Chapter 392: The People's Heart Is Like a Scale

But scolding and scolding, he didn't dare to be really listened to, so he could only nest in a group of mountain bandits from Jinji Mountain, and secretly enjoy himself.

Although there was a small accident in Ba County and the trip was delayed for a few days, Zhao Ying was not without gains.

In addition to capturing nearly one million of goods from Peng Yue, the rest of the mountain bandits also had a small harvest, adding up to more than 100,000 yuan.

Zhao Ying immediately decided to take out some of the money and open another charity hall in Ba County.

Following the example of Changsha and Nanjun and other places, on the basis of the county and county schools, we will join hands with Daqin storytellers from all over the country to continue to promote free education.

As for the textbook, for the time being, the simple textbook compiled by Fan Zeng, Xiuyu Catfish and others is not thick, and it is a very thin booklet. Although the above is only the most basic arithmetic and the most common words, and there are even some articles that make many wealthy families in Bajun frown, but that is also a knowledge that cannot be sought!

Not only that, students from poor families can also receive a bowl of thick rice porridge with a piece of pickled vegetables for free at noon.

These things will definitely not be enough, but they can fill your stomach and not go hungry. For the children of rich families, they are naturally disdainful, but for those poor people who can't eat it, this bowl of sticky rice porridge is really attractive!

What's more, it is still a cold winter and a season of green and yellow. Many people have already bottomed out the rice tank, and this part of the food is particularly important.

As for the school building -

So poor that I can't even afford to eat, what school building do I need?

Having a book to read and a bowl of porridge to eat is a gift that you can't even imagine!

Just ask Qianchu for hundreds of years, how could there have been such a kind of benevolent government that benefited the people?

In any village, find a place with a leeward and sunny face, pull a blackboard at random, get a few boxes of chalk, it is a place to teach students to read, as for students, take a branch and level a piece of land under their feet, that is pen and ink.

It's simple, it's really simple to the extreme.

But yes, it's better than nothing.

It's all bitter haha, who is going to demand those?

But even so, Bajun County Shou Xunda and County Chengli are also worried.

"Your Highness, benevolence and love for the people is the luck of the world, but if this charity hall continues, the daily consumption of money and food is not a small amount, and we will ...... money and food in the future."

After speaking, Xunda couldn't help but look at Zhao Ying with a wry smile.

The Charity Hall is the good governance of Ba County paid by the emperor's eldest grandson, but the question is that after the emperor's eldest grandson is gone, who will be responsible for the rest of the money and food? Whether the imperial court will allocate this amount of money, if so, how much can it be allocated?

Once this charity hall cannot be maintained in his own hands......

That's really a good guy who is all His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, and the wicked are all his own county guards.

When Zhao Ying heard this, he understood what the two of them meant, and couldn't help laughing.

"You don't have to worry about this, this charity hall, we have formed our own model, I will leave a little industry here, run a few handicraft workshops, and the money earned, in addition to maintaining the basic operation of the workshop and expanding production, the rest of the money will be invested in the charity hall to maintain these operations of the charity hall......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's tone paused slightly, glanced at Xunda seemingly casually, and added with a smile.

"Later, I will ask someone from the house to come over to deal with this matter, and I hope that the county guard can make it convenient......"

As soon as he heard that there would be money and food to do this in the future, Xunda couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, where would he think about the question of who is responsible for this charity hall and workshop.

"That's great!"

Speaking of which, Xunda almost patted his chest and assured.

"Your Highness, just rest assured, in the future, this charity hall and His Highness's business, the lower officials will definitely take good care of it, if there is any problem, just let the people in your house come to me......"

Zhao Ying smiled and arched his hand.

"Then thank you for looking for the county guard......"

The county official is not as good as the current management, even if he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, if these local officials in Ba County do not cooperate, his charity hall, which has high hopes, will be struggling and very passive.

Although he only passed through Ba County, this time, Zhao Ying was not busy leaving, but stayed outside Ba County for a few more days.

During this period, he personally summoned the county magistrates, Mr. Xue, and the storytellers here in Ba County to implement the charity hall and the free promotion of education and Henan opera.

