While Bai Ling was in full swing of arrangement, Shangguan Yuzi in the capital also received news.

The situation in Zixiao City is special, once the victims riot and the epidemic spreads, no matter what the outcome of the treatment is, there will be people who impeach the Han Palace's improper governance.

If the emperor has the intention to get rid of King An's mansion, he will definitely take advantage of the topic.

After receiving an urgent report from the border pass, Shangguan Yu asked for an order to return to the border pass to fight, even if the emperor had the intention to keep people, he could only let them go.

Han Wangfu.

"The mother concubine knows that the situation is tense, pay attention to safety along the way, and when you get to the border, you can concentrate on the war, so you don't need to worry about the mother concubine." When Princess Han sent Guan Yu away, she said softly.

"The mother concubine should also be careful in Beijing, and if she doesn't like to socialize, she will push it away, and the Han Wangfu never needs the help of the back house." Shangguan Yu didn't lower his voice, and he didn't care that someone would hear it and it would go out.

Glaring at Shangguan Yu with disgust, Princess Han nodded and said, "The mother concubine knows, let's go." ”

Shangguan Yu stepped on the horse, saw the reluctance of Princess Han, felt sorry in his heart, and said: "Next time my father will enter Beijing to face the saint, and the mother concubine will wait for a while." ”

Being ridiculed by her son, Princess Han couldn't help blushing, glared at her son who was teasing her, waved her hand and didn't say much, otherwise Shangguan Yu would not be able to set off today.

Whether it is a son or a husband, Princess Han wants to stay by her side, but she also knows that this is an extravagant hope.

The Han Wangfu has guarded the border for generations, and unless the Han Wangfu does not exist, it cannot leave its post without permission, and the female dependents of the Han Wangfu are destined to be hostages in the capital.

Shangguan Yu beat his horse and left, worried about the situation at the border pass, and also worried about Bai Ling's safety.

When the team marched to Baifu County, Shangguan Yu forcibly resisted the idea of going to see Bai Ling, and instructed Yang Fan: "Haoran, you don't have to go with me this time, go to Nanshan Village to protect the Bai family." If necessary, dark piles can be activated. ”

Yang Fan raised his head suddenly, and after seeing Shangguan Yu's worried expression, he couldn't say anything about refusal.

"Please take care, I will protect the safety of the Bai family." Yang Fan gave up his hand, beat the horse and went in the direction of Wufu Town, without taking anyone with him.

After staring at the direction of Wufu Town for a few seconds, Shangguan Yu's handsome face only had a grim look left, and he quickly marched towards the battlefield.

The Bai family mobilized together, everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the villagers who didn't know it thought that the Bai family had some way to make money.

As soon as Bai Ling had an idea, he let out the wind, and the Bai family wanted to buy a large number of potatoes, the quantity was not limited, and the price was set at two pennies a catty.

But if you want to sell to the Bai family, you must sign a contract in advance, and all potatoes will be sold to the Bai family, otherwise five times the compensation, and the Bai family will teach the greenhouse planting method for free.

The guaranteed yield of potatoes per mu is more than four times that of grain, and it is definitely more cost-effective than growing grain at this price.

For a while, all the villages came to sign the contract, and learned from the Bai family how to build a temporary greenhouse, even if the weather is cold, the potatoes can grow for a while, and the yield will be higher.

However, most of the villagers' fields are planted with wheat, and only a few can be idle.

Those who did not have extra land gathered out of their vegetable gardens at home, and the land that could be found in the upper part could also produce more silver for New Year's goods.

In less than half a month, this wind blew throughout Baifu County, and a craze for planting potatoes arose.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and Bai Ling immediately asked people to buy grain, which was a penny higher than the market price, and people who didn't know said that the Bai family was stupid.

However, the merchants who received the floods in the south regretted that they were not willing to give some blood, which caused the Bai family to rush to the front.

"Sir, madame, girl." After Fu Bo entered the house, he saluted first, wiped his sweat and said: "The victims are pouring into Zidong City, it is said that many more victims are coming, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Baifu County within half a month." ”

"What?" Bai Liu's face changed at the moment, and he was anxious.

"Second girl, how much food do we have in our hands? How many people can be saved? Bai Sanshu asked worriedly.

"Does Fauber know the number of victims?" Bai Ling had already gotten the news, but he still deliberately asked such a sentence.

"It is said that there are at least tens of thousands." Fu Bo sighed: "I heard that the relief food of the imperial court has not been distributed, which has forced the victims to flee all the way to the north, but even if the local governments have done something, they can only accept a small number of people, and they can't accommodate such a large number of disaster victims at all." ”

Because Bai Ling had already given orders, Fu Bo had always been in contact with the outside world, so he could get the news so quickly.

It wasn't until this moment that Fauber understood why Bai Ling had asked him to go out to run errands so frequently recently.

Thinking of this, Fu Bo respected the second girl of the main family even more, and deeply understood the reason why Bai Ling could be the master of the house.

"Fauber, are you ready for the wood you prepared before?" Bai Ling asked.

"Yes, it's all ready." Fauber replied.

"Now there are a few things that Fu Bo needs to do immediately, and the whole county should seize the time to buy potatoes, and if they are not sold to the Bai family within ten days, they will be dealt with as a breach of contract. The potatoes purchased are stored in the village in advance by looking for reliable homes. ”

"In addition, where the timber is stored, we hire local villagers to build wooden houses nearby, which are simpler and can be protected from the wind and cold with straw mats. The coarse cloth used to make greenhouses is also made into cotton curtains by local villagers, which are also kept to protect against the wind and cold. ”

"After the victims entered Baifu County, they were immediately sent to various temporary wooden sheds and distributed to the victims on time and in the right amount together with potatoes. The specific amount, and how it should be distributed, you should ask the person in charge of the purchase to consult directly with the village chief and the people in the village who are highly respected. ”

Bai Ling ordered repeatedly, which showed that he had been prepared for a long time.

Seeing that Fu Bo had written it down, Bai Ling turned to Bai Sanshu and said:

"Dad, you are fully responsible for the affairs of our village. Seeing that the chaos was about to fall, I went to the town first, said hello to the master, asked him to prepare earlier, and let Xiaoshan go home first. In addition, I have to go to the county seat and say hello to the magistrate, after all, the number of victims is too much, and it is far from enough for our Bai family to provide relief. ”

"Mother, the workshop will be left to you and a few sisters. In today's situation, we can only temporarily close the workshop, and it will not be able to operate normally in a short time. The goods that the Duan family can't take away are stored in our newly dug cellar, and they must not be known to outsiders. As for the contract, I will contact the Duan family and discuss it in detail. ”

"Hey, Daddy knows. It's not peaceful outside, you can take more people with you when you go out, you know? Bai Sanshu said uneasily.

"My mother also remembers, you can rest assured. Second girl, what your father said is right, if you don't bring someone, your mother will detain you at home, our family can do this, it is already a great good, and my mother must not put you in. Bai Liu said on the side.

"Okay, I'll listen to my father." Bai Ling smiled lightly, thinking that he would go back and send people out to do errands.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too late, Bai Ling would still want to go to Fucheng.

In the past year, Miao Xuan has secretly attracted some contacts for Bai Ling and established some industries, so she is really not at ease if she doesn't go.

But the situation was like this, and Bai Ling didn't want to go into danger, so he thought about letting his people say hello, so as not to have an accident with Miao Xuan and them.
