"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Chen Minghui really doesn't understand, to say that Wu Fanhui forgave the He family, this can barely be explained, but the number of prisoners, Wu Fanhui actually gave it to the Wang family, and did not let the Wu family send students to the capital Guozijian to study, although the imperial court stipulates that only the students can study, but over the years, both proliferation and epiphytes can enter the Guozijian to study, as long as the Fuzhou County Yamen is willing, no one will say much, but when he asked Wu Fanhui why he didn't let the Wu family members go to the capital Guozijian Why, Wu Fanhui said this.

"Brother Qianjue, I understand what you mean, but the qualifications of this prisoner are difficult to obtain."

"Brother Wen, does it work to give easy things to others?"

Wu Fanhui's answer, the choked Chen Minghui was speechless again.

"Don't talk about these things, it's the Spring Festival soon, we plan to set off on the fifth day of the first month, and it is estimated that we will be able to arrive in the capital in early February, so as not to miss Brother Changhong to enter the country to study."

Time to the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, this day of the New Year, is the time to clean the family and send away the stove prince, but also the beginning of the official entry into the New Year's overture, there is a good saying, long and short work, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is full of work.

On this day, Wu Fanhui did not go to Ma'anshan Village and stayed at home, and Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi also came to his house.

Xiao Nian's wine and food have been prepared, because it is a family banquet, and because there are not many people, Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei are eating together, Wang Baofu also eats together, as for Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin and others, they have to accompany the lady to eat.

Everyone had just sat down in the hall, Wu Qingchao, Wang Hecui, Wu Mingli, Wu Mingfang, Chen Minghui, Ye Kaiyi, Li Jiacui, Li Jingfei, Wang Baofu and Wu Fanhui were just a big table.

The knock on the door actually sounded, who would come to visit during the New Year, this is not in line with common sense, the New Year is also a time for family reunions, and they should not visit other people's homes, and Wu Fanhui's identity is different, even if he thinks about the person who comes to visit, he must say hello in advance.

Wang Baofu quickly got up and went to open the door.

Seeing the person standing at the door, Li Jingfei couldn't help but shrink up.

Standing at the door was Yan Qi, the teacher of the Wu Academy.

Wu's School will have spring break around 20 months, and it will not continue to be taught until the beginning of February next year, it is said that Yan Qi should have returned to Peach Blossom Town, and Yan Qi is a teacher in Wu's School, and his income is also very good, and there is no problem in supporting his family.

Wu Fanhui hurriedly stood up, and at this moment, Yan Qi also entered the courtyard.

"Mr. Guo, it's better to come early than to come at a good time, the family banquet is just on the table, please take a seat."

Yan Qi was a little hesitant, but Wu Fanhui had already pulled him into the seat, and Li Jiacui had already added chairs and chopsticks.

The meal lasted about half an hour.

When Li Jiacui and the others began to remove the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Yan Qi spoke to Wu Fanhui in a low voice.

"Qian Jue, I have something I want to ask you, can you say it alone."

Wu Fanhui took Guo Yanqi to his room, followed by Wang Baofu, made tea for Guo Yanqi, exited, and closed the door.

Yan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat drops from his forehead.

"This, I was embarrassed to speak, but the situation in Peach Blossom Town is really not good, after the school holiday, I was going to go back, but my nephew came to the county seat and told me that many people in the village really can't survive."

Wu Fanhui looked at Yan Qi, did not speak for the time being, the famine in Mizhi County has reached its peak, the county government on the population of Mizhi County, Chongzhen was more than 30,000 people in the first year, to Chongzhen in the second year, or more than 30,000 people, Chongzhen is still more than 30,000 people in the third year, this is actually a big joke, according to Wu Fanhui's prediction, the remaining population of Mizhi County is estimated to be less than 10,000 people, that is, less than one-third of the first year of Chongzhen, starvation to death, defection to the Liukou, countless people who have become homeless, the county government is not able to count at all, I don't dare to really count it, although the imperial court exempted Yan'an Mansion from taxes for the whole year, but this has no effect, and the people who have no food to eat are still waiting for death.

Shilipu and Taohua Town belong to one of the villages and towns with the best conditions in Mizhi County, if Taohua Town can't bear it, it means that the villages and towns in Mizhi County are almost completely finished.

"Qian Jue, I also know that it is not very appropriate to say this, I wonder if I can let some people go to Ma'anshan Village...

Wu Fanhui's face was expressionless.

He is not a savior, he is not able to solve the problem of famine in Mizhi County, this should be a matter for the court and the government to consider, in fact, there is food in the treasury of the county government, which can be taken out to relieve the victims, but unfortunately no one dares to touch these grains, including the prefect and governor, do not dare to express their position at will, only when the court nods, the local government dares to take out food relief from the treasury.

If he hadn't been cornered, Yan Qi wouldn't have spoken at this time.

