Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House
Chapter 859: Money is lifeblood
Mr. Cao is a moderate figure in his hometown.
The family has nearly a thousand acres of fertile sloping land, an oil mill, and two shops, and their lives are very prosperous.
As a result, Beirong called.
He could only take his wife, children, old and young children, rolled up gold, silver, and everything valuable that could be taken away, and followed the large army to start fleeing.
At first he wanted to go to Hedong, where his father-in-law's home is.
Later, I heard that the capital was taking in refugees, and they had food, drink, and work.
And Hadong is not safe.
It was said that Beirong might call at any time.
The most important thing is that the father-in-law's family is already in charge of the family. Their family, young and old, a dozen or so people escaped, fearing that they would be looked down upon.
After a lot of weighing, Mr. Cao decided to follow the large army and continue southward to the refugee resettlement site in the capital, where he settled down in the shack.
The conditions in the shack area are very poor, and only basic food, drink and accommodation can be guaranteed.
Mr. Cao lived very aggrievedly.
But he still insisted on living in the shack.
Why?
To save money of course.
There is a place to live for nothing, why spend money to rent a house?
Don't you need money to rent a house? Don't you need money for meals?
When I escaped from disaster, the money I carried on my body was just in case, and it was also for a comeback in the future, not for enjoyment.
Moreover, if a family is large, if they rent a house, they must not only rent one room, but at least three rooms.
If you rent a house, you have to buy some belongings, such as a coal stove for cooking, cooking utensils, tableware and so on.
But today...
Just now, the two embroidered guards caught people defecating everywhere and made some rude remarks. The whole process was watched by Mr. Cao and his family.
Because the shack where their family lives is nearby.
The two embroidered guards left and the crowd dispersed.
Master Cao scolded his wife and children,
Go back to your shack.
His face was ugly.
Back in the shack, a dozen or so people from the whole family looked at him.
Everyone held back their words, but no one dared to speak first.
Master Cao has supreme authority at home, and no one dares to challenge it.
The atmosphere is dull.
It was his wife Cao Xu who broke the silence.
Master, will there really be an epidemic?
The eldest son whispered, So many people live in shacks, eating and drinking, I think it will be a matter of time before the epidemic occurs.
Then what should we do? Cao Xu exclaimed.
The whole family looked at Master Cao, waiting for Master Cao to make a decision.
Master Cao is also frowning.
Tens of thousands of people live in shacks, and the court can't ignore them.
The imperial court is in charge! We eat and drink every day, and the imperial court provides it for free. The shacks are all repaired by people from the resettlement site.
To be honest, the shacks in the refugee resettlement site are much better than the shacks of the refugees outside the Nancheng Gate back then.
Back then, the refugee shacks were all built by the refugees themselves. They were messy, crooked, leaking wind and rain, and might collapse at any time.
The shacks in the refugee settlements are all uniformly designed and built. Using moso bamboo and sun-dried rice straw, it is durable and easy to disassemble.
It's just airtight.
As soon as the weather warms up, all kinds of bugs come out.
It is said that because the shack area was built hastily, there was not enough time to dry the ground.
In order to save time, we can only start building the shack directly on the ground.
Wet ground, coupled with straw and wheat stalks, is the most likely to breed all kinds of bugs.
Snapped!
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family slapped the child on the leg, startling the whole room.
The whole family stared at her.
Especially Mr. Cao, with fire-breathing eyes.
The eldest daughter-in-law felt aggrieved and fearful, she spread her hands, and there were green stains on her hands, There are insects crawling on Dabao's legs.
Mrs. Cao Xu gouged out her daughter-in-law and disturbed the family spirit.
The eldest son of the Cao family said cautiously: Father, the weather is getting hotter. In summer, the smell of the shanty town... What Embroidered Yiwei said is not unreasonable. In case of a disease, our family, don't we? Are you going to die here? My son heard that once an epidemic occurs, no matter whether they are infected or not, they will all be locked up and not allowed to leave alone.
Cao Xu was so frightened that he let out a cry, The head of the family, the family's field, house, shop... our family can't die here.
The eldest son of the Cao family said again: My son heard that there are only a few thousand people living in the concrete houses on the side of the official road. It is very clean and the roads are paved with cement. There are also various shops. My son is strong and skilled. , Give my son a little money, and he can open the oil mill. The oil squeezed out can be sold directly to the people in the resettlement site. With the oil mill, our family will have income, and we don’t have to worry about sitting on the mountain.”
Mrs. Cao Xu nodded again and again, The boss, what the boss said makes sense. Living in a shack is not a long-term solution. What if this battle cannot be finished in three to five years? Do you want to live in a shack for three years? Five years?
The whole family looked at Master Cao eagerly.
Master Cao pinched his waist subconsciously, there was gold and silver hidden in the padded jacket.
Under the expectant eyes of the whole family, he announced: The boss went to the other side of the official road to find a house, and he can only rent two rooms. The whole family lives in a crowded place.
Two houses, where can I live?
The daughter-in-law secretly expresses her dissatisfaction.
