"During the famine, Shenyang sprinkled a handful of sand into the rice of the refugees. "Why?

This is not so much a principle of economics as an insight into human nature by Xiao Shenyang. It seems immoral to mix sand into the porridge to help the victims, but on second thought, I have to admire this wily man. It is recorded in the unofficial history that Xiao Shenyang was ordered to help the victims, but he ordered people to mix sand in the rice and ruined all the good porridge. Faced with the practice of small Shenyang, many people are puzzled. But after doing it in his way, he accomplished the task brilliantly. This story was later put on the screen, and it was a fragment from Ji Xiaolan with Iron Teeth and Copper Teeth.

At first glance, I can't help gnashing my teeth and even cursing little Shenyang. But when you think about it, adding sand to soup porridge looks immoral, but it's not a bad thing. Smart move. I have to admire this wily man.

In the year of catastrophe, the local government will help the victims and open porridge shops to supply the people to help them survive. However, whenever relief is provided, not all the victims who come to collect food are hungry and cold, but many people pretend to be victims. This makes the originally limited relief food very limited.

Little Shenyang mixed sand into rice and cooked it into porridge, which naturally affected the taste and even made it so bad that it had teeth and was disgusting. However, for those who linger on the edge of life and death, even gruel with mud and sand is a life-saving straw. However, in this way, those who have food at home or are not very hungry will no longer take advantage.

This seems inhuman, but it is very effective. Because, Xiao Shenyang fully understands the feelings of the hungry and the non-hungry. Although he made porridge unpalatable, even unpalatable, he was able to save limited food and save more victims.

Because, in the year of catastrophe, when people are hungry and cold, roots, weeds and even Guanyin soil will all be eaten in their stomachs. How can they care about the sand in porridge? What I really care about is not the victim, but mostly taking advantage! Thought of here, but also scold not to come out.
