Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Drought Strikes
readx;
"I should be in the dark, you know, Zhou Dong's old-timers are not suitable for traveling, and the family still needs someone to take care of it, I am a good candidate for travel, and I can't say it if I don't go." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition, there are some personal matters that need to be dealt with, and this trip is a must-go. ”
Qingyang smiled, just now she said that it was difficult for her to end her line well, could her line be spared.
Different paths, the same fate, they are too fortunate to have walked, fortunately there is Wu Xi, the demon who appeared, otherwise they really don't know how to get out.
The day of the caravan's departure is getting closer and closer, and Cui Miaotong has been pestering Wu Xi for the past few days, and it seems that there is endless words.
In fact, it's not that there are endless words, but I just think that I have to be separated for a long time, and it is the right thing to seize the time to create a villain.
Many people looked at their stomachs, and the ancestors said that if they didn't work hard to make a little grandson for themselves, they wouldn't go back to their parents' house.
Those people with bad intentions, although they can't blatantly say anything about her, they must be happy in their hearts, so they say that she is a stone girl, and the little head of the Wu family doesn't believe it, so he smashed his hand.
Gossip made me very uncomfortable, so I didn't agree with Wu Xi's long trip.
The family already has a lot of property, and I really don't know what my husband is thinking about when he earns enough money in a month, so he has to stir up in the war.
That's not a good place, if you want to do business, their mother's family has channels, what's the good of fighting and killing.
"Husband, your Hara son is going to stay, what do you want?"
Wu Xi was seen through his heart, and immediately removed his mind from the Haizhou girl's body, and hugged Cui Miaotong is a crazy kiss.
Cui Miaotong was very uncomfortable with Wu Xi's sudden attack, and she was not prepared at all, but fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise she would really be ashamed to death.
She, a husband, is different from what she does, and she doesn't look like a Song Dynasty person at all.
Open-minded, peculiar ideas, even the joy of the bed between husband and wife has made a lot of tricks.
Although it is a little shy, it does help to continue the interest.
"It is said that the girl by the sea has good skin, I don't know if it's true, but my husband was thinking about it just now, and I was woken up by you. ”
"It's not false to say that you are a disciple, you haven't gone yet, you are thinking about other people's girls, you said that you are going out, can I rest assured?
If it really doesn't work, let Xiaomei go with you, no matter how you say it, it's your own family, even if you are your bed warmer, you won't treat her badly. ”
"You can pull it down, a husband is not like that, you don't use Xiaomei to test me, Xiaomei grows up, let her marry someone, no one wants to stay at home.
Even if I am a beast, I don't want to marry you Yahuan, so you don't use this matter to disgust me in the future. ”
"I'm still angry, it's just to test you, forget it if you don't have an idea, anyway, how the little beauty looks, you can see it, besides, when you said in the willow forest that you wanted to take a concubine or something, the concubine wanted to give you Xiaomei.
First, if we are sisters, there is no barrier, and I know that Xiaomei is a child, and it will not ruin your reputation.
What's the matter with the butterfly that lives in the yard, if you marry her in and be sisters to the concubine, how do you let the concubine get along with her?
If the words were wrong, he took out a knife and pierced the concubine's whole body, in that case, wouldn't it be a mess of Gangchang?
So the concubine should be the final say of the master's mother, isn't it?"
I have to admit that Cui Miaotong is right, but Wu Xi will not believe that the butterfly will take out a knife and stab her.
She wasn't even determined to kill herself, let alone his family.
Xiaomei is a cute girl, but Wu Xi just can't like it, if she has a *** affair with a girl she doesn't like, it's okay to crawl on her body all day long and do piston exercises, it's a little difficult for a strong man.
So for the sake of Xiaomei's happiness, it's better to choose someone else.
Since there is no way to reach an agreement, then let's not talk about it for now, this is the way of life as a couple, otherwise there will be a quarrel after a while.
"Don't talk about concubines and the like, it's true that the family's business is booming.
We're destined to go to Tokyo City in the future, and the industry here needs to be taken care of, and you've recently started to select candidates.
I'm afraid that my husband won't go back here when he goes out this time, you can decide everything here, and someone will come to pick you up when the time comes.
The experimental field in the greenhouse will be harvested when it is ripe, but it can't be cooked, it is something that our whole family lives for, and we need to take a good look at it.
Remember to ask the planter to come and see it when you are harvesting, even if you brag about it in the future, you can have a witness. ”
Hearing that her husband will not come back, Cui Miaotong's tears swirled in her eyes, is this going to do business or going to war, how can you do a business and still go to the capital?
She has lived in this place all her life, and she doesn't want to go anywhere, and she is really reluctant to say that she is going to live in Tokyo.
