Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it
Chapter 768: Mercy is also divided among people
The Sixth Prince looked at her and said, "Couldn't you have said this earlier? You're sensible."
Bai Wanwan said calmly:
"Anyone from Qingfeng County can enter the city by paying one hundred taels of silver.
I believe that the Sixth Prince loves his people like his own children and will definitely be willing to pay this money."
The Sixth Prince's face turned green after being confronted by Bai Wanwan. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Bai Wanwan, how dare you?"
Bai Wanwan said in a cold tone:
"Why wouldn't I dare? You want to drive all the disaster victims into Qingshui County. Do you want me to contribute both manpower and manpower?
I'm just a small county magistrate, how could I have such ability?
If you give me a hundred taels of silver, I can buy enough food and water to help the victims. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? Don't you even want to do this?"
"Bai Wanwan, you've gone too far!" Lin Zaozao suddenly shouted, "The victims are already having a hard time, yet you're blocking them from entering. How cruel you are!"
Bai Wanwan glanced at her with a half-smile: "You're just a concubine of the Sixth Prince. How dare you speak to me like that? Slap me in the face!"
The two guards in dark suits behind her immediately stepped forward. One of them quickly grabbed Lin Zaozao's shoulders, while the other raised his hand and slapped her in the face.
The crisp sound of "pa" is particularly harsh...
Lin Dasheng rushed over, eager to fight Bai Wanwan: "What are you doing? She is your sister. I order you now to let us into the city."
Bai Wanwan sneered, "Who do you think you are?"
"I'm your father, how dare you speak to me like that?"
"What daddy or not? I don't have the habit of casually claiming dads."
The Sixth Prince said angrily, "Don't go too far. Do you believe I will kill you?"
He directly drew out his sword, and the guards around Bai Wanwan looked at him eagerly.
Then Shen Wei slowly walked out and said, "Wanwan, I heard that people in other counties were affected by the disaster, and I also want to do my best to help."
Lin Zao Zao was stunned: "How come this person looks exactly like Bai Wanwan?"
Shen Tao also came over and said, "Sister Shen Wei is quite thoughtful. She said she was worried that you would be too busy here, and since we are free, we came over to help."
Bai Wanwan looked at them calmly and said, "There's nothing I can help with. There are people guarding this place."
Lin Zao Zao shouted, "Bai Wanwan, you can't be so excessive. So many people just want to enter Qingshui County, and you actually want to charge them money. Aren't you being merciful?"
Bai Wanwan looked at her and said:
“Who told you that I am merciful? Mercy is also divided among people. Being merciful to you is being cruel to me.
Do you have the right to speak here? Since you know I'm the magistrate of Qingshui, you should know the rules. How can you dictate what I do?
You should also remember that the migration of refugees across counties in this dynasty has never been possible at will!"
If she took in the victims, she would be responsible for these people. If anything happened, it would be the responsibility of Qingshui County. Even if nothing happened, these people would never let them go.
Shen Wei's eyes were red: "I... I just feel sorry for these disaster victims. I don't mean anything else. I just thought I could help you."
Shen Tao also frowned and said, "Wanwan, there are so many people queuing up to get in, why don't you let them in? You weren't like this before."
Bai Wanwan looked at him calmly and said, "What was I like before?"
Shen Tao looked at Bai Wanwan and said, "In the past, whenever you saw someone in trouble, even if it was just a brief encounter, you would lend a hand."
Bai Wanwan raised an eyebrow and said, "When did I become such a pushover? Shen Tao, you might have mistaken me for someone else."
Lin Zao Zao sneered: "Now you've revealed your true colors, you can't even hide your flaws."
Bai Wanwan also stopped smiling, her face full of sarcasm:
“I never said I was a good person, but I’m definitely not a bad person either.
But Qingshui County has so little food and housing, it can't accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. How about this!
Since you are such busybodies, these people want to come into the city and you pay them so they can get free food and water.
Come here, register for me. These are all kind-hearted people who are willing to donate money. I will definitely not stop them.
Every person entering the city is 100 taels..."
Seeing this, the refugees on the surrounding boats immediately kowtowed in unison: "Thank you so much for saving our lives! Please let us in! Look at me, my child is delirious from the fever!"
Others immediately echoed this, complaining at once:
"We fled all the way here from other counties, escaping death by the skin of our teeth along the way!
I have an 80-year-old mother to support at home!"
For a moment, cries and pleas were mixed together.
Shen Wei looked at the scene and his face flushed red. "Why should we pay for these people to enter the city? This is too much!"
Bai Wanwan glanced up at her, her tone calm but sharp:
"Then why should they spend my money?
Shen Wei, you're asking me to cover for you right away. Don't you think your request is excessive?"
Shen Tao roared suddenly, his face flushed, as if he had made a great decision:
"Stop arguing, what's there to argue about? It's just money, right? I'll pay for it!"
I'll take out 100,000 taels! That's all right now, right? "
Bai Wanwan looked at him calmly, her tone calm, "Of course I can."
Then he turned to the person next to him and said:
“He offered 100,000 taels, and you will pay according to the amount of 100,000 taels.
Provide sufficient water and food, and lead the corresponding victims to the county temple for resettlement.
If the follow-up is not enough, just ask him for it directly."
She then turned her gaze to the Sixth Prince standing beside her and said with a half-smile, "Many people have escaped from Qingfeng County this time. Would the Sixth Prince be so stingy?"
The Sixth Prince raised his eyebrows and chuckled with a hint of arrogance:
"This prince is not so stingy. It's just money. Come, bring me ten thousand taels!
I want to see how much food and water she has to squander."
Bai Wanwan snorted coldly, her tone was straightforward:
"You don't have to worry about how much food and water you have."
Ten thousand taels, and I will naturally arrange for the corresponding people to come to the city and find them a good place to live."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and got on the carriage. Shen Tao followed, but was stopped by the guards: "Master Shen, our young lady is going back. You should find a way to go back on your own!"
Shen Tao frowned and said:
"Wanwan, hey! Wanwan, you don't have to be so stingy, right?
I'm doing this for the development of Qingshui County. These disaster victims are truly pitiful."
Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "You did quite well, but it's not appropriate for men and women to be intimate with each other. We should be more cautious in the future. It would be bad if people misunderstood us."
After saying that, he left. Shen Wei came over and said with a face full of grievance: "Brother Tao, did I do something wrong? But these disaster victims are really pitiful. I am just..."
Shen Tao sighed and said, "It has nothing to do with you. I don't know what she is thinking. Let's go back!"
