Poverty Alleviation Princess

Chapter 9

Two young men with black hair and white hair stood facing each other.

They didn't say they made an appointment to be together, they just happened to meet on the way to find Ji Jun and came together.Although the two of them almost walked side by side out of politeness, but if you want to talk about the friendship between the two...

That's really not the case.

Although the world says that dealing with smart people is easy.

But if there are smart people on both sides, it will not be worry-free at all, but brain-burning.If I had to make an analogy, it would probably be 'they are all foxes playing in Liao Zhai for a thousand years'.

Anyway, Nara Katsuichi didn't like dealing with Senju Tobema very much.I believe that if it wasn't for Ji Jun's reasons, Qianshou Feijian would probably not be willing to cooperate with him.

But Qianshou's patriarch, Qianshouzhujian is a bit interesting.

But it's just interesting, the most important thing now is to report the situation to Ji Jun.

After all, I accidentally gained a little bit more when I went out this time.

Of course, it cannot be described as "harvest", after all, in fact, it is more "cumbersome" than "harvest".

Nara Katsura took a look at the emaciated young man who stumbled behind him and Senju Fujian.This was the leader of the refugees he met on the way back.

He actually didn't know if it was right for him to bring these people back.

After all, if it is only analyzed from a rational point of view, this is undoubtedly a loss-making behavior. Neither he nor Ji Jun will get any benefit from it.But when it comes to people, it can't be expressed in terms of "losing" or "earning" so easily.

But thinking of what Ji Jun had said to him before, he felt that he should still do it.

Perhaps because he is used to seeing Ji Jun's actions, he occasionally feels that it is easier to help and save something than to kill. If he was really so used to death, he would not have run away with his younger brother back then. Such a thankless medicine merchant came out.

So when Ah Yuan came out to see his little money... no, it was Nara who could bring him a little money, what he saw was such a subtle triangular scene.

The black-haired Nara Katsuichi and the white-haired Senshoubo stood on the left and right, and a little behind them was a shrinking young man.I said he was a young man because he looked quite tall, but if he was just talking about his appearance, he might only be in the [-]th or [-]th grade.He slumped his shoulders, bent his body slightly, and tried hard to reduce his sense of existence.However, in the empty vestibule, no matter how much you shrink, it is useless.

At a glance, A Yuan saw him who was out of tune with the whole background.

She blinked: "Nara, this is?"

The black-haired young man whose name was called turned around and saluted her:

"I bought it on the road."

It is said to be buying, but in fact it is just providing food that will keep them from starving to death.

"……purchase?"

A Yuan froze for a moment.

Nara Katsuichi then explained: "The refugees who voluntarily sold themselves on the way back, because you said before, if you encounter them, you can bring them back, and I will bring them back."

Following Nara Katsuichi's words, the timid young man also knelt down with a plop.The body almost fell to the ground, humbled to the dust.

"Please, please take Ji Jun in, we can do anything, as long as we have a little food... No, as long as Ji Jun allows us to dig wild vegetables from the forest, we can support ourselves, just ask, just ask for a shelter place!"

"That's not why you brought back a bunch of useless kids."

The unexpected first opening of Qianshouban, he frowned and looked at Nara, as if he wanted to see the clue of doing so from his face.

Taking in refugees is one of the main ways to increase the labor force, but they are young and middle-aged people who can only be used after a short rest, not teenage carrot heads or thin women.It's not that such a person cannot be used, but it takes a lot of time to use it, and during this period, a lot of food and supplies will be consumed.

These people may not be a big deal to rich daimyos or wealthy households, but for Ji Jun, who is not rich himself, it is undoubtedly an extremely heavy pressure for a large amount of supplies that have been consumed by those people before.

Especially now that it is not yet harvest time, Ji Jun's food is mainly consumed.

Coupled with the cold winter that will come later, their arrival at this time is of no benefit other than increasing the burden.

"Yes or no, it can only be judged by Ji Jun." Nara was rightly the deputy of Qianshou Feijian, the Qianshou clan.Although he definitely can't beat him, but he is also serving Ji Jun, and no one is more noble than anyone else.

What's more, his Qianshoubeijian consumes Ji Jun's property, but Nara Katsuichi can help Ji Jun bring more wealth.If you have to say it, as far as the public is concerned, your own side is even better.

Ah Yuan didn't care about the conversation between the two, she just suddenly remembered that before Nara Katsuichi left, she once said, "It doesn't matter if you meet refugees and bring them back."

At that time, I just felt that Mr. Hashirama had built enough houses and had enough food for the time being. It didn’t matter if he happened to meet displaced refugees and brought them back. It was better than turning a blind eye and letting people wait to die.

Of course, there is no need to deliberately look for it, after all, she is indeed not rich...

