The arrival of the Qingcheng County Order was just a small wave in the life of Ye Zhen's family, and it did not cause too much impact.

Compared with the remote and poor barbarian county, the people and prosperity of Qingcheng are much better, and they are completely different.

As a result, local farmers are more likely to grow food than sugarcane.

After all, taxes are collected grain, and the price of sugarcane has always been lower than that of grain, and the Qingcheng County Order is not like the Barbarian County Order, and he personally went to do the brown sugar business, which also led to the fact that sugarcane did not sell well in Qingcheng.

Despite Fu Ru'an's guarantee to let people from several surrounding counties buy sugarcane and transport it over, Ye Zhen couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

"Our sugar factory has been in operation for three or four days, but when it comes to output, it is still far less than the output in the village."

Sighing helplessly, she looked at Xie Yunshu beside her, her face full of worry.

The sugar workshop in Manyi County is run by Aunt Huang's family, and Ye Zhen doesn't have to worry.

What bothers her now is the new workshop that has just started in Qingcheng, and the sugarcane raw materials are far from keeping up with the consumption rate of the workshop.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, our business is not in a hurry."

Gently pulling Ye Zhen to sit down beside him, Xie Yunshu was still very calm, and he didn't seem to be worried about the plight of the sugar factory at all.

"The supply from Aunt Huang's side tends to be stable, and Fu Ruan is not in a hurry for us to increase production, so why should you worry about it?"

Stretching out his hand, Xie Yunshu gently smoothed the wrinkles between Ye Zhen's eyebrows and comforted her.

The rock sugar business is a cooperation between them and Fu Ru'an, and those who are responsible for sales are not in a hurry to increase production, so why do they need to be responsible for themselves?

After figuring out this truth, the sense of urgency in Ye Zhen's heart weakened slightly.

Just as the conversation between the two had stopped, the door was opened from the outside, and a familiar figure walked in from the outside.

"Did you hear anything?"

As soon as he saw Lin Bin's figure, Xie Yunshu stood up and looked at him, with a hint of urgency in his words.

Entering the house, Lin Bin nodded slightly, and told all the news he had heard when he went out today.

"I went to several nearby villages and saw terrible things. More than half of the villages in Qingcheng have been hit by insect infestations, and the fields have not been harvested, and the people are almost unable to eat."

Qingcheng is said to be more than twice as large as the county seat of Manyi, so there are a lot of small villages around, which is one of the reasons why the county order of Qingcheng has always been jealous of the county order of the county seat of Manyi.

The more villages there are, the more taxes you have, and the thicker your oil and water are.

It's just that natural disasters struck this year, although the first village to be hit by the disaster was between the two county seats, but the barbarian county had Ye Hao as a cheating weapon.

Under Ye Hao's effective advice, the loss of the barbarian county was minimized, but Qingcheng was not so lucky, almost more than half of the villages were affected by the insect plague, and the crops were not harvested.

That's it, because the local county order is very smart, and when the insect plague was not fully rolled out, a "righteous extermination of relatives" came directly, so that all the fields that were affected by the insect plague were directly burned down.

This is the most effective way to deal with insect plagues in this era, after all, ancient times are not like modern times, there are various pesticides, which can exterminate insect pests.

Even if the Qingcheng County Order later compensated and opened a warehouse for disaster relief, he was also selfish in the end, and he could only do superficial work, how could the compensation be able to support these people for a year?

Hearing this, Ye Hao showed an unbearable look on her face, and she felt a little blamed in her heart.

If he had been smarter and passed on the method of dealing with locusts to Fu Ru'an, would he still be able to save the people of Qingcheng?

In this troubled world, all the powerful are only for their own interests, who cares about the lives of those ordinary people?

Even if it is this Qingcheng County Order, it seems that the reputation is much better than that of the Barbarian County Order, but after all, he is still an egoist.

Ye Hao's transformation, Xie Yunshu

Zhao Yongke built it here, which is much more convenient than Lu Lu's meadow.

Just next to this small meadow there is a dirt road that leads to the main road in and out of Xiushantun.

It is the road that the people of Huilongtun and Xiushantun often walk into the mountain to fight the halberd, only a few places of potholes washed out by the rain are slightly filled, and the car pulling the material can directly reach this place, although it is slightly detoured, but it completely saves the trouble of building the road.

Zhao Yongke simply packed up, and according to Lu Lu's requirements, he took the certificate of approval to settle here in the district, and also carried a semi-automatic shotgun, and walked towards his horse with a saddle.

Tie the saddle, Zhao Yongke turned over and got on the horse, followed behind Lu Lu, and walked along the mountain forest towards the back mountain of Xiushan Tun, preparing to fork from the mountain road where Sun Hanwei and his family had released bees to Xiushan Tuntunkou.

