Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

When troubled times come, the first to be abandoned are the elderly—they have lost their mobility, and the long-distance migration makes their bodies overwhelmed, and then the children—as long as the husband and wife are together, the children can be regenerated. , the mother will do everything possible to protect her child, but in most cases, she does not have the ability to protect the child, and the woman is the last one.

But the ratio of women is very low. Poor families cannot support so many children, so once they give birth to daughters, some of them will be discarded directly. If the family is too poor and only willing to raise sons, such things as drowning baby girls common.

So when Lin Yuan saw the calculated ratio of male to female, he wanted to go out for a few laps with a big head.

There are still too few women.

Now only one of the 160 people is a woman, which also includes the elderly and children under the age of 12.

This is not a good situation.

If there are too many men, the society will be unstable. Lin Yuan is a man himself, so of course he knows what men think.

In fact, men's thinking is easy to understand. In society, they need to find their own position, and most men position themselves as "protectors".

They will stabilize only when they have an object of protection, which includes parents, wives and children.

Most of these men now have no parents.

So without a woman, without a wife, they become aggressive.

In short, it is not pleasing to the eye, and a small matter will cause a big fight.

Although there were not many incidents of street fights, there were definitely not many incidents in private.

Even if Lin Yuan tried his best to cultivate their sense of community, let them do everything together.

But Lin Yuan also knew that this was just a stopgap measure, like a time bomb that would explode at an unknown time.

"There are quite a few people who are defecting to you now, and there must be women among them." Chen Bosong persuaded him in this way.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "No, it's still too little."

Most of the people who defected here died on the road. Think about it, a lot of middle-aged men died on the road, not to mention women with poorer physical fitness, especially a poor family, they will basically give the best meals at home to the strong laborers. , Women have not had enough to eat and are malnourished since they were young. Lin Yuan does not think that the probability of their survival is higher than that of men.

When people encounter wild beasts on the road, women will also be left behind. In this way, there are very few women who can safely reach the land under the jurisdiction of Lin Yuan. If one comes, she is the darling of fate.

"Buy." Lin Yuan stood up, his brows furrowed. Originally, he wanted to crack down on human trafficking, but now it seems that this is the only effective and efficient way.

The merchants quickly received this decree. Many merchants did not accept such business. After all, there was a dental shop before. Besides, the business of buying and selling is not considered huge profits. It is better to sell salt and wine. Even gold, silver and jewelry can be worth a hundred people if sold.

But Nan Bodhisattva has spoken, and they must also be active.

But these Xie Zichang stole Zhou Fu's limelight. One of them is the president of the chamber of commerce, and the other is the vice president. It seems that the relationship between the boss and the subordinate is actually the relationship between competitors. When they are in danger, they form gangs and are closer than brothers, but once the peace subsides, they start to fight each other again, trying to kill each other.

Winter is the best time to sell people. Now many poor families in other places have to sell their daughters to make a living.

Girls cannot be sold at a high price, only sons can be sold more expensively, so merchants can buy girls at a low price.

The flowery little girl is like a flower that blooms in the morning, and she only needs a handful of grain to take away.

People no longer recognize money, not even copper coins, but only food.

Currency can only be circulated when it is stable, so Lin Yuan has not yet unified currency.

Sanhua obediently followed behind the adults, holding her younger sister by the hand. The two sisters were as thin as skeletons. No one knew where they would go. Her eldest sister, second sister, and elder brother, They were all sold, and now there are only parents and the youngest brother left in the family. The little brother has not been weaned yet, and when he is weaned, he may also be sold.

They were herded together, besides her and her sister, there were many girls, they had nothing with them, and there was nothing at home to give them, and the parents sold them and told them that they could go and live a better life .

But they don't know what a good day is.

They want to stay with their parents, even if they can't eat enough to live a so-called good life.

They stayed where they were for three days, and girls were brought in one after another, and then they set out on the road. Sanhua had never walked such a long road, but even though the road was long, they could eat enough, and they could have four cakes a day!Although it was a bean dregs cake, it was covered with sauce. When they were at home, they didn't even have to eat bean dregs cakes.

But they still want to go home.

Although they can't get enough to eat at home and have to do a lot of work, they still miss home at night, and the girls from the same place will gather together, crying and talking about what's in their hometown.

But they soon gave up, because they were too tired. Although they had clothes to keep out the cold and could eat enough, the distance was too long, and they could only walk across it with their own legs.

