I Became an Anonymous Boss

Although it has been reported several times, when the government came to dispatch and deal with it, it was a bit perfunctory, because there were no real dead people or massacred villages, and the affected villages were small villages, and most of the attackers were mountain people, although they were located in Tianfu Prefecture. In the vicinity, there are too many mountains around, and it is difficult to control the mountain people who depend on the mountains and the water. In previous years, the government would distribute a certain amount of food to keep the villagers food for the winter.

But this year, the prefect of Tianfu Prefecture went to the imperial capital to dereliction of duty three months ago. The new post of prefect is yet to be determined. It is not convenient for other officials to deal with it. When we were in the village, the looting bandits had already come three or four times, and the families with little surplus food had to find a way to survive this winter and plan to go to Tianfu Prefecture to sue.

The three of them followed along and arrived at Cijingzhai.

Jing Zhai here has free porridge to drink, even if it is just a bowl of rice soup, it can last for a day or two.

"The Great Qin Dynasty, what a prosperous age." Bai Taki's smile was unconsciously sarcastic.

Xiuyu lowered her head and didn't speak, just clenched her fists. She didn't quite understand why there are still people starving for the winter when the warehouse is full, the treasury is full, and the GDS is increasing every year?

This question was asked by Lan Xiangxue: "This kind of thing is obviously rare, but unexpectedly we encountered it near Tianfu Prefecture..."

"Is it rare?" Bai Taki shook his head and said, "I can tell you with certainty that such things happen every year when winter comes, and they happen all over Daqin, but they haven't brought much impact."

Lan Xiangxue froze.

"I was in the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty. I have seen beggars along the streets in the four famous cities. They were hungry and emaciated, and their voices were weak. Even the most prosperous cities cannot avoid this kind of beggars who starve to death in winter. Why do you think In some relatively backward counties, what happens to these people is a coincidence?" Bai Taki asked: "Of course not, in this era, there are always people who will go hungry in winter."

But... why?

Xiuyu looked at Baitaki with doubts in her eyes.

"Because the food was robbed." Shirataki said, "This is the most straightforward and simple reason."

Of course I know.

Xiuyu hesitated to speak - I want to ask why, not this, but...

She paused for a moment, as if she couldn't express her doubts correctly.

This is actually a simple logic chain, because the food was robbed, so people have to spend the winter hungry, so there are refugees.

But what she couldn't figure out wasn't this point, not this set of simple jungle laws, but she thought it was an accidental event, not the most common thing, but Shirataki asserted so, why was he so sure?

"Being able to have this kind of doubt proves that you have broken away from the perspective of ordinary people. This is very good, and it also benefits from the fact that you were born into the powerful class, but it is also because of this that you will not be able to figure it out." Shirataki said: " I can't say it's 'why not eat minced meat', but it's very close, it's a kind of looking at flowers through the fog. After all, you won't understand if I tell you alone, so let's take a closer look, this is my A social education lesson for you."

As he spoke, he walked behind the victims and climbed up the stairs.

Not far away, I saw many people squatting on the ground, drinking hot porridge. Among them, many children had flushed faces and gasped into their hands.

The adults lined up to wait for the kind-hearted porridge from Jingzhai. The nuns served the porridge deftly in front of them. They opened several large pots and cooked them at the same time. Bags of rice and water were poured into the pots. rice porridge.

It was rare for Shirataki not to use his nature as a prostitute, bypassing the team and coming to Jingzhai.

When a Taoist nun saw a group of three people, she proclaimed her Taoist name: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the three pilgrims look a little strange?"

"I'm new here, sorry for the trouble." Bai Taki said politely: "It's freezing cold, and after walking for a while, I wanted to find a place to rest, but I didn't meet any merchants along the way, and I didn't eat any hot food."

"So that's how it is. If you don't mind, please come to Jingzhai to have a vegetarian meal. It just so happens that there is also offering good porridge here." The Taoist nun was very enthusiastic.

"Then I will be disrespectful." Bai Taki followed the Taoist nun into the Jing Zhai, looked at the furnishings of the Jing Zhai, and at a glance he could see that the Jing Zhai must be run quite well, he pretended to be casual and said: "Your It is truly remarkable that Zhai can give porridge to the hungry villagers on this day."

"Master Zhai has a kind heart." The Taoist nun responded with a smile: "We can't see people who are hungry but remain indifferent."

"It's a good thing to have a kind heart, but that's not what I'm talking about," Shirataki said.

"Yes?"

"The ability to give porridge is the real skill." Bai Taki said with a smile: "I believe that this group of villagers will never forget the goodness of Jingzhai in the future. They will definitely come here to offer incense and ask for signatures when they have something on their minds. If Guijingzhai returns If there is any product to be promoted along with the trend, they will definitely accept it when they have a surplus, this is the principle of helping the needy and not helping the poor and the most precious human kindness."

The nun's footsteps stopped, and her eyes showed surprise. How could this young man be so holy that he could tell at a glance that he was doing charity business?

