Chapter 1020: Look at people’s livelihood

Due to land constraints, the local materials that can be used to weave and make clothes are very limited, so most people wear paper clothes.

This paper is not the rice paper used by literati to write and paint, nor is it the kind of window paper used to paper windows.

It is a kind of paper similar to kraft paper, which is relatively flexible, can be cut and sewn, and has a certain windproof effect.

Made from scraps of linen fabric.

Those who can afford to wear linen clothes are considered to have good family conditions.

When Qi Jun first arrived, he was shocked when he saw the patched paper clothes worn by the local people.

As mentioned before, Qi Jun's background was not bad, otherwise he would not have been able to serve as a companion to Emperor Wenchang when he was still a prince.

Although he was not well-off and well-off since he was a child, at least he had never experienced hardship. He rarely even went to the countryside, so naturally he had no chance to come into contact with the real poor.

For many years, his understanding of the poor was limited to what he read in books and the people wearing ordinary clothes he saw on the streets.

In order to experience the life of poor people, he also wore paper clothes for a period of time, and found that the paper clothes were not very breathable, and were very rough, which caused considerable damage to the skin.

He took Zhong Shilang and others deep into the people. Seeing the shocked expressions of Zhong Shilang and others, he knew that he had made the right move.

Because Qi Jun often goes to the countryside, many people know him and warmly invite them to his home.

When Shilang Zhong saw that the houses inside the low and simple walls of ordinary people's homes were not very high, they were very strong, he couldn't help but sigh a few times.

The old man who invited them smiled and said: "This is also our blessing. Although we suffered a disaster, the prime minister and the champion Hou helped us, otherwise we would not have the strength to build a new house."

The old man talked about what happened at that time, and Zhong Shilang and others were greatly shocked.

The old man also said: "In the past, when encountering such a disaster, people like us had no choice but to die..."

When he returned to the government office, Zhong Shilang offered to use half of his monthly salary to support the local people while he was here.

Qi Jun said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.' Zhong Shilang's good intentions will inevitably become an excuse for others to be jealous and jealous.

“If Mr. Zhong is willing, he can give this money to the Salesian Bureau.

“Although the Salesian Bureau is privately established, the government is responsible for its supervision.

"The people here are those who basically have no ability to work. If we have time, we can go and have a look someday."

The Salesian Bureau is the charity hall built by Chu Yin. The main building has already been built, because there is no need to paint it. After it is dried, the old and young who are homeless and have no one to rely on will be taken over.

The details need to be gradually improved.

Zhong Shilang readily agreed and did not ask Qi Jun to accompany him the next day. He quietly took his two subordinates to the Salesian Bureau to inquire about it.

Although the buildings of the Salesian Bureau are still low, they appear to be very sturdy, and the people who take care of the elderly and children are particularly attentive and considerate.

Although the food is very simple and crude, it should be cooked for as long as possible so that it is soft enough for the elderly and children to eat it.

After asking about it, I found out that one meal every day must contain meat, sometimes it is chicken soup, sometimes it is minced meat.

It is worth mentioning that a chicken must be boiled at least three times before it is taken out and will not be thrown away. Even though the chicken has no taste, it will still be eaten by people who take care of the elderly and children with soy sauce.
