I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby
Chapter 94: Not having enough to eat, not having enough clothes to wear, this is the truest portraya
Qin Zhao was actually a little shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
Everyone I saw was pale and thin. Among them were trembling old people, teenagers, and even toddlers!
What’s worse is that there are some young boys holding babies!
The child who just said he wanted to build a longevity arch for the Qin family was holding a skinny baby in his arms, who looked much thinner than Sister Yue!
Not having enough to eat and not having warm clothes to wear, is this the most realistic portrayal of the lower-class people in the Southern Dynasties?
The power of the Southern Dynasty is unquestionable, but in places where the power is not visible, the people are still living in misery.
This is still the capital, but what about places outside the capital?
Qin Zhao couldn't imagine it.
This touched Qin Zhao's heart. If he distributed more food to them, it might alleviate their hunger and cold for a while...
In fact, it wasn't just Qin Zhao. Old Madam Qin and Mrs. Lu were even more heartbroken. They couldn't help but feel their eyes turn slightly red as they watched.
If such a young child had the protection of his parents, he would not have to take on the responsibility of taking care of his younger sister at such a young age.
Lord Qin looked at Qin Zhao with deep eyes, as if he could see through what he was thinking.
In fact, the Southern Dynasty treated the people very well, and its tax policies were very low.
However, the food problem on which most people depend for survival is difficult to solve. Firstly, the grain output is not high, and secondly, the annual harvest depends entirely on the mood of God.
That was why Emperor Yuan of Jin was so obsessed with the high-yield crops in the Points Mall that he was willing to sacrifice himself and his court officials so that Qin Yue could accumulate points.
"Zhao'er, you will be an official in the future, so you must remember their expectations and longings today, and remember the shock you felt today!"
"Only if you keep this heart can you avoid going astray! Only then can you realize your ambitions!"
"The Qin family can guarantee them food and clothing for a while, but it won't last long. There are still many such people in the Southern Dynasty, and the Qin family can't take care of them all."
"If they become dependent on the Qin family, they will gradually lose their ability and motivation to survive. It is not advisable to rely on others for everything. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish!"
"What you can do in the future is to create an environment where they can have enough food to eat, so that they have the ability to have enough food! Furthermore, give them the opportunity to read and learn to read."
Qin Zhao lowered his head and thought about what Lord Qin said.
When Lord Qin was talking to Qin Zhao, he deliberately lowered his voice so that only the few people standing beside him could hear it clearly.
Coincidentally, the young man who had remained expressionless when everyone was shocked just happened to be queuing up a few steps away from Lord Qin, and no one noticed that his ears moved slightly.
Qin Yue: [Oh! So you are donating clothes to the people now? Wow, that's great!]
The Qin family members were very happy to hear this, and the corners of their mouths curled up unconsciously, feeling as if they had received great recognition.
System: [Before the host was born, the Qin family often donated money for charity, and this tradition has been maintained for nearly a hundred years.]
Qin Yue: [Wow, when I grow up I want to do good deeds together. There are so many things I can do! ]
Qin Family: Yeah, Sister Yue is awesome! I hope you will grow up well!
System: [Host, come on and eat melons, you can also help them, our points mall has a lot of good things! ]
Qin Yue: [Great! Hehe!]
The Qin family members all smiled. Although they knew that Sister Yue was an adult at heart, she sometimes behaved like a child. Perhaps this was a manifestation of her simple mind.
"Master, let's go and help. There are so many people here, and I don't know when we'll be able to get the gifts."
Old Madam Qin suggested.
"Yes, father, there are too many people today. How about we divide them into two groups, so that children and the elderly can register and receive separately, which can also speed up the process!"
Lu also expressed his thoughts.
Qin Zhao volunteered: "Father, I can be responsible for the registration!"
Madam Qin and Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "We can be responsible for distributing the clothes!"
Lord Qin stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and then agreed.
"Butler Wang!"
"I'm here." Butler Wang immediately bowed and listened.
"Go and move a few more tables and chairs over, and prepare some more pens, inkstones, and paper."
"The cards are already separated, so there's no need to reorganize them."
While giving orders, Lord Qin was thinking about whether there was anything he had missed.
When Lord Qin finished speaking, Butler Wang immediately replied, "Yes! Master, I will prepare it right away!"
Having said that, Butler Wang bowed slightly to Lord Qin, then turned around and left quickly.
Here, Mr. Qin walked over to Shopkeeper Wang who was registering and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, please stop what you are doing for a moment. I have new arrangements to notify you of."
Shopkeeper Wang looked up and saw Lord Qin, and immediately stood up and saluted. Upon hearing the words, he immediately replied, "Yes! Please give me your orders, sir!"
The people at the front of the line were a little confused when they saw the registration manager stopped.
The people at the back of the team were confused as they saw the team in front of them not moving.
The crowd suddenly became noisy.
People were wondering what had happened?
Why did it stop suddenly?
Have all the clothes been collected?
Oops, it’s all my fault for being so slow. I didn’t get to the front of the line and I don’t know when I’ll be able to get clothes next time!
The clothes you are wearing are so torn that people will look down on you if you apply for a waiter job!
Huh? It’s only been a short while since the start, why can’t I get it?
Just when everyone was confused, Lord Qin spoke loudly again.
"Everyone, please be quiet! Please be quiet!"
When everyone heard Lord Qin's voice, they instantly quieted down and waited quietly for Lord Qin's next words.
"Everyone, considering that there are too many people today, in order to avoid wasting your time, we have arranged to add a new registration point."
"The elderly will remain in the current queue, and children please go to the newly added registration point, which is where I am standing now."
"We were divided into two groups at the clothing collection area, one for the elderly and one for the children."
"Children in the queue, please come to my side one by one!"
Qin Zhao followed Master Qin's words, raised one hand high, and waved to the children with the other hand: "Everyone, please come over here, don't be in a hurry, take your time, and keep the queue!"
The first person to respond was the child holding his sister. He understood what Master Qin said and shouted back, "Thank you Master Qin for considering us. Everyone should not crowd together and come one by one!"
Then he held his sister and slowly moved towards Lord Qin according to the queue order.
Everyone present was very cooperative.
The old people cooperated to make way, the children cooperated to maintain the queue, and the Qin family guards also silently cooperated with the movement of the crowd. During this process, no one took the opportunity to cut in line.
Madam Qin and Mrs. Lu also walked to the place where clothes were distributed, and together with the maids they brought with them, they placed the baskets containing children's clothes and the elderly's clothes on both sides of the table.
Once the line was re-established, the queue was successfully split into two lines, and the line was no longer as long as the previous line.
The queue of elderly people also started the process of registering and receiving clothes again.
Qin Zhao also took the child's pair of cards and comforted the anxious child at the same time.
"Please be patient, we still need to prepare all the registration materials, so please wait for a moment."
Lord Qin held Qin Yue in his arms and stood aside, watching Qin Zhao's actions with a smile in his eyes, obviously very satisfied.
As expected, it was right for Zhao'er to come along!
At this time, Steward Wang also brought people back with chairs, pens, ink, paper, inkstone and other items.
After everything was put away, the children's queue quickly began the process of registering and receiving clothes.
Lord Qin held Qin Yue in his arms, sat next to Qin Zhao, and passed him cards.
Qin Yue looked at the skinny little kids and was silent for a moment.
Alas, in every era there are people struggling to make ends meet. I just hope there will be fewer and fewer such people!
The system, which had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke: [Host, there is a melon to eat, do you want to eat it? ]
Everyone:! ! !
