Lin Jing was stunned when he overheard a few gangsters chatting, and then burst into laughter. He did not expect that he would be so ruthless as to kill all the gangsters, and even drive away some of the scoundrels in the city.
The sword and flesh were also shocked, but then again, the Lin family chopped down seven or eight young people at once, and the government did not dare to do anything to the Lin family. Anyone with a little bit of brains who does not want to die knows that they must not be on the Lin family's territory.
make trouble.
Stopping, Lin Jingzhi suddenly felt that he could feel relieved for the time being. Of course, he couldn't be too careless, because from the words of these ruffians, he learned that the government seemed to want to secretly attack the Lin family.
As expected, the news of the emperor's death reached Luo City the next day. Since then, Luo City has imposed a curfew, and three feet of white damask must be hung in front of every door. The same goes for government offices. After passing by the snow-white damask
Embellished with the sorrow and sorrow of the refugees, the whole city looked sad.
Because of the curfew, in the evening, officers and soldiers would take to the streets with weapons to drive away the victims, clear them all out of the city, and let them sleep in the woods and open spaces outside the city. This move caused the refugees to complain against the government.
However, since the Lin family opened their tents to provide porridge, the government and many wealthy and aristocratic families have also successively provided aid to the refugees, giving them something to eat. Therefore, they were dissatisfied, and no one dared to stand up and openly confront the officers and soldiers.
This is what simple people are like. As long as there are people who stutter and people don't starve to death, they will accept it.
This move by the government is definitely a good thing for the Lin family. Autumn has arrived and the weather is getting colder. Although the winter here in Luo City is not freezing to death, people will suffer if they sleep outside the house every day, eat in the wind and expose themselves.
However, especially the elderly and children are more likely to get sick, so in the next few days, more and more refugees lined up in front of Jisheng Hall.
Jishengtang has cooperated with the Lin family, so after the refugees knew that the Lin family helped them pay for half of the medicine, they became even more grateful to the Lin family. They would spread the praises with their relatives and friends when they returned, which raised the level of kindness of the Lin family to another level.
Time passed so fast. In the blink of an eye, Lin Jingzhi had already brought back the custom-made shovels to his house yesterday, and the number of modified handcarts was almost enough. The number of refugees in Luo City now exceeds 80,000, and is still growing rapidly.
Lin Jingzhi had set a quota for giving porridge two days ago, which was no longer sufficient. Therefore, although many wealthy businessmen in Luo City opened their tents to give porridge to the victims, many people could only do so now.
Eat half full.
The reason why Lin Jingzhi did this is very simple. He wanted the refugees to understand that there is no free lunch in the world, and mobilizing a group of refugees with hungry stomachs to dig canals is far better than mobilizing a group of refugees who can eat for free every day.
It is much easier for the common people.
At noon, in the hall of Lin Mansion.
"Grandma, the number of refugees has been increasing in recent days. Many people are already hungry. My grandson feels that the time is almost up. Tomorrow we can show off and mobilize them to dig canals and open up wasteland outside the city." Lin
Jingzhi sat on the chair and discussed with Mrs. Lin.
"Well, I also feel that the time has come. Otherwise, the victims will be starved and prone to trouble, and they will be forced to leave and go to other places to make a living. This will be very detrimental to the Lin family." Old Mrs. Lin
Jun closed his eyes and softly agreed, while Liu Xiang stood behind the chair and gently rubbed her shoulders.
If some refugees are really forced to leave, these refugees will definitely tell people on the way that they don't have enough food to eat in Los Angeles, thus affecting more refugees to come here.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Jingzhi feels that he can encourage the refugees to open up wasteland and dig rivers tomorrow.
"What grandma said is true. However, although my grandson has gone out to mingle with the refugees every day these days, and has met many respected elderly people in his original village, he still has no idea whether he can encourage them to help the Lin family open up wasteland.
Too much confidence.”
There were more than 80,000 people standing together in a dense darkness. Just thinking about standing in front of them and speaking loudly made Lin Jingzhi very nervous.
"If they are really unwilling, then the Lin family will stop helping refugees!" Mrs. Lin's eyes suddenly opened, her gaze as sharp as a knife. Because she was leaning up, Liu Xiang happened to see this scene, and Liu Xiang was frightened.
He shuddered and looked away.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Liuxiang and closed her eyelids again.
Hearing Mrs. Lin's suggestion, Lin Jingzhi frowned. Seventy or eighty percent of the refugees in Luo City now rely on the Lin family's support to survive. If the Lin family really stops supplying gruel and steamed buns,
, it is estimated that many refugees will starve to death, but although he could not bear it in his heart, he did not object in the end.
The Lin family can do good deeds, but it must not be without standards. You help me dig the canal and I will provide you with food. This is considered a fair deal. If the refugees do not agree, then the Lin family does not have the obligation to help them anymore.
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario, and if this thing really doesn't work out, the Lin family will have spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy a piece of wasteland, and they will suffer a huge loss.
"Grandma, my grandson is thinking, after the news gets out tomorrow, we will open a tent in the wasteland outside the city to provide porridge. After receiving the food, you have to work with a shovel. In this way, even if there will be many people who resist at first,
, but in a few days, if they don’t have enough to eat, they will obediently come to the door to serve my Lin family.”
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Lin narrowed her eyes slightly and laughed, "Okay, this is a good idea. The Lin family will set up a tent to serve porridge in the wasteland. If you are willing to work, you will be given food. If you are not willing to work, you will be pulled down.
!Starve to death some of them who are just lazy and unscrupulous people."
"In addition, you should bring more guards to prevent those unruly people from taking the lead in making noises. You should also pay more attention to your own safety." After thinking about it, Mrs. Lin added another sentence.
When Lin Jingzhi heard the last sentence, he also laughed, and by the way, he repeated what he heard from some ruffians near the south gate of the city a few days ago.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin finally felt relieved. Since she had killed those bandits and frightened all the gangsters in the city, this matter would definitely spread among the refugees. She estimated that
Well, there shouldn't be anyone so stupid and bold as to dare to cause trouble in front of Lin's house.
Because she was busy refining pills these days, Tang Yuxiang got up very early in the morning. Basically, after Lin Jingzhi washed her hands and left, she would get up and get dressed. The more refugees there are, the more medicines are needed. Although some people know that
Dong, the right-hand man, was on hand to help, but she, the master, was so busy after breakfast today that she didn't even have time to sit down and take a sip of water.
She finally got some free time and leaned against the threshold to rest for a while. However, she saw that Zhidong was pouting and muttering something in a low voice while he was busy working. Two days ago, she had
Knowing that something was wrong with Dong, he waved to her to come closer.
"Zhidong, what's wrong with you these days? Are you worried?"
"No...no." Zhidong's eyes flashed with panic, and he stammered in denial.
Tang Yuxiang glared at her angrily and said, "It's all written on your face whether you have something or not. Tell me, is there something happening to you that you still have to hide from me?"
"No, Second Grandma, actually, I'm not sure about this yet!" Zhidong quickly replied.
