The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 411 Little People Have Little People's Opportunities

Niu San went straight to his parents' house and left them one hundred wen as a settling allowance.

"Aye, mother, if you stay here for a while longer, I will take you all out after I gain a firm foothold over there."

Niu Decao said relievedly: "Don't worry, don't worry about the family, your mother and I are not too old to move."

Niu San comforted his younger siblings again, telling them to be obedient and not to run around.

After that, I went to Xiao'e's house, left fifty Wen, and repeated what I just said.If there is a chance in the future, I will take them all out.

The reason why I didn't give out the remaining fifty Wen was because I wanted to keep it with me for emergency use.

Early the next morning, they came to Fangximen early, and the place was already full of people.

There are people who have also successfully applied for the job, and more people come to see them off.

Bu Wen appeared on time, counting the number of people according to the roster, and there were not many of them.

After giving everyone another fifteen minutes to say goodbye to their families, they lined up and left Chang'an City.

It is very sensitive that so many people get together under the emperor's feet, but fortunately they have reported it long ago, and the city gate officials did not stop it.

When leaving the city, everyone pointed at this strange group, which made Xiao'e very ashamed and did not dare to look up.

There is no way, at least others are dressed more neatly, they are all patch upon patch, and some are unkempt like beggars.

For those who want to save face, it is indeed a very embarrassing thing to meet people.

After leaving the city, he walked all the way to the factory area.

It is naturally impossible for people who do this to take a carriage or the like, and all walk.

Hearing that it was nearly twenty miles away, many people showed embarrassment.

It's not that they are lazy and don't want to go, but that they may not be able to go there.

These people usually don't have enough to eat, so how can they have any strength.

Bu Wen didn't say a word either, he just focused on leading the crowd forward, and the others could only grit their teeth and follow after seeing this.

After all, there are too few opportunities to get out of the slums, and the [-] Wen family allowance is a huge sum of money, no one is willing to give up.

Even if you are climbing, you have to climb to the workshop.

The factory recruits people to work, not to kill people, so Bu Wen naturally won't let people crawl over.

After walking for about three or five miles, everyone was tired and hungry, and a shed appeared on an open space in front of them.There were five or six carriages parked beside them, and a dozen or so horses.

There were two young men sitting in the shed, and there were more than a dozen strong men with weapons and fierce aura around them. It was obvious at a glance that there was someone important.

Bu Wenjing led the people straight to the shed, saluted the two of them respectfully, and then sat down.

Then the people in the carriage began to get busy.

Niu San and the others stood outside the shed and looked at each other in blank dismay. What are they doing?
The manager went to rest and eat by himself, leaving us here?
No one dares to raise opinions, which is a normal thing in this day and age.

But Niu San glanced at Xiao'e whose face was turning pale, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll ask you for some food."

Xiao'e grabbed him and said: "No, there are noble people there, don't run into them."

Niu San just hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's okay, don't you believe my words? Even if you can't get anything, you can come back safely, don't worry."

...

As he said that, regardless of Xiao'e's objection, he nodded and walked towards the shed.

Before he got close to the shed, a guard glared at him fiercely and shouted, "Get out, dare to get close to this place to kill."

Niu San's legs softened, he squeezed out a few drops of water, and said quickly, "Okay, I'm leaving."

He could see that these people really dared to kill him. If they went to beg for food at this time, it would be not brave but stupid.

But before he left, he heard a voice from inside the shed: "Xu Shanying, let him come over."

"Here." Xu Shanying responded, and said to him: "Remember, follow behind me, don't get too close to the shed."

Niu San hurriedly said: "Yes, I know."

Then Xu Shanying led him into the shed, pointed to a place and said: "Stand here, answer whatever the real person asks you, don't move or talk nonsense."

"Here." Niu San stood up cautiously, bent very low, not daring to raise his head to look inside.

It was none other than Chen Jingke and Li Chengqian sitting inside.

Chen Jingke asked, "Do you have anything to do?"

Niu San swallowed nervously, and carefully replied: "If you go back to the nobleman, my wife is weak, and I'm afraid she won't be able to walk that far. Can you give me a stutter?"

Chen Jingke looked at him with great interest, and said, "I'm begging for food for your wife, won't you eat it?"

