The old house is constantly troubled, because of being isolated by the villagers, the Huang family thinks that the initiator is Su Liu, especially their own grandson, they can't even raise their own grandchildren, and they hate them to death, regardless of Old Man Su's prevention, they just went to Su Liu's place to find a stubble.

But Su Liu and the others didn't hear it, and they still lived their nourishing days behind closed doors, not affected at all. In fact, Su Liu didn't have that time to pay attention to Huang's unreasonable troubles, why? Or because of the food.

It has not rained for more than a month, and the high temperature has continued, not only in Daao Village, but also in the whole of Gyeongju, as well as in other prefectures and provinces, there is also a large-scale drought, the rivers have dried up, and most of the crops that are about to be harvested have also died.

The rain has not fallen, and the rice in the field has not yet fully matured, and there are already signs of dying, and those old crops that have lived for decades even say that the rice is not harvested now, and I am afraid that if it does not wait for the rain to fall, it will all die, so Daao Village has also begun to harvest.

If the crops are harvested before they are fully ripe, the yield will certainly be reduced, and the tenant farmers who have paid the rent will be even more distressed, because then they will not have much left after paying the rent, and the next crop will be difficult to grow.

The land in Su Liu's house was rented out at forty percent rent, and the grain tenant farmers prepared it themselves, seeing that the crops were about to be harvested but were going to die, her heart was also pinched, and she went to Chentian Village to take a look.

Wu Sheng personally accompanied her to the field, and along the way, he talked about the weather and the harvest in a panic, and promised that the rent would be paid first, lest Su Liu would not rent the land to them.

"Big girl, don't worry, this rent, even if our family doesn't eat it, we will give it to you first." Wu Sheng's back was a little bent, his dark face was covered with sweat, and he was half a step behind Su Liu.

In the fields, many villagers were busy harvesting under the scorching sun, and when they saw Su Liu walking by wearing a curtain, they all stood up and looked over here.

When I arrived at Suliu's field, I could see that the ears of grain in that field were heavy, and the rice grass was already a little dry, but it had not yet reached the sign of safe death, and it was even greener than other fields.

"Since the day it got hot, this field has been pumped, I haven't been at ease, I have come to see it several times a day, and I feel that this field is drying faster, so I bring water over, and I can't lead it, so I pick up water to irrigate, so I ......" Wu Sheng seemed to see Su Liu's question, so he explained honestly.

Even if he didn't explain, Su Liu also knew that the crops in her field would grow better, and they would definitely be inseparable from people's careful materials.

When she came, she saw that the sons of the Wusheng family were all sunburned like black charcoal, and when she saw this place again, she knew that this family was very attentive.

"You've worked hard." Su Liu was very satisfied, and said: "I see that your land will not die for a while, and it is estimated that it can wait for a few days, but it can be harvested later." ”

When Wu Sheng heard this, he immediately said: "The eldest girl is right, I plan to do so, and if it doesn't rain for a few more days, the harvest will have to be harvested." The rent will also be paid to the girl on time. ”

"This is not in a hurry, this is a natural disaster, if the harvest is really bad, this rent can be reduced at your discretion, you don't have this psychological pressure, the key is to prepare the seeds for the next year first." Su Liu soothed the tunnel.

Wu Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, he almost didn't kneel down and kowtow to Su Liu, and said excitedly: "With the girl's words, I am relieved." ”

Su Liu smiled and nodded, and went to see the land of another tenant farmer, Li Guihe, who was sitting on the ridge in the field, still smoking dry tobacco, and saw that Wu Sheng led Su Liu to come, and hurriedly ran over.

Li Guihe's land is also okay, Xu is with Wusheng, everyone has the heart to compare, so it won't be too ugly, he also said that he is going to look at it for a few more days, but it is really not successful.

Su Liu also comforted a few words, promising the two families that if it was really because of the reduction of the harvest in the natural disaster, she would consider reducing the rent, and both of them were very grateful to Dade.

Leaving from Chentian Village, Su Liu went to the town for a walk, and found that the price of rice in this rice shop had risen, and he couldn't help but be more worried.

The power of nature is infinite, a person is the most powerful, the most courageous, in the face of natural disasters, is also insignificant, this summer harvest because of the drought and the harvest is greatly reduced, those tenant farmers pay all the rent, grit their teeth to save the grain from the gap between their teeth, the rations are basically not settled, and now the price of rice has risen again, it is really a bolt from the blue for the poor people.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, shopkeeper, how much rice do you have here, we have bought it in Qiu's mansion." A fat man dressed like a manager walked up to the rice shop and waved his hand arrogantly.

Su Liu frowned, pursed his lips and remained silent, watching coldly from the side.

The man saw that the rice was overweighed, and let it be sent to Qiu's mansion, so he walked to the next rice shop, and Su Liu hurriedly got into the carriage and followed.

