Chapter 287 Chapter 287: Desire to get rich overnight [asking for monthly votes]
In short, all her troubles are caused by "poverty". If she has money, everything can be solved.
Shen Tang couldn't help but daydream and talk in his sleep: "Wangchao, do you think I can make a fortune if I use the word 'spend money like water'? Hehe, it's the Midas touch. ”
Gu Chi poured cold water on him without mercy.
“Squandering money like water? Maybe turning gold into dust?”
That's really a prodigal son who commits crimes.
Shen Tang: "..."
Unbearable: "Are you afraid that you are not the reincarnation of ETC!"
Are these literary scholars proficient in choking her to death? All of them are self-taught and don’t “love children” at all!
Gu Chi intuitively felt that "ETC" was not a good word. He heard this thing from Shen Tang's heart more than once. If he didn't understand it, he asked about its quality. He asked "sincerely": "It means...C, what is it?" ?”
Shen Tang: "One bar will take off and land automatically."
Can hurting her make Gu Chi happy?
Gu Chi: "..."
With such a lord, he is actually under a lot of pressure.
After a lot of mutual hurting, the sadness caused by poverty faded a lot, and Gu Chi turned his mind to business. I have to say that my protagonist is still very reliable at times. He also knew about Yan Zi's efforts to revitalize the people, but what he had learned was so complicated that it was difficult to remember it for a while.
If you have the money, this is indeed a good idea.
It can solve people's livelihood and economy in the shortest time.
The purpose of building the floating aunts in the government office has been achieved, and the people have enough to eat, and they even have enough food and money to buy and sell. Over time, the economy can gradually recover and revitalize this stagnant water. However, the method is a good method, but it is poor and poor.
A penny can stump a hero.
And what they lack is more than a penny?
Lin Feng saw that Shen Tang and Mr. Gu were worried about money and food.
He asked: "Why not allow rich people to donate?"
Shen Tang: "Donate?"
Lin Feng whispered: "In the early years, I followed my family at home. Ci learns how to manage household affairs. Every winter, Jia Ci will ask the family steward to allocate a batch of last year's old grain from the public account. Each family will also take turns to hold banquets, build tents, provide porridge, and build bridges and roads. "
The nature is similar to a charity dinner.
Every family came together to help the people affected by the snowstorm.
Hearing this, Shen Tang was noncommittal.
Gu Chi also smiled bitterly.
He knew this was not Lin Feng's problem.
As a female family member of a house, the housekeeping duties she learned from her mother were nothing more than dealing with favors and spending expenses, and she only managed the people in the house. With Lin Feng's family background, if those changes had not happened, she would still be a clan wife in the future, considering the prosperity of the clan and the inheritance of the family, but this is far from enough.
Perhaps from the perspective of a housewife with a relatively simple living environment, allocating old grain, setting up a shed to serve porridge, allocating money, building bridges and roads, this behavior can already solve the problem.
But, can it really solve the problem?
Let’s not talk about big places, just talk about the area of Heyin. How many people are struggling to death from starvation? How can a little thin porridge and water save him? Fortunately, they survived this winter, but the next year they still had no land to plant and no food to eat.
The difference between the two is that they will starve to death early or freeze to death and starve to death after suffering countless hardships.
Although Lin Feng didn't understand yet, she could tell that Lang Jun and Mr. Gu did not agree with her immature suggestion.
So, I apologized quietly.
"... Feng made a mistake, please don't be angry, sir."
Shen Tang said, "I don't blame you for not being angry."
She only asked Lin Feng : "Why are common people hungry?"
Lin Fengdao: "There is no money or food at home, bad weather, little harvest, heavy field taxes, corrupt officials...and..."
She tried to think of every possible reason.
But Shen Tang said: "No, no, no, these are all reasons, but they are not the most fundamental reasons."
Lin Feng blinked: "Please clarify my doubts, Mr. Lang. "
Shen Tang said: "There is no land to plant."
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment: "No, there is no land to plant?"
This reason had not occurred to her.
Shen Tang did not regard Lin Feng as a nine-year-old child. He just said some lessons that needed to be said. There was no need to wait for Lin Feng to fall.
"Yes, there is no land to plant."
Shen Tang softened his tone: "I do not deny that the original intention of people like your father-in-law to build tents to serve rice, build bridges and roads, must be for Do your best to help the suffering people. For reputation, or perhaps for pity, this spirit deserves recognition and encouragement. However, the royal family is the royal family, and the powerful family belongs to the powerful family. The two are completely different. "
Mobilize the wealthy and wealthy! A wealthy family donates money for disaster relief? Haha, it’s good if they don’t jump out and hinder us.
What Shen Tang said overturned Lin Feng's previous understanding: "For powerful families, disaster relief is something that has no substantial benefit to them and even damages their interests. In addition to reputation, what other benefits can be obtained?"
Lin Feng choked.
She remembered that when her mother-in-law did those good deeds, she was indeed ridiculed openly or covertly by various houses, and it was thankless. In this world, food is precious, so what are the people doing for free? But grandma does it in the name of "praying for XX" and so on. They can't object openly, but they just feel unhappy in their hearts.
If it is really profitable, why are there so few people doing it?
Shen Tang continued.
“Disaster relief is meant to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.”
Lin Feng asked for advice: “How to cure the root cause?”
“If we want to truly solve the plight of the people, there is one and only one way, which is to let the people Have your own land to plant.”
