    More than 2,000 monks were dismissed from Daxiangguo Temple.

    Abbot Haiwu only bought a thousand ultimatums, so there were more than a thousand people who could not stay.

    Except for more than two hundred people who are willing to return home and live an ordinary life, the rest of the monks are not willing to return to the world.

    They all bowed down to the golden statue of the Buddha in the Daxiangguo Temple and refused to leave.

    Among the remaining monks, whether they were older or younger, they all felt sad when they saw this.

    They all begged Abbot Haiwu and a group of elders, hoping to keep these monks as much as possible.

    Abbot Haiwu and the elders certainly kept their word at the Daxiangguo Temple, but in such a situation, it was impossible to use strong methods.

    After some discussion, they finally found a stopgap solution.

    That is, these more than 700 monks are all assigned to work in various shops and industries of Daxiangguo Temple. They are equivalent to people hired by them, not the monks in the temple.

    These people must still maintain the habits of monks in terms of diet and morning and evening classes, and must not violate the temple's rules.

    Only by maintaining this state, the Daxiangguo Temple will promise to buy them certificates one after another in the next five years to allow them to return to the Daxiangguo Temple.

    This is the best solution. At least it allows these monks to have a place to stay and work around the temple without leaving their "home".

    This strategy of Daxiangguo Temple was quickly followed by other temples and Taoist temples.

    We try our best to send people away and return to secular life, but those who are unwilling to leave are given arrangements without status.

    The imperial court knew about this matter.

    Originally, Feng Yuqiang, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was very dissatisfied and felt that the implementation was not thorough, but the Queen Mother invited him there, and he never mentioned it again after he came back.

    no way.

    The Queen Mother had all requested from him. No matter how resolute Feng Yuqiang was, he could only abide by the Queen Mother's advice.

    Seeing that the Queen Mother came forward for her, the five largest Taoist temples including Daxiangguo Temple immediately announced that they would increase the amount of porridge again and welcome poor people to receive it.

    Not only them, but many temples and Taoist temples that were previously struggling to save money have also increased the scale of assistance, and have received unanimous praise from the people.

    This time, Miao Yan didn¡¯t jump out at all.

    He happily took the 500,000 taels of silver allocated by Emperor Jinghe and went to continue the snow road clearing project and to provide relief to the people in various places in the Imperial Capital.

    ¡°In fact, for Miao Yan, clearing snowy roads is just a means, not the ultimate goal.

    He has only two ultimate goals.

    First, these victims cannot be in chaos. If they are in chaos, they will either lose their lives or they will all be killed. There is no third way.

    If you want to keep them from being chaotic, the best way is to give them something to do. If they have something to do to consume their energy, they will naturally not be easily incited.

    Second, let the victims not starve to death or freeze to death.

    It¡¯s easy not to starve to death, just give them work.

    If you want to prevent large-scale freezing to death, clearing the snow will make it easier to transport coal, which will greatly ease the pressure of winter.

    By the way, the roads became smoother, and other daily necessities were transported from various places for the victims and people in the capital to buy, which was also an excellent way to protect their lives.

    ¡­¡­

    Master Miao was not only busy himself, but he also did not allow the briquette workshop of Prince Yu's Mansion to stop, and even urged it fiercely.

    The Yuwangfu Briquette Workshop has decided to supply briquettes on a large scale, but the problem is that such a large workshop needs to prepare so many things, and it is impossible to do it in a day or two.

    Including site selection, recruitment, purchase and transportation of various materials, sales, etc.

    First of all, the first location selection is a headache.

    Coal is a highly polluting industry. Even just making briquettes will produce a lot of pollution.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????? together. Do you dare to put such an industry in the Imperial City?

    This is much more infuriating than refining lard, so be careful of people just destroying the place.

    It¡¯s not like they can¡¯t do it.

    If it is placed around the Imperial City, you cannot place it in the water source, otherwise the coal will pollute the water source. The people of the Imperial City will make a fuss, and the officials will make an even bigger fuss.

    It doesn¡¯t work if it¡¯s too far.

    It¡¯s snowing heavily now and the roads are difficult to walk. If?, he said a little heavy, "But don't take it too seriously, Your Highness. We have paid enough for the casualties.

    ¡°They are people who think of the difficult consequences when they go out to do things. They all do it for a living and have no complaints.  "

    Liu Mingqi also sighed. In modern times, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no casualties in every industry, let alone in ancient times.