When he arrived at the next rice shop, Su Liu sent Shuangning to inquire, and sure enough, the man also bought polished rice and other better rice, and walked several times in a row.

Su Liu followed all the way, her brows were tightly wrinkled, she knew that her family also sold rice, but the reputation was not very good, not to mention the short catties, and the rice sold also seeped some small stones, and the business has not been very good.

But at this juncture, the Qiu family is buying rice on a large scale, is this to buy the rice from the rice shop in the town, so that they can take the opportunity to sell it at a large price in the future?

Included at a low price and sold at a high price, thinking of this possibility, Su Liu's face sank suddenly.

In this way, the people will have to eat expensive rice, so in front of this natural disaster, they have to sell their sons and daughters to eat?

"Go back." Su Liu followed the man to Qiu's mansion, and when he saw that he was really from Qiu's mansion, he drove back.

As soon as he got home, Su Liu drank two bowls of chilled mung bean soup, and then went back to the room to write a letter to Song Fei, I have to talk to him about this matter today, if it is a drought, it will be enough, once the news of the war comes out, the court will prepare grain and grass, this rice grain will definitely be more nervous, the people have no food to eat, and even force to buy expensive rice, then something will definitely happen.

Song Fei received Su Liu's letter, and immediately closed the study with the Song prefect and his eldest brother to discuss for a long time, as long as the Song prefect reigned for one day, this Gyeongju was their Song family's territory, and there was no chaos.

As a result, one directive after another was issued, one of which stated that no merchant should maliciously raise the price of grain, and if anyone found selling rice at a price higher than the market price, he would be ordered to close the shop and be dealt with by the criminal law.

As for those merchants who had stored a lot of grain, Song Fei didn't move, and only asked people to secretly tune out the amount they bought, just waiting for the opportunity in the future to spit it out.

Su Liu knew that old foxes like Song Fei and them wanted those merchants to spit out the rice and grain, and there was a way, so they would be at ease.

Rao is like this, Su Liu also secretly reminded the daughter-in-law and aunt who were good friends with the Chen family, and asked them to inform their relatives that they should not be in a hurry to sell the grain, if they really want to sell the grain, she can buy it here at a silver price two yuan higher than the market price.

As soon as this news came out, the landed people in this family were boiling, and whoever sold this grain was sold, Su Liu was willing to use silver at a market price higher than two yuan to collect it, so naturally everyone was willing to sell it to her.

However, there are also many people who are speculating about why Su Liu is doing this, is it for a good reputation or what he wants to do?

Even Su Xiao and Chen couldn't understand Su Liu's approach.

"Sister, aren't our granaries full, what are we doing with so much grain? Do you want to open a rice shop? Su Xiao asked with a pair of big eyes.

Chen also looked at her and said, "Yes, Liu'er, there are only a few people in our family, and we can't finish eating that grain for two years." ”

Su Liu smiled slightly and explained: "Our granary is full, but it is all old grain from last winter, this grain must be replaced with the new, there is new grain, and the old must be replaced with the old grain, so that it will not become old grain." ”

"What about the old ones?"

"Sell it." Su Liu didn't blink, and said: "Now there is a lot less rice grain on the market, and the new rice grain has been collected by those big families, and this year is such a weather, this grain must be in short supply, and the price is naturally expensive if there is less food." Although stale grain is stale grain, it can save lives when it is scarce. ”

"Is this all right? In the end, it is old grain. Chen hesitated.

"Mother, what we collected is all last year's grain, and it's not old. If there is a real famine, let alone last year, it is a few years ago, and it is also a precious thing. ”

Su Liu is also telling the truth, in the famine year, who cares what time you have the grain, it would be good if you could eat a full stomach, she heard her grandfather in her previous life say that when there was a famine, even the roots of the tree were pulled out and eaten. They are lucky, they received all the old food from last year, even if they eat for two years, there will be no problem.

There is another point that Su Liu did not say, that is, the problem of fighting at the border pass that she has been worried about, for fear that as soon as this war comes out, the imperial court will levy a large amount of grain or taxes in order to collect grain and grass. Once this happens, the people will be even worse, and at this time, the grain of the big merchants will definitely be collected, and the grain on the market will be less, and her grain and Cao Kui's will be expensive.

Soon, Su Liu's worries came true.

One day at the end of July, black clouds were accumulating in the sky, and a student suddenly rushed into the Chunmantang Restaurant in the town, holding the newspaper in his hand, and said loudly: "The Tartars colluded with the Northern Kingdom and issued a war letter to my Daqi, and my Daqi State took it and was going to fight!" ”

It's going to war!

With a bang, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and dark clouds rolled, but in an instant, bean-sized raindrops began to fall.

God, who hasn't rained for almost two months, it's finally raining, and the Great Qi Kingdom, which has been peaceful for fifteen years, is about to go to war, this is an eventful summer!
