Chapter 157 Refugee Area
An hour later, Gu Chan and others were arranged to the refugee area in the north of Zhongyuan City.
At the beginning, everyone still had expectations and fantasies about life in Zhongyuan City, but when everyone was arranged to live in this refugee area, everyone instantly became disheartened.
Zhongyuan City is big, but at the same time, the gap between the rich and the poor is also very obvious.
The entire city is divided into four major areas: southeast, northwest and northwest. The high-rise buildings in the east area are so luxurious that it looks like where the rich live, so it is called the rich area for short.
The southern district is full of green shops, restaurants, etc., and the commerce is very developed, so it can be called a commercial district.
The West District is slightly worse. It is basically small courtyards, small alleys, etc., full of fireworks. This is the civilian area of the entire Zhongyuan City.
As for the North District!
Haha!
The houses here are dilapidated, covered with cobwebs everywhere, and rats and ants are rampant. It is usually a gathering place for beggars, refugees, gangsters, etc. in the city. It is a veritable refugee area!
After tens of thousands of Tiger Army soldiers and tens of thousands of border people were resettled, everyone realized that in the entire Central Plains city, status and class divisions were very serious. Anyone who said that he was from the North District , everyone in the city will look down on him.
So now everyone is in despair. After the Border Tiger Army is defeated, they will only get the status of refugees when they come to Zhongyuan City.
Even all the big families in Wuheng County who came here to settle down temporarily started out as refugees.
But what surprised Gu Chan and others!
Although the county magistrate Zheng Shixian was a bit cynical, he still seemed to have a good conscience. As soon as everyone settled down in the North District, he immediately sent people to transport hundreds of bags of rice from the grain depot and paid for it on the spot. Get a big pot and start cooking porridge.
Everyone was excited instantly!
Because at the border, not everyone can afford rice porridge, but here in Zhongyuan City, hundreds of bags of rice can be easily used to make porridge. This shows that the economic development of the Zhongyuan Zone , there is still a big difference from the border areas.
Gu Chan and others sat far away under a broken wall, smelling the aroma of rice porridge wafting in front of them, and they all couldn't help but swallow saliva in their throats.
Zhang Wanshan stretched out his hand to wipe his saliva and said, "It seems that County Magistrate Zheng is still a good magistrate! The deal is hundreds of bags of rice, which is so clean and generous. It seems that we escaped to Zhongyuan City this time. It's the right time."
"I don't think it's that simple. Although Zhongyuan City is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and has relatively developed economy and commerce, the total price of these hundreds of bags of rice is tens of thousands of taels. He shouldn't be so generous and just take it out. Tens of thousands of taels of silver to help the victims and the defeated Tiger Army soldiers?" Zhou Dachuan shook his head and said.
Gu Chan chuckled, "He is setting up a personality for himself!"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Wanshan asked.
"The meaning of setting up a persona is to create a good personal image for yourself to cover up your shortcomings. People with serious thoughts often use this trick to confuse others, especially bad people, who love to do this." Gu Chan explained with a smile.
Dry!
After all, before time travel, she was still a mature woman!
She has seen too many bad people. People who set up their own personalities at the beginning must have a certain purpose. When the time comes, he will reveal his true purpose.
This is ugly human nature!
Shen Sanfeng smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, his target is not you refugees, but the big families from our border."
"Godfather, with the wealth you brought, you can now live in the rich area of the East District!" Gu Chan said. "Don't I leave some for you?" Shen Sanfeng reached out and patted Gu Chan on the head, saying with a doting look on his face.
Before Gu Chan had time to speak, Shen Wuji, who was sitting next to him, took the lead and muttered, "Leave it to them? There are hundreds of people from our Shen family coming back this time! If we leave it to them, what will we do with our hundreds of mouths? We don't have to eat anymore." ?”
"That's right, grandpa, let's take care of ourselves first!" Shen Yao also shouted.
Shen Sanfeng stared at the two of them and was about to curse.
Gu Chan waved her hand to stop him, "Forget it, godfather, the father and son are right. Your Shen family has hundreds of people to support, so it's much easier than mine."
"It's not easy for you now! There are about thirty people of your own, plus more than ten people from your wife's family, the total number is almost fifty. With the little silver you brought, I'm afraid it won't last long. ." Shen Sanfeng said with a worried look.
Gu Chan turned her head and glanced at the dozen or so carriages parked there, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
When she was in Wuheng County, she defrauded Ding Sheng and Wang Feihu of a total of 400,000 taels of silver, but she spent more than half of it on medicine at that time. In addition, Zhao Erniu led people to plunder, and now she has a total of more than a dozen carriages. It contained three to four thousand taels of silver, plus half a box of unused spiritual herbs.
And now she has fifty mouths to feed. How long can she survive with just this little money?
Shen Sanfeng knew Gu Chan's difficulties and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, my godfather will find a way to leave some cash for you. The worst he can do is let you buy a big house in a civilian area in the West District. You continue to open Chunfeng Medical Clinic so that you can feed so many people under you."
"Thank you godfather." Gu Chan thanked him gratefully.
"We are all one family, what are we talking about? Now I just hope that we all live well, instead of becoming refugees when we come to Zhongyuan City." Shen Sanfeng said dotingly.
Gu Chan nodded, smiling from ear to ear.
Shen Wuji and his son were sitting aside, hating her so much that it itched her teeth.
At this time, pots of rice porridge were cooked. Zheng Shixian stood behind the pots and shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone, don't grab it! There are hundreds of bags of rice! Everyone has something to eat, so line up one by one. Just get it.”
"Thank you, Mr. Qingtian." All the refugees thanked in unison.
Then everyone happily stepped forward to queue up to receive the rice porridge, holding their bowls in their hands.
When most of the people had received a bowl of rice porridge and were squatting on the ground and eating it, Zheng Shixian smiled and said, "Everyone, I have tried my best to help everyone today. After this meal, I will also take some rice porridge." I won’t give you any more food to help you. I hope you all can make a living in Zhongyuan City and work hard to support yourself.”
The refugees paused on the spot!
Fuck!
At this moment, everyone realized that after working for a long time, it turned out that after tens of thousands of people escaped, each person could only receive a bowl of rice porridge to eat. After this meal, everyone would no longer receive any money from the government. Relief.
If you break down what Zheng Shixian said clearly, you will support yourselves from now on. After this, whether everyone is alive or dead has nothing to do with me!
How can this not make everyone dumbfounded?
