After a long rainy season that lasted for almost two months, the skies finally cleared.

The people had long been miserable, the seeds in the fields had completely rotted, the dead seeds were scattered in the stagnant water, and scattered with the current, and even the weeds had died.

The earth is full of hunger, complaints, and fame...... Well, it's actually not so strict, because the emperor is not a faint monarch today, and he has worked hard all these years, the country has prospered in his hands, and the harvest has been very good for decades.

Therefore, although the treasury is relatively empty, other people's pockets are quite full.

At this moment, when life and death are at stake and the family and country are shattered, the emperor finally took out his own Wang Ba...... Ahem, it is the power of the real dragon, ruthlessly, suppressing the corrupt officials inside and outside the entire DPRK, commonly known as the "anti/corruption action." ”

Although the water is clear, there is no fish, corrupt officials and corrupt officials can never be eliminated, but the current situation is critical, water can carry a boat or cook porridge, if the anger of the people is aroused and then a riot, if the luck is not good to meet some people who have long had bad intentions to move a little secretly, then this Dayu may change the dynasty by accident!

It's not fun at all, so the emperor deeply understands this in the end, which is why it is always easy to change the dynasty in times of natural disasters, because the people need hope, if you can't give it, people will have to do it themselves.

Under the emperor's iron-fisted ruthless policy, it didn't take long for the ministers of the DPRK and China to become poor, and almost everything that could be moved in the house except for the tables, chairs, benches, and bed boards was moved.

Coupled with the previous cooperation with Tianji Pavilion, there are several grains left, and together, they are barely enough to count.

Of course, the so-called sufficient does not mean that the disaster can be completely alleviated, but that it can barely support the fastest season of grain to grow into an edible appearance, such as corn, soybeans, etc., crops that have a short growth period and can be eaten in the juvenile period.

So these grains. Basically, they were all sent down as seeds, and other grains, that is, the rations for these months. Taken together, there isn't much.

Therefore, the emperor reluctantly sat back on the dragon chair and sighed, with deep tiredness and helplessness. waved his hand and asked all the ministers to go down to work on disaster relief, but he sat in the imperial study in a daze, rubbing his eyebrows and closing his eyes, not thinking about how the people were going to live in the past few months.

Not long after, a group of chamberlains waited behind the door with food and asked softly, "Your Majesty, lunch is ready, do you want to eat now?" ”

Xuanyuan paused and fell silent for a moment. Only then did he say tiredly: "Pass some light ones, and keep the rest to eat." If you continue to instruct it, the expenses of the palace will be reduced by half. ”

The waiter outside turned pale, as if he wanted to persuade something, snorted a few times, and finally silenced with a bitter face.

Quietly brought a few plates of porridge and side dishes to the table, and couldn't bear to overdo it, but Xuanyuan Wei picked up the bowl with an indifferent face. I took a sip of the soft and delicious white porridge in the bowl, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, took a bite of the side dish, chewed it carefully and swallowed it.

It's a taste of food.

But it was said that Qingshan Town. Xia Mei's restaurant was closed after all.

There is no way, no matter how great a person's ability is, he can't open a big restaurant with three shops, two floors, an attic, a backyard and a few rooms in such a difficult and difficult world, and continue to operate.

You're going to lose money!

Xia Mei would rather not make money than lose money!

So think before and after. Still reluctantly closed the restaurant temporarily, and posted a label on the door to suspend business.

Since it started to rain, the ice can't be sold, it can only play a role in keeping it fresh, and when it is placed in the cellar, the food will naturally have no source.

In addition, I have exchanged land with many people before, and the grain in Tianfu Restaurant is actually not much at all.

Now that the restaurant is closed, it is regarded as a little favor, and it can't be seen that Han Bo can't live a life, so he gave everyone a little food, and agreed to welcome everyone back on the day the restaurant opened.

Mu San is from the Medicine King Valley, a hidden organization, and he won't starve her if he wants to, so Xia Mei ruthlessly detained his share of the ration and gave it to Han Bo.

That's right, Mu San was forcibly sent back to the Medicine King Valley by Xia Mei, at this time and that time, at that time, you and I were a hotel, and I admitted it, but now I am too poor to eat, and the hotel naturally can't be opened, so Xia Mei sent people back without any pressure, trying to ignore Mu Yeqiu's condemning eyes and Mu San's face crying.

was very determined to send off the little white rabbit.

