c_t; After arriving in Shouyang City, Fang Ruitao quickly settled Yichen and others, Yichen did not dare to delay, they immediately found a place to open a furnace to make iron, and built various farm tools for those farmers who were about to start spring ploughing, and the Shouyang Chamber of Commerce and food processing factories also began to prepare intensively.

As soon as Fang Ruitao arrived in Shouyang City, he began to re-plan for the entire Shouyang City. Shouyang City was originally not big, the city wall was not high, it was half brick and half earth, and the degree of strength was much worse, so Fang Ruitao planned to renovate the city wall, and took the opportunity of renovation to expand the entire city. In order to achieve this goal, Fang Ruitao began to lead a group of people to run around near the outskirts of the city, surveying the terrain everywhere and recording detailed data.

"Young master, take a rest, we've been running all morning. Jian Zhongyi ran behind Fang Ruitao and was sweating profusely, this is not to say that his strength is not good, and it is really hot to catch up with the sunny day in this early spring, and the cotton clothes on his body have not been taken off.

Fang Ruitao was also sweating, he smiled and said, "It's okay, let's take a rest here, anyway, we have to investigate nearby." Hearing that it was time to rest, Jian Zhongyi sat on the big stone on the side of the road, stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, and then he remembered something, immediately jumped up, took his kettle and unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Fang Ruitao.

Fang Ruitao took the kettle and took a sip of the herbal tea in it and said: "The city wall will also be built here, but I don't know if the geology is strong, whether there are dark rivers and other things, if there are those things, it is very bad for the city wall." ”

"Shall we find someone to ask?" Sun Wu, who came with him, leaned over and asked, at this time he was holding a sketchpad in one hand and a carbon bar in the other. Read the full text of the latest chapter

Fang Ruitao nodded: "It's okay, these things must be asked clearly, if there is an underground river nearby, the foundation will be very soft, and the building wall will be very seriously inclined or even collapsed." While a few people were talking, it happened that a few old farmers had just returned from the field with hoes, and Jian Zhongyi immediately stopped them and said, "A few old people, can you let my young master ask a few questions?"

When a few old peasants saw that the person was wearing satin clothes, they knew that it was a rich family, and immediately looked a little submissive: "Okay, no problem." They put down their hoes and followed Jian Zhongyi to Fang Ruitao's side.

Looking at a few slightly trembling thin figures, Fang Ruitao tried his best to show the most kind smile: "A few old people are in good health, how is life?" Fang Ruitao wanted to pull some homely things first, so that a few people could relax as much as possible, but he didn't expect a few old farmers to hear him ask like this, and the box would be opened.

"My lord, you don't know, there was a disaster last year, and this natural disaster ** is connected together to make people unable to live. Recently, a new lord has arrived, and he wants to recruit farmers to grow crops near Shouyang City, and we have come here to see it. The adults are really good to us, the seeds and farm tools are given away for free, but the rations are not enough to eat. ”

"Oh, isn't it true that each household will receive five catties of grain every day?" Fang Ruitao said differently: "This is also a family of five, if you can dig some wild vegetables, you can barely eat." Now that I want money everywhere, my lord can't put all the money into helping the victims. "Fang Ruitao's current funds are indeed relatively tight, so he can only make everyone eat six or seven points in terms of relief.

Several old farmers said: "This should indeed be enough to eat, but adults are calculated according to five people per household, but many families are very prosperous, and some even have more than a dozen people, so this food is not enough to eat." Now it is the spring famine, and the wild vegetables have not yet grown, so this food has become a big problem, and some families are ready to let the young and strong people go out to live, or they are separated, or they can only starve to death. ”

Fang Ruitao knew his negligence, originally Liu Jinhui was in accordance with the general disaster relief habits of the Heavenly God Continent, according to five people per household, and distributed food on a household basis, but although such statistics are convenient, the omission is very large, so there will be a situation where more than a dozen people only give five catties of food every day.

Fang Ruitao's brows gradually wrinkled, now the daily distribution of grain has reached 300,000 catties, that is to say, there are 60,000 households in Shouyang City plus nearby villages, and it is conservatively estimated that there are 300,000 people, but if the grain is distributed according to the population, according to those old farmers, this number is probably twice as much, which is really an unbearable burden. After all, the transformation of the entire urban area is imminent, and this part of the money must not be saved, otherwise it will cost a lot more to wait until the city develops and then re-plan.

"Old man, do you know if there are any places like a dark river nearby?" Seeing Fang Ruitao deep in thought, Sun Wu leaned up and asked.

"Our ancestors lived here, but we didn't hear of a dark river nearby, but we heard from our ancestors that there used to be a small river there, but it dried up more than a hundred years ago. One of the old farmers pointed to a nearby local road.

"Is there a small river? Do you know where the riverbed is?"

"Young master, there is a riverbed here, isn't it also dangerous, we need to hire someone to dig the riverbed and fill it with stones, which will require a lot of wages." Fang Ruitao had told Jian Zhongyi how to deal with these situations, so after hearing that there was a riverbed, he immediately came over and asked.

"Wages, digging the riverbed?" Fang Ruitao's eyebrows immediately stretched: "Great, I have a way." ”

Fang Ruitao's voice alarmed the people nearby, everyone looked at him with strange eyes, and even the old farmers stopped to look at him, not knowing what he was going to do when he suddenly spoke. Fang Ruitao smiled and said to the old farmers: "A few old people, the people in your family are busy with farm work, are those young people also doing it?"

One of the old farmers said boldly: "My lord, now that the spring reclamation is basically over, the seeds have been planted, and there is not much work to do. The daily weeding work is not heavy, and now we old fellows are enough to wait on these fields, and those young people can only be idle at home because they have no work to do. ”

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "That's great, if the lord hires these young men to work and distributes food every day, what do you say?"

"It's nice to have work and food. Hearing Fang Ruitao's words, several old farmers became excited, but one of them said: "What is there to be excited about, I'm afraid that the lord doesn't think so." As soon as he said this, several of the other old farmers sighed in unison.

Jian Zhongyi smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are here to do things for the lord, as long as we report this matter, the lord will definitely agree." Jian Zhongyi knew that he was powerful, and he didn't dare to reveal Fang Ruitao's identity, but he still secretly glanced at Fang Ruitao's direction as he spoke.
