The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought

"How are you going to help them?"

A crude camp with pale, skinny and ragged Baiyue refugees.

No matter how you look at it, this is not an easy task.

It is easy to help one person, and it is also possible to help ten people, but if it is hundreds or thousands of people, it becomes an extremely difficult task.

Not to mention anything else, the daily food consumption alone is an extremely terrifying number.

Yan Lingji secretly glanced at Su Xuan. In her impression, Su Xuan was not very rich.

To buy the garden, which cost hundreds of gold, he had to sign an IOU and put his fingerprints on it.

How much money can he afford to spend here?

At most it is just temporary relief.

But seeing how confident he was, Yan Lingji couldn't help but become curious.

What will he do?

"When I read the Book of Changes, there was one sentence that left the deepest impression on me." Su Xuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice,

"Heaven moves in good health, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement."

"The strong save themselves, the weak seek salvation."

“A person doesn’t drown if they fall into the water, they drown if they stay in the water. The only person who can change their situation is themselves.

All I can do is to lend a hand and give them a little help.”

The most effective way to provide relief to refugees is not to open warehouses to release grain or provide porridge for disaster relief.

Using work to provide disaster relief is often a more effective and practical method.

"Do you remember the rice paper business that Zi Nu and I talked about?" Su Xuan asked with a smile.

Yan Lingji nodded slightly.

"Whether it's rice paper or other commodities, if you want to mass-produce them, you will inevitably need manpower." Su Xuan glanced at the Baiyue refugees in front of him, "I can provide them with a job, so that they can get food and compensation through labor."

This is a win-win situation. They can greatly improve their lives, while Su Xuan gets a group of cheap labor.

Yan Lingji's eyes lit up.

Sometimes, she really wanted to dig open Su Xuan's head and see what was inside.

Even something that is obviously difficult can be easily solved in his hands.

She felt that as long as Su Xuan wanted to do something, there was almost nothing he couldn't do.

"Big brother, big sister, are you also planning to settle down here?" A child about five or six years old ran over, his eyes full of curiosity, looking at Su Xuan and Yan Lingji innocently.

He was thin, his face was dark with traces of charcoal ash, his hair was unkempt, his eyes were sunken, and he looked somewhat malnourished.

Unlike the numb Baiyue refugees, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be curious and yearning about everything in this world.

Yan Lingji was slightly stunned.

Su Xuan squatted down and smiled softly, "We are here to help you."

The child blinked and tilted his head to look at Su Xuan, as if thinking about what it meant. After a long while, he finally reacted.

"Can you give me some food?"

Two pairs of big eyes looked at Su Xuan expectantly.

"Of course no problem." Su Xuan nodded with a smile, then took out a few cakes from his sleeves.

The child looked at the exquisitely crafted pastry in his hand and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He held it carefully in his palm as if he was holding a priceless treasure.

Although his eyes were full of desire, he never ate it.

"Why don't you eat?" Su Xuan asked softly.

The child looked at Su Xuan and said seriously, "I want to leave it to my sister and mother."

"I promised my father that I would protect my mother and sister. I will try my best to fulfill my promise."

Yan Lingji's heart trembled, and another unforgettable figure seemed to emerge in her mind.

She looked at the child in front of her again, and her eyes softened unconsciously.

Su Xuan lamented that children who are pressured by life often become sensible earlier.

He took out a few more pieces of cake, placed them in the child's palm, and nodded encouragingly, "In this case, it's okay even if you try a piece."

The child looked at his palms filled with pastries and first thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you big brother!"

Then he picked up one of the pastries, took a small bite, and looked very satisfied.

"This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten." His eyes were shining, and he thought that his sister and mother would like it too.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Xiaoxia! Xiaoxia!"

"Mom, I'm here!" After hearing his mother's call, the young boy named Xia Tian responded quickly.

"Kid, you've been running around all day."

This is a haggard-looking woman wearing coarse linen clothes and a flax hat. Behind her is a little girl who is looking around.

"Xiao Xia!" the little girl greeted.

"Mother, sister, here!" Xia Tian trotted over and handed the pastries in his hand to them.

Looking at the exquisite pastry in Xia Tian's hand, the woman's expression changed. "Where did this come from? Didn't I tell you not to take other people's things without permission?"

The little girl's eyes lit up as she stared at the pastries in Xia Tian's hand.

It looks so beautiful, it must be delicious.

She seemed to hear her stomach growling and swallowed subconsciously.

"This was given to me by my older brother. I didn't take it carelessly." Xia Tian explained, hanging his head, looking a little aggrieved.

Big brother?

The woman soon saw two figures behind Xia Tian, ​​both dressed in brocade. The man had an extraordinary bearing, while the woman had an ethereal figure. One could tell at a glance that they were of extraordinary status.

Is this a Korean noble?

The woman thought subconsciously, but no matter who it was, the person in front of her was definitely someone she could not offend.

She couldn't help but worry whether her child had offended the two adults in front of her. She couldn't help but panic and knelt on the ground, saying in fear and trepidation, "My child is ignorant, I hope you two adults will forgive me."

After saying this, he asked his two children to kneel down together and apologize.

Xia Tian pulled her mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, big brother and big sister are here to help us. They are not bad people."

The commotion here was soon noticed by other Baiyue people, and they all looked over curiously.

An old man who looked like a leader, leaning on a cane and hunched over, walked up to Su Xuan and said carefully, "I wonder if the two distinguished guests have come here for any important matter?"

"I am planning to recruit a group of workers to work for me. I originally didn't plan to recruit you, and I came here only because my friend is from Baiyue."

"Working under me, you will get food and accommodation, so food and clothing are not a problem."

Free food and accommodation? Recruiting workers?

As soon as these two sentences were spoken, it caused an uproar.

Are there such good people in this world?

Everyone looked at Su Xuan in disbelief, and hope was rekindled in their numb eyes.
