45. Is there a benevolent person who can take care of the elderly? (Please give me a monthly ticket for recommendation, collection and reading)
The sky is getting dark.
Zhuangzi, which was bustling during the day, was much quieter now. Only the Chu Paper Workshop was still brightly lit and there was the sound of people.
The people of Pangshan were very tired... He did not expect that he would be caught as a young man before he even got to the village. However, he did not feel that he was at a disadvantage after actually going through this.
He is not a scholar who is ignorant of the sufferings of the people. On the contrary, the more he understands, the more he admires Huang Yueying's sincerity.
The scriptures and books he had learned since childhood taught him to be benevolent and righteous, to be trustworthy, to be polite, to be loyal to the king, and to be kind to the people.
But the world was in chaos...the king was also imprisoned, and the people were miserable.
Even if the king is not imprisoned, the people will still suffer.
Jingzhou Taiping is actually much better than other states, but... the people are still in poverty.
The people I visited today all have no food left in their homes and are suffering from chronic illness.
Most of the illnesses are not serious, but they have been delayed for a long time and have only just ended.
But, why drag it on?
Do they not want to see a doctor?
Do they not want to alleviate the suffering?
Of course not.
Because, poor.
The white robe was stained with a lot of dust today, but Pang Shanmin didn't feel anything. On the contrary... he felt at ease. Yes, he had never been so at ease.
"I never thought about it, but I came at the right time." Pang Shanmin smiled and shook his head. When they walked outside Huangjiazhuang, he and Zhou Yang were stopped.
"This is Mr. Pang," Zhou Yang introduced.
"You two, please come in, I have an explanation."
"Thank you, little brother."
Pang Shanmin looked at it and asked, "The village has hired guards?"
"Yes, now that the village has wealth worth tens of millions of gold, it must be coveted." Zhou Yang nodded, "That's why the young lady hired Gan Ning from Ba as the bodyguard general."
"Gan Ning." Pang Shanmin then thought of something and frowned, "Has Chu considered it carefully?"
"yes."
Seeing this, Pang Shanmin said nothing more.
If Gan Ning can really become the bodyguard of the Huang family, he must have passed the test of Duke Chengyan.
…
Huang Yueying counted the time today, looked at her old father who was still quietly copying books in the study, and then looked at the shelf next to her old father with several swords...
The old father obviously has many swordsmen.
It is also said that three handles are missing. After three handles, there must be three more handles.
"Did you offend Ah Chu today?" Ms. Cai asked her husband.
"No." Huang Chengyan thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Then why does Ah Chu keep looking at you?"
"Maybe she thinks her father has a handsome beard?"
"You..." Ms. Cai laughed and her face turned red. It had been a long time since she and Huang Chengyan had joked like this.
Huang Chengyan also laughed, feeling happy at the thought of owning three swords made of hundreds of steel.
In recent years, my family has not saved much, so if I want to cast three swords made of hundred-forged steel at once, I have to think carefully about it.
Now, I am quite satisfied.
Although he didn't know why Achu knew how to pour steel, it was enough because Achu was his daughter.
While he was thinking about it, Zhou Yang came to report that Pang Shanmin was back.
After hearing this, Huang Yueying immediately stood up and walked out of the study. To be honest, she felt that Huang Chengyan was bullying the younger, but Pang Shanmin... was really an honest person.
When she saw Pang Shanmin, Zhuge was chatting with him, and she was too embarrassed to disturb him for a while.
Pang Shanmin noticed her and thought of something, so he took out the Chu paper booklet for registering medical records, "Achu, do you want to see this?"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work today, brother of the mountain people." Huang Yueying nodded and took it, bowing and saluting very solemnly.
Pang Shanmin was stunned for a moment, then returned the greeting, "A Chu's words are serious."
"Speaking of which, Brother Mountain Man came here for..."
