Chapter 41 Grandfather

"Isn't there food now, it can be sustained for a while for the time being, and then it would be good to send people to nearby towns to buy it. As for these refugees, let's see if there are any young and vigorous people who can be used to fill the army, after all, food is not eaten for nothing. ”

Ye Chongyun looked at his somewhat impetuous second emperor brother, and faintly came up with his own ideas.

"But this is not a long-term solution, sooner or later the food will be eaten up, have you been raising these people?"

Ye Yunxiao looked at his unobtrusive Fifth Emperor Brother with some anxiety, wondering if he was deliberately manipulating him.

"Just raise it this winter, and it's up to them to start spring next year. But when I heard you say that, it occurred to me that if I went to buy food from somewhere else, I might be dragged into the water around me. ”

And what if this winter is very long, what if the drought continues next year?

Ye Chongyun frowned, this matter was indeed difficult to do, he ignored it.

But there is no solution.

"So what do you say?"

"Second Emperor Brother, let me tell you, there is a solution, as long as you"

Ye Chongyun let Ye Yunxiao come closer and whispered something.

Ye Yunxiao frowned at first, and then said.

"I'm afraid this won't be easy, right?" You know, it's an offense.

"It's really not easy to do, but it's your business whether you can do it or not, this time I'm just assisting you, if you can't do it, you can also go back to Beijing to report to your father." Send another person who can do it. ”

Ye Chongyun put on a look, it was none of his business, and he hung high.

was so angry that Ye Yunxiao's teeth itched, and now he felt more and more that Ye Chongyun was deliberately manipulating him, knowing that his father would not let him go, and he impulsively became this stupid sheep.

I thought so, but I said it anyway

"I'll go."

Then he turned and walked out of the room.

Leaving Ye Chongyun alone, drinking tea leisurely.

He just asked the second emperor brother to force those rich officials to donate silver taels, and the more they donate, the better. This kind of offending people, he thinks the second emperor brother is the most suitable.

Whoever asked him to volunteer to come here on his own must have to pay some labor to bear fruit.

He can't just be here, but he can use his brain and make efforts, right?

When the money is ready, we will build a ditch to divert water.

This is a big project, and there are many people who need it, and those who are affected also have work to do, so that they will not starve to death, and when the canal is built, then they will not be afraid of drought.

This is a major project and needs to be escalated. The silver taels of these officials alone are certainly not enough.

And so it passed for three or four days.

"Urgent report" At this time, everyone in the court was silent and lowered their heads.

"Pass it on." The emperor wearing a black dragon robe on the dragon chair looked a little majestic, about thirty or forty years old.

A eunuch took the letter and carefully handed it to the emperor.

The people below the court were cautious, not daring to speak or raise their heads.

After reading the letter, the emperor showed a rare smile in the past few days.

"Good! The letter said that the five princes had thought of a good solution to the drought, which was to build a channel to divert water. "The emperor's face is happy.

"Congratulations to the emperor, you have finally found a solution." The crowd shook their hands and bowed.

"For so many days, you haven't thought of any way. What do you say I want you to do? Usually you have more things to do than anyone else, and when it comes to the critical moment, you don't have anything to say. ”

The emperor looked at the group of courtiers below and scolded them, but he could see that he was in a much better mood.

A group of people confessed their mistakes in fear

"It's useless to wait, please ask the emperor to punish you."

Of course, they are just talking about punishment, because they believe that with so many people, how can the emperor punish them?

"It's a punishment." Unexpectedly, the emperor said with a glare.

Everyone immediately fell silent and lowered their heads.

I only heard the emperor say

"Punish each of you for three months! It was used to build aqueducts. ”

The crowd did not dare to make sense

"The emperor is wise."

"Alright, let's retreat!" Leave with a smile.

In this way, the money was there, the people were there, and soon the plan was implemented.

……

Gu Tingcheng has been very busy recently, and when he heard the news, he began to be a little surprised.

Repair the canal, did you think of a solution so quickly?

She had heard of aqueducts in modern times, and it was indeed the best solution to the drought in ancient times.

In this way, the famine will not be too bad. Although the price of food has risen again recently, as long as they can survive this winter, it should be much better.

Although she also has a way to solve these difficulties.

But after all, she is a little woman, and she doesn't have any great love, so she naturally doesn't want to go to this troubled water.

But now from their solution, it can be seen that this dynasty is not as bad as she imagined, and there are many smart people.

She felt that she should also go out for a walk, otherwise she would be trapped in this small village and have no knowledge at all.

I always think of this place as very poor, backward, and even very ignorant. But in fact, it doesn't seem to be the case.

It's exciting to come to this outside world, right?

She is now reading the account book in the shadow building in the town, it is already winter, and she feels a little cold for everyone who knows martial arts, so she is baking on the stove.

It's been a few days since her movie queen building was officially opened, and the response was not bad, and Qiao Sanniang came to cheer when it opened.

Her snacks here have also made a sign, and now business is booming. The factory has to make a lot of food every day.

Tired is a little tired, but the salary given by Gu Qingcheng is high, and everyone is quite happy to be so tired.

