It snowed heavily for two days in a row, and some families began to suffer from hunger and cold, and they couldn't go on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was supposed to be a joyful Laba, but the city was bleak, and the Guogong Mansion and the Yongwang Mansion and some other large families all made people give porridge and Laba porridge in the city, so that those poor people could get some holiday joy.

Jiang Rong also secretly asked people to help.

However, a day later, some people's houses began to be overwhelmed by the snow.

On such a cold day, without a sheltered house, how can people live?

The situation in the city suddenly became serious, and the heavy snow finally caused a snow disaster.

As early as when the old lady showed a worried look, Jiang Rong was preparing for the arrival of this day, and kept thinking about ways to help the people in this city survive the disaster.

Yongjia County is almost the northernmost county, so the climate is the coldest, and although other places have also suffered from snowstorms, the situation is definitely not as severe as here.

The imperial court received urgent reports from several counties in Yongzhou, and the prince was specially ordered to escort a large amount of grain to Yongzhou to relieve the urgency of Yongzhou.

The Yongwang Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion began to unite with other large families in the city to give porridge for disaster relief, and purchased a large number of food materials from the surrounding counties.

However, at such times, people are too busy to take care of themselves, where is there more food to sell?

Even if there is, the price is ridiculously high. On weekdays, a bucket of rice is only ten yuan, but now it is sold for a hundred yuan, or even higher, a tenfold increase!

Who can afford such expensive rice?

Moreover, long-term soup soup is not a solution, and it is easy to develop the idea that the victims of the disaster will get something for nothing, and become "lucky people", only waiting for the relief of the imperial court, without thinking about finding a way out.

In Yongjia County, if it weren't for the two big businessmen Li Changyuan and Jiang Rong pressing behind, prices might have risen to something.

There seem to be a lot of natural disasters this year, wave after wave, first the flood in Qingzhou, then the tsunami in Yizhou, and now the snow disaster in Yongzhou, I don't know where the disaster will be next.

Could it really be because the jade box was removed? So that the trapped dragon vein was freed, so the revenge came?

Otherwise, where are natural disasters so frequent?

But it's useless to think about this now, the key is to get past the disaster in front of you.

Jiang Rong went out and learned some things personally, coupled with the continuous thinking for a while, she already had some ideas about disaster relief.

After she came back, she gave all the methods she thought of to the end of the pen, wrote them down one by one, and then asked Yuefang to invite Li Changyuan over.

"What? That's when you remembered me? Li Changyuan found a seat and sat down by himself, and picked up the fresh fruit on the plate without politeness and bit it.

Only here is this little cousin who can eat fresh water spirit fruit all the time.

Jiang Rong handed him the disaster relief plan he had written.

"What's that?" He picked it up and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became.

"Buying snow, selling porridge, building a garden?" Li Changyuan couldn't help but read it out of his mouth, and he couldn't wait to read it slowly, so he said, "Ah Rong, what do you think about it, you can tell me directly." ”

Jiang Rong knew that he was impatient, so he didn't waste pen and ink writing in too much detail, but just listed the outline.

When he asked, she explained them to him one by one.

"The first one, buying snow, is literally."

Li Changyuan touched her forehead, "Ah Rong, you can't have a fever, right?" Now that there is a snow disaster, the whole Yongzhou is about to be buried by snow, do you still want to buy it? What do you buy it for? Where does anyone buy snow? ”

Jiang Rong said unhurriedly: "It is naturally useful to buy it, let me ask you, what is the most important point in the event of such a catastrophe?" ”

“…… Stabilizing people's hearts? Li Changyuan said a little uncertainly, he seemed to understand something.

"That's right, stabilize the people's hearts. The purpose of buying snow is to stabilize the people and prevent them from losing hope.

"What do you think people think of when they see the snow outside?"

"Cold, hunger, death, in short, are some bad things."

"Yes, what if someone buys snow from them? What about the snow that can be found everywhere on the ground and on the roof? What will they think? ”

"Then the snow will become silver for white flowers, and they can buy food, cotton clothes, firewood, and everything that can be used for them to get food and clothing."

Li Changyuan's eyes lit up, and at this moment he had fully understood what Jiang Rong meant.

"It's just a few questions, who pays for it? Will those ordinary people believe that someone buys snow? Where do you buy so much snow and pile it up? ”

Jiang Rong said: "The people who come forward, except for the Yongwang Mansion and our Zhenguo Mansion, who can provoke the big beam?" But the one who paid for it—"

She looked at Li Changyuan, "Who else is there besides you, the god of wealth?" ”

Li Changyuan was startled, "Hey, little girl, you're cheating on me!" I, why should I make such a big sacrifice! My money is not from the wind. Just talk about me, why don't you come out yourself? ”

"Tsk, cousin, I said that you look like a beautiful and graceful person, why can't you find a daughter-in-law, it turns out that you are too picky." Jiang Rong shook his head and sighed, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was unconcealed.