    Although the Dakang Dynasty has been at peace for a long time, and there have been many good emperors, especially the current emperor's uncle, who has done a lot for the people, there are still so many people who don't have enough to eat and are fighting for their lives.

    Even the elderly and women are like this, let alone the men who are the heads of the family.

    Thinking of this, Liu Mingqi once again looked forward to sweet potatoes.

    With the ultra-high output, at least every family can have something to eat - even if they are full, there is hope for survival.

    Chi San changed the topic at this time, "This time because it is very urgent, the wages we pay are not low. The average wage is one hundred cents a day. If the supervisors think that they have done well and worked hard that day, they will be paid again."  Add fifty cents.

    In addition, three meals of bran porridge and bran steamed buns a day are enough, but many of them do not eat bran bran steamed buns for dinner and want to take them home to feed their families. For this reason, some people often faint from hunger at night.

    Now we have a new rule. Once you find someone who has been hungry three times in a row and has uneaten bran buns on them, you will no longer be allowed to come here.  This reduced most cases of starvation.  "

    The young man tilted his head slightly.

    ¡° One hundred cents a day covers three meals, which should be quite high for the victims.

    Although it is not as good as the 200 yuan that provides three meals a day for the mainstay of their family, the intensity of work between the two is incomparable.

    ¡° Tens of thousands of old people and women were summoned to do the work here. In fact, the work efficiency is not high.

    ????????????????????????????? However, in order to help them tide over the difficulties, this loss can be tolerated.

    ¡°When the disaster is over, we can find people from surrounding villages and towns to make briquettes, which will be more standardized and efficient.

    Don¡¯t say that briquettes are only used in winter. When boiling water and cooking on weekdays, it is much more convenient and cheaper than wood and coal.

    Even in the 1920s, many Chinese people were using briquettes, which shows that the practicality is first-class and powerful.

    As his thoughts passed, Liu Mingqi warned: "The wages will be like this first, and then people will spread cinders on the road to make it easier for them to walk as much as possible."

    This is also a modern method. Just use cinders to spread on the snow to prevent the ground from being slippery.

    Chi San replied: "Understood."

    There is not a lot of anything here, but there is a lot of coal.

    "In addition, we need to encourage them to produce more briquettes Well, there must be many people willing to come in and work, right?"

    "Yes, there are at least 10,000 or 20,000 left, but firstly, we cannot use that many people, and secondly, some of them are not in good health and cannot be used."

    "Select about 5,000 more and let them work the night shift. The demand outside is too great, so we can produce as much as we can."

    "Well, okay." Chi San nodded, "That means our people are working harder and need to change shifts more diligently."

    "There's nothing we can do about it. It's really hard to ask the guards to take over. Anyway, all the security outside is taken over by the patrol yamen. There's no need to worry about safety."

    "Okay, then I'll tell them."

    After a pause, Liu Mingqi said again: "It's not the same thing to eat porridge and steamed buns every day. Didn't I ask you to provide them with some meat? Why haven't you gotten it yet?"

    "Pork is also a hot commodity in winter. Everyone is preparing to eat it during the Chinese New Year. We only get pork every two or three days on average here. We can't eat it all in a hurry. It's good to have two pieces of meat in the bowl at each meal." Chi.  San smiled bitterly and said: "Besides, the roads are inconvenient now and transportation is troublesome. Boss Lu has been driven crazy by me. It is said that he has gone to the neighboring Xinyu County and is desperately buying pork!"

    Boss Lu is Lu Gui. He was the one who bought lard in Xiaoge Village. Now, with the support of Prince Yu's Palace, his business is getting bigger and bigger. He is already the largest pork buyer in Imperial Capital Palace.

    Even he was forced to travel so far to purchase. It seems that there is indeed not enough pork nearby.

    This is still the traditional smelly pork.

    If you switch to the new type of concentrated-fed pork raised by Liu Mingqi, don¡¯t even think about it!

    In fact, if it¡¯s summer, there will be a lot of fish to catch in the river, and fish is also meat!

    But it is winter now, and the technology for winter fishing has not yet been developed, so we can only give up fishing in this area.

    It can also be seen from this that in ancient winter, for ordinary people, staying alive was the greatest victory!

    Looking at the old people and women in the workshop who were busy but also showing positive energy, Liu Mingqi felt a little comforted.

    ¡°At least I can help them while getting rich.