The time was still early, the two of them did not walk fast, riding on horses, carefully avoiding the branches and leaves in the forest, more than 20 minutes, the two arrived at the mouth of Xiushan Tuntun, shook the reins, and drove the horses to trot into the tunzi.

didn't go far, and met Zhang Shaofeng riding a bicycle out, Lu Lu grabbed the reins: "Brother Feng, are you going to the district again?"

"Yes, the district called again to say that there was a meeting to discuss the matter of protecting the autumn, listen to the meaning of the above, want to unify the time, joint action, to prevent this tunzi from driving away another tunzi, divide the area, kill as many as you can, and drive them to the mountains as much as possible, so as not to cause disaster. It's about time and zoning."

Zhang Shaofeng jumped off the bicycle and said, "I have to run several times every year for spring and autumn hunting, and I am used to it. You haven't come here during the spring hunt, even if you dodge, if you hunt in the autumn, you can't run, this time, give our militia brothers in Xiushantun a long face, we are the most remote in the mountains, and we have been bullied before."

Have you been bullied before?

Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Is there anyone who dares to bully you?"

"It's not on the surface. If I dare to come up openly and find a reason for me, I will directly dare to kill them, but I have never been able to catch the opportunity and come up with no evidence...... Those deflated calves, to put it bluntly, are bullying us that there are no good hunters in the tun."

Zhang Shaofeng said hatefully.

Being able to suffocate Zhang Shaofeng like this, Lu Lu began to be curious: "What's the matter, Brother Feng?"

"Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about last year's autumn protection, in this mountain, there is our Xiushantun, and the next Huilongtun......

Zhang Shaofeng pointed to the black ridge diagonally opposite: "Over Songling, there are Qingshantun and Fuxintun over there, by the way, Wu Mingwei, the security director of Qingshantun, you know, and Sun Changqing, the security director of Fuxintun, just these two old calves, I still hate them so much."

Last year, there was no unified arrangement in the district, but a time was set, and the directors of each tun security department were asked to arrange for people to do it themselves. They were good, they should have driven the wild things to the mountains, but they were like an appointment, and they drove the wild things to our side, across the pine ridge, which was the boundary of our tun, and harmed a lot of our crops.

Our tuntunzi should also be smaller, the militia is understaffed, no one knows how to hunt, and there are a lot more wild things in the mountains than before, so a large area of land can not be taken care of at all. In order to get rid of those wild things, our people suffered a lot, spent a lot of time, and two brothers were injured a lot.

I came to the door to scold, but these two deflated calves insisted that they didn't do it, and said that wild animals are not livestock, they don't want to pick up how they want, they are long-legged and can run, who can control it...... No way, no evidence. I'm going to have to have a plausible reason for them."

The more Zhang Shaofeng spoke, the more annoyed he became.

Lu Lu frowned slightly and asked, "What about this year's spring hunt?" They didn't do that?"

"I was in the hands of last year, of course I can't wait this year, I organized the brothers, two days ahead of the district, to get the wild things to the Pine Ridge, but there are many families, it's no different from giving meat to people......

As a result, these two calves went to the district for a meeting, and in front of everyone, they said that I acted without permission and messed around, and then they were called by the district leaders to invite them to tea. Turning back to the two shriveled calves, he said, he

noticed it at the first time, turned around and patted her on the back gently, and comforted:

"It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself."

This lady is good in all aspects, but she is too kind, and she always takes these responsibilities on herself.

Knowing that the other party was comforting herself, Ye Hao pulled out a reluctant smile towards Xie Yunshu, and then looked at Lin Bin again.

"Now that the crops in the fields have been burned, haven't those people thought of planting again?"

It is true that the scorched land has lost a lot of fertility, but in ancient times, there were few people and many lands, coupled with the remoteness of Lingnan, the land was vast and thin, and it was not impossible to replant in another place.

Ordinary people live on the land, and even if they lose a year's harvest, they should not wait for death.

Lin Bin also thought of this and inquired.

"It's not the season to grow food, and their families don't have enough food to eat, so where are the seeds to be planted."

The people of Qingcheng mainly grow grain, and whether it is the main types of grains now, or the modern grain planting, they are not planted in summer.

Ye Hao figured this out, but at the same time, her brows furrowed.

In fact, she thought it was strange before, obviously with the climate of Lingnan, it is more suitable for growing sugarcane, but wheat is very unsuitable for the mainstream grain of this era.

Regardless of the climate or the land, the harvest of wheat must be greatly reduced, so why do these people have to die at this point?

She turned her head to look at Xie Yunshu, pursed her lips, and said what she thought.

"You say, if I went and persuaded these people to plant sugar cane and give them good seeds, would I succeed?"

If you are planting sugarcane, then you don't have to pick the time, and you can plant it in this season.

What's more, Ye Hao is still a good seed that is exchanged for merit points from the system space, which is better than modern seeds, not only has a very high survival rate, increases the yield, and greatly shortens the planting time.

