There are changes every day in Bianjing City. Once you are favored and powerful, you will lose your ambition and run away overnight.
When you finish singing, I will come on stage. It is the big house that Ding Wei Lei Yungong once had. After they died or got married, it no longer has the prosperity of the past. Weeds have grown all over the ground. I don’t know if it has changed. After a few moves, who moved into the former mansion.
Not to mention the house of Taizu Dynasty.
The craftsmen didn't understand at all why the house, which was still bright and glorious, was demolished and then made a small door smaller than that of ordinary people's homes. .
What a waste!
Following Liang Chuan's instructions, the Han Mansion made each large wing as small as possible and made it into upper and lower compartments, so that more residents could be accommodated.
Liang Chuan had never thought that the money to buy a house in the city would be enough to buy a large manor outside, so that more people could be fed.
But there are tens of thousands of lonely people in the world, and when they all come, his nursing home will be abandoned.
It would be better to say that Bianjing City is a barrier, drawing a circle. Liang Chuan helps the people in the circle as much as he can. People in the world can only rely on the court.
Liang Chuan is frantically rushing forward, because now this matter is not only a public welfare matter, Xia Song has a longer-term plan behind it.
Chen Xichun's entry into the palace depends on the success of this system!
And Chen Xichun is already pregnant. If the progress cannot be accelerated, and if it is delayed for another two months, Chen Xichun's belly will show up by then. By then, everything will be too late. Not only will Chen Xichun not be able to enter the palace, but he will also miss the official dragon seed. , Xia Song may not be able to protect himself.
Liang Chuan was very willing to spend money. He spent 10,000 yuan to renovate three houses without blinking an eye. The money was spent like this.
Wang Lin, the contractor of Bianjing City, took over this project and mobilized countless craftsmen from all directions. He had already heard about who Liang Chuan was, but Liang Chuan changed this good house into such a ghostly appearance. He couldn't figure out what the plan was. What!
He acted very quickly. In five days, he mobilized more than a thousand craftsmen and spent more than 20,000 yuan on materials. Miraculously, he transformed three mansions into three slums.
For a time, this became a topic of conversation after dinner.
The personal wealth that was pried out from Xue Gui and Zhan Zhirong's mouth was left in Liang Chuan's hands, but it was almost completely spent in a few days.
Money creates efficiency, and the progress of the project depends on the speed of payment.
Liang Chuan asked someone to put a plaque on it - Nursing Home. The sign was put up the day after the house was repaired.
The function of the second house is to serve as a free hospital. It not only distributes medicines and provides medical treatment, but also provides hospitalization functions similar to wards. This house has a sign of Anjifang.
The third one is a real nursing home, and finally there is a sign saying "Leo Zeyuan".
The audiences of these three welfare homes are different, but they have something in common. They are almost all for the poor people. Although they are welfare in nature, they are not from the background of public institutions, so there are still some thresholds.
Fortunately for Anjifang, the price of medicine in ancient times has not reached sky-high prices, and Anjifang has no way to cure serious diseases. Its function is more to provide some psychological comfort to those who can't even look down on the disease, and to treat minor illnesses. Diseases, some minor illnesses such as headache, brain, sore throat, pain and diarrhea are distributed free of charge.
If these homeless people were given free ginseng and winter worms every day, Liang Chuan wouldn't be able to squander it even if he had a golden mountain.
If there is one redeeming feature of the welfare system that Cai Jing originally established, it is the Luzeyuan system. This is more like the ancestral halls in some areas of southern China. When the elders of some families get old, the medicinal stones will fail and return to heaven. If he lacks skills, he will move the person to the edge of the hall of the ancestral hall and let time slowly take away the old man.
Speaking of which, this tradition feels like scum and is quite cruel to the elderly, but in fact it is more rational than excessive medical treatment. Because all the old people who move to the ancestral hall have their children taking turns to guard them. Compared with dying of old age or dying on the operating table, this kind of death is more meaningful.
The Luze Garden takes the elderly who are dying and have no one to take care of them into the garden and sends them on their last journey in life.
The Han people value the good things while alive, and even more the white things after death. If there is not even a decent ceremony when you die, it means that your life was quite poor.