I personally went to the nearby county to investigate and visit, and determined the subordinate workshops of the Charity Hall here, as well as the layout of related businesses.

Bajun is rich in products, not only producing ginger, gardenia and other special products, but also cinnabar, copper, iron, dan, lacquer reserves are also quite abundant, but Zhao Ying finally set his sights on silk, tung oil, and ordinary bamboo and wood utensils.

Now that the Western Regions have been opened, Mobei has also become the three counties of Mobei, the demand for silk, porcelain and tea has surged, and the choice of silk can ensure the sufficient benefits of this charity hall.

As for tung oil, in this era, it is almost an irreplaceable strategic resource. For this business, Zhao Ying is not even ready to make money, but is ready to use it as a strategic reserve.

As for why you should choose bamboo and wood woven utensils, in addition to the fact that bamboo and wood can be seen everywhere in Ba County, rich in resources and cheap, it is mainly because it is a labor-intensive industry, and the production method is very flexible, you can concentrate on production in the workshop, or you can take it home and process it yourself.

It doesn't matter if you make money or not, the important thing is that you can help the poor!

Throughout the ages, the means of buying people's hearts are actually very simple, that is, to let the people see the real benefits.

When the people of Chu found out that they could live a good life with the Qin people, let their daughter-in-law wear beautiful clothes, and let their children eat well, even if you used a knife to force him to rebel, it might not be of any use.

This is also one of Zhao Ying's most primitive motivations.

Zhao Ying took Zhang Liang and did all this personally, and then led the army to leave Ba County and go to Lujiang County.

Bajun County Shou Xunda, brought the county officials, and personally sent them out of the city ten miles, only then did he stop at the long pavilion on the side of the road and say goodbye to Zhao Ying.

"Your Highness, cherish all the way!"

Zhao Ying smiled and took the wine glass in Xunda's hand, took it up and drank it all, then looked around at Xunda and the county officials, and arched his hand.

"Stay here, don't ...... here"

Then he turned around and got on his horse, ready to go. However, at this moment, his ears suddenly moved slightly, and he turned his head in some surprise to look in the direction from which he came.

At this time, the officials on the Ba County side also discovered Zhao Ying's abnormality, and looked at him with some curiosity, but saw several figures, supporting each other, along the road where they came, hurriedly running towards this side.

As he ran, he waved his arms in this direction.

couldn't help but subconsciously change their faces slightly, and many people had even touched the long sword on their waists, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, and jumped off the horse again.

"You don't need to be nervous, the people who are here are just a few old friends who have old friends with me......"

After speaking, he actually walked straight and greeted the person who came.

Seeing Zhao Ying's move, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

I thought that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun had met some great people in Ba County, so he hurriedly followed one by one. The other party came quickly, and soon he could see the other party's figure clearly.

It was only at this time that they found out that there were a total of seven people on the other side, three of them, with white hair and crutches, were already sixty or seventy years old, and the remaining four were a few men wearing coarse cloth jackets and honest faces.

Where is there anything that looks like a superior person?

The eyes of Xunda and the others couldn't help but fall on the hands of these comers. Except for the three old men on crutches, the other four farmers were still holding things in their hands, some carrying a basket covered with linen, and some simply carrying an old hen.

A bold thought suddenly rose in their hearts.

This is a special rush to see off His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun?

At this moment, Zhao Ying had already greeted him with a smile on his face, and he apologized from afar.

"Ying's departure was in a hurry, I didn't have time to say goodbye to you, I didn't expect you to be tired of coming to see me off in person, I'm really ashamed, ashamed-"

The few people who came were none other than him, it was the villagers and farmers he knew when he was guiding the local people in the field to make manure and farming, but they didn't expect that they would get the news today and rushed so far to send them off.

"Don't dare to be a gift to His Highness—"

Several old men and men, seeing this, hurriedly returned the salute, and one by one they looked frightened and did not dare to say anything. In the end, it was still the oldest villager who came up on crutches and bowed towards Zhao Ying.

"The villain, etc., has received the favor of His Highness, and there is nothing to repay, so I have come to see off His Highness......"

