Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 148 Old Ginger
Chapter 140 Nine Old Ginger
Seeing that the old man was about to hit the wall, Li Yu quickly shouted at the top of his voice, "Quick, stop him!"

The grandson of the chief steward is a young man after all, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, he strode up and hugged the old man,
Li Yu compromised helplessly; "Why is the chief manager like this, it's a certain fixed granary!"

Ma Benchu ​​took a few breaths before sitting down again.
The experience of living for more than 70 years told him that the owner's words were only to comfort him temporarily.

This contest is still in a stalemate, and the two sides have not yet made a distinction.
If he wants to win completely, he must work harder.

Otherwise, today's bitter drama is tantamount to a waste of trouble.

"If you want to blame the old man at home, the old man has nothing to say, but the words from the bottom of his heart can't be expressed quickly, I hope the family master can forgive me!"

Uh, Li Yu is very speechless, you are like this, how can I blame you again?What's the difference between that and a faint king!
Feeling uncomfortable, Li Yu couldn't say anything. After all, people also do things according to their duties. For the sake of the overall situation, I couldn't explain clearly to them. The economic role is the theory of how to drive the overall development.

There is nothing we can do.

"The big steward is also for the people of Zhuangzi. How can you blame it, but next year's big drought will have something to do with it?"

Before the old man Ma could speak, his eldest son replied beside him; "I would like to inform the Patriarch that the theory of drought and flood is also the power of heaven and earth.

Manpower can't control it, it just speculates on the experience of the ancestors, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and future generations can only act on the basis of it.

Everything in this world begins with yin and yang qi, the clear qi rises, and then it becomes rain or snow,
Then return to the earth again, and then moisten all things,
The reason why people rule all things is to check the changes in the world, observe the yin and yang of the four seasons, and then follow them.

As the saying goes, the cathode must be yang, the anode must be yin, under a long drought there must be waterlogging, under a long period of waterlogging there must be drought,

After that, the drought and flood can be evened out.

Now that the flood is gone, there will be a severe drought. The villain thinks that there will be no rain in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and no snow this winter.
The summer harvest in the coming year will definitely reduce the field production.

If there is no more rain in the spring and summer next year, the catastrophe may not be far away.

Although the next year's summer harvest will be halved, it can still be recovered. If there is no rain in spring and summer, there will be no harvest in next autumn, and there will be no return. It will be another catastrophe.

At that time, refugees, refugees, running around, starving and dying, and mourning everywhere.

Aye's concern is not groundless, it is the method taught by the ancestors, the head of the family must investigate.

Once the disaster arrives, it will be as fast as one season, and as slow as two seasons.

At that time, if there is no food, how will the five villages of our Li family with tens of thousands of people survive?
According to the opinion of the villain, the head of the family can wait for the spring and summer of the coming year. If the rain is abundant in the spring and summer, the autumn harvest is expected.

The owner of the house can collect new grain and use the old grain to make wine. If there is no rain in spring and summer in the coming year,

And brew the grain into wine, although the taste is delicious, it can't fill the belly after all,

I don't know if the owner thinks so? "

Facing the earnest persuasion of the father and son, Li Yu regained his composure from his enthusiasm for brewing wine.
Thinking about it carefully, what the two of them said makes sense. If there is no snow this winter, the production will definitely be reduced in the coming year. I have learned it in elementary school textbooks in my previous life.
Besides, it's common sense, and he's not stupid, so how could he not know the priorities?
Since I traveled here this year, it has indeed rarely rained. Even the only two times, it only wet the ground.

This winter has been two months, and not a single snowflake has fallen. If there is no rain in spring and summer next year, there is no need to speculate on the methods and experience of the predecessors.

All fools know that there must be no harvest in autumn. If it is true, then it will be troublesome.
Can only rely on the grain stored in the granary to survive the crisis of half a year or a year,

So it seems that I really can't mess around,
"Forget it, the storage in this granary will not be moved for the time being, in case of drought in the coming year, if someone needs grain, he will go to Chang'an to buy it.

It's just that a certain person also wants to know how the people survive the drought when it comes? "

"Returning to the Lord's words, when a catastrophe comes, you can only tighten your belt,
Rice becomes porridge, three meals become two meals, and one meal a day when you are nervous,
It's a blessing to be able to save your life.

The old man has passed the seventy-seventh year, and he is not afraid of life and death, but just thinking about it,

Since the Li family moved to Lantian, it has been more than 170 years, and no one has starved to death.
When the old man is still alive, something will happen. In the future, under the Nine Springs, what face will he have to meet the previous Patriarchs, alas..."

After Ma Benchu ​​said these words, he picked up his cuffs and wiped the two lines of old tears, seeming quite emotional!
"This……"

Li Yu has long since regained his composure from his passion for brewing wine, and he is also thinking about how to deal with the real calamity coming,

Seeing that the old steward spoke the truth and considered everything from the standpoint of the Li family,

In public and private are impeccable.

I am also very moved, what more can I ask for such a loyal servant?

"Don't worry, chief executive. Since ancient times, people have long-term worries without long-term worries. Some people are also sober and naturally follow the principles. How can they do anything arbitrary?
Now that Zhuangzi's second batch of repair work has been completed, if we hurry up in these two days,
Before the big cold comes, the granary can also be expanded, and the wine making matter should be put down first.

Tomorrow, a certain craftsman will be called to expand the granary, so that they can store grain for another two years, harvest it next summer, and store it in the warehouse. Then open the money bank, enter Chang'an City, purchase, and fill the granary.In this way, even if a drought comes, it can be easily dealt with. "

Hearing that the head of the family had personally agreed not to move the food in the granary, Ma Benchu ​​and his son let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

I also heard that the main granary will be expanded, and the next year's summer harvest will not only not be sold, but all will be put into storage.

If we open the money bank again to purchase a year's worth of reserves, the granary will be twice as rich.
The Ma Benchu ​​father and son, how could they not be overjoyed, a smile finally appeared on their faces.

As the so-called family has surplus food, don't panic in your heart, Ma Benchu ​​can't wait to turn half of Zhuangzi into a granary, full of his food and drink for ten years.

Besides, the chief manager of the granary has been passed down by the Ma family for four generations. The more food there is, the happier they are of course!
Seeing this loyal father and son, Li Yu thought, just give them a reassurance and let them experience the wisdom of later generations!
"There is a plan, which can alleviate the threat of food shortage. Not only will the five Zhuangzi of my Li family not starve to death, but also there is no need to cut down on food and clothing. You can rest assured!"

Ma Benchu, father and son, almost said in unison; "Jian Jiangan?"

Where did it come from, of course it came from my mind, my master has been around for thousands of years, can't he still solve the problem of eating?
"There is a river next to a limestone burning factory, and the water flows continuously for many years.

You can inform the households of the five villages to find a wide land, build dikes and dams, so that the already wide river will be raised by another two feet.

Raising aquatic products, when the disaster year comes, eating fish as food can not only strengthen the body, but also reduce food consumption. Why not do it? "
