"The whole meaning is that you want to clear the slums in Xiaoqing?"

I don't know how long it took, Wei Tan came back to his senses and said in shock: "This is not a small problem. First of all, it's the people. Where are you going to move them? And those beggars, the slums are their main gathering place." If there is no slum area, they will not even have shelter from the wind and rain, and they will all be reduced to the streets. This will not only affect your growing reputation among the people, but may also cause more criminal accidents such as theft. Are you sure you're right?"

He didn't deny that Liangliang might really have the financial resources to buy the entire slum area of ​​Dongwai City, but buying it wasn't the most difficult problem, the problem was the follow-up resettlement work, if one trouble was not good, all the good reputation he had accumulated through hard work would be lost buried.

"Xiaotan is right, Liangliang, do you think about it again?"

Murong An frowned slightly, agreeing with Wei Tan's statement. He Rong thought for a while and asked tentatively: "I heard that you have been paying attention to the new city recently. Could it be that you want to move all the people to the new city?" But now the people left behind are people who can’t even pay for the most basic house-changing expenses, and some are lazy, just waiting to take advantage of it. of."

After all, He Rong was born and raised here, and he knows more about all aspects of the imperial city than Wei Tan and the others. In addition, Pei Yuanfeng told her about Shen Liang's movements, so she naturally guessed it right, but Well, she obviously underestimated Shen Liang's financial resources. It is impossible to empty out his private treasury for such a thing.

"You really intend to do that?"

Hearing this, Wei Tan's eyebrows frowned even tighter, but Xiao Zhuozi patted him on the shoulder as usual and said, "Well, old Wei, when did you see that Liang Liang made a loss-making business? Worried that he was wasting his expression, let's listen. What exactly is he going to do?"

From the time they first worked together to the present, a few years have passed, Xiang Zhuo's trust in Shen Liang is not blind, but the facts have indeed proved that Shen Liang has lived up to his trust.

"That's right, we were in a hurry."

After he said it, Wei Tan and Murong An also loosened their frowning brows. At the same time, they also found that Shen Liang's expression had not changed from the beginning to the end, so they were even more sure that Xiao Zhuozi was right again. worry is unnecessary.

"Finally it's my turn?"

Turning his eyes, Shen Liang's eyes were full of ridicule, Wei Tan rolled his eyes angrily: "No one is covering your mouth to prevent you from speaking, Liang Liang, did you do it on purpose?"

I have to tease them every time, and I don't get tired of it.

"That's it."

Shen Liang didn't deny it, who made them feel warm in his heart every time they looked worried, this feeling was too addictive.

"Xiao An, Rong Rong, let's go back and let him sing a one-man show slowly by himself."

"Farewell, old Wei, we haven't talked about business yet."

Wei Tan was about to get up, but Shen Liang quickly stopped him, and shook his head with a smile: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, let's talk about business, about the relocation of slum areas, Rong Rong said well, I really intend to let the poor People with houses and household registrations in the district will be relocated to the new city, but this project is too huge, and we may not be able to do it in two or three months alone. I plan to cooperate with the imperial court. Don't look at me so surprised. Although I am Empress, but the imperial court is not our husband and wife's private property. Brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly. These things must be clearly distinguished, but I will definitely not be polite if I can use them.

Before that, I have asked Jing Zhaoyin to count which people only need to pay the replacement fee, and which people need to pay the fee for the excess area. The specific amount should be calculated by the Ministry of Industry in two days. This part of the cost will be borne by us, people just need to move into the new house. Of course, I also know that the investment in the early stage is a bit high, so I discussed it with Prime Minister Lan. As compensation, the imperial court will soon complete the new city All the shops on that street will be leased to us for free for one year. At the same time, when the people in the slums are evacuated, the Ministry of Industry will tear down all the buildings in the slums and re-plan to build new shops and houses, completely connecting the inner and outer cities and the new city, and wait until the slums are built. Well, we can choose a street as the final compensation for the initial investment, and we don’t need to pay any fees. Prime Minister Lan and I have already agreed on this matter, and we just need to sign a formal agreement with the imperial court. What do you think? "

For him and the imperial court, this matter is a steady profit business. The demolition and reconstruction of slums will not only promote the prosperity of the imperial city, but also promote the further vitality of the economy. It will indeed be very big, but it will not hinder their work. When the slum area is rebuilt, the value of a whole street of shops will be immeasurable in terms of the location there. The house is dilapidated, living in it may face life-threatening problems at any time, and the hearts of the people won will be something that no money can buy.

"Um……"

No one present is stupid. After he said, they all thought of what they should think of. After touching his chin and thinking for a while, Wei Tan nodded and said: "The problem of the people has indeed been solved, and whether it is for us or the court For the common people, this is a win-win situation, but what about the beggars who have no houses? When the slums are demolished and rebuilt, they will lose their shelter from the wind and rain."