Ma'anshan Village does have a lot of money and a lot of grain, but as time goes by, the grain saved is not very much, the scale of 400 people needs about 80 stone of grain per month, although some grain is purchased from the county seat, but the rest of the grain is only about 600 stone.

Grain is a lifeline, no matter what time can not be missing, Wu Fanhui's hope, pinned on the harvest of the coming year, winter wheat has been sown, it depends on the spring harvest.

If Ma'anshan Village suddenly increases a large number of people, it will not be able to afford it, and Wu Fanhui has also thought about recruiting some people to let all the more than 180 nursing homes be withdrawn and no longer engage in farming, but this will take time, at least after the winter wheat harvest, not now.

"Mr. Guo, how many people are left in Peach Blossom Town."

"There should be less than a thousand people who can move around and work."

Wu Fanhui's body trembled slightly, it was less than a thousand people, which he didn't expect.

"Since the beginning of the first month, there have been a large number of farmers who have become homeless, a large number of people have left, many people have starved to death, I heard that there are also many people who have gone to the homeless, those who stay at home are honest, the bark in the town has been eaten, there is really nothing to eat, if there is no relief, Peach Blossom Town is afraid that it will not exist. . . ."

"Sir should have gone home and seen it."

"After the township test, I went back for a few days, and I couldn't bear to look at it, I couldn't imagine that the famine was so serious."

"Sir predicts how many people will be left in Peach Blossom Town."

"According to my estimates, I'm afraid there are less than five hundred people, and almost all of them are young and strong, and the old and weak have already starved to death. . . ."

"Don't the elders and Li Zheng of Peach Blossom Town care?"

Yan Qi's face showed a wry smile.

"Qian Jue, you also know, back then, the Guo family harmed the Wu family, which caused a huge shock, although the patriarch did not investigate, but the impact on Peach Blossom Town is still very great, the elders and Li Zheng are too late to protect themselves, where can they take care of the affairs in the villages and towns, in the past two years, no one in the villages and towns is in charge, at the beginning the bandits often go to the villages and towns to loot, this year the bandits are too lazy to go...

Wu Fanhui fell into deep thought.

This is the first time he has encountered such a thing, and maybe it is his thought that he can save many people.

However, the reality makes him embarrassed, if Ma'anshan Village accepts the Zhuang family in Taohua Town, then the pressure will increase suddenly, and the consumption will also increase on a large scale.

But after all, what Yan Qi said is nearly 500 living lives, abandoning these people, Wu Fanhui will have a troubled conscience for the rest of his life, no matter what status he has in the future, he will think of these nearly 500 people.

Wu Fanhui looked at Yan Qi, and gradually became angry, it was Yan Qi who talked about these things, otherwise he wouldn't worry about it at all, Yan'an and even Shaanxi were caught in a large-scale famine, how much ability did he Wu Fanhui have, and how many people he could save, and he had to do things according to his ability, otherwise he would follow in.

Suddenly, Wu Fanhui thought of something.

"Sir, your family doesn't matter."

"Don't starve to death, I work as a tutor in the school, and those bandits also know, they don't dare to come to my house."

Wu Fanhui nodded slightly, this is true, most of the bandits are locals, and they will never dare to provoke powerful families, they know that if they do that, what they are waiting for is the end of being completely exterminated.

"It seems that Mr. Guo is really worried about the people of Peach Blossom Town."

"I don't dare to say that, it's all from the villagers, I can't help it when I see everyone starving to death, I'm just a teacher in the school, and it's hard to feed my family, let alone help others."

Wu Fanhui sighed.

"Sir's nephew is still in the county seat."

"It's still in the county seat."

"Call him later, and I'll ask for details."

Yan Qi immediately had a smile on his face, and Wang Baofu quickly entered the room.

"Wang Baofu, you go to the village immediately, tell Li Yong, Dai Nengxiang and others, and ask them to calculate how many people Ma'anshan Village can still accommodate within today, and you tell them, just say what I said, all the nursing homes, from now on, will not participate in farming, and concentrate on training."

After Wang Baofu left, Wu Fanhui fell into deep thought.

Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi knocked on the door to enter, and he didn't pay special attention.

The two asked what was the matter, and Wu Fanhui said it casually.

This time, Chen Minghui jumped up.

"Qian Jue, close to five hundred people, you can accommodate them, you must know that these are hungry people."

Ye Kaiyi was also incomprehensible.

"Qian Jue, what Brother Wen said is yes, this is five hundred people, if you go to Ma'anshan Village, you won't leave for a while."

"What Brother Changhong said is that it is the government's business to help the people, if you make a move, you will be able to bear it for a while and a half, how can you bear it after a long time."

Wu Fanhui sighed, he didn't make a final decision, you must know that once the decision to accept is made, his pressure will increase exponentially, and it will be unbearable, I am afraid that Wu Mianqing will not agree.