The eldest son of the Cao family hurriedly agreed, fearing that it would be too late and his father would change his mind again.
Ask again to find out what kind of business there is. A family, young and old, can't count on the softness of gold and silver to sit and eat. Whether it's a coolie, an oil mill, or a daughter-in-law who goes to a military uniform factory to do needlework, in short, there must be a Make a living. Let me say the ugly things first, and I won’t spend a penny after the rent is removed. The money for food and drink is all earned by yourself. If you can’t earn money, you’ll go hungry.”
Regardless of whether you will be hungry in the future, being able to move out of the shack and live in a spacious and bright concrete room is something to be happy about.
The eldest son of the Cao family stood up, I'm going to rent a house.
The eldest daughter-in-law said excitedly, I'll pack my luggage.
On the same day, the Cao family rented two large single rooms.
When the eldest son of the Cao family was renting a house, he played a trick.
He only found out when he was renting a house that single rooms were divided into different sizes.
The small one is as big as a shack, and if you press down a bed, a cabinet, and a table, it is difficult to turn around in the remaining space.
The big single room is as big as three or four shacks.
Since the father pays the rent, he only rents two rooms, of course he rents the single room with the largest area.
In the evening of the same day, the family made a registration, the doctor checked and confirmed that there was no disease, and moved into the cement house smoothly.
There are rows of concrete houses, all of which are two-story small buildings with independent doors and courtyards.
Each set of two-story small buildings has its own kitchen, toilet and bathroom. Compared with the conditions in the shack area, it is like a luxury mansion.
The whole Cao family is very satisfied with the conditions of the cement house, except Master Cao with a gloomy face.
Because the rent exceeded his expectations.
He thought that a single room cost only 100 yuan a month.
However, the single room they rent costs 450 yuan a month. Two rooms are nine hundred words.
Just renting a house for a month would cost nearly a tael of silver, and Mr. Cao was so distressed that his heart throbbed.
One tael of silver, how much grain would he have to sell to earn it back.
spendthrift!
Just know how to spend money.
He locked his money in a box with the key next to him.
From now on, except for the rent, it would be a delusion to let Tao Yiwen pay him.
...
Zhao Minfa and Huang Qubing, one represents the four seas, and the other represents the Shaofu.
In order to resettle the refugees, the two of them were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground every day, and the corners of their mouths were blistered.
It was dark, and the day passed.
Finally able to sit back, relax and relax.
After taking a bite of food, the blisters in his mouth were stimulated, and Huang Qubing grinned his teeth in pain, saying that he couldn't bear it.
Zhao Minfa laughed when he saw this.
If Mr. Huang can't stand the pain, why not go back to Wenqing Bookstore, or ask the Shaofu to send someone else over.
Pooh!
Huang Qubing took a mouthful of water.
Who said I can't bear hardships?
Zhao Minfa flipped through the problem summary sheet while eating.
He said to Huang Qubing: Young Master Huang, you'd better eat something, otherwise you won't be able to sleep when you wake up hungry in the middle of the night, and you won't have the energy to do things tomorrow.
The corners of Huang Qubing's mouth were covered with blisters, and eating was like being tortured.
He knew it was impossible not to eat.
I could only endure the pain and barely ate a few mouthfuls.
Zhao Minfa eats very fast. No matter how painful his mouth is or how tired his body is, he will never miss any meal, and he will eat it clean.
The experience of not being full when I was a child was too profound.
So much so that there is always a sense of guilt if the food is in front of you.
He quickly finished the last few mouthfuls, then took the problem summary sheet and said to Huang Qubing: Three urgent problems. One is to build more latrines, and the other is to build more water wells. Third, I suggest that all refugees Learn health and safety instructions.
Huang Qubing drank cold water to cool down the pain in his mouth, and asked, What happened?
Zhao Minfa said: Because of the water problem, quarrels and fights occur frequently every day, and there is a trend of intensification. If it is not controlled, large-scale regional fighting is likely to occur. In addition, the problem of open defecation is becoming more and more serious. According to reports, the number of latrines is in short supply, and the queue time is too long, so many people solve it directly on the spot.
Huang Qubing nodded, Then build more wells and dig more latrines.
Zhao Minfa continued: Many refugees have no idea of hygiene at all. They always think that if they are not at home, they can mess around. It is spring now, and the weather is not too hot. It is not serious. If it is still like this in summer, it is extremely dangerous. Diseases may occur.
Also, there are many people who drink unboiled water. The doctor said that there are already patients with diarrhea and abdominal pain. If it is not controlled, more and more people will have diarrhea and abdominal pain, which will lead to epidemics.
Huang Qubing looked serious, It seems that we were too soft-hearted before. The embroidery guards are short of manpower, so we can only rely on ourselves. Eunuch Zhao, can you send a group of guards from all over the world, preferably those who have been exiles in Xinmin County The group of people who worked in the shack area have rich experience and know how to discipline refugees. I will also send a group of guards from the Princess Mansion to help.
Zhao Minfa was straightforward, I will go to Xiaozhu overnight to ask my wife for instructions. Try to send more people over here.
