[PS: Asking for tickets and collecting every day, it's also annoying to be domineering, but, new books, you have to ask!beg! beg!]

"If you had seen him deal with things at the time, you would have thought the same thing as I did. ”

"Hehe, to be so valued by Ziyu, I really have to see it. ”

"There will be surprises. However, it is a pity that although he has an extremely high IQ, he is just an ordinary man and has no aura at all. Wan Ziyu looked regretful.

"Tiandu is jealous of Hongyan, if it is really as powerful as you say, and he is a cultivator, then wouldn't he be struck by lightning every day! By the way, come with me?" Chen never dreamed that although Zhao Yuan was not struck by lightning every day, he was also struck by lightning every once in a while.

"Nope. Mrs. knows that her husband doesn't like those trivial things, so it's better for Mrs. to call the shots. Wan Ziyu grinned.

"Hmph, I'm just working hard. ”

......

"Everyone assemble in the dining hall, Madame is about to arrive. ”

As soon as Zhao Yuan finished eating, Zhu Dacang summoned the workers to gather in the canteen.

The dining hall is next to the kitchen, there are more than a dozen tables in the courtyard for eating, which can accommodate nearly 200 people, although it is a place to eat, but few people will come here to eat, everyone prefers to squat in the courtyard with a basin and squat in a circle while eating and chatting.

Another function of the canteen is to hold meetings.

Everyone gathered in the dining hall, and Zhao Yuan and Guo Axe found a corner to sit down, he didn't want to attract Chen's attention. In Zhao Yuan's eyes, Chen is an extremely shrewd woman.

It wasn't until Chen walked into the dining hall that it quieted down.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Chen's eyes swept over the dining hall, "Recently, Xujiaqiao has been an eventful time, and you must have seen it this morning, thousands of victims, I expect that this situation will get worse and worse with the cold weather." Yesterday when I came back from Tongcheng, there were people suffering from hunger and cold along the way, and people were freezing to death and starving to death on the road every day. Now, those people are gathering in big cities and small towns, and the number of hungry people in our Xujiaqiao has exceeded 2,000, and it is increasing every day......"

"Maybe you haven't understood what I'm talking about, but everyone must know the famine of Daqin in 527 and Daqin in 1255, and in that famine, the Great Qin Empire lost six million people, six million, not 600,000, not 60,000. Do you know how many people there are in Xujiaqiao? Less than 100,000, and only 200,000 people in the entire Xujiaqiao area of several hundred miles. In fact, that is only the official statistics, and it is said that the total number of people who died that time has exceeded 10 million, not including the surrounding countries that were affected. According to conservative estimates, there are 20 million ...... of deaths in the entire Zhanyun Continent."

"Do you know how those people died?"

"They, some of them starved to death, and many more, were killed. Those hungry people who were dizzy and dizzy gathered together and turned into a mob, and they were like locusts in the land of the Great Qin Empire, burning, killing and looting everywhere they passed, and there was no one for thousands of miles......"

......

"This year, history repeats itself. Floods and droughts occurred in many parts of the Great Qin Empire, and this winter was advanced by more than a month, freezing for thousands of miles, dripping into ice, making the lives of the victims even more difficult, and the hungry people gathered, which is a bad omen. ”

"Xujiaqiao is remote and has not been affected for the time being, but I want to tell you that we will definitely be affected, and if we don't take action, we will fall victim to famine. I can tell you with certainty that once the hungry people are on the verge of death, they will become a mob more terrible than the beasts, and at that time, morality and law will lose their restraint on them. ”

"Now, we need to make two preparations, first, to give as much porridge as possible for disaster relief, and second, to take up arms and be ready to fight at any time. In addition, all the workers of the 10,000 families can bring their families to the 10,000 homes, and the men live in the idle warehouses in the east courtyard and the women live in the wings of the west courtyard. Later, everyone will go home and inform the family and bring all the food and valuables......"

Looking at Chen's unhurried speech, Zhao Yuan secretly admired, this woman, really scheming, actually asked the workers to bring their families to the Wanjia compound, that is undoubtedly the fate of the workers kidnapped to the Wanjia, when the time comes, if anyone wants to be unfavorable to the Wanjia, it will naturally be a desperate resistance.

