Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

In front of all the victims, Huo Yunchao glanced around at the people he had brought: "You are not only my subordinates in this disaster relief work, but also my face. If someone asks for benefits from the people during the transfer, I will make you lose everything and even lose your pants! If you perform well enough, I will definitely reward you based on your merits and will never let you work in vain! Do you hear me?"

The men responded in unison: "I heard it!"

Huo Yunchao smiled slightly and said: "Okay! Very good! Remember what I said! Your every move will be watched by hundreds of pairs of eyes, don't destroy your future!"

After receiving a loud response from his men, Huo Yunchao turned his attention to the onlookers: "Dear fellow villagers, what I said is not just talk. If there is conclusive evidence, it proves that my men pretended to be powerful and used people's power to fight. I am deceiving everyone in my name, so you must not believe it! I will never bully the people, let alone take advantage of the situation and embezzle the property of my fellow villagers!"

The vast majority of the victims were willing to believe what Huo Yunchao said. Huo Yunchao was very strict with his subordinates and hired government officials to serve as supervisors. He would only act against Huo Yunchao's instructions unless he had a problem in his head.

Huo Yunchao has seen too many dark sides of human nature. He will not be stupid enough to bet on the evil of human nature. He will save more people, accumulate virtue and do good for his wife and children, and hope that they will be safe and happy for the rest of their lives.

He had no intention of flaunting himself from the beginning. Seeing that the people enthusiastically supported what he said, Huo Yunchao smiled and said: "Dear fellow villagers, I have received a gift from your majesty. I will eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor." The meaning of this sentence is that I have taken the benefits given by your Majesty, so I try my best to help your Majesty protect the people. If you want to thank you, thank your Majesty! I am a poor person, and I really can’t afford everyone’s Wrong love!"

Huo Yunchao really didn't expect that he would be so supported by the people that they gave him a longevity card. He has always called on the people to follow and worship Emperor Yong'an, not only to protect himself, but also to surrender his name to Emperor Yong'an - Your Majesty, I will never He will do stupid things that will shock his master.

The common people looked at me and I looked at you, but they did not agree immediately because they recognized Ping Lehou!

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, how can it be as shocking to the common people as Pinglehou's personal practice?

Since the heavy rainstorm hit, Pinglehou has gone through ups and downs. In order to persuade the people to move their families, he has not hesitated to spread coins and use all kinds of coercion and inducement, just to let the people in the disaster area avoid the flood in advance.

Everything Pinglehou did was a good deed that was visible and tangible to the people.

The common people have a steelyard in their hearts, and the balance in their hearts is completely tilted towards Huo Yunchao.

Pinglehou could obviously sit in his mansion, drink tea and snacks, and enjoy the scene of the pouring rain. Pinglehou did not pursue pleasure, but did a lot of things that he could or could not do, and saved so many lives. Spend money to build safe and warm shelters for people in disaster areas.

After Huo Yunchao held a mobilization meeting, he ordered Jia Er and his entourage to start distributing money as usual: "Stacking sandbags and building fortresses is physical work. It not only consumes physical strength, but if it goes wrong, there may be an accident. Everyone will receive ten cents each first. After this wave of floods is withstood, I will give you ten more coins!"

It's not that Huo Yunchao is stingy and reluctant to spend money to hire people. The blame is that his family is too thin. It is quite difficult to get enough copper coins to pay off the wages in a short time.

Just when Huo Yunchao thought that the people were dissatisfied, he didn't know who shouted in the crowd: "I don't want wages! Building sandbags and building fortresses is to protect my home and land. Protecting my home is what a small person should do as a master. Things! How can we let Mr. Hou spend money?"

Someone made a good start, but one after another someone said that they did not want wages, and only hoped that Huo Yunchao could lead them to resist the flood and save their homes and fertile land!

Huo Yunchao's eyes were hot when he heard these words. He sniffed and said, "You guys really don't want wages?"

"do not want!"

The common people who had previously thought that they were too rich to be a bastard were moved to tears when they saw Huo Yunchao with their own eyes, and the regret that emerged from the bottom of their hearts disappeared immediately.

It's really... surprising that a noble man like Pinglehou would shed tears for a group of low-class people like them.

Corrupt officials are everywhere, and the people at the bottom are used to being submissive. The price they pay for resisting is too high, so they have to choose to pinch their noses and admit defeat.

Especially after being squeezed and humiliated by the previous county magistrates, the common people had already lost their blood. Suddenly seeing such a noble person of flesh and blood like Huo Yunchao, they felt an indescribable feeling.

Huo Yunchao's response was also very straightforward: "You don't want wages, and I won't let you work in vain! Jia Er, quickly take your wages back to the city to buy food!"

Jia Er agreed loudly, hugged the cash box and left quickly in front of everyone.

The common people swallowed their saliva and thanked each other: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for giving me food!"

They had long heard that Marquis Pingle was generous, but they didn't expect that he would exchange their wages for food!

The common people who had previously regretted not getting paid for their work were completely relieved of their grievances. If they went to buy food in their capacity, twenty cents would probably not buy much food.

The disaster was so serious that profiteers took the opportunity to sell grain at high prices. In order to grab a bite of food, the residents had to buy grain at high prices.

The wealth of the people at the bottom is already very thin. Two taels of silver is enough for a family of seven to live for a whole year.

However, at this special moment, the food purchased for two taels of silver was only enough to feed a family of seven for five days! It’s still an extremely frugal way of eating, and it can last for five days!

It's not that Magistrate Wang and Huo Yunchao don't want to take care of it, but they really don't have enough time to deal with profiteers who are driving up food prices.

Huo Yunchao saw that the people's reactions were not quite right, so he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Do you have anything to tell me?"

A strong man over forty years old raised his hand and wiped away tears at the end of the sentence: "Master Hou, profiteers are trying to make money for the country and are driving up the price of food. The price of food has soared to fifty cents per catty. The family of this little man has been cut off. …”

Huo Yunchao was very unhappy when he heard this. He turned around and asked Zhou Changxing: "Is this true? Who is the name of the profiteer? Where does he live? Where is the high-priced grain sold?"

In the past few days, Huo Yunchao wanted to split himself into eight pieces and use them. He was busy persuading the victims to relocate, blowing up embankments to release floods, and was busy with many other things. However, the people below him did not inform him about the hike in food prices.

Zhou Changxing did not dare to hide anything and told everything.

Huo Yunchao took a deep breath: "If the situation is true, I will definitely give you justice!"

He knows that there is no shortage of profiteers in every dynasty and generation who have made the country rich. In the past, he wanted to punish the profiteers but was unable to do so. Now he is powerful and willing to listen to the voices of the people at the bottom and cry out for fairness and justice on their behalf!
