"The prince is indeed a little impatient." Feng Xiaoyue took the tea coldly, opened the lid of the tea and looked at Murong Lin faintly. "But the plants in my greenhouse need to be very patient to grow well, like Shizi, it's better not to step into it again."

Although Murong Lin was a little unhappy about Feng Xiaoyue's rejection of him, fortunately, her anger was not so strong, and Murong Lin had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, I'm not going." Feng Xiaoyue retracted her gaze, blew on the tea, and took a sip.

It's cold here, and it's already cold in early autumn, so it's very necessary to seal Xiaoyue's greenhouse. After growing for a few months, it is almost late autumn, and the crops in Feng Xiaoyue's greenhouse are slowly maturing.

Feng Xiaoyue came to the greenhouse to check, and the golden color on the corn stalk was particularly brilliant. The green buds and leaves tightly protected the fruits inside, and the stalks of several clusters of corn could not be straightened, and there was a heavy joy in the greenhouse.

"Madam, our harvest is particularly good, looking at this posture, I'm afraid there should be hundreds of catties anyway." The uncle who guarded the greenhouse was also happy, "I've lived so old, and I've never seen so much fruit on the corn stalks." ”

"It's cold outside, the corn ripens late, and most of them freeze and die halfway through. I just gave them the temperature to keep it under control, so they could grow so much. Feng Xiaoyue smiled slightly, "But the grain you grow outside is all boiled too cold, and it tastes better." ”

"No matter how delicious it is, it's more important to save your life." The uncle sighed, "The harvest is not good, the big guy can't eat enough all year round, and there are so many heavy taxes, only life is getting more and more difficult day by day." ”

Feng Xiaoyue lowered her eyes, and she could also have some understanding of these things that had frozen bones on the road.

"It's even more pitiful this year, I'm afraid that many people will starve to death." The uncle shook his head, Feng Xiaoyue listened, and was also very worried, "What, has something happened this year?" ”

The uncle glanced at Feng Xiaoyue, as if he had just remembered, and nodded: "Oh yes, Madame has been in the mansion, or she is busy here, how do you know what is going on outside." This year, I heard that the harvest in several nearby places was not good, and the grain that was finally planted did not know where a burst of evil phoenixes blew up, and a lot of locusts emerged, and they ate everything that could be eaten in the field. ”

"Some smart ones have collected it a few days earlier, and they can still have some food at home, but if they don't have any food, they can only pay for it." As the uncle spoke, the corners of his mouth were already deflated. "Like my old man, helping his wife do some small things, life is still smooth, and some families in the same village as me have begun to save straw."

"What is straw for?" Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Some green straws can be drunk as vegetable soup after cooking, just like the bone bran of those millets, all for survival, and they can only be swallowed." Uncle seems to have experienced these things back then, and now when he talks about it, his eyes are moist.

Feng Xiaoyue stroked the browned leaves of the corn, and felt more and more that the food was not easy to come by. "Harvest all the corn in the shed, dry it well, and grind it into flour."

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry." The uncle let out a long breath before slowly coming out of his memories. Picking up the curtain and going out, the uncle came in alone with a bamboo basket.

Feng Xiaoyue guessed that the people here were not available because of this year's food problem, so she asked Xiaoyun to take more money to hire people, and only called a few skinny croppers to help harvest the corn.

The harvested golden corn was spread on the ground, and the eyes of the group of people who helped were full of envy. Feng Xiaoyue was not too surprised by this, after all, in her original world, the minimum harvest of one acre of land could be more than five hundred catties.

On the way back, Feng Xiaoyue deliberately passed by those places where crops were planted, and the fields that were once green and lush were now yellow, revealing the dry soil underneath. After standing for a few moments, dozens of locusts were scurrying around.

On the carriage, Feng Xiaoyue closed her eyes to recuperate, Xiaoyun saw her with a sad face, so she had to comfort: "Miss, this is a natural disaster, and it is difficult for anyone to avoid it." Those villagers have lived here for so long, I am afraid that they have already made preparations. ”

"Xiaoyun, has your original home also encountered this kind of natural disaster?" Feng Xiaoyue opened her eyes slightly.

Xiaoyun shook his feet, "Xiaoyun has been in the house since he was sensible, and he doesn't know who his family is or where his hometown is." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to expose your scars." When Feng Xiaoyue heard this, she took Xiaoyun's hand with self-blame, but Xiaoyun smiled: "It's okay Miss, Xiaoyun is very blessed to be by Miss's side now." ”

Feng Xiaoyue smiled weakly: I'm afraid that because life is difficult, your family will send you to be a maid at such a young age.

Back at the Junzi Academy, Feng Xiaoyue heard that Murong Lin was called by Murong Yu to discuss things, and she thought about it in her heart, afraid that it was because of this locust plague.

Before Feng Xiaoyue's corn was dried, there were already many shops selling grain in the city. Shops took advantage of this opportunity to raise prices, and most of the food prices were so high that many could not afford them, so they could only stare outside.

