"If you had witnessed what he had done, you would have thought the same way I did."

"Hehe, to be so valued by Ziyu, I really have to see it."

"There will be surprises. However, it is a pity that although he has a very high IQ, he is just an ordinary man and has no superpowers. Shen Wan looked regretful.

"Tiandu is jealous of Hongyan, if it is really as powerful as you say, and it is a superpower, then it is not thunder every day! By the way, come with me? Zhu never dreamed that she would actually say a prophecy.

"Nope. Madame knows that her husband doesn't like those trivial matters, so it's better for Madame to decide. Shen Wan grinned.

"Hmph, I'm just working hard."

……

"Everyone gather in the dining hall, Madame is about to arrive."

As soon as Zhou Sen finished eating, Zhu Guanzi summoned the workers to gather in the canteen.

The dining hall is next to the kitchen, there are more than a dozen large round tables for eating, which can accommodate nearly 200 people, although it is a place to eat, but few people will come here to eat, everyone prefers to squat in the courtyard with a basin and squat in a circle while eating and chatting.

Another function of the canteen is to hold meetings.

Everyone gathered in the dining hall, and there was a lot of noise, Zhou Sen and Lu Axe found a corner to sit down, he didn't want to attract Zhu's attention. In Zhou Sen's eyes, Zhu is an extremely shrewd and capable woman.

It wasn't until Zhu walked into the dining hall that he quieted down.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhu's eyes swept over the cafeteria, "Recently, Nie Jiaqiao has been an eventful time, I think you have also seen it this morning, thousands of victims, I expect that this situation will get worse and worse with the cold weather." Yesterday when I came back from Tianfu, there were people suffering from hunger and cold along the way, and people were freezing to death and starving to death on the road every day. Now, those people are gathering towards big cities and small towns, and the number of hungry people in our Niejiaqiao has exceeded two thousand, and it is increasing every day......"

"Maybe you haven't understood what I'm talking about, but you must know the famine of 626 and 1156 of the Han Dynasty, that famine, the Han Empire lost five million people, it was five million, not half a million, not fifty thousand. Do you know how many people Nie Jiaqiao is? Less than 100,000, and within hundreds of miles of the entire Niejia Bridge, there are only 100,000 people. In fact, that is only the official statistics, and it is said that the total number of people who died that time has exceeded 10 million, not including the surrounding countries that were affected. According to conservative estimates, the entire Zhanyun Continent has more than 20 million deaths......"

"Do you know how those people died?"

"They, some of them starved to death, and many more, were killed. Those hungry people who were dizzy and dizzy gathered together and became a mob, and they were like locusts in the land of the Han Empire, burning, killing and looting everywhere they passed, and there was no one for thousands of miles......"

……

"This year, history repeats itself. Floods and droughts occurred in many parts of the Han Empire, and this winter was more than a month early, freezing for thousands of miles, dripping into ice, making the lives of the victims even more difficult, and the hungry people gathered, which is a bad omen. ”

"Nie Jiaqiao is remote and has not been affected for the time being, but I want to tell you that we will definitely be affected, and if we don't take action, we will become victims of famine. I can tell you with certainty that once the hungry people are on the verge of death, they will become a mob more terrible than the beasts, and at that time, morality and law will lose their restraint on them. ”

"Now, we have to make two preparations: first, try to give porridge for disaster relief; Second, take up arms and be ready to fight at any time. In addition, all the workers of the Shen family can bring their families to the Shen family, the male lives in the idle warehouse in the east compound, and the female family members live in the wing room of the west courtyard. Later, everyone will go home and inform the family and bring all the food and valuables......"

Looking at Zhu's unhurried speech, Zhou Sen secretly admired, this woman, really scheming, actually asked the workers to bring their families to the Shen family's compound, that is undoubtedly kidnapping the fate of the workers to the Shen family, when the time comes, if anyone wants to be unfavorable to the Shen family, they will naturally resist to the death.

"Alright, that's it...... Hey, by the way, I don't know if you have any good suggestions for everyone to get through the difficulties together......" Zhu was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered what Shen Wan said, stopped and looked for Zhou Sen in the crowd.

"Zhou Sen has!"

