Chapter 23 The Disaster Spreads
Xingliang Township belongs to Fengyan County, and Fengyan County has always been the largest grain producer in Hongpu City, and now Fengyan County has been hit by drought, and the grain output is more than half less than in previous years.
Compared to Fengyan County, it is not as good as Fengyan County, but she doesn't deliberately guess, and she knows that the situation will only be worse, Xia Yanru thought of these things after she went back, she knew that the world she was in had this history, but she was not sure about this parallel time and space.
However, if we look at the historical accounts of drought, the impact of such droughts is often not limited to the year of the drought, and it can take up to two years before it can be alleviated.
"Well, it looks like this Virgin can't do it." Xia Yanru smiled self-deprecatingly, she used to despise the actions of those Holy Fathers, but she only felt that there were so many poor people in the world, how far could she do it on her own, not to mention how good the situation of the Holy Mother and Holy Father was.
But really when she was faced with this difficult situation, Xia Yanru hesitated, she didn't know how much food there was in the space, it was too much, before and after the end of the world, she had always been keen on collecting materials, and when the storage space was full, she piled it up in the ancient space.
Obviously there are countless food materials, seeing that countless people are dying at any time because of hunger, Xia Yanru is no longer a virgin temperament, and she can't turn a blind eye, if she can ensure that she is not attacked by danger, she really wants to help these hungry people.
Early the next morning, Yao Songqiu knocked on the door of Ying's house with the accountant, and both of them looked tired, which showed that they either didn't sleep last night, or they didn't sleep for long.
"Natsu-chan, it's early." Yao Songqiu reluctantly squeezed out a smile and greeted.
Last night, he was dragged by the village chiefs of several villages to count for a night, of course, he mainly wanted to help Xia Yanru fight for the benefits he deserved as much as possible, even if Xia Yanru didn't say it, but he didn't want his family to work in vain.
"The village chief hasn't slept all night?" Seeing the tiredness of the two, Xia Yanru asked bluntly.
"Hey, it wasn't the grandsons who got it. Uh, ahem, what, here's a list of needs for the four villages, you see if it's difficult. After Yao Songqiu complained, she thought that Xia Yanru was still a little girl, and hurriedly handed out the four lists in disguise.
There were a total of four villages found yesterday, all of which were not far from Shishanao, and they all happened to have daughters who married or married Shishanao girls.
The size of those four villages is about the same as that of the fidzi-shan, but the overall number of people is much larger, so the food needs listed are much higher than what Yao Songqiu wanted at the beginning.
The four villages need a lot of food, but the reserves in Xia Yanru's space are not worth mentioning, so she just raised her eyebrows expressionlessly, and did not say yes or no.
"By the way, I collected the money tickets for the purchase of grain in advance, and they were all locked in the accounting room, you can rest assured, in addition to the grain payment, I asked you for an additional intermediary fee." When Yao Songqiu talked about intermediary fees, he subconsciously lowered his voice several degrees.
"Okay, there is a lot of food, I need some time to contact, the fastest will be sent back the day after tomorrow, the grain will be settled when I come back, and the intermediary fee, thank you." Xia Yanru knew that this intermediary fee must have been fought for by Yao Songqiu for her, otherwise she had a little money this year, and she had to buy food, so how could she think of paying the intermediary fee.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, it was enough to make you suffer a loss and take advantage of favors by collecting grain at market prices, but you can't be busy in vain." Yao Songqiu waved his hand, now I won't say whether there is food on the market, but let's talk about the price of food, it is really a day at a time.
The price of food at the grain station has not changed much, but it has to have food to sell out, and now those who have a little money are going to the black market to find food, and the price has more than doubled, and you have to have luck to grab it.
Kindness is goodness, in order to prevent raising people's hearts, Xia Yanru will not refuse these intermediary fees, she will not make a fortune, but kindness must also have a degree, selling food at market prices is already her greatest kindness.
After finalizing the deadline for handing over the grain, Xia Yanru entrusted the house that was still under construction to Ying Fengshan to take care of, kept some money, and coaxed the reluctant Fang Niang to leave Shishanao again.
Xia Yanru thought about it, so much food can't be conjured out of thin air, there must be a reasonable way, but the eyes that are secretly monitoring must find a way to deceive it.
At this time, the little soldier who was in charge of monitoring Xia Yanru was full of bitterness, if Xia Yanru had been staying in the village, the difficulty of monitoring would be very low, but once she went out, even if she was good at lurking and investigating, the little soldier was not completely sure that there would be no problems.
The first stop when I left Shishan Pass was to find the Cheng family father and son, left enough food, and explained that Zhang Qiang continued to help take care of it, and then rushed to the second stop scheduled for this outing - Hongpu City.
The provenance of a large amount of grain does not necessarily have to be reasonable, but it also needs a transit station to transport it back, this place is not suitable for the small county town of Fengyan County, but Hongpu City is different, it is the largest distribution center of medicinal materials in Yunnan Province, and there is a large Yunjin wharf.
In addition, there are also a lot of trucks stopping in Hongpu City, both passenger and freight, and such convenient conditions are really convenient for Xia Yanru.
However, Xia Yanru didn't plan to use these, she just wanted to take advantage of these convenient conditions in Hongpu City to find a reliable excuse for her food provenance, and this time for the transportation of grain, she wanted to find a few trucks that could pick up private work directly from here.
Although the drive from Hongpu City to Shishanao is long, it can be reached in almost three days, which is much faster than the train, which is one of the reasons why she did not choose to transport by train.
It's just that it's difficult to find a truck that can pick up private work, and she still wants to transport a large amount of grain, a improper operation will cause unnecessary trouble, Xia Yanru fell into the problem of how to successfully complete the grain transportation on the first day she arrived in Hongpu City.
But if there is no stalker around, she will wait directly until the delivery date to smuggle the grain to the village, but there is a stalker who has always been by her side, and she will only do the act of conjuring up food out of thin air unless she is stupid.
After a night of careful consideration, Xia Yanru formulated a set of safe and feasible plans, of course, in addition to this set of plans that would be implemented directly, just in case, she also came up with two other remedial plans.
In order to disturb the audio-visual, Xia Yanru began to wander around the city in addition to the state-run guest house in the morning, first, she wanted to find a convenient place to put food, and second, she also wanted to take the opportunity to enter and exit a few courtyards at will, and then do something to disrupt the judgment of the monitors instead of doing some facts.
"What the hell is this girl trying to do?" Sure enough, the little soldier Da Xiang, who had been in charge of keeping an eye on him, was full of doubts, watching Xia Yanru enter and leave four or five courtyards back and forth, and then looked at a few people very covertly, only thinking that the other party might have something big.
However, what he didn't know was that those who received Xia Yanru's eyes felt inexplicable, that is, seeing that Xia Yanru had been expressionless, otherwise they would think that the other party was not serious.
After doing all this, the time came to the next evening, and Xia Yanru also selected three places suitable for putting food, but it was not good to explore directly in the blue sky and daytime, so she could only wait until the night to go to those three places to investigate carefully.
