Zhu Chongba felt that there must be something wrong here. If it really seemed to be so prosperous, then the Yuan Dynasty would be doomed! That is impossible, because only when it rots from the roots will it perish. Therefore, Zhu Chongba felt that where he should be, he did not see clearly, or he was confused by this so-called prosperity.
Zhu Chongba continued to walk forward. Maybe if he looked more, he could see some different phenomena!
Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba suddenly changed his direction. He did not continue walking along the street, but walked to the back of the street.
As soon as he reached the alley behind the street, Zhu Chongba saw that the situation here was completely different from what he had just seen.
How to describe it? In other words, if what Zhu Chongba saw on the street just now was considered heaven, then what Zhu Chongba saw now was the so-called hell scene.
Zhu Chongba even doubted whether he had come to another world, such a short distance, but there was such a big difference.
Du Fu, the poet sage, once said in a poem that the wine and meat in Zhumen stink, and the roads are frozen to death, but there is still a long way to go in that dimension.
But here, there is such a short distance between the main street and the back of this main street. It is so different. This kind of shock made Zhu Chongba feel that he really saw the Yuan Dynasty. What was the reason for its demise? The people suffered too much. .
The Han people have the largest population among all people, but now they are the lowest-ranked ethnic group.
The Han people are hardworking and taciturn, and one day they will break out in silence. Zhu Chongba is their leader.
Zhu Chongba felt that he had to do something for these people, because seeing others starving made Zhu Chongba feel very uncomfortable. This time Zhu Chongba made a lot of money selling grain, and he planned to use part of it to help the victims.
Looking at these naked and hungry people on the street, Zhu Chongba really couldn't bear to look at them!
There is a shop in front of me. There are so many people gathered in front of it that they are blocking the road. What is going on?
Because Zhu Chongba had to pass through here, he walked towards the crowd, got closer, and finally saw clearly. It turns out that this is a small restaurant called Zhujia Restaurant.
Perhaps because his last name was the same as his own, Zhu Chongba had an inexplicable fondness for this store.
"Everyone, please come back today! There will be no soup kitchen today!" The person who said this was an old man who looked like a shop owner.
. "Boss! Have mercy on us! Give us a bowl of porridge to drink." Each of these hungry people was holding a broken bowl.
The shop owner looked at the hungry people. "It's not that I'm not feeling bad! Folks, please be quiet, I have something to say."
So those hungry people were very obedient and quieted down. In fact, they were already so hungry that they didn't have much strength left.
"Dear fellow villagers! I have been giving porridge for a whole day yesterday, because I have a small business, and I had to tighten my belt for a few months to recover from my kindness yesterday! Today is really... There is no other way, fellow villagers and elders, please give in, everyone is just living together, and I really can’t do business with you all here. If you continue like this, I will starve to death!"
After hearing what the shop owner said, Zhu Chongba also felt bad. This time, Zhu Chongba was the shop owner, because he felt that he had done such a thing very interestingly.
"Everyone, make way, make way, let me pass, I have something to say!" Zhu Chongba shouted from behind the crowd, and then many people in front consciously moved out of the way, just like that, Zhu Chongba walked to the shop owner.
"Amitabha! Boss, first of all, I would like to say thank you for your generous donation of porridge yesterday. You really have a bodhisattva heart! Buddha will bless the benefactor's family! You are not to blame for what happened today. I have an idea. Are you willing to listen?" Zhu Chongba looked at the shop owner and said.
The shop owner immediately said to Zhu Chongba, "I'm trying my best, but there is really no other way today. Master, please tell me what we can do."
"That's it! It's today. From now on, you will continue to give out porridge, but today's cost will be counted as mine. Then you can calculate how much money will be needed from now on to evening?" Zhu Chongba thought about it. I thought, I said this to the shop owner.
"Master, do you really have money? If you do, I am willing to do this. I don't want any profit. I will make porridge for them. I have calculated that one day from now, there will be so many people If so, it will cost about one hundred and twenty taels of silver." The shop owner replied very firmly.
"Okay, then I will give you two hundred taels of silver now. You can take it! The rest will be considered as compensation for your losses. Is this okay? Then do it quickly!"
After Zhu Chongba finished speaking, he directly gave the shop owner two hundred taels of silver notes. The shop owner took those silver notes and said, "Master is indeed a disciple of Buddha. Master also has the heart of a Bodhisattva!"
So the shop owner immediately started serving porridge.
Then Zhu Chongba said again, "Everyone, line up, line up! Don't worry, everyone has a share."
These hungry people saw hope, so they lined up very consciously, and the streets were no longer blocked.
The trouble this time has been solved, but what about next time? So, Zhu Chongba is thinking of a long-term solution. If he were the emperor now, he would definitely have a solution, but he is not yet!
This matter could not be solved in this way, so he said to the shop owner, "Boss, please put up a sign in front of the shop later. If these residents have no food in the future, let them go to the government to ask for food." Yes, and you told them to unite and go together, not just one or two people, because the more people go, the more attention the government pays to them. Do you remember this? You have to tell the victims that they must remember Stay with this!"
When the shop owner heard this, he said, "Yes! Yes! Master, you are right. Our power is limited. The government has money. They have much more money than us. Okay, I will write something after a while. Post it." Go to the wall and let them go to the government together.”
Zhu Chongba thought to himself, by doing this, he had thought of a good idea for these remembrance people! , I don’t know what will happen in front of the government offices tomorrow. Then Zhu Chongba will go and see how the government treats these hungry people. .
Zhu Chongba watched here for a while, and then he walked out of this other world and walked to the street again. When he saw the prosperity of the street, Zhu Chongba's feelings were different from what he felt now when he saw such prosperity again. totally different.
Because Zhu Chongba saw the famine hidden behind the prosperity and the tears of the poor.
