The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 954 [953] Poison Doctor Warriors 14 (four thousand)
Shengshui Villa covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu, and tens of thousands of people live on them. In addition to medicine fields, they also grow food. In addition to self-sufficiency every year, they can also store and pay taxes and food. So prosperous, the other three countries are not bad, so their good money is definitely not just talk.

Even in difficult times, they did not lack food and vegetables. After all, it was the houses that collapsed, not the fields. Although there was damage, it was because of the heavy rain during that time that the production decreased a lot, but after the weather stabilized, there was still hope. of.

Jiang Xue and Dong Yao were divided into a room, which was a temporary shed, and the clansmen lived next to them. Because there were not many intact houses and they were worried about aftershocks, even senior managers like Shui Yixuan , and like everyone else, live in sheds on the open ground, and the sheds are all made of wood. This season is okay now, but in winter, I’m afraid it will be very cold. After all, the holy pilgrimage is also a country with four distinct seasons, and the winter here can reach Below zero degree.

Generally, everyone cooks together, who has a good relationship with whom, and after a few people discuss it, they start a fire together. On Jiang Xue's side, it was Wang Yongqiang and Zhang Yonggang who had the cheek to come over to eat, and later developed into Shui Yixuan and Mu Hui. Five of the five Twelve Wood members who had dealt with her also came over to have a meal.

Anyway, a sheep is herding, so is a group of sheep, so Jiang Xue asked them to prepare two big iron pots for her, to make big pots of rice, and stew them randomly.

Because the ingredients are changeable, the tastes are also different. In addition, Jiang Xue supplements the vegetables in the space from time to time. Although the supply of meat, poultry and eggs is somewhat insufficient, no one can do without their family. Young master, so Jiang Xue made a lot of good things for them even though there was no shortage of ingredients.

When cooking every day, there are people around watching, stealing lessons, Jiang Xue also let them watch, she will talk about it when she meets someone who doesn’t understand, but no one can make her taste, this is not what she can do. It's left and right, and all that should be handed in. Whether you can learn or not, it really depends on your own luck.

So she temporarily settled down in Shengshui Mountain Villa, giving lectures and cooking during the day, unlike the young master of the Shui family, who had to go out of the village from time to time to inspect shops in various places, and deal with some official contacts, precisely because Therefore, she also has a thorough understanding of the situation outside.

First of all, it is not an exaggeration to describe the Holy Dynasty as people living in dire straits. They are building all over the place. They don’t want to be in the era of glutinous rice balls. If one side is in trouble, all parties will support it. And the sea, land and air will start at the same time. Who will support you here? That’s right, not to mention the destruction of the good Four Kingdoms event, the entire holy pilgrimage is full of collapsed houses, and there are many people who can’t eat. They have no strength, how can they work?If you don't work, where will you get the extra money to buy food?This becomes a dead button in a causal loop.

The famine was born naturally. It is not that there are no crops in the field, but there are many crops, and there are many refugees, and they are looted before they are ripe. At that time, they were full, but what happened afterwards?Are you dumbfounded?
Many ordinary people have died, and some have wiped out their families. When the food is gone, farming has become a troublesome thing. Who owns the land and who should plant it. If the government doesn't do anything, it will be a mess!
Shengshui Villa doesn’t care about the government’s affairs. Anyway, they are looking for someone to help build a house and pay wages. Those who work have free porridge to drink. The so-called porridge doesn’t have much rice, and most of it is bran. Because of this, Shengshui Mountain Villa was also sued to the court by some people with ulterior motives, saying that they used bran to fool the common people.

Shui Yixuan was called in front of the emperor, facing the harsh criticism from all the officials, he only felt it was funny.

"You still have the face to talk about our Shengshui Mountain Villa? What about you, where is the relief food distributed by the court? If your food is distributed in place, the common people will go to the ground to snatch the immature grain? You still say I use bran? I use At least some rice noodles are added to the bran, how about you? You officials are worse than me. You even add fodder, which is for feeding animals! After all, I am just a commoner, and I am not an official. Yes, not so much responsibility and obligation."

"But my Shengshui Villa has become a habit of helping poor people all the year round. So this time, on the surface, it is to build houses and recruit long-term workers to work for us. In fact, there are many old people and children among the people who come every day. You say I Do you want to force them to work for me? You must just turn a blind eye and close your eyes, and let it go. The victims are poor, but no matter how poor you are, you can’t wait for the pie to fall from the sky, right? How much work do you do, how much do you eat? Food, you have to eat, and you still have to pay attention to the quality of the food? Starving to death is the minimum standard. In the past, during the famine, grass roots and bark were eaten, what happened to the bran?"

The official was trembling with anger, "Aren't you ashamed to say that?"

"Ashamed? Why should I feel ashamed? Shouldn't it be your responsibility and obligation to help the victims? When did it become the responsibility of ordinary people like us?"

