Chapter 22 Bet

"Replace formation with attack, I know," Ruyi, who had been immersed in eating beside him, suddenly said, "Use attack instead of formation, this is a common trick used by Cao Cao of Wei State."

"Fuck you, eat your food." Li Yuan was furious when he saw his second son interrupting. The good atmosphere was ruined by him, and he quickly said: "This is my second son Ruyi, who usually

He just likes to listen to stories, and when he has nothing to do, he dances with swords and sticks, making the two adults laugh."

"Hey, what the Duke said is wrong. A man must be able to eat and fight. He has the style of a father." Mr. Wang held his beard and smiled.

Sun Simiao's heart was almost broken by Chang Sheng's words. He didn't want to be polite to them anymore and interrupted and asked: "Work-for-relief, Chang Sheng mentioned it just now. Can you explain something to us now?"

Changsheng put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "The explanation of 'work-for-relief' is actually very simple. Just one sentence: Find work for the unemployed. If you have work, you will earn money. If the unemployed earn money, they will naturally not need it.

Relief."

"Unemployed people, you mean refugees?" Chen Liang tried to guess.

"Yes, but it is not entirely true. It is not only the refugees but also the common people who are idle at home and will become refugees in the future.

Let’s talk about the refugees first. The reason why refugees become refugees is because after the locust plague, farmers have no harvest and no other way to make a living. The family has lost its source of livelihood. When all the food stored at home is eaten, the whole family has no choice but to go out.

Begging for food.

And if there are locust-infested areas everywhere outside, then these people will not be able to get food, so they will sell their sons and daughters, or even eat their own flesh and blood.

If there is an epidemic again, these beggars will be infected with the disease and then pass it on to others, so there will be a big epidemic after a major disaster. This is not only a natural disaster but also a man-made disaster."

Changsheng said a lot in one breath, and now he could finally stop and take a sip of soup, letting the person opposite him digest it first.

After a while, Sun Simiao spoke first, and the old man looked a little excited: "Yes, yes, it is exactly the same as the epidemic I encountered in Tianshui County in the past. First it was one person, then a village, and then it developed into a county.

.Then it spread everywhere, like a prairie fire, uncontrollable..."

"According to what you said, the source of the epidemic is these refugees. But the refugees have no fixed homes and can go wherever they want. How can we control them?" Chen Liang raised his own question.

"Of course the root cause is not just refugees, but refugees spread the disease, that's what I mean. So Uncle Chen, we are back to the original question, why do refugees become refugees?"

Wang Yannian's eyes suddenly lit up: "The reason why refugees are refugees is because they have no livelihood... So if they have a livelihood..."

"If they had a livelihood, do you think they would still be running around begging for food?" Chang Sheng said with a smile.

"It makes sense. If there is a livelihood, who among these people would be willing to risk their lives to go out and beg for food." Wang Yannian said, stroking his hands.

"But a group of farmers have been farming for generations. What else can they do besides farming?" Chen Liang asked again.

Changsheng wiped his hand, put it in his mouth, and whistled hard.

Immediately, a servant pushed open the door and placed a bulging bundle in front of her, then bowed and left.

Changsheng: "Sir, please take a look!" He unwrapped the bag and found a heavy one hundred taels of silver inside.

"This is the money that His Majesty gave me when I was in the imperial capital of Daxing. My nephew has always kept it with me without daring to spend it. Now, for the sake of the people of Longzhou, my nephew has decided to contribute all of it."

When Ruyi heard this, she said in her heart, you obviously threw a big ingot to a beggar just now, you are really good at deceiving people.

But looking at his father and Changsheng, he only dared to think about it in his heart, and he bit the pig's trotter in front of him in depression.

"We have long heard of the young man's deeds in defeating the Japanese envoys in the capital's court. It is true that a hero emerges from a young age and exalts the prestige of our country!" Chen Liang said and burst into laughter.

"My nephew is just lucky. I asked someone to inquire this morning. There are already homeless people living here in Dongshi. Homeless men only need 100 coins, and women only need 50 coins. Children.

It's cheaper. I plan to buy a thousand of his men first, and let them follow Sun Shenyi's medical guidance to identify the herbs. After they memorize the appearance of the herbs, they will go into the mountains in batches and bring back all the herbs I need.

