Chapter 65: Drought

Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIn September, the temperature finally reached its highest point, 42 degrees!

This temperature is not to mention going out to work, even if you stay in the house, people will be depressed and suffer from heat stroke, the herbal tea for summer heat in the pharmacy is in short supply, and the ice used to cool down has already been snatched up.

Jiafu is not short of ice, the ice in the ice cellar is full of ice cubes, the ice cubes exchanged for the system are very effective, a small piece can make the cellar drip into ice, become a natural ice cellar! If it weren't for the fact that this thing was too powerful for ordinary people to bear, Chen Chen really didn't mind using it as an air conditioner!

It has been two months since the rain fell, and the scorching sun seems to have dried up the water in people's bodies.

The crops in the field are no longer saved, and only the green seedlings that have grown on the newly planted land have been turned into a handful of dead grass by the scorching sun, and they lie on the ground pitifully, carrying the sigh of disappointment of the farmers!

In the study, Chen Chen is concentrating on practicing "Spring Mist Decision", although this exercise is very chicken, but it is better than nothing, something is better than nothing!

"Master, the big butler is back!" Chen Chen ordered Qingshu to go to Zhen's Mansion to deliver ice early in the morning, and I am afraid that he will come back with a letter at this time!

"Let him in!" Chen Chen, who was originally meditating cross-legged, moved his muscles and bones, got up and did it to the chair!

"Master!" Qingshu's face was a little pale, his lips were cracked a few cracks, and his voice was hoarse, "Uncle Zhen asked me to tell you, there is a drought in most places in Liuxian, Yuanqu County, and Yunzhou, and some of the victims are coming to Jinling, and the city will be chaotic in a few days!"

"It's okay! The government has already made preparations, the grain in Jinling City is quite rich, and it is not a problem to settle these people!" Chen Chen said calmly, "There are still a lot of vacant places in Taoyuan Village, you can take people to build two porridge shops ten miles away from the city gate, and if there is a suitable one, you can buy it! There is a forest over there that can just provide shade, so these people will definitely not be able to enter the city, and it can also be a temporary resettlement place!"

"Yes, master!" Qingshu replied in a low voice, "How are these newcomers arranged!

"Divide it into three parts, one-third of the people will do the work in the village, and let them arrange it by themselves! The rest of the majority will be arranged to open up the land on both sides of the village, and the land will be as much as it can be opened!" Chen Chen explained simply, "Anyway, the land will be very cheap, and I will go to the government office and buy it another day!"

"Your face is not very good, let the kitchen boil you a bowl of gunpowder juice, and go to rest after drinking!" Chen Chen looked at Qingshu's crumbling body and took the initiative to say, after sending the other party away, he sighed heavily, and prayed secretly in his heart, this day must not go down in the heat, heat plague, heat plague, if there is any infectious disease in this era, it must be a matter of nine deaths, so many disaster victims gathered together, how is it an ominous premonition, although what he did was just a drop in the bucket, but he can save one is one, just hope that he can feel at ease!

Within a few days, the refugees outside the city gradually increased, and the guards guarding the city really stopped them from entering the city, a large number of refugees stayed at the city gate, and finally were arranged in the woods of Jiafu soup kitchen, in addition to Jiafu, there are also other large families who generously donated money and also put a few porridge sheds here, and the doctor who patrolled the clinic is also here for free treatment, there are officers and soldiers patrolling here day and night, or well-wishers come here to donate some idle clothes and bedding, for a time here is lively!

"Name" Jia Lian asked solemnly with a pen in his hand!

"Niu Da Zhuang!" replied crampedly, looking at the little boy in front of him writing his name on the deed paper one by one, he felt that his name was really beautiful to write like this!

"Age?" Jia Lian raised his head, looked at the other party politely, and asked with a smile!

"I'm twenty years old this year!" Niu Dazhuang rubbed his hands and said flatteringly, "I have a lot of strength, and I can hunt, and I used to hunt tigers in the mountains of the village! The county magistrate even rewarded me with a hundred taels of silver! The whole people in Liyang County know it! If Master Jia buys me, I will definitely work hard and never be lazy! I just have to buy my mother together, my mother can also be very good, I can do everything well, and everyone in the village praises my mother for being good!"

"Your mother has already registered over there, you don't have to worry, if the conditions are met, the people from the yamen will come in a while, you can sign the deed directly, and you can stay in Taoyuan Village today!" Jia Lian explained word by word, "There are ready-made houses for you to live in the village, the inside has been cleaned, the bedding, bowls and chopsticks are all ready, you can go over, there is a unified clothing shop in the village, each person has four sets of clothes a year, if you want to make your own and go to the shop to get the fabric, you can also do it!" After signing the deed of sale, you have a subsidy of 100 yuan per month, and there are corresponding indicators for food, utensils, and daily necessities, and there are detailed figures in the village, and you have to arrange your work by yourself, and after completing your own work tasks, you can choose to do other work to earn some pocket money, and there will be someone who will tell you at that time, but you have to remember the rules of the village, if you are a scoundrel who is a thief, you will be sold as an official slave immediately, Taoyuan Village will never tolerate such a person!"

"Return, pay back the money?" Niu Dazhuang asked uneasily, he and his wife sold themselves for ten taels of silver, and there was a lot of tax left after paying 200 Wen, Jiafu is a big house to live in, not to mention food and clothes, and there is still silver money to get every month, this, this is also too good!

"Hehe, you idiot, it's not good to give you money, the Jia family is very rich, what is your little drizzle?" The maid of the Ye family on the side sneered and scolded, "What are you hesitating about, if you don't hurry up and agree to this kind of good thing of red rain in the sky, there will be no such land in this village!"

"Alas!" Niu Dazhuang's face turned red, so he pressed his handprint on the deed of sale, and then shrank his hands and feet and stayed there!

"You just wait over there, there will be an ox cart to pick you up in a while, don't go far!" Jia Lian said lightly, completely ignoring the Miss Ye family on the side!

This woman didn't know what was going on, she actually fell in love with Chen Chen at first sight, and after being avoided like a snake and scorpion by Chen Chen, she began to brush her sense of existence in front of Jia Lian, knowing that Jia Lian would come to the porridge shop every day to help, she also came to the porridge shop every day to give porridge, but she wanted Jia Lian to see her virtuous and virtuous virtues!

Jia Lian doesn't have a good face at all for this woman who wants to be her stepmother, where can she peep into the position of the housemother!
