While giving soup, Wanjia began to hand out registration cards that were made overnight per person. As long as you fill in your name, gender, age, family members, original household registration address, etc., you can register on the spot.
Zhao Yuan found that in addition to a dozen wooden tables for registration, there were many people in front of Wanjia's house guiding or helping illiterate victims fill out cards.
At noon, thousands of victims who gathered in front of Wanjia Gate had been registered and taken to subordinate shops to wait for news.
There are 2,370 people registered, including more than 400 old, weak, sick and disabled people, and nearly 2,000 able-bodied laborers.
The Wan family first counted the people according to their age and place of origin, and then divided them into groups to avoid causing trouble due to too many people from the same hometown, and to facilitate management.
Nearly 2,000 people were divided into 22 groups, one hundred people per group. The more than 400 old, weak, sick and disabled were also placed in 20 groups and were assigned to do some light work, such as cooking, washing, sewing, and mending.
of.
At this time, Wanjia demonstrated the shrewdness and efficiency of a businessman.
On the second day, 15 of the groups of victims started working and were taken to the barren mountains where Wanjia belonged to camp. About 600 people from the other 5 groups began to do logistics work, transporting daily supplies and agricultural tools, etc.
.
On the third day, 15 camps were set up in the wild. Although they were not comfortable, they were able to provide shelter from wind and rain.
Winter clothes and bedding are distributed according to the head of each person, and they can eat white steamed buns every day, and occasionally meat. The victims are very satisfied. For them who have experienced the cruel cold and hunger, this is already a paradise.
Life.
On the fourth day, 15 groups officially started work, and a vigorous winter land reclamation campaign began. The victims were very enthusiastic about work, because Wanjia promised that all the land being reclaimed would be rented by the victims with priority.
At the same time, Wanjia's purchase of grain at high prices was also in full swing.
At this time, there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year.
Xujiaqiao has returned to calm, and the victims who gathered on the streets have disappeared. Occasionally, there are victims who live in Xujiaqiao, and Wanjia will immediately resettle them.
The other wealthy families in Xujiaqiao were all sarcastic about Wanjia's actions.
Everyone knows what it means to feed more than 2,000 people. If one person eats two kilograms of grain a day, then Wanjia will consume at least more than five thousand kilograms a day, not including winter clothes, bedding and other daily necessities.
overhead.
More than 5,000 jins per day, more than 50,000 jins in ten days, and half a million jins in a hundred days. Until spring, Wanjia will consume at least 500,000 jins of grain, and it will take three months to sow the seeds. In other words,
Wanjia’s harvest season is at least half a year away.
In half a year, one million kilograms of grain will be consumed.
Each disaster victim has two sets of daily necessities such as winter clothes and shoes, which costs even more money.
The most deadly thing is that the number of victims in Wanjia is increasing every day.
Everyone is watching Wanjia's joke.
While the Wanjia family was buying grain aggressively, some large households took the opportunity to raise prices. In particular, Majia, the largest household in Xujiaqiao, even drove up grain prices.
Although the Ma family has a large business, because the Ma family is engaged in high value-added business, its influence in Xujiaqiao is actually not as good as that of the Wan family. They have long been jealous of the Wan family, especially the recent salt scandal, because
Wanjia stepped in to save the market, leaving the Ma family with a large backlog of salt that, conservatively, they would not be able to sell for several years. Most importantly, it also earned the Ma family the nickname "a black-hearted businessman."
It seems that intentionally or unintentionally, the Ma family began to intervene in Wanjia's business areas, taking the opportunity to crack down on Wanjia's business activities in Xujiaqiao.
Ma's family began to cut prices and even sell off some non-short supplies at a loss, making it impossible for Wanjia's East Branch's inventory of supplies to be turned into cash.
Wanjia's funds began to have problems.
There is no doubt that the Wanjia is rich. For a large family like the Wanjia, purchasing one million kilograms of grain is not a problem. However, things are different now. In the past, the Wanjia could purchase grain without cash at all.
Now, following the example of the Ma family, some tenants not only want cash, but also take the opportunity to drive up prices.