But I didn't expect that he would bring back more than 80 people after he went out.And still, most of them belong to children.

When everyone was brought in front of him, A Yuan was shocked when he saw the people kneeling in front of him.

There are more than 20 adults (mostly women) and more than 50 children. The youngest is still being held in the arms, but the one who is almost skinny has only a handful of bones left.

Being led to bow together, she or he is undoubtedly uncomfortable, but her crying is so weak that there is almost no sound, and the outstretched arms look like dry branches, with tiny fingers It's as if it will break if you touch it.Not at all rounded like a baby.

According to Katsuichi Nara, it was brought back from the three deserted villages when he returned from the Land of Fire.

Their country is no longer there, and most of the young and middle-aged men were taken away by the conscription and did not come back. Originally, they were just barely getting by, and there was an epidemic again.Although it did not spread to them, the daimyo who captured their country before withdrew his troops and returned to his own country immediately after looting the country. Before leaving, he burned all the things he could not take with him. Those who have nothing are left behind.

They even drove them away because of the epidemic that happened here, and kept them from approaching their own country.

They have nowhere to go and no shelter.Everyone in other villages that survived by chance is also in danger, let alone worry about them.Even if they want to rebuild their homes, they don't have the tools that can be used.They had no choice but to wander in a barren place and rely on the bark of wild vegetables to survive. When they encountered passing caravans, they would rush to sell themselves or do some coolies to earn a living.

It's a pity that the news that there has been an epidemic here has already spread-even if they have never had an epidemic, almost no one comes here again, and people who pass by occasionally will not buy them. ok.But among these people, children, women and children accounted for the majority, and they could hardly do heavy work, and they became weaker because of the lack of food.

Weak, unable to do strenuous work, unable to do strenuous work, unable to earn rations.

It's such a vicious circle.

Just when they couldn't even wander and could only wait for death in the shack in despair, they met Nara Katsuichi on the way back and were brought here by him.

Kneeling in front of A Yuan.

However, from Ah Yuan’s point of view, there are more than [-] adults, but many of them are only seventeen or eighteen years old... In modern times, they are just studying for the college entrance examination, or in front of the mobile phone for the people they like or the opinions they support. And at the age of [-] rounds of fighting with others online, in this world, these people are already strong enough to support a family.If it is a ninja like Mr. Madara or Mr. Hashirama, it is the successor of the next generation.

However, no matter how big or small they are, in front of A Yuan, there is a sudden increase of more than 80 mouths, more than 80 living people who need to be fed... all expenses.Of course, there are benefits, at least the progress of the task has been greatly improved.It's enough to make up later.

Anyway, we have to gather 1000 people, adults are people, children are people, there is no difference.

But this world is so strange.

Human life is cheap, but raising people really costs money.However, considering that the grain harvest is about to be harvested, it is not unaffordable.Compared with the cost of raising people, the next woolen making craft can obviously bring more benefits. Considering that knitting sweaters and scarves can be done by teenagers after they have learned it well, then the things in front of them People are not just burdens.

But before that.

A Yuan looked at these people with numb and bitter expressions, shivering and cowardly movements, raised her hand and pretended to take something out of her sleeves—although in most ancient (?) costumes, the sleeves were used to put things, but hers were not included. pieces.

After all, when the artist is designing the appearance, he doesn't need to consider such a practical thing as the sleeves being used to hold things.

She had to find a way to 'live' these people.

Referring to people's reactions before, she decided to take out the killer item-sugar.

A Yuan dug out a large bag of hard fruit candies in his inventory, and then waved to Uchiha Izuna beside him.

Whether it is to celebrate a new life, or to let them know that there is such a taste of 'sweet' in the world, she thinks this is a good gift.

However, before she could express her intentions, she saw the disapproving expression of the young man beside her.

With Uchiha Quanna's eyesight, he can naturally see what Ji Jun took out, but it is precisely because he knows that he disagrees.

'Sweet' is the most expensive flavor of the day.

Sugar is something that only those rich enough have the right to indulge in.

But Ji Jun always took it out and distributed it to these ordinary people again and again.This is not what a nobleman, a Ji Jun should do.And such a gift may also lead to greed.

If someone takes such a gift for granted and thinks it should not be done, and takes actions that should not be done, then the cart before the horse.

"Ji Jun, this is not right."

He knelt beside Ah Yuan, blocking her bag of colorful candies.

"They're still children." She pushed the bag again, then looked at Uchiha Quanna's still serious expression of disapproval, thought about the similarities between the two Uchiha brothers, and suddenly added another sentence.

"Don't worry, I have prepared better ones for you and Mr. Madara."

Peace of mind, no one can miss you without anyone.

Uchiha Izumi:? ? ?
