"I promised to let Hongluan live a happy life. This is a promise that I will live to be so big in my life, but... I can't do it now! The water Hongluan drank before was collected by virgins in the morning flowers. The dew from the pear tree was boiled and soaked in fairy fruit, and now... Although she started to drink the melting water of the mountains, she was really reluctant when she drank it, and she had to smile in front of me. I... can I bear it?"
Hua Qianshu said very sadly.
Lu Yu blinked, turned his head to look at Xiao Ruan, who was burning a pot of ordinary well water and making his own tea for a while, suddenly his brows twitched twice.
Looking down at Hua Qianshu with an expressionless face, raising his hand is a slap.
Hit people, but don't give a reason.
"Why hit me?" Hua Qianshu covered her face, her face puzzled.
"Oh, nothing," Lu Yufeng said lightly, "It's just that my hands are itchy."
"Okay... You hit me... Just hit it, but you must give me money! I want my previous life, and I can't stand being so poor all of a sudden. Haven't you always liked Lue? You don't want to Watching her starve... uh..."
Hua Qianshu turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ruan in horror, and immediately changed his words: "That lovely girl is naturally loved by everyone, but it is not the kind of love, but... the kind of love that people have for beautiful things, right! That's it, but even if it does, you still have to make her live a good life, don't you?"
Xiao Ruan narrowed his eyes, then turned his head away.
Hua Qianshu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The most important thing is... We have done so many things, and I finally understand what you want, but... But we still have a chance, is it... Really? We have to give up everything we got? Waiting for the disaster to pass completely, after the victims return to their hometown, what can we have left? You are still a shameful young master in the Lu Family, and I am also a dude who has been driven out of the house. Maybe we can’t even reach our previous status and life... ”
Lu Yu didn't say until then: "Status, life? Is it really that important? Hey, forget it, if you think so... Well, as you said, we have a chance, but you don't need it."
Hua Qianshu's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly, "As long as you keep talking!"
"Well, let me ask you, when do you think the disaster will end completely?"
"Should... The rain is still strong, and the floods are slowly receding. Then people can return to their hometowns. The disaster is over, right? When the court organizes the reconstruction of their homes, there will be nothing at all."
"Oh? Hehe," Lu Yu said with a smile, looking at him, "Is it that simple? I'm sure this is the disaster, but it will take at least three years!"
…
Disasters are not just natural disasters, but the most important thing is that people can return to normal lives.
The food is gone, the home is gone, and the people are gone. Although people will see the fertile soil soaked in river water after returning home, they will also see a deserted piece of soil. They will see that the food in their hands is only enough for a few days, and it takes months for the land to produce food again.
There are no seeds, so how can it last until the next receiving season
In the following days, Huaqianshu was very painful. Lu Yu distributed half of the grain to him, but he asked him to start selling only after the congee was completely finished, and he asked him not to sell more than the market price. The last one, Hua Qianshu, did not understand, but could still accept it, but had to wait for the congee to end... This was a bit tormenting.
"It's better not to bring the food back first, it's even more annoying to look at them."
Finally, the porridge was cancelled after a month. It wasn't because Lu Yu didn't want to distribute food anymore, but because the court's second wave of disaster relief troops finally arrived.
They brought a large amount of food, as well as a more powerful army. It was a team of 50,000 who turned to Linjiang City. One day after they entered the city, they took over all the work of the Prefectural Palace, leaving Linjiang City without porridge. It also appeared to be so organized. Of course, it was inevitable to drive the victims away. Everyone gave a certain amount of food and then sent them home.
It is severance, not deportation.
Moreover, although the food brought by the disaster relief army was a lot, it was definitely not enough.
Some people who knew they had nowhere to find a living stayed, selling children and girls, or selling themselves, and entered various big families as slaves. Of course, there were also better-looking women who were sold or voluntarily entered the brothel. Well, there is a Song family in Linjiang City, these women are definitely not miserable.
But the capacity of large families is also limited, so the'population' has become less and less valuable. From the initial 10,000 yuan, to the end, only one bite can take people away.
Of course, some of the people were a bit richer. They took the title deeds with them. They were planning to go home and make a comeback. However, seeing too much life and death and confusion about the way ahead, they chose to sell all the assets left by their ancestors and ancestors at low prices. Drop.
It seems that everything is falling in price overnight.
Only the same, food, began to skyrocket at this time!
The disaster can be described as sweeping the entire border of the Great Jade Country, including many small countries around it. Except for Linjiang City, other places are actually more serious. Food is scarce everywhere. Naturally, it is expensive everywhere, and it will continue to be expensive forever.
Hua Qianshu hesitated a bit. Lu Yu didn't dare to disobey his orders. Naturally, he could only sell food at the previous price, but... the "parity price" is actually less than 10% of the current price of food, so why do you want to spend Qianshu? All feel a loss.
But if it is not sold now, this grain will be available sooner or later. By then everyone will be at par, and it will be troublesome to sell. If it's selling... I'm afraid it's inevitable that there will be a berserk situation, and that situation is a headache when I think of it.
So after thinking about it, he thought of a very interesting method, which is to'limited'. Selling only one hundred stones every day can not only avoid trouble, but also keep the water flowing. The most important thing is that if he sells this way, he will feel better in his heart.
But it wasn't until he started selling food that he realized that he was thinking too much, or that he didn't understand enough in some places. The phenomenon of looting has appeared, but other grain shops sent people to buy it, and the big family brought home thugs to buy it, and the rest of the people wanted to buy it... They definitely couldn't squeeze into this street.
"Damn, I worked so hard, is it possible to complete your group of white-eyed wolves?"
Hua Qianshu was furious, so he set the rules and only sells ordinary people, not the big door. He also plans to talk to Lu Yu about the three hundred soldiers who will be used to screen and review the food. But others have not gone out yet. There were already fifty or sixty soldiers waiting at the door.
"Playboy, Mr. Lu asked me to wait to help you."
Finally, there is no "comrades" to make trouble, Hua Qianshu is preparing to sell her own food quietly, but can't think of... The situation of berserk has completely disappeared, a big food store, the place with the most food in Linjiang City, turned out to be deserted. The door is okay!
