On Luoliang Mountain, it is in full swing.

3,000 displaced people joined, and all kinds of problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation needed to be solved.

The vacant houses in Houshan are already full, and even then there are still 1,000 displaced people who have no land to resettle.

So the hill was re-planned, and rows of stone houses were built again.

Everything in Luoliang Mountain is novel, such as terraced fields, ondols, simple greenhouses, coal mines, railroad tracks, and systems......

Liu Lianqing was squeezed by the 3,000 displaced people brought by Tang Xidong until she fell ill, probably because of the wind and cold, so everything was pressed on Tang Xidong.

The 3,000 displaced people put a lot of pressure on Tang Xidong.

There was no cotton and silk for weaving on the mountain, and the textile workshop that Tang Xidong had always wanted to build could only be shelved.

The addition of 3,000 displaced people has increased the number of people up and down Luoliang Mountain to 7,000 at once, and the rations for 7,000 people are also a problem, and the daily consumption of grain is about 10,000 catties.

Although Tang Xidong was anxious, he couldn't show it on his face, and he always had to give the new and old villagers a reassurance.

The speed of brick burning is somewhat unstable, so the newly built houses can only be half stone and half masonry.

Fortunately, the stone is ready-made, and the back mountain is about to be dug up, vacating a large field, if there are people going up the mountain in the future, they are not afraid of no land to build a house.

Even so, Tang Xidong still feels that the city wall under the mountain has been erected early, and now the cottage is crowded, and there is almost no room for development, maybe it can be expanded outward, but now, let's do it first, and solve the problems in front of us first.

Tang Xidong found that the biggest problem now is the problem of eating.

First, there is not much grain in stock, and it can only be supplied for four or five months on the basis of the existing population.

Second, the rations are too monotonous, and although some of the vegetables are also eaten on the terraces, they are by no means enough for everyone to eat, and even only for some people.

The third is that without oil and water, the whole cottage can only rely on the little game from hunting to satisfy its hunger.

Finally, there is oil and salt, which are the most scarce in cottages.

Solving the problem of eating is imminent and cannot wait any longer.

After inspecting the city wall from the mountain, Tang Xidong was about to go to see Liu Lianqing on the hospital bed, and met Han Yi who was wandering around the cottage with his entourage.

After Han Yi went up the mountain, he found that this cottage was very different from what he imagined, there was no government to maintain order, but the order was orderly, and more than 7,000 people in the cottage had food to eat, which was the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty.

On the way back to his hometown, he was used to seeing the wilderness of corpses, seeing all the poverty, and being tired of seeing officials not serving the people, and suddenly appeared in this happy land, which made Han Yi's mood very complicated.

First of all, he used to be the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, but now it seems that there is no way to govern the country. Secondly, he realized that governing the country is not as good as governing the township, doing everything personally, and the talent that can be seen by the eyes can be displayed.

This Ming Dynasty has decayed to such an extent, like the roots of an old tree rotting, I am afraid that it will collapse like a building in an instant.

The more you can see the filth outside, the more you feel relieved and friendly to this novel cottage.

I admired the thin scholar even more, he was not as good as Lian Po, he was still able to eat, and he was just dying, his heart was old, and he didn't have the strength to stay alone in the court back then.

"Old man, the weather is dry and cold, you should pay more attention to your body!" Tang Xidong saluted Han Yi, from the initial incomprehension, to now he has already understood Han Yi's intention to go up the mountain, empathy, he can't do it for the sake of the homeless people to fall into the den of thieves with unknown fortunes and misfortunes.

"Little brother, don't remember, the little old man's body can survive for two years." Han Yi smiled self-deprecatingly.

Under the guidance of Tang Xidong, they found a stone house on the side of the terraces, signaled that the woman did not have to be courteous, and the two of them found two wooden chairs with rough workmanship and sat down.

"Little Lao'er went up the mountain, only to find that this small Luoliang Mountain is like a paradise, these 7,000 homeless people can have enough food and clothing under the hard work of the little brother, little brother, you have immeasurable merits, but I am a hidden talent in the Ming Dynasty." Han Yi praised.

Tang Xidong smiled bitterly and shook his head and didn't answer, he knew his own family affairs, who would know the crisis lurking under the tranquility on the surface of this cottage?

"Looking at the little brother, it seems that he is worried, it is better to say it, it is impossible to say that the little old man can solve one or two." Seeing Tang Xidong smiling bitterly, Han Yi frowned and asked.

Tang Xidong thought about it, and there was nothing that could not be said Now that everyone will know it for a while, he said: "There are more than 7,000 people in the cottage now, and the daily consumption of this food is very large, and the summer grain is not urgent, I am afraid that it will be difficult in winter!" ”

Then Tang Xidong talked about the situation of the cottage, and he didn't expect the old man in front of him to help anything.

Han Yi was silent and thoughtful, and he felt the pressure on the young scholar in front of him.

"When it comes to food, the little old man can really help." After being silent for a long time, Han Yi spoke.

Tang Xidong raised his head suddenly, with surprise on his face and a hint of doubt.

"Now Luoliang Mountain is facing a shortage of food, the temporary solution is naturally to purchase food, just now the little brother also said, the cottage still has some savings, so as long as you can find a way to buy food outside, you can naturally solve the urgent need." Han Yi said, Tang Xidong nodded, this is the problem he is facing now, he has money but can't buy food, one is that he doesn't have a caravan, and the other is that he doesn't sell food.

The caravan can also be formed by itself, but it is really not possible, and it is operated by itself. But not being able to find a big grain merchant is the biggest problem.

"Xiao Lao'er was an official in Beijing before, and his disciples got acquainted with Jin merchants, and now the war in the north of Luoliang Mountain continues to be impassable, and the lack of grain in the north is even worse, and to the south, there is a big city of Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou waterway access, business road prosperity, Jin merchants hoard heavy grain there, I can let my subordinates accompany me to introduce Jin merchants, I believe that food can be purchased." After Han Yi finished speaking, he coughed loudly again, the old man was short of breath, and he said such a long sentence in one breath, which caused him to feel unwell, and Jia Huaizhong hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his back.

When Tang Xidong heard this, he had all kinds of thoughts in his heart.

This is the first time that the old man on the other side has revealed his identity, although it is only a trivial matter, but Tang Xidong can also think that the other party must have a high official position before.

Think again, Jin Shang? was a little hesitant, at this time, Jin Shang could play a disgraceful role, and when he had a relationship with Jin Shang, there was always something awkward in his heart.

But when I think about it, I think about what I did, and as long as I can buy food, everything else is a trivial matter.

This old man has a relationship with Jin merchants, could it be the so-called collusion between officials and businessmen? It doesn't seem to be a good official, but the other party's concern for the homeless people doesn't look like a fraud.

Tang Xidong thought about it for a while, and he didn't bother anymore, he didn't do his own business, and took advantage of the old man's relationship to solve the problem first.

So, his face was full of joy and he was grateful: "If you can buy food, then the old man's merit is immeasurable, and I will thank Mr. for more than 7,000 people up and down this Luoliang Mountain." ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply, and Han Yi waved his hand again and again.

The problem of food has come to an eyebrow, and the pressure in Tang Xidong's heart has relaxed slightly.

So he chatted with Han Yi and found that the other party's knowledge and insight were unfathomable, and his grasp of the entire social situation of the Ming Dynasty was extremely extraordinary, Tang Xidong couldn't help but think in his heart, if the old man could stay in the cottage, then relying on the old man's old knowledge and his own grasp of the Ming Dynasty's national situation, he would have a little more confidence and certainty in stealing peace in this troubled world.
