Master Yang was extremely excited when he successfully bought food.
After the food security entered the city and the city gate was closed, his anxious heart finally calmed down.
Quickly pulling the grain back to the granary, looking at the granary that was filled again, Mr. Yang finally saw the long-lost smile on his face.
Of course, the same is true for Nangong Ye.
Regardless of the many doubts surrounding the entire transaction tonight, it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, the food is in hand.
With one thousand taels, I can buy back more than 30,000 kilograms of grain, which will give the people a bowl of porridge a day. It's worth it.
When they returned to the small courtyard, Tao Qiqi thought that everyone was probably asleep, but unexpectedly they were all waiting for them, and even left dinner for them.
Eating the cold meal, Tao Qiqi couldn't help but sigh: "A child with a mother is like a treasure, just right."
"How's it going? Has the food problem been solved?" Tao Qiniang looked at Tao Qiqi and asked gently.
Tao Qiqi nodded, took a sip of porridge and replied: "Yeah, it's solved. Third brother made a big deal this time, one thousand taels, and bought more than 30,000 kilograms of grain."
Tao Qiniang raised her lips after hearing this, "The common people are lucky to have met such a good prince like King Pingyang. During this period, thanks to King Pingyang, he was looking for food everywhere. Now we finally bought food. With this food, the people can no longer
Don’t worry about being hungry anymore.”
"Hungry is certain. This food can only guarantee that they will not starve to death so quickly for the time being. Now it is certain that the superiors will not take care of everyone. And according to this situation, it may be difficult for these refugees to go home this year. Even if they go back, if
Without food, one is waiting to die.
But there are still half a year left in this year. What will we do after these more than 30,000 kilograms of food are eaten? Let me tell you, if you want to solve the livelihood problem of these refugees, you have to find a piece of land, as big as you can.
Then let these refugees open up wasteland and farm their own land. The north cannot farm, but the south is not affected.
It has just arrived in July. There are many people and strength. Plant the food in July and harvest it in November. If this year of famine is over, some refugees will be able to go home for the winter as early as possible. They really can’t go back.
Then find a warmer place to hide, and come back home for spring planting next year."
After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Fang Yu on the side agreed: "I agree with Qiqi's suggestion. We ourselves often say that it is better to rely on ourselves than to rely on others. It is better to rely on ourselves than to rely on others. If others have the ability, it is not as good as if we have the ability. If others have the ability, it is not as good as ourselves. Rely on Third Brother everywhere.
Running around to buy food not only does not solve the problem, but it also makes them easy to rely on. I feel that the government should feed and drink for free to support them."
"But the question is where to find such a place for them to grow food?" Chang Wuhun asked.
Nangong Ye replied: "This is simple. If one place is not enough, then find two. If two are not enough, then find three. If Nanyang City is not enough, then continue to the next city."
Tao Qiqi: "Yes, they will be given free land to open up wasteland to grow grain, and the grain tax will be paid as usual. I believe the superiors will not have any objections. In addition, when the refugees leave, the wasteland can still be sold or rented.
.If anyone wants to stay, I will support them to stay.”
Fang Yu: "Yes, yes, you can definitely try this method."
Tao Qiqi: "Besides, we still have our own things to do. We can't stay here all the time just to buy food and feed them for free. Although they are refugees, no one thinks about natural disasters. I
It’s a bit unpleasant to say this about them. But they have hands and feet and they don’t have to wait. Waiting for the authorities to take care of them, waiting for food, and waiting for the natural disaster to pass, in the end they can only wait to die!”
Nangong Ye: "Okay, I will go to Mr. Yang to discuss this matter early tomorrow morning. Once this matter is settled, we should continue our journey."
Chang Wu: "That's right. At first, we were just planning to take a rest, but then because Mr. Tao treated Mrs. Yang, and then the incident of Miss Yang Er's stall, and then the incident of these refugees, we are here
Have you been staying in Yang Mansion’s courtyard for almost a month?”
Fang Yu: "In a few days, it will be exactly one month."
Chang Wu: "Look, if we spend this month on the road, we should all be sitting with the young master's uncle in Nanguan by now."
"Third brother, are you going to Nanguan to find your uncle?" Nangong Yi looked at Nangong Ye and asked after hearing Chang Wu's words.
Nangong Ye didn't hide anything, so he nodded and answered: "Yes."
"Then, does second brother know?"
"Not sure."
"Then I've been with you for half a month now, and when the time comes to leave, what should I say?"
Chang Wu was confused when he heard this: "What are you talking about?"
Nangong Yi replied: "What should I tell my second brother?"
Tao Qiqi on the side finished the last mouthful of porridge and then replied: "Why don't you just tell him what he wants to know?"
Nangong Yi: "He wants to know the weapons, he wants to know the third brother's thoughts."
Tao Qiqi: "Then just tell the truth."
"Why tell the truth?"
Tao Qiqi looked at Nangong Yi: "Have you seen the weapons? What is your third brother's thoughts that he didn't talk to you about last time? He now wants to take his family to his fief to live their small life. This is not clear enough.
?”
When Nangong Yi heard this, he immediately understood: "Yes, tell the truth, I understand."
"Okay, it's getting late. I'm afraid it will be dawn if we continue chatting. Let's go back to the room and go to bed. I have arranged these things during this period, but I have to continue on my way. It won't be like that then.
There are good opportunities to practice martial arts all the time. And once you continue to set off, dangers on the road will also appear, so hurry up and practice martial arts." After finishing speaking, Tao Qiqi stood up, yawned, and then went to his room.
Go.
Although Nangong Yi successfully approached them during this period, there was no movement there, but as time passed, Bao Buqi knew that Nangong Yi had rebelled and would think of other ways to attack.
As soon as Tao Qiqi left, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, at dawn, Nangong Yi and Nangong Ye took the time to go to Mr. Yang to discuss what they had discussed last night.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Yang had the same idea as everyone else.
The new grain obtained yesterday can be planted at this time just in time to harvest before winter.
The three of them quickly reached a consensus.
Mr. Yang is familiar with Nanyang, so let him handle the local affairs.
The refugee matter was left to Nangong Yi and Nangong Ye to take care of the matter.
We must first register how many of these refugees there are, and then make further distribution plans.
Tao Qiqi was not idle either. While there were still a few days left, she went up to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt. If she couldn't finish it, Zhao Song and the others took it to the city gate and sold it to the refugees at a low price.
Just process what you need and eat it later on the road.
The others took the time to continue practicing martial arts.
As for the second young lady of the Yang family, because she did something sorry for everyone before, she will basically not appear in front of everyone if nothing happens.
I spent most of my time with Mrs. Yang in her yard.
Tao Qiqi originally thought that in the next few days, she could live a peaceful life going up the mountain, going down the mountain, going home, and sleeping.
But she had only had a few days of leisure when she came back from hunting one day. When she returned to the city gate, she saw a familiar figure hovering around Nangong Yi and Nangong Ye.