In fact, Wanjia not only needs to buy food, but also needs to buy a large amount of winter clothes and bedding. These things are more expensive than food. After all, they are more than 2,000 poor and ragged victims. In this cold season, they need
A warm winter coat and thick quilt.
In fact, it's not that Wanjia doesn't have money, but that Xujiaqiao doesn't have much liquidity, and Wanjia's property exists in various forms, not cash.
In Wanjia, there are also some value-preserving items such as gold, silver, jewelry and crystals, but now the transportation is inconvenient and the market is not smooth. In a small market town like Xujiaqiao, it is impossible for those things to be turned into cash. Even if they are to be sold, the buyer
It is also very limited, and it is nothing more than a wealthy family like the Ma family and the Xiao family.
Big families such as the Ma family, Xiao family, etc. are adding insult to injury, hoping that the Wan family will collapse, so naturally they will not help the Wan family to tide over the difficulties. In fact, many big families are already ready to carve up the Wan family.
Now, purchasing food and other supplies requires cash, which is a headache for Wanjia.
Zhao Yuan did not know that the Chen family was already in dire straits. He overestimated the financial resources of the Wan family and underestimated the intricate relationships of the Xu family.
Today was already the seventh day he had diarrhea. Zhao Yuan lay on the bed early and waited for that heart-wrenching moment.
This is the last day.
Zhao Yuan, who was lying on the bed, breathed a long sigh of relief. The feeling of life being worse than death was finally over.
It was two o'clock and Wan Ling'er hadn't come yet, but Zhao Yuan started to feel pain. He rushed to the toilet to relieve himself for half an hour. When he returned to the room, Wan Ling'er was already sitting quietly by the bed.
Although Zhao Yuan noticed something strange about Wan Ling'er, he was in too much pain, so he managed to climb onto the bed and urged Wan Ling'er to massage his meridians quickly.
Wan Ling'er didn't say anything and quietly massaged and unblocked Zhao Yuan with spiritual energy.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Yuan felt a little more comfortable. He found that Wan Ling'er had not said a word since he came in and was in a very low mood. This was very different from the previous chatter.
"Are you interested?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"Uncle Tianxing is here."
"Who is Uncle Tianxing?"
"My uncle."
"..."
"My mother wants Uncle Tianxing and I to leave Xujiaqiao."
"The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, why go at this time?" Zhao Yuan was silent for a while and asked.
"That's right." Wan Ling'er sighed and said, "I don't know why, and Uncle Tianxing doesn't know either. It seems to be a temporary decision made by my mother."
"when are we leaving?"
"Zhao Yuan, what should I do? I don't want to get married, I don't want to get married..." Wan Ling'er suddenly lost control and screamed.
"Don't make any sound." Zhao Yuan sat up suddenly and covered Wan Ling'er's mouth.
"Woo...Zhao Yuan, you have to help me, you must help me, I don't want to get married..." Wan Ling'er lay on Zhao Yuan and cried.
"Don't cry, don't cry, there will be a way..." Zhao Yuan carefully patted Ling'er's shoulder, his heart beating wildly again, and he felt the warmth radiating from Ling'er's soft and delicate body.
"What can you do?" Wan Lingren sat up suddenly, with tears in his eyes.
"Let me think about it... there is something wrong with this matter. If you want to go on a blind date, few women will take the initiative to go to the man, and it is without the man knowing... Hey... now is the time to celebrate the New Year again
...By the way, it must be your mother who doesn’t want you to stay in Xujiaqiao and wants to get you away!"
"Why do you want to push me away?" Wan Ling'er wiped away her tears with a puzzled look on her face.
"Why should I push you away...unless...unless...unless you are in danger!" Zhao Yuan's body trembled.
"What danger am I in?"
"Maybe you are not in danger." Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Your Wan family is in danger, and your mother wants you to leave first. By the way, what happened in your family recently?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"Nothing happened. Everything went smoothly. My mother just said she had no money and took away all my private money..."
"Wanjia has no money?" Zhao Yuan was stunned.
