That's 150,000 yuan in one month. If you spend it in such a way, even if your family has gold and silver, it won't be enough.
This does not include the fact that once the news spreads, more and more refugees will come over after hearing the news. At that time, the number may double or even more. At that time, won’t the expenses be higher?
Zhou Quan is worried about whether Su Shi's financial resources can continue to support him. But some people don't think so. On the contrary, they think more long-term.
At noon, Bao Heizi came to eat again, and it was still the same curtain, with Su Shi and two people scrambling for food among them.
Bao Heizi has a good personality. As long as you don't make mistakes and don't make mistakes in his hands, he can talk to people in a pleasant manner.
At least that's how Su Shi felt. When the meal was finished and the tea was served, Bao Heizi held the tea cup and said with a bitter smile: "Brother Shi, you don't know that Rencha has been sold at a sky-high price. It can be said that
It is comparable to gold! But even so, it is still limited. It is said to come from foreign lands, but there is not much. A family can only buy one catty per month at most, and it needs to be registered, and non-rich people do not have the right to buy.
Haha, I can’t afford to drink.”
"Uncle Bao, are you kidding me? When I return to the city in a while, I will send someone to give you three kilograms in your house, and drink it first. If it is not enough, I will give it away." Su Shi glanced at Bao Heizi and knew that this was the other party's attempt to ask for benevolence.
Tea, it was hard to explain clearly, so he started to hit himself with some words, and he took the initiative to speak.
"Okay, I'll count you as filial." Bao Heizi immediately laughed. But he quickly put away his smile and said, "I'm not a freeloader. I eat what you have and take what you have. I also have something to say to you. Do you want to hear it?
?”
"Of course, I regard Uncle Bao as a family member. If you have anything to say, please just say it."
"Okay, then I'm not polite. Brother Shi, it's right to do good deeds by giving out porridge. But have you ever thought about when will it end? If your actions attract more refugees, what will happen?
How long can it last?”
"Of course, you would like to say that with Rencha's income, you can last for a long time. But have you ever thought about it, a favor is a favor for one day, but a favor for ten days may turn into an enemy."
"When these refugees get used to having free food, they will not leave and will wait for you to support them every day. What will you do then?"
"More importantly, if time goes by, how will the court officials view you?"
"If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will blow them away!"
"What's the matter? You, Su Tianyou, are the only good person in the whole court. Aren't the other ministers the same? Doesn't this mean you are giving everyone eye drops?"
"If this goes on for a long time, you will become a public enemy. And in order to bring you down, they will use any tricks. If nothing else, they just need to put a label on you to win people's hearts, and you will suffer.
I can’t walk away in circles.”
"Although you have never made use of your origin and bloodline, it is undeniable that they all exist, and they are not something you would not have without contact. When someone really says this, what will the officials think? What will be your end?
?Have you ever considered it?"
An unknown series of questions fell into Su Shi's ears, but his expression did not change at all.
Seeing that Su Shi seemed indifferent and nonchalant, Bao Heizi became a little angry, "Su Tianyou, did you hear what I said? Did it enter your mind?"
"I heard it, Uncle Bao, don't be angry, don't be angry. Come and see what this is." Su Shi said as if he was moved.
Speaking of which, the two of them were neither related nor acquainted. It was because Su Shi was giving porridge and doing good deeds here that Bao Heizi noticed him. After they had a very happy conversation, they just changed their names.
Experiences like this are nothing at all. Are there many people in the court who are so conceited?
There are many people who do one thing in front of others but another behind their backs.
Maybe yesterday we were all calling each other brothers, eating and drinking, but today maybe the memorial to impeach you will be submitted.
After all, the positions in the court are limited, especially those important positions. Killing one is equivalent to losing one point of threat.
But Bao Heizi didn't do this. Not only that, he also sacrificed his lunch break to take the initiative to tell himself this. This is friendship.
Regardless of whether Bao Heizi did it intentionally or not, Su Shi accepted his affection at this moment. When he knew that this person cared about him, Su Shi stopped hiding it and took away his next plan.
come out.
Writing a plan was something Su Shi often did before doing something in his previous life, and it has become a habit. He wrote such a copy after he went back last night, and he is holding it in Bao Heizi's hand now.
The paper I have never seen before and the simplified small regular characters make people feel so novel.
What's especially different is the way of writing. It's not from top to bottom or right to left, but in a horizontal row, with a row left between each row, which makes it look much more organized.