When they were brought into the city by the adults, their mouths were wide open, and they looked at everything in disbelief—they were all from a small village, and the people they had seen the most were the people in the town, and the people they had seen the most. The magnificent building is the brick house of the village head. They have only heard of such a city in stories.

That is a place they will never go to for the rest of their lives. Maybe when they grow up, get married, and have children, they will tell their children the stories they have heard.

Sanhua held her younger sister's hand and poked her head out of the crowd. She didn't know where to look with her eyes. The younger sister asked him, "Sister, where are we going?"

Sanhua: "I don't know either, we will go wherever the adults take us."

She knew she couldn't go home, it was too far away, and she didn't remember going back.

They were led into a big house—it was so big, she had never seen such a big house in her life, ten of them slept in one room, the beds inside were never seen before, they were bunk beds, no one was there If they dare to sleep on it, they always feel that they will fall down.

So the girls sleep two by two, leaving the upper bed empty.

Sanhua and her younger sister slept together, but luckily they were both thin and small, a single bed could not only be squeezed, but also had room for three people to sleep.

The next day, they were called out. Those under 15 years old stood aside, those between 15 and [-] years old stood aside, and those over [-] years old stood aside.

Sanhua saw her younger sister who was under ten years old being taken away, she cried and begged the adults not to separate her from her younger sister, her younger sister was too young to work, but she was capable, she did the work for two of them, Just ask adults not to leave them.

The adult smiled and said to her: "You are still sleeping in the same place at night, and you each have your own business during the day."

Sanhua didn't believe it, her parents used to coax her like this, then the eldest sister disappeared, and then the second sister also disappeared.

She knelt down and wanted to kowtow to the lord, she naively thought that if she broke her head, the lord would return her sister to her.

However, she was pulled up by a hand.

Sanhua looked up, and what she saw was a pretty face. Sanhua had never read a book, so she didn't know a few words, but she heard from the elder brother who was studying in the village that she only remembered one word, graceful and graceful. .

Although she doesn't know whether this word describes a man or a woman, she is willing to use the most beautiful words she knows to describe the person in front of her.

He is very white, his skin is like jade, and he is also very tall, like a straight and straight tree. Wherever he stands, there is the center of the world. Looking at his face, it is an imposing manner that cannot be described in words, it is daunting.

Sanhua didn't dare to cry anymore, she opened her mouth and couldn't make any sound.

Then she heard this good-looking man say to her: "Your sister is still young and going to study, don't worry, you can see her every night."

Sanhua looked at her stupidly, and she who didn't believe it just now actually believed it. She nodded and said very obediently: "Then what am I going to do?"

The man smiled at her: "Just grow up obediently, maybe you will do something, are you afraid of hard work?"

Sanhua quickly said, "No, I'm not afraid, I can do anything! I can farm, take care of my brother and sister, feed chickens, and dig wild vegetables. I can do anything!"

The man was still smiling at her: "You are amazing."

Sanhua blushed, is she good?No one has ever praised her before, no matter how much she has done, no one has praised her.

"Good girl, go and stand over there." The man gently reminded her.

Sanhua blushed and walked over, but her eyes followed him closely.

When Lin Yuan arrived, he happened to see a skinny little girl about to kowtow to a manager in charge. He pulled her away, said a few words, and then asked the manager, "Have you counted? How many people are here?" ?”

The steward replied: "A total of 800 people."

This is the first batch.

Lin Yuan's brows finally relaxed a little.

After people settle down, they will want to start a family. Now Gaoyou and Taizhou, the two richest places, have the most harmonious relationship between men and women, and people get married almost every day.

He's not worried about people choosing to be single.

In modern times, if fewer people get married and have fewer children, it may be a headache for the above, because newborns represent new energy, and the reduction of new lives means that the society will enter an aging society in a few decades, and then it will start to go downhill. Well, for a country, it's almost fatal.

But now, starting a family and starting a business is something deeply embedded in people's minds.

Once they have money and a foothold, they want to start a family, male or female.

A country is made up of small families, and these small families establish the stability of society.

Between men and women, love is entangled.

This is not something Lin Yuan can control.

Lin Yuan just tried his best to provide them with the soil for love.

He hopes that people will be united by love and procreate by love.

Lin Yuan smiled at the supervisor.

The manager was taken aback. Why did Nan Bodhisattva look at him like that?Nan Bodhisattva seems to like masculinity?

But he is very old and has two sons, how can he reject Nan Bodhisattva in a subtle way without offending him?

Hey, the manager sighed in his heart, he is so good, but it is really troublesome.
