deliver food to his family, they won't necessarily be happy to give it to the child."
Seeing that Yun Yi didn't listen to persuasion at all, Uncle Yun Hai next to him also smiled helplessly and explained to Yun Yi.
"Brother Yi, since you started building a house, you have been distributing money to everyone through various methods."
"Those fruits and osmanthus flowers in the mountains, everyone knows that they are not worth much, but you are willing to buy them at a high price."
"When other people build houses, everyone is basically volunteered to help, and only you are the only one who not only manages everyone's food, but also pays their wages."
"Now your sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law are still earning your wages in the workshop."
"But you don't sell the thread they spun."
"With your generosity, the people in the village who are willing to work and contribute will basically not go hungry anymore, so now everyone is very grateful to you."
"But there is one thing you have to remember, Shengmien fights Mi Hate."
"If you are too generous, some people will take it for granted that you are good to them."
"When the time comes, once you reduce the benefits you give them, or you can't afford to give them any more, then they will become your enemies."
As soon as Uncle Yun Hai's words fell, the cousin next to him was afraid that Yun Yi would not listen to it, so he simply broke it and crumpled it for Yun Yi to analyze.
Hearing the two of them persuading him bitterly, Yun Yi couldn't help but be moved in his heart.
From the words of the two, Yunyi can clearly feel their love for him.
It's just that they don't know these truths themselves!
Although he knew that in addition to disease and disaster, the biggest culprit of poverty was laziness.
And Uncle Cousin is worried about such a part of the people.
But as soon as Yun Yi thought of those cold bones, he felt that he had to do something.
"Uncle Cousin, Uncle Yunhai, I actually understand what you said."
"But if I was to watch those children freeze and starve to death, I really couldn't bear it."
"You see if this will work, adults, we don't have to worry about it, we just need to make sure that those children stutter."
"In fact, those children can't eat much, and even if the money in my hand allows the children in the village to eat until the beginning of spring next year, it will be enough."
According to Yunyi's original idea, he was originally going to open a charity hall in the workshop.
But after listening to the persuasion of Uncle Cousin and Uncle Yun Hai, he changed his mind temporarily.
Uncle Cousin, what they said is actually right, since they built their own houses, they have not subsidized those people in the village.
Those who really can't eat today are either because of illness and disaster, or simply because of laziness.
Those who can't survive because of diseases and disasters, even if they don't do it themselves, the rest of the village will not watch them not survive.
For those who are poor because they are lazy, although Yunyi is also very angry, he doesn't want to watch the children suffer with them.
After all, in the homes of these lazy people, the first to suffer must be the children.
"Brother Yi'er, I know you have a kind heart, but even if you have more money, how many children can you save?"
"If you don't do this kind of thing all the time, no one will say anything."
"But once you start doing it, and you can't stick to it later, you're going to be poked in the back and scolded your ancestors."
Seeing that Yunyi was still thinking about helping those children, Uncle Cousin couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Yi, your cousin is right."
"Unless you can find a livelihood where everyone can work and earn money in the winter."
"Otherwise, this thing must not be done just by handing out."
"Although the mountains have been closed by heavy snow now, our Taoyuan Village is backed by the mountains, as long as those who are willing to work hard, can they really starve to death?"
"Even those half-grown children know that firewood in the winter is more expensive than at other times."
"But some people would rather go hungry than go into the mountains and chop a bundle of firewood."
"If this matter is opened, then there will be countless troubles waiting for you."
Uncle Yun Hai said as he added some charcoal to the charcoal basin.
"Uncle Cousin, Uncle Yunhai, thank you!"
When Uncle Cousin and Uncle Yun Hai kept persuading, Yun Yi had actually begun to reflect.
The reason why he wanted to do something was just that after seeing those bones, his heart was greatly shocked.
Now that I heard Uncle Yunhai say that he wanted to find a livelihood for the people in the village that he could do in winter, Yunyi's thinking returned to the normal track.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, how can he Yunyi not know.
Now that my mind is out of the dead end, my mind is active.
"You kid, what's polite, we all know that you are kind."
Seeing that Yun Yi didn't mention the stubble just now, Uncle Tang and Uncle Yun Hai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's just that before they could put Shen Youwei's warm wine in their mouths, Yunyi's excited voice made them almost choke themselves.
"I remember that there should be coalcoal on the West Mountain, right?"
