Chapter 184: The Smart Man (Three Watches)

Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

When Brother Shen heard her say this, he was also a little anxious.

"What do you say? I listen to you. ”

"We can't plant much land, and it's a drought, so we won't be able to plant this year. We can only eat by hand. ”

Wang Yuanniang is a very thoughtful woman, and her brain turns fast.

Brother Shen followed her and worried, "But the owners have begun to reduce production, and we can't leave Fugui Villa, so we still have to work every day." In addition to working for the owner to earn money, where else can we make money by craft? ”

Wang Yuanniang is also worried about this matter.

Both of them rely on Fugui Villa to eat.

Once Nirvana falls into crisis, the lives of the two will be affected.

Whether it is a drought or a flood, people have to eat.

If you have to have food for food, you have to spend money to buy grain if the grain production in the fields is reduced.

There are few ways to make money, which makes people worry!

Wang Yuanniang thought for a while and said, "Save food first." Eat smaller meals later. ”

Brother Shen had no opinion, and nodded, "Listen to you." ”

Wang Yuanniang said again: "I'll go talk to the guys from Four Seasons Cloth Village and ask him about the specific situation." If the price is right, save a little more cloth. ”

"What do you do with cloth? There are clothes to wear at home. Brother Shen was a little confused.

Wang Yuanniang gave him a blank look, "I'm worried about the price of cloth, and if there is an accident at the end of the year, the cloth can be exchanged for some food." ”

"Will the price of cloth go up?"

Wang Yuanniang said: "I remember when I was a child, I was about seven or eight years old, and it was also a big drought. That winter, the family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, and everyone starved to death. It was my mother who took out half of the cloth she used to marry when she got married and exchanged it for food, and our family survived.

I still remember that my father and my mother talked to me and said that not only the price of food had risen, but everything else had risen, and that cloth was more than twice as expensive as before. Fortunately, half a piece of cloth was saved and was not willing to use it, so that it could be exchanged for food. ”

"Then listen to you, save some cloth for emergencies. Even if the price of cloth does not increase at the end of the year, it can still be used to make clothes. ”

Wang Yuanniang is illiterate, but she can arrange things one by one clearly.

She felt that she should not only save some cloth to keep at home, but also save a little sauce and pickles, and save a little brown sugar.

In case all of these go up in price, it will cost you more money to buy them later.

She also decided to wait for her father to come to the market, and carefully ask about the drought situation that year, whether the price of everything really increased?

Brother Shen reminded her, "Don't save too many things." Maybe it will rain tomorrow. ”

"I see it difficult! From the Chinese New Year to the present, not a drop of rain has fallen. This kind of weather will be dry for at least the whole year. ”

Brother Shen laughed at her, "Are you so experienced?" ”

Wang Yuanniang pursed her lips and smiled, "I have a habit, I like to remember the time." Moreover, I have a good memory. ”

If she had ever read, she would have been a wonderful woman.

Brother Shen nodded again and again, in approval.

Yuan Niang's memory is indeed good.

It's not enough spiritually, at least not as good as him.

In the handicraft area, there are hundreds of people in the workshop, if he recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the first.

Craftsmanship, his spiritual talent, the masters say that no one can beat it.

However, without the craft, he is just mediocre in other aspects.

Wang Yuanniang is different, she is more top-notch in all aspects.

She is the eldest daughter, she is responsible, she must be strong in everything, she is top-notch everywhere, and her brain is very smart.

It's just a pity that I haven't read a book, and I haven't had the opportunity to touch the words of books.

Wang Yuanniang decided to do a little manual work after work every day.

Brother Shen weaves bamboo products and does carpentry work.

He is a good craftman and can sell to grocery stores in the north and south.

The North and South grocery stores buy a variety of handicrafts all year round. It's just that the requirements are relatively high, and the general handicrafts, the north and south grocery stores are not eye-catching at all.

Brother Shen didn't have to pick his skills, and he was not afraid that the north and south grocery stores would not accept his goods.

Wang Yuanniang received a job from Four Seasons Cloth Village to play soles.

She exchanged grain for cotton cloth, and the shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Cloth Village was willing to give her a job of making shoe soles.

The shopkeeper said: "All the needlework in our cloth village is done by the master master of the capital himself. The workmanship is fine, and it is absolutely incomparable. However, if you are not tired, you can do it. We make rags and rice milk, and you work, are you willing? ”

Wang Yuanniang didn't think about it, and nodded directly.

She was afraid that if it was too late, the job would be snatched away by others.

In this way, both husband and wife have two incomes.

A share of income from the textile workshop.

After getting off work, Brother Shen was busy doing manual work, and she was busy playing the soles of her shoes.

The husband and wife, the husband and the wife are also happy.

……

As the drought continued, the atmosphere began to get a little tense.

In the final analysis, in the entire Fugui Villa, more than ninety percent of the people are watching the sky to eat.

In particular, the homeless people and rural farmers who rent their fields for farming have gray hair at the thought of the drought and the reduction of grain production.

The only thing to be thankful for is that they met a proprietor with a conscience and vision.

Water for farming can be guaranteed for the time being.

The owner did not prohibit everyone from diverting water from the pond to irrigate the fields, which made the nervous people breathe a sigh of relief.