Feng Xiaoyue's heart was on fire when she saw it, and she didn't ask the uncle to grind them into powder, but directly put them all in a sack and took them out to sell. Due to the lower price of Feng Xiaoyue's grain, those shops were out of business in an instant.

The shop owner stood on the street corner, and it turned out that he was the outsider who was looking for Feng Xiaoyue to buy flowers. The surname of the staff is Qi, and he should have moved here not long ago, and I don't know what means he used, but his family has the most food in the city. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, but he didn't expect to come out halfway to Feng Xiaoyue. At this time, the Qi family and Feng Xiaoyue's Liangzi are all completely concluded.

Feng Xiaoyue didn't have much food in her hands, so she had to sell a part of it tomorrow. When Murong Yu was thinking about how to solve this famine, he suddenly heard that someone in the city was selling grain at a low price, and he couldn't help but come out to see it in person.

The uncle who sold grain didn't recognize Murong Yu, thinking that it was just a big family, so he called Feng Xiaoyue over.

"It turned out to be you." Murong Yu sighed, "Do you still have food, am I willing to buy it all?" ”

"I've seen my father." Feng Xiaoyue saluted lightly, "Father forgives me, Xiaoyue can't sell you grain." ”

"Why is that?" Murong Yu was puzzled, Feng Xiaoyue saw that he was not angry, and said slowly: "Because I only have so much food in my hands, after selling it to my father, my father will send it to everyone, and when it is finished, Xiaoyue will have no food in his hands." ”

Murong Yu nodded, "That's the same thing." He put it on hold for the time being, and asked Feng Xiaoyue to sell a little bit every day according to her plan, and Murong Yu would find another way.

It's just that this matter reached Murong Lin's ears, and it changed a little. Murong Lin mistakenly thought that Feng Xiaoyue directly rejected Murong Yu, so he sent someone to investigate the reason, but when the investigation results came out, Murong Lin actually learned that Feng Xiaoyue and Murong Xi had a closer relationship, and he lost his temper in the room.

The sale of grain, Feng Xiaoyue handed it all over to the uncle, and she took the time to find a suitable field outside and prepared to buy it together. When he was looking at the ground, Murong Lin, who was angry, came over.

"Why don't you promise my father?" Murong Lin stood still and breathed a sigh of relief first. Feng Xiaoyue glanced at him, "The reason, I have already said it." ”

"What's the reason, you are friendly with King Han, so you want to help him succeed, right?" Murong Lin snorted coldly, and Feng Xiaoyue suddenly felt that he was a little inexplicable, "What does this matter have to do with him?" ”

"Whether it has anything to do with it or not, you know it in your heart." Murong Lin turned his back angrily, and Feng Xiaoyue simply laughed angrily, "The prince has a lot to say clearly, so there is no need to beat around the bush so much." I still have something to do, so I won't accompany me. ”

After that, she did go away. Murong Lin was still standing in place, the little guy next to him shouted evil, and while he was frightened, he went up to report the matter, Murong Lin listened with a bad face, and did not chase Feng Xiaoyue, and went straight back.

Feng Xiaoyue was so angry with him that she almost lost the idea of buying land. After looking at this field, Feng Xiaoyue found the owner of this land and discussed how to buy and sell.

And the landlord's family, when they saw Murong Lin standing with some officials and Feng Xiaoyue, they thought that they were protecting each other and wanted to seize the land, so they immediately knelt down.

"Madam, this year's harvest is not good, our family is only counting on this land to live, if you take it, then our family will have to drink the northwest wind."

Feng Xiaoyue was taken aback by his big reaction, and it was not good to forcibly explain to him to take the land, so she had to call people up helplessly: "If you don't want to, forget it, I'll go and see elsewhere." ”

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am." The family breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them again and again.

Feng Xiaoyue held her breath and went to inquire elsewhere as if she was resigned to her fate.

Originally, this incident was just a small misunderstanding, but when it was heard by someone with a heart, it didn't go like that. Because Feng Xiaoyue sold grain at a low price, which affected his own business, Qi Yuanwai specially asked someone to publicize the matter, saying that Feng Xiaoyue wanted to occupy people's land and oppress the people.

There are also people outside the city who don't know what Feng Xiaoyue has done, and they have no rice at home, so they only count on a few acres of thin fields, which can be sold for some food. When they heard that Feng Xiaoyue was going to forcibly occupy the land, they were all indignant, as long as they saw Feng Xiaoyue coming, they stood away and insulted and threatened, and smashed small stones at them.

"Why are you so unreasonable, how have we offended you."

Xiaoyun couldn't help but scold, but she just protected Feng Xiaoyue again, and Feng Xiaoyue would inevitably get some things on her body.

"Guys, we're just here to buy land."

But how could the crazy villagers listen to her explanation, and the things that should be used to send off guests, all the same thing that should be used to send off guests. Feng Xiaoyue had no choice but to give up the matter of buying land.
