Ever since Bai Xiaoshan was rescued and returned home, Bai Ling has been planning how to make the Bai family stronger.
In addition to financial resources, you also need strong backing and reputation among the people.
This flood gave the Bai family an opportunity to make a name for themselves in the North. However, the current Bai family is not qualified to be a good family. They can only do good deeds first and put fame and wealth later.
"Daughter, it's too wasteful to cover potatoes in the greenhouse, isn't it? There are also autumn cabbages, our family can't use that much, and the sales are not good. Isn't it good to plant winter wheat?" Bai Liu heard Bai Ling's arrangement.
, the flesh aches so tight.
"Potatoes are high-yield and can satisfy hunger. Cabbage should be planted as much as possible. It does not require a good growth rate, as long as there is a large amount. If there is any disaster, eating more cabbage is good for the body."
Bai Ling took two pages of paper, said something without raising his head, and said to Bai Sanshu:
"Dad, what the government means is to focus on planting winter wheat regardless of whether there is a decree from the court. The people in Baifu County have tasted the benefits, and they will probably follow suit. The land and Zhuangzi under our family's name are interplanted with some Chinese cabbage.
, buy more wasteland, build a greenhouse as soon as possible, and plant potatoes."
"Well, you can make up your mind on this matter." Bai Sanshu had no objection.
There are too many victims. Even if they can be dispersed in various places, the number will still be horrifying.
If we only rely on food for relief, we are afraid that everyone will go hungry. It is better to eat as much as possible to reduce the mortality rate.
"Sister, please look at the arrangements at the embroidery workshop. Don't take on some small jobs for the time being. Take the maids and women at home to make more quilts, cotton-padded clothes and trousers. I will have people send the materials later."
Bai Ling raised his head and looked at Baicao.
"Hey." Baicao responded.
"Third sister, little sister, you two don't need to stop the business at hand, but you have to be prepared. When the time comes, you have to come up with something. People can't live without salt, but the government restricts the amount of official salt purchased. This
Things can only go from your side." Bai Ling said again.
"I listen to the second sister." Bai Xing responded crisply, and Bai Wei nodded without objection.
"And..." Bai Ling told his family everything he could think of.
The whole family has no objection to being able to help the victims, but what Bai Ling wants to do most is to ensure the safety of his family first.
After the family finished talking, they went to arrange their own affairs. Bai Ling took white peony root and several girls who were very talented in medicinal herbs to start making finished pills.
Probably Bai Ling's words that day had an effect. The village chief rested for two days and felt better, so he came to the third room to find Bai Ling and his daughter.
Bai Ling immediately put down what she was doing and told Bai Shao and the other girls to continue rushing out the pills, while she, Bai Sanshu and the village chief went into the mountains.
The road into the mountain was very difficult, and we had to be careful of traps dug by hunters along the way. It took us more than two hours to reach the cave Bai Ling mentioned.
Calling it a cave is not quite appropriate, because the place Bai Ling chose requires walking very deep to reach it. Judging from the shape and size, it is a huge cave.
Moreover, there are many small caves within the large cave. The largest one can accommodate dozens of people, and the smallest one can only accommodate six or seven people.
"This...is this the cave that the girl was talking about? We have lived here all our lives and we have never found such a good place!" After walking around, the village chief was amazed.
The cave is in the shape of an hourglass, becoming narrower as you go up, allowing sunlight to penetrate but being very hidden.
The best thing is that there are two cracks in the cave, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can disperse smoke; at the innermost end of the cave, there is an underground river, the water is so clear that you can see fish and shrimp swimming.
And in the middle of the large cave, there are some medicinal materials that can be used daily, and there is also a spring.
"When the second girl brought me here for the first time, I thought I was at the place where gods live." Bai Sanshu scratched his head and said with a silly smile.
"I also discovered this place last year. I come here to sit here when I have nothing to do. I regard this place as my secret base. I also transplanted these medicinal materials."
Bai Ling smiled and explained:
"The biggest advantage of this cave is that because of the hot springs, it doesn't get cold even in winter, and the grass on these acres is always green."
"What? This is the first time I've heard of it. This is so amazing." After the village chief finished speaking, he looked around and whispered: "Could it really be a fairy cave? If we can escape,
Will it disturb the immortals’ cultivation?”
Bai Ling suppressed his laughter and pretended to be serious: "If it really is a place where gods live, I think a Bodhisattva with a good life will be willing to save innocent people like us."
"Yes, yes, I'm confused, but that's not the truth." The village chief nodded repeatedly.
"In two months, I will plant some vegetables and so on. One day, everyone will not have to worry about food. But if I think too much, please ask the village chief to keep it a secret, so as not to cause harm to those naughty boys.
This place, this is our life-saving magic weapon in Nanshan Village." Bai Ling once again asked the village chief to keep it secret.
"Okay, only the three of us know about this, and no one will say anything." After the village chief promised, he asked sheepishly: "Girl, you said that the grain is stored here, how much is it? Won't it get moldy if you put it here?
"
"It's strange to say this. We both sent the food here quietly. The earliest one was delivered for a while, but nothing happened." Bai Sanshu said and led the village chief there.
Look at the caves where grain is stored.
Bai Ling did not follow her, but glanced towards the upper reaches of the underground river, which was her real secret base.
Even if a disaster does occur, as long as this place is not breached, Bai Ling will never reveal the secrets inside.
And that secret base also existed as a cover for space, and Bai Ling didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
A few days later, Hu Quan and others came to Bai Ling's boudoir late at night.
Although the Bai family's nursing home has made great progress, no one has noticed the arrival of these people, which makes Bai Ling not sure whether to be happy or worried.
"Hu Quan, starting from tomorrow, you will officially stay in my house and serve as the instructor and the general manager of the nursing home. You can leave until you find someone who can take over." After Bai Ling saw a few people, he gave the order
.
Although there is not much time, it is not enough to sharpen the weapon in battle, and it is more than enough to deal with some refugees.
"Old Wu, I'll leave the contact matters to you for the time being. This is what you will do in the next few months. Remember not to rush, and don't let anyone make any contact between your actions and the Bai family." Put down the schedule.
Pass it to Lao Wu, Bai Ling ordered.
"Haitang, I will arrange for you to go to the private school. Protecting the young master is your most important task. Do you remember it?" Bai Ling looked at Haitang and asked.
"I accept your orders." Haitang was a little surprised. She didn't expect Bai Ling to still believe her.
Looking at the remaining three people, Bai Ling said: "Wu Xiu, you and Lao Wu will act separately and be responsible for supervision. The affairs of Yang Bo, Mulin, the intelligence network and the development of forces will be given to you two in a short period of time."
Be responsible and don't let me down."
After a few people accepted the order, Bai Ling said again: "If you need money, you can go to Lao Wu to get it. There is no need to save it for me. Lao Wu, when you run out of money, just come to me. Completing the task is the most important thing."
