Chapter 125 He Dashan Man Opens a Porridge Factory

Yun'er whispered a few words in their ears.

The two of them were overjoyed, and immediately took off their coats, barebacked, barefoot, and with a dagger in their mouths, seized the cable at the bow of the boat and plunged into the river, and quietly slipped to the shore.

The two worked together to pull the bamboo tube up the embankment.

On this side of the boat, Su Yu and Lu Yun'er continued to connect the bamboo tubes one by one, and not long after, I saw that the long bamboo tubes had been dragged up the embankment by He Qing and He Li, and reached the base of the granary.

He Qing He Li stopped pulling the bamboo tube, took off the dagger and dug a hole along the stone base of the granary.

The granary, with the exception of a stone around its base, was made of layers of reed mats, which were effortlessly made with a dagger.

The two saw that there was rice flowing out instantly, and hurriedly grabbed the bamboo tube to block the hole.

The two of them only heard the sound of "whooshing" constantly flowing into the bamboo tube, and not long after, they only heard a few women in the bottom warehouse crying out softly and in surprise: "Oh!

Yun'er hurriedly went down to the bottom warehouse, only to see that the messy things inside had been cleaned up by several women, and a thick canvas was spread on the ground.

Several women were holding bamboo tubes in their hands, and they were looking at the rice rolling out of the mouth of the bamboo tube with joy and novelty.

Yun'er hurriedly motioned for them to be quieter, and then asked them to pull the bamboo tube in, and then move it out when it was full.

Time is only a pillar of incense, the rice has almost filled the bottom warehouse, Yun'er felt that the hull of the ship has sunk a lot, worried about running aground, so he went out of the bottom warehouse again, stood at the mouth of the warehouse, according to the prior agreement, lit a candle, and slowly circled twice in the direction of He Qing and He Li, and then blew it out.

Then, he helped Su Yu to take off the bamboo tubes one by one, and when it was the last section, He Qing and He Li had already boarded the boat.

The boat then turned around and staggered away from the riverbank.

He Qing He Li came to the bottom of the warehouse, saw the eyes full of snow-white rice, excited, could not help himself, looked at Yun'er with admiration in his eyes, and said: "Miss Yun'er, your method is really clever! Even if the two of us want to break through the sky, we can't get up first! There are hundreds of rice warehouses along the coast, we use this method to get rid of them one by one, and most of the poor people in the capital will really be saved!"

Yun'er smiled: "Well, it's actually nothing, but although the rice is here, we still need to plan carefully how to relieve the victims!"

He Qing hurriedly said: "I think that if this is not the case, tomorrow our brothers will get some carts, load all the rice, and send it to them one by one, won't it?"

Yun'er shook her head when she heard this: "This is not good! You will inevitably be vigorous and vigorous, and you will inevitably alarm the government, and the local poor can give them rice, and they have no place to live or a pot to escape from the famine, so it is difficult for you to distribute it, even if they have rice, what will they take to make porridge?"

He Qing He Li scratched his head for a while, there was no way, Su Yu said: "I remember when I was in Qingzhou, in the year of famine, the government or rich people would accumulate virtue and do good, and they would open a porridge factory, so that those poor people and people fleeing the famine could eat it for free, I think we might as well open a porridge factory!"

He Li answered: "I have also thought about the porridge factory, but when the hungry people gather, won't it be easier to arouse the suspicion of the government?"

Su Yu said: "This is not difficult, when the time comes, your brothers pretend to be rich businessmen, only say that the purpose of opening a porridge factory is to accumulate virtue and do good, and they are willing to repay their kindness, this kind of thing, every year when natural disasters occur, there are also big households in various places, and the government is happy to let you scatter all your wealth and reduce the pressure for them!

Yun'er was also in favor, so she gave He Qing and He Li a lot of silver taels, and in order to make as little trouble as possible, let them choose a place to open a porridge factory in the suburbs of Dadu.

He Qing and He Li also worked extra hard, and in three days, they completed the construction of the porridge factory under a hillside more than two miles away from the east gate of Dadu.

I saw that the cloth was tall, with its back against the hillside, and more than a dozen huts were nailed with mountain miscellaneous wood, which were used to hold food and miscellaneous goods and personnel for rest, and more than a dozen large cauldrons were set up outside, and the chopped wood next to it was piled up like a mountain.

As soon as dawn was the day, He Qing and He Li hurriedly got up and came out of the cabin, a layer of mist outside had not yet dissipated, and the surrounding mountains, forests and wild trees were still shrouded in a wet shadow.

The two of them stepped on the grass, the dew drenching the hems of their newly purchased thin-soled boots and silk coats.

They walked to the swarthy iron pot and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Thinking of our brothers, a few days ago we were still running around and struggling for a meal, who would have thought that in a few days, we would actually wear silk and satin, and become rich and open a porridge factory to help others?

He Qing shouted, and more than a dozen people ran out of the cabin.

The two of them are assigned one by one, each performing their duties, carrying water to carry water, pouring rice to pour rice, burning pot to burn pot, not long after, more than a dozen iron pots, has been firelight, smoke is steaming, and after some time, the iron pot covered with the lid is extended, there are constantly white steam clusters, and the fragrance of rice soup is wafting in the four fields.

