The late spring of Chengdu Mansion becomes terrifying because of the lack of rain, Tianyang hangs in the sky without shelter, and the whole Chengdu is gray as far as the eye can see, the emerald mountains of the past years now seem to be covered with a layer of dust, becoming a little yellow, the fields are still green, the rice fields are still full of life, but such a scenery can not hide the scorched status quo on the hills.

In the past, the small river with green water, now there is grass growing at the bottom of the river, Yun Zheng is very strange, there is no water, those lotus flowers can still drill out green shoots, but the lotus root hidden under the silt may not know, no matter how hard it works to promote the generator, the green shoots will become dead branches without exception after the high silt......

Yun Zheng saw a few fish that were foaming at each other, looked up at the sun, and he firmly believed that these fish would not hold out until the sun set...... It's too small to go down and pick it up, but other children don't see it that way, and when they catch fish, they immediately put them in baskets, and even though they are only an inch and a half long, the children of poor families know when to store food.

The disaster lasted from winter to late spring, which made Zhang Fangping's psychology extremely anxious, his order did not let the rich people in Chengdu Mansion loosen in any way, as the disaster continued, more and more victims poured into Chengdu Mansion, Zhang Fangping's tone changed from tough to persuasive, Yun Zheng knew that the next thing was to plead, but after pleading, it was logical to use force.

The Yun family's food has been decreasing, there are 33 stores in Chengdu that specialize in selling wine, and the wine koji is sold by the official family every year. The best time to reduce the cost of your own distilled spirits is in a famine year!

Only at this time, the wine warehouse of the imperial court will be short of grain, and only at this time will the price of wine and grain be not much different, and the wine brewed last year will become sour if it cannot be quickly taken off by now.

And the production of wine is the only purpose of the wine storehouse, if there is no wine. Those huge and complicated officials have no income, and there is no way to collect the liquor tax, which is a big sin!

The Yun family slowly sold the grain bought at a low price to the official family, this is Zhang Fangping's pleading measure, and it is also the last way out, at this stage, Yun Zheng sold the grain without the slightest hesitation.

Su Xun even sang praises to the Yun family for this, of course, singing praises at this time is purely a brain-dead act. After Yun Zheng's repeated pleas, Lao Su let go of the Yun family and went to recite the Lu family instead. Because the old lady of the Lu family also spoke. In order to support the prefect, he also sold his own grain to the official family at a high price.

Lu Qingqing watched her husband pull back countless wines after pulling out the grain, and the grief in her heart was almost indescribable, at this time, even fools knew that keeping food was the most correct way.

The sericulture was strict, so the silk reeling workshop was in a state of semi-suspension, so those women began to steam wine under the leadership of bacon. This job needs to be done all the way to the fall.

Nowadays, there is not much rice in the Yunjia family, and the rest is wheat, so they stopped selling grain to the housekeeper, because the local grain in Chengdu is rice, and the officials think that the wheat is distributed as relief grain. So it is not in the ranks of liquidation.

The laws of the Great Song Dynasty are so fine that people have nothing to say, since a large amount of wheat is not counted as grain. The Yun family naturally refuses to let go of the wheat now, but it is very hateful, and the flour is in the ranks of the prohibitions, which is a quote from the provisions inside, since Zhang Fangping personally compiled this book, he naturally wants to use it to restrain others, and can find loopholes from this, Yun Zheng feels very happy, the discipline of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty in this regard is admirable, and it is feasible if the law does not prohibit it.

When Su Xun informed Zhang Fangping of the Yun family's situation, he could only call Hehe in vain.

Yun Zheng has never regarded this as an honor, this loophole was discovered when he was researching, his family is full, and the whole world is hungry, which is definitely not a good thing, and when the food is almost eaten, it may be a good idea to take the whole family to escape the famine with gold and silver.

It's scary to be in a hungry crowd, it's scary to think about!

Since the winter holiday in the academy, it has been in a state of vacation, the imperial court does not give enough rice and food, so they can only go home to eat, Mr. Peng Li scattered the little rice grain to the students and Mr. Peng, so their meals are still guaranteed.

The old gentleman is already very old, every three days, Yun Zheng must send Han Niu to send some food over, I heard that the old gentleman doesn't even drink wine now, and only eats two meals a day, so it can't go on like this.

Other students will also send meals to Mr., but Mr. will only accept the Yun family, because in the old man's opinion, Yun Zheng is a person who can eat well in any situation.

The mulberry field is a good place, the mulberry trees there are all low shrubs, the highest is only one zhang high, the inside is very clean by the Cang'er they clean, under the scorching sun to drill into it, very refreshing.