In addition, I am also planning to build some huts and huts for them at the foot of the mountain. They will go up the mountain during the day and rest there at night.

Eating is also simple. When you go into the mountains during the day, you can pick some wild fruits and dig some wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger. When you come back in the evening, we can eat together. You don’t have to eat well. Buy more of the cheapest corn, beans and beans on the market and cook them.

One pot is enough.

The most important thing is: I plan to set a number for them every day. Those who can reach this number every day will be rewarded with one penny each. Those who exceed this number, or the herbs are of good quality, will be rewarded with another penny. If the number cannot be determined,

Then they have no money to pay. This money is considered as their wages, and they can spend it however they want. Uncle, do you think they will be willing to do it?"

Chen Liang immediately received the message: "Yes, why don't you want to? Those who fled the famine have not enough to eat. Now they are not only responsible for the food, but also have the money. No fool will not go."

This is only the effect of one hundred taels. Now I have two thousand taels. Two uncles, do you think my nephew can finish searching Longshan?"

As soon as he finished speaking about longevity, the people opposite him understood instantly.

Chen Liang counted on his fingers excitedly: "One hundred taels is a male, one tael is ten, one thousand taels is ten thousand, two thousand taels is a full 20,000 males!"

"Twenty thousand men, not to mention Longshan, Huashan have all been searched." Wang Yannian suppressed his inner impulse and thought: Why didn't I think of this method?

Changsheng looked at these two people, then at his silent father and Sun Simiao who was eager to try.

Just when she was about to say something else, Sun Simiao grabbed her hand and said, "Chang Sheng'er, tell me what you just said is true!"

"To tell you the truth, you are my savior. I don't dare to lie to anyone. Besides, it's not difficult at all. It's just that we didn't think of it at the moment."

"Okay, now take me to see the men you bought, and you go with me!" He said, pulling Changsheng to stand up.

Changsheng thought: You are too hasty, let me eat first. He quickly said: "Don't be anxious, sit down and listen to me slowly. This is just a rough idea, everyone is still here."

"He said, patting the silver on the table, and comforted: "Besides, there are so many people entering the mountain, no more than you.

People can come and go freely, how to arrange it, how many people are in a group, where to start searching, how much area to search every day, what things need to be brought into the mountains, how to deal with dangerous situations such as jackals, tigers and leopards, whether the government needs to send troops for protection, these are all

It’s a problem, and there are still many details that need to be discussed clearly by everyone.”

This series of questions were like basins of cold water, pouring down Sun Simiao's heart. It was true that he was too impatient. When he heard about the method of collecting herbs, he was so excited that he couldn't contain his emotions. But there were so many people, and he was alone.

Can anyone take care of me? I felt so shocked that I sat down and became speechless.

When Wang Yannian and Chen Liang heard Chang Sheng's words, they no longer dared to look down on the child. They sat upright, as if they were discussing matters in the court, and were ready to listen.

Changsheng saw everyone looking at him and said with a smile: "I wonder what you adults think of this locust plague. In my nephew's opinion, to put it disrespectfully, it is not so much a punishment sent down by God on the world.

It was given to us by God

An opportunity to make a fortune. If we seize this great opportunity, not only will we not need any relief from the court, but we will also be able to increase some taxes for the national treasury. If this achievement reaches the ears of the emperor, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"

Chen Liang laughed angrily, pointed at Changsheng and asked: "Absurd, ridiculous, the greatest absurdity in the world. Just now you said that buying people into the mountains made some sense, but now you say that the locust plague not only does not require imperial relief, but also can

Earning money for the imperial court, isn't this a fantasy? How could such a thing have happened in all dynasties throughout the ages? What do you think, Mr. Wang?"

Master Wang did not answer immediately at this moment. Although he did not believe in the statement of immortality, the child in front of him was thinking and speaking in an unusual way.

After thinking about it over and over, he slowly said: "Chang Sheng, it's not that the uncles are using their seniority to suppress you, it's really that what you said is too unbelievable. I advise you to think carefully. If you admit your mistake and regret it now, we can all pretend that you never said this."

If not, if you can't justify yourself, then we can't let you off lightly."

Chang Sheng smiled and said to himself that you are quite a good person. If you know how to leave me a way out, I will give you a share of this great opportunity.
