The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 76
The magistrate of the county: "You are all rich households in Kuaiji, with energy. The heavy rains in the past few days have affected thousands of people. There is a serious shortage of silver in the treasury. I hope everyone has money to contribute money and strength. Even if it is a bowl of gruel , can also survive.”

"Xianzun, you can speak directly."

At this time, the master said, "I roughly calculated that there are more than 5000 victims in total, and they need [-] taels of money to build dozens of thatched huts, which can keep out the wind and rain without freezing to death. It can also be a black bun every day, and the victims can survive."

5000 taels of silver.

There are more than 30 merchants here.

One person needs to share more than a hundred taels.

The part that is willing to give, the part that is not willing to give.

"Xianzun, you have a kind heart. Okay, my Yang family is willing to bear 150 taels of silver."

"Ge's silk and satin village, also 150 taels."

"My Zhou family paid 200 taels of silver."

More than half of the people are willing to pay.

At least he can leave a good impression on the county magistrate.

People who do business, do business in Kuaiji, success or failure is a word from the county magistrate
Runtu: "I will donate 300 taels of silver, and I will open a porridge shed, where I will serve porridge every day."

Calculated on the basis of 500 people.

A person can drink porridge made from three taels of rice a day.One catty for three people is about two or three taels of silver a day.

According to 1000 people, it is almost five taels of silver.

The more people there are, the faster it will be consumed.

Runtu: "When there is a flood in this season, the big pharmacy will donate another thousand copies of Banlangen, and the Zhang family, which is built by the victims, will also share the next part."

These things have no effect on him.

Rice and trees can be grown anytime and anywhere.

The magistrate also wants to make some political achievements.

He's in his mid-30s now and might be able to move up another liter.

Zhang Runtu went to the county magistrate.

"Runtu, you really want to build a porridge shed. The daily consumption is not low. It costs several taels of silver, or even more than a dozen taels."

He was afraid that Runtu would just agree with him in a sudden fever.

"I'm also a member of Kuaiji, and I'm just making a small effort. The county lord, I've thought about it. With so many people, even giving porridge every day is not the same thing. It's best to use work as a substitute for relief."

"Relief for work?"

"Relief by work has been proposed. It is better than relief by organizing the victims to work and giving them income. For example, asking the victims to build roads, build bridges and build houses. Motivate the victims to be self-reliant and work hard Spirit. Get rid of the negative consciousness of disaster victims waiting, relying and waiting.”

The principle of work-for-relief is very simple, which is to let the victims do things in exchange for money and goods.

But the current Kuaiji does not have so many posts at all.

Many people were affected by the disaster and could not afford to eat.

Runtu: "Master Xian, I can have a hundred of these disaster victims."

"You want so many people, even if the pharmacy can make money, it won't need so many people."

Runtu: "I want to hold a group training to protect myself. Last time, a bandit leader named Wang from a hundred miles away came to my house and kidnapped my family. I offended this Wang, His people will definitely not let me just let it go. I want a hundred disaster victims to do things for me. First, I have solved the problems of a small number of disaster victims. Second, I want to train them. If the bandits come again in the future If there are so many disaster victims, merchants can claim some of them back.”

Basically, few are willing to bring it back.

There are also children and daughters on the side of the road. If you don't want money, someone will ask for it.

Seeing the kind that only costs one tael of silver, no one is willing to buy one and take it home.

Runtu wants people.

Someone with a gun in hand, bandits or whatever won't come again.

The regiment training is actually the militia, and the militia of later generations is the reserve force.

But the current militia is temporary, under the jurisdiction of local forces, and has little relationship with the imperial court. There is no military salary, and whoever recruits is responsible for paying the money.

There are a lot of team training.

There are basically none that can scale up, and most of them die without a problem.

The county magistrate agreed.

Thousands of disaster victims, this is still in the city, and there may be more than outside the city.

Runtu was able to go to more than 100 people, which also relieved a lot of pressure.

Start the porridge.

Runtu piled all the rice in the warehouse.

All the guys are dealing with the victims first for the time being.

One by one began to move the rice.

Prepare the wood, cut the wood and start to build the shed.

There are many people here.

More than 1000.

The guys from the big pharmacy, and those from the tickets all came over.

"My master will cook this porridge in a little while. With so many people, I don't know if the porridge made today is enough."

Runtu: "Don't save rice, if you don't have enough, go get it."

Runtu has no shortage of rice now, "Lao Qi, look at the people here, choose some younger and in good health, and write them down. See if anyone wants to stay. There is not much money, you can Live life. Call down when you meet the right one.”

"Boss, how many people do you need?"

Runtu: "Follow the order of 100 people first. The business needs to be bigger."

There are not many suitable people.

There are more than 1000 people, and women will account for half of them.

There are only seven or eight hundred left.

The elderly and children take up more than half.

In fact, there may be only two or three hundred people of the right age.

Then choose one hundred out of the two or three hundred who are in better health.

Runtu: "Ergou, it's wrong for you to cook porridge on fire. When burning firewood, you have to push it aside, and you can't pile all the firewood together. There will be no fire, and it will all be smoke."

After a while, the first pot of porridge was almost ready.

The aroma came out.

Immediately began to line up.

For the time being, only Runtu's family has set up a porridge shed.

The porridge shed is a bottomless pit.

Who knows how many victims there are.

There are also disaster victims from outside the city coming to the city.

They can still accept a one-time payment of one hundred taels of silver.

A few taels of silver or even a dozen taels of silver every day.

I don't know when it will end, so I can't accept it.

The victims who lined up began to eat a mouthful of hot porridge.

"smell good."

Gobble it up when you drink it.

It seems that I have never had such delicious porridge.

This is a product in the space, not only the taste is better, but also better for the body.

The disaster victims praised it one after another.

Thinking about why it is so fragrant, maybe I am too hungry.

If you are starving, as long as you can eat, you will eat very delicious.

"Where is this Zhang Juntu holy? Porridge? I have hoarded so much grain. The rice I hoarded a few months ago was three taels of silver for a stone. Now it is five taels of silver, and there are still more, and it can even reach six taels or seven taels. Even eight taels. He gives porridge, what about my rice."

He looked at Runtu very dissatisfied.

Thinking about Kuaiji, it may be difficult to sell.But it can be sold elsewhere.
