Chapter 444: Where Morality Lies
After Elder Wu finished briefing on the situation, he sat down.
"The plan of the year lies in the spring. Shen Yun said with certainty, "Spring ploughing will never be delayed. ”
"Yes, if there is no spring ploughing, where will the summer harvest come from?" everyone thinks.
Some people also asked: "There are more and more homeless people outside, and there are not enough people here in the porridge shed, what should I do?"
"Let's only save the victims who have no food, and drive the rest away. Someone immediately clenched his fist and replied, "We didn't have to make rice and people, we were so tired that we were half dead, and they were laughed at behind their backs." “
"Yes, get those people back. ”
"Yes. These lazy insects, in order to eat white food, even put down spring ploughing. He deserves to starve to death. ”
"In that case, there will be half the number of people. ”
The proposal was well received by the majority of the people in the room.
Hearing this, Elder Wu stood up again, looked around the audience, and asked a question: "The people outside are all the same, dressed in tatters, and have vegetables on their faces. How can you tell them apart?"
As soon as the words came out, the venue was suddenly silent. Even the squad leader who had just made the suggestion pursed his mouth.
Shen Yun felt that the time was almost up, so he cleared his throat and said, "What Elder Wu said is right. It's not richer than the fairy capital. Last year, there was another major insect plague, and the autumn grain was not harvested. Even the wealthy families can only eat bran and half full. They dragged their families over to beg for a bowl of porridge to eat, just to save a little rations, so that the weather would be warmer and the cold at night would not freeze to death. In this way, they can go out with their families and flee the famine. Also, spring ploughing has arrived, but almost no one ploughs in ten miles and eight townships, not because they are lazy. Botang found out that they had no food. The disaster has long been reported to the county's immortal mansion. However, he was pressed down by the big man. Instead of providing relief, they tried their best to block the news. According to the reliable information found by Botang, the immortal mansions are now in full swing preparing to set up checkpoints on the official road to stop the victims who are about to go out to escape the famine. “
"These black-hearted animals!" everyone couldn't help but scold.
Elder Wu wrinkled his eyebrows: "Lord, if this is the case, I am afraid that the number of victims who rushed to hear the news will increase at a faster rate." We'll be able to hold on for less time. ”
The anxious eyes were fixed on Shen Yun's body.
Shen Yun was very pleased. Because after knowing the inside story, no one said anything about driving the victims away. Obviously, everyone wants to do everything they can to help the victims.
He smiled, wrenched his fingers and said, "I think that after listening to Elder Wu's briefing just now, you already know that we are now facing three major problems in disaster relief. First and foremost is manpower. This is followed by firewood. The third issue is food. As long as these three major problems are solved, the other problems will not be a problem. People say, isn't that the reason?"
"Yes. Everyone nodded.
The anxiety on Elder Wu's face dissipated. He knew that the lord was going to talk about the solution next.
Sure enough, Shen Yun nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then said, "First of all, let's look at the problem of lack of manpower. Personally, I don't think this problem exists at all. ”
Elder Wu was the first to petrify. Cooking porridge for thousands of people a day is definitely a big project. Carrying rice, washing rice, cooking porridge, dividing porridge, brushing pots and washing dishes, and maintaining childish order...... Which link does not need manpower?
The others are also confused - obviously we are as busy as a spinning top from morning to night, and we are getting busier and busier, and we are really short of manpower. Why is it that when you get to the adults, there is no such problem?
"Ah, I understand what the lord meant!" At this time, one of the elders of the headquarters, Li Fang, suddenly slapped his thigh.
The year before last, when there was turmoil in Xiandu City, he led a battalion of private soldiers to be responsible for the supply of meals. After a few busy days, he has a lot of experience. Now after Shen Yun pulled it out a little, he immediately understood.
Shen Yun stretched out his hand to him and made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "It seems that our Elder Li has a clever plan. Let's start by asking Elder Li to tell us about it. ”
So, all the eyes shifted to Master Li.
"I came up with a plan somewhere. It was the lord's words that pulled me out. Elder Li grinned and clenched his fists, "I think it makes sense for the lord to say that there is no shortage of manpower." Because now our Zhuangzi is full of people. Apart from the old, the weak, the sick, the sick, and the women, there were many grown men among them. They are just hungry, eat a full meal, keep it up the mountain to catch rabbits, cook porridge or something, it's not a problem at all. ”
"Won't it make a mess if you ask them to cook porridge?" someone questioned.
Elder Li rolled up one sleeve, revealing his sturdy right forearm and fist as big as a small wine jar. With a little force, the meridians are bulging, and the true qi is surging. He chuckled: "To be honest, I was scared before. Now, though, I'm not afraid. ”
All of you present have condensed your true qi in your body. They all laughed softly. Yes, what's there to be afraid of? Without a group of martial artists who have condensed their true qi in their bodies, they can't control a group of hungry people who are unarmed, dizzy with hunger, and can't even walk steadily.
It seems that the two veins of appointment and supervision have been opened, and people have a lot of ideas.
"In addition to transporting rice and dividing porridge, they can also be asked to do the work of washing rice, carrying water, and cooking porridge. We can save a lot of manpower. ”
"You can also ask them to go up the mountain and chop wood. Even the problem of firewood has been solved. ”
"We have enough grain to distribute to the surrounding villagers to help them resume spring plowing as soon as possible. In this way, the consumption of food can be slowed down. ”
......
Shen Yun sat on the futon at the top, smiling and listening to everyone's opinions.
And people are now used to such meetings. At the end of the meeting, as usual, the three problems raised by Shen Yun before had detailed and actionable solutions. And, according to this plan, everyone received their own tasks.
Shen Yun was very satisfied with this. He made an unprecedented summary of the meeting: "The hungry people outside are not lazy scoundrels and shabbys. They are villagers from all over the country who have come from all over the country to ask us for relief. It is moral to help them get through the current difficulties. I am glad that everyone has bravely provoked this morality. I am also very grateful to all of you for working together to come up with such a perfect relief package. You guys are really amazing. ”
Hearing this, everyone's hearts are sweeter than eating honey, all of them are full of red light and full of energy.
The next morning, everyone was busy with their duties.
The women's battalion is divided into the first female battalion and the second female battalion. A few days ago, they were washing rice and cooking porridge. Today, they are still in charge of this process. The difference is that the task of cooking porridge was handed over to the second female battalion where Zhao Xuan's wife Fang Ya was located. And Liu Yu'e's women's first battalion set up a long row of noodles next to the porridge shack and made steamed buns with noodles.
Soon, the whole soup kitchen area was filled with the sweet smell of white flour steamed buns.
"Are you still giving steamed buns today?" the hungry people stared at the steaming row of tall bamboo steamers, their mouths watering.
"Do you want to eat steamed buns?" the private warriors who were in charge of maintaining order next to them patiently explained to them, "Only soup kitchens are free." Steamed buns must be exchanged for something. ”
"What do you want to exchange for?" At this time, the hungry people only had steamed buns in their eyes, and they couldn't care about anything else.
"One load of dry firewood for two white-flour steamed buns. Each person can exchange up to two loads of dry firewood per day. ”
"A day of short-term work, four white-flour steamed buns, two bowls of rice porridge. ”
"In addition to selling white-flour steamed buns, we also sell grain seeds in our village. If you see it, the shed over there sells grain seeds. You can go over there and ask. ”
