Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 168, the way of disaster relief
"Wan Carpenter, Wan Carpenter, come out quickly, Mr. Liu has sent us fish!"

Guanshi Liao's voice came from outside Wan Carpenter's house, and Wan Carpenter hurried out when he heard it.

As soon as he came outside, he saw Guanshi Liao was walking towards his house with Mr. Liu Jin and Mr. Liu, and there was a group of people beside Mr. Liu, each carrying a load of seafood.

"Meet Mr. Liu~"

Wan Carpenter hurried forward to salute Liu Jin.

"There's no need to be too polite. I'm also here to thank Mr. Wan this time. After Mr. Wan entered our shipyard, he worked hard, studied hard, and made a lot of contributions to the shipyard."

Liu Jin quickly smiled and said to Wan Carpenter, at this time, with Liu Jin's arrival, people from every household in the entire family area began to come out to watch the excitement.

In front of many people, Liu Jin asked someone to reward Carpenter Wan with a load of sea goods, thanking him for his hard work for the shipyard all the time, and hoping that he would continue to make persistent efforts, study hard, specialize in research, work hard, etc.

After receiving a load of sea goods delivered by Liu Jin himself, Carpenter Wan almost knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Jin. As a carpenter, how has he ever been so beautiful?
Not only did he have a few taels of silver a month's wages, but he also lived in a brand-new, brand-new house. Now that there were seafood, Mr. Liu didn't forget them, and personally delivered them to his home.

At this moment, he was proud of being a carpenter from the bottom of his heart, and he also fell in love with life here in the shipyard and working for Liu Jin from the bottom of his heart. To those who truly appreciate their own talents, there will be a feeling in their hearts that a scholar will die for his confidant.

Carpenter Wan is like this at this moment. He has made up his mind in his heart that he wants to spend the rest of his life here in the shipyard, build ships for Liu Jin for the rest of his life, and even let his son and grandson give them all. Liu Jin builds ships and builds ships for Liu Jin's family from generation to generation.

Like Carpenter Wan, the technicians in other shipyards have received the fish from Liu Jin. Liu Jin, who has reached level 3 carpenter, sent the fish himself. As for the carpenters of level 1 and 2, there are The steward of the shipyard sent it up. Of course, the salary is definitely different from that of a level 3 carpenter. There is only a basket of fish.

On this point, Liu Jin still does this deliberately, the purpose is to encourage the employees in the shipyard to study hard, continue to study, and improve their skills. The better the skills, the higher the level, the better the treatment.

"Old Liu, old Liu~"

Liu Jin had just finished delivering the fish at the shipyard, and was about to go to the cement factory to see how the first batch of cement was being fired, when Zhu Houzhao hurried over to him, seemingly in a hurry.

"His Royal Highness!"

When Liu Jin saw Zhu Houzhao, he hurriedly saluted.

"Free, free."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, quickly signaled Liu Jin not to be too polite, and then said: "Old Liu, how many sea fish are there?"

"There's still a lot left. Up to now, we've only used up less than [-] catties of what we eat and give away, and there are still more than [-] catties left."

Liu Jin thought for a while and quickly replied.

"Great, give me all these fish. I'm going to take them there to help the victims. You don't know that the famine is getting worse and worse. There are already tens of thousands of hungry people gathered here in Tianjin. The victims even ate up all the bark, that scene was so tragic, I will never forget it in my life.”

Zhu Houzhao seemed to be frightened, with lingering fears in his heart.

"How does His Highness plan to provide disaster relief?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, thought for a while and asked.

"Of course, these fish are distributed for free. Each victim receives one catty per day, which is enough for one day. We still have [-] catties of fish left, which is enough to feed tens of thousands of victims here in Tianjin for two days. In two days, our boat can go out to sea and fish again."

"Based on this calculation, we can save tens of thousands of disaster victims by going out to sea to fish."

Without even thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao said very decisively.

His method has always been a method of disaster relief. Generally, when a famine occurs, opening a warehouse to release grain is not casually released, but rice is boiled into porridge water, which does not need to be too thick.

Then give the victims one bowl at a time once a day. Although the amount of one bowl makes the victims not full, this amount is enough to maintain the minimum needs, and they can hang themselves without starving to death. Even in the past.

This is a method of disaster relief since ancient times, and it is also considered the most effective method of disaster relief, because it can save the most victims with the least amount of food.

As for the TV dramas of later generations that directly serve large bowls of white rice and put food directly, it must be that they did not study the ancient disaster relief methods carefully, and they were all blind shots.

Big bowls of white rice can fill people up, but food was limited in ancient times, especially in times of famine, and this food was extremely precious. How could it be possible to directly serve large bowls of white rice to victims of disasters?

As for releasing food directly, that is even more nonsense. How much of this food can reach the victims?
Will there be food looting?

These all need to be considered, so since ancient times, the way of disaster relief has been to cook porridge, and save as many people as possible with the least amount of food. This is the maximum use of food.

Zhu Houzhao obviously knew this too, so he also came up with the method of one catty of meat per person, so that more victims could be rescued with the least amount of food.

However, after Liu Jin heard Zhu Houzhao's method, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Your Highness, although this method of disaster relief is not bad, but the sea fish is ours, so we just take it out for nothing, and the sacrifice is our interests."

"Old Liu, what time is this? You still care about this little fish. If you really care about this little money, I will pay for it."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he curled his lips in displeasure and said, then looked at Liu Jin and said, "Old Liu, you were not like this before, why are you so fussy now, and you smell like copper?"

"Your Highness, these tens of thousands of catties of fish are nothing. As long as we have a boat, we can still catch hundreds of thousands of catties and millions of catties of sea fish. I, Liu Jin, are not stingy, nor am I the kind At the beginning, Xishan Coal Industry also supported thousands of refugees, and now tens of thousands of people rely on Xishan Coal Industry to live."

When Liu Jin heard it, he also said quickly: "Your Highness, I just think that we can't make people develop a kind of dependence. When we are doing disaster relief, we should actually guide everyone to support themselves and use the strength of the victims. That's the best way to do disaster relief."

　Is the disaster relief in ancient times the same as the TV series?Does anyone know?
