388, food crisis

"Second lady, this is a deed of sale by ingenuity, which has been registered with the official office."

Mai Dong respectfully handed over a contract to Xia Ning, and when he bought Yang Qiaoxin, he didn't have time to go through the relevant procedures because he had to rush out of the city.

After that, it was delayed because of other things, until recently, there was no work in the village, and the master asked him to go to the town to inquire about the news, so he handled the matter by the way.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Xia Ning took the deed of sale and put it in her bag, but in fact, it was put into the porcelain basin space, and no matter how well it was hidden outside, there was no porcelain pot space to be safer.

"It's all small that should be done." Mai Dong's attitude became more and more humble, in his heart, Miss Xia was his master mother, the wife of his master, and he should be as loyal and respectful to her as he was to his master.

Even if the people in the village call her 'Teacher Xia', 'Miss Xia', or 'Minister Xia', there is always only one title here, which is why he has always insisted on calling 'Second Lady'.

"Go wash up, it's going to be dinner." Xia Ning explained, and in the afternoon, he drove to the town with Huzi and the two to inquire about the news, and it was not easy to run around outside on such a cold day.

After dinner, everyone in the Song family did not rush off the table, but continued to sit in their positions steadily, wanting to hear the news that Mai Dong had inquired about today.

Baiyun Village is good at everything, but it is too remote, and it is the farthest village from Pingsha Town among the surrounding villages, so if no one takes the initiative to go out of the village to inquire, they are really isolated here, and they don't know anything about what is happening outside.

As a last resort, they decided to go out after a while to inquire about the situation in the outside world, so as not to know anything important, which would be very disadvantageous for them, because they would lack the opportunity and time to prepare.

"Mai Dong, what's going on outside?" Song Shiyao sat on the upper seat and was the first to ask.

Hearing this, Mai Dong's expression suddenly sank, "General Yu, outside. I'm afraid it's not good. ”

What do you mean by that? What's wrong? ”

Song Shiyao frowned, he just asked as usual, but he didn't expect that there was really a situation.

“.” Everyone present instantly sat upright, waiting for the next step with solemn expressions.

Mai Dong told the truth, "After entering the town today, I found that many shops on the street were closed, and these closed shops were basically dealing in grain and oil, and some small restaurants were also closed.

The first few times I went to the town, I saw a lot of small vendors on the street, but today there is no trace, the whole town is deserted, I specially asked the surrounding shops to inquire.

I heard that it was a heavy snowfall in Shaanzhou for half a month, which caused a serious shortage of food and medicinal materials in the entire prefecture, so that the grain on our side was bought by the rich families in Shaanzhou.

And Cangshan Town has not much food, and it was cut off for a while, so the grain shop in the town had to close, in addition, I also heard that Shuzhou is also seriously short of food due to drought. ”

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my God~ Why is it so serious?"

"Blizzard for the second half of the month? Isn't the situation of the common people very bad? ”

"Then what is the situation in other counties and towns in our Fucheng? Is the grain also bought out? ”

"Hey, this world is really unsettled and rising again and again~"

"Shuzhou has been in drought for more than half a year, and there has been no movement from above until now?"

"What do those dog officers do to eat? Is it just to watch the people die tragically? ”

Song Shiyao raised his hand and signaled, "Okay, calm down first, what's the use of us being angry here?" Let's discuss what we should do next. ”

Song Shaoqin said slowly, "I estimate that there is already a food crisis outside, and even now there are more and more refugees on the road, and many refugees have fled to Ningzhou and the capital before, and the more refugees on the road, the easier it is to breed problems."

I don't think Ningzhou will open the city gate to receive those refugees at all, so if I guess correctly, the refugees who fled later may be transferred to Nanzhou halfway, after all, compared to several other prefectures, Nanzhou is not a fatal problem except for being poor and remote. ”

"Oops! Not to mention that this is really possible. Song Muyao slapped his thigh violently.

Song Anbang also analyzed, "The second brother is right, Shaanzhou and our Nanzhou are next to each other, and when it comes to the point of running out of food, the people will definitely flee here, and the weather is still so bad, how can ordinary people survive?" In my opinion, the situation is very bad. ”

There has always been a natural and man-made disaster, and the most pitiful people are the people.

The conditions in Shaanzhou are better than those in Nanzhou, a few months ago, there was a plague and bandit robbery, and now there is a rare blizzard, I'm afraid that many people have a hard time, right?

To the south of Nanzhou is Guanzhou, which is in rebellion, and further south of Guanzhou is Ningzhou, which is rich in products, and then Shuzhou, which is suffering from drought.

According to the route, the first choice of refugees in Shaanxi must be Nanzhou City, and the people in Guanzhou who want to avoid the military disaster can choose to go south to Ningzhou or go south to Nanzhou.

As for the refugees in Shuzhou, it is also possible to go straight to Nanban, in short, if the problems of several other prefectures and cities are not solved or alleviated, then on the occasion of the New Year, the entire Nanban land may usher in refugees from major prefectures.

“.” Hearing this, the female dependents couldn't help but sigh, especially for the people who were affected by the disaster.

Those rich families and those who have access may still be able to survive, but how can those ordinary and even poor people support themselves?

It's been a blizzard in Shaanzhou for the second half of the month, and they have only received the news now, and they don't know how many people have died because of it now?!

"Shall we stock up on some food too?"

Xu Wanqing suddenly spoke, she is now in charge of the kitchen, and the Song family is not short of food at present, because Xiao Ning is here, and their family's daily food is not bad.

But now that this incident has happened, she is a little uneasy, and she doesn't know the situation in Xiao Ning's hometown, and she is not sure whether she can always provide food and other supplies.

Now that there is a shortage of food outside, she is worried that they will also have no food to eat in the future, after all, Xiao Ning's funding is not the same as the food shortage in real life, so she has to make more plans, just in case.

Song Shiyao said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you can't buy food if you want to buy it now." ”

Not to mention how much grain stocks are still in counties and towns, even in today's world, the price of this grain has already risen to a sky-high price, and ordinary people can't afford it at all.
