Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 474 Su He Sees the World Clearly

These people can use their spare time to teach children in exchange for food and lodging. At the very least, they can live there by paying some money. Three or five people share a room, but it is very convenient for studying and staying there.

There are people who cook and boil water, and there are also people who clean. The older children have different days to do it. Everyone has their own things to do, and all the orphans have to work. For example, knitting, cutting bookmarks, crocheting socks and school bags, weaving cloth, etc., so that these children can earn money to support themselves.

These scholars from poor families were introduced to copy books to make money, because the Kyoto Library accepted all kinds of books anyway. If there were any extra books, they could sell them in the library to make money, as the books in the capital were still quite expensive.

In general, they will not stay in their own home. The Su family is not big, and taking anyone in will offend others, so it is better to let them fend for themselves from the beginning.

Su He had already made plans. One yard was not enough, so he bought another one. It didn't matter if the place was a little remote, as long as it was big enough and he spent his own money to renovate it, it would be a good place. Studying and learning skills can be done anywhere, and having a house is enough for many people who are willing to learn.

The Moxiang Pavilion is now a money box that makes a lot of money every day. The capital is a cultural center with many literati and scholars, and the consumption of pens, ink, paper and inkstone is huge.

This is also the reason why Su He opened Moxiang Pavilion. Only when the audience is large can there be huge profits. To do business, there must be demand in order to make money.

What Su He can't stand the most is those who hold power and create demand out of nothing. For example, some officials look at what the people need and come up with ways to collect money, turning it into a fee. The people can't help but use, eat, or do it, and they say it's for the good of the country, the good of the people, and the good of the earth, but the people have to spend money, and they make a lot of money.

But ordinary people have to spend money on things that they didn’t have to spend a penny on before, and sometimes they have to spend most of their income. Some things that were born naturally have to be said to belong to the country, and ordinary people would be breaking the law if they use them.

However, the money that ordinary people spend goes into the pockets of the rich and powerful, allowing them to enjoy more luxury. Su He despises the money you earn for your own good.

But this is also the best way for some officials to make money from ancient times to the present. It is not smart and very despicable, but it is the most effective. In the name of the country, power is their greatest weapon at this time. If you disobey, you can be fined and put in jail, leaving you with nowhere to turn. The honest ones go back to work like cows and horses, toiling for the rest of their lives. The dishonest ones may also become a pile of dry bones in the end. The dead are the safest.

So some people's wealth is accumulated by the blood and flesh of the poor, and their sudden wealth is exploitation without bottom line. The saying that capital accumulation is bloody is never nonsense, but a small number of them are their own blood, and most of them are the blood of others.

As a human being, sometimes his shamelessness makes him rise to the top and act lawless. Sometimes his cowardice makes him sink to the dust and live towards death.

There are evil people like this in every era, so many people burn incense and worship Buddha, praying to God. Not only praying for blessings and peace, but also praying for God to punish evil and promote good. Praying for the so-called karma, so that those evil people will be punished.

Su He's two lives have shown the world clearly. If the current emperor is incompetent, the best way is to replace him. Otherwise, look at the Song Dynasty in ancient China, the emperor could become a slave. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty finally became a commoner, so it is not worth blindly following the person in power. If this person is a fool, don't obey him.

If you see those who sell out their country for personal gain, don't sacrifice your life and property. You can help those who are capable, and you can also become bigger and stronger. If there are people who are unable to protect themselves, then kill the enemy to avenge the shame!
