Although there were not a few heavy snowfalls this winter, it was a warm winter, but the morning snow was not peaceful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBecause of the deliberate difficulty of the eldest lady, in addition to the regular dishes that were cut on time in the backyard, I never received a tael of silver. However, because the old man will come to the backyard from time to time, the small kitchen in the front yard will often send some delicious food into the backyard. And with this cheap father here, the eldest lady will not poison the people in the backyard.

After the winter, I thought that after the beginning of spring, everything would recover and food prices would stabilize, but this first spring rain has not fallen for a long time. The Grange is very close to the river, and it is irrigated by a waterwheel, but it has not been affected. However, the peasants who are far away from the canal rely on the weather for food, and without the moisture of the spring rains, even if the fields are turned over, they cannot be planted.

After the sting, God still shows a big smile every day, and not a drop of rain has fallen. There is really no way for the peasants, on the day of the spring equinox spring festival, with all kinds of sacrifices, gathered at the dragon temple to beg the dragon god, hoping to rain as soon as possible, otherwise if you miss the Qingming Festival, if there is no rain, it will inevitably affect the harvest of the year. Last year, Jixian County suffered a natural disaster, and if there is a drought again this year, I am afraid that I will not be able to live for a day.

Although the shogunate also has a lot of granges, but when you go to the Dragon Temple to worship this kind of thing, the eldest lord just sent Liu to manage it, but he didn't go in person. Maybe there are more people begging for rain, maybe God has a kind heart, and the first spring rain finally fell on Qingming Day.

Mu Qian's tense face has been somewhat relieved, and even the eldest lady no longer frowns every day, and she is looking for trouble with everyone in the mansion if she has nothing to do. But the morning snow was not relieved by this spring rain. At the beginning of the year, she raised seedlings and soaked seeds, pumped water to water the ground, so at this time in Qingming, the seedlings in the field have grown a lot, but this rain came too late, so Mu Chenxue was still worried that there would be a drought this year, and ordered Tong Jiang to dig a cellar and store water early, at least to ensure this year's harvest.

The farmers finally planted the seeds at Qingming time, but it was not until the day of the valley rain that God had a second rain, but the rain was not heavy, and even the dozen cellar bottoms of the grange did not accumulate rain before it stopped. In order to ensure that there is enough water source, Tong Jiang led people to pump water from the river to the reservoir. Fortunately, it was spring, and the river was covered with melted snow, and although it was not as wide as in previous years, and the amount of water was insufficient, at least it did not dry up.

There is no water in the field, the seedlings are sparse, and there is no anger at all. It's like an early warning to remind people to prepare early. Therefore, after entering the beginning of summer, the price of grain in the city is rising day by day. Mu Chenxue gave Tong Jiang all the 1,000 taels of silver he had earned before, and asked him to go to other counties to buy grain. Before, through natural disasters, Mu Chenxue made a small profit, but this time she thought about turning this thousand taels into ten thousand taels. Although she has a little her conscience, she also has difficulties, the shogunate is like this now, it is impossible to give the ninth brother and his mother a stable life, maybe one day the ninth brother will be divided, and then their family will have to rely on the silver to buy land and start a house to live.

Even if the shogunate doesn't separate their family, even if the ninth brother is famous, the eldest lady will definitely not use the money to pave the way for the ninth brother. So for the sake of her younger brother and mother, Mu Chenxue had to find a way to earn more money.

And she doesn't dare to guarantee that she will always stay in this world, in case she is careful and wears it elsewhere one day, she will always leave something for her mother and ninth brother, so that they can spend their days safely.

After Tong Jiang left, Mu Chenxue handed over the grange and shop to Baoru to help take care of it, and she wanted to go to the boudoir herself, and only when she was waiting for Mu Xiu could she find an opportunity to sneak out. But she didn't dare to stay too long, and these days, the eldest lady stared at the backyard every day.

Tong Jiang has been gone for two months, and he will not come back until the summer solstice has passed. According to the original estimate of Mu Chenxue, it should be several counties around Guangyang County that were affected. But Tong Jiang inquired that the drought had affected the entire 12 counties of Youzhou, so he went to Jizhou Mansion this time, and then he bought cheap grain.

A few rooms in the grange were vacated and used as a grain storehouse, and all the grain was stored, and the income from her own fields, if the yield was not reduced, was enough for the family to eat.

Nangong Shumo and Nangong Xun have not been to the shogunate since they entered the summer. Seeing that the natural disaster was coming, the county was full of people, so Mu Chenxue thought that they must have a lot of things to deal with, but they didn't want to be the whole Youzhou disaster, no wonder the two of them were busy and disappeared.

The day after Tong Jiang returned, Baoru and Liuyun respectively sent a letter to Mu Chenxue according to the instructions of their master. Lord Qing has been busy dealing with natural disasters and pacifying the victims these days, and even the concubine, who has always been weak, has been pulled to his side to follow along. Therefore, Nangong Shumo couldn't take a break to watch the morning snow.

and told her that there was a big drought this year, and asked her to make arrangements as soon as possible. If necessary, please don't be polite. In fact, although these two people did not come to the shogunate, they have been watching the morning snow. Knowing that although there was a big drought this year, Mu Chenxue's Zhuangzi was not damaged, not only that, but Mu Chenxue also used 50 acres of medicine fields to grow food this year, so the two people who inquired about the news knew that Mu Chenxue had arranged it early in the morning, so they didn't rush to send the news to her.

After getting the exact news of the palace, Mu Chenxue did not dare to slack off, and instructed Tong Jiang to put away the dim sum shop first, and the victims entered the city, if they could not be properly settled, the first to be affected would be the grain shop, and her dim sum shop happened to be open on the edge of the grain shop.

Although the inn is not closed for the time being, it has also sent more people. After entering the beginning of autumn, because of the increasing chaos in the city, the boudoir school and the county school have been suspended in advance. The big families in the city are looting and hoarding grain, and the price of japonica rice has increased nearly 20 times. At this price, the grain store was bought out early in the morning. And the price of white noodles has also risen many times, becoming a sky-high price.

The fields of the morning snow have been harvested as early as around the summer heat, last year she will carry out crop rotation, and after the summer heat will also plant some buds and other coarse grains, but this year's drought, more than a dozen water cellars have long been empty, and God has no intention of raining, so in addition to plowing the land to fertilize and protect the land, there is no more planting anything.

After the autumn harvest, the whole county was in chaos, although the Qingwang Mansion sent additional private soldiers of the palace at the city gate, and even strictly ordered people who were not from the county to enter. However, a large number of victims still poured into the county.

The shops in the markets had to close their doors early, for fear of being robbed by the rioters, but where were the victims who had no food to take care of. First of all, in Xifang District, victims break into people's houses every day to loot food. But after all, Xifang is inhabited by poor people, and after the price of food soared, these families also became victims who could not afford to buy food.

Therefore, the hungry victims, who would care if they would be caught and killed, began to think about the shops and Dongfang. Except for a few streets and alleys around Qingwangfu, all places were surrounded by the victims. (To be continued.) )