Before Zhu's words fell, the sound of Lu axe urn and urn gas sounded. Lu Axe gets along with Zhou Sen every day, and learns a lot of knowledge with Zhou Sen, in the eyes of Lu Axe, Zhou Sen is the smartest person in the world.

Zhou Sen wanted to pull the axe, but it was too late, so he could only complain secretly. Zhou Sen naturally didn't know that Lu Axe treated him as a pearl covered by dust, and he couldn't wait to let everyone know that Zhou Sen was a bright pearl.

"Zhou Sen, what do you suggest?" Zhu Shi was secretly surprised, she knew that Lu Axe had a withdrawn temperament and few words, and it was possible for anyone to recommend something like this in public, but he couldn't do it, and now, it was he Lu Axe who recommended it first.

"Nope." Zhou Sen replied very simply.

"Zhou Sen, think about it carefully, if our Shen family falls, this East Compound will fall, the East Compound will fall, you, and Lu Axe, all the workers here, will have no place to live." Zhu said lightly.

Lu axe, all the workers......

Zhou Sen was stunned.

Suddenly, he actually had a trace of concern for this eastern compound.

Chef Peng and Chef Lei, who are often red-faced because of braggart and arguments, Sister-in-law Peng, who likes to introduce daughters-in-law, Sister-in-law Sun who often takes care of sick workers, Zhu Zhu, who is outspoken and loud, Mr. Seven, who seems to sleep all day long, and Lu Axe, who likes to listen to him, and Jia Deaf, who only knows how to do things......

"Maybe there is......"

"If you have one, just tell it to everyone." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu's mouth.

"Madam, Nie Jiaqiao has fertile land, abundant products, and has not been affected by disasters, let alone thousands, even if it is to feed tens of thousands of people, there is no problem, as long as Madam gathers the big households in Nie Jiaqiao to give porridge and disaster relief together, and distribute some winter clothes to protect against the cold, the hungry people will naturally not become mobs, and all problems will be solved."

"I have already thought of this method, and today, I am visiting the local squire, but it is only perfunctory, and no one is willing to really come out for disaster relief, but they all want to hoard food and make a fortune." A look of anger appeared on Zhu's face.

"Then things are complicated, I don't know if Madame will continue to give porridge for disaster relief?"

"Yes."

"Could it be that the housewife thinks that the Shen family can feed thousands of hungry people on their own?"

"I can't."

"Yes!" Zhou Sen replied in the affirmative.

"Could it be that you really let our Shen family raise those thousands of hungry people?" A trace of anger appeared on Zhu's face.

"Yes. The grain in the Shen family's warehouse is enough to feed thousands of people, and if the Shen family is willing to buy the surplus grain in the hands of the tenants at a high price, then the Shen family has no problem feeding tens of thousands of people. ”

"Hehe, yes, with the Shen family's industry, let alone a few thousand people, if it is just to fill the stomach, even tens of thousands of people can be fed, but if we raise tens of thousands of people until the snow melts next year, our Shen family will also go bankrupt. Besides, there are thousands of hungry people, if it spreads out, a swarm of bees will come, and our Shen family will not be able to support all the hungry people even if they smash pots and sell iron. Zhu Shi laughed instead of being angry.

"No, no, Madam is wrong, the Shen family is not raised in vain, this Nie family bridge is vast and sparsely populated, the Shen family has barren mountains and mountains in Nie Jiaqiao, the main mother can let those hungry people work for the Shen family to open up wasteland and build roads, dredge water conservancy, the Shen family only needs to provide cold clothes and food to fill the stomach for the hungry people, and in case of a wandering mob, our manpower is also enough to defend ......"

"Open up the wasteland!" Zhu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's a win-win-win-win-win- The Shen family can obtain a large amount of cheap labor as long as they pay very little, and after the land is cleared, when the spring flowers bloom in the next year, many victims may stay and become tenants of the Shen family. And the barren mountain that opened up happened to come in handy. ”

Thousands of people opened up wasteland, dug roads, dug canals, and built dams.

After the spring blossoms, thousands of people may remain as tenants of the Shen family.

In addition to clearing the wasteland, you can also grow winter crops.

