Chapter 459: Create Life with Your Hands
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" Su Ren cleared his throat: "I am Shi Su Ren, the chief inspector of the Han Dynasty, I have a few words I want to say to you, please be quiet."
Faced with the noisy situation, Su Ren felt a little struggling. He had never spoken in front of so many people, and at a glance there were no less than a thousand men, women, and children standing in the square. The scene was extremely grand, and everyone's cough was thunder.
Seeing that Su Ren couldn't stabilize his position, Xiao Zuosan stepped forward and shouted: "Quiet!" The sound was like a bell, and it could be heard clearly from a distance of one or two miles, and this sound was really like thunder, completely calming the more than 1,000 people in the audience. The timid man hurriedly reached out to cover the child's mouth, and timidly looked at the big man holding the hilt of the sword.
Xiao Zuoying's general eyes glanced around, making sure that no one spoke again, and turned to Su Yiyi and hugged his fist: "Su Changshi, please!" ”
Su Ren nodded gratefully at Xiao Zuo and took a step forward. On the stove where he usually eats, the guy is standing here to stir-fry and cook, and Su Ren is also considered a waste utility, so he doesn't dare to move when he stands on it. The more than 1,000 pairs of eyes in the audience looked straight over, and Su Ren was panicked when he saw it, and he almost failed to say it several times.
"Ahem! I am Shi Suren, the chief inspector of the Han Dynasty, some of whom we have already met, and some of the newcomers may not have seen them yet, they are a little younger, and they don't look like them, but really, they were personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Su Ren eased the atmosphere first, but it had little effect.
"You are all from Yuedi, I have also heard a little about Yuedi, and now it is a mess, Nanyue, Luoyue, Xijiao, etc., all parties kill me and I kill you, I don't know what to kill for! Ay! I don't know what the officials are thinking, and you must not know either, so let's not think about it, the most important thing is to survive as ordinary people, do you say? ”
The crowd was silent, Su Ren talked for a long time, no one knew what he wanted to say, looked at Su Ren expressionlessly, and did not respond.
Su Ren continued: "The Han and the Yue people have enmity, I don't deny this, but those are all the hatreds made by those who are officials, the king of Yue sent people to kill the Han people, rob the Han people, as a Han people, who wants to do this?" Therefore, the Han people also sent people to kill and rob the Yue people, so that there was a taste of incompatibility between the Han and the Yue people. ”
"But today, you can rest assured, as long as you really can't get by, and you are really desperate to come to the Han people, I Su Ren promise here that I will never let them be treated unfairly, and if you want to leave, you can decide for yourself, no one in this place will force you to do things, and no one will embarrass you, as long as this refugee camp is open for one day, you can live here for a day."
"Then someone is going to ask, when will this refugee camp be closed?" Su Ren smiled slightly: "That's a good question, the food, clothing and all the utensils in the refugee camp are donated by the Han people one by one, one by one, why do you want to do this, or that sentence, everyone is a common people, and they can't help themselves, we Han people are broad-minded, we hate those who bully us among the Yue people, but we don't hate the Yue people who are also bullied by those people." ”
"Having said that, no matter how rich the Han people are, there will be a day when the food will run out, and the clothes will run out, the civil strife in Lingnan will become more and more fierce, and there will be more and more Yue people who can't survive, and the capacity here is limited, sooner or later they will not be able to live, and sooner or later they will be closed!"
Su Ren paused, glanced at everyone, some were still dumbfounded, some were touched by Su Ren's words, and followed Su Ren's thinking and began to think about their future lives.
"Someone suggested to me that if I can't do it anymore, then tear down the huts, scatter the population, and let you fend for yourself! Some people also suggested to me that you Yue people should live in Yue Di, not us Han people, and we did not pay a grain of grain tax to the Han government and the imperial court, so we have no obligation to take care of you! Some people even say that they will drive you back directly, so that you can continue to endure the precariousness, so that you will not cause trouble in the Han land. ”
Yue Ren's face showed an eager expression, but still no one spoke.
Su Ren waved his hand: "However, don't worry, I Su Ren will never do these unreasonable things, as long as you are willing to stay and live a good life in Dahan, I Su Ren will do everything possible to find a way out for you, people have hands and feet, this thing is for themselves to eat, only the food earned with their own hands will be eaten with peace of mind, you say yes?" ”
Many people nodded their heads again and again, and a few involuntarily moved a small step forward, hoping to hear clearly what kind of life Su Ren would arrange for them.
