Chapter 1302 Famine and Natural Disaster 461

They give people the feeling that anything can be achieved if they make some noise.

Isn't this another kind of tyranny, and the kind of tyranny and rogue who is incompetent and will not give up until he achieves his goal?

People can be strong, but they must stand on the basis of reason.

It's okay to want something, no one says it's not okay; however, you have to do it in the right way. Things obtained by tricks are ultimately empty, and your heart will feel empty, but it's just this guilty feeling that you may or may not care about.

"I will remember what you said and will definitely pass it on. They will come to work in the workshop honestly and dutifully and will not cause unnecessary trouble to the workshop." Butler Luo could hear her impatience with such people and hurriedly made a promise.

Mingyi nodded. "That's it. You should first count the total number of people and find out the two hundred people who are really struggling and have difficulty making a living."

"Yes, I will do it right away. I will take my leave now."

Butler Luo bowed and left.

Mingyi sat opposite her teacher, looking gloomy.

Fan Qingzhi said: "Don't worry, things need to be done step by step. The old problems accumulated over the years cannot be solved in a short time. If we can solve the problem of 200 people now, we can solve the problem of 2,000 people, or even tens of thousands of people in the future. What you and Chaosheng need is time."

"Teacher, I'm not too worried about what's happening right now." She said bluntly in front of the teacher, "I'm sad that no one has solved the problem of the disabled soldiers for many years. Anyone with eyes can see the problem, but no one cares."

This was the real reason why she was suffering.

In ancient times, conscription was compulsory. These people were unwilling at first, but once they arrived at the barracks, they would take it seriously in order to survive. When they stayed in the barracks for a long time, it was impossible for them not to be influenced by the comrades in the barracks.

Once they develop feelings for each other, they develop a sense of comradeship; influenced by their military predecessors, they will inevitably develop a sense of patriotism, and go from being reluctant to join the army to willingly defending their country.

They did everything they could and took responsibility for the safety of the country and their families; in the end, they were unable to guarantee their own living problems after retiring from the army due to disability. That would have been fine, but no one, whether it was the imperial court or the county government, cared about such a big problem.

They were all like blind men, she felt sorry for them.

  Fan Qingzhi: I was touched by the connotation~

"Not only did they not notice it, I didn't notice it either, right?"

Mingyi then looked up at the person who was speaking. Although the old man had a blank expression on his face, she could see that he seemed a little aggrieved.

"The aristocratic families have developed a way of thinking over the years. Only a very small number of them can pay attention to the real situation of the common people. As for the others who don't pay attention to the common people, they were born into aristocratic families and naturally think they are superior to others. With the protection of their families, they can guarantee that they will have enough food and clothing even if they do nothing in their lives. They have never lived in the market, and all they can see is the small piece of land under their feet. It is understandable that they can't see the suffering of the common people."

"I am not saying that what they did was right. It is just that their vision and knowledge only go so far and they cannot see anything else. As for the court officials, you should know that most of the court officials are hereditary or recommended by their families."

“Can we expect officials elected under this system to look down?”

Mingyi shook his head. "I understand what you said, teacher. But the suffering of the people and the hardships of the soldiers are always forgotten by those high and mighty people. It's hard not to feel sad."

"You are only ten years old, but your concern for the country and the people is much greater than that of my teacher." Isn't this a self-deprecating remark?

Fan Qingzhi had never seen the hard work of the soldiers before, and the reason why civil officials looked down on each other and military officials. Civil officials thought that military officials were rude and reckless, and a disgrace to civility; military officials thought that civil officials were pedantic, hypocritical, and did not get things done.

He had been through this for many years, and he had never seen it so clearly as he did now. In fact, it didn't matter if they were civil or military officials. As long as they served the country, they were all good officials. Why should they look down on each other? Why should they keep fighting?

Unfortunately, it was clear that the Dayi Dynasty was doomed to perish.

The only thing to be thankful for is that among his students there is a descendant of a king, a prince, a general or a minister. With his broad mind, if he one day rules the world, life will be much better for the people.

"Teacher, I am not worried about the country and the people, but I can see what is in front of me; I understand the difficulties of the soldiers. You have done enough for the people over the years. I don't have much now, and I can only talk about doing good for the people. Teacher, you are the one who truly cares about the people and takes action. You are the one who deserves admiration." Mingyi's face was full of sincerity.

Fan Qingzhi sneered, "I don't deserve these comments. The future depends on you and Chaosheng. The future belongs to you young people. I hope that when I am still alive, I can see peace in the world one day."

"Yes, teacher."

Mingyi seemed to be making a promise, but only she herself understood that the world must be at peace; if the mission failed, her trip would be in vain, and she would also be responsible for the destruction of the entire world.

Even though she is full of merits and is not afraid of the consequences of the world's destruction, she is unwilling to bear this consequence unless it is absolutely necessary.

  So what if he is a great saint?

So what if Heaven can’t do anything about it?

Practitioners not only cultivate their body and soul, but also their mind; let’s find out how inner demons come about.

Tongtian entered this world for her and was willing to lose all his memories to follow her. How could she bear to let him share the cause and effect?

It took Butler Luo two days to submit a list of disabled retired soldiers in Fucheng.

The list is divided into three parts.

The first one is a list of retired soldiers who can survive at home and are still being cared for by their families.

The second list is a list of people whose lives at home are not too good, but whose families are not forcing them to fail.

The third list is a list of soldiers who were forced to die because of their unkind relatives; there are quite a lot of people on the list, accounting for three-fifths of the three lists, and the number is so large that there are more than a thousand people.

Let’s not talk about how many such soldiers there are in the entire Northwest. Just in Fucheng, there are more than 7,800 soldiers who retired with injuries or disabilities; more than 2,000 people cannot make a living, and if you include the wives and children of more than 2,000 people, the number is so huge that it is shocking.

Some people have some skills and can barely make ends meet, but it is difficult for them to have enough to eat!

"Butler Luo, is that all?"

"Yes, young lady." Steward Luo hung by his side, his hands trembling slightly under his long sleeves, and he tried to keep a calm tone when answering, "Over the years, I have met many soldiers who had a very difficult life, so I can't help but pay more attention to them. After continuous investigation, I have obtained this complete evidence. To ensure the authenticity, I paid several people to visit from time to time. I will help those who can. I can't bear to see them get injured on the battlefield and die because of it."

Mingyi held the three reports in her hands, feeling heartbroken and having a headache at the same time; what were the families of those people thinking? She didn't ask them to take care of their relatives who were in poor health without reservation, but as long as they had even a little conscience, they would not let their relatives live in despair.

Missed the time, missed the time~~-_-||
