Of course, Chen Feng wanted to support the imperial court's reduction of the domain, not only to support, but also to take the opportunity of the imperial court to reduce the feudal domain.

In fact, when he learned that Gao Cheran was going to Jianbei, Chen Feng was already thinking about how to make the dispute between the court and the king of Dingchuan start as soon as possible, and how to have a good relationship with Gao Cheran.

In order to change the inherent impression that he was just a student of Wanchun in Gao Cheran's eyes, when he was sure that Li Zhifeng would try his best to protect Li Bing.

Chen Feng had already thought of using this case to once again create his image of being dedicated to the people in Gao Cheran's eyes.

So even if he knew that Li Zhifeng was going to buy, threaten, and falsify the prescription, Chen Feng pretended not to see it, and quietly waited for Li Zhifeng's verdict.

He only needs to let the people know that he also wants to avenge the martial arts, but he has no choice, and it is enough to be helpless.

Subsequently.

Chen Feng deliberately publicized this case everywhere, and then there was a caravan that he and Su Kezhi discussed some time ago, and Su Kezhi mastered the trade route of the post road, and the merchants who came and went would know about it.

In just half a month, the matter of the Qingxi County bully beating a peasant to death and being wrongfully sentenced by the county order spread from Qingxi to Wutong and even the provincial capital Xinzheng.

In just a few days after that, the news that Li Zhifeng in Qingxi County was likely to have wronged the Wu family had spread to Wutong overwhelmingly.

Other than that.

The caravan that Chen Feng and Su Kezhi said had also been formed, and Su Kezhi mastered the trade route of the post road, and the news also spread to various big cities in Jianbei through merchants, and even the provincial capital Xinzheng.

After the samurai case.

Li Zhifeng surprisingly remained calm, Chen Feng didn't have time to continue fighting with him during this time, and he also knew that Li Zhifeng was paying close attention to Gao Cheran's movements and waiting for Gao Cheran's arrival.

At the beginning of August, Chen Feng received news that their people had lost contact after entering Jianbei while tracking Gao Cheran.

He guessed that Gao Cheran most likely went to Wutong, because Chen Feng believed that the martial arts case he advertised would attract Gao Cheran's attention.

In the next few days, Chen Feng was busy on the ditch most of the time, and after the middle of the month, Chen Feng completely determined the plan, and completely handed over the matter of the canal to Shen Ruxuan. 、

The task of rebuilding Shen Ruxuan's village has ended, but in fact, the reconstruction of the disaster areas in the county is nearing completion.

It's just that as Su Kezhi said at the beginning, there will be a shortage of food in Qingxi after August.

Fortunately, Chen Feng and Su Kezhi set up a caravan early on, purchased a lot of grain from the direction of the provincial capital, and as Chen Feng said at the beginning, they reprocessed the rice and millet and sold it to the big households in the county at a high price.

As for ordinary people, even if rice and millet are not sold at a high price, ordinary people are actually reluctant to take money to buy rice.

You know, even in a good harvest year, rice is quite a luxury for ordinary people, not to mention in such a disaster year, they prefer yellow rice or even some beans.

The most expensive rice price in history should be in the Yuan Dynasty, "Food and Goods Journal" cloud: "Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, Qi land starved, more than 300 grains and stones, and many people starved to death." ”

There are cheap years, according to the "Hanshu Food and Goods Journal" cloud: "The age is abundant, the valley is five dollars to the stone, and the five buckets of rice are worth one dollar in one stone of the valley." ”

Another example is the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, during the Zhenguan period, "Tongjian": "Tang Taizong Zhenguan has been thirteen years, the age is ripe, and the rice is three dollars".

Of course, Qingxi is not in the year of the great famine, but even so, a bucket of rice is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Even Chen Feng is now unable to guarantee his workers the standards of the past, and sometimes he can only eat bread as the staple food, so naturally he doesn't have to think about rice.

Don't look at it, he copied a lot of silver from Yuan, Hu and Li's three houses, and he also made a lot of money in Heiyun Village.

But in such a disaster year, it can only be said that silver is worthless.

Moreover, in addition to the two major projects of repairing the river canal and rebuilding the disaster area, he also had his own people to support, so Chen Feng had to follow Su Kezhi's advice and reduce his expenses.

This situation lasted until after Chongyang, and the situation became even more precarious.

There is no way to make money from the caravan set up by Su Kezhi, after all, there are few rich people and many poor people, and the big families in the county can't let Su Kezhi do it.

On the contrary, the food shortage in the county has become more and more serious.

What's more, many people can't afford to buy food even when they see it.

As a last resort, Chen Feng could only ask Su Kezhi to lower the price, the transportation cost of the caravan was already very expensive, but now the price has dropped to the level of Hefeng Nian.

Thereupon.

The caravan, which had only been established for a short time, fell directly into a state of negative income.

As Su Kezhi, who adheres to the principle that even if he doesn't make money in business, he can't lose money, which is a little unacceptable, so he completely threw the caravan to others to manage, and he pinned his hopes on the greenhouse that Chen Feng had said before.

In fact, in the middle of August, Chen Feng has shoveled out dozens of acres of land, and dug out a kiln, through the flue, the greenhouse has been built, at the beginning of this month, Chen Feng selected watermelon, cucumber, spinach and cabbage to plant.

Watermelon, cucumber and spinach are out-of-season vegetables in winter, and cabbage is normally harvested in autumn and can be stored until winter.

In ancient times, it was rare to eat fresh vegetables in winter, and there were three general storage methods, one was to make vegetables into dried vegetables, the other was to make salted pickles, and the third was to know the well-known kiln vegetables, this method had been vigorously promoted in the Song Dynasty.

But Qingxi's harvest this year is very poor, and if Chen Feng can bring out fresh Chinese cabbage in winter, it will definitely sell well.

Shen Ruxuan's mother had never heard of this planting method, so she took the initiative to ask for it.

And Chen Feng also happened to lack an experienced agricultural person to take care of him, so he agreed, and at the same time found a few other farmer uncles to take care of him.

Ever since he saw the seed go down to the ground, Su Kezhi came every day.

When I came to the greenhouse test site today, I didn't see Chen Feng, so I asked Shen's mother: "Auntie, where is my eldest brother?" Didn't show up today? ”

Mother Shen was observing the cabbage seedlings planted in the greenhouse, "You said master?" I haven't seen it today. ”

Originally, when Chen Feng's house was built, Shen's mother wanted to leave with Shen Ruxuan, but Chen Feng was finally stayed.

Later, Lingming Village was relocated and rebuilt, Shen's mother made up her mind to go back, Chen Feng left Shen Ruxuan to help him take care of affairs, and finally had to leave Shen's mother for the sake of cooking.

Since then, Shen's mother has regarded herself as a subordinate of the Chen Mansion and called Chen Feng the master, and Chen Feng really can't change it.

When Su Kezhi heard this, he was a little annoyed, "This guy, the caravan has lost money, the post road business is also sluggish, and the money spent every day is negative, so he relies on these dozens of acres of land to get some money back, and he still has the leisure to do something else, but he doesn't care about it." ”

Mother Shen looked at Su Kezhi's complaining look and was very surprised.

In her impression, Su Kezhi has always been very obedient to Chen Feng, and said with a smile: "Master Su, don't worry, I heard Miss Weiyang say, it seems that someone came from the Guannei, and the master went over, as if he was with this... This greenhouse also has something to do with it. ”
