Chapter 104: How to live the rest of the day
But closing your eyes is only for a moment.
A few seconds later, Ning Bei opened his eyes again.
This time, there was a little sparkle in his eyes.
It was tears.
But the tears did not flow out of his eyes after all, but gradually became firm!
If even he, a modern man, is not willing to go to this earthly purgatory, then who else can help them?
Due to the limitations of history, the people of the Tang Dynasty could not help the people of the Tang Dynasty.
He understands that.
Helping a homeless person is just adding a mouth to the family, which is not much.
To help 10 displaced people, you need people from wealthy families.
It takes a rich man to help a hundred homeless people.
But what about helping a thousand, 10,000, or even 100,000 displaced people who are about to starve to death?
This is definitely what the Tang Dynasty can do!
Especially during this period, every two years after the Weishui Alliance, the money of the entire Tang Dynasty has been 'distributed' to the Turks.
At this time, even the royal family has to tighten their stomachs.
In the event of a natural disaster...... It can only be bitter to the people.
Death, the people suffer.
Although the royal family can't help the people, Ningbei is different.
He has already seen the direction of the Tang Dynasty and knows how to save the displaced people!
The first thing that must be eaten is locusts.
Leave aside the must-have.
Then as long as the displaced people are fed, there will be no famine!
Although the royal family had no food, there were many wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty!
For example, the big families that even the emperor dared to refuse!
The food they store is too lazy to get moldy!
Some other wealthy businessmen must also have a lot of food in stock!
The grain is definitely going to be sold, but they are waiting for a suitable time to sell the grain at a high price!
Although there are already many displaced people, those people know that the famine has only just begun.
Some people have money in their hands, but they don't know how to buy food to eat.
They tend to beg for food with the homeless so that they can save money and do other things.
If there is food that can be prostituted for nothing, who will choose to spend money on their own?
However, this will disappear over time.
Because in the end, they can't stand the hunger and will obediently take out the money to buy food.
But when that time comes, they will find that the money in their hands has suddenly depreciated!
The money that could have bought a few hundred catties of food can now only buy dozens of catties or even a few catties......
At that time, the wealthy homeless will become the moneyless homeless until they have no money, beg for food, and finally starve to death......
And those rich merchants and aristocrats who hoard strange things will accumulate a lot of wealth!
Why are they so rich?
That's how the money comes in!
And if Ningbei wants to get their food, then he must reach a cooperative relationship with them, or he has a lot of money!
As the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic.
But it's bound to be a long process......
Although he has reached a cooperation with Li Dabai, in the final analysis, he is still too weak now.
He doesn't even have the qualifications to join the capital, let alone play against the capital.
Just when Ning Bei was thinking about how to accumulate wealth quickly, he saw a sudden chaos in the distance.
"Li Yuanwai has started to distribute porridge, everyone hurry up and get the porridge!"
"There isn't much porridge, and if it's late, it's gone!"
"Porridge! Where is porridge! ”
“……”
When they heard that there was something to eat, the homeless people who had been sitting on the ground stirred, and they got up and walked towards the city.
In order to prevent the horses from being frightened and trampling on the homeless people, Ningbei hurriedly made way for them.
The vegetation on both sides of the road was almost eaten by the displaced people, and Ningbei simply rode from the side of the road to the city.
He heard it very clearly just now, the well-wisher who shared the porridge was Li Yuanwai.
And in Nanshan County, it is estimated that the only person who can be called Li Yuanwai is his partner Li Dabai!
To be honest, Ning Bei didn't expect that Li Dabai, as a businessman, would be kind enough to share porridge among the homeless.
Aren't the rich businessmen in the TV series all very bad and bad?
It seems that the TV series is still too one-sided.
Walking to the city gate, Ning Bei dismounted.
It's not that you can't ride horses in the county, it's that there is no road in front of you.
The road out of the city has been blocked by the homeless.
At a glance, there must be at least a few thousand homeless people!
Don't think that there are very few thousands of displaced people!
You must know that this Nanshan County is only a small and remote county, and the long-term population of the entire county is only two or three hundred thousand.
On average, one in twenty or thirty people is a homeless!
It's scary to think about!
What's more, there are many homeless people who have starved to death!
If you add them, the number of displaced people in Nanshan County alone has reached a terrifying more than 10,000 people!
Ningbei is 1.85 meters tall and stands out from the crowd.
From a distance, the first thing that catches your eye is a dozen barrels of wooden barrels that are one person high.
It seems that the inside of the barrel should be the porridge that is distributed to everyone.
Although a dozen buckets of porridge are a lot, they will definitely not be able to relieve the thousands of people in front of them!
A bucket of porridge can be divided into 200 people, and a dozen buckets of porridge can be divided into two or three thousand people!
And the number of displaced people is far more than two or three thousand!
And even if Li Dabai is a good person to the end and cooks porridge twice, it will only let the displaced people report for today's meal.
What about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?
This bucket of porridge has to use twenty or thirty catties of rice to avoid the clear soup and lack of water.
A bucket of twenty or thirty catties, and a dozen barrels are three hundred catties!
The homeless people eat like that every day, can the rich man stand it?
For a while, Ning Bei's face became more and more gloomy.
The idea of preaching that locusts can be eaten has also become more and more active.
I can't care so much, let everyone live first!
Just when Ning Bei was thinking about how to start this, the sharp-eyed Mrs. Li first discovered Ning Bei.
Stretched out her hand and patted Li Dabai, who was sweating like rain beside her, because there were too many homeless people and were worried about how to live in the future, Mrs. Li said loudly:
"Is that handsome guy in the distance Uncle Ningbei?"
"Brother Ningbei! Where, where, where! ”
Li Dabai instantly came to his senses and looked in the direction pointed by Mrs. Li.
I saw Ningbei, who was surrounded by a whole head, tidying up in the distance, and I didn't know what I was thinking!
"Brother Ningbei, Brother Ningbei!"
Shouting loudly, Li Dabai rushed to the crowd.
Because the homeless people knew that Li Dabai provided them with white porridge for free, even though the water around them was already impassable, everyone still forced Li Dabai to make a way.
Walking straight to Ning Bei's side, Li Dabai looked extremely excited.
"Brother Ningbei, you're here! How's that thing going? ”
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Ning Bei whispered, and then patted the package behind him.
Li Dabai was just about to laugh, but suddenly thought that there were many people here, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he pulled Ning Bei to the porridge shack where the porridge was distributed.
As for the horse, someone will take care of it.