Zhao Ying stepped forward and grabbed the old man's arm.

"Old man, why be polite, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, I will patrol the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of Your Majesty, and hand it over to you to plant and make fertilizer, which is also a matter of duty, what is the saying that favor is not favor-if you really want to thank me, cooperate with the county officials, and promote these techniques as soon as possible, so that all the villagers in Ba County can learn this skill as soon as possible......"

The old man and the few people behind him, hearing this, bowed down with sincere expressions one by one.

"The villain will not dare to live up to His Highness's trust!"

After speaking, he hurriedly wanted to stuff the things he was holding into Zhao Ying's hands.

"Your Highness, we know that you are a noble man and will not lack these worthless little things, but we can't repay Your Highness's kindness, these are just our insignificant thoughts......"

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Ying in front of him with a worried face.

At this time, Zhao Ying was different from the eldest grandson of the emperor who was wearing coarse cloth clothes and holding trouser legs, regardless of the soil and even the manure of livestock, who personally worked in the fields and instructed them to manure and cultivate the land a few days ago.

A luxurious robe, wrapped in a wide band embroidered with gold-edged moire, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a jade pendant with a round color hanging on the other side, standing there, with an indescribable dignity.

This kind of transformation makes them feel that their hands holding gifts are a little unable to stretch out. Seeing that they were cramped and uneasy in front of him, with a worried look, Zhao Ying smiled gently and arched his hand.

"Thank you, the goose feather gift is very important, a few elders can come to Ying, it is already affectionate, and Yingyouan dares to despise ......"

As he spoke, he unceremoniously stretched out his hands and took the things they were carrying, and then turned around and handed them to Zhang Liang beside him.

Zhang liang:......

There was a basket of eggs here, and two fluttering old hens there, and the smell of came to my nose, and my whole face was almost green.

Fortunately, there was no need for anyone to greet the spirits in the back, so Wang Laosi walked a few steps quickly, followed, nodded and helped Zhang Liang take the things.

Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and deliberately nodded at him.

This made Wang Laosi's body suddenly lighter by two pounds.

Looking at the shameless dog-legged pie of this goods, Peng Yue couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, and then turned his head away from looking at him.

This dog thing, it's too embarrassing for the people of Jinji Mountain!

However, there are also many people who regret that if they were so shameless just now, wouldn't they be able to get such an opportunity to show favor to Zhang Fucheng?

That's Zhang Fucheng!

His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is the most relied on confidant......

Zhao Ying naturally didn't know that the careful thinking of these people behind him, he pulled a few village elders, gently encouraged and advised, and told Xunda and others to send these people back when they went back, and then got up and said goodbye.

It wasn't until Zhao Ying's team, several villagers and men who came to see Zhao Ying off, that they reluctantly withdrew their gaze.

As Chu people, they originally didn't have a good impression of the Qin people.

But such an emperor's eldest grandson made them really have nothing to say. History is like a sieve, the people's hearts are like scales, although they have no culture, they have no knowledge, but they know who is really good for themselves, who is really doing things for themselves and the people at the bottom.

Although they thanked them again and again, the county officials who had been personally explained by the emperor's eldest grandson still drove the carriage and sent a few people back to their villages.

When several people got out of the carriage and helped each other down, and wanted to say goodbye and leave, the little official who came to see them off stopped them with a loud voice.

"What do you ......command?"

Several village elders and peasant households looked back at the county officials who came to see them off with some apprehension.

But he smiled at them very kindly, then turned around, stretched out his hand, and took out a rather delicate package from the frame on the side.

"It's good luck that you're getting the attention of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson......"

The little official who came to give it off sighed, and then handed over the package and delivered it to the eldest village elder. Seeing that the old man was looking at the package in his hand a little bewildered, the county official explained with a smile.

"Your Highness accepted your gift, this is a return gift specially prepared for you by His Highness just now, and I ask a few people not to refuse......"

Several rural men, holding Zhao Ying's return gift, suddenly burst into tears. turned around and fell to the ground in the direction Zhao Ying left, reluctant to get up for a long time.
