Chapter 163 It's Done
Qin Chuchu looked at Feng Qi and nodded decisively.
"Yes, that's what happened!"
This was indeed what she had promised those people, and it was no secret. I don't know why this guy asked this.
Feng Qi glanced at his master and then looked at Qin Chuchu.
"Princess, I have something to say. I wonder if you would be willing to listen."
"I don't want to listen!" Qin Chuchu refused directly.
Looking at this guy's eyes rolling around, you can tell he is not holding his fart well.
“…” Feng Qi’s mouth twitched.
He looked at his master beside him with a confused look, wondering why the princess didn't follow the rules!
Shouldn't she have said she was willing to listen, or come to listen? Why did she refuse outright?
This is killing me, how can I continue?
She looked at the man beside her for help, and undoubtedly received a cold look from the man.
This loser's acting skills are getting worse and worse, even the stupid woman can see through him.
Seeing that the princess was about to go back, Feng Qi hurriedly called her.
"Princess, I just felt sorry for those refugees and wanted to say something for them."
"Hmm?" Qin Chuchu turned around.
He stared straight at Feng Qi, not knowing what he meant. Those swindlers were fine, why did he need to criticize them?
Seeing Qin Chuchu stopped, Feng Qi didn't beat around the bush.
"Princess, I think it would be more practical to give them some money instead of giving them such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner."
"Give silver?" Qin Chuchu looked suspicious.
He turned around and sat back on the chaise longue, wanting to see what this guy meant.
“…………” Feng Qi was delighted.
He started talking like pouring beans.
"Princess, you know the situation of those refugees' families. Now that the New Year is approaching, I think they are all thinking about their families. Although they work very hard every day, I guess they are eager to go home.
You also know that they don't have much money. Let alone buying New Year's goods to go home, they probably can't even afford the travel fare.
Therefore, I think it would be better for the princess to save the money and give it to them so that they can buy some New Year's goods and go home for the reunion, which will save them face when the time comes."
After saying that, he glanced at Han Muchen who was fiddling with the teacup, hoping that his master's idea would work. Then there would be no need to pay allowances to the soldiers, and a lot of money could be saved.
"Didn't they say that all their family members died?" Qin Chuchu looked at Feng Qi in confusion.
I remember when we took in those refugees, they said their families had suffered a disaster, they had no relatives, and they had nowhere to go, so they came here.
I also thought that they had no relatives, so I made the New Year’s Eve dinner more sumptuous so that they could feel at home.
“…………” Feng Qi’s mouth twitched.
He looked at his master for help and actually forgot about this.
“…………”Han Muchen also frowned slightly.
He glanced at Qin Chuchu inadvertently. This stupid woman had a good memory. He had forgotten about this.
Seeing that Feng Qi and his master were speechless, Feng Liu quickly took over.
"Look at what the princess said, how could they die so cleanly? Many of them were separated from their families.
I heard from Aunt Liu that they haven't been in a good mood these past two days and have eaten much less than usual. I guess they are homesick or want to find their lost relatives, so I wanted to give you some advice.
Instead of buying them food, I might as well give them a reward. It’s Chinese New Year! Who doesn’t want to be reunited with their family?
Feng Liu looked like a bystander and spoke with a relaxed expression. Even Han Muchen looked at him with satisfaction.
This guy usually doesn't talk much, but unexpectedly he is quite helpful at critical moments. After hearing what he said, even he felt it made sense.
“…………” Qin Chuchu frowned.
He stared at Feng Liu. If he hadn't heard what he said, he really wouldn't have paid attention to these things. He thought that the refugees had good food and accommodation, and he had no other thoughts.
Come to think of it, it’s almost the New Year, and a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse. Who doesn’t want to reunite with family?
Thinking of this, she looked at Feng Liu seriously.
"How much silver do you think I should give each of them?"
She looked at Feng Liu. Since he paid more attention to the refugees, she thought he could help her.
“…………”Wind Six, Wind Seven.
The two looked at each other and saw ecstasy in each other's eyes.
The princess agreed immediately!
Wouldn't that mean they saved a lot of money? Although they were very excited in their hearts, they still looked calm on their faces.
"Princess, as far as I know, their home is not close to here. The cost of this trip, plus the New Year's goods, will be at least three taels of silver."
Feng Liu stretched out three fingers calmly, but he was not calm in his heart.
He looked at Qin Chuchu eagerly, afraid that she would say no.
"Well, fine, then give them three taels of silver each!"
Qin Chuchu nodded readily. Three taels of silver per person, more than 20,000 people, was more than 60,000 taels of silver. For her who was lavish, this was indeed not much.
“…………”Wind six and wind seven.
The two looked at each other proudly again. Since the princess agreed so quickly, the following words would be easier to say.
Feng Qi glanced at Feng Liu and motioned him to speak. After all, his mind had never been as sharp as it was today.
Feng Liu also felt that his brain was working very well today, so he didn't refuse and gave Qin Chuchu a thumbs up.
"The princess is so kind-hearted. Three taels of silver is enough for them to live at home for half a year!"
“…………”Qin Chuchu.
She was about to grin with pride, but then she froze and looked at Feng Liu in confusion.
"What do you mean? Are they not going to come back after they leave?"
From what he said, it seemed that the refugees would not come back after taking the silver.
"Of course. Although the food and accommodation here are good, there's no money to be made. Besides, who doesn't like living with family?"
Feng Liu spread his hands as a matter of course.
"That won't work?" Qin Chuchu stood up anxiously.
She suddenly felt like smoking in her throat. If these people left and never came back, who would dig her troglodyte courtyard?
If she couldn't dig a pit courtyard, she wouldn't be able to live in her luxurious underground courtyard.
Seeing that the princess really listened to him, Feng Liu added fuel to the fire.
"Look at what the princess said. Those people are not our servants. Why can't they go home?"
After saying that, he looked at Feng Qi again, and Feng Qi also cooperated and agreed.
"That's right. No matter how good the food is, it's useless if there's no money to earn. Especially for those families with elderly and children to support, they rely on money to survive!"
“…………”Han Muchen curled the corners of his mouth.
The two guys finally got into the mood, and seeing that the woman really listened to them, they guessed that the deal would be done.
Qin Chuchu really heard it and sat beside the chaise longue without saying a word.
I was thinking about what they had just said, and what they said did make sense.
Those refugees were all young and strong men. Even if they had no relatives at home, who wouldn't want to earn some money?
I thought that providing them with food and shelter would be no problem, but I actually neglected this matter.
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Feng Liu and Feng Qi seriously.
"So, how much money should I give them every month?"
“…………” Feng Liu and Feng Qi were delighted.
It’s done!
