Immediately someone asked:
"I don't know how much money Hou Ye plans to donate to help the refugees today?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at him jokingly.
This question is very tricky. If you say too little, you will inevitably be ridiculed; if you say too much, you will be criticized. After all, he is an official of the imperial court.
Jia Jue smiled lightly: "I don't donate a penny."
what?
These words made everyone in the field stunned, and no one expected Jia Jue to answer like this.
But then, all kinds of condemnation came one after another:
"Heh, one of them doesn't pay a penny. Is this the style of Lord Hou?"
"It's a pity that the people of the world still speak for you, it's unbelievable that they are so cold-blooded and ruthless!"
"Bah! You are a rich and heartless shameless person! Just look at me, I will donate 5000 taels!"
"What a benevolence and perseverance, it's unbelievable that it is such a benevolence and righteousness!"
……
Miaoyu and Mudan also looked at Jia Jue in surprise, they never thought that Jia Jue would be so ruthless, even unwilling to make gestures.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you, my lord." Miao Yu glanced at Jia Jue, her beautiful face was full of disappointment.
But at this time, she suddenly heard Jia Jue say again:
"I don't donate a penny. However, if there are refugees with quick hands and feet, they can come to the Yanzheng Yamen to find me. I have work for them, and the daily wage is fifty pennies."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again.
Miao Yu, who was originally full of disappointment, had a strange look in her beautiful eyes.
Jia Jue had just come from the capital, so there was no work to do, so it was nothing more than giving the refugees a chance to support themselves.
Wouldn't it be better for them to get money for their labor than to just give them food?
They have hands and feet, and they are not beggars, so why should they live on charity?
Jia Jue's move not only allowed them to get enough food, but also took into account their dignity.
It is really the best policy.
She took a deep look at Jia Jue and praised: "Master, this method is excellent, Miao Yu admires it."
At this moment, everyone came back to their senses, looking at Jia Jue with astonishment in their eyes, this method is indeed a good one.
At this time, Jia Jue said lightly: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."
Miaoyu looked at Jia Jue and murmured over and over again the words "Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish". Every time she repeated it, the look in her beautiful eyes became brighter.
After a while, she suddenly said to Jia Jue:
"Young Master's words are even reasonable and famous, and Miaoyu is taught. This is a great kindness, and Miaoyu is willing to follow the young master and pray for the young master."
The voice fell, and there was an uproar in the field.
They were fighting here right now, their faces were red, but Jia Jue only used a fluffy sentence to make Miaoyu take the initiative to "fall into her arms".
How can they bear it?
In particular, in their view, Jia Jue is an outsider, so why should he grab something from them?
"Wait a minute!"
A voice rang out.
Everyone followed the prestige, but saw a short and fat young man standing up and shouting to Miaoyu:
"Lady Miaoyu, my family is short of manpower. There are only a few thousand refugees in your monastery. I want them all. One hanging every month for food and shelter."
Everyone laughed when they heard the words:
"Okay! Mr. Huang is so brave! Admire! Admire!"
"Quick! You are worthy of being a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River!"
"What kind of fish and fishermen are just some refugees, Mr. Huang has raised them!"
Amidst the compliments from the crowd, Mr. Huang gave Jia Jue a sidelong glance, and snorted coldly, "You think you're an elephant because you have a pig's nose with an onion in it?"
Then he looked at Miaoyu again, with a wicked smile on his face:
"Layman Miaoyu, isn't my solution much better than his? Layman, why don't you go to my house?"
Miaoyu hesitated when she heard the words. According to reason, Mr. Huang's method is indeed very good for the refugees. They not only pay wages, but also cover board and lodging.
But she always felt that there seemed to be something wrong.
"Layman Miaoyu, it is obvious which one is better and which one is worse, why are you still so hesitant?"
"Mr. Huang is a powerful family, and it's just a piece of cake to arrange thousands of people."
"That's right, this matter is a great thing for the refugees, why shouldn't the lay people?"
"Layman, please make a quick decision."
……
Seeing Miaoyu's hesitation, everyone tried to persuade her.
Under their persuasion, Miaoyu was unavoidably shaken, and her point of view gradually shifted to Mr. Huang.
However, at this moment, Jia Jue suddenly smiled softly.
Chapter 295
Just when Miaoyu was about to make a choice, Jia Jue chuckled lightly.
This chuckle was not loud, but it was very insulting. Everyone looked at him, and Mr. Huang also glared at him:
"why are you laughing!"
Jia Jue smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, Mr. Huang, please do what you want."
He said that, how could Mr. Huang believe it, he stared at Jia Jue fiercely, and shouted:
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. The one I hate the most is a person like you who hides his head and shows his tail!"
Jia Jue glanced at him and said lightly:
"Mr. Huang, since you said so, I have a few questions for you to answer."
"Just ask!" The young master Huang's face was full of disdain.
Jia Jue nodded: "I wonder how many servants Mr. Huang bought at home this year?"
"More than five hundred people." Mr. Huang raised his head, his face full of pride. There are not many families that can use so many servants.
Jia Jue continued to ask, "I don't know, where are these five hundred people now?"
"You don't need to ask, they are all in my house." Mr. Huang looked at Jia Jue with an idiot's eyes.
"Is that true?" Jia Jue raised his eyebrows.
"How can this be fake!" Mr. Huang said angrily.
"Are they all okay?" Jia Jue squinted at him.
"Nonsense! They are not good, so why are they still dead?" Mr. Huang scolded angrily.
The rest of the people also looked at Jia Jue with playful eyes, and the meaning in their eyes was clearly discernible:
That's it?Is this what you, the most talented man in the world, are asking?
I'm afraid a three-year-old child wouldn't ask such questions, would he?
Miaoyu also frowned slightly, looking at Jia Jue with puzzled eyes, these questions seem to have nothing to do with the matter in front of her, right?
Jia Jue smiled lightly and said nothing more.
Everyone sneered when they saw this, and their eyes were full of sarcasm. They thought that Jia Jue was speechless.
That Young Master Huang snorted coldly at Jia Jue, then looked at Miaoyu, and said with a smile:
"Miaoyu, this matter is settled, you can follow me back home today."
Seeing his smile, Miaoyu didn't immediately agree.
Everyone booed after seeing this:
"Layman Miaoyu, Mr. Huang invites you so kindly, you should accept it."
"That's right, it's just chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, so don't worry."
"Hahaha! Congratulations, Mr. Huang!"
……
The words of the crowd made Mr. Huang laugh out loud.
But at this moment, a servant suddenly rushed in from the outside in a hurry and came to his side:
"Master, something is wrong, master, something happened!"
Mr. Huang was proud of himself, but the boy's words made his pride disappear. He slapped the boy angrily:
"What's your name!"
The little servant covered his face and cried: "Young master, many Jinyi guards have come to the house, and several wives of the master and wife have been taken away!"
"Ah!?" Mr. Huang's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words, and the fat on his face trembled, "What's going on?"
The servant cried loudly: "I don't know either, that Jin Yiwei suddenly rushed into the mansion and grabbed anyone he saw, it's extremely vicious!"
Young Master Huang's expression changed suddenly, and he turned around and left immediately.
boom!
At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people rushed in.
They were wearing flying fish suits, with embroidered spring knives on their waists, they were Jin Yiwei.
