Deadly sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. Bring it.”
Demoness Ruo Nan put away the dagger, stretched out her slender jade hand and hooked it in front of Zhu Pingan, and said in a delicate voice.
“Bring what?”Zhu Pingan was flabbergasted for a moment, not understanding what Demoness Ruo Nan meant by that.
“What are you pretending to be confused about, of course it’s the black money you received from the crooked merchants. Although what you said seems to be quite reasonable, and I am mercifully hosting your head for the time being, but the black hearted money you received from the grain merchants, you can’t argue with it, right? Bring it, these ill-gotten gains will be used as your money to buy your life for this month.”
Demoness Ruonan blankly glanced at Zhu Pingan and said without any goodwill, her small hand almost reaching out to Zhu Pingan’s face.
Zhu Pingan sniffed, shook his head, and rejected categorically, “Then you’d better take my head.”
“Zhu Pingan! Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?!”Demoness Ruonan’s pretty face instantly went cold, glaring hard at Zhu Pingan like an angry lioness, pulling out her dagger again.
This stinking bastard, really hopeless!
Demoness Ruonan looked at Zhu Pingan’s eyes again covered with a layer of thick disappointment, just now it was not easy for Zhu Pingan’s senses to recover quite a lot, this moment to Zhu Pingan’s senses again straight line cliff type decline.
“I’m sorry, this silver is not mine, it’s the 100,000 people of Jingnan, I can’t give it to you.”In the face of the sharp blade added, Zhu Pingan had a calm face, a pair of eyes rippled and looked at the Demoness Ruonan, and said in a serious manner.
“I bah! Zhu Pingan you also know that these silver are not yours ah, you also know that these silver are the 100,000 people of Jingnan ah! One hundred thousand people’s fat and cream, you are not afraid of propping up a dog official like you! Zhu Pingan, you’ve really disappointed me! Auntie, I regret it, I regret it! I want to take back what I just said!”
Demoness Ruonan angry face, stretching out her delicate jade hand grabbed Zhu Pingan’s collar, angrily glaring at Zhu Pingan, teeth biting “Gege” sound, emotional almost did not spit Zhu Pingan face.
“Flammable and explosive explosives ……Your character is really impulsive ……”Zhu Pingan calmly skimmed his mouth.
Upon hearing this, the demoness Ruonan was instantly furious to explode in place, her face glaring at Zhu Pingan, gritting her teeth, “Auntie my character is still not impulsive enough, I should have met you face to face, impulsively poking you seven or eight transparent holes, saving cheap you this dog official to live so much more time.”
“Why can’t you just listen to me finish my sentence.”Zhu Pingan calmly looked at Demoness Ruo Nan and slowly spoke.
“Bah! You charge black hearted money, what’s there to say!”Demoness Ruo Nan lifted her dagger on Zhu Pingan’s neck.
“This silver is the key for me to save the people of Jingnan. Although Jingnan is in Jiangnan and is more affluent than other places, and the people have more savings, not all of the common people can afford the grain price of 2,500 Wen per stone. I have already ordered people to map and count all the poor people in Jingnan, and I will regularly take out a portion of this silver to send to these poor people who cannot afford to buy food to aid them.”Zhu Pingan ignored the dagger on his neck and spoke without changing his face.
What? Distributing silver to the people who are unable to afford enough food?
Unexpectedly, the little dog official, no, Zhu Pingan was quite humane.
Demoness Ruo Nan sniffed, a pair of cold eyes instantly regained their temperature, the hand that tightly clutched Zhu Pingan’s collar was also loosened, and also smoothly helped Zhu Pingan to smooth the wrinkled collar, the dagger that had already been tightly attached to Zhu Pingan’s neck was also retracted back, and was only vainly gripped in his hand.
“In addition, I’m going to start a food-for-work programme from tomorrow ……”Zhu Pingan continued.
“What is the meaning of food for work?”Demoness Ruo Nan asked in a delicate voice in disbelief, her voice no longer having a trace of coldness.
“To put it simply, it means organising the disaster victims’ people to carry out engineering construction, well, it means working, such as rebuilding homes, digging water conservancy facilities, building city walls, constructing anti-Japanese sentry forts, reclaiming wasteland, etc., and I issue them with wages for their work, in lieu of direct relief.”Zhu Pingan explained, “Firstly, it can form a group of projects that are beneficial to the long-term governance of Jingnan, secondly, it can be a way for the disaster-stricken people to obtain the necessary income and have a livelihood security, thirdly, it can stimulate the will of the disaster-stricken people to be self-reliant and hardworking, and to get rid of the negative thoughts of ‘waiting, relying, and wanting’, and it can also consume theirExcess energy to stabilise society ……These silvers are also the basis for me to carry out food-for-work, the wages of the disaster victims people.”
“Hmph, Zhu Pingan you are really good at calculating. In the past, the government used to directly give food and porridge to the people ……You’re the only one who’s different from the others, and you still let the people work, and you’re not afraid of the people poking you in the spine and cursing you.”
Demoness Ruo Nan had already completely put away her dagger, but on her mouth, she still sarcasm Zhu Pingan twice.
“The incorruptible do not eat food handed out in contempt. I’m letting the people eat their own food, letting the people live with more dignity. It can save 100,000 people and make Jingnan long-lasting peace, if the people curse, let them curse, it’s not like I’m going to lose a hair.”
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and said in a serious manner.
“The reasoning has all been said by you ……”Demoness Ruo Nan blankly glanced at Zhu Pingan and pouted.
In her eyes, Zhu Pingan seemed to glow.
“Now you understand what I mean when I say that these silver are the 100,000 people of Jingnan, this is taken from the people and used for the people.”Zhu Pingan smiled faintly, his eyes burning as he looked at the Demoness Ruo Nan, “That’s why these silver can’t be given to you. If it is given to you, all of this silver goes into your cottage’s private pockets, right? By your big bowl of wine and big scale to share the gold, paper drunkenness and get away with it, right? Well, you are a heroine, even if you have the heart to rob the rich and help the poor, then the rest of your cottage can also regard money as dirt? Well, even if the rest of you can treat money like dirt, are you capable of counting the poor and distributing the silver to those who need it most? Do you have the ability to make the most of it?”
Demoness Ruo Nan flinched in the face of Zhu Pingan’s gaze, she could not guarantee it. If she got these silver, Hu Lao San and the others in the cottage would definitely scream for a big scale to share the gold, they were thinking of doing this job and eating and drinking for the rest of their lives, and they also wanted their cubs to eat and drink as well. At most, the most out of one-third, no, maybe up to one-tenth of it, to some poor people. Money moves people’s hearts, the cottage has many people and many ideas, even if she and her old man have prestige, they can’t be bent on having their own way, they also have to consider the opinions of the people below, otherwise the people below will definitely turn against them.
“Hmph, then I have to supervise you all the more, to see if these silver is not want you say so take from the people to use in the people, if you dare to greed and ink a copper, auntie I also want to cut off the head of the dog that is sent on your neck!”
After the demoness Ruo Nan perceived that she had lost the eye contact, she forcefully puffed out her chest and hummed to get back her face.
