Chapter Ninety-Four: Transformation
"How's it going?"
Mo Jun waited for a while, and only after the medicine ghost had finished dealing with the little girl's injuries did he step forward and ask.
The medicine ghost's face was not very good-looking, which was normal, because it was impossible for any doctor to be in a better mood when he saw the torture and injuries suffered by this group of children.
Seeing that it was Mo Jun, the medicine ghost exhaled a breath of gloom, but his eyes were still a little gloomy, and said: "This year, there are just three [muscle-growing bone grass] mature, so the trauma and bone injuries on these children can basically be guaranteed to be fine, but the parts that have been missing are ······"
Although the medicine ghost had not finished speaking, Mo Jun had already understood what the other party meant.
Both internal and external injuries.
With Mo Jun's [Life Crystal] and all kinds of elixirs cultivated by the medicine ghosts, they can all come up with ways to heal.
But some of these children were directly cut off their tongues and limbs, and in the face of such a situation, neither Mojun nor the medicine ghost could do anything.
"And the physical injuries are okay, some children have been tortured for too long, and their minds have collapsed. In the current situation, most of the children who can cry are no longer in big trouble, and the key is that those children who can't even cry are in big trouble. ”
As he spoke, the medicine ghost added.
Mo Jun nodded with a gloomy face, although he didn't know much about medical skills, he still knew some basic common sense, and those who knew how to cry at least showed that they still had emotions in their hearts.
But those children who can't cry have completely 'annihilated' even the most basic humanity.
This is not only a spiritual problem, but also a spiritual destruction.
Mo Jun also secretly fed a little [Adventurer's Soul] to these children to eat, but with little effect, only a small number of children's conditions were alleviated, and some serious ones were ineffective at all.
"Black Feather!"
Mo Jun suddenly shouted, and in the next second, with a few black feathers falling, the figure of the black feather appeared silently beside Mo Jun.
"My lord, what do you command?"
"Go tell the prison in the dungeon to add a meal to those 'nobles' today."
"Yes!"
Black Feather answered, and then the figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
After a little bad breath, Mo Jun spoke again: "Zhanqin, have the parents of these children found it?" ”
"Some of the children's parents have already come to claim it, but ······"
"But what?"
"But most of the people who came to claim were boys, and only one of the girls' parents has been found. When the parents of two other children arrived, they saw that their children's legs and feet had been cut off, and then they sneaked away. ”
When he said this, Zhanqin's tone was both helpless and angry.
Mo Jun was also silent after hearing this.
Patriarchy was an unsolvable problem in the era of the small-scale peasant economy, and giving birth to a boy was an extra labor force for the family, and giving birth to a girl was a burden.
The only role of a girl is to raise her, and if she says that it sounds good, she is marrying, and if she says it is not good, she is selling her daughter.
But in the current environment, even if it is 'selling daughters', only clean ones can be sold, and unclean girls are completely a burden to the family, and naturally not many people are willing to adopt people back.
Even boys, not only girls, but also boys are abandoned when they lose the value of their labor, just like the two parents who came and saw their children's legs and feet cut off and sneaked away.
"In that case, then send a sum of money to the families who are sure to give up their children, and then let them sign a deed of sale, and we will raise all the children."
"As for those children who have never been able to find their parents, if someone comes to adopt them in the future, let them pay the 'child support' first, and then take them away."
Mo Jun said lightly.
Mo Jun can understand the difficulties of these families at the moment, and he can also raise all these children with kindness, but this does not mean that he is willing to be a wronged leader.
The role of the 'deed of sale' is equivalent to 'deprivation of guardianship' in this era.
If Mo Jun didn't take precautions, in case he worked hard in the future and finally raised this group of children, as a result, his biological parents would immediately come over to 'pick peaches'.
That can make Mo Jun nauseous for several days without eating.
As for saying that now that the 'deed of sale' has been signed, there will still be people who want moral kidnapping and scoundrels in the future.
Scold!
Now is not the era when extortion is not illegal in 2,000 years.
Is it really an ornament for Mo Jun's current status of power to be placed there?
"Yes, I see!"
Zhanqin calmly wrote down this matter, he didn't think there was any problem with Mo Jun's way of dealing with it, to be precise, Mo Jun's behavior at the moment could be regarded as a great kindness.
After all, raising a few hundred worthless children, even if they count the Seven Kingdoms, few people are willing to do such a thing.
After visiting the children here.
Mo Jun then turned around and walked out, ready to go to the lobby to meet the 'purple-haired woman'.
But just when the two of them were exposed to the main door, Mo Jun suddenly heard a voice shouting grievances from outside the door.
"Wronged!"
"There is no heavenly reason, the county guard cares about people's lives and kills innocents indiscriminately."
"Can you do whatever you want as an official?"
······
Hearing the movement coming from outside the main gate, Mo Jun immediately frowned and asked, "What's going on?" Hasn't the disaster in Nanjun slowly subsided? ”
"My lord, this is not a disaster victim, it is a ghost made by those nobles."
Zhanqin explained in a low voice: "According to the previous orders of the adults, we have not officially announced the charges of the four major clans to destroy the door this time. ”
"Originally, I was going to take this opportunity to see if I could catch a few more fish hiding in the water. But now this group of nobles seems to have learned well, and so far no one has taken action in person, but they are only secretly stirring up public resentment, allowing some ignorant commoners to come forward to cry out for grievances. ”
Mo Jun thought for a moment, and it seemed that he had indeed given such an order before.
The main thing is that it is also convenient, anyway, now that things have become so big, I simply added more fire and burned down the hidden pest scourge in Nanjun.