However, until noon, no one came, He Qing He Li saw more than a dozen pots of porridge, cold and hot, hot and dry, a little anxious, guessing that this place must be some distance from the road, relatively remote, and there are no residents around, so it is not known.

So they ordered a few of their men to go to the main road to stop a few people from escaping.

Several subordinates left the porridge factory one after another and arrived on the road, only to see groups of hungry people, helping the old and the young in an endless stream.

They went over, explained the situation, and invited them into the porridge factory to drink porridge, but none of them dared to believe that there would be such a good thing, but they only thought that it was some trap set by the government or gangsters, and they wanted their lives, and one by one they could not live or die.

Angry, a few of his subordinates had no choice, so they simply grabbed a thin little beggar, stretched his limbs, and carried him in the direction of the porridge factory.

The little beggar turned pale with fright, kicked and kicked all the way, wailing and shouting, and several of his men could not cry or laugh.

When he arrived at the porridge factory, he threw him on the ground, and someone hurriedly got him a bowl of porridge, but the little beggar thought that he wanted to poison him, so he knocked a bowl of porridge to the ground and ran away.

Fortunately, he was bumped into by He Qing and He Li, grabbed him and brought him back, ordered someone to pry his mouth open, and poured a bowl of soup and water, and then threw him on the ground and didn't care about him anymore.

The little beggar crawled on the ground and waited for a while, but did not see him die, and then he realized in his heart, and his face showed a look of surprise and madness, and his body, which had been struggling with hunger and prostration, had the spirit again, and ran away step by step.

He Qing and He Li waited for a while, but no one came again, and they couldn't help but feel lonely, so they ordered a dozen of their men to wait outside, and they went into the wooden house listlessly.

The two of them were discussing how to reply to Su Yu and Lu Yun'er in the house, only to hear a landslide and tsunami outside, and the voices shouted one after another, shaking the four fields.

They didn't know what was going on, and were about to go out, when one of his men broke through the door, looked at them with a frightened face, and said, "Two masters, it's terrible!

He Qing He Li hurriedly came out, went to the door, swept around, and suddenly felt dizzy.

I saw that all sides were surrounded by the flow of people who were pressed by the black pressure, and on the road leading to this side, a large number of refugees were still pouring in.

He Qing He Li commanded his subordinates, and hurriedly began to give porridge, more than a dozen pots of porridge, in less than a moment, it had been done, even if the pot water was also rushed to drink.

He Qing and He Li raised their eyes and saw that none of the people who had drunk the porridge had arrived, and most of the people who had not drunk it were all disappointed, some had to circle around the iron pot and couldn't bear to leave; some were silent and lamented in frustration; some fell to the ground and couldn't stand up; and some had to put their hands to the sky and cry to the sky.

For a time, the entire porridge factory was in chaos.

He Qing He Li couldn't do it for a while, so he had to order to boil the porridge again, so he repeatedly boiled it many times in a row, how could the refugees who were waiting for the soup porridge be in a mess, some of them were strong, they ate from noon to sunset, and they ate several reincarnations, and their stomachs were like a bulge.

Many old and frail, women and young children waited for a long time and did not drink a sip of soup, and when they saw the cloth put down, they all sat outside and cried.

He Qing and He Li were in the wooden house, and when the night was quiet, the cry was even more sad and clear, and the disturbed two people could not sit and lie down.

At this moment, the wooden door opened, and it turned out that Su Yu and Lu Yun'er went out to inquire about the news of the Dragon Guard, and only then did they go out of the city to check the porridge factory.

The two hurriedly got up to see it, Su Yu and Lu Yun'er heard the endless crying outside, and they were puzzled, and asked the two carefully, and the two replied to the day's events one by one.

Yun'er thought for a moment, and with Su Yu, He Qing and He Li, they came out of the wooden house and came to the outside of the low-hanging tarpaulin.

Yun'er instructed their brothers to call a dozen of their men to gather outside, and asked them to find dozens of able-bodied refugees, and they were divided into several pluckers, and went to the hillside to cut down trees, put wires on both sides of each pot, and drove piles, one of the three feet of wooden stakes, until the entrance, and then tied a trunk with the thickness of the bowl mouth to the wooden stake, and from a distance, a fence was formed. According to the number of refugees, Lu Yun'er added more than a dozen iron pots at the same time. After everything stopped, Su Yu and Lu Yun'er left and went back to the big ship docked at the dock.

The next day, He Qing and He Li got up early, let more than a dozen of his subordinates start boiling porridge, and assigned the dozens of refugees who helped last night to guard the fences to maintain order.

Those refugees have food and wages at the end of the day, and they are all happy and grateful, and they naturally obey He Qing and He Li, and they all do their best.

In this way, the order is naturally much better than yesterday, even if occasionally someone does not follow the rules, and is seen by the dozens of hungry people who maintain order, they will find out for him, so that it is orderly, and the speed of soup soup is also faster, and everyone has something to eat.

After a few days, everything was safe, He Qing and He Li came out to check at noon, and they were very satisfied to see that everyone was in good order.

They walked through the hungry people, those people knew that it was the two of them who gave porridge, they were all grateful, and they nodded and greeted them one after another, and the admiration of "He Shanren" came and went, and the two of them couldn't help but feel a little fluttering. Just as he was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard someone in the crowd arguing.
