Chapter 283: Confluence
"The two of them didn't know that after the mountain bandits on the Black Mountain Cliff were arrested by the imperial court. The people on this mountain have no place to stay, and some of them have gone home. The rest are homeless and have to beg in the streets."
Ye Shu'er finally figured out what was going on.
Xue Zhi'an ordered a table of good dishes, and the two had not rested for several days. I finally arrived in Anyuan County, and at first I was worried that the matter of suppressing bandits was not over, after all, there were many mountain bandits in Anyuan County.
"Zhi'an, did you say that those who were rescued from the mountain have lost their ability to work?"
The women had been locked up for so long that they had lost contact with the outside world. If you want them to learn the art of eating now, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. Just by looking at the people begging on the streets, you know that they have lost their desire to live.
Xue Zhi'an looked at the homeless people outside the window and knelt on the ground. Some women even have a few months-old child in their hands, and no matter how hard he was when he was a child, he finally had something to eat, and these people ......
If he becomes an official in the future, he must be a good official with responsibility and responsibility.
"If you are not desperate, who wants to sell your dignity and beg?"
These women were people who had lost their virginity, and even when they returned home, they would be rejected by their families and even kicked out of their homes.
After washing, Ye Shuer planned to take a look around this Anyuan County.
She has a lot of silver in her hand, but it is a pity that her workshop is not open here, otherwise she can resettle some of these homeless people.
I thought that the imperial court would distribute relief food, but who knew that half a month had passed, and there was no news at all. Presumably, this poor and remote place, the people above don't value it. It's not the main point, it's basically a laissez-faire.
"Shu'er, what are you thinking?" Xue Zhi'an saw that her expression was solemn, and he didn't speak all the way.
Ye Shu'er smiled, "I'm thinking about how to help these people, this place is a certain distance from the town, even if I am willing to bring these people back, presumably some people are not willing to go, just walking to our town will take a lot of time."
"Shu'er, are you planning to bring these people back?"
Ye Shu'er nodded.
She had plans to expand, but she didn't have that much capital before. Now the money is enough to build a factory, as long as the rouge gouache factory is built, and then these people are settled, it must not be long, the output of rouge gouache is enough to be transported to the city for sale.
The main reason is that these people don't have land, if they want land, they can also open up wasteland in Peach Blossom Village, as long as they talk to the village chief. If there are people who are willing to plant herbs, they can also arrange to help plant herbs, and now that there is a business in Fucheng, the price has more than tripled, and it is still very profitable.
Xue Zhi'an put his hands behind his back, like a little old man, "Shu'er, you must think carefully about this decision. These people all came down from the Black Mountain Cliff, and some of them were not of good character. There are also some people who are lazy and lazy, and if you take them, you don't necessarily mean that they will be grateful to Dade."
Yip Shu-yi understands that of course she knows the story of "The Farmer and the Snake".
"Zhi'an, I'm not trying to bring everyone back unconditionally. I just told them that if anyone is willing to do something, the people who open up the wasteland and farm can go to Peach Blossom Village to find me, do you think this is okay?"
It's just that the village chief and the villagers still have to explain it well.
If the people in the village are disgusted with these people on the cliffs of Black Mountain and have a rebellious mentality, it will be more than worth the loss.
It's just that it takes a lot of time to spread the word like this, and the best way is to give porridge in a place where there are many displaced people. In this way, word of mouth spreads, and many people must soon be able to know the news.
Just do it.
Ye Shuer found a rice shop, bought 100 catties of rice, and began to give porridge.
I also borrowed a large pot from the owner of the inn, and the boss learned that he was going to give alms. Without saying a word, he lent her the big iron pot, and then said that if there was a shortage of manpower, he could help find helpers.
Twenty yuan a pound of rice, for Ye Shuer, this amount of money is nothing. But for these homeless people, twenty cents is too hard to get.
Anyuan County is not as prosperous as Fucheng
, casually being a porter has 200 yuan a day, and it's good to be able to eat here.
The boss of the rice shop specially asked someone to help move 100 catties of rice to the soup kitchen, Xue Zhi'an was responsible for lighting the fire, and Ye Shuer was responsible for cooking the porridge. The owner of the inn specially found a helper to help, and the name was Stone.
Stone is quick and responsible for maintaining order.
"Everyone line up, Miss Ye is spreading kindness today and giving porridge here. Everyone has a share, don't squeeze, don't grab! Wait a moment, and please pay attention to order."
The rice had been boiling in the pot for a while, and Ye Shu'er kept stirring it with a wooden spoon, for fear that the rice paste underneath would be gone. Fortunately, this cauldron is large enough to hold dozens of servings of porridge.
"Is this true? Anyone can come and drink porridge?" A woman holds the child in her hand and can't believe it's real....
"It's true, haven't you heard? This Ye girl said that as long as you are a homeless person, you can come and get porridge."
"Great, I haven't eaten in two days. It doesn't matter if I don't eat, but it's a pity that the child suffers, and the child is so hungry that he doesn't even have the strength to cry."
At first, there were only a dozen people, but then dozens of them came directly. Ye Shu'er's arm hurt and couldn't stand it, so Xue Zhi, who was replaced later, went into battle.
The stone is specially designed to see if there is a duplicate collection, and once found, immediately persuade to leave.
"Listen to me, everybody, I am here today to give porridge. I want to take the opportunity to tell you the good news, if you are homeless, you can go to Taohua Village in Wu Town to open up wasteland, and I will live there, if you can trust me, you can go there to find me."
She looked at these homeless people, and suddenly felt that her strength was too small.
"Wasteland? You don't want to coax us and put us in prison to work!"
These words caused a commotion in the crowd, and many people began to discuss:
"Do you think it's to make us clear the wasteland, so you deliberately designed to trick us over? Didn't the people of the Black Mountain Cottage coax us over like this, and then we never came back after we went up the mountain!"
"Do you think we can still drink the porridge we have?"
"Everyone beware, it seems that they have ulterior motives, everyone must be vigilant!"
Ye Shu'er didn't expect that these people's vigilance would become so strong, presumably after being deceived by someone, they were bitten by snakes for ten years and were afraid of the well rope.
"We're going to report to the police and expose you for what you really are. The imperial court has not ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, how can anyone be so kind and care about us beggars? Surely Ann is not kind!" The man shouted loudly, calling on these people not to be fooled.
