Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 80: Making refugees self-sufficient

Don't mention how excited Mr. Yang was when he successfully bought food here.

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 being filled again, Master Yang finally saw the long-lost smile on his face.

Of course, the same goes for Nangong Ye.

Regardless of the many doubts in the whole transaction process tonight, that is not important anymore, anyway, the food is in hand.

1000 taels, buying back more than 3 catties of grain, can allow ordinary people to drink a bowl of porridge a day, which is 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 food, Tao Qiqi couldn't help sighing: "Your mother's child 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 settled. This time, the third brother was very generous. He bought more than 1000 kilograms of grain for 3 taels."

Tao Qiniang raised the corners of her mouth after hearing this, "The common people are lucky. They met such a good prince as King Pingyang. Thanks to King Pingyang looking around for food during this period of time. Now they finally bought food. With this food, the common people never Don’t worry about going hungry.”

"Hungry is certain. The food can only ensure that they will not starve to death so quickly for the time being. Now it is certain that the higher-ups 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 No food is waiting to die.

But there is still half a year left in this year. What should we do after the 3 catties of grain 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 find, and then let these refugees open up wasteland and farm the land by themselves. The north can't grow it, but the south is not affected.

Now that it’s just July, there are more people and more power. We plant the food in July and harvest it in November. If the famine year is over by then, some refugees can go home for the winter as soon as possible. They really can’t go back. Then find a warmer place to hide for a while, and then go home to plant in the spring next year. "

After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Fang Yu on the side agreed: "I agree with Qiqi's proposal. We often say that relying on others is worse than relying on ourselves, that others are worse than ourselves, and others are worse than ourselves. Rely on the third brother to go around Running around to buy food not only can’t solve the problem, but it’s easy for them to develop a dependence. I feel that the government should support them for free.”

"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, find two, if two are not enough, find three, if Nanyang City is not enough, go to the next city."

Tao Qiqi: "That's right, 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 cleared 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. It is impossible to stay here all the time just to buy food and feed them for free. Although they are refugees and no one wants natural disasters, I It doesn’t sound good to say that to them. But they don’t have to wait if they have arms and legs. Wait for the higher-ups to take care of them, wait for food, wait for the natural disaster to pass, and finally have to wait for death!”

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, I was just planning to rest my feet, but later, because Mr. Tao treated Mrs. Yang's illness, and then there was something about Miss Yang Er, and then it was about these refugees. We are here You have been staying in the small courtyard of the Yang Mansion for almost a month, right?"

Fang Yu: "A few days 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 planning to go to Nanguan to find your uncle?" Nangong Yi asked after hearing Chang Wu's words, looking at Nangong Ye.

Nangong Ye didn't hide anything, so he nodded and answered, "Yes."

"Then, does the second brother know?"

"I don't know."

"Then I've been with you for half a month now, and when I'm leaving here, 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 weapon, he wants to know the third brother's mind."

Tao Qiqi: "Then just tell the truth."

"How do you tell the truth?"

Tao Qiqi looked at Nangong Yi: "Have you seen weapons?? Your third brother's thoughts didn't talk to you 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 it, he immediately understood: "Yes, to be honest, I understand."

"Okay, it's getting late, and I'm afraid it will be dawn if we continue talking, so go back to your room and go to sleep. I've arranged these things during this period, but I have to continue on my way, and then it won't be so This is a good opportunity 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." Tao Qiqi got up and yawned, and then went to her room go.

Although Nangong Yi managed to get close to them during this period, there was no more movement there, but after a long time, Bao Buqi knew that Nangong Yi had betrayed 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 seized the time to go to Mr. Yang to discuss what they said last night.

Unexpectedly, Master Yang coincided with everyone's thoughts.

The new grain obtained yesterday can be planted at this time just in time to harvest before winter.

In this way, the three of them quickly reached a consensus.

Mr. Yang is familiar with Nanyang, so let him handle the affairs here.

The matter of the refugees was handed over to Nangong Yi and Nangong Ye to take care of them together.

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 there was anything left to eat, Zhao Song and the others would take it to the city gate and sell it to the refugees at a cheap price.

If you need it, you can process it and eat it later on the road.

The rest took the time to continue practicing martial arts.

As for the second young lady of the Yang family, because she did something sorry to everyone before, she will basically not appear in front of everyone if she has nothing to do.

I spent most of my time with Mrs. Yang in her yard.

Tao Qiqi originally thought that in the next few days, she could go up the mountain, go down the mountain, go home, and sleep peacefully every day.

But she hadn't lived her leisure time for a few days. When she came back from hunting one day, when she returned to the gate of the city, she saw a familiar figure circling around Nangong Yi and Nangong Ye.
