Chapter 85 Dengzhou Shi Family (3)

Seeing Shi Yiran so politely means that he shouldn't be bad.

Moreover, he should have noticed that something was wrong, otherwise he would not have to worry about it at all. Just ask the servants to drive the people away, but if they do this, their family will probably find it difficult to be quiet in the future.

"Well, let's not mention the previous incident. You accidentally saved many people. It was a merit, but now there are constant disasters in the world, people are displaced, and countless people are fleeing.

Because of your unintentional actions, many people have become dependent on the Shi family. You suddenly stop supplying and the people have no support. I am afraid that they will be in a hurry and cause chaos.

But if you continue to supply, even if your Shi family has a big business, you will lose your life sooner or later, and it will attract the attention of others."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Shi Yiran, Zhao Kuangyin and the old housekeeper agreed deeply, and looked at Guo Hao and waited for him to continue talking.

"The three strategies I mentioned can all solve this problem, but the results are very different, it depends on how Shi Daguan Ren chooses."

"Please tell me, please listen carefully."

“Okay, this is the best strategy:

The Shi family can contact the government and donate grain to help the victims. If the government comes forward, the Shi family will not be too popular and can also gain a good reputation.

But the disadvantage is that it covers sand and sea, and the water is a drop in the bucket. The victims are simply a bottomless pit. No matter how powerful your Shi family is, I cannot completely solve it, so I can only use this to get rid of it."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Shi Yiran shook his head. Guo Hao's method would definitely be a good idea if it were in a peaceful era, but it would not work now.

Because the government itself is insatiable, if they wanted to solve the problem, they would have already figured out a solution. Why should they wait for the Shi family to come forward? This is equivalent to giving others the opportunity to exploit.

"The Zhongst strategy is: it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

I heard that your family has several large manors, but they don’t have to be replaced at all. They can even be expanded to accommodate those victims.”

"Um?"

"What do you say about this young master?"

"You bought a manor before to enjoy the appetite, so there are limited livestock inside, and you can actually replace it.

You can ask those refugees to help manage the manor, raise more chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, chickens and ducks can lay eggs, and cattle and sheep have fur and meat.

The feces can be fed to the fields with fish, and there are more food and vegetables. In short, you give them food to eat when they do things. If the livestock crops they produce can be sold for money, you won’t suffer any losses.

But don’t sign a contract for sale. Once the year is better, let them leave. Not only will the government not say anything, but the refugees will also be grateful to you!”

After Zhongce finished speaking, the three of them nodded. Shi Yiran was a smart person. Guo Hao’s best strategy had shortcomings before, so Zhongce must have them too.

"Young Master, what should I pay attention to in this Zhong Ce?"

Guo Hao pondered for a moment when he heard this, "We must grasp the standards and send away refugees as soon as possible, otherwise we will raise too many families and may gather people!"

When the three of them heard this, their faces were fixed. They didn't dare to wear this hat, especially during this sensitive period. What the court is most worried about now is rebellion. If there are too many refugees, it is easy to lose the population.

"My son, what's the worst thing?"

Guo Hao heard this and said casually: "This is simple. Isn't you related to the army? If you have a soldier to help you disperse the refugees and show the power of the Shi family, naturally no one dares to provoke you.

But this method is not long. Over time, the people will think that you are unkind and bully the people by relying on the forces in the army. Once something happens, the Shi family will be the first to be affected!"

I have finished talking about the three middle and the bottom and three strategies. Each method has its pros and cons. Comparing it, it seems that only middle and the plan are better, but this level is too difficult to make me.

But Guo Hao actually had a solution in his mind, that is, the Chen family and the Beggars' Sect. In fact, when he entered the Central Plains, he thought about how to manage the power of the Central Plains. Xiangzhou did not find a breakthrough, and the Shi family in Dengzhou was an opportunity.

"This young master, oh by the way, I don't know what you call me."

Guo Hao clasped his fists and said, "I'm Guo Hao, this is my righteous brother Zhao Kuangyin."

Zhao Kuangyin also clasped his fists, and Shi Yiran bowed to him and said, "I have met two brothers, and this time they can help. Shi is very grateful.