I'm afraid of encountering the kind of proprietor who wants everyone to go bankrupt, and even though there is water in the pond, the tenants are not allowed to take it.

Seeing the fields dry and the crops die, people are desperate!

More and more people are coming to Nirvana Villa.

There are displaced people, and there are surrounding villagers.

Yan Suiru was facing the enemy and ordered the guards to work in three shifts to ensure the order and safety of the villa.

At the same time, organize the manpower, put up the fence and fence,

Try to isolate some restless people outside the lodge.

There is also a wariness of people who enter the mountain villa to do business.

There are three roads leading to the outside, all of which have set up checkpoints.

Familiar faces, fortunately, can basically pass smoothly.

The guards were extra vigilant about the fresh faces, and they always had to inquire before they were allowed to go.

The peddlers and pawns, and many merchants, naturally have a lot of complaints.

But for the sake of the safety of the lodge, it must be carried out.

When the merchants learned that the textile mill had stopped shipping in large quantities, they were even more disgruntled.

They came from afar, because they heard that the cloth in Nirvana was of good quality, the price was fair, and the road was not too far, so they could save a sum of freight, so they would go to Nirvana to pull goods.

As a result, when the people arrived, the villa told them that they would suspend bulk shipments and only ship small quantities.

"How much is a small shipment?"

"Less than 10 horses is considered a small amount of shipments. More than 10 horses, not shipped. ”

"Ten horses? Is it called Hanako? We came all the way and gave only ten pieces of cloth, which was not enough to stuff our teeth. ”

"This is the rule, if you can accept it, you can accept it, and if you can't accept it, we can't help it."

"What do you think of the owner of Fugui Villa, you don't want to make money when you come to the business, is it disgusting to make money?"

"I'm afraid it's not that I dislike money, but I want to sit on the ground and start the price."

"Profiteers!"

"This year's drought will definitely affect the harvest. The owner of Nirvana responded quickly enough, and this was the first year to start hoarding cloth. I was not afraid that a rainstorm would come tomorrow to alleviate the drought, and all the cloth hoarded in the warehouse was smashed in my hands. ”

"Fugui Villa has a thick foundation, a large background, and a small amount of cloth, even if it is smashed in your hands, you can afford it. And as long as Nirvana Villa is willing to reduce the price of cloth, he is not afraid to smash it in his hands. ”

"It's because I dare to do this because I am full of confidence."

The merchants were all depressed.

As a result, another village was brightened.

Nirvana refused to ship, but Four Seasons Cloth Village shipped normally, and the price was only a little higher than the shipping price of the Villa Textile Workshop.

"A little higher is a little higher. This year, the weather is bad, and the cloth will definitely be sold for a price when it is shipped back. Anyway, there will be no loss. ”

"It's hard to come here, but you can't go home empty-handed. I have to pull some goods back. ”

"It makes sense."

These merchants may not have strong financial resources, but they are better than the strength of the people.

They banded together to lower the price of the Four Seasons Cloth Village, and finally talked about a price that was satisfactory to both parties.

Then, this group of merchants swept away the cloth of the Four Seasons Cloth Village.

Even the cheapest linen cloth was not spared.

The Four Seasons Cloth Village, which used to be full of four seasons, suddenly became empty, which made people very unaccustomed to it.

The merchants bought the goods, fearing that they would have a long night and many dreams, so they left before dawn the next day.

The movement of this group of people was not small, which attracted the attention of other peddlers' pawns.

ran to the Four Seasons Cloth Village to see that MMP and cloth were all bought up by those bastards.

So, a group of vendors went to the North and South grocery stores and bought more pickles, sauces, soy sauces, and so on......

This trend has even spread to the group of displaced people.

Everyone has a herd heart.

You went to rush to buy, and he also ran to rush to buy, making the north and south grocery stores into vegetable markets, and people were crowded.

Yan Sui found Yan Yunge, "Girl, the situation is a little wrong!" ”

Yan Yunge said: "Since the situation is wrong, let's find a way to control the situation." ”

"Please give the girl advice, I can't think of any good way for a while."

Yan Yunge said casually: "Purchase limit!" Limited purchase per person. In the next few days, if the drought continues, even the daily water used by people and livestock and agricultural water will have to be limited. Prepare early, this year will definitely be tougher than previous years.

Tell the guards below that the safety issue must not be relaxed. The more this happens, the more likely it is to have an accident. If nothing happens, it will be a big deal. With so many people living in the mountain village, once something happens, it's scary just to think about it. ”

Tens of thousands!

Once there is a disturbance, it is impossible not to die.

If you don't die one hundred and eighty people, things can't be suppressed.

Yan Sui was also too nervous.

He used tough measures to implement purchase restrictions.

We must not allow the rush to spread.

He didn't even welcome those strange merchants into the mountain villa to trade, because he was worried that something would happen.

The atmosphere was slightly tense.

Some people are ready to move, and some people are in peace.

Others plan ahead and hoard supplies little by little.

Yan Yunge decisively revised this year's goals.

Reduce the number of acres of wasteland.

This year, there is no rush to open up the wasteland, and the existing farmland yield will be ensured first.

At the same time, she sent people from Shaofu, from the household department, and from the major grain stores to buy a large amount of old grain and hoard, so as to be prepared.

This year's drought is best mitigated.

If it can't be alleviated, these old grains bought at low prices are life-saving food.