Niu San said: "I am in good health and can bear it."

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "You are quite courageous, what's your name?"

Niu San quickly replied: "The young one is called Niu San."

Chen Jingke pointed to a plate of meat pies on the table and said, "Niu San, right? Have you seen this plate of meat pies?"

Niu San raised his head and lowered it quickly, but he saw the plate of golden meatloaf in his eyes, and said, "I saw it."

Chen Jingke said: "There are food for four to five hundred people in these cars, you go and share it with everyone."

"As long as everyone eats well and no one raises their opinions, this plate of meatloaf will belong to your wife."

"If the points are not good, then you can watch others eat."

"Ah?" Niu San was dumbfounded. Did Taoist Bu come to take everyone to eat?If I knew this, I wouldn't stand up and troublesome.

Chen Jingke smiled and said, "Why, don't you dare?"

Niu San gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll do it right now... May I ask if all the food on these six cars is full?"

Chen Jingke said: "Yes, yes, you can go."

Niu San cupped his hands and backed away.

After he walked away, Li Chengqian asked: "You seem to admire him very much?"

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "I can't talk about appreciation, but he is indeed very courageous and responsible. If he is a talented person, it doesn't matter if you give him a chance."

Li Chengqian said disapprovingly: "What kind of talents can be produced in the slums."

Chen Jingke said: "Although the probability of a poor family giving birth to a noble son is very low, it is not impossible. What if it happens."

"Selecting one person from among these people to focus on training can also set an example for others and inspire their fighting spirit."

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "That is indeed the truth."

On the other side, Niu San first went to the cars to have a look. The three cars were filled with white bread wrapped in bedding and steaming.

...

Opening a corner, the aroma was tangy, making his stomach growl.

But seeing these buns, he is more confident about the future.

At this time, they are still willing to give them white bread, which shows that the other party is indeed very sincere.

Swallowing, put the quilt back on.I went to look at the other three carriages and cooked rice soup.

It's just that there is very little rice and the soup is very thin.

Niu San didn't think that the other party was being stingy, and he gave him all the white bread, so he wouldn't save a little rice.

There is only one possibility, this soup is for everyone to quench their thirst.

After reading it once, he had an estimate of the amount of food and knew how to distribute it.

But he was not in a hurry, but came to the crowd and called his brothers aside.

"Brothers, there is an opportunity to get ahead right now, are you willing to give it a try?"

Ding Shixi hesitated and said, "Tell me what's going on first? Didn't you just mention your wife begging for food? What's going on now?"

Niu San smiled and said: "Don't worry, listen to me first. There are two nobles sitting under the shed. If I guess correctly, one of them is Chen Zhenren from Zixiao Temple."

"Oh!

"The crowd couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice.

Zixiao Guansun Immortal and his disciple Chen Zhenren are household names in Chang'an.

What's more, in this recruitment, the name of Chen Zhenzhen was called, and they were too familiar with it.

For them, Chen Jingke is already a great big shot, but they didn't expect to meet him here.

The most important thing is that Niu San actually struck up a conversation with the other party.

Qiu Hui said excitedly: "Sanlang, tell me quickly, Master Chen just said something to you."

Niu San said: "I was just going to tell you about this matter. Did you see those cars? They were all filled with food. Zhenren Chen asked me to share the food with everyone."

"Eat?" Someone couldn't help exclaiming.

However, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake and quickly covered his mouth.

Many people's stomachs growled reflexively.

Ding Shiyi grasped the point, and said in surprise: "Really Chen asked you to share the food with everyone?"

Niu San said: "Yes, Master Chen saw that I was brave, so he gave me this opportunity. If I can distribute the food fairly to everyone, I will have the opportunity to be reused."

Ding Shixi said happily: "That's great. If Sanlang is reused, life for us old brothers will be much easier."

Niu San said solemnly: "Everyone knows that I am Niu San, and I am definitely not the kind of person who forgets righteousness for profit. If I can get ahead, the benefits of my brothers will be indispensable."

Everyone said: "We believe in Sanlang."

Only then did Niu San say: "But I can't divide the food well by myself. We need everyone's help. I believe that with our brother's ability, we can pass the assessment of Zhenren Chen."