Gu Tingcheng has also lived here for a few days, and after staying for a few days, it is about to celebrate the New Year, so it is better to go back to the village for the New Year, and you can spend it with Old Man Lin.

"Girl, it's time to eat." A woman walked in and shouted Gu Tingcheng, this is her newly bought girl, Gu Tingcheng never thought that this ancient time would be an open and honest buying and selling of people.

Later, when I bought this girl, I learned that it was also important to buy and sell human beings in ancient times, the first time they sold it themselves, and then they no longer belonged to themselves, and they were arranged by others, unless someone with good intentions let them go.

This girl was sold to a rich lady by her mother for the first time.

But I never thought that the lady was a short-tempered person, and she had accidentally made a mistake before, and was sent back to Renyazi by the lady.

It happened to be bought by Gu Tingcheng again.

What Gu Qingcheng thought was that there could be no one in this town to watch, the eldest brother of the Fang family needed to run two ends a day, and she was not often here.

I happened to run into it, so I bought this girl, this girl is called Orchid.

There is also a young man in the store, who is honest and honest, helping to sell things, running away or something.

"Well, let's get down." Because she's in the upstairs room now

Her two-story building is a very special presence in the town as a snack shop.

Unlike the usual pastry shops, which are smaller, she has a large table and a table where you can order tea.

Many young ladies and sons in the town like to come here to chat and have something to eat.

Gu Tingcheng had to sigh, this ancient town had seven or eight streets, crisscrossing them. It's hard to compare to a modern street or two.

……

At noon the next day, Gu Tingcheng was looking at the scenery outside, thinking that the ancients rushed to the market every day? Then came the voice of the orchid.

"Girl, Brother Fang is here, saying that he has something to look for you."

Gu Tingcheng walked down

The eldest brother of the Fang family comes every day, but there is usually nothing wrong, could it be that there is something wrong with the factory?

"Brother Fang, is something wrong?" Gu Qingcheng slowly walked down with the fox in his arms.

"Xiao Qi, your grandfather is here."

"What grandfather?" Gu Qingcheng was a little confused in an instant.

"It's your grandfather, he said he was your grandfather's. I thought your cousin had come before, and he said it was your grandfather, and then I left him in the factory's room, so go back and have a look! ”

"Oh, okay, I'll be back right away, when did he arrive?" Gu Qingcheng smiled, and also reflected that he was the grandfather of this body.

She doesn't have a grandfather in modern times, only a grandmother, but she doesn't interact much, especially after her mother died.

After Gu Qingcheng explained the matter here, he and the eldest brother of the Fang family prepared to go back to Qingshan Village.

Because the eldest brother of the Fang family often runs at both ends, Gu Qingcheng gave him the carriage to use, which can be regarded as an office configuration.

The eldest brother of the Fang family got into the carriage and was about to catch the car.

Allure let the eldest brother of the Fang family sit in the carriage and let the horse run by itself, and she would use her internal force to control it a little.

Because the weather is so cold, the wind blowing outside is not pleasant.

The eldest brother of the Fang family also knew that Gu Qingcheng knew how to do martial arts, and he didn't shirk it.

Soon they returned to the village, but instead of going home, they followed the eldest brother of the Fang family to the factory.

As soon as I got out of the carriage, I ran into an aunt.

"Ah, Xiao Qi is back! Is it cold or not? Get in on the fire. ”

It turned out that they had burned two braziers in the courtyard, thinking that a group of people were sitting on the fire after they were busy.

If you do it for more than ten days, it's time to give them a holiday, after all, it's almost the New Year.

"It's okay, it's not very cold, are you going?" Gu Qingcheng asked with a smile, holding the sleeping little fox in his arms.

"Yes, there is something going on at home, I want to go back, you can rest assured that I have done all my work." The girl was a little embarrassed to explain.

"It's okay, there is something at home, just be busy, you can ask Brother Fang for leave." Gu Qingcheng said gently.

Looking at the beautiful and kind-hearted appearance of Gu Qingcheng's people, that aunt thought to herself, what a living bodhisattva.

Thanks to this person in their village, you must know that the Peach Blossom Village next door is envious, jealous and hateful.

In the past, they always looked down on Qingshan Village, because Qingshan Village was not as rich as them, and the land was relatively poor.

But now? The people in Peach Blossom Village only looked at it with their eyes.

In the past, every time I saw my sister who married into Peach Blossom Village, she was arrogant, but now she is always slapping her.

Gu Tingcheng had already entered the house, and as soon as he finished greeting the people in the courtyard, he saw an old man running out.

He also had a pack of jerky in his hand.

"Little Seventh Sister, he said it was your grandfather, so we didn't dare to stop eating these things." Miss Liu Er explained.

"Oh, it's okay, you guys go get busy first." Gu Qingcheng smiled and said to everyone.

"Girl, you are my granddaughter." The old man stared at Gu Tingcheng with a curious expression, chewing jerky in his mouth, and his speech was slurred, but Gu Tingcheng still heard it clearly.
