At the same time, Kuai Yong and the others did not relax their eyes on their shopkeepers because those grain stores did not open, but paid closer attention to the other party's next move. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, because they found that the other grain shops were only the head of Wan's grain shop, they later gave up the order of the other four, but the five of them took turns staring at the shopkeeper of Wan's grain store.

It is also because of this that when very small batches of grain were constantly transported to Wan's grain store in batches by some unfamiliar faces, they found out as soon as possible.

If they were doing business normally, the larger the batch of grain they transported, the more they could save costs, but they chose to send two people to transport two or three bags at a time, and used forage or firewood to cover it up. In particular, Feng'an Grain Store has already become a hostile relationship with these five major grain stores, and is extremely vigilant against any abnormal actions of them.

Those grain shops actually regretted the previous act of rushing to sell the old grain to the Feng'an grain store at a reduced price, otherwise, they would still be in the situation of raising the grain price to 26 Wen or buying grain in a crowd, and they only need to count the silver every day, where can they use all kinds of nerve-wracking things like now.

Seeing that they didn't make any big moves, just continued to transport grain, Song Chen only let Kuai Yong and them stay in the city to keep an eye on them, while he and Su Miao returned to Zhuangzi.

Because a large part of the grain on the ground has already been transported out, and the remaining small part has to be kept as cover, and it cannot be emptied and then conjured out of thin air. Moreover, the door of the basement can only be opened by Song Chen and Su Miao, if the granaries above are empty, in case the two of them are out of the house, if they are in urgent need, I am afraid that there will be no food to transport. So Song Chen and Su Miaode returned to Zhuangzi to sit down, because the basement could only be opened by them.

In December, the fruits and vegetables planted in the field began to be harvested.

It's starting to get cold.

After half a month of practice, soup kitchens ended, and grain sales resumed. Moreover, after the guys in the store exposed the first person from Wan's grain shop who had mixed into the queue to buy grain, the people in line spontaneously pulled out eight or nine more one after another. The disgruntled crowd was indignant, these grain shops were really unconscionable, not only did they raise the price of food in an attempt to make them have no way out, but now they are coming here to make trouble! So, I don't know who made the first move, anyway, later, everyone came around and beat people up. After finishing together, I found that the previous queue was messed up, but everyone was not in a hurry, after experiencing a beating together, they seemed to suddenly have a kind of "comrade-in-arms" friendship, and humbly lined up with each other again.

After the harvest began in the fields of Baiyun Villa, a lot of vegetables and fruits were brought over when transporting grain. Some are freshly picked every day, some are dried in the sun, and some are made into kimchi. When every family comes to buy food, they can choose one of them as a partner.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, seeing that the New Year is coming, if it is at this time in previous years, not only the people in the city began to buy New Year's goods, but also many people in the nearby counties and towns brought their families into the city to catch up with the market, and sold some special food and the like made in their hands, and then purchased the supplies needed for the New Year, and also bought some food for the children to play by the way, which was very lively and joyful. But today's atmosphere is deserted, the year still has to pass, after all, it is the most important festival of the year for Dalan people, but everyone can save the province, and the scene of bringing a family into the city from other places is almost invisible.

In such a sluggish atmosphere, Song Chen and Su Miao took a large cart of prey that Xiaobai had just shot down from the mountains yesterday into the city.

After the things were delivered to the house, Su Miao and Song Chenbing split into two ways, Su Miao went to Hengqing Hall to discuss the arrangements for the two days with Lin Jiu, and Song Chen went to the mansion.

The prefect Lu Yan was extremely polite and appreciative of Song Chen. Not only because of the latter's identity, but because of what the other party has done in the past few months, he admires it. Although the owner of Feng'an Grain Store is not Song Chen, he is also in charge, and he can stand up at a critical time and come up with such a series of methods to facilitate the people and benefit the people, no wonder the emperor values him so much. They are also relatives of the emperor and the country, some people are greedy for power and bully others, and some people are indifferent to fame and fortune and love the people like children. It is also a rich country, some people are insatiable and take advantage of the fire to rob, while some people cherish their family and country and spend money like dirt.