"I would like to be a disciple of A Chu." Pang Shanmin did not feel embarrassed at this time. It is normal for Huang Yueying to be granted a title by the emperor and to have some disciples.
This time, it was Huang Yueying's turn to be stunned, and then she was overjoyed, "Brother, mountain people, you don't have to be like this. Brother is willing to help. A Chu is already grateful. You must not treat yourself as a follower."
"A Chu is now Lord Chu An, there should be rules for this matter." Huang Chengyan came out and said, "If not, will all your brothers work in vain?"
"This will never happen!" Huang Yueying had never thought of prostituted them for free, and immediately said, "Achu is willing to pay two thousand yuan and twenty stones of corn per month to ask the mountain man brother to do some chores. I hope he will not refuse.
"
The same was true for the treatment she gave Gan Ning and Huang Yin. For ordinary people, this treatment was considered high, but for the nobles, it was just the treatment of a minor official.
"As you wish." Pang Shanmin agreed with a smile. This was another form of becoming an official.
He didn't care about the so-called monthly salary, as long as it was enough for him and Zhuge Rui's family to live. As for the affairs within the clan, he had already explained it.
"Okay." Huang Chengyan interrupted again, "Mountain people, you have worked hard today, so you should rest early."
"Although I am a little tired, I feel at peace in my heart." Pang Shanmin sighed with a smile, "I also want to thank my uncle for his teaching today."
Huang Chengyan:...What did I teach you?
"You're welcome. Let's take a rest early."
Listening to her old father's words, Huang Yueying also agreed. Pang Shanmin came from Xiangyang and worked hard all the way, but before she even entered her house, her old father made her into a virgin... She was also very embarrassed, right?
Pang Shanmin nodded and went to the wing with Zhuge Rui.
But suddenly, Pang Shanmin stopped, turned around, and looked at Huang Yueying seriously, "Shanmin has doubts in his heart. If he doesn't understand, he may not be able to sleep tonight."
"Brother and sister-in-law, please go to the study room." Seeing this, Huang Yueying also became serious.
Now, she and Pang Shanmin have signed a contract, but the two parties are still in the stage of further understanding. It is also necessary for Pang Shanmin to understand the core purpose, corporate culture and development direction of the company.
As for inviting Zhuge to come in with her, of course she had other plans. After all...she had to catch the big fish that was still keeping her mourning in Nanyang.
She has thought about it. Some things in the future are inevitable. In this case, she must take more initiative.
Besides, fishing for a wise saint to come and help...don't be too happy about that!
…
In the study, Mr. Cai and Mr. Zhuge prepared tea for the other three people.
Huang Yueying and Pang Shanmin sat face to face on their knees.
Huang Chengyan stared at his daughter, his eyes full of contentment. To him, it didn't matter what Achu could do in the future. Of course, he also prepared pen and paper.
Some things must be remembered by someone.
There is nothing wrong with being a scribe.
Pang Shanmin adjusted his breathing and realized that he could start asking questions. However, he heard Huang Yueying already speaking,
"Brother, what doubts are there in your mind?"
"What exactly does Ah Chu want?"
After hearing this question, Huang Yueying smiled easily and explained, "Originally, I just wanted to live a better life for myself. Later, I wanted to live a better life for my tribe. Now, I also want to live a better life for the workers.
"
This answer immediately disrupted Pang Shanmin's rhythm, because... it was really too straightforward.
Of course Huang Yueying also knows that this answer is indeed straightforward, but it is indeed her original intention, just to benefit others.
Also, she had to control the rhythm of this puzzle-solving process, otherwise... she might have to avoid being asked by Pang Shanmin.
So, she asked, "Brother, how do you feel about asking a doctor to diagnose the sick in the workers' homes today?"
"My heart is at peace." Pang Shanmin answered truthfully.
"Brother, what kind of life do you think the people should have?"
"There are clothes to wear, food to eat, fields to plow, work at sunrise, and rest at sunset."
"So how are people's lives today?"