Lin Feng said: "Can't we reclaim wasteland?" Shen Tang asked: "How much land can be reclaimed? These lands are not fertile enough, the crops will not grow well, and the people's harvest will naturally be poor. If it were a fertile land, it would have been destroyed long ago. People occupy it.”
Let the people form a good self-sufficiency cycle.
Naihe land is a limited resource.
There is more land for the common people, but less land for the powerful families.
Besides, if all the common people farm their own land, who will farm their land? It’s not cost-effective to hire someone to do the farming.
Only when people lose their land and cannot financially support their families, will they sell themselves at a low price to farm land for them. This is a good deal.
As for the consequences of doing so?
It’s not them eating it anyway.
They still live in a mansion, are served by hundreds of servants, have no worries about food and drink, and are glamorous. Will the starvation of common people affect them from eating less than a bowl of polished rice? There are so many common people in the world, and if this group dies, there will be another group. The land of one's own family does not have to worry about the race of the people.
Lin Feng was silent for a long time after hearing this.
She thought that she had acquired the "Essential Skills of Elevating the People" as a scribe, and that she would have a place in this world, and that she would be able to compete with the world's great men in the future. But now it seems that the road she has to go is far longer than She imagined it would be long and arduous.
Lin Feng believed that the common people were suffering because of bad weather conditions and insufficient fertility of the fields. Yan Ling might be able to solve the problem and the common people in the world would no longer suffer from coldness and exhaustion. As for the frequent man-made disasters and the constant corruption of low-level officials, these can also be dealt with carefully.
But Lin Feng never thought about it.
What should the common people do if they have no land to farm?
Why is there no land to plant? ? ?
Shen Tang: “Everyone will want to grab a good thing.”
For example, when she sees extremely wealthy people, she also wants to pick up the sword and transfer their assets to her own name through various means.
【Robbing the rich to help me】
Lin Feng looked ashamed.
Shen Tang doesn’t think it’s a big deal.
No one is born omniscient and omnipotent. Everyone's vision is limited by their own position and environment. She cannot criticize Lin Feng, who was raised in a house and was forced to live among the people overnight. empathy of the common people.
Even the common people themselves often cannot see clearly why they live such a difficult life, so they think it is "fate".
Shen Tang asked Lin Feng to get something.
Seeing Lin Feng leave, Gu Chi spoke up: "Master, why don't you let Ling De follow Wu Hui and the others to settle the common people?"
The more contact you have, the faster you will understand.
Shen Tang shook his head.
It was she who deliberately transferred Lin Feng from Chu Yao, so that Lin Feng could be busy organizing the administration and be temporarily separated from the people of Fugu City. Her purpose of doing this is also very simple: "Looking at the tide and observing people's hearts, do you think that the common people are good people?"
Gu Chi: "Of course not."
On the contrary, there are many The evil deeds of common people are even more disgusting, but they are ignorant and do not think that their actions are wrong.
"Although Lingde is young, he can be compared to nine years old, but in the eyes of some ignorant people, nine years old is already an age that can be taken home for fun and obscenity." Shen Tang spoke calmly and looked calm. , "I cannot guarantee Lingde's safety while he is away studying. Quan, if someone doesn't pay attention and something happens...you can learn slowly. I'm not short of people to the extent of exploiting child labor. With the current situation in Fugu City, does Wang Chao think this possibility is very small?"
Gu Chi: "..."
He really didn't think so carefully, or in other words, he also made the same mistake as Lin Feng. Shen Tang did not linger on this topic: "Act as quickly as possible before Zhang and the others react. It's Chinese New Year, so let's kill the fat pig to add some flavor to the new year."
After that, he put down the account books of the government office. aside.
Having roughly looked at it, the deficit is appalling.
No money can be seen even if I look at it.
If the Zhang family "gives generously", Shen Tang will have enough food and money to engage in work-for-relief, revitalize Fugu's economy, and then spread throughout Heyin County. Only Zhao Feng and Gong Shuwu, two super capable warriors and humanoid bulldozers, have their place.
Gu Chi: "..."
Fortunately, these two couldn't hear what their lord was saying.
If you knew it, why wouldn’t you run all night? Oh, in my lord's words, maybe I bought a station ticket and carried the train on my back?
Wenxin scribes are full of mobility.
Kang Shi and Qishan stayed up all night.
Finally, the accumulated files were sorted into categories.
Early the next morning, several officials came to work at Dianmao early yesterday, but were tricked by Gu Chi into going out to do errands.
When Qishan and Qi Shan came over, Shen Tang rolled up his long sleeves with a black armband, fixed his shoulders, exposed his two white arms, climbed up to a high place with a hammer, and repaired and reinforced it with a hammer. The crumbling roof beams and the leaking tiles were repaired.
Watching their blood pressure soar.
“Lord!”
"Ah, it's Yuan Liang and Ji Shou."
Shen Tang tucked the wooden handle of the hammer around his waist, patted the dust on his palms with both hands, jumped down, and landed steadily, his body The shape does not shake. Behind the two Qi Shan, more than twenty soldiers carried a dozen heavy wooden barrels.
"Have you finished sorting it out?"
It's only been one night, and these two are too lazy.
Shen Tang moved forward to take a look while wiping off the hot sweat.
Good guy!
All the wooden barrels are filled with dossier slips!
The four thousand in the previous chapter plus the three thousand in this chapter, seven thousand words
Ah, I still have three thousand short, Gan
I will add another 2,000 words in the early morning.
