Su Tiancheng's heart is still a little worried, whether he will encounter a famine next year, and whether the tenants of the Su family will be able to say goodbye to the days of hunger and cold, mainly depends on whether they can successfully transport back sweet potato seeds. If you can't bring back sweet potato seeds, tenants still have to sow spring wheat, the yield of this wheat is too low, before the crossing, Su Tiancheng was born in the south, almost no one in the local area grows wheat, so he is not very familiar with the planting technology of wheat, that is, after participating in the work for many years, the focus is also to understand the planting of rice and corn, the yield per mu of wheat is not as good as rice, it will be like that after hundreds of years, not to mention now, plus the climate of Shanxi, compared with the south, resulting in lower grain production.

"I heard that the little son from Su Mansion sent grain and salt to the tenants......"

"I've seen it all, it's true, and that's not all, even the seeds have been sent......"

"The little boy of Su Mansion seems to be a student, is it that he has read too many books and lost his mind......

"Hmph, I don't think it's crazy, it's really something wrong with the head, the lord and wife of Su Mansion went to Taiyuan Mansion City, this little boy raised his eyebrows, I don't know what Lu Dao is doing......"

The news that Su Tiancheng distributed wheat flour, coarse salt and seeds to the tenants spread in the city, and all kinds of discussions appeared, with mixed reviews, most of them saying that Su Tiancheng had something wrong with his head, how to do such a stupid thing, the harvest was not good for several years, and the big families, who didn't want to save more grain, this kid was good, and distributed grain to the tenants.

There are also those who say that it is good, the tenants have suffered a disaster, there is no food, they can't live, and the little prince of Sufu has a bodhisattva's heart.

The big families in Pingyang Mansion City were a little annoyed, Su Tiancheng did this, wouldn't it slap them in the face, but the little son of the Su family is a scholar, no matter what, they are all students, besides, the Su family's business has basically moved to Taiyuan Mansion City, if these big families are working against a student who has never done business, they can't resist the influence of public opinion.

Of course, there are already people who have specially brought a letter to Su Huawen, and the implication is that the little boy of Su Mansion is messing around.

All the discussions, Su Tiancheng knew what Lu Dao did, he didn't care at all, these big households, rat-eyed, extremely selfish, really in the year of famine, they knew what Lu Dao did for Lu.

Su Jun is about to set off, this is what Su Tiancheng is thinking about, for two days, he seems to be thinking, more than 500 stone of sweet potato seeds, 100,000 catties, even if it is transported to Pingyang Fucheng, Shanxi, it is not a simple matter, if it is pulled by a carriage, the southwest horse can pull 800 catties to 1000 catties, and more than 100 carriages are needed. It is best to use an ox cart, which can be pulled to more than 1500 catties, and more than 60 ox carts can be used, although the speed is much slower, it is not very conspicuous.

In any case, so many ox carts need to be guarded, which is like a child with a gold ingot in his hand, walking on the street, there are no adults around, I don't know how many people in the road are red-eyed, and finally snatch the gold ingots.

Su Tiancheng was very distressed, but he had no choice, who called himself reborn in the Ming Dynasty, who called the sweet potato Wanli to come to China, it is impossible for Pingyang Fucheng to have sweet potato seeds, not to mention Pingyang Fucheng, there are no sweet potato seeds in the north.

The danger does exist, and the more Su Tiancheng thinks about it, the more he feels that it is a very risky thing to purchase sweet potato seeds.

It has been more than ten days since he returned to Pingyang Mansion, Su Tiancheng has not gone out, except for going to the suburbs twice, he has always stayed in the mansion, and he has not even had the heart to go around the street, he needs to gradually adapt to the current life, and he needs to think about what to do in the future.

Su Pingyang hurriedly came in.

"Young master, someone outside claims to be an old beggar, saying that he has a relationship with the young master."

Su Tiancheng quickly stood up, and Su Ertong's eyes widened.

"Uncle, please come in, no, I will personally go to the door to greet you, Ertong, tell the kitchen, prepare a few good dishes, especially two jars of good wine."

Su Pingyang is very strange, the old man outside the mansion is dressed in tatters, and he looks like a beggar, such a person has arrived at the gate of the mansion, according to the previous rules, he sent away the bowl of rice, and he didn't expect the young master to go out to greet him in person.

Su Tiancheng walked out of the mansion and saw the old man standing outside, looking up at the sky, dressed in tatters, but this time there was no smell on his body. But always dressed as a beggar.

Some people around pointed their fingers, probably thinking that this beggar was so arrogant when he came to the Su Mansion to beg for food.

"The younger generation greets the old man."

Su Tiancheng walked quickly in front of the old man, respectfully luggage, not to mention the people around him, even Su Pingyang, they were all shocked, what is wrong with the son, why are you saluting the beggar.

"Ha Luha, Su Gongzi, the old beggar has come to beg for food."

"The old man laughed, the younger generation has always looked forward to seeing the old man again."

"In front of the public, wouldn't it be humiliating for the prince to salute the old beggar."

"The younger generations always remember that the old and the old, and the old, the young, and the young, never dare to forget."

"Ha Luha, well said, it seems that the old beggar is here today, the son is magnificent."

The old man smiled and walked straight into the door, and Su Tiancheng followed respectfully.

"Alas, don't say it, this little son of the Su family is indeed a little interesting, he can treat beggars with such respect, I think this beggar is not simple."

"I also remembered it, the little son of the Su family, gave the tenants grain, coarse salt and seeds, it seems that this little son of the Su family really has a compassionate heart."

"It's strange, I used to see this Su Gongzi often, I blushed when I saw people, I couldn't speak, and my performance was also cringe, I saw it just now, I was very surprised, Su Gongzi's temperament is completely different."

"Well, it's not because of what he did in the house......"

"Shhh

Su Tiancheng invited the old man directly to the wing room.

Su Ertong was already waiting outside the wing, and when he saw the old man, he immediately made tea.

The huge Su Mansion, because there are not many people, seems to be very quiet.

"Master Su, the old beggar heard that you gave grain, coarse salt and seeds to the tenants of the Su family, is there really such a thing, why is this, the old beggar is very curious, and wants to ask."

The old man was not polite, entered the wing, sat down directly, and when he spoke, he had a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"It is true that there are a total of 350 tenant households in Sufu, and this time the younger generation distributed 350 stone wheat flour, 700 catties of coarse salt, and as for the seeds of winter wheat, they were distributed according to the needs of each household. Not only that, before the Spring Festival, the younger generation will also distribute grain, refined salt and meat until May of the next year, after the winter wheat is harvested. ”

"Oh, can you tell me what it is?"

"The younger generation feels that since the tenants have come to the Su Mansion to farm, they naturally need to be fed and clothed, and the younger generations and the tenants are one, if they are not able to eat and clothe, so that they sell their sons and daughters, and even starve to death, not only the face of the Su Mansion is not good-looking, but also the burden on the government.

"Hehe, what I think is good, but in the past two years, Shanxi has been suffering from disasters, and there are difficulties everywhere, you didn't expect that if you continue to be rescued like this, what will you do in the future, how will other big families look at you, how to talk about it."

"The younger generation does their own thing, doesn't care about other people's discussions, these days, there are already people talking about it, the kind of practice as long as the money doesn't want to die, the younger generation does not dare to agree, even if you are rich, but your tenants, sell their sons and daughters, starve to death, this is definitely not a benevolent act, will be punished by God, of course, the younger generation also needs to think of some way, always like this rescue, the younger generation does not have that ability."

"Oh, the old beggar also feels strange, I just want to see if Su Gongzi has any good way, the so-called can be saved for a while, but not for a lifetime."
