Chapter 90 Reaching Consensus
The dozen or so people sitting around were all shocked.
It is normal for rich people to build bridges and pave roads, give food and clothing, and adopt a few orphans.
Not only can you gain a reputation as a charitable person, but you can also feel at ease.
But everyone has never heard of it.
Who adopts tens of thousands of orphans at one time?
Running a school?
That’s ok too.
There are ethnic schools in villages and towns, and county schools sponsored by teachers in the county.
Further up, there are also many public and private colleges at the state level.
Usually there are only a few dozen students, or at most a few hundred people, even if the scale is large.
As for the Imperial College in the capital, in its heyday, I heard there were thousands of people studying there.
But that is the highest university in the country.
It is to train officials for the Great Zhou Dynasty. How small is it?
Who do you think you are, Shen Lin?
A small village oversees four villages and has a population of just over 3,000.
But you want to open a school for tens of thousands of people?
There are over 10,000 people, and the place is densely packed.
Oh my God, Brother Lin is probably talking nonsense.
Liu Chuer stretched out her little hand worriedly and squeezed Shen Lin's arm.
"Ms. sir, are you... tired?"
"How about? I'll boil some water for you and take a bath? You... rest early?"
Uh-huh!
Everyone nodded in unison.
A trace of concern flashed across the red lady's big eyes.
The pretty boy worries about the food, clothing and training of so many people all day long.
It's really too tiring.
Alas, it's not easy for him...
You have to be nicer to him from now on.
Shen Lin looked around at everyone and shrugged.
"You guys, it's really..."
"Young Master is not confused, he is awake."
"If I hadn't caught more than 100,000 yuan in food and grass today, I certainly wouldn't have had this idea."
"A storm is coming, and everyone is aware of it."
"Even if you can't finish all the food, are you willing to sell it?"
"Lao Qi, tell me."
This time, the total value of the robbery in Jiangbei alone was no less than 50,000 taels of silver.
Wu Qi divided it half.
Exchange refined iron with Zhuang Mingyang for food.
It was also Wu Qi who crossed the line and built the bridge.
But this guy has always been generous and unwilling to ask for a penny more.
Shen Lin simply gave him 30,000 tons of grain and temporarily stored it in Shenjiabao.
The Lin family's horses and fodder were also equivalent to 15,000 tons of grain.
They themselves also had some money lying around.
Naturally, I don't want to charge too much money.
Of course, everyone in Shenjiabao who attacked also received a lot of rewards.
Five thousand loads of grain were distributed again.
For the time being, it is impossible for everyone to take all these shares.
In the Shenjiabao of Nuoda, the ordinary rooms are filled with grain bags.
Those less valuable fodder and miscellaneous grains are still piled in the open air.
However, it actually belongs to Shen Lin.
There are only more than 70,000 dans of refined grains and 30,000 dans of miscellaneous grains and fodder.
Wu Qiwan said in confusion.
"Brother Lin, you need to build a moisture-proof grain warehouse so that our wheat will not go bad after several years."
"Sell it? We can't bear it!"
"When you are hungry, how can money be worth more than food?"
Mrs. Lin opposite also sighed.
"In my early years, I was also hungry."
"In the most difficult time, I couldn't buy anything to eat with my money."
"So, Brother Lin is generous this time and takes in our whole family."
"If you allocate such a large share, my family will definitely have food stored in it!"
"However, since all the man slaves are uniformly distributed by the Shen family, how much can our family eat?"
"Brother Lin, I still need it, so feel free to use it."
Shen Lin cupped his hands in front of the old lady.
"Old lady benevolent and righteous!"
"Just stay in peace."
"From now on, we will not speak the same language as one family."
"Everyone, it's obvious that everyone is reluctant to sell grain, right?"
Now, everyone is even more confused.
Shenjiabao counts the miners who are guaranteed to eat.
It only supports seven or eight hundred people.
With so much food, it's really going to get moldy.
Liu Chuer and Shen Lin's parents left early, and they had no brothers or sisters at home.
He's an orphan, maybe.
"Ms. sir, we have enough food."
"Shenjiabao is also big enough and will definitely need more manpower in the future."
"But you adopt tens of thousands of orphans at one time."
"We still need to run a school, this... is very impractical!"
Wu Qi shook his big head.
"It's really not practical."
"Right now, despite the turmoil, people everywhere are frightened."
"But there are not many displaced people."
"Luoyang Mountain is too far away from us."
Shen Lin asked back: "You're talking about now, what about a few months from now? What about next year?"
"Everything that is forewarned will be established; anything that is not forewarned will be ruined."
"Now, with sufficient manpower, the wall expansion can be completed in just one month."
"We need to prepare in advance!"
"I didn't say anything. I'm going to recruit orphans now."
Did it take a long time?
You mean after the war?
Then didn't you tell me earlier?
We were so scared that we were nervous for a long time.
When bandits attack, they will take a large number of hungry people as their vanguard.
Use human lives to fill up the city defenses everywhere.
People in this era are considered adults when they are fourteen or fifteen years old.
Those with good family conditions tend to get married and have children.
Unlike the guards like Shen Jiabao.
There are many people who are almost 20 years old and have yet to talk about a wife.
A few months ago, everyone was extremely poor, how could they have the money to do something like this?
Now that everyone’s pockets are bulging, they don’t have time for the time being!
It's conceivable.
The thieves and bandits will abandon those useless old and weak people.
An old man in his seventies or eighty, a child waiting to be fed.
They are the first ones who cannot survive.
Next, those who died fastest were the hungry people who were carried away to fight.
In the end, he managed to survive.
Instead, it's the half-teen-year-old kids.
Even thieves and bandits don't like these dolls.
I am a half-grown boy and I am a poor man.
They are clever and can run fast.
Hide around like wild dogs.
You can also get some grass roots and bark to satisfy your hunger.
Younger children are not so lucky.
They either starved to death or were caught, cooked and eaten.
They run slowly.
This is no exaggeration.
Some people are so hungry that they can't do anything.
Changing children to eat is a common occurrence in history books.
Shen Lin talked eloquently and confessed his thoughts to everyone.
His ideal is to do his best.
If you can save someone, you will never stand idly by.
Shen Lin pointed at the red lady and smiled.
"Don't you girl want to lead an army?"
"Don't even think about male soldiers, we are here."
"Lao Liang picked some young girls and gave them to her."
"By the way, Wushuang, you can ask the Lin family about those athletic women who have lost their loved ones."
"The number of female soldiers is tentatively set at 100."
"You can practice right away."
"But during the war, your female soldiers are mainly responsible for taking in orphans."
The red lady knows it well.
There are currently only 300 servants in Shenjiabao.
Liang Zizhong, Chen Yun and Chen Feng scored one point.
Where is her share?
One hundred female soldiers would be fine too.
Who says women are inferior to men?
The girl was secretly happy.
But the conditions that should be mentioned cannot be less.
"Yes, but you have to promise me that the equipment must be treated equally."
Shen Lin nodded.
"Can!"
The red lady added: "There are so many horses now that it is not a big deal to abandon the horses."
"There are 1,200 useful war horses."
"I want two hundred. An ordinary war horse will be fine."