Qiu Hui said: "Then what are you waiting for, just tell Sanlang what to do, we will all obey you."

Others also said, "Yes, we all listen to you."

Niu San said gratefully: "Thank you brothers for your trust, I swear to God that I will not let you down."

...

Then he told everyone about his plan, and they all nodded.

Soon they discussed the countermeasures, and then came to the front of the crowd together.

Ten young and strong standing together, just the momentum is enough to calm most people.

Although there are more than 400 young and strong people on the opposite side, these people are not in the same mind, no different from more than 400 sheep.

So everyone looked at them in puzzlement, not knowing what they wanted to do.

Ding Shiyi shouted loudly: "Don't talk, Sanlang has something to tell everyone."

The crowd gradually quieted down.

Niu San took a step forward and said: "You all saw it just now, I went to the shed and met some nobles."

"These cars are the food prepared by the nobleman, let me share it with everyone."

"Eat?" The crowd became noisy, and everyone looked at the cars excitedly, discussing a lot.

Niu San winked at the others, only to hear the other nine people shouting in unison: "Quiet, quiet, quiet..."

Although there were only nine of them, the sound of shouting together overwhelmed the other side, and the crowd fell silent again.

Only then did Niu San continue: "Your Honor entrusted me with the job of distributing the food, that is to say, I will share the food with everyone. Whoever is talking will not be given food."

There were still sporadic voices, but now it was completely quiet.

Niu San was very satisfied, and said: "In order to prevent crowding, and to allow everyone to eat food fairly, I made a few regulations."

"Wait a while and line up to get the food. If anyone is disobedient and runs around and jumps in the queue, he won't have food."

"Everyone can only get food once. If someone gets too much food, if he is found to share food later, it will not be given to him."

"If someone reports someone who has received more food, once it is confirmed, he will be rewarded with an extra meal. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Scattered people in the crowd responded.

Niu San continued: "In order to ensure fairness, my brothers, my wife and I will have dinner last. Everyone can monitor and see if I mean what I say."

Everyone in the crowd looked at them in surprise, and many people who were originally dissatisfied with him also calmed down.

Niu San hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and asked the seven brothers to supervise everyone queuing up.

He took Ding Shiyi there to distribute the buns, and he arranged for Xiao'e to sit on the side to rest.

In fact, as long as everyone queues up to receive the food, the food is easy to share. The difficulty lies in how to get so many people to line up obediently.

He succeeded in doing this by relying on the power of the fox and the help of these brothers.

The rest of the buns become simple.

He estimated that the buns are more than enough for one person or two.

To be on the safe side, he decided to have two for each of them, and we'll talk about the rest later.

Seeing the snow-white buns, Ding Shili's mouth watered, but he resisted not eating, and shared them with Ding San.

People in the slums have never seen such a white bun, and they all exclaimed.

As soon as Baozi got his hands on it, he couldn't help but put his head down and agreed. Niu San and Ding Shiyi's stomach growls became louder.

In fact, the number of these steamed stuffed buns was indeed calculated. It was exactly 28, and there were [-] left over for each person.

The soup is even better divided, each person has a bowl, and anyone else who is thirsty can come and drink.

After eating white bread, no one would care about a bowl of watery rice soup.

After everyone had eaten and drank well, he wrapped the remaining buns with a piece of cloth in the carriage, carried the money to the shed, and said:
"Returning to the real person, the food has been divided. Here are the remaining 28 buns."

"Papa papa." Chen Jingke applauded: "Okay, well done, I will reward you with the remaining buns. There is also this plate of meatloaf, take it to your wife."

Bu Wen took out the plate with a wink and handed it to Niu San.

After Niu San took it, he said respectfully, "Thank you, Daoist Master, for the reward."

Chen Jingke ignored him, and said to Li Chengqian: "Let's go, I heard that Erlang's loom has made great progress, let's go and have a look."

Li Chengqian got up and said, "Let's go, I'll also see what surprise Qingque brought us this time."

The two went outside the shed under the protection of many guards.

After getting on the horse, Chen Jingke said to Niu San who was still waiting respectfully: "You are good, do a good job."

After speaking, he lightly tapped the horse's belly with both feet, and galloped away.