Su Ren was sure that as long as someone agreed, the rest would be easy to do. Pointing to the table and chairs under the big tree next to him, there were bamboo slips on them, and more than a dozen dignified secretaries sat in the back in a regular manner: "Look, that's the recruitment office I set up!" What is an Recruitment Office? You should have also heard that the construction of Huiji New Town requires a large number of people, and in addition, I have also opened up a large field between the Jianghuai River, which requires a large number of people. ”
"You can rest assured, these places pay wages to workers, not conscription, as long as you work hard, a strong labor force to feed a family should not be a big problem, if you have another craft, it will be a big deal, the salary is doubled!"
"Hehehe! Don't laugh, what I said is true, the price of food in Dahan is cheap, a bucket of rice is only two yuan, do a good job on the construction site, you can have a dollar a day, you can buy a bucket of rice in two days, you can calculate, can you feed a family? If you are a bachelor, it is not a problem to marry a wife for a year! Don't be afraid after the construction of Huiji New Town, the docks, docks, and various shops need people, just come to the right place, and you won't worry about life in the future! ”
"Hahaha......" A few abrupt laughter were particularly awkward in the team of 1,000 people, but no one thought it was strange, the picture Su Ren painted for them was too beautiful, everything could be seen and touched.
Su Ren cleared his throat and continued: "If someone is unwilling to do this kind of work, and feels that they can't work for others like this for the rest of their lives, then it's okay, follow them to Jianghuai to farm, what are you worried about if you have land?" I will find a way to cultivate the land, ploughing cattle and seeds, as long as you can hold on for a year, you will no longer be afraid of food, give you five years, and use the harvest to slowly return the ploughing cattle and seed money, this condition is generous enough, right? ”
"To tell you the truth, the imperial court has decreed that all the Yue people in our Han Dynasty will be exempt from tax for the first three years, three percent for three years, and sixty percent for three years.
The Yue people began to mumble and discuss, some were eager to try, and some began to ponder.
Su Ren took the water handed over by Huang Shisan, took a sip to moisten his throat, and when the voice of the discussion became a little quieter, he said: "You must still be worried, I am just a long history, not even Taishou, not to mention that I am still a twenty-year-old boy, can I believe what I say?" Su Ren said as he reached out and took out a piece of silk silk from his arms: "This is the emperor's own handwritten decree!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the Han people present hurriedly turned over and knelt down, and even the guards standing on the side also lay on the ground. The Yue people turned their heads and looked around, and someone who understood Han etiquette hurriedly explained: "When the Han people see the holy decree, it is like seeing the emperor, that is, our king, to pay a big salute and pay respects." "The Yue people also knelt on the ground in a hurry, it must be on the territory of the Han people, and it is better to keep a low profile.
Su Ren held up the holy decree: "His Majesty the Emperor has handed over all matters related to your Yue people to me to deal with, even if you are too guarded in this matter, you have to listen to me, now you should believe it, right?" ”
"Su Changshi, is it really as good as you say?" Finally, someone asked.
Su Ren put the silk silk into his arms again and said, "You didn't marry a wife when you saw it, right?" How about we make a bet? If you work at the city-building site until the end of the year and don't have the money to marry a wife, I, Su Ren, will give you 500 yuan! Let's talk about the ugly things in the front, if you kid doesn't work hard, or gets money to eat, drink and have fun, just to cheat me out of the 500 dollars, I won't spare it. ”
"Hahaha......" There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and the young man who shouted quickly lowered his head, his face red.
An old man stood up and arched his hand at Su Yiyi: "The villain Tiger Tribe Zhuo Lao Qi, now he is eight out of fifty, hanging old, unable to resist on his shoulders, unable to lift his hands, helpless, and begging Su Changshi to also show the villain a clear way." As he spoke, the old man burst into tears and fell to his knees tremblingly.
Su Ren jumped down from the stove and helped the old man up: "Don't be sad, old man!" He raised his head and said to all the Yue Dao: "There are many people like this old man among you, right?" Since I will never regret what I promised, although the old man can't do heavy work, he can do what he can, the new city is built, the streets are cleaned, the flowers and plants are trimmed, and the streets can be managed. ”
"As for now, you can stay in the refugee camp, wait for your new fellow villagers, and then the old people will come forward to help pacify them, so that they can settle down as soon as possible, which is also a help to us, who said that the old man is useless, and the family has an old man if there is a treasure!"
"Good ......!" Everyone shouted, knelt down again and kowtowed to Su Ren. Su Ren stepped forward and helped the people in front of him up: "Everyone, please get up, as long as everyone is willing to contribute, a good day will not be far away!" ”
Those who have excited have already gone to the recruitment office to register, and for a time the recruitment office is crowded, and the water inside and outside is impassable, scrambling. Su Ren smiled all over his face, turned to Zhuo Lao Qi and said: "Old man, from today onwards, you will find some of your old brothers to help clean up and clean up, greet the new villagers, please be stable here!" Su Ren bowed and swept the floor, Zhuo Laoqi hurriedly returned the salute and nodded solemnly in agreement.