No matter how troubled the times are, staying here is not good for Mu San, after all, he is simple-hearted at the moment, and as soon as he walks out of Qingshan Town outside, there are hungry homeless people everywhere, and the suffering of the troubled times, this child is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.

Therefore, it is a better decision to send back to the Medicine King Valley to hide for a while.

sent Mu San away, and caught up with the imperial court to collect grain, Xia Mei understood that this time the country really couldn't hold on, its own area was not large, and it caught up with two natural disasters in a row, and no matter how much grain was stored, it had to be exhausted.

Therefore, Xia Mei looked at the grain in that corner of the cellar, sighed resignedly, and ordered Wen Hao to let go of the two carts.

This is already the limit of Tianfu.

The county order is very grateful, after all, in the list of food donations, Tianfu is the most sent, and I can't help but feel that the favorability of Tianfu Inn in the eyes of the county order has been increased to the maximum.

"Alas......"

Looking at the multigrain steamed buns and corn dregs porridge on the table, Xia Mei's brows were so frowning that she could kill flies.

I got up and went to the chicken pen in the backyard to take a look, at this time, where is there still food to feed the chickens? They can only go out and catch those dead seeds to eat, and they can grow okay, at least two or three eggs a day, and keep the family's basic protein source.

Taking the eggs back and frying them, Xia Mei looked at the two or three plates on the table and sighed gloomily again.

I worked hard to go out early and return late for a year and a half, and I returned to the pre-liberation period overnight!

Xia Mei's mood is really ...... Beep the whole biological chain!

There was no way, calling back the husband's son outside, the family of three finished breakfast plainly, Xia Mei wiped her mouth, stood up firmly, and strode out.

Wu Song: "? "Did the lady beat the chicken blood? Why did you suddenly become hyperactive?

Xia Mei walked quickly to the small courtyard of the Xia family, said hello to Wen Hao and Yunni in the courtyard, and rushed directly to the greenhouse behind the house.

Wen Hao asked Yunni with a confused face: "Is this ...... What happened to Mrs. Xia? ”

Since the restaurant was closed, the grain in the cellar was naturally cleaned by Xia Mei and transported back to his cellar by taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, and only Wu Song was familiar with the "path". Otherwise, behind the Wu family's small courtyard, the buildings on that land can be dug by Xia Mei The foundation is not guaranteed.

Widening her cellar and keeping the rations of several of them, Xia Mei slept a little more steadily.

Then Wen Hao and Liu Quan. Naturally, it also stayed in Oyama Village.

After all, there is nothing in the restaurant, the lock is tight, all the previous things are hidden, and there is no need for the two to stay in the restaurant.

In addition, it is more expensive for two people to open a stove alone...... So......

Facing Wen Hao's question at this moment, Yunni naturally knew what Xia Mei's situation was. Thinking that this matter should be known to Wen Hao, otherwise Xia Mei would not have walked directly to the back.

So he pursed his lips and smiled: "Come with me." ”

Wen Hao was taken to the back by Yunni, and when he first saw this large green plant, his eyes widened in surprise.

The greenhouse was pulled up as early as when the seedlings could basically survive, and then Xia Mei used a shelf to prop up the oilcloth, surrounded by a fence, and directly made the shape of a greenhouse.

However, it cannot be completely enclosed, seedlings are always plants, and plants must withstand wind and rain before they can take root. lest it be transplanted into the ground in the future, and the seedling will be killed and injured when a little rain comes, then Xia Meike will vomit blood.

Xia Mei is squatting on the edge of the ground at the moment, checking the growth of crops, because of the rainy season, the temperature is moderate and cannot hit the normal temperature of crop growth, so the growth rate is very slow, but fortunately, now such seedlings can survive when transplanted into the ground.

Come to think of it. Xia Mei couldn't help but show a relieved smile.

Wen Hao, who was stunned from the sidelines, also slowly came back to his senses at this moment, he couldn't imagine how this crop was grown, in such an environment. It can be called a miracle!

For the first time, Wen Hao began to wonder if Mrs. Xia was really good at magic skills.

Yun Ni looked at the straight eyes on Wen Hao's face from the side, and her eyes were unconsciously dyed with a smile.

Looking at the excellent crop seedlings on the side, a touch of pride unconsciously floated on his face, and countless emotions and a sense of achievement rose in his heart.

To know. This land has condensed countless efforts of her and Sister Xia Mei!