The most important thing is that if there is a large-scale mob, these thousands of hungry people can also organize to protect the Shen family's industry......

……

The more Zhu thought about it, the more excited he became.

As long as according to what Zhou Sen said, the Shen family will reach a new level next year, and the number of tenants and land will increase several times.

In the era of agricultural civilization, large families with traditional business models such as the Shen family can be said to have a soft spot for land, because tenants and fields are assets, and they are assets that constantly produce benefits and never depreciate.

"Madam, without further ado, now Nie Jiaqiao's people's hearts are fluctuating, once someone makes noise and instigates, it will inevitably cause chaos, and when the time comes, it will be out of control, and it will be too late to clean up the mess, it is best to immediately make a notice to appease people's hearts, and then, buy food on a large scale. It doesn't matter if the price is high, if you can't eat enough to sell grain next year, after this year's drought, flood and famine, the grain will be scarce, and the price will rise, which can just make up for the loss of the Shen family's high-priced purchase of grain. ”

"Good, great idea!" Zhu's shooting was amazing.

That night, some important figures of the Shen family acted separately, Zhang Bang of Zhang Bang, of grain collectors, and the families of some workers also moved to the Shen family compound one after another.

The East Compound still prepared soup kitchen, and was busy until eleven o'clock in the evening before Zhou Sen climbed into bed.

After going to bed, Zhou Sen couldn't sleep, staring at the door in a daze.

Will Shen Huimin come?

What is she here for?

Tossing and turning and unable to sleep, Zhou Sen stayed up until two o'clock in the morning, under Zhou Sen's gaze, Shen Huimin sneakily pushed open the door and slipped into Zhou Sen's room.

Zhou Sen's heart was beating wildly.

"Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen......"

Shen Huimin shouted softly. The room was a little dim, and Shen Huimin couldn't see Zhou Sen.

"What?"

"Ah...... You didn't sleep! Shen Huimin was startled and slapped her chest repeatedly.

"Waiting for you."

"Don't wait, it's coming soon."

"What's coming soon?"

"Soon, soon, soon......"

"What's going on...... Ah......h

"You...... You...... What the hell did you do? Zhou Sen knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't get excited, go to the toilet, just go to the toilet for a while." Shen Huimin was afraid that Zhou Sen couldn't help but cry out in pain, covered Zhou Sen's mouth with one hand, touched Zhou Sen's bedside table with the other, and hurriedly stuffed a roll of toilet paper into Zhou Sen's hand.

Zhou Sen didn't have time to think about it at all, so he took the paper, bent his back, and rushed to the toilet at a speed of 100 meters.

This time, it took another half an hour, which made Zhou Sen dizzy and tired.

When Zhou Sen staggered back to the room, as soon as he entered the door, he had not yet reached the bedside, and fell directly to the ground, and the feeling of ten thousand ants biting came again.

"Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen, use some strength yourself, you are too heavy, I can't drag you......" Shen Huimin saw Zhou Sen planted on the ground, and immediately became anxious, after closing the door, he grabbed Zhou Sen and dragged him the bed, but he didn't move.

"What the hell did you do?" Zhou Sen asked weakly.

"It's really nothing, I have to pull the pill for a week, every day at two o'clock in the morning, after pulling, the whole body will be very weak, and there will be the feeling of being bitten by ants...... Isn't it painful? ”

"Why don't you try it yourself?" Zhou Sen was already in pain and had no strength to roll, and he collapsed on the ground and looked at Shen Huimin blankly.

"Don't be angry, you go to bed first, I'll use your superpower to dredge the meridians, and you'll be fine."

"Are you alright?" Zhou Sen's trust in Shen Huimin is now at freezing point.

"Didn't you feel it yesterday? It only takes a moment and you'll be comfortable, and then you'll fall asleep. ”

"Well, help me to bed first...... It was so cold on the ground that he grabbed my arm...... Well...... It's two hands...... Right...... Right...... Drag hard, ...... hard ...... force"

"Finally laid down!"

Shen Huimin spent a lot of effort to finally get Zhou Sen into bed, and let out a long breath, and at the same time, Zhou Sen also breathed a long sigh of relief.

