"Then...then can't we teach them a skill?"
After listening to Zhou Yu's analysis, Li Lizhi, who had originally planned to give money to those little beggars to help them change their current situation, was so scared that cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
But even so, she still felt a little unwilling in her kind heart.
Since giving out alms has so many potential problems, teaching little beggars a skill should be able to help them change their current situation, right?
After all, she also knows that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
After listening to her question, Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly.
"If these beggars have someone to look after them and have some skills, they may be able to change their current situation very quickly.
But if we just teach them a skill, who would be willing to employ them unless they are willing to be exploited?"
In modern society, even cattle and horses will be looked down upon when looking for work, let alone some little beggars without any identity.
Although Zhou Yu did not say it explicitly, this is indeed the case.
If a homeless person wants to completely get rid of this identity, he not only needs ability, but also luck and noble people.
Seeing Zhou Yu shaking his head, Cheng Yang, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but speak up: "If we teach them some skills that the Tang Dynasty doesn't have, I think it should be able to help them, right?"
Having lived in modern society for so long, Chengyang also knows the gap.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the folk crafts on Douyin, any one of them can cause a sensation.
But Zhou Yu, who heard his proposal, shook his head seriously.
If it is an ordinary skill, as long as they are willing to accept exploitation, they may be able to ensure food and clothing.
But once modern technology is used, it may lead to fatal disasters.
When he was in school, Zhou Yu also read a lot of historical time-travel novels.
The protagonists of many novels, as soon as they travel through time and space to become ancient farmers, put their hands on their hips and vow to get rich quickly.
The ways they made their fortunes were nothing more than refining salt, distilling liquor, making perfume, firing glass, etc.
This kind of plot is really cool at first glance.
If you deposit your brain first and use it to kill time, there is really nothing to say.
But if you use your brain and look at such a plot, you will find that it is actually not reasonable at all.
Even in a modern society with sound laws, there is no guarantee that the business environment will be free of problems, let alone in an ancient society with distinct classes.
Let’s put aside the methods of long-distance sheep fishing and cross-race fishing.
He is just a supervisor, but he dares to make such bold statements, saying that he has no ability to support the economy and it would be too easy to bring it down.
If this happened in ancient times, would the sky above your head be black or blue?
Maybe you have just achieved some results, but a village head over there can kill everything in the cradle.
So the normal plot should be like this.
A modern man travels back to ancient times and wants to make money by refining refined salt.
Then because of the salt and iron monopoly, nothing happened before it even started.
As a time traveler with modern ideas, it is naturally impossible for me to give in.
So, they prepared to distill high-proof liquor.
For a farmer's son, distilling liquor is a bit of a luxury, but it is not impossible to succeed.
But after tinkering with it, you must find a way to make a profit.
As a proud modern person, it is definitely impossible for me to sell the recipe.
But a farmer's son has no capital.
what to do?
Looking for restaurant cooperation?
Or find a winery to cooperate with?
The idea is good, but unfortunately the premise of cooperation is equality.
As soon as the liquor was taken out, the roots over there were clearly discovered.
Seeing that he is just a farmer's boy, what are you waiting for? Just rob him.
What?
Do you want to complain?
Can.
But first you have to make sure you survive.
Even if you have the opportunity to make things bigger, do you really think you can get fairness?
Stop it.
At this time, your recipe will be given away as a favor.
The people above got the recipe, and if they were able to keep it secret, they would keep it for themselves; if they were not able to keep it secret, they would continue to do favors.
Until this formula falls into the hands of someone who is capable of protecting and keeping the lid on it, things will be settled.
Don't think this is alarmist.
In fact, this result is the real reality.
If you really dare to continue making trouble, others will directly accuse you of being possessed by a demon.
You are just an ordinary farmer's boy. How could you possibly come up with these things unless you are possessed by a demon?
If someone instigates it, he will probably be stoned to death by the ignorant people.
And the more you think you have modern thinking, the faster you die.
In fact, the principle is still the same: a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.
Not only in ancient society, but even in modern society, it is not an easy thing to cross class boundaries.
Just as Zhou Yu was explaining this to the little princesses, the sergeant from the Flying Cavalry Battalion who had been delivering instant noodles to the beggars suddenly approached with an awkward expression and reported, "Young Master Zhou, the leader wants to see you."
"To see me?"
Zhou Yu turned around in confusion and saw an older girl standing on the shore looking at him.
He first looked the other person up and down, and then continued: "If it's for gratitude, forget it!"
He didn't want to have too much contact with the other party.
Safety issues are secondary. The most important thing is that he is afraid of losing control of himself.
In the past, when he met stray cats, he always liked to take out a cardboard box and tell the cat, as long as you can get in, I will adopt you.
But who knew that, in fact, as early as the moment he took out the paper box, it was already destined that no matter whether the cat got in by itself or not, as long as it did not hide away, he would definitely take it back.
But this is the Tang Dynasty, and he, a modern man, does not belong here.
Even if we can save these children temporarily, we cannot save them forever.
It is precisely because of this that he neither wants to give those children hope nor does he want to make himself feel awkward.
But just as he said the words of refusal, Li Lizhi beside him said: "Young Master, since she is willing, let her come over. I also want to know why they became beggars."
"Yes, yes, little one, there's a big fish in here! I can give them some~"
The little kid followed suit, and at the same time did not forget to pull Chengyang next to him.
Seeing this, Cheng Yang didn't say anything, but her eyes showed her attitude.
Seeing the little princesses say this, Zhou Yu smiled helplessly and turned to the cavalry soldier and said, "If it's safe, bring her here!"
In fact, not only the little princesses, but even he was somewhat curious about the girl.
Normally, if she was hungry, she should have eaten the instant noodles before thanking him.
Now, not only the girl, but also the other little beggars were just swallowing their saliva but not eating.
