Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 260 rest assured
Xia Daohua agreed on this side, and asked the people of the escort agency to purchase thousands of catties of black beans, soybeans, mung beans, and kidney beans in Kyoto, and asked them to buy some millet, sorghum, corn, and millet.

The amount is controlled within 5000 taels, which is the money that Wang handed over to buy rice last time.

The food in the supermarket is endless, and it will be refreshed every 24 hours. The reason why Xia Daohua arranged for them to buy food is mainly to make this pretense more realistic.

Three days later, the bodyguards and the convoy returned to Jixiang County with all kinds of beans and miscellaneous grains they purchased, because they had been taking the official road, the speed was not slow, and the road was relatively peaceful.

Xia Daohua watched them unload the goods at the warehouse, and moved in and out of the grain bags. She checked them carefully.After confirming that there was nothing wrong with most of the food and beans, he happily settled the bills for the bodyguards and the convoy, sent the rewards, and asked them to continue to help guard the warehouse.

The bodyguard naturally responded happily.

Xia Daohua said that she would check it carefully, and stayed alone in the warehouse for a long time before coming out.

Later, the bodyguards almost thought that something happened to her, they were about to go in to check, they knocked on the door a few times, and they were relieved when they saw her come out in response.

Xia Daohua's face was covered with sweat.The clothes that were originally clean were also stained with a lot of dust and soaked in sweat.

When the bodyguard saw him, he couldn't help being aggrieved, and opened his mouth: "Ms. Xia, the members of Fuwei Bodyguard Bureau are all reliable."

The implication is, did you really check the bags one by one?
So you can't trust us?
Xia Daohua heard it, and hastily spoke to appease her:
"I know you are reliable, otherwise there are so many bodyguards in Jixiang County, why would I choose you instead of another one?

Besides, the quality of this food has already been inspected in front of you just now, why is there any need to toss it over and over again?
It's just that I just discovered that there is a place where grain bags are piled up on the ground, which is a little wet.It seems to be slightly seeping water.

This grain is most afraid of getting wet.

As soon as I was anxious, I did it myself and changed the place for those grain bags to be stacked.

Because there are a lot of bags to be moved, I didn’t think of calling you for help, and I moved the bags for a long time, but I was tired and sweaty. "

Xia Daohua smiled awkwardly while talking, coupled with her flushed cheeks and sincere eyes, she suddenly looked extremely pitiful.

Since June [-]th, it has been raining in Jixiang County.

The Taohua River, the largest river near Jixiang County, has swelled to a level that has never happened in a century. The water level has risen by three or four feet compared with previous years, and it looks like it will overflow the embankment at any time.

Furthermore, these warehouses are used for unloading at the docks, not granaries specially built for storing grain, and it is normal for the ground to become damp.

After hearing Xia Daohua's explanation, the bodyguards immediately took it seriously when they thought of the rain these days and the smell of mud in the house in their yard.

The leading bodyguard immediately felt embarrassed:
"Oh, look at what's going on!
Don't be so anxious, if you need anything, just yell.

Although our main job is to be bodyguards, we are not the ones who can't handle horizontal grass and vertical grass. "

Xia Daohua smiled and nodded: "I'll save it. Next time I need to remember to ask you for help."

After appeasing the bodyguard, Xia Daohua left, and went to find the magistrate's wife, Mrs. Wang, to inform her that part of the new batch of [-] shi of grain had arrived.

These days, Mrs. Wang distributed food and porridge to the refugees every day, and the food in her hand was almost bottomed out. Seeing that Xia Daohua bought new food so quickly, she was overjoyed and held Xia Daohua's hand tightly:
"Mistress Xia, you are really my lucky star!"

Xia Daohua smiled shyly, as if a bit shy:
"My wife is so honored. My wife wholeheartedly wants to save a few more lives, and she doesn't hesitate to pay for it herself. It's really admirable! Although I am not as noble as my wife, I am very happy to be able to help a little bit and do my bit. of."

Wang's eyebrows were beaming at Xia Daohua's words. Of course, she wanted to save the lives of those refugees, but she was more concerned about County Magistrate Yang.

County magistrate Yang wanted to be a capable and famous official, so when he met refugees, he naturally didn't want to close the gates of the city and keep the refugees out of the high city walls like others did, or simply send out soldiers from the Thousand Households Office to drive the refugees away. thing.

He wanted to save these refugees and keep most of them in Jixiang County.

Population growth is also a very important political achievement.

It's just that it's easy to keep them for a while, but it's not so easy to let them become naturalized willingly instead of returning to their hometown after the disaster is over.

The county magistrate Yang has sent back most of the local laborers recruited locally, and gradually replaced the local laborers with young and strong refugees, allowing them to continue building walls, digging ditches, dredging mud, and building embankments...

For people to do such hard work, it is natural for people to be full.

The meals are cheap corn and millet rice. As for the polished rice that Xia Daohua sold to Wang, Wang has already replaced most of it with the cheapest coarse grains.

There are corn, millet rice, stick noodles, and acorn noodles, which are distributed to refugees, used in porridge sheds, and placed on construction sites.

Only a small part is reserved for emergency treatment of patients, especially the elderly and children among the patients.

Not only do we have to manage enough food, but we also have to pay some rewards every now and then.

Of course, this bounty is not shared by everyone, but only a small group of people who have completed the best tasks, done the most beautiful work, and are the most enthusiastic can get this bounty reward.

Each area has ten places.

Among them, the bonus for No.1 is 2 taels of silver, No.3 is 4 taels, No.10 is [-] taels, and the bonuses from No.[-] to No.[-] are the same, only [-] taels .

Selections are made every ten days.

In other words, three reward money will be issued every month.

The county magistrate Yang sent a patrol team to patrol secretly to ensure the fairness of this selection.

Just this small move mobilized the enthusiasm of those refugees.

For the first selection, most people didn't take it seriously at the beginning. They always felt that only those who had a good relationship with the team leader's supervisor and would flatter them would have a chance.

But to the surprise of most people, in the final selection, the refugee who did the most practical, hardest, and best job was actually selected to receive this reward.

Everyone is boiling.

For several months in a row, the refugees maintained a high enthusiasm for labor.

After several days of observation, Xia Daohua was very relieved of the various measures taken by Wang and Yang county magistrates.

So this time, she simply agreed to the [-] shi of grain that Mrs. Wang asked for without saying a word, and specially prepared beans and miscellaneous grains instead of polished rice and white flour.

　Begging for votes with the cheek, hehe. ^_^