"Doing things for the royal family should be what it looks like, living in the capital is the minimum condition, you have to let him see that you have no ambition.
If he lived in Chang'an City, he felt that his husband would gather forces to rebel, and the Wu family, the Cui family, and those who had a good relationship with his husband would probably suffer.
So for the sake of most people, we have to go to Tokyo, because you are the royal hostage, and you can hold your husband in the palm of your hand. ”
Wu Xi comforted Cui Miaotong.
In this way, Cui Miaotong's mood has obviously improved, that is because Wu Xi said that he was a hostage, so it can be seen that Wu Xi has a deep affection for him, otherwise he would not have risen to the level of a hostage.
Drought has swept across the Guanzhong region, and until now, most farmers have not planted seeds in the fields.
This is a test for the way of the planter.
There were many riots in the year of famine, which was a lesson of history, and how to appease the people was what he should do as a prefect.
Gather the people to help start building aqueducts to bring water from the Wei River and the Bahe River into the farmland, so that even if the grain is planted in the summer, there will be some harvest in the autumn, but it is a little late.
Good food is not afraid of being late, this is the mantra of the farmer's field, in order to cheer himself up.
Irrigation canals used to exist, but in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and they have not been used, resulting in the abandonment of the canals, so now it is not so laborious to dig them again.
I have wanted to do this for a long time, but I didn't get the support of the government, and now the cultivation of the master is in a hurry, so it is natural to implement it.
Due to the drought for several days, the water level has also dropped somewhat, so the sediment in the riverbed needs to be dug up so that the water can flow into the canal.
This is a big project, and the Meridian Camp has some advanced equipment that can be used, all of which are good ideas that Wu Xi came up with, thinking of this, the Planter Dao can't help but be very proud.
Standing on the cracked land, the planter can't eat a mouthful of food, and the farmer has no way to live, so how can he eat?
Thinking that the old farmer came over tremblingly, holding a bowl of porridge without rice in his hand, he sent it to the planter Dao, begging him to eat it.
There was no reason for the planter to refuse, looking at these simple eyes, he had to close his eyes and eat the food.
The peasants were almost out of surplus, and the grain merchants only knew about the price increase at this time, and the reaction was a little late, which still made many people rush to buy low-priced grain.
Most people still don't have rice to cook tomorrow.
The women who work in the Wu family don't have these worries, and they still come to work every day, and when they get off work, they still have brown rice for three people.
Cui Miaotong is congratulating Lao Meng for his original idea to save some more food, even if the people in Chang'an City starve to death, their family will at least be able to delay the beginning of spring next year.
Before he could come out of his joyful look, Wu Xi ordered Lao Meng to open the warehouse, exchange the precision that he had purchased into brown rice, and send it down, waiting for the relief food from the imperial court, and I don't know how many people will starve to death at that time.
The Qian family responded to the Wu family's move and also opened a warehouse to release grain.
In this way, the grain merchants were not happy, because there were almost no people who bought rice from them, and they all went to Wu and Qian to receive free grain.
Although the quality of the rice is not very good, but if you can eat it in one bite, what do you care about?
The next day, the planter came to Wu's house angrily, saying that Wu Xi was a big traitor, obviously there was polished rice, but he had to replace the polished rice with brown rice and bran, are these eaten by people?
How can I say that the economy of the Great Song Dynasty has not reached the point where peasants eat bran, it is something that animals eat, how can it be eaten by people?
Wu Xi was not angry, and when the seed master finished his temper and sat down to drink, Wu Xi slowly explained various truths to him.
"The people in Chang'an City need to get food, and our family doesn't have a lot of food, if it is distributed to 50,000 hungry people, how much can everyone share?
If one pound of polished rice is exchanged for three pounds of brown rice and five pounds of bran, how much can each person get?
Needless to say, you can understand this account.
If you have to say that people can't eat bran, then the kid will make people stop, and then there will be as much as they can, anyway, if you wait for the imperial court to close the warehouse and release grain for disaster relief, you have to wait for at least a month, how many people do you say can survive this month?
Besides, do you dare to guarantee that the grain that is always closed is full of food? Maybe the empty position can starve the rats to death, believe it or not?"
Crooked reasoning is crooked reasoning, but whoever hears it knows the truth, and the cultivation master is not stupid, so he can naturally understand that what Wu Xi said is true.
In order to fight the Western Xia in these years, the Western Army may have exhausted the grain that was often closed.
Fortunately, there are righteous families like Wu Xi and Qian Fu, and they can still think about the good of the people and give them a bite to eat, but this will not last long.
The remaining loopholes must be filled by themselves, sighed, got up and left the table, such a good meal, it is really a waste.