Not only that, the most important function of the Luze Garden is to provide a resting place for the deceased, erect a monument, and engrave the past events of their lives, so that they will not be lonely ghosts.
After even thinking about this, Xia Song really fell in love with Liang Chuan!
If nursing homes will be attacked as image and face projects, raising a bunch of idlers who say good things for themselves, then those who are willing to take care of the funeral affairs of these lonely ghosts will still be accused of being Is he planning something evil? This is purely an expense, with no benefit at all!
That night, after having a meal at Xia Mansion until midnight, Liang Chuan finally saw the origin of Xia Song's figure. Her eating appearance was so polite and her appetite was so amazing. She picked up the chopsticks and never put them down. She was so hungry. There is no difference between a dead ghost and a reborn person.
One person swept away half of the dishes on the table. Liang Chuan was half-full with the few dishes in front of him, and regarded the rest as full.
The key point is that Xia Song never talks about business matters while eating. He can only wait until he has finished eating and drinking before talking about business matters.
After eating, he poured a few more glasses of aged wine. The technique of this wine was different from modern times. It had no alcohol smell, but had a strong fruity aroma. It was so mellow in the mouth that Liang Chuan couldn't help but drink two more glasses.
The aged wine is fragrant and mellow, and it is still slightly smoky after three rounds.
Liang Chuan suddenly spoke under the influence of alcohol: "Sir, do you want to recommend this welfare system to the court? If we rely solely on the power of the people, I'm afraid it won't last long!"
Xia Song glared at him. It was his rule not to discuss business matters at the dinner table. He didn't want to ruin his mood for the meal, so he didn't respond to Liang Chuan and continued drinking and eating.
Liang Chuan was deflated and his mood fluctuated for a moment. He immediately put away his gaffeful expression and laughed at himself, almost forgetting his status.
After having enough wine and food, Qiu Fu served another pot of tea, and the two of them spent another long time drinking together.
Xia Song can do whatever he wants, but he won't give up until this process is completed.
The room was very quiet. Qiu Fu did not dare to stay longer after having tea. He gave Liang Chuan another look and then retreated.
"Wine is good wine. If you drink too much, you will miss important events."
Liang Chuan listened to it roughly but didn't take it seriously. Later, I realized something was wrong, and after carefully studying Pinxia Song's words, I realized that there was something in them.
"What, don't you understand?"
Liang Chuan said: "Please give me some advice!"
"The plans you mentioned are rare and good plans, but further research is needed to come up with a stable and practical plan. If you make a mistake in a hurry, it will be irreversible. The same is true in officialdom. If you bite off more than you can chew, often the policies formulated by the higher authorities are implemented in a hurry due to insufficient consideration of small details, but at the local level they become evil laws that harm the people."
Liang Chuan sighed: "That's indeed the truth."
Not to mention, Fan Zhongyan wanted to reform within a few years. A few decades later, after Wang Anshi, an outstanding representative of the new generation, emerged, they began to implement the New Deal.
When good laws that benefit the people, such as the Green Crops Law, are implemented at the grassroots level, grassroots officials see that they are profitable and impose them on the people, asking them to rent seedlings and take advantage of the opportunity to charge usury!
In one short sentence, Xia Song revealed the dark and unchangeable unspoken rules of officialdom. This damn fat man could walk out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, battle wits and courage with those corrupt officials, and climb to where he is today. Would he not understand their little tricks?
"If I dedicate this policy to the imperial court, do you think the government will implement it or not?"
"The officials govern the world with benevolence and filial piety. This move is of great benefit to the people. He will definitely implement it, otherwise it will not damage the reputation of the officials."
Xia Song snorted and said: "Once I implement it, those mediocre people will first scold me for being a flatterer, secondly, they will pretend to be public and enrich private individuals, and use the country's wealth to satisfy the interests of a very small number of people. Finally, this policy If you push it further, what will it look like?"
Liang Chuan pondered for a long time, the shadows of the candles were dim, and Xia Song's face looked extremely ferocious.
Liang Chuan said nothing.
Xia Song said with a smile: "This is a system that benefits the people, but when it comes down to it, it will become a feast of corruption for corrupt officials!"
