When she got up in the morning, Xiangling boiled chicken soup early, wanting Jiang to drink it after getting up, but when it was almost noon, Jiang didn't get up, and only waited for Ge Changlin.

Ge Changlin scratched his scalp in embarrassment and muttered, "Xiang, Xiangling, I, I'll go into the house and call your mother." ”

Xiangling hurriedly waved and said: "No need to call, today I cook for the quartermaster camp, my mother can start whenever she wants, I boiled old chicken soup for her, warm it in the soup cup, remember to give it to her when she wakes up." ”

Xiangling personally cooked for the soldiers and generals of the quartermaster camp, steamed steamed buns, and one dish and one soup.

After cooking well, he left some for Ge Changlin, and he took Xiaoshan and Xiao Xianglian to deliver food to the quartermaster camp.

On the way, I met five or six village women who had come back from digging wild vegetables.

Xiangling casually glanced at the baskets of several people and found that there were only five or six wilted wild vegetables in each basket.

Xiangling hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, I can't dig many wild vegetables now, and besides, the beasts on the mountain don't eat much, so be careful when you go down the mountain to forage for food." ”

The women agreed and left.

Within a few steps, Xiangling heard one of the women say: "Xiangling's big steamed buns taste so fragrant, yesterday her family had a happy event, I ate four in one go, and one meal can last two days." It's all my family's fault, the wheat in the ration field in the autumn paid rent, and he got a lot of money selling soybeans, but he said that he could buy whatever he wanted. Now it's good, I can't buy food with silver bumps in my hands, so I can only eat wild vegetables to fill my stomach. ”

Another woman replied, "Who doesn't do that?" Our village is not bad, there is Xiangling leading the locust extermination to fight the disaster, and there are wild vegetables to dig in the field; I heard that the other villages began to flee to the south again, and the people in other counties were even more miserable, not only to flee, but also to sell their sons and daughters. My two aunts and sisters are from the next county, and they can't open the pot anymore, and they heard that the harvest in our village has been saved, so they want to find a mother-in-law for her daughter in our village. ”

A woman worried: "Our village has kept its crops, but all we grow are soybeans, and we can't buy wheat to eat when we exchange money for money!" What can I do in the future? ”

Xiangling was stunned for a while, and instantly followed with a sad face.

There is no shortage of food in his own family, so he only thinks about exterminating locusts and forgets about the problem of insufficient food for the villagers.

When Xiangling negotiated with the old mansion, Xiangling scared Chu and said that his family only had two or three months of food in reserve, and if so many people in the old mansion ate together, they would not survive for a month, so they forced the old mansion to break off their relatives and go south to Liu's cousin.

In fact, in order to curb some people from raising the price of wheat, Xiangling began to store more than 100,000 catties of wheat after the wheat came down last autumn.

Except for a few people involved, outsiders don't know about this at all.

When Xiangling drove the carriage and delivered the food to the quartermaster camp, Ling Qingyue saw Xiangling with a gloomy face.

Ling Qingyue put her hand on her forehead worriedly, it was just right to be lukewarm, and she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiangling pondered for a long time and said: "Yue, when I came, I saw my aunts digging wild vegetables, I heard that I haven't eaten a serious meal for a long time, I still have more than 100,000 catties of wheat in my hand, I want to send relief food to the victims of Lin'an County......"

Ling Qingyue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Absolutely not." ”

Xiangling Fox wondered: "Why? ”

Ling Qingyue shook her head and said: "The total population of our Lin'an County is 315,800 people, there are 150,000 people who took the customs clearance documents, almost 10,000 people who did not take the customs clearance documents, and the rest of the population is 150,000, even if you have 150,000 catties of grain, how to divide it?" One pound per person? Eat for three days and then starve to death? Your food is only a drop in the bucket for the whole county and the whole disaster area, and it will not solve any problems. ”

Xiangling's face was embarrassed, she was just hot-headed and kind-hearted, after Ling Qingyue's analysis, she seemed to be too naïve and too self-conscious.

The small horse pulls the cart, and the last one is tired to death.

