Need for money

Overhearing the chatting words of a few hooligans by accident, Lin Jing was taken aback, and then burst out laughing. He didn't expect that he would cut down all those bandits without leaving them behind, and even kill some of the hooligans in the city. The knife and meat were also shocked, but having said that, the Lin family chopped down seven or eight young people at once, and the government didn't dare to do anything to the Lin family. Anyone with a little brain who didn't want to die knew that he must never be on the Lin family's territory. make trouble.

Stopping in his tracks, Lin Jingzhi suddenly felt that he could rest assured for the time being. Of course, he shouldn't be too careless, because from the words of these ruffians, it seemed that the government wanted to secretly attack the Lin family.

Not surprisingly, news of the emperor's death spread to Luocheng the next day. Since then, Luocheng has imposed a curfew, and every house has to hang a three-foot white silk in front of the door. The same is true for government offices. Embellished with the distress and sorrow of the refugees, the whole city is full of mourning.

Because of the curfew, in the evening, the officers and soldiers would hold weapons and go to the streets to drive away the victims, clear them all out of the city, and let them sleep in the open woods outside the city. This move made the refugees complain to the government. However, since the Lin family opened a shed to help the porridge, the government and many wealthy families have also helped the refugees one after another, so that they have a bite to eat, so dissatisfaction is nothing but dissatisfaction, but no one dares to stand up and openly confront the officers and soldiers.

Simple people are like this, as long as there is a stutter, they will not die of starvation, and they will accept it.

This move by the government is definitely a great thing for the Lin family. Autumn is here and the weather is getting colder. Although the winter here in Los Angeles can't freeze to death, people who sleep outside every day and eat in the wind and sleep in the dew will suffer. No, especially the elderly and children are more likely to get sick, so in the next few days, more and more refugees lined up in front of Jishengtang.

Jishengtang has already cooperated with the Lin family, so the refugees knew that the Lin family helped them pay half of the medical expenses, and they were even more grateful to the Lin family.

Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye, Lin Jingzhi had brought back the custom-made shovel to the mansion yesterday, and the number of handcarts converted into it was almost enough. The number of refugees in Los Angeles has exceeded [-], and is still growing rapidly. Since Lin Jingzhi set a share of porridge donation two days ago, he no longer responded in sufficient amount, so although many wealthy businessmen in Los Angeles opened up porridge to help the victims, many people can only do so now. Eat half full.

Lin Jingzhi would do this for a very simple reason, to make the refugees understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and mobilizing a group of refugees who are hungry to dig a canal is much better than mobilizing a group of refugees who can eat for free every day It is much easier for the common people.

At noon, in the hall of the Lin Mansion.

"Grandma, the number of refugees has been increasing these days, and many people are already hungry. My grandson thinks that the time is almost right, and tomorrow we can have a showdown and mobilize them to dig canals outside the city and open up wasteland." Lin Jingzhi sat on a chair and discussed with Mrs. Lin.

"Well, I also feel that the time is ripe, otherwise the victims will be starved to death, not to mention easy to cause trouble, and they will be forced to go to other places to ask for a living, which will be very detrimental to the Lin family." Mrs. Lin Jun closed his eyes and softly seconded, while Liu Xiang stood behind the chair and gently rubbed her shoulders.

If some refugees were really forced away, these refugees would definitely tell others on the way that they couldn't get enough to eat in Los Angeles, which would influence more refugees to come here.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Jingzhi feels that tomorrow he can encourage refugees to open up wasteland and dig rivers.

"Grandma said it is true, but although my grandson went out to mingle with the refugees every day these days and met many respected old people in the original village, I still don't know whether I can encourage them to help the Lin family open up wasteland. Too much to hold."

That was more than 8 people, standing together in the dark, just thinking about standing in front of them and speaking loudly, Lin Jingzhi became very nervous.

"If they really don't want to, then the Lin family will stop helping refugees!" Old Madam Lin's eyes suddenly opened, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, because Liu Xiang happened to be watching this scene when he was leaning up, and Liu Xiang instinctively frightened With a shudder, he looked away.

Mrs. Lin took a look at Liu Xiang and closed her eyelids again.

Hearing Mrs. Lin's proposal, Lin Jingzhi frowned. Seventy to eighty percent of the refugees in Los Angeles now rely on the Lin family to help them survive. If the Lin family really stopped supplying porridge and steamed buns , It is estimated that many refugees will starve to death, but although he felt a little unbearable, he did not object in the end.

The Lin family can do good deeds, but they can’t be without scale. If you help me dig a canal, I’ll provide you with food. This is considered a fair trade. If the refugees disagree, then the Lin family really has no obligation to help them.

Of course, this is just the worst plan, and if this matter is really not done, then the Lin family spent several 10 taels of silver to buy a piece of wasteland, but it will be a big loss.

"Grandma, my grandson thinks, after the news gets out tomorrow, I will open a shed in the wasteland outside the city to help with porridge. After receiving the food, I have to work with a shovel. In this way, even if there are many people who resist at first , but in a few days, they will obediently run to the door to be used by my Lin family even if they are hungry.”

Mrs. Lin narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the words, and laughed, "Okay, this is a good way. The Lin family will set up a shed to help porridge in the wasteland. If you are willing to work, I will give you food. ! Starving some of them to death will only eat lazy people."

"In addition, bring more guards to prevent those unruly people from taking the lead in making a fuss, and you should pay more attention to your own safety." After thinking about it, Mrs. Lin added another sentence.

When Lin Jingzhi heard the last sentence, he also laughed, and by the way, said what he heard from a few ruffians near the south gate of the city a few days ago.

After listening, Mrs. Lin finally put her mind at ease. Since killing those bandits has frightened all the ruffians in the city, then this matter will definitely spread among the refugees, she guessed With that in mind, there shouldn't be any stupid and bold people who dare to make trouble at the door of Lin's house.

Tang Yuxiang got up very early in the morning because she was busy refining pills these days. Basically, Lin Jingzhi would get up and get dressed after washing her front feet. The more refugees there were, the more medicines they needed. Dong, the right-hand man, was on the sidelines to help, but she, the master, was so busy after breakfast today that she didn't even have time to sit down and drink.

After finally finding some free time, she leaned against the threshold to rest for a while, but she saw that when Dong was busy working, she was still pouted, and she didn't know what she was muttering in a low voice. Knowing that there was something unusual about Dong, he beckoned her and signaled her to come closer.

"Zhidong, what's the matter with you these days? Do you have something on your mind?"

"No...no." Zhidong's eyes flickered with panic, and he stammered in denial.

Tang Yuxiang glared at her angrily, and said: "It's all right, it's all written on your face, tell me quickly, is there something wrong with you, and you still have to hide it from me?"

"No, Second Mistress, this, actually, I'm still not sure about this matter!" Zhidong replied hastily.
