Chapter 120 I seem to have discovered a big secret
The entrance to this igloo is very low, which is not very friendly to someone with a stout figure like Changsun Wuji, but he can still climb in with difficulty.
"The whole family lives here, the house is a bit messy, and there is no place to sit, which makes the noble man laugh-"
The old man smiled sheepishly, probably thinking of moving a stool for Changsun Wuji, but then he rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
Now that we are living outside, there are no stools anywhere, so it would be nice for the family to have a place to stay and avoid the cold.
But he didn't know the shock in Changsun Wuji's heart at this moment.
This igloo is not big, and can only accommodate four or five people. Although it is far from warm as the old man said, it is indeed much warmer than I imagined.
Living in a place like this, if you live in a crowded place, you can barely survive.
"You usually just stay here by yourself?"
Changsun Wuji glanced at the thin bedding spread on the hay and asked deliberately.
"No, usually my wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson are all here. It's warmer if we squeeze in. Poor people don't have that much attention..."
Changsun Wuji heard the words and nodded gently. In this situation, it was just a matter of luck that he could survive, so there was nothing he could do about it.
"Where are the rest of your family?"
Changsun Wuji asked seemingly unintentionally.
As soon as he talked about this, the skinny old man became energetic and even his eyes shone a little.
"They are all busy going to work. My son and daughter-in-law are helping in the coal mine, and they can get ten work points a day. My grandson and my wife are helping in the kitchen, and they can also get five or six work points a day. Little old man
He used to be a carpenter at Zhuangzi, but now with a few apprentices, he can earn more than a dozen work points a day..."
"Work points?"
Changsun Wuji directly grasped the sensitive points.
Generally, helpers receive copper coins or rice grains. What are the work points?
"Well, work points are earned when you work. We don't support idlers here. Everyone has to earn their own work points. Young people have young jobs, and old people have old jobs..."
We are not begging, we are supporting ourselves!
When he talked about supporting himself, the old man's voice became obviously louder.
"What's the use of this work point?"
Changsun Wuji saw that the old man was trying to go further and further, so he quickly brought the topic back.
"Work points are very useful. You have to use work points to pay for daily food and clothing. If you have any leftovers, you can even exchange them for new bedding for your family——"
Having said this, the old man straightened his back quite proudly.
"The old man's family has been busy these days and has almost saved up enough work points for a quilt..."
When he said this, the old man's eyes sparkled.
Changsun Wuji was calm on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart. Who is presiding over this matter? This is the talent of the prime minister!
No, even the prime minister cannot do this!
This arrangement, which seems cold-blooded and ruthless, requires everyone, regardless of gender or age, to do the work they can, but it gives these victims a new start in life and allows them to see the hope of getting better and better through their own labor.
What is the most difficult thing about disaster relief?
It is not about giving them something to eat so that they can survive this winter, but it is about allowing them to survive this winter while giving them the hope of living and the dignity of living.
What a talent!
Unexpectedly, when I went to Dongshan, I would find such a rural sage.
What a blessing.
Once such a person is brought to one's side, it will be an absolute help and the future is boundless.
"Do you know who is in charge of things here?"
When he mentioned this, the old man's eyes suddenly showed respect.
"It's Mr. Ma Zhouma——"
Ma Zhou?
Changsun Wuji secretly wrote down this name.
After meeting Wang Zi'an later, I went to see him. It was really too unfair for such a talent to be left in the countryside and do such menial work.
After coming out of the snow huts of these refugees, Changsun Wuji asked briefly and walked towards the hillside.
With so many people gathered there, it was impossible to hide it from the refugees. Although they did not dare to go up and take a look, they knew that many people were busy up there, and a lot of materials had been sent inside recently.
When he reached the bottom of the mountain, Changsun Wuji was stopped by a group of young men with solemn expressions, holding standard weapons and wearing blue shorts.
"This is private property, and no one else is allowed to enter!"
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but frown. With his eyes, he could easily see at a glance that these people were holding weapons of the Imperial Army.
When was the army stationed here?
Looking at this energetic man, he still looks like an elite member of the army, but he is still wearing plain clothes.
"Go and tell the person in charge that someone from Changsun's family is visiting."
The eldest grandson’s family?
Several young men immediately looked at each other, and their expressions softened a lot.
Who in this capital doesn’t know the name of the Changsun family?
The eldest son of the family, Sun Wuji, was worshiped as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and was the founder of the three divisions. The Duke of Qi was the most favored minister of His Majesty, the eldest brother of the current Queen, and his reputation was unique in the court.
"Okay, please wait here for a moment, I'll send the message right away -"
When Li Junxian got the news, he was very surprised. Why did the eldest son's family come here?
After he inquired about Lai's appearance in detail, his heart suddenly shuddered and he hurried down the mountain to welcome him.
"I have met Changsun Shang..."
"Xiao Li, there's no need to be so polite. My eldest son, Shang, is just an ordinary steward in the eldest grandson's house——"
Before Li Junxian could finish speaking, Changsun Wuji directly stopped Li Junxian's words. Empress Changsun had mentioned these matters between Wang Zi'an and His Majesty to him as interesting things, so she naturally knew that His Majesty and Li Junxian were now I envy the status of these people in Wang Zi'an's place.
Li Junxian:......
Boss, is the practice of changing your name anonymously popular among you now?
Poor Prince An!
Li Junxian complained silently in his heart, sympathized with Wang Zi'an, and happily got out of the way.
"That's fine, the eldest grandson is in charge, please——"
After turning around the mountain col, Changsun Wuji was once again shocked by the scene in front of him.
On a hillside in front of me, dozens of young people in Tsing Yi were riding on a pair of huge wooden clogs, galloping across the snow. Occasionally they would pull out the swords behind their backs and make chopping movements. Some even
He can also shoot an arrow with a bow in a moment, and the whole set of movements is like flowing clouds and flowing water.
This is!
Changsun Wuji's eyes widened instantly. Is this the trump card that His Majesty secretly trained?
With his eyes, he could instantly see the terrifying role of this army.
If placed in Mobei, where the snow is now knee-deep, these people would probably be a terrifying killing beast.
Across Mobei, who can stop me?
Could this be the reason why His Majesty, against all opinions, insists on holding on to a strong wall and clearing the country?
Hold on, show the enemy weakness, and then send out surprise troops to attack Jieli's lair?
Hiss - it's so terrifying, His Majesty's intentions are becoming more and more unfathomable!
