Chapter 549 I am afraid that the world will not be in chaos
In this way, the cost per day is only a few cents, which is very cost-effective.

Therefore, when Wufu Workshop started selling tofu dregs at a low price, it immediately attracted many people from poor families who usually did not have enough food to buy them. Because of the large number of people, there were often long queues.

The people are also very satisfied with this.

Some people, however, spat on the ground when they saw many people lining up to buy tofu dregs. "You black-hearted people, you say you are doing a good deed, but you only give people tofu dregs. If you have the ability, you should open the warehouse to release grain, or take out the tofu and share it with everyone. How can you be considered a good deed by selling tofu dregs?"

"That's right, you're using some tofu dregs to buy people's hearts, and you don't even feel guilty about it. The Wufu Workshop and the government are calculating everything, but you guys who don't know anything are suffering and are still praising others for what they have done. You're really stupid!"

A crowd listened to a few people cursing and looked at them in surprise at first, then narrowed their eyes and snorted with disdain.

Seeing that not only did the crowd not take their words to heart, but also looked down on them, the round-faced man who spoke first became dissatisfied, "What? Was I wrong?"

"I don't know if what you said is right or not." An elderly man in the team looked at the round-faced man, "But I want to ask you, are you willing to give me some of the food or something in your house?"

"The food in my house belongs to me. Why would I give it to you, an old man?" The round-faced man said with disdain, "You only dream of beautiful things every day. Why don't you dream of money falling from the sky?"

"I'm not expecting money to fall from the sky. I'm just thinking that your words are confusing and don't make sense." The old man said, "If you don't want to give me your food, why should Wufu Workshop give us tofu? Your food is food, but the tofu from Wufu Workshop is not tofu."

"How can they be the same?" The round-faced man snorted coldly, "Isn't this Wufu Workshop known for benefiting the people and doing good deeds? If it is doing good deeds, it must act like a good person!"

"Wufu Workshop never said it was doing charity. We were the ones who said it was doing charity and was thinking about the people. Why did it become so different in your mouth?"

The old man continued, "To put it another way, even if Wufu Workshop and the government are considering the people, what's wrong with doing things within one's means?"

"I'm just asking you, can you sell us the tofu dregs for two cents?"

"Two cents?" The round-faced man was so angry that his cheeks puffed up, "Why don't you go and rob!"

The price of beans this year is a little higher than last year. A pound of beans costs seven or eight cents. Even the tofu dregs cost five or six cents per pound on the market.

Two cents, what are you dreaming of!
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd burst into laughter.

Then someone started to curse fiercely, "Get out of here right now. If you keep talking nonsense here, I'll twist your head off."

"You do nothing all day long but look for trouble. If you have the time, go pick up the manure from your neighbors!"

"I've discovered that there are always people who want the world to be in chaos."

"Everyone, please open your eyes and don't be led by people with ulterior motives. Otherwise, it will hurt the people who really want to do things. That would be like a dog biting Lu Dongbin."

"That's right..." A bunch of people talked at the same time, scolding the round-faced man and others. Their faces turned purple. They were too embarrassed to stay there and left in shame.

But I was still angry.

After turning a corner, they were still indignant, "We are also thinking about them. If we make a fuss and shout a little, won't we get more benefits? But they are unwilling to do so and even accuse us of being black-hearted. It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin!"

"That's right, we are doing this for their own good!" The long-faced man next to him echoed, "Fifth brother, don't be angry, these people are just low-class people, they don't know what's good for them, they deserve to suffer and be poor!"

"That's enough." The round-faced man sighed. "It's hard to persuade the damned ghosts with kind words. Let them be. We have done our best to be kind. God is watching us. We have a clear conscience!"

As soon as the words fell, a faint voice suddenly sounded beside him, "That's right, what we want is a clear conscience."

Seeing someone answering, the round-faced men turned around hurriedly and saw a middle-aged man wearing a long gown, looking gentle and refined, like a scholar.

However, there was a scar on this person's cheek that went from the bridge of his nose to the base of his ear, running through the entire right side of his face. Even though the color had faded to white, it still looked very scary.

But fortunately, this person had a smile on his face and showed some kindness, which made people feel a little more comfortable.

"You are right." The round-faced man nodded and bowed to the man. "It is rare that there are sober people like you in this world, unlike those confused people who don't understand anything."

"The world is like this now, and there is nothing we can do about it." The scarred man sighed and cupped his hands, "But as you said, fortunately there are still sober people like us in this world, otherwise, I really don't know what kind of situation we would be in."

"This Wufu Workshop was named after the Five Blessings, but in reality it is a scheming workshop that has earned a good reputation. It can only be said that the people behind it are extremely cunning, which is really sad."

"Yes." The round-faced man nodded. "Before, this prefect was considered a good official who worked hard for the people. Now he is full of the smell of money. I really don't know how to comment on him."

"I guess it's not the prefect's fault. After all, those businessmen took advantage of the opportunity and deceived the prefect." said the man with the scar.

merchant?

The round-faced man thought for a moment and asked, "Your Excellency, do you mean the lady Xia who organized the Wufu Workshop?"

"Who else could it be besides her?" The scarred man's face was full of contempt. "To be honest, this Xia is originally from Jinqiu County. She is a slut who only cares about money. For the sake of money, she actually instigated the relationship between other people's fathers and daughters, causing the daughters to sever ties with their fathers and mothers, and causing other people's daughters to ignore their parents and not fulfill any filial piety!"

"Is this true?" The round-faced man was shocked and angry. "Children should obey their parents in everything. Even if their parents want them to die, it is reasonable. This is the way to fulfill their filial piety. Xia Shi actually did such a shameless thing. Is there no one to stop it?"

"Xia is good at flattery and fawning on the local county magistrate. Who dares to say anything bad about her? Now that Xia is close to the prefect, others naturally dare not say a word."

The scarred man sighed, "It's a pity that in this bright and clear world, no matter how bright the sun is, it can't illuminate the evil in people's hearts..."
