A few members of the Cheng family sat in the hall like Mount Tai, there was a kind of I should do something, but it seemed that there was nothing to do, Xiao Siniang stroked her forehead, and said what she said in Yuanfu again, saying, "Don't sit in the house, Dad, how much food is there at home?" ”

What is the most important thing when the disaster comes?

That has to be food!

On weekdays, it is okay, but at this time, food will inevitably be in short supply, and food prices will skyrocket.

I didn't know about the grain storage in the house, and seeing that everyone was confused, Xiao Siniang, who had experienced the earthquake, took a deep breath, "From now on, this family will be managed by me and Sister A for the time being." ”

"Uncle Wang, now call all the people in the palace to the main hall."

Uncle Wang hurriedly went to arrange, and Xiao He, who was holding Xiao Chengqing, opened his mouth, "We haven't encountered such a big earth cow turning over, and we don't know what will happen later?" Just now your father said that he wanted to arrange for someone to lay the roof tiles, for fear that it would rain at night. ”

"It's just that the tiles on this roof are not easy to buy, and I don't know if I can buy them now."

Xiao Siniang looked up at the roof, had a plan in her heart, and briefly introduced the general situation after the earthquake, "This time the capital is so big that the earthquake is felt, I don't know where the epicenter is, and how is the disaster?" ”

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, this is an opportunity for their Cheng family to make meritorious contributions, the Cheng family has to be hard to strike iron, the Cheng family wants to gain a firm foothold in the capital completely, so that everyone does not dare to despise it, they must rely on their own rise, it is not feasible to rely on some small tricks.

"Dad, when my brother comes back, you have to take stock of the silver and rice that can be mobilized at home, I guess the emperor should summon you."

Xijin is a powerful country, but earlier everywhere to fight, the cost is not small, and I heard that a few years ago in the attack on Beixiang spent a large amount of treasury silver, but failed to occupy the richest place in Beixiang, all the advantages were taken by Dongshu, after fighting for so long in vain to Dongshu to make a wedding dress, the emperor was angry for two days.

Now that the spring ploughing has just passed, and there are still a few months left for the next crop of grain, the treasury must not be rich, and it is time for them to behave.

Soon Uncle Wang brought everyone in the mansion over, these people still looked scared, Xiao Siniang did not delay the time, and directly announced that she and Cheng Erniang would be housekeepers next, "Steward Zhang, you take people to clean up the gardens in the house, and the people from each courtyard cooperate to carry the bed over, and the curtain is drawn between the men and women to avoid it, the master sleeps in the middle, and the rest of the beds are outside, you plan and arrange it yourself." ”

"Escort Liu, you have to arrange for your people to strengthen patrols."

"Steward Xiao Liu, you wait and take the silver to go out to buy, buy as much rice, grain, medicinal materials and other things as possible, and count the grain in the house as soon as possible and report it."

"Uncle Wang, you arrange for someone to pave all the tiles in the main courtyard, if you can't buy them outside, take them from the roof of the side courtyard, and arrange a few people to clean up the abandoned courtyard in the north, but all the people in our house, if the house outside falls and there is no place to live, you can take their family members to settle temporarily."

"The rest of the people will obey the arrangement of your steward and survive these few days."

With Xiao Siniang's arrangement, the people in the house suddenly had the backbone, and they were even more grateful for being able to take over the people in their family to help, and immediately a few people wanted to take leave to go back to see the situation, and Xiao Siniang was also approved.

When the families in the capital were still panicking, the large and small stewards of the Shunyi Bofu had already begun to work with people.

Before the people could react, the grain store had not had time to increase the price, and the grain in the shop was bought out by Shunyi Bofu, for fear of taking advantage of the chaos to be robbed, the grain shop shopkeeper not only sold the grain happily, but also arranged someone to help deliver the goods, and then closed the door steadily.

When the first cart of grain was sent back to the house, Cheng Youyi and Du Linxiang came back, and the two came back from outside the city, "The houses of those ordinary people outside the city have collapsed a lot, and the people are crying out for heaven and land, and they don't know what will happen next?" ”

Knowing that arrangements had been made in the house, Xiao He also arranged for the people in the yard of the husband and wife to pack up all the valuables, so he breathed a sigh of relief, Du Linxiang said that when she was a child, she also encountered the ground cow when she visited her relatives at home, "It's not a turnover, it's a few days after a few days, some houses didn't fall down, and they also fell in the back." ”

"Xiao Si's arrangement is right, this house can't be lived in for the time being."

The family sat down in the courtyard of Xiao He and his wife, discussing the next plan, Xiao Siniang took the lead in speaking, "I have asked people to go to the city to buy food, even if there is a ground movement in the future, it is not as powerful as today, the problem is how to appease the people and rebuild, if this ground movement cannot respond quickly and come up with an effective decree, I am afraid that it will not end for a while, big brother and sister-in-law, I think this is our opportunity." ”

She briefly analyzed the current situation of the Cheng family, when the emperor rewarded her father with the title, he did not say that it could be passed on, that is, if her father was gone, the plaque of this uncle's mansion would be replaced by Cheng Mansion, which is also one of the reasons why people in the capital do not think much of the Cheng family.

We must take this opportunity to share the emperor's worries, earn more credit, and get a little reward in the future. ”

Cheng Youyou mentioned a thing, saying that Dongshu also encountered ground movements a few years ago, Dongshu's newspaper responded quickly, calling on the people to donate money and materials, and the major merchants took action together, and the ground movement that had suffered heavy losses quickly calmed down, "It is reported that Emperor Dongshu personally went to the newspaper to thank the people, and Emperor Dongshu's reputation reached its peak among the people with this matter, and I guess our emperor will do the same." ”

About Dongshu, about the newspaper, Xiao Siniang has heard too much these days, and she and Li suspect that Dongshu is her fellow countryman, and she is in the Dongshu royal family.

"I don't think the emperor will do that."

Xiao Siniang did not hide her thoughts, "This is the same as planting crops, you have to serve the crops before you can harvest food, before the Dongshu ground moves, the newspaper in the east hub should be in operation, the first step to lay the foundation, some things need time to imperceptibly influence, the people of Xijin have not bathed in the emperor's grace before this, no one has guided our family and country that we should love, our people in Xijin are all a family of such an idea, suddenly let people donate money and materials, how is it possible?" ”

"What's more, the people in Beijing have also been affected by the disaster this time, and they are still waiting for someone to help them, and then let them pay money and goods, I am afraid that the people's grievances will boil."

At that time, fame will not reach the peak, but fall to the bottom.

Cheng Youyoule gave her a thumbs up, "Xiao Si is getting smarter and smarter." ”

I knew that Xiao Si would become smart if he was beaten with a stick, and he, who was the eldest brother, must have been the one who would have knocked it down.

"So what do we do next?"

Cheng Youyi was a little excited, after all, he hadn't done anything like fighting for credit.