The magic technique against the sky is not so easy to get, and it is even more difficult in ancient times when there was no technology at all, and it was completely artificial imitation of the greenhouse, and it was inexperienced, and the hardships can be imagined.

But it doesn't matter, these things are the basics of Xia Mei's big things!

After confirming that the seedlings were ready to go to the ground, Xia Mei patted the mud on her trouser leg and stood up, calling the distracted Wen Hao and Yunni back to the yard.

Sitting under the tree in the courtyard, Xia Mei first asked Wen Hao to retrieve Wen Xi and Liu Quan, who were picking wild vegetables outside.

Seriously, Xia Mei didn't think that after so long, there were still any wild vegetables to keep waiting for Wen Xi and Liu Quan, two half-literary laymen, to pick, as long as they were eaten now, they were precious, and wild vegetables or something were probably extinct long ago.

Sure enough, when Wen Xi came back, the basket in his hand was empty, there was not half a straw, and his little face was full of disappointment.

Xia Mei didn't say much, just sat them all down, and started talking about her plans very formally.

It stands to reason that Xia Mei can directly let them implement this matter, but Xia Mei has a selfish intention, that is, these people are her own...... Henchmen, who are cultivated in the future, also have to be independent, and naturally they can't just understand the skin.

And at the moment, the opportunity is rare, Xia Mei does not allow any mistakes in this matter, so she will tell her plan and discuss.

"You also know that if there is a food shortage today, if the seedlings in our field can grow up healthily, they will definitely walk in front of all the grains, and when the time comes, it is needless to say how popular these grains are."

"And the more than 200 acres of land I exchanged for before are also for today's business."

Hearing this, Wen Hao's eyes showed a look of understanding, and when he looked at Xia Mei's expression, he became more and more respectful.

The other people present, although they had already guessed in their hearts, were told by Xia Mei at this moment, but they were more and more excited, and their eyes lit up irrepressibly.

Without explaining the reason, Xia Mei continued: "It's just that the key is that this batch of seedlings must not go on any errands!" If something goes wrong, then our plan will be in vain. ”

As soon as these words came out, sure enough, everyone slowly calmed down, and what they said was right, such a large number of seedlings grew silently in the ground, no one believed it, and their eyes were red.

This is a bone eye, isn't this obviously for people to rob?!

After a moment of silence, Xia Mei spoke again, but this time her voice was much heavier: "Since ancient times, wealth has always been sought in danger. Now there is no suitable way but to ......"

"Hold it by force!"

Several people present glanced at each other and saw each other's firmness, so they said in unison: "Don't worry!" Mrs. Xia! ”

"Don't worry! Master! ”

"Don't worry, Sister Xia Mei!"

Xia Meiyan's eyes floated with a little relief, this matter is indeed difficult, the key is that your seedlings must be heavy in the ground, and you can't cover them, so you can't block other people's coveting.

Moreover, at such a critical time, even if everyone is only interested in the seedlings at present, but when the crops bear fruit a little, at that time, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to protect.

Xia Mei knows that this matter is difficult, so she naturally has countermeasures, otherwise how dare she act rashly?!

At this time, Wen Xi suddenly asked out loud, "Master...... But wouldn't it be good if those people stole our family's food and sent it to the government to punish them severely? If you think about it, other people will be much more restrained. ”

Hearing this, the others also focused their eyes on Xia Mei, and a sneer crossed her eyes, and she said coldly: "The law is not responsible for the public." ”

Sometimes, one person is a criminal, two are criminal, ten are criminals, but what about a hundred, hundreds of people?

When the time comes, it will really cause public anger, and she thinks that the county order still knows that sacrificing her one and benefiting tens of millions of families is a sure way to make a profit!

"Wenxi, remember, at any time, don't pin your hopes on the law and human nature."

Only oneself is the most real reliance, and only when one's fists are hard, there will be no bullying.

Only if you are strong enough to make the rules of your own world, you will not be criticized by anyone at any time.

Secretly clenched her fists, Xia Mei thought that it was time to ask for that favor from the Medicine King Valley.

…………

After discussing the matter, I handed over some miscellaneous grains, this child learns the recipes of the restaurant on weekdays, and now he is stumped to make a multigrain pancake.

Feeling the difficulty of food cramping, Xia Mei only felt that she was really bitter in her heart, and this feeling of returning to the pre-liberation period overnight was really ...... Don't be too sour! (To be continued.) )