Bai Taki noticed the vigilance in the other party's eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't be too wary, I just feel it, and it looks familiar."

"So that's the case, the young master probably saw it elsewhere." Taoist put down her guard for a while: "But the young master seems to have misunderstood the intention..."

"I understand. Business is business, and favors are favors. No matter what you say, Jingzhai has helped them. A bowl of porridge can save many people. This is a good thing." Shirataki imitated: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

第220九章 魔榜第七

When they came to Jingzhai, the three of them also drank plain porridge, which was no different from the one outside, except that there were a few more dishes of pickles.

When Shirataki entered the door, he said something bluntly, which was not very polite.

But who told him to have a good attitude, to admit mistakes decisively, and to be good-looking, and once he called 'sister' twice, the Taoist nun stopped worrying about these trivial matters.

Some things are useless even if you see through them, not to mention that the charity Jing Zhai does is not a shady business.

Sitting down to drink porridge, the taste is neither salty nor bland, with pickled pickles shortlisted, the simplicity is nostalgic.

Xiuyu has no appetite, she looks outside from time to time, many people are drinking hot porridge in the cold wind, many of them are children of a few years old.

She sighed softly, with a rare expression of melancholy that worried about the country and the people.

Bai Taki joked: "I didn't expect you to have political ambitions? But I remember that Fanyue Valley doesn't care about the political situation, right?"

Xiuyu nodded - Fanyue Valley and the royal family do not interfere with each other, even if a woman from Fanyue Valley becomes a queen, only the harem is in charge.

Bai Taki said: "That's right, how can the court be as interesting as the world? You can see the swords and swords here, which is much better than the soft knives over there."

Xiuyu doesn't speak - but the scenery I see now is not the shadow of swords and swords.

Shirataki smiled: "It's because what you see is not Jianghu."

Xiuyu looked sideways—how should I say it?

Bai Taki asked: "Xue'er, tell me, if it is up to you to decide, how would you solve this problem?"

After thinking for a while, Lan Xiangxue said, "Draw out the sword and kill."

Bai Taki rested his cheeks and said in a joking tone: "At this time, if you go out and walk around in the crowd, you will find the elder of the village, the one with the exclamation mark on his head. Go talk to him and express the suffering of the people. He hinted that he almost knocked down a wild boar when he was ten years old, and after receiving the task later, he rode a horse with a sword in his hand to kill people, cut vegetables and cut melons Wushuang sneaked in, and then everything was fine, and everyone spent the winter happily."

He spread his hands: "Look, how straightforward? This is the simplest side plot task of 'removing harm for the people', right? Killing people is nothing more than a nod to the ground. Innately, I went to slaughter the bandits who looted the village and brought back the food." , not only get rid of the harm, but also earn a reputation, why not do it?"

Xiuyu lowered her brows - it's very simple, but this is not what I want.

"That's easy." Bai Taki continued: "We went to Tianfu Prefecture later, you revealed your identity and ended up as the princess of the Fanyue Valley Township, and threw a red card to the local county magistrate, forcing him to open a warehouse to release food. , handle these things well, at least these old and young people will not have to go hungry this winter, this wave, this wave is the victory of the feudal bureaucratic physique, you are already a master, and you don’t need to consider reckless ways to solve it.”

Xiuyu frowned - are you mocking me?

"No, this is indeed an effective and feasible method." Bai Taki said calmly: "Many people I know belong to the powerful class. The social conditions of the feudal system allow privileges to exist. What's more, you are doing good deeds. What can't be used?"

Xiuyu bowed her head and stopped talking, she turned her head away, hiding her expression, so that Bai Taki would not see it.

Bai Taki couldn't see and there was no interpreter, so he smiled and drank the porridge to himself, and when he turned around, he saw Lan Xiangxue was also in a daze thoughtfully.

"Still thinking about it?" Young Master Bai said softly, "Shall I give you a Mathematical Olympiad problem to refresh your mind?"

Lan Xiangxue was so startled that she almost dropped her chopsticks, immediately put aside all her thoughts, and ate her breakfast seriously.

As long as she was not asked to do math problems, she would be happy to be a warm-up maid for the young master.

……

At this moment, in the second-floor compartment of Jing Zhai, the woman quietly walked to the window on the other side, looking at the figure through a bamboo curtain, her eyes were sometimes tender and tender, and sometimes sad and helpless.

"Yu Xi Yu Xi Nai Ruo..." Tsing Yi murmured in a low voice.

"Girl." The Veterinarian coughed softly, "I'm still here."

"I know." The woman in Tsing Yi looked back: "Anyway, you will treat it as invisible."

Master Zhai nodded and said: "When I went down just now, I heard Taoist nun tell me about this young man in white. He could easily see through Jingzhai's business philosophy. He is not a simple person, so I also pretended to be casual. After listening, he said something interesting."

"What's interesting?" Tsing Yi became more interested.

