Chapter 1797 Everywhere Is Bad

As for why, Shen Qingci likes to stock up on food so much now, it's just because she has always been a precaution, in case a war strikes one day, and there is no food in the army, even if there is money, it will be impossible to buy food. thing.

She was afraid of starvation, she had eaten grass herself, and she didn't want her father to follow him.

So she has been in the colony all the time, just to prepare for the war, even if she is in the colony year after year, it doesn't matter.

Lao Hengju said that this world is like this. There is no absolute peace and prosperity. You want peace, but other countries may not have ambitions, so wars of this size will always happen.

It is peaceful now, and there is nothing to do now, but if this war starts, the food and grass will bear the brunt. When the time comes, the first-grade incense of her dozens of families, and each family can provide food, which will be enough for the army to eat a lot of time. In a short period of time, It is also possible to mobilize a large amount of food and grass, and together with the preparations of the court, it is enough to ensure that the army will not starve.

And these grains are not useless. The old grains every year can help the poor, and it can be regarded as a good thing for the people after Yipinxiang has collected money like this.

And now it is about time for the replacement of old and new grain. In some places, the harvest is early, so the new grain has already been put into the warehouse, and the old grain is not paid.

Bai Mei thought about it for a while, "Madam, our grain has always been harvested early, and this year's weather is good, so the lord asked to harvest the new grain earlier, and it should be finished by then."

"Really, it's early?"

Shen Qingci stood up and walked to the window to stand.

"If the rain lasts longer this time, the more places there will be food shortages."

And Bai Mei couldn't help but be surprised.

"Madam means..."

It is possible to encounter a year of food shortage, and Da Zhou has how many years there have been no food shortages. The past few years have been smooth and rainy. Even those floods dare to be cured, and now there are very few places. The flood happened, so the people's households had enough food. Of course, there were also fewer people who were prepared for danger in times of peace. Many people started to sell food and save money. She knew about this, and Daxiang's mouth was always full of They are all complaining about this, saying that the people in their villages are now selling grain, using the money from the grain to buy other things, and then use the money to build a big house.

It is also complete, without the food shortages of the past.

"Go and tell me, don't sell the old grain first."

Shen Qing resigned and counted the time. This new grain will be stored in the warehouse and will only be processed after one month, so now she has some new grain and some old grain in her hands. I hope that the old grain is really not sold, even if the grain, she will not take any money. I donated it, and I don’t want these grains to become a means of profit for some people in the end.

"Yes."

Bai Mei found out, and she came out quickly, thinking about how to notify the people in the shop.

"Eldest lady, the white eagle in the mansion happens to be there."

The woman on the side also reminded, isn't this a new incense, so a few white eagles are also here, just waiting to send news to Yipin incense everywhere.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

Bai Mei hurriedly asked someone to write a letter and let Bai Mei send it over. The white eagles in their house flew very fast, and it should be possible to spread all the news within a few days.

And she actually hopes that she will be busy in the end, otherwise, she really doesn't know how many people will die this year?

After all the letters were sent out, the rain outside seemed to have stopped.

"Has the rain stopped?"

Bai Mei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's good to stop. Yes, it's good to stop. As long as you stop, you can get better. After all, you can grab some food.

It's just that she hasn't been relieved too much from her breath. This night, it is another heavy rain.

Shen Qingci stood in front of the window, and Xiao Luobai was also hugged by her obediently.

"jiji..."

Laobai scratched the back of the master's hand with his own small claws, but its strength is very small, and it will not scratch the master. It is hard to believe that such a small thing like a rabbit can scratch a person. How ruthless, with one claws, even the flesh and bones are grabbed, and sometimes scratches as deep as the bones.

But in front of the owner, it is still a beautiful and well-behaved little white dumpling, this temperament is like the fur on its body, soft and warm.

Of course, it also has a very cute little fox face, and the sound is also cute.

Shen Qingci touched its little head. Look, it's raining again. If it rains again, I don't know how much less food will be harvested?

Luo Bai licked his master's fingers, as if he was comforting his master.

"Tell me, where did the eldest master of your family go?" Shen Qingci asked Laobai, "It's good, he's been out for more than a month, but he hasn't been seen back in Beijing, he won't be there. Where did you keep a little one?"

And she couldn't help but patted her face.

"Yeah, it's impossible, your master, I have such a beautiful appearance, although I am not young, but I am beautiful, the beauty is late, those little girls who are green and green, when they are old, they are all Just like the old bark, only your master will continue to grow green."

"grumble……"

Laobai tilted his little head and didn't know what the master was talking about, but he knew that the master was not happy.

The rain outside was still falling, and it was another whole day.

On the second day, it still did not stop, the capital was still in the old days, and for rich people, such heavy rain might just be inconvenient to travel.

But for those poor people face to face.

However, they may really be in despair because of this rain.

If the sky is not sunny again, the crops this season may be destroyed even more.

How is the situation outside? Shen Qingci asked Bai Mei, if there is only rain in the capital, then it will be nothing. Going to other places to adjust a tune will be enough for them to finish the winter, and they will be better by today next year, but If this is the case for the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, then this year's livelihood will become a problem.

"Ma'am, I've asked someone to inquire about it. Everywhere... they're all gone."

Bai Mei's face is not very good-looking, of course, the news is very fast, because there are three white eagles in their house, one of them follows the eldest son, and the other two are also raised in the house.

The main purpose is to send letters to Yipinxiang in various places, and according to the return of Yipinxiang in various places, the scope of this rain is still large, and it rained for almost half of the week. Unfortunately, in the past few years, Lao Hengju has been controlling the water, and he is also cultivating official roads. He has also thoroughly managed the floods in the flood-prone places in Dazhou.
