Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 15: Tang Chen's Travels in the Disaster Area

Tang Chen, who got back up again, quickly jumped up and down again. This kind of resilience is completely beyond what a normal soul master should have. It's no wonder that he will become the future Limit Douluo.

Although he said that the Elephant Jiazong was tricky and bought people's hearts, he didn't care about things like helping the victims, and he didn't bother to spread rumors to hurt the Elephant Jiazong.

Compared to these, he cared more about the refugees in the famine. He came here to act chivalrously, to fight profiteers who hoarded goods, and to punish bandits who took advantage of the chaos.

Instead of monitoring the Elephant Armor Sect, it is better to do something practical...

only……

Tang Chen discovered that since the disaster relief troops arrived, there was nothing for him to do. There were no bandits or bullying. This arid land had completely changed. construction site.

Those in blue clothes will speak the rough voice of rural farmers everywhere, yelling to recruit workers, three copper coins a day, one settlement a day, and free food and drink on the first day.

The refugees who heard the yelling, whether they were fleeing famine or looting, all stopped and followed the guidance of those people to the construction site.

They knew that this might be a trap, and they might be taken away and sold into slavery after following them, but they would still follow. The hungry people in despair, even for the sake of being a hungry ghost, would not hesitate.

At first, Tang Chen thought that those people in blue were plotting something wrong, and went with the victims on purpose, but when he arrived at the construction site, he discovered that it was full of strange-smelling food.

Under the coercion of the soul master and the army, the victims received small wooden cards, and then received food with the wooden cards. The first free food was not much, and they could barely eat half full, but seeing their satisfied expressions But Tang Chen couldn't accuse the man in blue of being harsh.

What surprised him even more was that, relying on the different patterns on the wooden signs, more than a thousand disaster victims were quickly divided into ten groups, and each group was instructed by someone to tell them how to work.

The job that day was to reclaim wasteland, which was not difficult for most of the victims who were peasants. What surprised Tang Chen was that under the command of a dozen people, more than a thousand people could reclaim wasteland like ants. A whole piece of neatly connected land was produced. After the work of each person's responsible area, all of them happened to be connected together. Looking from the high ground, it was inexplicably shocking.

After a day's work, the victims can receive three copper coins for the day by virtue of the wooden badges on their bodies.

Tang Chen calculated that the food bought by these people was very cheap, and the three copper coins a day would have a surplus.

This is what he couldn't understand the most. The disaster relief in his impression is that the government sends people to open porridge shops in the disaster area to give porridge, which is completely different from what he saw in front of him.

It is necessary to provide food and pay wages. Doesn't this increase the cost of relief?

"Young man, I've been looking at it for a whole day, do you see anything?" The leading man in blue patted Tang Chen on the shoulder and asked. A boy with a sense of justice, he still has a good impression.

"I don't understand. If you just give out porridge, wouldn't you be able to save that money?"

The man in the blue overalls smiled and said: "It's normal if you don't understand, when we were organized by the great sage for the first time, we didn't understand, but after hearing more stories, we understood.

In fact, this is taking money from the left hand to the right hand. We send money to these people, and these people use the money in their hands to buy our food. "

"But I see that the wages you pay are rich!" Tang Chen was puzzled.

"Then have you ever thought about who will belong to the future of the land reclaimed by these people, the crops they planted, the roads they repaired, and even the city they built?" The man in blue seemed to see himself back then, So the tone is also a lot more amiable.

Tang Chen was taken aback for a moment before he thought of this question: "You mean..."

"Yes,

Their rich money can be used to buy crops, houses, and even land in the city. After all, in the end, not only do we not have to spend a penny, but we still have to earn.

This kind of relief not only saves countless lives, but also prospers the ruler, so why not do it! And the most important thing is..." Speaking of this, he felt a little touched, so that he unconsciously fell into a daze.

"What's the most important thing?" Tang Chen interrupted him and asked.

"The most important thing is that this gives the victims dignity, allowing them to eat the food in their hands with peace of mind, instead of being like a group of beggars begging for food. The great sage said that labor creates wealth, and I agree with this."

Hearing this, Tang Chen couldn't help being touched. He had been away from the sect for almost a year, and he had fought for righteousness along the way, but in the end, no old farmer could understand.

"Young man, I guess you are also from a famous family, so you should be literate! If you really want to do something, you can go to the government affairs office over there and temporarily replace an official who manages thousands of people. It's better than doing this." Blue The man in clothes patted Tang Chen on the shoulder and pointed him to the location of the Government Affairs Office.

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Tang Chen hurriedly asked, "Uncle, did the great sages teach you what you said?"

"Yeah, if I hadn't been recruited into the farm of the great sage, I'm afraid I'm no different from them now."

Tang Chen was even more surprised when he heard the words. If these words were spoken by a seasoned scholar, it would be normal, but if they were spoken clearly by a former old farmer, they would be very shocking.

In particular, the other party is used to it, but they don't know that it is this habitual performance that makes this matter even more unusual.

In the end, Tang Chen went to the government affairs hall and personally led more than a thousand people to plow fields, build roads, build cities and houses...

The long hours of hard work had made his skin dark, and his palms had calluses that were different from holding a hammer. His short, neat hair fell over his shoulders, and his rather glamorous clothes were replaced by blue overalls.

But three months later, Tang Chen felt that everything was worth it when he saw the strong city he built with a stone and a basket of sand, the straight and wide road outside the city, and the endless farmland beside the road.

After resigning from the interim official position, he made up his mind that he must go to Heaven Dou City to meet the great sage who created miracles.

That's right, in the eyes of everyone, this is a miracle. After the relief force arrived, the disaster area was settled down again. Not only did few people starve to death, but also no plague broke out. The most incredible thing is that three months later, the famine passed , the large area north of Jialing Pass was actually more prosperous than before the disaster.

Nothing could be more miraculous than this!
