Chapter 336: A word wakes up the dreamer
The building was empty overnight, and there were still less than a few thousand people left, all of whom were reluctant to leave or were sick, or they were too old to walk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Most of the people who left were divided into two roads, all the way to Baoding, and the other to the nearest Yejiabao.
Ye Shaolong escorted the little emperor back to Yejiabao, and just arranged his accommodation, but he didn't expect to report it. Outside Yejiabao, a large number of people in the capital suddenly came and asked Yejiabao to take them in.
Ye Shaolong could think with his toes that it was the arrival of those people who were short of food, but he didn't expect their speed to be so fast. didn't say anything immediately, and immediately went to have a look with the tower and Su Can.
On the gatehouse of Yejiabao, Ye Shaolong climbed up and looked over, only to see that the valley was full of surging people, and he couldn't see how many people there were at all.
"Dashuai, what are we going to do? Do you need me to go down and drive them out? The iron tower stepped forward and asked Ye Shaolong for his life.
Ye Shaolong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Wait for now, if there is a riot among so many people, it will inevitably cause big trouble." ”
Su Can also agreed: "Indeed, they are not foreigners, after all, they are all ordinary people of the Qing Dynasty, and we still have to treat them differently." ”
"So what now? If we don't control them, if we let them go on like this, we will surely make them even more emotionally unstable! "The tower already has the experience of being in front of the palace before, so this will be very well analyzed.
Ye Shaolong nodded with a smile and said, "Of course you can't just hang them like this." The order went down to tell them to consciously line up, and then verify the identity of each of them one by one. If anyone dares to make trouble during this period and kill without mercy, only the people who keep to themselves and do not have any identity problems can enter my Yejiabao. ”
"Yes!" The tower didn't say a word, and immediately took the order to go down to do something.
Ye Shaolong immediately asked Steward Zhao to help with the tower, so many people really want to sort it out, and it will definitely not be completed in a day or two. Therefore, we have to get some food to fill the stomachs of these hungry and red-eyed people first.
After giving the order, Ye Shaolong went down the gatehouse on his own and returned to the Ye Mansion.
Ye Shoufu and Tangshan were already waiting in the main hall, and when they saw Ye Shaolong coming back, Ye Shoufu first asked: "How is it outside, there is no riot, right?" ”
Ye Shaolong shook his head and said, "It's stable for the time being, but I don't dare to guarantee it tomorrow, there are still too many people coming." We in Yejiabao may not be able to accommodate everyone. ”
"How's that good?" Tang San frowned, his expression was very worried.
He and Ye Shoufu have already calculated, according to Ye Jiabao's current grain inventory, in addition to ensuring future use. At most, it is already the limit to be able to take in 20,000 to 30,000 people, and if there are more people than the burden of Yejiabao, then Yejiabao will inevitably be unable to protect itself.
Ye Shaolong said helplessly: "There is no good way at present, let's take one step at a time." I'll figure it out again! ”
Seeing this, Ye Shoufu and Tang Shan didn't ask any more, and they also understood that this was a headache. Once it is not handled well, there will be chaos, so he doesn't dare to force Ye Shaolong too much.
After bidding farewell to the second elder, Ye Shaolong went to Tang Feifei alone. It is indeed helpless to ask for food when planting, but fortunately, the grain planted by Yejiabao himself is about to be harvested. This somewhat made Ye Shaolong a little relieved!
Tang Feifei now likes to stay on the balcony on the second floor every day, where there is a rocking chair specially ordered by Ye Shaolong. When she is fine, Tang Feifei likes to lie there in a daze.
As soon as Ye Shaolong walked into the courtyard, Tang Feifei saw it, and immediately beckoned to greet him: "Xianggong, why did you come back so soon." ”
At noon, she heard someone say that the prime minister hurriedly took people to the capital to rescue the emperor. I thought that it would take him two or three days to leave, but I didn't expect that in less than a day, Ye Shaolong would come back.
Ye Shaolong glanced up at Tang Feifei, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I took the emperor back." ”
He didn't intend to let Tang Feifei follow him as well, so Ye Shaolong still had something to hide from her.
entered the building and came to Tang Feifei's side, but he didn't see his son, who was about to be 100 days old, Ye Shaolong asked casually: "Where did you go where did you go?" ”
Tang Feifei stood up from the rocking chair, pulled Ye Shaolong to sit up, and sat on his lap very generously, and said with a smile: "I'm sleeping in the inner room!" ”
Ye Shaolong nodded and stopped talking, his expression was quite melancholy. Tang Feifei was the closest to Ye Shaolong, and any slight changes in him could not escape his eyes.
Feeling that Xianggong was in a bad mood, Tang Feifei suddenly became very docile, gently leaned on Ye Shaolong's arms, and said gently: "What's the matter, Xianggong?" Do you have something on your mind, talk to the lady and help you think of a way. ”
Ye Shaolong was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Tang Feifei to be so sensitive, and he could see through his mind at once. I was still thinking about not bothering her, but now it seems that there is no need for it.
Since there was no need to hide it, Ye Shaolong simply told Tang Feifei what happened in detail. Tang Feifei listened very attentively, and did not interrupt Ye Shaolong in the middle.
It wasn't until Ye Shaolong finished speaking that she frowned and said, "Then now Xianggong is worrying about the lack of food!" ”
"Exactly!"
Ye Shaolong said with a wry smile: "Originally, Yejiabao wanted to develop and grow, and it was a good thing that the people came. But with so many people suddenly pouring in, not only could the small Yejiabao not be able to accommodate it, but the food was not enough at all. It's annoying to buy food outside and not be able to buy food! ”
Tang Feifei didn't say much, but fell into deep thought, and only after a long time did she hear her say: "Xianggong, why don't you arrange those people who came to join them to other places." As for the grain, don't give it to them first, and then arrange for them to go to the wasteland to cultivate, and distribute the grain according to the amount of land cleared by each family. ”
Tang Feifei's meaning is actually obvious, that is, don't look at these people who came to defect with the people in Yejiabao. Instead, they are treated differently, that is, they should not starve to death first, and distribute a little food to them every day to maintain food and clothing.
If you want to have enough to eat, you have to exchange the fruits of your labor, so that you can greatly reduce the cost of food. It is also possible to open up the land and farm as quickly as possible, which is absolutely feasible.
"Whoa!"
Ye Shaolong kissed Tang Feifei's saliva fiercely in surprise, and then laughed and said, "It is worthy of being my smart lady, and she helped Xianggong solve his troubles in a few words." ”