This money is like dirt, not the kind of money spent indiscriminately like a loser, but every money is used on the people.

Such a person, even if he does not have the emperor's holy decree, he will willingly cooperate with him and seek benefits for the people.

Lu Yan knew that Song Chen was the kind of person who would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and when he came over, there must be something important. Sure enough, the first thing Song Chen said when he saw him was: "You can open a warehouse and release grain!" ”

Lu Yan didn't react at first, and the first thought that came to mind after hearing Song Chen's words was: The inventory of Feng'an Grain Store is sold out? However, seeing that the expression on Song Chen's face was as indifferent as ever, without the slightest anxious look, he knew that he could think too much. He froze: "Good! I immediately asked the master to write a notice and post it in the city, and sent people to each county to notify the yamen over there, so that they could notify the people below, so that the notice would go on layer by layer, and the time reserved for ten days should be enough. We are scheduled to open the warehouse on the twenty-fifth day to release grain, what do you think, little prince? He also reminisced, Song Chen chose to let him release grain at this time, just to make the people happy, even though the New Year was good.

"Good." Song Chen nodded and asked more, "How is the grain distributed?" ”

"The government will count the population of each county according to the yellow book, and distribute disaster relief food to the yamen of each county according to the capita. In the case of the county, it should also be calculated according to the yellow book, and the head of the village should go to the yamen to collect the grain, and then transport it back to the village to distribute it to the villagers. Lu Yan explained the step-by-step arrangement in great detail, "In order to prevent corruption in the county, I plan to send someone to supervise the whole process of their distribution." ”

"Good!" Song Chen asked this, and he was also a little worried that the people under him would not be easy to control, and the food would be distributed when he arrived, but it would not be in the hands of the people at all, and when he saw that Lu Yan had already thought of this step in advance, he was relieved, "Then I won't bother Lord Lu, arrange it as soon as possible!" ”

Song Chen came out of the mansion and estimated the time, Su Miao and Lin Jiu should have already discussed things in Hengqing Hall, so he went straight back to the house.

As soon as he entered Su Miao's courtyard, Xiaobai pounced on him. Song Chen dodged and found a gap into the courtyard - Su Miao was not there?

"Miaomiao?" Song Chen screamed, no one responded, presumably not in the house, could it be that he went to his yard?

Song Chen turned around and was just about to walk out, when he saw Su Miao walking in with a wooden basin containing two cleaned pheasants: "So fast? I thought you would't come back until the chicken was ready! ”

"Well, I'll leave when I'm done." Song Chen responded, took the wooden basin in Su Miao's hand and put it down, and went to get her firewood.

This time they brought a lot of prey, and there were four of them in the big wild game alone. There are also quite a few rabbits and pheasants. This is also related to what Su Miao went to Hengqing Hall to find Lin Jiu to say - they plan to start tomorrow and carry out another ten days of soup kitchen. This time, not only multigrain porridge, but also meat porridge. The prey of this cart is prepared for soup kitchen. When the four wild boars arrived, a grain store allocated one, and after the wild boars were cleaned up in the current weather, there was no problem at all for a few days. One day multigrain porridge with pickles, one day rabbit porridge, one day wild boar porridge, one day mountain chicken porridge, so take turns to cook. The meat porridge with some vegetables added to it is not only full and delicious, but it can be regarded as a formal meal. In this way, those people could save ten days' rations.

After Su Miao came out of Hengqing Hall, before returning to the house, he had already gone to the four grain stores, and asked the guys to spread the news, and let everyone bring the dishes and chopsticks to get the porridge tomorrow.

