"Men who are capable of working must work. I will order you to prepare materials tomorrow."

Build a refugee shelter and provide food to the workers for 20 coppers a day.

If you want to be rich, build roads first. After building roads built by refugees, build houses after building roads. After building houses, start farming.

The old, weak, women and children weaved, spun, and did some handicrafts. They had two meals a day and 20 copper coins as wages.

For children, we can set up a school and exempt them from studying for three years. In our words,

This is called three years of compulsory education. Those who continue to study after three years, regardless of gender, must attend three years of compulsory education. It is not for anything else, but to gain knowledge, broaden their horizons, and learn etiquette.

Then establish a subsidy mechanism for poor students for those who want to study but cannot afford it.

We will discuss the specific details after setting up a school.

As for the cloth woven by the women, I will find a market for it. If not, I can buy it for a certain treasure.

Not only can they support themselves with the money they earn from their own labor, but we can also recover the money we invested in the early stage.

As long as the economy develops, people can live and work in peace and contentment."

As Mo Chenyuan listened to Wen Ning's rambling plans, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time. She couldn't imagine that a woman could think so far ahead.

All his current difficulties could be solved in one afternoon

"Ah Ning, you think long term. This is something that many men dare not think about."

Wen Ning: "Hahaha, this is not what I thought. It is the same everywhere. It is the new era that great leaders are leading us to. I am just learning from it."

Mo Chenyuan "It's your knowledge and ability that can be used."

After the two discussed it, it was already midnight. The two of them stepped out of the space. When they heard something moving in the house, Ah Qi knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, Princess, please pass on the food. The kitchen has been heated up several times."

Wen Ning: "Oops, I forgot to eat, hurry up, hurry up, I'm starving."

The next day, when Wen Ning woke up, Mo Chenyuan had disappeared. Wen Ning gave Ah Qi instructions:

"Ah Qi, please go down and double the porridge shed today. I'll go take a look."

Wen Ning changed into men's clothes and took Ah Qi straight to the porridge shed.

When I first arrived, I saw a dense crowd of people, all holding bowls in their hands, queuing up to receive porridge. Although there were many people, they were very well behaved.

People lined up one after another, quietly and without fighting. After receiving the porridge, the person in front walked over with a bowl in hand and gave way to the next person.

Wen Ning is really satisfied with this. It must be Mo Chenyuan’s contribution.

Wen Ning took a rough look at the people in the audience. There were more men, and more of them were old, weak, women and children.

They were all dressed in rags and unkempt. Wen Ning came today with the intention of personally announcing that he would no longer be giving free porridge from tomorrow on.

But looking at the crowd of people in the audience, I decided to forget it and went home again.

Back at the house, Wen Ning wrote a notice and ordered Ah Qi to post it in the porridge shed. He was afraid that the people would be illiterate, so he even had people stand by the notice and read it to everyone.

When they saw someone posting the notice, people gathered around them one after another.

Passerby A: "What is this written?"

Passerby B: “I don’t know, this official, what does the notice say?”

The officers and soldiers explained

"The Princess Regent has an order. From tomorrow onwards, we will no longer provide free porridge. Except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, everyone must work to receive meals. Everyone will go to the city gate to register at [-] o'clock tomorrow."

After listening to what the officers and soldiers said, some were happy and some were worried.

Everyone asked in a hurry

"Master, what do you mean, princess?"

"Yes, sir, will you stop giving porridge from tomorrow? What will we do?"

"That's right, Princess, isn't this not giving people a way to live? Oh, how can we live?"

The official said, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."

Everyone became quiet and waited eagerly for the official to speak.

Official: "What the princess means is that you have to work to have food. Those who want to receive work should go to the city gate to register and receive work tomorrow at nine o'clock. Those who have done the work will be fed with white rice."

Now everyone heard clearly, Yi Po said

"Oh, isn't this going to kill my old lady? How can I move around with my old bones?"

As he spoke, he started to cry.

The official glanced at the speaker, "The old, weak, sick and disabled don't have to go to work to receive porridge, but they have to register at the city gate tomorrow. Only those who have registered can receive it. Do you understand?"

Only then did everyone realize that there was no happy look on their faces. They used to get porridge for free, but now they have to work, so naturally they were unhappy.

Just when everyone was talking about it, a man in the crowd said loudly

"Why, the prince used to give porridge every day, why does this princess ask us to work when she comes?"

Everyone agrees

"That's right, isn't disaster relief what the government should do? Why should we be asked to work?"

Listening to the discussion getting louder and louder, Ah Qi, who was hiding behind the wall, was about to come out to discuss, when an inconsistent voice came.

"Isn't it natural to work and eat? Why does it seem wrong in your eyes? Giving porridge can help for a while, but it can last a lifetime. Don't worry, sir, I will be the first to go tomorrow."

Ah Qi glanced at the person who spoke, and saw that although this person was wearing patchy clothes, he was also clean. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looked thin, frail, and bookish.

At this time another person echoed:

"That's right. I'll give you a bite to eat today. Just open your mouths with food. The prince doesn't owe you anything. I pity you and give you a bite to eat. You have to eat and wait to die. If I don't give it to you, you will I have to wait to die. I will go tomorrow too."

As more and more voices echoed, Ah Qi knew that today's mission was completed, so he went back to resume his life.

Wen Ning was very satisfied after hearing this, yes Qidao

"Tomorrow we will look for a piece of land outside the city, and some of the strong laborers aged over 16 and under 55 will be arranged to log wood.

Some were left to build temporary shacks to accommodate the sick and disabled, while the women, old and weak were left to clean the foundations and register clearly, especially those with skills.”

Ah Qi "is the princess"

One afternoon, Wen Ning bought many identity tags from a certain treasure. The modern materials could not be copied by the ancients to prevent anyone from counterfeiting them.

Early the next morning, Wen Ning was dressed in men's clothing and came out of the city gate to arrange the ten tables neatly. Wen Ning sat in front of one of the tables and distributed the identity cards to the people at the other tables.

The system has been explained a long time ago. Men are given blue identification tags with their names, specialties, and basic household registration information written on them.

Also backup in booklet

The woman was given a red ID tag, the same registration

Elderly people without labor force and young children with disabilities are issued green identity cards.

The people in front register, and those who get the ID badges go to another place and are assigned work by a dedicated person.

Registered craftsmen with skills, knowledge, medical knowledge, etc. will be arranged to wait in another place.

Because there were so many people, it took ten people a whole morning to register.

Wen Ning had his own considerations in deciding to place the refugee camp outside the city.

Wen Ning thought that it was a refugee shelter now. In the future, building factories, schools, hospitals, etc. would require a large area, and it could also be used as employee dormitories in the future.
