The secret treasury that Pan Weizheng copied was apparently a well-known charity house in Kaifeng City, and it was said to have countless living people.
Now the fun is getting bigger. A well-known charity house in Kaifeng City is actually the nest of Wuyou Cave. This is a big case. Now Zhao Heng has just arrested the person, but the reason for the arrest has not been announced. As a result, the officials in the court are writing letters one after another, and the people in Kaifeng are also talking about it one by one.
They were all discussing this matter non-stop, but Zhao Heng had no idea of dealing with this matter. In his opinion, monks could be arrested at will, but the common people who were talking were too busy to do anything in winter, so they must have To keep them busy, if only they would be busy.
Now that Zhuo Qun came and said that he was going to start transforming Kaifeng City, Zhao Heng was already very happy, so that the common people would not come to make trouble. And Zhuo Qun also said that he would train the Forbidden Army, which was even more unexpected.
Zhao Hengzheng was worried that those generals would come to make trouble. After all, those generals had the deepest relationship with Wuyou Cave. Otherwise, just from Wuyou Cave, one could get bows and crossbows. You must know that the current Song Army is not bad yet. .
Moreover, Zhao Heng also knew about the self-respect of those generals in raising bandits, but now there is no way. The generals' power is deeply entangled in the army and cannot be acted upon. All the generals Zhao Heng attacked were killed one by one.
Zhuo Qun's training of the Forbidden Army gave him a chance to regain the morale of the army. As long as there are people of his own in the middle and high-level ranks of the army, it is a blessing in Zhao Heng's opinion.
After getting Zhao Heng's consent, Zhuo Qun did what he said and asked Sima to take Ding Wei to start announcing the decree in Kaifeng City. He wanted to start transforming the city and call in a large number of workers.
Many citizens have nothing to do in the winter, so they go around gambling and having fun. But not all of them have money. Those who don't have money can only take some relief and do some court work in exchange for food. .
Therefore, the imperial court usually repairs offices in winter. This is the reason. To ensure that people in the city have food, they must not be idle for fear of getting into trouble.
It is winter now, and there is less work and fewer people on the market. Ding Wei and Sima came to Kaifeng Prefecture to ask the prefect to post a notice to let the people know that the court has big work to do this winter, and it may not be possible to do it. We don't have much time, we have to recruit workers, hurry up and get as many people as you want.
There are seventeen counties in Kaifeng Prefecture, but there are only two counties in Kaifeng City, Junyi County and Kaifeng County, and these two counties are the main body of Kaifeng City. Now Sima's first step is to transform these two counties.
Ding Wei and Sima said that as long as the notice is put out within three days, all the helpers will come over. These helpers are the people who do the work.
But Sima couldn't wait for such a long time. He didn't have the time to wait, so he asked someone to go out and shout with a loudspeaker.
Kaifeng Prefecture is about to start work. Regardless of whether they are men, women, old or young, they will be given food, meat for every meal, and wages will be paid.
Sima changed Zhuo Qun's words to take care of the food when he came to work, and he had meat every meal.
A group of people held loudspeakers and shouted loudly all over Kaifeng City. Suddenly, tens of thousands of people came huffing and puffing.
Men, women, and children all came, and suddenly there were tens of thousands of helpers. Sima was very satisfied.
Sima immediately arranged for someone to take them to work together. It was said to be work, but in fact it was asking them to clean up the sundries and do some chores. After all, they couldn't do much work now.
But the important thing is not what kind of work they do, but that they have people to work with them. Sima needs role models now. As long as there are people who can do it, he will give them money and sell them food. Besides, don’t they still bring tall and strong people from Wuyou Cave? Did tens of thousands of poor people come out?
After all, Sima's work was done very quickly. Some of the trivial tasks, such as delivering things and running errands, were all done by the Song people, so they could just focus on their work.
Two hundred thousand people cleared the streets of Kaifeng County within a few hours.
During the clean-up process, there were still many street gangsters who were hired out by big households in the county to cause trouble. As a result, the security team selected by Sima gave them a shock lesson with electric batons and then they went to work honestly. And those The gangster leaders were electrocuted one by one and became incontinent. They fell to the ground convulsing and foaming at the mouth. And those who came to work were even more honest, and they all rushed to work. I am afraid that if I am slower than others, I will become like that.
After the street was clean, the Song people's helpers came to dig trenches, but Sima's people stopped them.
Excavators came one after another, frightening a group of Song people to shake like chaff. These people had never seen such a thing before, and they thought it was some kind of monster coming. Sima's people quickly explained that it was a man-made machine. It took some hard talking to persuade the people to stop them from running away.
Ding Wei ran out and asked the government officials to shout to those people with loudspeakers.
He was persuaded to stop by saying that Sima and the others were the heavenly soldiers and generals who came to help the great officials as mentioned before.
Then the fear turned into fanaticism, and people began to worship these things to the extreme and people thought they were gods and gods.
The ancients did not understand science. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning, earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons were all considered to be things that only gods can do. Those who can do things that normal people cannot do are considered gods. So now Sima What they did is what they think of as gods. These must be written down, which will be helpful for future development.
At noon, Sima asked someone to give each of them 20 yuan, 5 yuan each.
Then he took them to the cafeteria to eat. It was said that the cafeteria was actually made of large canvases with only a roof, which could be seen from the outside.
The food was not expensive, as Zhuo Qun said, it was five yuan a meal, two steamed buns, a portion of braised pork with potatoes, spicy and sour cabbage, and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
The people who came to work didn't believe their eyes. A small piece of paper could be exchanged for so much food, including cooking and meat.
If they can't cook stir-fried dishes in restaurants or small restaurants, then they won't be able to afford a restaurant that can cook stir-fried dishes. ,
Now they can eat meat and stir-fry vegetables when they come to work. It’s like a dream.
And those who are not working are drooling from the sidelines.
Sima also told people that as long as they had money, they could come to eat, but they must use their money. They were paid 40 yuan a day for work and 5 yuan for a meal. They recognized money but not people.
To put it bluntly, it is to establish the status of the RMB. As long as they use it a few times and find that they can buy food, they will use the money. When they find that the money can buy other things, then they will find ways to make money. At that time, they will take the initiative to come to them for work or exchange money.
Now those people who were eating had already hidden their money. While hiding the money, they kept their eyes on other people, for fear that someone would snatch their money away.