"Hmph, it's useless for you to provoke me! You just say you can't get any money, right? Don't think about letting me be the boss alone, and watch a good show there! ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't come out, why are you so excited?"

"Then you say, how much do you give?"

"Hey, look at your stingy appearance, it's five-five, it's done, right?"

"No, if you want me to lose so much silver, you have to compensate me a little, right?"

"Okay, what do you say you want?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I'm done."

"Okay, but I'll have to tell you in advance, I won't say yes to too much of a request."

"Okay, let's discuss, how should snow be priced?" Li Changyuan's expression became serious.

"Hmm, a penny a pound?" Jiang Rong was not sure.

Li Changyuan knocked her, "A penny and a pound?" You send money! Where is there such a cheap thing? Ten pounds for a penny! ”

"Okay, it's just ten catties a penny, anyway, the snow outside is piled up into a mountain, as long as you are willing to move, the money is not easy?"

"But what if those people grab it?"

"That's right, we have to think of a way." Li Changyuan pondered for a while and said, "I asked Ah Hong's kid to lead a team of people to maintain order, whoever dares to rob it will not buy his snow, and see if he can still make trouble?" ”

"Well, there has to be a special person to weigh it, give money to the people, and tell them in advance that it is not any kind of snow, it must be clean and not stained with a little dirt." Jiang Rong added little by little.

Li Changyuan took notes next to him.

He suddenly thought of asking, "You haven't told me what to do with the snow after you buy it?" Is it all piled up? ”

Jiang Rong said: "This is related to the establishment of the garden, I'll talk about it later." ”

"Let's talk about selling porridge first, I don't think we can let the people get something for nothing, always waiting for other people's alms."

"If you don't give alms, will you let them wait for death?"

Jiang Rong rolled his eyes, "What I just said was in vain?" Aren't you going to buy snow from them? Won't they be rich if they sell the snow? Then use this money to buy all kinds of things they need, such as hot porridge, grain, cotton clothes and quilts, charcoal, and so on.

"In this way, if the people have a head, they can reduce the possibility of trouble to a large extent, don't you say?"

"Hey, Ah Rong, I said how did you grow this melon in your head? How did you come up with such a solution? Li Changyuan touched her hair bun and looked surprised.

Jiang Rong slapped his hand away and said, "Okay, don't laugh, let's talk about Jianyuan now." ”

"Isn't there a very large mirror lake outside the city? The surrounding location is open and empty? ”

Li Changyuan nodded.

Jiang Rong took out a sketch with some sketches drawn on it.

"I wanted to build a garden centered on Mirror Lake, called 'Mirror Garden', which is used for people to watch and play, and there are scenes such as 'Dragon King's Crystal Palace', 'Snow White's Garden', 'Animal Family', 'Glass Ice Cave', 'Mirror Lake Ice Rink', 'Thousand Lanterns and Trees' and so on.

"These scenes are carved out of snow and ice and placed in an orderly manner in the garden. Build it before the Lantern Festival, and then wait until the day of the Lantern Festival, and open the garden to people in the whole city and even the surrounding counties, so that they can come to watch and enjoy.

"Of course, it's not open for free, and those who want to come in have to buy a ticket, one ticket...... How much silver do you think is appropriate? ”

Li Changyuan was already excited when he heard her idea, because he saw a huge business opportunity from this mirror garden!

Hearing this, he immediately said: "One hundred taels for one vote!" No two prices! ”

Jiang Rong said: "Isn't it a little expensive?" There aren't many people who can afford to buy a ticket for a hundred taels of silver, right? ”

Li Changyuan glanced at her with hatred, "You are stupid!" Don't look at our Yongzhou location, in fact, there are a lot of rich people, and what is less is just a place to spend money. Rest assured, it was on me, and during the construction of the garden, I made a big deal about it, making sure that those people would be willing to pay for the tickets. ”

After thinking about it, Jiang Rong said, "Why don't we divide the tickets into three classes?" the most expensive of the first class, one hundred taels; Fifty taels for the second class and ten taels for the third class, so as to ensure that people from different walks of life can come in to have a look and feel it. ”

Li Changyuan nodded in agreement, "Well, that's a good idea, just do it!" ”

"Now that the Lantern Festival is only a month away, if you want to build it before then, you need a lot of manpower, and you can hire those victims to work, and the wages will be sufficient, and the food will be better, so that many people can come."

"This will reduce some of the pressure on disaster relief."

Li Changyuan wrote down everything she said one by one and asked a question,

"Ah Rong, what are you talking about 'the Dragon King's Crystal Palace', 'Snow White's Garden', how do you get it?

"Since it's called 'The Dragon King's Crystal Palace', there must not be a dragon in it? How did you get this dragon out? And who is Snow White? And the ...... that follow" (To be continued.) )