"Alright, that's it...... Hey, by the way, I don't know if you have any good suggestions for everyone to get through the difficulties together......" Chen was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered what Wan Ziyu said, stopped and looked for Zhao Yuan in the crowd.

"Zhao Yuan!"

Before Chen's words fell, the sound of Guo Axe's urn sounded. Guo Axe gets along with Zhao Yuan every day, and learns a lot of knowledge from Zhao Yuan, in Guo Axe's eyes, Zhao Yuan is the smartest person in the world.

Zhao Yuan wanted to pull Guo's axe, but it was too late, so he could only complain secretly. Zhao Yuan naturally didn't know the way, Guo Axe regarded him as a pearl covered by dust, and he couldn't wait for everyone to know that Zhao Yuan was a bright pearl.

"Zhao Yuan, do you have any suggestions?" Chen was secretly surprised, she knew that Guo Axe had a withdrawn temperament and few words, and it was possible for anyone to recommend something like this in public, but he couldn't do it, and now, it was he Guo Axe who recommended it first.

"Nope. Zhao Yuan replied very simply.

"Zhao Yuan, think about it carefully, if our family falls, this East Courtyard will fall, the East Courtyard will fall, you, and Guo Axe, all the workers here, will have no place to live. Chen said lightly.

Guo Axe, all the workers......

Zhao Yuan was stunned.

Suddenly, he actually had a trace of concern for this eastern courtyard.

Chef Luo and Chef Lei, who are often red-faced because of braggart and arguments, Sister-in-law Luo, who likes to introduce daughters-in-law, Sister-in-law Lei, who often takes care of sick workers, Zhu Dacang, who is outspoken and loud, Mr. Seven, who seems to sleep all day long, and Guo Axe, who likes to listen to him, and Jia Deaf, who only knows how to do things......

"Maybe there is......"

"If you have one, just tell it to everyone. A smile tugged at the corner of Chen's mouth.

"Madam, Xujiaqiao's land is fertile, rich in products, and there is no disaster, let alone thousands, even if it is to feed tens of thousands of people, there is no problem, as long as Madame summons the big households in Xujiaqiao to give porridge and disaster relief together, and distribute some winter clothes to protect against the cold, the hungry people will naturally not become mobs, and all problems will be solved. ”

"I have already thought of this method, and today, I have been visiting the local squires all day, but it is only perfunctory, and no one wants to really come out for disaster relief, but they all want to hoard food and make a fortune. Chen's face showed a look of anger.

"Then things are complicated, I wonder if Mrs. Lu Dao will continue to give porridge for disaster relief?"

"Yes. ”

"Could it be that the master mother thinks that the Wanjia family can feed thousands of hungry people on its own?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yuan replied affirmatively.

"Could it be that you really let our families raise those thousands of hungry people?" said Chen's face with a hint of anger.

"Yes. The grain in the warehouses of Wanjia is enough to feed thousands of people, and if Wanjia is willing to buy surplus grain from tenants at a high price, then there is no problem for Wanjia to feed tens of thousands of people. ”

"Hehe, yes, with the industry of 10,000 families, let alone thousands of people, if you just fill your stomach, even tens of thousands of people can be fed, but if you raise tens of thousands of people until the snow melts next year, our thousands of families will also go bankrupt." Besides, there are thousands of hungry people, if there is a rumor and a swarm of bees will come, our thousands of families will not be able to support all the hungry people even if they smash pots and sell iron. Chen smiled instead of being angry.

"No, no, Mrs. is wrong, Wanjia is not raised in vain, this Xujiaqiao is vast and sparsely populated, Wanjia has barren mountains and mountains in Xujiaqiao, the housemother can let those hungry people work for Wanjia to open up wasteland and build roads, dredge water conservancy, Wanjia only needs to provide cold clothes and food to fill the stomach for the hungry, and in case of a wandering mob, our manpower is also enough to defend ......"

"Open up the wasteland!" Chen's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's a win-win-win-win-win- Wanjia can obtain a large amount of cheap labor for a very small fee, and after the land is cleared, when the spring flowers bloom in the next year, many victims may stay and become tenants of Wanjia. And the barren mountain that opened up happened to come in handy. ”
