Fang Zhi didn't understand much, after all, silver was hard to earn.

Lan Kai understands better, he agrees with Zhu Xiao's approach, but he is afraid that those little beggars will come to guard all day long, all the little beggars in this Wucheng add up, not to mention a thousand, there are always three or five hundred, if you really want to come and guard, unless Mrs. has a golden mountain, otherwise she can't afford to raise these little beggars.

Zhu Xiao walked around the street, and then finished turning Wucheng, many shops on this Wucheng street are closed to sell less food, there are not many food shops, and there are fewer people to buy.

"Lankay!"

"Ma'am?"

"You often walk around the streets, has Wucheng always been like this?"

"......," Lan Kai thought for a moment before saying, "It's almost like this, in fact, many people buy very few houses, and more people are willing to go to the countryside, buy a piece of land in the countryside, and grow crops, and still have food in the autumn, and when you get here, it is very difficult to get out, and if you have land in the countryside, you won't starve to death!" ”

Zhu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is the land in the countryside expensive?" ”

"It's not expensive, one or two pieces of silver can open up three acres of wasteland, if the yamen has a relationship, it can open four acres!"

Zhu Xiao listened to Lan Kai's words and was very surprised.

She still had some silver in her hand, but she wanted to go out and plant wheat so that she could grind flour the following year.

"Lan Kai, what do you say I should do if I go to open dozens of acres of land?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"If Mrs. wants to open up the land, she can ask the third master to think of ideas, open the kind of land that is fertile, and there are mountains and rivers, you can grow fruits and food on the mountain, build a house under the mountain, the county can't live, we can go to the countryside!" Lankay suggested.

Lan Kai's suggestion, Zhu Xiao agreed, but he was reluctant to go to the countryside to live.

I really went to the countryside, got used to a comfortable life, and it was not easy to return to the county seat.

"Then I'll prepare some gifts for a trip to the Hu family another day, and talk about this matter of buying mountains, we can't buy any food!"

When I came back to the house, I saw several little beggars hiding in the alley not far from her house, and it was obvious that she lived here and came to guard her.

Zhu Xiaoben didn't want to pay attention to it, but stopped and waved at them.

A few children ran out again, looking at the older children, seeing Zhu Xiao, they shouted weakly, "Madam! ”

"What are you hiding there for?"

“……”

The eldest child thought for a moment before saying, "Madam, will you still share the steamed buns tomorrow?" ”

“？”

"We haven't eaten for a long time, can you divide some more tomorrow, it's okay to have more buds, we're really hungry!"

“……”

Zhu Xiao looked at him without saying a word.

The boy's face suddenly turned red, "I, I know that there are some embarrassed Mrs., if the lady is willing to give us a steamed bun every day, we are willing to do everything for Mrs." ”

"Willing to do anything?" Zhu Xiao whispered.

"Yes!"

Zhu Xiao looked at the boy in front of him, he was also a teenager.

"How old are you?"

"Mrs. Hui, it's fourteen this year!"

“……”

Fourteen, half-year-old child.

One steamed bun a day, the requirements are really not high.

Zhu Xiao looked at him, and then at the other children, "You guys go back first, let me think about it!" ”

"Then we'll come back tomorrow!" A few children reluctantly left.

Zhu Xiao watched them leave before entering the house.

Fang Zhi said, "Madam, can't you be so kind, there are so many little beggars in Wucheng!" ”

"I know a lot of little beggars, but I can't bear to see them starve to death like this!"

"But you can't help so many people, even the county magistrate doesn't dare to take care of it, how do you manage it?" Fang Zhi stomped his feet.

She is not hard-hearted, but so many little beggars, the family has committed a big incident, long live the lord sent to the border Wucheng, the county order wants to leave here, how dare to settle those children.

"I'm thinking about it!" Zhu Xiao whispered.

also knew that Fang Zhi was for her good, so he was willing to listen to Fang Zhi's words.

It's not easy to get these kids online.

That little bit of money in my hand is really not enough.

But the first thing to do is to find a way to buy a piece of hill first, reclaim the land, and plant buds, soybeans, and sweet potatoes.

These things are well planted, and they can fill the stomach.

Sweet potatoes can also be made into sweet potato flour and sweet potato soup.

Those children, the eldest can also work, as long as they take care of the food, they must be willing to work hard in order to survive.

Zhu Xiao returned to the house, and Fang's mother came over with hot water, "Madame will drink hot soup first, and tell Fang Zhi to do trivial things!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Xiao took a sip of hot soup and felt much more comfortable.

"Aunt Fang, this soup is good, you boil more and let everyone taste it!"

"Hey, the slave will cook it in a while, and it's just right to eat it at night!"

"Hmm!"

This soup is boiled, it tastes good, and it is warm to eat.

"Aunt Fang, what are you cooking this soup with? Does it cost money? ”

"It doesn't cost money, just boil the water, add some eggs, and green vegetable juice, the green vegetables are not thrown away, keep the chopped dumplings to eat, madam, let's eat green vegetable and meat dumplings at night, do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, Aunt Fang can pay attention!"

Zhu Xiao suddenly asked again, "Aunt Fang, is that sweet potato expensive?" ”

"Sweet potatoes are very cheap, three or four catties a penny, if the sweet potatoes just came out, there are five or six catties for a penny, and the sweet potatoes in the fields grow very well in the countryside of Wucheng!"

"Then you cook a few pots of sweet potatoes tomorrow and share them with those children!"

"Those little beggars on the street?"

"Hmm!"

Fang's mother hesitated for a moment before saying, "Madam, you have helped for a while, you can't help for a lifetime, you only have so much silver in your hand, in this Wucheng, it is difficult to earn silver, and those children, the county order does not dare to dispose of them, how can you care?" ”

"I want to be a positive blessing for the child in my belly!" Zhu Xiao whispered.

“……”

Fang's mother was stunned.

I feel uncomfortable too.

Madame, such a good person, should suffer such troubles.

"Madame's thoughts are good, but Madam, there are really a lot of little beggars in Wucheng, you can't control so much!"

"So I'm going to buy some mountain land, and then let these children reclaim it, some of them are also older, and it is always possible to do some work, but there is one less leader, give them a direction to live!"

"Can the lady guarantee that all of these children are good?"

"No, but one or two are good, and that's enough!"

Fang's mother was silent for a moment before continuing, "In this Wucheng, the person who is really in charge is not the county commander, but the general who guards the city, if Madam really wants to envelop these children, she has to meet this general, it's just ......"

Fang's mother swallowed her saliva, "It's just that Madame is so good-looking, if she really wants to see the general, I'm afraid that it will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and it will be difficult to get out!" ”

“……”

Zhu Xiao was silent when he heard this.

Thinking about things.

Rubbing the stove in his hand gently, "Aunt Fang, I want to meet this general!" ”

"Madam......" Fang's mother exclaimed.

Immediately understood what Zhu Xiao meant, "Madam, by all means, you are such a good person, why do you have to practice your dignity for those children!" ”