Dry heat, dry heat, Chengdu Mansion in April has become a furnace, the family can not live, can only move to the mulberry forest, I don't know when, those weavers also took their families to live in the mulberry forest, but not to the place where the Yun family lives, far away from the edge of the mulberry forest.

The path on the edge of the mulberry forest is full of smoke, and there are a lot of people who live in the mulberry forest this year, not only the Yun family, but all the people who have a mulberry forest will live here.

Where there is a mulberry forest, the terrain is often very open, and the wind can blow over, relieving the heat a little, Lu Qingqing said to Yun Zheng worriedly: "Husband, in this way, the population of our family will become more and more." ”

"It is common for tenants to cling to the master's house, but it is a big sin for the weaver to cling to the master's house, which is inappropriate, and our family does not need to make this clear, the year is not good, and they all want to eat, so they will forget their wishes."

Lu Qingqing looked at the acacia rice sent by the weaver on the table, took a bite, and sighed. She used to like acacia rice very much, but now she can't eat a good taste, and the bad weather has ruined everyone's appetite.

If you eat something from others, you have to thank you, Yun Zheng took Lu Qingqing and carried a basket of pastries, and each family gave one, it was strange that everyone who came to pick up the pastries was a woman, Yun Zheng was not good at moving forward, and he shook a fan behind him and smirked like Maitreya Buddha, but the children were still very scared, holding their mother's legs and shrinking back.

The mother slapped the child and said with a smiling face: "The children of small families have never seen the world, so you can laugh." ”

Yun Zheng originally wanted to say a few polite words, but when the words came out of his mouth, they turned into a domineering look: "It's cool to live in the mulberry forest, you can live, but you have to manage the lights, now the weather is dry and dry, once the water is gone, it will burn the camp, even if we want to fight the fire, there is no place to find water, be careful." ”

The woman hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly dragged the child with a piece of mung bean cake and ran away without a shadow, hiding Yun Zheng was like hiding from a vicious dog.

Lu Qingqing smiled and praised his husband for having the momentum of the head of the family, the woman's family should be kinder, the man's family should be more severe, and the head of the family should make everyone afraid.

Yun Zheng didn't know how to explain it, he had unconsciously integrated into the stream of consciousness of the feudal parents, and he had little common language with the people, so he had to go to the forest occupied by Su Shi's family.

There was no wind in the evening, and it was hot in the mulberry forest, because there were many people, so swarms of mosquitoes rushed down like an overwhelming rush, Su Shi, Su Zhe was bitten and screamed, and Lao Su helplessly took a fan to help his son catch mosquitoes. He was only wearing obscene clothes, very wolf-like, although the man with a big head still kept his hands.

Lao Su did not allow the women in the family to go out, so it was the father and son who went to sleep in the mulberry forest, and when they went out, they thought too simply, they didn't take the mosquito net, and they lit a bunch of dead grass in front of them and smoked, which had no effect on repelling mosquitoes at all.

Yun Zheng patted Su Shi's bare back and asked him to take his younger brother to find Yun Er, there was not a single mosquito there, Cang'er knew that kind of thing could drive away mosquitoes, and at Yun Zheng's request, soon the mosquitoes in the place where Su Xun lived would be gone.

"There is no wind today, so mosquitoes are rampant, Chengdu Mansion is like spring all year round, the old man can't remember when the last time it was hot, not to mention that it's only early May, and I don't know how hot it will be in June.

The old man suspects that once the heat passes, there will be a heavy rain, and it is reasonable to prevent drought and flooding. ”

Yun Zheng shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "God always has to give Chengdu Mansion a chance to breathe, it won't be so unforgiving, it will be fine, the tiles in the house are baked red, and I can't sleep at night, my wife and the female relatives of the family are going to suffer, so it's better to invite them over together, sleep here, and sleep peacefully." Too hot is prone to heat stroke. ”

Su Xun ignored Yun Zheng's nonsense about letting his wife and daughter come over, everyone naturally needs to be decent, unlike the Yun family, there is only one hostess, and everything is done with temperament.

"The fifth chapter says that heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, God has no preference for people, just like treating flowers and trees, will not deliberately give you favors, nor will he deliberately create obstacles for you, he will only walk along his own fixed path, now that he has embarked on a fork in the road, what about taking two more steps?"

Seeing that Lao Su was really hot, no wonder, he was covered tightly up and down, although he was wearing obscene clothes, he even wore stockings and pants, and tied them with straps, unlike Yun Zheng's shorts and shorts, as long as a folding fan was naturally refreshing, people were angry when they spoke, Yun Zheng took out a jar of sour plum soup from behind him, which was full of crushed ice, and the jar was full of condensed water beads, which made people cool from the inside out.

Su Xun never imagined that the Yun family would hide ice, which is a rare thing in Kaifeng Bianliang City, how could the Yun family have it?