After helping Zhou Sen tidy up his messy clothes, Shen Huimin took off her shoes and went to bed, and began to use her weak superpowers to help Zhou Sen dredge the internal organs damaged by detoxification.

The wonderful feeling of limbs and bones being dredged by superpowers returned to Zhou Sen's body again, and Zhou Sen let out a comfortable moan.

"Hmph, you enjoyed it, Miss Ben is going to dredge your meridians on this cold night." Listening to Zhou Sen's comfortable moaning, Shen Huimin pinched Zhou Sen fiercely.

"As long as you take one, I will massage you every day."

"Crow's mouth, I'm baba, you're going to massage? Hmph, even if you can massage, do you have superpowers? Shen Huimin sneered.

“……”

"Zhou Sen, don't be sad, maybe one day, you will be able to cultivate superpowers." Seeing that Zhou Sen was silent, Shen Huimin hurriedly comforted him.

"When did you start cultivating your superpowers?" What Zhou Sen wanted to know most now was the world of cultivating gods, and immediately took the opportunity to ask.

"I ...... Very small...... When I was very young......" Shen Huimin said hesitantly.

"How small?"

"Hey, why do you keep asking this!" Shen Huimin suddenly became angry, "I've been cultivating since I was three years old, what's wrong!" I'm just born stupid, I've been cultivating for more than ten years, and I haven't entered the primary stage yet...... Ask, ask, what's the matter with you...... Hmph, rats catch rats, nosy......"

"It's the dog that takes the mouse......" Zhou Sen couldn't help but correct.

"I like rats catching mice. Hmph, you're such a strange person, you always don't open a pot and mention a pot, my father said, I'm not suitable for cultivation, and I don't want to go to Our Lady Mountain in my life...... Zhou Sen, you say, will my grandmother recognize me as a granddaughter? Ay...... Forget it, if you don't recognize it, you won't recognize it, what's the big deal...... Zhou Sen...... Dizzy, sleepy, I have to talk so much nonsense alone......"

At this time, Zhou Sen had already let out a slight snoring sound.

In the dark, Shen Huimin pouted, and reluctantly continued to dredge the meridians for Zhou Sen with superpowers.

Zhou Sen slept until six o'clock in the morning and was woken up.

When he was sleeping, Zhou Sen was worried, afraid that Shen Huimin would fall asleep after massaging him like last time, but fortunately, when Zhou Sen woke up, Shen Huimin was gone.

When Zhou Sen was secretly happy, there was a trace of loss in his heart.

Because many workers went home to call their families to Shen's house, there were not many helpers in the kitchen, and the two husbands and wives, Chef Peng and Chef Lei, both had red eyes, bloodshots, and a tired face, and it seemed that they had not slept all night.

Just when Zhou Sen helped move the steamed porridge to the west courtyard, some workers dragged their children and daughters to the east compound one after another, and the east courtyard became more and more lively, and there were more and more people to help.

As the saying goes, it is better to have fewer people for the New Year, and more people are better for planting. As soon as there are many people, things are done very quickly, and some preparations for soup kitchens are quickly done.

Now the Shen family has more than three hundred sturdy men in the East Compound alone, and many of them are tenants who voluntarily live in the Shen family.

All the men changed into the clothes of the East Compound, and the clothes made people feel an inexplicable sense of security, especially when standing together, like a solid city wall.

Last night, the Shen family posted a list, and the hungry people spread word of mouth, one to ten, ten to hundred, just one night, all the victims of Nie Jiaqiao knew about the Shen family's recruitment.

The effect is that the pole is effective.

Since three o'clock in the morning, more than 2,000 hungry people have flocked to the gate of the Shen family's west courtyard to wait, they are now not just waiting for a bowl of gruel and two steamed buns, most of them are for the Shen family's work of eating and lodging. With this job, there is no need to worry about freezing to death and starving to death in this cold winter.

At half past seven, the door is ready to be opened.

Hundreds of people dressed in the same clothes rushed from the outside of the east compound to the gate of the west courtyard, which was still very visually deterrent, and the original chaotic scene was quickly cleaned up, and some people who tried to cut the queue also honestly lined up.