After all, before starting this time, Mo Jun didn't expect that the four major clans would dare to 'privately make armor', and also 'privately trained 5,000 soldiers and horses', it would be a pity if such a good reason didn't come out with something.
As for the backlash that Mo Jun may suffer in the future, the left and right have already reached this point, and he is now too lice to bite.
"Haven't you dealt with these civilians?"
"We have also appeased and advised, but those nobles have been rooted in Nanjun for many years, and their influence in this regard is stronger than that of the county guard, and our persuasion basically has not had much effect."
Zhanqin hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My lord, why don't I just send someone to arrest a group and lock them up and make an example of the chickens and monkeys?" ”
Mo Jun rolled his eyes and said, "If you do this, then you will really be in the middle of the plan." These civilians were only fooled, and they didn't commit any mistakes themselves, and if you were caught, you would really take the initiative to hand over the handle to that group of people. ”
People have a herd mentality, especially after the number of people gathered reaches a certain level, the truth is not important.
Sometimes many officials in ancient times would call the people 'foolish people', which is not unreasonable.
So the best way to calm the emotions of the people is never to give the truth, but to divert the people's attention.
I thought about it for a while.
Mo Jun said: "How is the disaster relief done now?" ”
Hearing this, Zhanqin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Disaster relief, isn't it just soup kitchen?" ”
Mo Jun shook his head: "Another way, work for relief, let the victims themselves use their labor in exchange for food, and at the same time, let some civilians participate, find something for them to do, and divert the attention of those people." ”
"This ······ Will it affect badly? What if those stir up resentment? After all, they have just suffered a catastrophe, so should they let the victims recuperate for a while? ”
Zhanqin was a little worried, after all, this group of victims had just suffered a great disaster, and it was a little too ruthless to force them to work so soon.
"It's because they have just suffered a catastrophe that they should be kept busy, and only after they are busy, these people don't have the heart to think nonsense."
Mo Jun's view is just the opposite of Zhanqin, Zhanqin lives in this era and pays more attention to the basic survival of people, that is, to eat and dress warmly.
But Mo Jun from later generations knew very well that in the face of catastrophes, the stability of the mind is often more important than food.
As he spoke, Mo Jun continued: "As for stirring up public resentment, when the time comes, you can send a team of black-armored soldiers to sit in the town, and you should use it in troubled times." Moreover, the victims generally don't have much energy to make trouble, and the people who dare to make trouble at this time are also the ghosts of those nobles, so they don't have to be polite when the time comes. ”
"You have to remember that disaster relief is disaster relief, and good deeds are good deeds, these are two different things."
After coming to this world for a few years, Mo Jun's behavior mode and outlook on life are also changing imperceptibly, and the knowledge reserves of later generations are far richer than those of this era, after all, the current limited hardware facilities and the limited scope of information dissemination.
Moreover, there is still a lot of knowledge monopolized by the aristocratic class, and ordinary people do not even have the qualifications to contact it, so naturally it cannot be compared with the Internet era in later generations.
But theory is theory, action is action, there are many truths that Mo Jun has not paid attention to in the past, and it was not until he came to this world that he slowly began to figure it out.
Zhanqin nodded thoughtfully, and then bowed to Mo Jun and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, Zhanqin understands." ”
"But my lord, if it's a cash-for-work job, what should these victims do?"
Cash-for-work was not created by later generations, in fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Yan Ying, a doctor of Qi State, had already used a similar method.
There was a record in "Yanzi Spring and Autumn": "Qi hunger Yanzi was used to help the people because of the battle of Lu Sleep." ”
During the reign of Qi Jinggong, there was a famine in the world, and the doctor Yan Ying advised Lun Su to provide relief. But Jing Gong did not agree, because at that time, Jing Cheng planned to build a "road bed".
So Yan Ying took the initiative to take on this task, and then hired the victims at a high salary, postponed the completion date, and carried out disaster relief in the name of building a platform with his hands.
In the end, he managed to survive the famine.
So under the sun, there are not so many new things.
However, 'cash-for-work' is not something that can be solved by touching the skin up and down, and if you want to use this method to provide disaster relief, you must first meet two basic conditions.
First, there should be enough food for disaster relief.
The second is to have jobs that allow so many people to start work at the same time.
Compared to the first one.
In fact, the second one is not easy to meet at the moment.
Why is it that when most people think of the era of small-scale peasant economy, the first thing that comes to mind is 'male ploughing and female weaving', because at present, except for farming and weaving, there are really not so many jobs outside that people can choose.
Mo Jun thought for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said, "In this way, you first lead these victims to dig up a few lakes that can be used to store water in the places that were most vulnerable to flooding in the past. ”
"Then find a few workers who are proficient in construction, investigate the terrain of Nanjun, and pile up a few ridges around the grain fields that are usually prone to flooding."
After listening to Mo Jun's words, Zhanqin's brush that was recording paused slightly, and he looked at Mo Jun in surprise and said, "Do you want to completely solve the flood disaster in Nanjun?" ”
"But in this way, the amount of work is a bit too large, even if tens of thousands of victims are working together, I am afraid it will take several years."
"I'm afraid our food won't last that long!"
Mo Jun left 200,000 stone of grain before, which seems to be a lot, but if it can supply tens of thousands of disaster victims at the same time, it can last for a year, it is already considered to be the top of the sky.
Facing Zhanqin's questioning, Mo Jun waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, you just need to find someone to do it first, remember a few key interceptions for flood prevention, which should be piled up with stones, and I will find a way to reinforce them later." ”