If it weren't for exposing Song Wan*** and punishing the pair of female godmothers, the system would have given a lot of rewards, and she still wouldn't have the confidence to exchange good breeds so generously.

But for her too naïve idea, Xie Yunshu frowned without a trace, but still chose to support the other party on his face.

"You can give it a try."

Although he felt that Ye Hao's idea was a little too idealistic, he couldn't hit the morale of his mother, no matter what, the other party was also thinking about the people, right?

In terms of caring for the people, Xie Yunshu had to admit that he was indeed inferior to the other party.

Ye Hao is a resolute and resolute character, just do what she says, and immediately pull Lin Bin to take her to the village.

As for Xie Yunshu, there is still Zhao Yi at home who needs to be taken care of, and they don't have to worry about leaving a child alone at home.

What's more, now that Zhao Yi's identity has been revealed, it turns out to be the prince of Cheng'an, and with this identity, Ye Hao's family has to care more about his safety.

After his leg injury was healed, Xie Yunshu was much calmer than when he was first exiled, no longer complaining like before, and full of hatred for the entire royal family.

As the son of a former prime minister, he is still clear about some old news about the royal family. For example, King Cheng'an, whose fief is in Lingnan, has been an unfavored prince since the time of the first emperor.

Even if he excludes the current saint, which of the other princes is not more arrogant and arrogant than him?

King Cheng'an is notoriously low-key and generous, and has never quarreled with others or competed for power. But despite this, doesn't the Holy One regard him as a thorn in his side?

Especially the old emperor couldn't give birth to children himself, and the other princes each had incense inheritance, which made him hate it even more.

The whole of Lingnan is said to belong to the fief of King Cheng'an, but in order to make himself not protrude like several other princes and be targeted by the emperor, in fact, King Cheng'an only controls Chengpingzhou County and the four nearby counties where he lives.

As for the other Lingnan counties, to be honest, there is not much point in being in charge.

Lingnan is remote, and the tax is small, so this little tax adds up to estimate

It can't even compare to a rich county town in the Jiangnan region.

But fortunately, the Jiangnan region is not in the hands of any prince, and even the saint has to give the county guards in the Jiangnan region a few thin noodles, after all, this is the bulk of the annual tax revenue.

This is also why Lord Xia dared to say that Fu Ru'an should return to the Jiangnan region, even if there was chaos in the DPRK, Fu Ru'an would be safe and sound.

In the Jiangnan area, the Xia family and the Fu family are like the soil emperors.

After coming to Qingcheng, Xie Yunshu first inquired about Fu Ru'an's origin and found out his background.

After all, he had been living in the capital before, and he didn't know much about other regions, so he didn't react to who Fu Ru'an was at the first time, he just thought he was an extremely wealthy businessman's son.

But when he learned that the Jiangnan County Guard was Fu Ru'an's maternal uncle, he realized that the seemingly sick and weak boy had a different background.

Maybe even Ye Hao didn't know that she had inadvertently hugged such a golden thigh, and even held the other party's life in her hands.

However, she is not the kind of villain who can calculate others.

Qingcheng is much more convenient than the county seat of Barbarians.

In the past, when they came to the county seat and then returned to the village, it would take an hour to say the least, and this was still a carriage.

And from Qingcheng to the surrounding villages, it is enough to set up a carriage and a cup of tea, which is simply fast.

It's just that when she arrived in the village, Ye Hao obviously noticed that it was different.

Not to mention the village where I lived before, it was Xingnan Village next door, which was also a thriving appearance, and each family made a daily income and rest every day.

You can look at the village in front of you again, the same dirt road, the same scattered houses, but it is difficult to see one of the figures, like an abandoned village.

But a closer look reveals that the houses in this village are actually much better than in Xingnan Village.

Many of the villages in the county town of Manyi are still thatched houses or wooden houses, but there are still brick houses built here and there!

Although it is not the kind of blue brick and tile house of Ye Hao's family, it is much better than ordinary wooden houses!

"Almost all the villagers stay in the house, and the village chief's house is over here."

Lin Bin, who had been here a long time ago, guided Ye Hao all the way to the village chief's house.

The village chief's house is one of the brick houses, and there is a small courtyard at the door, and the door is not closed.

Ye Hao knocked on the hidden wooden door very politely, and said loudly:

"Is anyone home, please?"

The old man, who was squatting in the courtyard and sighing, raised his head, with a slightly puzzled look on his face, and then got up and walked to the door.

"Who?"

Due to the infestation, all the fields in the village were destroyed, and all the capable people or young adults in the village went to the county seat to find work.

After all, the land is gone, the crops are gone, but the family still has to eat.

The little relief food distributed by the government is not enough for the family to eat for three days, and if they don't find a way, will the whole family wait for death?
