The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 95 Relief Alley ([-]rd watch)

With Jingtuan's current combat power, he had to be a little bit afraid.

"Su Tang, don't take off this bun, I have to leave first." Saying that, he jumped out of the window and disappeared without a trace.

"Seeing that you are still here." Yingyue ran to the window and looked at the street outside, and said to Su Tang very proudly, "Master, let me help you comb your hair again."

Su Tang looked at himself in the mirror, "Forget it, with sideburns, it's not considered a woman's bun, it's all combed, so that's it."

Su Tang himself didn't care much about these things, so there was no need to dismantle them and toss them again.

"This, isn't it good?" Yingyue said in a dilemma.

"There are still important things to do today." Su Tang looked at the sky outside, the sun had already risen very high.

After Su Tang had some breakfast, he went to the government office. Seeing that it was Su Tang, Lin Qing retreated the people around, and asked Wang Dong and Jing Tuan to stand outside and watch their conversation so that no one who cared about them could overhear their conversation.

Seeing Su Tang's bun today, Lin Qing opened his mouth and didn't ask any more questions. It's not his business to ask about the lifelong affairs of the eldest daughter of the emperor.

"What about the disabled beggars in the city?" He had already heard about the beggars and Feng's village, so he asked Su Tang directly.

"Establish an almshouse in the city to house disabled beggars, orphans, and those who have nowhere to go, so that they can have a place to live." Su Tang said, "The empty alleys near the city wall can be vacated. , the yard can be refurbished, and they can take care of each other when they live together."

"Today we searched every nook and cranny in the city. Those beggars are now locked in prisons and are being interrogated one by one. We plan to find out those leaders first. There are as many as 1000 beggars in total. Do we all raise them like this?" Lin Qing asked, he couldn't just raise them like this for a lifetime.

"They will definitely not be allowed to lie down and eat rice all day long. Those who have hands will be taught manual work, and those who have no hands will be given some work within their ability. And those children who can go to school will be sent to school. , I can always find a way out in the future, unless those are so serious that they really can’t support themselves, it’s okay to send someone to take care of them.”

"But those who can support themselves and want to do nothing, don't get used to them, let them go where they should, but in the future, no beggar will be allowed in Yanyang City."

Doumi Ensheng Mi Qiu, give them a place to settle down when they are in trouble, they will naturally be grateful to you.

But if they have been supporting them for no reason, when they take relief as a matter of course, they will not think about relying on their own labor to survive.

If you stop the relief midway due to some reasons, not only will they not feel a little grateful, but they will even hold a grudge against you.

If so, it is better not to give them this opportunity from the beginning.

"Okay, then do as the village master said." Lin Qing also understood the reason for this.

Su Tang took out 1 taels of silver bill and handed it to Lin Qing, "This is charity money for the poor house, you take it first."

"No, tax and potato sales, the government accountant has saved a lot of money, enough." Lin Qing quickly refused.

"Take it, one yard is worth one yard." The main reason is that if the 1 taels of charity money is not given out, the system will not build roads for her.

After Su Tang said this, he must have had his own plans in mind, and it was hard for Lin Qing to shirk.

"There are two more things you need to do next." Su Tang said.

"The village master just say it."

"The first thing is to recruit soldiers in the city to form a guard, and then use them."

Lin Qing's heart tightened, "It's a felony to station troops without permission."

"It's not considered a garrison, but it's just sending them to guard the yard." Su Tang explained, "The second thing is, I want to burn a batch of green bricks on the other side of the Yanyun River, and then use these green bricks to build a two-acre land. yard, and then I will move the faience and paper manufacturing to the other side of the river and scale it up.”

"There are few people in Fufeng Village, and there are not a few usable people to spare now. This job can only be entrusted to you, and it happens to provide more money-making jobs for the people in the city." Su Tang took out a piece of paper and put it in the forest. In front of Qingqing, "This is the method of making blue bricks. You can burn them according to the above."

The firing of blue bricks is not difficult. You only need to take clay, that is, yellow mud, and use molds to make bricks, dry them in the shade, and then put them in a brick kiln for more than ten days. Let it cool out of the kiln.

Su Tang also drew the appearance and general structure of the brick kiln on it.

Although there is no way to make cement in this era, it is also very good to be able to build a house with green bricks.

Lin Qing worked very quickly, and within a few days, he repaired the empty alley of a house next to the south wall that seemed to be intact.

Those beggars were also interrogated one by one, and the vicious leader was found out and dealt with, and the victimized beggars were placed in the empty alley, and this alley was named Relief Alley.

But anyone who can't live happily on their own can go to Relief Lane to apply for relief, and someone will provide them with food and accommodation, and help them find a job that can support them.

After Su Tang learned that the beggars had settled down, he came over to check on the situation.

The beggars who used to be dirty and smelly are now given a change of coarse cloth clothes, and the old dirt on their bodies has been washed away, and their licorice-like hair is neatly tied up with wooden branches.

Apart from missing arms and legs, being thin and dry due to long-term malnutrition, and their faces were sallow, they no longer looked like beggars who used to appear in the streets and alleys.

The lifeless look on their faces was also filled with the smiles of the survivors after the catastrophe.

"Mrs. Su, I am the steward of Jiji Lane. My name is Liu Fu. I heard that you paid for the establishment of Jiji Lane. I sincerely thank you for them. You saved their lives." A forty A couple of men saw her approaching.

"... What madam! My young lady hasn't left the cabinet yet." Yingyue corrected her breathlessly.

Looking at their reactions, Su Tang felt that in the future, she really couldn't just wear her hair in a bun and let it hang around. They are used to distinguishing whether a woman is married or not based on her hairstyle.

After hearing Yingyue's words, Liu Fu quickly changed his words, "It's my blindness, Miss Su, don't mind."

"Did Lin Qing send you here?" Su Tang looked at him, looking upright and quite upright.

To be honest, the steward of Jiji Lane is a fat job. If he fiddles with the allocated money, he can make a lot of money, and there is nowhere to check.

For example, people who live here are given free food and food. If he reports that he bought ten shi of food, he will only give nine shi to the relief people. Can't find anything.
