Chapter 173: Method

"But many of the disabled soldiers had no way to earn a living. Some people lose a leg and can't even work in the field. Gu Shangqing said, "You can't recruit people into the army to live and die for Daxi." Now, in order to keep Daxi's side peaceful, he is injured and disabled, and even loses the ability to make a living, so he drives people home and fends for himself, right? ”

"There are people who have parents, and there are wives and children. There are also people who are young, only in their teens and twenties, and they still have a long life ahead of them. Gu Shangqing sighed, "We can't let them suffer so much in their long lives." ”

"So we thought about how we were going to take care of the wounded soldiers." Gu Shangqing frowned.

"Are there any criteria? For example, to what extent do wounded soldiers need to be placed in the army? Li Mumu asked.

The water in the bowl of the three people was not so hot, so they drank it all by the way.

Li Mumu took the bowl in the hands of the three of them and handed it to Gu Mian for her to take back to the kitchen.

Zhu Yaoming said: "The main reason is that there is no way to make a living or it is difficult to make a living. For example, like Zhang Erzhu, he lost a leg, but not everyone can find a craftsman to work like him. Some people may not find such an opportunity in their lifetime. ”

"Just to walk, you need one hand to support your crutches. The only thing that can be used for work is one leg and one hand. What can be done? Pick up a hoe on the ground? I'm afraid it's not so convenient. Restaurant run? Slow movements, shaky walking, and restaurants won't want him. Or set up your own stall? But he also needs someone to help, and he can't do it himself. ”

"If so...... What can you do if you lose both legs, or both hands? Zhu Yaoming said. Injuries that don't affect making a living, we really can't help that much. The soldiers who need help alone, with our current capabilities, can't find a good solution. ”

Indeed, as the husband said, it is difficult to guarantee their spending for a lifetime just by giving silver. In the army, it is for them to be resettled, and it is most suitable for them to be able to arrange a job to earn a living. Li Mumu said, "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." ”

"We've tried to make arrangements as much as we can." Zhu Yaoming said, "Most of the people who are now in charge of food in the army are disabled soldiers who have retired. However, after all, the number of people needed for such work in the army is limited, and most of the wounded soldiers cannot be arranged. ”

"Are all the wounded soldiers home now? Or where? Li Mumu asked.

"Those who have returned home before, and who have just been injured recently, are still being raised. But now there are more and more wounded soldiers, and the people who used to go home are not doing very well, so we have to find a way to not continue like this. Gu Shangqing said, "Even if the injury is healed, let them temporarily open up a separate place in the barracks for them to live in first." ”

"How many are there now?" Li Mumu asked.

"There are now 365 people in the army, and those who have left before are also registered, but you need to go back and see how many people there are." Huang Kexiao said.

"Brother and sister said this, what did you think of?" Zhu Yaoming looked at Li Mumu.

"It's not a mature solution, I'll talk about my idea first, and whether it's feasible or not, you have to go back and discuss." Li Mu said.

"Brother and sister, please speak." Zhu Yaoming hurriedly said.

"Let's eat first, talk as we eat." Gu's mother reminded.

"Okay." Li Mumu nodded.

Gu Mian and the cook put dinner on the table.

"Brother and sister, what do you think of?" Zhu Yaoming asked anxiously.

Li Mumu said: "You need to go back and look at the registration booklet, where have these wounded soldiers returned." It is necessary to contact and discuss with the local yamen. Let these wounded soldiers go to the yamen to register, in order to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters, it is naturally necessary to compare it with the list you have registered. ”

"After counting all the personnel, you can come up with a policy. For example, those shops, no matter what they do, as long as they need to employ people, as long as they can accept the wounded soldiers who have been discharged from the army to work for them, they can be appropriately reduced to a certain extent. ”

"For example, if a shop recruits wounded soldiers, the yamen can subsidize part of the wages for the wounded soldiers, so that the shops can pay less wages, but the wages received by the wounded soldiers are a lot because of the subsidy from the yamen. Of course, this part of the money should still be allocated by the army or the generals to the imperial court. ”

"Or, these shops that recruit wounded soldiers can have a certain degree of tax reduction for them." Li Mumu said, "In this way, there will always be some places willing to work with wounded soldiers." ”

"That's a really good idea!" Zhu Yaoming said, "We can really study and study with General Shang when we go back." ”

"Brother and sister, you are really a man of God!" Huang Kexiao praised.

Li Mumu shook his head and smiled, "It's just that I don't have an immature idea at all." ”

"Don't be modest." Zhu Yaoming said, "In this way, not only the wounded soldiers who have just retreated, but also the wounded soldiers who have been in the past, can be taken into account." ”

In addition, soldiers who return to their hometowns in old age can be recorded in the army with their household names, and where they return, and registered with the local yamen. Give them some preferential care. Li Mu said.

"I'll go find General Shang now!" Huang Kexiao was an impatient, and when he heard Li Mumu's good idea, he got up and was about to discuss with General Shang.

"Hey, what's the hurry?" Zhu Yaoming pulled Huang Kexiao back and sat down, "General Shang is also resting, this matter is to be found now, and it won't be done for a while." ”

"The day after tomorrow, let's go back to the army and talk to General Shang again." Zhu Yaoming said.

Gu Shangqing also said: "And General Li is also very concerned about this matter. It is necessary not only to consult with General Shang, but also with General Li. If General Li also thinks it is good, and he can handle it, things will be much smoother. ”

Huang Kexiao sat down again, "That's right." ”

Gu Shangqing saw that Li Mumu lowered his eyes and didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked, "Madam, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm wondering if there's anything we can do here that can help." Li Mumu said, "We have Gu's snacks at home, and I also took a break with Miss Li, Mrs. Shang and Mrs. Zuo. ”

"But isn't forgetting worries and taking a break not recruiting men to work?" Zhu Yaoming asked.

has known each other for a long time, and Li Mumu also knows that Zhu Yaoming is a big foodie.

Just heard that Chong'an City had opened a new family to forget about worries and take a break, but when he didn't entertain male guests, Zhu Yaoming patted his thigh and regretted it.

Fortunately, the food and snacks provided by the Forget Worry Break can also be eaten at the Gu family.