Although the three strategies mentioned by Brother Guo just now have their pros and cons, I think only the middle strategy is acceptable, and the others are not feasible.

The Shi family has been in Dengzhou for so many years, but in fact, they have dealt with the government a lot. If the officials are insatiable, they will probably not have a few grains of food in the hands of the people.

Brother Guo said that he would let the Shi family run the manor, which I have never done before. Although the Shi family runs some business, I really don’t know how to do it, so I ask Brother Guo to teach me."

Shi Yiran really chose Zhongce. Guo Hao was not surprised. His method was complicated, but in fact it was to use labor for relief.

Work-for-relief can not only resettle refugees, but also create value, so that the Shi family will not be able to lose money and fill the losses.

Many people sell their contracts in order not to let go of their words. The Shi family just temporarily takes them in and dismisses them when the time is right, and new refugees can also join.

As for management, there was no concept of operating a manor at this time. The manor was usually private and a money-burning activity. Guo Hao proposed to operate it, which was indeed a new idea.

"Actually, you don't have to think too complicatedly. Running a manor is the same as doing business. Not only does the project make up for your losses, but it can also make money.

The items produced in your manor can be sold out. If you think that Zhongyuan will not be sold, I can help you contact the Chen family in Jiangnan. You can communicate with each other, such as using poultry to exchange for tea, silk, etc..”

When Shi Yiran heard that Guo Hao could help him, he was overjoyed. The two of them discussed in detail. The Shi family decided to run the manor, and Guo Hao successfully found a partner for the Chen family in Zhongyuan.

"Brother Guo, although you have told me all the details, I am still worried. I hope you can stay for a few more days to help me fight!"

"Oh? You want to invite me to play? Then my appearance fee is very high, 100 coins a day, what do you think?"

"Well……"

Even though Shi's family had a big business, they felt that the price was a bit high. Guo Hao saw Shi Yiran hesitating and suddenly laughed.

"Brother Yiran, don't take it seriously. I'm just joking with you. Don't worry, I won't leave these days and help you open up the situation. Just provide my brothers with food and drink."

Shi Yiran laughed and hurriedly said, "This is natural. You can stay here tonight and go to meet those refugees with me tomorrow."

"This doesn't work. We have two partners in the inn. We don't dare to leave them behind. There is no need to live there."

"So you still have friends? Then take it, my family has rooms!"

Guo Hao finally refused Shi Yiran. He helped him, but he couldn't show that he cared too much. He helped Shi Yiran for future cooperation, and he didn't lack these few houses.

In the evening, the two went back to the inn to rest and told Li Fu about the situation here. Naturally, Li Fu would not have any objection. He was there where Guo Hao was.

The next morning, the Shi family built a porridge shed at the back door. Shi Yiran waited for Guo Hao to come over, and Guo Hao did not appear until the Sierra.

"Oh, brothers, I've been waiting for you in the morning. You've come at noon. The victims are almost there!"

There are about 400 victims, and they look scary. Shi Yiran has never seen this before and dares not speak in front of others.

Guo Hao looked at the victims like this, and the victims also looked at them. Guo Hao said in Zhao Kuangyin's ear. Zhao Kuangyin nodded. He was not nervous and stood up.

"My fellow villagers, everyone knows that Shi Daguan is a living Bodhisattva and a great charity. He has been giving alms over the years, and everyone has received a lot of benefits from him. Some of them can survive because of Shi Daguan.

Although the Shi family has a great career, they cannot afford to make trouble like this. So from today on, all the ingredients are gone and Shi Daguanren can't afford it, but they cannot leave their blind dates behind, so Shi Daguanren decided to serve porridge.

However, this porridge is not something that everyone can eat, only the elderly, young, women and children can receive. For those with wealthy local families, don’t come and eat and drink. Everyone supervises each other, and the food in the Shi family is not blown by the strong wind.

Foreign villagers, without land and no livelihood, can come to Shijia to help with their workers, manage three meals a day, sell the goods well, and pay everyone wages.

And there is no need to sign a contract for sale. As long as the year is good, everyone can go back at any time. The Shi family will never stop it and will give you some money. Are you willing to come!"