"This method is unaccustomed to me." Bao Heizi sighed first and then started reading Su Shi's plan.
Although there are some simplified Chinese characters that are not understandable, in general they can still be read clearly. The above are some of Su Shi's suggestions for the refugees, or his next plans.
According to what is written above, Su Shi's porridge-giving activity lasted only three days.
Three days are enough for these refugees to recover a certain amount of physical strength.
Three days can also prevent other refugees from arriving in time after hearing the news.
After three days, Su Shi will no longer give out porridge, but will send food to them back to their hometown.
In order to reassure them, not only will each refugee be given a certain amount of food, but Su Shi will also give a certain amount of copper coins so that they will not be destitute when they return. In other words, when they return to their hometown, they are not starting from scratch.
But once they have a certain degree of self-care ability, at that time, they have to make their own choices about what to do and what to do.
To put it bluntly, Su Shi will spend a sum of money as severance pay, allowing these people to go back and forth wherever they want. They can either work in farming or do business. In this way, there is no luck in this, but people with brains can do it.
With Su Shi's help, I got a chance to get ahead and change my life.
This is also the only thing Su Shi can do at the moment. Speaking of which, it may not be of much use. But in the past, wouldn't these refugees have been living outside the capital and returned to their hometowns after farming started?
Either they join the army, but they can only become the Xiang army with the lowest combat effectiveness, or they are the kind of Xiang army who have to have their faces tattooed. Who said that they were forced to recruit into the army out of desperation? And most of the time they just use
To work for the nobles for free is, in the final analysis, just a coolie at the lowest level. This is not a sincere choice for most people.
Because they had nothing to do and had to satisfy their stomach needs, they had no choice but to become refugees. Once there was a better choice, they would not choose to leave their hometown. You know, the homesickness of the ancients was still very serious.
Even now, many people still pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots.
Now that Su Shi is not on a stable footing, this is the only thing that can help. But even so, the price he needs to pay is huge. The plan states that Su Shi needs to pay nearly 20,000 yuan for this.
.(Each refugee, Su Shi, will give two yuan of return home expenses)
In addition, three days of porridge, rice, vegetables, and meat will be enough. Combined, the total is about 40,000 guan.
Forty thousand guan, which ordinary people could not earn even if they worked hard for several lifetimes, was thrown away by Su Shi easily, and it was thrown onto the refugees he had never known before.
This kind of method of just giving without any results is naturally difficult for many people to understand. But as far as Su Shi is concerned, it is a matter of making a lot of money.
Slowly putting down the plan, Bao Heizi asked solemnly, "Brother Shi, are you not under any financial pressure? If not, I'll call the Kaifeng government. They also have special expenses for resettling refugees every year? Also,
Is it worth it?”
"Haha, Uncle Bao, don't worry. There's not much financial pressure. As for whether it's worth it, isn't money just for spending? How do you say that, oh, money is the bastard
Egg, if it’s gone, we’ll make a profit.”
"vulgar!"
After hearing Su Shi's witty words, Bao Heizi's serious look turned into a smile, which was still the same kind of satisfied smile.
"Okay, if everyone can care about the people like Tianyou, our Song Dynasty will only get stronger and stronger, and no one can defeat it." As he spoke, Bao Heizi looked at him with admiration.
He looked at Su Shi and expressed his satisfaction.
Bao Heizi was worried before that Su Shi didn't know how to advance or retreat, wouldn't think so much, and would do bad things with good intentions.
Now it seems that this boy who is younger than his own child has a very clear mind.
It's very clear what he can do and what he can't do.
This is very good. A person who only has the ability but no means will not be able to go far.
Likewise, having the means but not the ability will not get you far.
Only those who have both ability and means can truly reach high positions, and then use their abilities to strengthen the country and help the people.
Bao Heizi left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he shamelessly told Su Shi that three kilograms of Rencha was not enough for him. In the past, he always received benefits from his colleagues, but now he should give it back to them when he has the opportunity. He would give ten kilograms as a gift.
Let Rencha go to his house.
Su Shi smiled and agreed. This was because Bao Heizi did not regard himself as an outsider. Even so, Su Shi would of course maintain the relationship well. Isn't it just ten pounds of Rencha? It's hard to tell others and it's very precious.
, in Su Shi's eyes, it's really not even the tip of a feather. This chapter has been completed!
