Chapter 379: Rescue the emergency but not the poor, the test of His Majesty the First Emperor
Hedong County, Anyi.
"Sixth brother, the people of Anyi are living in such hardship, and yet you are... practicing business and depriving the people of their money. Isn't it an act of cruelty?"
Fusu frowned and walked to Ying Che's room.
Unlike him who scrimped on food and clothing and distributed money to the people, Ying Che's room was filled with not only delicious food, but also silk and satin, and he even bought decorations from local craftsmen with great interest.
After asking this question, Fusu already wanted to question him.
"Brother, what kind of cruelty is this?"
"I didn't steal food from the people."
Ying Che was slightly startled and then replied with a smile.
"Confused!"
"We are the Ying family's royal family, and the suffering of the people is our suffering!"
"you you..."
Fusu slapped the desk, his eyes full of hatred: "My father asked you and me to patrol the border because he wanted to hand over the big affairs to me. How can you take on big responsibilities in the future if you are like this?"
This sentence is extremely serious.
Fusu also expressed his sincere feelings and hoped that Yingche would get better.
How could he not know that his father would choose the crown prince between the two of them.
If the sixth brother is suitable, he Fusu will naturally assist the sixth brother.
But now...he is disappointed!
"Brother."
However,
Faced with Fusu's accusation, Yingche just put down the wine cup in his hand slightly, then sighed and shook his head: "You are wrong about this!"
“Rescuing the poor is not just giving away.”
"Teacher taught me, brother...please allow me, a younger brother, to speak rudely. You are not enough."
After saying this, Fusu was slightly startled: "Sixth brother, what do you mean by this?"
Ying Che took an empty wine cup, and then poured the wine in the wine cup into the empty wine cup: "Brother, now the people are the wine cup, and you are the wine pot, this wine... is what you call salvation. "
"Pour some. Although the wine glass is full, it will be spent over time..."
Ying Che drank all the wine in the wine cup: "It will be empty again."
"The more you pour, the more empty it will be."
"Is there no end to the wine in the flagon?"
Speaking of this, Ying Che sighed, as if he thought of a sentence his teacher often taught: "It's hard to take care of yourself if you grow up poor, brother!"
After saying these words, even Fusu was speechless.
How could he not know the simple truth that it can save the poor but not the poor?
However....
Since the rise of the rebels, the people of Anyi have suffered great disasters and are facing poverty and misery. How can he, Fusu, turn a blind eye?
"Sixth brother! Even if we can't save Chang Poverty, we still have to do our best."
"For people like you, if you are big on business, is this a way to save the people?"
Fusu asked in a deep voice.
But this time, Ying Che put down his wine cup, looked into his brother's eyes, and nodded: "Not bad!"
"Brother, this is a strategy to save the people!"
After saying this sentence, Fusu was confused.
You Yingche is eating, drinking and having fun in Anyi, practicing business and exploiting people's wealth. Is this a strategy to save the people?
"you you...."
Fusu pointed at Ying Che, his anger rising, and he wanted to say something, but Ying Che held his hand down.
"Brother, please listen to my words."
"As the saying goes, teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish."
"Nowadays, the people in Anyi City seem to be impoverished due to rebellion, but in fact they are like a pool of stagnant water."
"There is no grain in Anyi, so grain merchants raise grain prices for two reasons. One is to seek personal gain, which is the nature of merchants. The other is that people will be violent if they don't have grain. In order to protect their own grain, grain merchants must have more food." We spend a lot of money to protect food, which will naturally be passed on to food prices."
"Salt, iron, cloth and other commodities are the same."
"Therefore, I opened up business channels and opened shops as a young master. I also suppressed the prices so that the people can afford them."
"At the same time, with the wide opening of shops, there are many more jobs, and the people can make a living by their own strength. However, the people are poor, and the wages they ask for are nothing more than food for the whole family. Seeing the profits, merchants from all over the country will definitely come here one after another, so they save the people from poverty."
Ying Che spoke slowly and told Fusu what he did.
even,
He also knew in his heart that Anyi was not the only way for border patrol, so why did he come here on the previous border patrol route.
Patrolling the border....
To put it bluntly, it was just a test for the two brothers!
Fusu looked thoughtful, and after a long time he nodded slightly.
Although the sixth brother's approach was a little eccentric, in fact Fusu did find that the price of grain in Anyi had begun to fall in the past two days, and even some grain merchants began to take the initiative to reduce prices.
A young master's shop would not agree on grain prices with ordinary grain merchants.
"Even so, why are you spending so much money, Sixth Brother?"
Fusu still had questions.
Since you are going to open a shop, what does that have to do with you squandering food?
"That's it..."
Ying Che smiled and said, "Teacher teaches you that no matter what the situation is, you must let the people below see you full of confidence."
"Squandering means telling the people of Anyi that there is enough food in Anyi!"
"With confidence, the people will not flee, but will stay in Anyi. With the opening of business roads, it will naturally come to life in the stagnant water of Anyi."
After saying these words, Fusu looked thoughtful.
He felt that Ying Che's words were somewhat excusing.
But....it does make some sense.
This was completely different from what he had in mind, which was to treat people kindly.
He, Fusu, was wholeheartedly good to the people, but when it came to Yingche, he began to plot against the people.
But he tried his best to help Su, but it had little effect. Ying Che's plan is to ensure that the people can eat.
In the end...what went wrong?
Ying Che didn't say anything more and handed his brother a chicken drumstick.
This test from my father was so great for the first time, and Ying Che was also panicking!
'Teacher, it would be great if you were here. '
....
It's night, and the night is kind.
In the middle of winter, a trace of mist actually rose in Xianyang City.
Just three hours after the watchman's watch, a figure walked quickly towards the Immortal Master's mansion as if he knew the route and time of the city defense army's patrol.
The weirdest thing is,
When this figure arrived in front of the Immortal Master's mansion, he did not rush to climb over the wall. Instead, he pulled his collar slightly, then exposed an iron plate on his chest and shook it.
After completing these weird actions, the black shadow jumped suddenly and used the wall of the mansion to climb into the Immortal Master's Mansion.
In this huge mansion, there is only one alchemy room, which is brightly lit.
The black shadow seemed to be very familiar with the structure of the Immortal Master's Mansion. Without any unnecessary step, he walked to the alchemy room.
"boom!"
There was a noise, and Xu Fu, who was still refining alchemy, suddenly found that the door was kicked open.
Then, dressed in black, he stood with a knife.
The murderous intent... is fierce!
