Chapter 111

"Shangxian, you... you mean that not only can everyone work for you to pay back the autumn tax, but you also... take care of everyone's meals?" The old man who spoke before suddenly raised his head and looked up while trembling on crutches. Looking at Zhou Ze's eyes full of disbelief.

Zhou Ze didn't reply him immediately, instead he raised his head and looked around. Looking around, all the people he looked at were short of breath at the moment, and at the same time, his eyes were filled with endless enthusiasm and expectation. When they found that Zhou Ze was watching them, they couldn't help lowering their heads, not daring to meet Zhou Ze's gaze.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ze couldn't help but feel a little sad. Looking at all the nations in the world, only the people of my Chinese nation are the easiest to be satisfied. Just letting them have enough food can have such a big reaction.

Serving for the imperial court is not only unpaid, everyone has to prepare their own food, and they are always humiliated and scolded by the petty officials, but even with this kind of treatment, most of the people who do the labor will not choose to kill officials Rebels, on the contrary, will grit their teeth and persevere, even if they die, they will die in service. Looking at all the nations that have existed in human history, there is no second one!
This reminded him of a topic he had read on the Internet before: Someone asked on Huhu, if I traveled back to the Sui Dynasty and was in charge of all the laborers digging the Grand Canal, would they only provide porridge and pickled vegetables to the laborers every day? be opposed to?
The answer with the most likes and comments under the topic is as follows: If you provide porridge and pickled mustard to the laborers every day, you will get the gratitude of all the laborers on the first day, and you will gain the loyalty of all the laborers on the second day. The celestial beings will wear yellow robes.

As for Emperor Sui Yang in Luoyang City?
That is a false emperor!You are the real Sui Yang Emperor!
And don't ask why the yellow robes are not added on the third day, because the laborers are rushing to make the yellow robes overnight
Of course, if you become Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and give porridge and pickled vegetables to the laborers every day, then even if you want to dig this Grand Canal to Siberia, you will have no problem!
You said there is Goguryeo in the middle?
Small problem, as long as you raise your arms, millions of people will be willing to wipe Goguryeo off the map for you!
Zhou Ze could clearly feel the rising emotions of the people around him, and only then did he realize that there was nothing exaggerated in that comment.

I believe that as long as he nods, most of the people in Miyun County will become his fanatical loyalists just like the villagers.

How could he let go of such a good thing? The great man once said that as long as you make more friends, you will naturally have fewer and fewer enemies, and you will be invincible.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, picked up the loudspeaker and looked around: "That's right! Working for me can not only offset the autumn tax, but I also take care of everyone's meals, three meals a day, and take care of your fill! "

Boom!

Zhou Ze's words shook like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing everyone present to stagger in a trance, sitting on the ground and supporting their bodies with their arms, trying not to let themselves fall down.

Even the county magistrate beside him was shocked by Zhou Ze's words, and hurried to Zhou Ze's side, and whispered worriedly: "Sir, there is no need for three meals a day. Everyone usually eats two meals at most. Besides, there are nearly [-] people in Miyun County, if you can still eat three meals a day, the daily food consumption alone is an astronomical amount!"

Hearing the county magistrate's kind reminder to Zhou Ze, he couldn't help shaking his head slowly.

Although there are nearly [-] people in Miyun County, it does not mean that everyone will choose to work for relief. Excluding children and those who are disabled and cannot contribute, there will be one-third fewer people.

Moreover, not only ordinary people in Miyun County, but also traders, big gentry, scholars, tenants, etc. will not participate in work-for-relief.

Zhou Ze made a rough calculation in his mind, and in the end the number of people who chose to work for relief was at most 3.

Although the number of people seemed a bit high, Zhou Ze did not say that the three meals a day were all in accordance with the high standards of the villagers at that time.

Porridge and pickles in the morning, dry rice with fishy dishes at noon, and porridge and pickles for everyone in the evening.

And I'm not afraid that they will get tired of eating pickles for a long time. There are more than a dozen kinds of pickles in his supermarket alone. Besides, even in modern times, every meal in the neighboring country must have pickles as a side dish. Well, and the dishes on their state banquet are mainly a dazzling variety of pickles. You must know that stealing the country is a developed country recognized by the world!

What's more, even in the Qing Dynasty a few hundred years later, the magistrate of a county would not be able to eat enough pickles, and said: After eating pickles and tofu, the emperor is not as good as me~.

So he planned to change the food for them every now and then, without worrying that they would get tired of it.

As for the porridge provided for two meals, although it is called porridge, it is completely different from the reflection of a few grains of brown rice and sand floating in a large bowl of clear water in film and television works.

His so-called thin porridge must at least ensure that the chopsticks will not fall down immediately when inserted.

As for the noon meal, the white rice is enough. Although the taste is not very good, I think these people will not be picky.

Zhou Ze is going to provide local rice for the common people. Jiangcheng is located in the south, and the local rice is produced three times a year and the price is very cheap. However, Zhou Ze doesn’t like to eat local rice, because the taste of this kind of rice will be inferior. The rice in Yuxianlai Island is dozens of streets away from Wuchang rice, not to mention that there is Xiangshui rice known as a modern tribute on top of Wuchang rice, so the rice that Zhou Ze eats is made by his mother from his hometown. Post it.

Although Zhou Ze is not used to eating local rice right now, it is suitable for supplying the people of Ming Dynasty.

For the lunch dishes, Zhou Ze plans to refer to the construction site, stew a large pot of cheap vegetables such as cabbage, potatoes, radishes, pour enough salt, and throw a few pieces of fat in each pot as oily smell.

Calculated in this way, the food cost per person per day is only about 3 yuan.

Even if this is not counting the cost of large-scale procurement of grain and vegetables, there is still room for reduction.

In other words, for only 3 yuan, a young man can work hard for you for a whole day, and he is making a lot of money!

Another one is that he scoffed at the fact that the county magistrate said that the common people only eat two meals a day.

Is that their willingness to eat only two meals?
If there is enough food at home, who doesn't want to eat three meals a day.

Although Zhou Ze knew that the county magistrate was thinking of him, he couldn't help but cast a veiled glance at him.

It's a pity that old fritters like county magistrates who have been soaked in the big ponds of officialdom for many years are difficult to reform as quickly as Mr. Mu.

But when he thought that he still had some conscience for the people and was not too bad in nature, Zhou Ze put down the idea of ​​reforming him.

Glancing at the anxious county magistrate, Zhou Ze said flatly, "I don't need to mention this matter, but I just consume more food. If they don't even let them eat enough, how can they have the strength to work?"

"Besides, if they work hungry, they will lose their health. What do you mean by health? Uh, you can understand that working hard while growing up without enough food will seriously shorten their lifespan. Take a good look. They, people who can endure hardships and stand hard work, do you have the heart to watch them die early?!"

Whether it is building roads or building houses, it is all physical work. Only when you are full can you work efficiently. Zhou Ze will not do things like picking sesame seeds after losing watermelons.

If he makes the people work and doesn't let them eat, it's no different from a slave trader.

Although Zhou Ze was talking to the county magistrate, he forgot that the loudspeaker in his hand was still on. What he said was instantly spread all over the place, and the people present heard it clearly.

When the common people heard the deep concern in the words of the gods, their eyes turned red instantly, and at the same time, there was a surge of emotion in their hearts that could not be calmed down for a long time.

In their hearts, food is more important than their own lives, but now the gods would rather pay more precious food to let them live a few more years. This kind of care is something they have never felt before.

At this time, in the hearts of the common people, Zhou Ze has become the belief they swear to follow in this life.
