Seize the mud swallow's mouth, peel the iron needle, scrape the golden Buddha's face and search carefully, but you can't find anything. The quail's crop is for peas, the egret's leg is chopped for fine meat, the mosquito's abdomen is scraped for fat...
This is talking about people like Hu Si.
As long as you give him a little bit of face, he will definitely try his best to scrape some oil from your face.
Wanyan Kang stood up and clasped his hands behind his back, the smile on his face not diminishing, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Young Master must be a noble person in the capital. It is probably the Young Master who has the final say in Anguo Temple's relief work..."
Hu Si subconsciously glanced at the wolf-like armored soldiers on the side, and said with a charming smile: "We have a small request, I wonder if you can..."
"There's no point beating around the bush, just say it directly."
Hu Si bowed his head and cupped his hands: "Most of us used to serve in the township bureau, and we worked as lizheng, and there were quite a few household heads. Master, I see that there are more and more victims. There will definitely be more in the next few days. Sign up."
I'm afraid that just relying on the officers and soldiers to do work and distribute food... so..."
Hu Si hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "So it is better for us to assist the army and take care of these victims, so as to share the worries of the young master. We guarantee safety, who dares to cause trouble and refuse to listen to the instructions, even though we are the only ones asking...
…”
I went and actually came to ask for an official?!
Sure enough, he is a scoundrel and a ruffian. He truly proves the saying that the humblest person is invincible.
If the hard one doesn’t work, why should we use the soft one? Use both soft and hard methods?
In Wanyan Kang's heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses roared past.
However, instead of getting angry, he smiled.
These bitches were probably used to bullying people in their hometown and running rampant in the countryside. They were also lazy and lazy. Seeing that they were young, they thought they were easy to trick, so they couldn't start a fire, so they started thinking like this again.
When you become an "official", you can at least work less and eat more.
Wishful thinking is a thief!
Wanyan Kang really wanted to kick this guy to death, but instead he smiled with a smile on his face, clapped his hands, and looked at Hu Sidao quietly: "It turns out that you were all government officials... you were fed by the yamen, which is quite good.
Yes, there are many disaster victims and they need people to manage them. What you said is quite reasonable."
Hu Si was ecstatic: "Thank you so much, sir!"
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Wanyan Kang pursed his lips slightly and said, "I was actually planning to do this. Since you brought it up, I'll just make it known today... The young and strong victims will be divided into groups of ten, or groups of hundreds, with team leaders.
There will be one team leader each to assist the officers and soldiers in managing the victims. As for you, whether you should be team leader or team leader, or whether you are qualified or not, is not my decision, it is up to everyone."
"Group freely, form your own groups, form teams, and then publicly elect the leader."
Hu Si's face went numb.
Public elections? Who among the disaster victims is willing to hang out with them?
If they are grouped together by themselves, what's the point!
"There is one more thing. This is very important. Please listen clearly."
"This work-for-relief program implements a work-point system, in which work points are exchanged for rations. Detailed rules will be released tomorrow. Team leaders and captains do not have any privileges. They eat, live and work with everyone, and work points are recorded according to the amount of labor."
"Of course, your work will not be in vain. Every five days, the team leader or team leader will record a corresponding reward. The reward can be exchanged for an additional ration for a family member. The reward can only be used for my family members..."
Hu Si lowered his head in despair and rolled away angrily.
Most of them are single, with wives, children, and so on. Some starve to death, and some are simply abandoned by them in their hometowns. This extra reward is of no use to them.
…
Liang Zirong smiled bitterly and said: "This group of victims is a mixed bag, and many of them have evil intentions. They are afraid that the young prince's hard work today will be wasted after all..."
Wanyan Kang sighed: "I know."
Liang Ziweng was stunned: Then you are still wasting your breath?
Wan Yankan patted Liang Ziwen on the shoulder: "It won't help even if you talk for a long time. It's like beating Sun Wangcai. Hu Si will still be tempted... It's useless."
"But there are things that should be done and things that should be said... If people like Hu Si will cause trouble sooner or later, they will still be killed if they should be killed, but..."
"It's better to talk about it from the beginning than to punish it without teaching."
"Old Grand Master, I am definitely not a woman's benevolent person. I know better than you that in troubled times, we should use heavy rules. When facing such a group of victims, thunderous methods are indispensable!"
"However, there are so many people like Hu Si and Sun Wangcai in the world, and there are even more people among the victims. You can't kill them one by one. Then you will find that they will be killed endlessly..."
"So, I am just taking this opportunity, using the majesty of the officers and soldiers like Chixi, and using the old master's unique skills to intimidate them, to give them a warning, and I just want to have peace of mind. As for whether it has any effect, that is their business.
"
"This is just like the little monk Juekong chanting sutras. Do you think that if he really believes in a few rebirth mantras, the few fish you eat will be able to be reborn in the bliss of the West? I don't think so."
"And those scholars and literati who go to clubs and brothels to have fun, why do they like to fall in love with prostitutes? Don't they understand that if they don't give them lots of money, they won't even give up their fingers?
Touching? It’s nothing more than… just to comfort yourself.”
Wanyan Kang spoke very quickly.
Liang Ziweng was immediately confused.
The young prince's thinking jumped from disaster victims to young monks, and from young monks to prostitutes, disaster relief... chanting sutras... and prostitutes. His thinking was very confusing. He was obviously confused, but he felt that it made sense?
Wanyan Kang glanced at the old grandmaster who was completely intimidated by him, and suddenly felt great!
It's actually a bit of a relief.
The reason why he lied to Liang Ziwen with such nonsense was just a superficial appearance. In essence, it was to cover up some complex emotions deep in his heart.
"If someone makes trouble, just kill them", "Kill one person to serve as a warning", "No matter how many untouchables die, it's not a pity"... At this moment, this logic is not necessarily wrong, and may even have obvious effects.
But considering the civilization and education he received in the past, he cannot accept it for the time being, but he is unable to change it.
So all he can do is "Some things should be done, and some things should be said." This is true for disaster relief, and it is also true for Cai Cai.
Seeing countless people starving to death, he couldn't do it.
So we have to do something, even if we can save one person.
As for Hu Si and others, although they are detestable, shameful and detestable, at least for now, their crimes are not punishable by death.
This is the biggest difference between him and this world as a time traveler.
He waved his hand, and Chi Xi hurriedly came over and clasped his fists: "Young prince!"
"Send people to keep an eye on these gangsters. If they dare to cause trouble again..." Wanyan Kang turned his back and his voice became cold: "Then we will kill them without mercy!"
At this moment, he knew in his heart that as time passed, his heart would become harder and harder.
Of course he will insist on some things, but at the same time he must give up some things. If he cannot adapt to the rules and cruelty of this world, he will not be able to survive.