Although Feng'an Grain is porridge, it is different from the thin porridge that some large families usually use, it is much thicker, and there are miscellaneous grains in it, which is very full. This time there is also meat, originally because this year is a difficult person drinking hot porridge, gradually the subconscious sorrow on the face has been relieved a lot. Immediately after that, the government office issued another message, saying that there would be relief food to receive on the twenty-fifth day, and now everyone began to smile.

Although the news from the government said that this time the disaster relief food was not divided into batches, but all of them were distributed, so that they would not eat it all at once, but if something was distributed, it would make people happy. Moreover, the amount is not small, an adult has fifteen catties of rice, and ten catties of miscellaneous grains, if you save some food, your own diligent, grow some vegetables, and then pick some wild vegetables to add in, should be able to eat until February next year. Moreover, they still have a little silver in their hands, and they can buy some grain at that time, and eat less if they eat less, as long as they survive these few months, and wait until the grain is harvested after May next year, and the hard days will pass.

Thinking about it this way, everyone has hope, and finally has a little bit of an atmosphere that the New Year is coming. Although the preparation is not as rich as in previous years, it is still starting to be a little prepared.

In the twentieth year of the lunar year, Tang Tairu sent letters to Lin Jin, Song Henghuan and Song Chen, telling them to come to Tairu Villa for the New Year.

This year, Song Henghuan and Song Chen will definitely not go back to Shenanda City, of course, there is no opinion on the side of King Jing's Mansion, they have something to do here. After the floods in the south and the drought in the north, Song Hengyuan only let people control the drought in the north, and completely let Lin Jin and the six of them go in the south.

It doesn't matter where Lin Jin celebrates the New Year, as long as she is with Xiao Jingyu. Xiao Jingyu has no opinion, and this matter is settled. But their business is not finished yet, and they will not be able to move for a while.

Like Song Chen and Su Miao, after watching the soup soup soup in Lily of the Valley City for two or three days, they returned to Zhuangzi to prepare for leaving and going to Tairu Villa for the New Year. First of all, the grain in the basement had to be moved out and into the granary. Because they have passed this time, I am afraid that it will be a while before they come back, and they need to prepare the food for this time, and they need to prepare some more, so as not to delay them in the future, and there will be a shortage of food here and cause panic among the people.

Until the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Song Chen and Su Miao took Xiaobai and set off for Gladiolus City. This day was the first day of the government to open the warehouse to release grain, along the way they walked on the official road, and met a lot of ox carts, all of which were the chiefs of various villages with the strong men in the village preparing to go to the county seat to receive relief grain. Although everyone's face was solemn, their eyes were still full of hope.

Lin Jin and Song Henghuan also moved at the same time, but due to the geographical location, Song Chen and Su Miao arrived that day, and the other four arrived in the afternoon of the next day.

Xiao Huaixin has been more than seven months old, and his front teeth have come out, and he laughs like a rabbit, which is extremely cute. And he has begun to babble, when he plays with him, he keeps talking about it, but except for himself, no one around him can understand what he is saying, he is still very serious. When adults talk to him, he can understand some simple words, for example, when you say it, he will put his hand in front of you......

Xiao Jingyu likes children very much, and the little guy seems to remember this beautiful "mother-in-law" who delivered him from her own life. To be honest, when they heard Xiao Jingyu ask Xiao Huaixin to call her mother-in-law, everyone present felt very abrupt, after all, Xiao Jingyu had a face that looked about the same size as Mrs. Tang......

The New Year in Tairu Villa was really lively, and Tang Tairu smiled very happily, this is a real child full of arms - baby daughter and son-in-law, grandson and granddaughter-in-law, son and daughter-in-law, grandson, confidant and old friends are all there. The tradition of the Dalan people for the New Year is not to be neat and tidy!

has been staying in Tairu Villa on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Song Chen and the four of them went to the southwest city with Lin Jin and Xiao Jingyu, preparing to go to Xiaojiabao to celebrate the Lantern Festival.