"About the disaster victims." Sailor repeated Shirataki's statement.

"You think what he said is wrong?" Tsing Yi asked flatly.

"No, this is very straightforward and decisive. It is in line with the thinking of people in the Jianghu, and it is not lacking in the pragmatism of the market." Zhaizhu said: "The first method cuts the mess quickly, and the second method is slightly roundabout, but it is not bad. Both are fine. Solved this urgent need."

"Superficial." The woman in Tsing Yi glanced at the master: "Your understanding is not enough."

"Oh?" The Veterinarian was not angry either: "I would like to hear more about it."

"These two solutions, one corresponds to the Jianghu people, one corresponds to the powerful, one corresponds to force, and the other corresponds to power." The woman in Tsing Yi said: "Thinking about it from another angle, the two solutions he mentioned are actually two solutions. Classes, the common people and the bureaucratic class, if people in the Jianghu can use force to solve it; while the rich and powerful rely on pressure from power and status to solve it, then this problem itself is not a big problem, right? "

"Yes." The Veteran nodded.

"Then why do these people still have to be hungry?" Tsing Yi pointed to the long queue.

The fasting master was dumb.

"Because people in the Jianghu are not willing to do this kind of dangerous coolie without earning a reputation." Tsing Yi said indifferently: "People in the Jianghu are too shrewd, and most of the [-]% of the knights are for fame. Compared with such trivial matters, if you want to practice and prove the Tao, think about breaking through the sky, and become the god who looks at the world with cold eyes, who would look down at the road with his eyes higher than the top."

She sneered sarcastically: "My son is not saying that Jianghu chivalry can solve the problem, on the contrary, if it can solve the problem, it will not be delayed until now. Are there fewer people from the Jianghu who come and go along the way? Not at all, but Who cares? It’s just that they avoid it when they feel uncomfortable in their hearts, and they don’t want to go into this muddy water, mainly because they have nothing to do with themselves, so they can hang up high.”

Tsing Yi said: "Chivalry? Morality? It's extremely useless... This can only be used to restrain oneself, not others."

The Veterinarian had no choice but to say, "The girl herself is also a member of the Jianghu."

"It is precisely because I am that I say that chivalry is unreliable." Tsing Yi said decisively.

"That son is unreliable?"

"..." Tsing Yi was silent, and after glaring at Master Zhai, she said again: "I withdraw my preface, not because of my lack of chivalry, but because of my lack of chivalry."

Zhaizhu laughed, this girl is too cute, she is so smart, but she is surprisingly easy to understand in this respect: "The girl said that the world is unreliable, so what about the government? In the past, it was used to relieve disasters, and it was really useful, but Something went wrong this year..."

The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head: "I don't know how to be an official, but this is by no means a mistake, but a problem with the way of handling it."

……

"Something went wrong?" Lan Xiangxue asked in a low voice, "Isn't it right to send out food for disaster relief?"

"Yes, if it's a natural disaster, you can help, but it's a man-made disaster." Bai Taki said lightly, "It's only twenty miles away from Tianfu Prefecture, but there are still looting by mountain people, which proves that the government has always been Now tacitly acquiescing to this kind of behavior, it is said that raising tigers is a danger, and the acquiescence of the government has caused looting to become commonplace, and asking for food every winter has become natural and risk-free, and the people dare not speak out."

"So it got worse year by year, and it accumulated over time. Sooner or later, the behavior of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause will break out, and now is the result. The mountain people are no longer mountain people but become bandits. Maybe the first time they robbed food because they would starve to death if they didn't. , and now they take it for granted, and whoever has the biggest fist is right, thinking that there is government food relief anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you grab more.”

"They can pretend to be harmless civilians on weekdays, but they may turn into criminals with claws and claws at any time. They run rampant in all towns and villages. They are a lawless and violent criminal group. Do you think how many people can be supported by the food for so many years? Haven't you already secretly negotiated with someone to make your troops strong? In the end, it will form a cancer that is difficult to eradicate, completely out of control, and become an armed group of criminals." Bai Taki put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I dare not say that my guess is absolutely correct , but if I'm not wrong, maybe the other party's next target..."

"That's it."

Horseshoes flew from far to near, and there was a commotion in front of Cijingzhai.

The villagers heard the movement, looked back, and saw the eighty riders from far to near, and their hearts were chilled.

Muramasa murmured: "How could it be, why did they come back here and want to drive everyone to death?!"

The man on the side grabbed Muramasa's hand: "Quick, hurry up and hide in the Jingzhai!"

Muramasa wryly smiled and said, "There are so many people? How do you hide..."

He understood from the bottom of his heart that the thieves on the opposite side were no longer the hungry mountain people who were forced to rob food. They were all tall and tall, and they had changed their weapons over the years. How could ordinary people fight?The girls in Jingzhai are all ordinary people, and they are not immortal masters. How can they have the ability to break through hundreds of armors with a single sword?
