Chapter 124: Important Matters (2)

"This son-in-law ......," Shopkeeper Sun was about to introduce the young man to Li Xin.

"Under the surname Yin, Yin Tianchen." The young man interrupted Shopkeeper Sun's words. Every move, with a kind of domineering that has been in a high position for a long time and naturally brought out. Although he is still very young, his face has always been very strict. Looking at it carefully, his face is actually a little immature, but there is absolutely no immature feeling in the feeling he gives people.

"It's Yin Gongzi! Now that you're here, let's get straight to the point! I'm not idle here, and I think you're all busy people. Li Xin said with a smile. After finishing speaking, she drank tea quietly, waiting for Yin Tianchen's reaction.

"There are many places in the north that have been hit by drought, and in some places, it has not rained for more than 200 days. It's already boring, and the imperial court wants to provide disaster relief, but in recent years, there have been many disasters across the country, and the treasury is really empty. There is not much surplus grain in the granaries everywhere. I heard from the Sun family that Miss Li will harvest a lot of sweet potatoes here, and I have also tasted sweet potatoes, and the taste is not bad, mainly because it can withstand hunger. That's why I came to Miss Li. ”

"I already understand what Yin Gongzi means. You want to use those sweet potatoes for disaster relief, right? So what does the imperial court mean, is Yin Gongzi the final say in everything? Li Xin thought about it and asked. It turned out to be a drought thing, and natural disasters are often so unpredictable, and the affected areas are often very wide. When there is a disaster, a multitude of people will suffer.

In the previous life she was familiar with, it was even better, the transportation was very developed, and she knew where the disaster was and could rescue her quickly. All kinds of supplies can also be quickly transported by plane and then airdropped. Moreover, the country is also relatively wealthy, and there is a lot of food and the like. The country's leaders also attach great importance to post-disaster relief work, and once a disaster occurs, the rescue is still very timely and can save many people.

However, in this era, it should not be as good as the previous life! Not to mention the matter of transportation, I don't know if the imperial court or local officials are concerned. If the court is good, if the court is not careful, the people will be really miserable.

The drought is actually still terrible, it doesn't rain for a long time, and the crops can't grow. Not only can't crops grow, but even people can drink water that will be problematic. She hadn't heard of droughts, and in some places, she had to drill a hundred feet deep to get water. In some places, you have to walk dozens of miles to fetch water to drink.

"Yes. I have full authority over the matter of the imperial court's disaster relief this time. The meaning of the imperial court was to let Miss Li take the dug sweet potatoes to disaster relief first. However, the imperial court does not have much money to pay Miss Li for the time being, and she still has to owe some days first. However, the imperial court will give some rewards to Miss Li's family. ”

"Since it's a matter of saving people, then I should go down. If you owe the money for the time being, you owe it! It's nothing to talk about later. I don't expect a reward from the imperial court, since it was Shopkeeper Sun who came with Yin Gongzi. Then, I can also trust Yin Gongzi. The sweet potatoes have all been sorted out and placed in the cellars and warehouses. I think the transportation will be arranged by Yin Gongzi's side, so I won't interfere. ”

"Miss Li understands righteousness, and since Miss Li trusts me, then Miss Li should also rest assured. The money that should be given will definitely be given to Miss Li for a lot of money, but Miss Li is asked to wait for the time being. Now I have to raise a lot of food, and almost all the money has been spent. Yin Tianchen spoke, a rare little embarrassed.

"I'll take Yin Gongzi to the warehouse to take a look first!" Li Xin said, already standing up. It turns out that this is such a thing, and it is not a very serious thing! Shopkeeper Sun was so cautious before, it really scared her, and she thought it was something! However, if you think about it, it seems to be understandable.

This Young Master Yin is so young that he can preside over the disaster relief affairs of the imperial court, and it is not easy to think about his identity. Shopkeeper Sun is so careful, I'm afraid I think the identity of this Yin Gongzi!

Li Xin stepped forward and opened the door, and took a few people to the warehouse. Because the cellar inside the Zhuangzi is relatively small, most of the sweet potatoes are still stored in the warehouse. Fresh vegetables from the south are available almost all year round, and most people don't use cellars very much. Even if there is a cellar, it is generally not large, after all, there are not so many things to put in it.

In the north, there are long winters, so almost every household has a cellar, and the scale is not small. Because, to survive the long winter, many families have to store a lot of food in the cellar.

On Zhuangzi, the scale of the warehouse is quite large. Because, when he thought about planting sweet potatoes on a large scale, Li Xin also asked Wang Fu and his wife to expand the scale of the warehouse. Nowadays, the warehouse on Zhuangzi is very large, a large row of houses. However, there were a lot of sweet potatoes dug up this time, and Pinxiangge didn't buy too many, so almost all the sweet potatoes were filled to the brim.

Soon, it was time for the warehouse. Li Xin took out the key to the warehouse and stepped forward to open the door of the warehouse. There are a lot of sweet potatoes piled up inside, and the seeds of the sweet potatoes are very good, so the size of the sweet potatoes is also very large, and the large piles of sweet potatoes are piled together, like a hill, and it is still very comfortable to look at.

In this era, food is still the lifeblood of a family! Many large families will store a lot of grain. After all, with food, it is always easier to survive no matter what time and under what circumstances.

"There really are a lot of sweet potatoes!" Yin Tianchen squatted down, took two sweet potatoes and looked at them carefully. Why didn't he think that food was so moving! Perhaps, only when we know the severity of the drought and the many people who are suffering from hunger can we know the importance of food.

Seeing the tragic situation of those people, he realized that so many people in the capital lived a luxurious life, and that comparison was really sad. When I think about the life I used to live, I also feel that I am a very annoying person. In the past, he didn't want to eat any food that was the slightest bit unpalatable. In the past so many years, a lot of food was really wasted, and a lot of silver money was really wasted in eating
