Chapter 1749

The number on Qi Ke's paper made the big landlord jump with heartache. It can be seen that the amount of supplies needed is very large. On that day, each family must take out at least a quarter of what they claimed.

The landlords went home and sighed to adjust the grain. If you say that they are all big and successful, they shouldn’t be unable to produce this grain, but they are also involved in the business of reselling grain in private, and the new grain they get has already been ordered in the market. Now, the family only has what they eat for themselves, so it will be difficult to collect food at this moment.

When Qi Ke calculated the numbers, he didn't think about hurting them. After all, the landlords are the mainstay of the county and control the lifelines of the economy. If they can be merciful, they should be merciful, but they didn't resell them grain. This variable is calculated.

Now they are all wailing that they can't produce food, which may be true, but Qi Keji and the various forces behind him don't care so much.

Qi Ke did not supervise the movement of the yamen and the landlords. She still has a lot of things to do, except that she has to squeeze time to practice kung fu and magic circles, and learn the hidden formations as soon as possible. The neighbors who border each other are still in a mess. If the people don't get relief from the government, they will soon go to the county to beg for food.

For the sake of public security in Baifugang, when he left the yamen yesterday, Qi Ke mentioned this matter to Shu Qianhu, and won the qualifications for the people in the town and the second village to take over the refugees and open up wasteland as tenant farmers.

As a price, Qi Zhuang came forward to make it clear to the people in those villages and towns that those who are willing to be tenant farmers in the future can advance a part of the money and food with Qi Zhuang to tide over the current difficulties. For the sake of it, it is a low interest rate.

Because half of these villages and towns still have self-cultivating farmers. As long as they can survive the current difficulties and rely on future income to pay back their accounts, only those who are tenant farmers themselves don't care who they work for, since they all pay rent the same anyway.

Their situation is so bad, it is still much better than that of the people in Zhangxian County. Baifugang is still releasing all kinds of piecework. People with crafts do bamboo weaving, and those with bad crafts use paste to paint paper boxes. There are not many, and the minimum living standard of the whole family is maintained. Every day is brown rice porridge and small pickles. Even next year's spring plowing does not know where to get new seeds.

But these are not reasons for the government to ignore it.

But there is no way, the county lord has a ruling attitude of not caring about everything and just waiting for his resignation. From his performance during the discussion yesterday, Qi Ke can somewhat guess that he is ready for the handover of resignation and will not be replaced by his successor. To prepare for trouble, then in order not to mobilize money and food to prevent mistakes in the accounts, he naturally no longer cares about the life and death of the people under his rule.

Qi Ke couldn't help cursing that the county lord's official career would not go well after he took office in a new place, otherwise he would be sorry for the suffering local people.

The maids of Baifu Harbor received Qi Ke's order and issued the latest disaster relief policy to the people who came to fetch water in the name of Qi Zhuang and Qianhu, and signed up voluntarily.

The food relief for the victims is a welfare package, just like last year when Qi Ke visited Chenjia Village, the predecessor of Baifugang, grain, oil, salt and sugar, ten catties of bacon and ten catties of chickens and duck eggs, especially the food was divided into four hundred catties of millet and one hundred catties of rice .