Ling Qingyue continued to analyze: "If you openly develop disaster relief food, there are two major harms. The first harm is to cause the people from Jiangbei to return to Lin'an County, and when the time comes, Lin'an County must not only prevent locust plagues, but also prevent displaced people and bandits; The second evil, in all dynasties, only the imperial court distributed disaster relief grain. Issued by civilians, it is equivalent to a slap in the face of the imperial court. Therefore, even if the rich families are kind, they only set up a shed and give porridge, and no one has ever distributed large-scale relief food, unless it is a bandit who wants to subvert the imperial court and buy the people's hearts. ”

Xiangling rubbed her temples, feeling that her head hurt, and said helplessly: "Then what should I do?" Even if I don't care about outsiders, I can't ignore the villagers in Chujia Village, they have always followed me, trusted me, and stayed with me to exterminate locusts and provide disaster relief, I can't have food in my hands and watch them starve, right? ”

Ling Qingyue's eyes rolled, and she lowered her voice and said, "How did the villagers eat yesterday?" ”

Xiangling nodded in confusion and said: "Yesterday was my mother's big day, eight dishes and one soup, there is meat and vegetables, naturally good!" ”

Ling Qingyue smiled and said: "It's better for us to get married, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just tomorrow!" By setting up the reason for the wedding wine, I invited all the villagers to eat the wedding wine......"

Xiangling Fox said suspiciously: "What about the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow?" Can't the two of us get married every day? ”

Seeing that the little girl listened to it seriously, she was so cute and cute, Ling Qingyue lowered her head, imprinted her lower lip on her forehead, and said with a smile: "If you marry me, you are the sister-in-law of more than 200 soldiers in the quartermaster camp, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, you have to find a daughter-in-law for your brothers, marry one a day, set up a banquet a day, and after all the marriages are completed, you have to set up a banquet for more than 200 days, and the disaster should be over......"

Xiangling realized Ling Qingyue's ridicule later, and slapped Ling Qingyue's lower abdomen with her elbow, and scolded angrily: "No shape, who wants to marry you!" Who wants to be a military wife? If I had more than 200 brothers-in-law, I would have to be killed by the noise, and then I would think of another way. ”

Ling Qingyue muttered: "You have food in your hands, and the people have money in their hands, why do you have to send it?" If you sell grain at a low price, the court will be happy, and the people will be happy. If the grain is not enough for the people in the county, it is specified that it will only be sold to farmers who grow soybeans, so that the number of people who meet the requirements is reduced by half. Then, it is not possible to sell all the grain at one time, but once every three or seven days, and sell it in limited quantities, so as to maintain a long stream of water and let the farmers always see hope. ”

Xiangling couldn't help but give Ling Qingyue a thumbs up, but Ling Qingyue was more thoughtful than herself, and the most important thing was that she didn't lose money.

Xiangling was suspicious that Ling Qingyue, a stingy ghost, came up with this method in order to save money, but unfortunately she had no evidence, and what people said made sense.

The GIs had finished their meal, and sensibly carried the rice buckets and soup buckets onto the carriage.

Xiangling was just about to get into the car, but Ling Qingyue pulled her cuffs and pulled her in front of the soldiers, and said with a smile: "Boys, Miss Chu will have a banquet tomorrow, and the recruits will show me the highlights, if it is a little girl in the picture, let Miss Chu be the matchmaker, if it happens, I will give a dowry gift, and Miss Chu will be out of the banquet......"

Xiangling was startled, pulled Ling Qingyue's cuffs and said, "I didn't promise to marry you tomorrow!" What kind of banquet do you set up? ”

Ling Qingyue lowered her voice and said, "Aren't you going to sell grain?" Now that food is more expensive than gold, do you want it to be robbed? I took the soldiers, my new father-in-law and my eldest brother, and I went to three or four villages every day, and soon I could sell a circle of grain. My people have done so much, shouldn't you have a banquet? ”

Xiangling: "......"

The corners of Ling Qingyue's mouth rose, and she shouted to her subordinates: "Why don't you thank Miss Chu?" ”

The GIs smiled happily and said in unison, "Thank you, sister-in-law!! ”

The voice was extremely loud, and Xiangling's ears were a little deaf, especially the "sister-in-law" who roared the sky, which made her scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

Sure enough, the words of two hundred little uncles and the like were not fake, they were too scary, and Xiangling climbed into the carriage in embarrassment and ran away.