Shocked and confused, Liang Chuan said anxiously: "Where do you start talking about this!"
"If it is implemented in the name of an official, it will definitely be supplemented by strict legal examinations. If local officials fail to implement it, they will definitely be held accountable. This will lead to two consequences!"
"Which two?"
"Since this system is forcibly implemented, it is better to live with others than others. Those who can enjoy this benefit are either relatives of local officials or local bully landlords. The poor people have no one and no way out and will never have a chance. Enjoy the emperor’s grace and rain.”
"Furthermore, if the local officials with integrity and brains really implement it, when the common people see that the court has something to gain, who will be willing to farm, and it will not be comfortable to directly enjoy the rice from the court!"
Xia Songwei said, his tone couldn't help but rise. Although he himself was greedy, he believed in using money to do things. He usually worked with those who wanted to make progress and serve the country without anyone else. At least he was greedy for their money. The people will not be left desperate.
These officials only care about money, and they will not care about the life and death of the people. Moreover, he has seen too many such officials. Even corrupt officials like him would like to eat those who oppress the people alive.
Human nature cannot stand the test. The Han people's survival for thousands of years has been too difficult. Many people cannot expect them to be diligent all their lives, let alone be honest, even if there is no shortage of food in their families.
Xia Song knew not only these officials, but also the common people.
In fact, just as Xia Song expected, Cai Jing created the earliest welfare system in history, leaving him with nothing but infamy.
The imperial government imposed a welfare system, but local governments could only implement it, but did not specify how many people each nursing home should support. In some counties, nursing homes could only accommodate 30 people for tens of thousands of people. It was a drop in the bucket and was completely impractical.
Moreover, the thirty people who can enter are all related households. The food in the nursing home is not just porridge. It is said that state funds are spent in it. Every meal is no worse than a restaurant, and most of the remaining money is embezzled by local officials.
How could they not like this system? They love it to death! The common people hate this system to the core, and the public resentment is even deeper!
"Then how can we prevent this phenomenon?" There is no way to require people entering nursing homes to declare their property. Even if they declare, they can provide false information and there is no way to verify it!
"You can use the system of prosecution and confiscation!"
"What kind of system is this?"
Xia Song thought about an incident that seemed to have happened in Bianjing City a few years ago, and said: "A few years ago, I heard that there were countless refugees in the wilderness of northern Shaanxi, and many people fled to Henan. There is a person in the capital who is also doing good deeds for free. We gave porridge to the refugees."
When Liang Chuan heard this story, it seemed so familiar to him. It seemed that it had happened somewhere before, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
"That man was also very clever. The porridge he gave was made of bran. Who would eat it if they weren't so hungry? But in the end, he added some sand to the bran. This technique even scared away the refugees who were wandering around. The idle people among them who want to freeload are really clever!"
Liang Chuan's mouth almost dropped to the ground. This was not about him!
"Sir, this is not very good. I heard that it was an emergency, and the number of refugees was too large and the time was short, so that person came up with this plan. This nursing home has to be run for a long time, and it will also give people nothing to eat. Isn’t this a sin?”
Xia Song snorted coldly, looked at Liang Chuan and thought to himself, you have done everything, why are you pretending to be here?
"It's not necessary to eat soil, but you can let them eat chaff! This stuff won't starve to death even if it's not good to eat, and the price is several times cheaper than corn, so it's perfect!"
Liang Chuan really admired Xia Song. His ability to draw inferences from one instance was really strong. He had come up with the original disaster relief method himself, but he was able to use it in this nursing home.
"Your Excellency, haven't you said anything about the punishment of punishment?"
"Isn't this simple? You sign a deed with anyone who is admitted to the hospital and has a free meal. If you find that they have houses and fields at home, they will be confiscated. If the people in the yamen get your deed, others can sue them. Can they refuse this huge advantage? ?”
"What if no one files a complaint? Don't worry, I will discuss it with the Kaifeng Mansion later and reward the whistleblower with the confiscated property. With this stimulus, people all over the world will focus on those who pretend to be poor. A bastard is a hundred times better off than checking it out yourself!"
Liang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said in shock: "Sir, you are so shameless!"