As far as he knew, there were not a small number of beggars and tramps in the imperial city, and they had to be properly arranged.

"Old Wei, you haven't forgotten what we are going to do, have you?"

Shen Liang covered his mouth and chuckled twice, then withdrew his smile and said seriously: "Xia Guo doesn't want Qin Guo, so we don't need us to give alms every day, but what we have done before, such as introducing jobs to the common people, collecting what the rich don't want Exchange clothes and other things into money to buy cotton and linen to make clothes and quilts and distribute them to beggars and homeless people, and even poor people can continue. Of course, raising money is no exception. According to the previous rules, people who donate large sums Specially write a sign of thanks and put it in the shop, so that they can earn a relatively good reputation. There are also problems such as the difficulty of seeing a doctor for the common people. We must solve them comprehensively. The emperor said that in order to convince the common people, he will personally Write an inscription for us."

Speaking of this, Shen Liang stopped to take a breath before continuing to speak in detail: "Freedom Hall, this is the name I named for the shop we will open next. The Freedom Hall is mainly divided into five parts. The first The first part is to find suitable jobs for the people who are willing to come to register. We have already done this very maturely in Qin State, so I won’t go into details. The second part is recycling clothes, as I said just now. The third part is to open a free pharmacy and hire doctors to give free pulse consultations to the people. It is still the same as before, such as the treatment of common diseases such as typhoid fever. The fourth part belongs to the logistics department, which is responsible for integrating various resources. Evaluate and supervise the implementation of funds, etc. For example, if someone has a serious disease, the medicine in the pharmacy cannot be free, and the people have no money, and we can’t just watch them die. Sick people are really unable to pay the high medical expenses, they can ask the Freedom Church to pay for it, or initiate a fundraising, according to the actual situation at the time, as for the fifth part, their work is mainly to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, we can’t just Looking forward to donations from others, we must also make good use of the money donated by rich households, and buy Zhuangzi or shops for self-sufficiency. Generally speaking, what the Freedom Church does is similar to what we do in Qin, the only difference is, We no longer have to give daily alms."

Don't look at what he said as if it was similar to what he did before, but the details are different from before. All of them are recorded in the plan he wrote. Wei Yue has already read it. Read it carefully during the brief introduction.

"Well, your plan is already very detailed, I don't see anything else that needs to be added, but Liangliang, this doesn't solve all the problems caused by beggars in the slums, let alone we are wandering for those good beggars Han explained how long it would take to work. Most of them are old people, children and people who have lost the ability to work. It is impossible to find a job suitable for them. If it is forced to others, it will be nothing like killing a chicken difference."

They couldn't find anything wrong with his plan, but there was something lacking in that.

"Of course I have thought about this issue. Originally, this was the sixth part of the Freemaid Hall, but the Emperor and Prime Minister Lan asked me to remove it after learning about it. The Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of it. My It means to build an old home for the elderly and the disabled who have lost the ability to work and have no children or relatives to take care of them, gather them together, let them accompany and take care of each other, and arrange a few people to take care of them. The expenses are paid by the imperial court. In this way, the problem of the disabled elderly will be solved. As for the children, isn’t my small army already showing its size? Most of the remaining beggars are able to work, and some may not be able to use their brains. Unresponsive, we can leave them to do some odd jobs in the Freedom Hall, and contact various shops and Zhuangzi to find jobs for them, won’t this matter be perfectly resolved?”

In order to arrange them properly, try to build an imperial city without beggars and tramps, and truly make everyone rich, in just a few days, he racked his brains and finally finalized the case.

"Well, the idea of ​​the old disabled home is really good. The court's responsibility can also prevent some people from deliberately abandoning the elderly or disabled people. Let's decide this way. How much money will each of us give in the early stage?"

After careful consideration, several people exchanged glances, and the matter was considered settled, and Murong An directly opened his mouth to move on to the next topic.

"No, I have a question, Liangliang, does your small army belong to the imperial court or your own?"

Xiang Zhuo, who only cared about contributing money and effort, raised his hand suddenly. Wei Tan, Murong An and He Rong guessed his thoughts almost instantly, and looked at Shen Liang together.

"It can be regarded as my personal partnership with the imperial court. They are all registered in the military. When they are formally formed into the army, they will be the special army of the imperial court. However, I am personally responsible for their expenses and training."

Obviously, he didn't expect Xiao Zhuozi to notice this problem. Shen Liang smiled and explained that Xiao Zhuozi had grown up and had the demeanor of a wife. In fact, the emperor had discussed this matter with him, and proposed that the court To be responsible for their expenses, but if the imperial court intervenes, I am afraid that many issues will be involved in the later stage, such as the children's future freedom of ownership, etc. In the end, they still decided to let him support them personally, so as to avoid the imperial court's meddling, which is a good thing It was also turned into a bad thing.
