Chapter 070 Dedication

Mao Sheng was a little worried, "Grandpa, will the county master really meet us?" Will there really be a disaster? ”

Maosheng is the son of the village chief and Xuewen is about the same age, he has never seen natural disasters, and there are still many doubts, but Old Man Li has a little prestige in the village, and he is fair and fair in the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"We will see it after the beginning of spring, and it is certain that there will be less rain, and it would be nice if there was some snow this year." Old man Li sighed, deeply worried, the crops all rely on the sky for food.

The three of them came to the county office, and Mao Sheng accosted the official at the door, "Big brother, we are from Lijia Village, and we have something to do with Brother Huzi, please be accommodating." As he spoke, he handed over a few copper plates.

"Oh, Brother Huzi's people, you wait for me to call you." When the official heard that it was Brother Huzi's person, a smile appeared on his face, and he responded happily.

"Thank you, big brother." Mao Sheng thanked him again and again.

"Grandparents, Brother Huzi will come out in a while, you wait a while, is it cold? This has a mattress, why don't you cover it? "Mao Sheng got the order of the village elder's father, he must take care of the second elder, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise he will go back and break his legs.

"It's okay, I'm tired of you, and I want you to run on a cold day."

The old lady smiled gently and lovingly and spoke to Maosheng.

"Grandma, you're polite, you're also for all of us, I should do my part." Mao Sheng waved his hand indifferently.

Chuanhu soon trotted out all the way, and when he saw the second elder, he was also shocked, and sped up his pace and ran to him, "Grandpa, what's wrong with the family?" "I also chuckled in my heart, could it be that something happened to Lanzi?

"There is nothing wrong at home, but I have something I want to tell you, can you talk to the county master?" Old man Li pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, if I talk to an adult about business, I will definitely see me, do you have something?" Chuanhu immediately understood, and his face became much more serious.

"I see that the weather is a little wrong, there has been no snow in two years, the water level of the river has dropped a lot, I am afraid that there will be a drought in the past two years, even if there is no drought in the spring of next year, the rain will definitely be less, I pondered that this matter is still very important, I thought if you can tell the adults, if the grain production is really reduced, it will not be good for the adults?"

Chuanhu paused for a moment, and then pondered for a while, "You come with me, Mao Sheng you go and do your business, we will meet in my father's store in a while, you are waiting for us there." ”

"Hey, okay." Mao Sheng saw that he couldn't help, so he went to buy some seeds, and before he came, his father said, grandpa asked him to buy more seeds, and he had to buy some more to go back to prepare.

Chuanhu didn't even hesitate to help the two elders into the yamen, first arranged for them to work in a warm room, instructed the brothers below to pour hot tea to warm up, and quickly went to tell the adults themselves.

Knowing that Chuanhu wanted to see him, the county magistrate quickly summoned him and asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Yes, my lord, my fiancΓ©e's grandfather came over, he has an important thing to say, grandpa said that it hasn't snowed for two years, the water level of the river has dropped very much, and said that even if there is no drought in the spring of the next year, the rain will be reduced, I am afraid that it will affect the production of food, I think this news is very important, and I came by car from Lijia Village to tell me, and my subordinates felt that this was a big thing and did not dare to specialize, so I came to tell me."

"Oh, how accurate do you think the old man's words are?" Although the county magistrate didn't believe it, he didn't make any arbitrary decisions, and still asked Chuanhu.

"The old man is very prestigious in the village, he is a person who has experienced major disasters, he has always been very accurate in weather predictions, he has his own set of experience to judge, basically eighty percent accurate, even the village chief respects this old man very much." Chuanhu is not exaggerated, and the words are still very true.

The county magistrate was a little serious now, touched his chin and thought for a while, "You go and call someone in and I'll ask, whether it's true or not, I should see it." ”

Thanks to his good upbringing, the county magistrate rarely puts on a stinky shelf in Qingshan County, and attaches great importance to the affairs of the common people.

"Cheng, I'm going to invite someone in, can you ask carefully?" Chuanhu nodded, and hurriedly went to ask for someone.

Soon, the two of them were led into the small hall of the county magistrate's ceremonies, and the county magistrate usually works here.

"Greetings to your lordship." As soon as the second elder entered the door, he first saluted the county magistrate, with etiquette rules, calm and calm eyes, and a respectful and polite attitude.

With this calm bearing, the county magistrate has a good impression, "No courtesy, no courtesy, the old man please sit down, pass the tiger to pour tea." ”

"Thank you, my lord, I disturbed my lord's office, our husband and wife really didn't want to go, if it wasn't for the big stake, I wouldn't dare to disturb the adult."

"The old man is polite, you can tell me if you have something." The county magistrate did not mean to be lazy, this stemmed from his good upbringing, and he would not embarrass people in person.

Old man Li is not afraid, when it comes to what he is good at, he is methodical and reasonable, and he talks eloquently, and after saying this, the county master also has a solemn face.

After a long silence, he asked, "How sure are you?" ”

"At least 50%, if there is no snow and rain in three years, there will be less rain, and then there will definitely be disasters within five years." Old man Li made a decisive statement, and there was a look of determination in his eyes.

"Then according to the old man's meaning, what should we prepare?" The county magistrate has never encountered natural disasters and man-made disasters, so he thinks it is better to ask more, and he also has a number in his heart.

"In this way, the grass people will tell me what I think as an old farmer, and you can listen to it casually. I thought that we should prepare more grain every year, store more grain, and that the granary must be strong and be overhauled every year, and that the grain depot of our farmers must be carefully inspected every year. The other is herbal medicine, but there must be epidemics in all disasters, and there was a big flood that year, and nearly half of the people died in the four miles and eight towns. If there is a lack of rain, the price of grain will definitely rise, and I remember that the price of grain was sold faster than the price of gold in that year, and there were many people who did not get sick but were starved to death.

There are a lot of medicinal materials in this Daqingshan, you can harvest a batch in spring every year, even if there is no disaster, you can also dispose of it, the medicinal materials are very expensive things, so as not to make you embarrassed. It doesn't matter if you save too much grain, you can also take it out and sell it, which can indirectly deter those grain merchants from raising prices, and the grain must be saved, you can go to the village regularly every year to let everyone buy your grain seeds, which is slightly cheaper than the grain merchants, and the people will definitely be grateful to you. That's the most important thing that comes to mind at the moment. ”
