On a July day, the sky is like a melting pot, the scorching earth is cracked and the heat is unbearable.

And Ye Guhong still insists on practicing swordsmanship every day.

Coupled with the cooperation of holding Puzi's longevity, and the double rest of Yingying at night, Ye Guhong's physical fitness was strengthened little by little.

And the sales of Coke, because of the hot weather, are booming again.

In such a hot weather, the Coke is not too refreshing to drink with ice.

But for the vast majority of the people, such hot weather is a disaster for them.

The crops in the field gradually withered.

The water level in the river is gradually decreasing.

The riverbed slowly revealed.

For the people, in the scorching summer, the crops in the fields had a small drought every three days and a major drought in ten days.

Seeing that the wheat has less than half a month to go, it will be ready for harvest.

But at this time, there was a great drought for more than ten days, and the ears were still empty, and this year's wheat can have one-tenth of the harvest of previous years, which is considered good.

On the side of Wucheng Village, because the fields are close to the river, they can still be barely watered, but they will not lose too much.

Besides, they can all go into the factory to work.

The wages in the factories have actually far exceeded their grain harvest.

For them, the drought has not affected them much.

But for the people in other places, especially in the Guanzhong area, it is an insurmountable disaster.

On this day, Ye Guhong had just finished practicing swordsmanship.

I was sitting in the shade of a tree, drinking Coke with ice, and it was very cool.

Ying Ying was next to him, fanning him.

Ye Guhong said a few times that he didn't want her to do this kind of thing.

Just leave this kind of thing to the little girl to do.

But Yingying just doesn't listen, and likes to serve her son by herself.

After a long time, Ye Guhong also went by her.

Ye Guhong saw that Yingying's state was not good.

couldn't help but ask, "Yingying, do you have anything on your mind?" ”

Ying Ying said worriedly: "Childe, the weather is so dry now, people are worried about the people in Guanzhong." ”

"The wheat is about to ripen, and this drought is afraid that they will reduce their production a lot. Not to mention that there is no harvest of grains, there is not much difference. ”

"Alas, I am afraid that it will not be long before hundreds of people will be displaced and become homeless. I don't know how many people will be ruined. ”

Hearing Yingying's words, Ye Guhong couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Yingying, are you worrying about the sky?" ”

"Didn't the wheat be harvested in May or June? Where is the wheat that has not been harvested? ”

In later generations, Ye Guhong was a child from the countryside.

He himself has also cut wheat.

Usually around mid-May, the wheat is harvested in his hometown.

Further north, it's probably going to be a little later, but it shouldn't be more than June.

It's July now, where is the wheat?

Ying Ying's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say, "Childe, I'm afraid you haven't been on the ground, right?" ”

"The wheat was harvested from late July to early August, and people have also gone to the ground! Where is the wheat that is harvested in May and June? ”

"Don't talk about other places, the wheat in our Wucheng Village hasn't been harvested yet! I'm afraid Childe hasn't seen it in the field, hehe! ”

Well, the land in Wucheng Village is outside the village.

And the weather has been hot recently, Ye Guhong basically doesn't go out much, and he really hasn't been to the field to see it.

But how can the wheat be harvested in July and August?

This season, it's not right at all?

Ye Guhong couldn't help but ask, "Yingying, when was the wheat sown?" ”

Ying Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course, it's February and March every year!" ”

Hearing this, Ye Guhong finally came to his senses.

In this era, it was still spring wheat.

The sow is late, and the harvest is late.

In later generations, it was basically all winter wheat.

It is sown in autumn every year and harvested in May and June of the following year.

After harvesting, another crop can be planted to achieve three crops in two years.

And now, the weather is dry, and it is really a disaster for hundreds of people!

When there is a drought, there will be displacement.

If there are displaced people, the court will provide disaster relief.

Disaster relief is also an opportunity for them.

Thinking of this, Ye Guhong couldn't help but find Nangong Wan'er.

Until now, Nangong Wan'er still willingly stays by Ye Guhong's side and acts as Ye Guhong's maid.

Of course, since having Yingying, Ye Guhong has not really called her as a maid.

Not long after, Nangong Wan'er was invited over.

Ye Guhong couldn't help but say to Nangong Wan'er: "Wan'er, now that the weather is drought, reducing production is almost a certain thing. ”

"Now, the Nangong family should start buying grain. to prepare. ”

Nangong Wan'er said with a smile: "Son, our Nangong family has already started to buy grain. ”

"It's just that there isn't much grain purchased."

"Moreover, now that the price of grain is rising rapidly, it should be those families who have also begun to purchase grain."

That's right, since this kind of opportunity has been encountered, how can any family let go of this opportunity to raise the market price?

Ye Guhong couldn't help but ask Nangong Wan'er: "Wan'er, you Nangong family, do you want to soar into the sky and be the number one family in the world?" ”

Hearing Ye Guhong's words, Nangong Wan'er couldn't help but smile and said, "Childe, even if our Nangong family thinks about it, this is not something we can say?" ”

"Five surnames and seven hopes, these old families, are stronger than us, but they are not a star and a half, how can we compete with them?"

Ye Guhong smiled faintly and said, "You Nangong family, do you dare to be the first in the world?" ”

Nangong Wan'er's heart was beating wildly, and she couldn't help but ask, "What does Childe mean?" ”

Ye Guhong said slowly: "This time, almost all the people in Guanzhong will be affected. ”

"When the time comes, disaster relief will inevitably become a problem for the imperial court. And what I mean is to let the Six Princes uncover the task of disaster relief. ”

"At the same time, your Nangong family took advantage of the situation, at least in terms of reputation, to become the first family in the world."

"Of course, when the time comes, you will be the target of public criticism. You have to weigh the gains and losses for yourselves. ”

Nangong Wan'er couldn't help but ask again: "Disaster relief is a big problem. ”

"Now that the treasury is empty, there is not much grain in the granaries everywhere, and there is far from enough money and food, how can we take on such a thankless task?"

Ye Guhong smiled and said, "Actually, disaster relief is not difficult. When the time comes, we just need to do this and so, and we can get there. ”

After hearing Ye Guhong's words, Nangong Wan'er's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Childe, this method of yours is really lacking in virtue! I like it, though! ”

"However, if we take the initiative to take on this task, will it arouse the suspicion of others."

Ye Guhong smiled slightly and said: "Although we have to take over the task, we must not take the initiative, we must let them frame us." ”