"Are you an ordinary person? Your holy water villa covers four countries, and there are a lot of money and food, you,"

Before they finished speaking, Shui Yixuan laughed: "So what? So we deserve to be taken advantage of? Every year we pay so much tax, money, tax and food, where did it go? We paid what we should pay, and the rest What we earn is what we deserve. The tax burden is already heavy, and we have to support people. Thousands of people eat and drink with our holy water. I can’t ignore my own family and take care of the outside? , the sky is falling, it should be up to you to stand in front of it, because we pay taxes for what you eat and drink. As for whether the treasury has money, whether it is empty or not, does it have anything to do with me? ?”

The ability of the Shui tribe to grow stronger and stronger, and dare to challenge the emperor, is due to the efforts of three generations. Shui Yun is unparalleled in the world in medicine and poison, and Shui Wuhen is superb in martial arts. He may be the next overlord of the martial arts world. Shui Yixuan is even more outstanding , business is blooming everywhere in the four countries, and now it is the Holy Dynasty that asks them to take root in the Holy Dynasty, but it's not that they want to stay here, there is no stay here, and there is a stayer, so they are afraid of your mere Holy Pilgrimage?

What's more, the current holy dynasty is simply fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at any time. These officials are still questioning him here?

"So, not only do we not feel ashamed, but we also feel relieved!"

"You, you," the prime minister was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, the officials at the side quickly supported him, and asked Shui Yixuan with a dark face, "Why do you say that?"

"It's very simple. One catty of rations can be exchanged for three catties of bran. This means that the food that could save one person's life can now save three people."

The official was furious: "But bran is for animals, not for people!"

Shui Yixuan sneered, and looked at them with contempt: "Humans? The current disaster victims, are they still human?"

"Don't look at me so excitedly, I'm not scolding them, nor is it heartless, I just ask you, can a person who is about to starve to death still be called a human being?"

"To put it bluntly, it's a beast. As long as you can live, what kind of bran or fodder is there? It's a good thing. You can eat grass roots, tree bark and soil. You officials, scholars, you will only stay in this rich family. In the compound, holding books of sages and sages, doing some paperwork. Have you ever seen the situation where all the grass roots and bark of the Qianli Plain were eaten up? I came out of the disaster area and even participated in disaster relief many times , among the people standing here, who can do more than me?"

"You have never been to the disaster area, so naturally you don't know how pitiful those people are. I also understand from it that no matter how much relief food the court distributes, it will never be enough. If we don't try to work around it, what you see in the disaster area They are not disaster victims, but bones, bones!"

Shui Yixuan's words silenced the people in power. They didn't even dare to say that if the food and salaries for disaster relief were not enough, they could ask the imperial court to release them!
Not only did they dare not tell, even the emperor couldn't tell, because only high-ranking people like them knew and understood how empty the treasury was.

Even the three meals a day of the royal relatives have to be reduced again and again. Excuse me, how do ordinary people ask for white rice and white noodles?

The old prime minister held his breath, always wanting to excuse the court.

"Even though the current state treasury is already an empty shell, the imperial court has still distributed relief funds!"

Shui Yixuan took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Then have you read their account books? You know that officials, big and small, are all embezzling the money!"

As expected of the old prime minister who had been an official all his life, he had already seen through some things and believed that this was already a normal state. He even dared to say it in front of the old emperor.

"Save the people first, save the officials. If the officials can't survive, why save the people? Don't say I can understand these problems, everyone present knows it very well!"

Even though Shui Yixuan felt that their words were absurd, he had to admit that the old prime minister had seen clearly and dared to say these words in front of the emperor, which was enough to show that the old emperor knew very well in his heart that people were divided into threes and sixes. Ninth class, people who live at the bottom, as long as they live, does it matter what they eat?

After all, whoever distributes disaster relief food to them has the right to touch these. After all, only when they are fed will they be willing to sacrifice their lives for the people above and give some charity to the victims below.

When talking about this, instead of thinking that Shui Yixuan was indifferent, ruthless, and cruel, Jiang Xue felt that he was the one who understood the most.

She remembered that He Shen had said similar things and things in the TV series, and even asked Ji Xiaolan.

"How do you write official characters? There are upper and lower mouths, and the upper mouth must be fed first before the lower mouth is fed. How many honest officials have been in the past and present? How many corrupt officials?"

Honest officials are as rare as phoenix feathers, and corrupt officials are like the sand of the Yellow River. During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, how many harsh punishments were used to punish corrupt officials, but were corrupt officials stopped in the end?No, because it can't be cured at all, it can't be cured!
So sometimes the ideal and the reality are very different. In this point of view, Jiang Xue is on the side of Shui Yixuan. She even thinks that Shui Yixuan is the one who really suffered from childhood.

"You... have suffered a lot since childhood, right?"

When Jiang Xue tentatively asked this sentence, Mr. Runyu smiled: "Did you see it?"

"The owner of the dignified Shui tribe has such a deep-rooted folk experience. Officialdom, shopping malls, and people's hearts seem to have formed a fixed triangle in front of you. I am very curious, the owner and his wife , how did you train yourself?"

Mr. Runyu glanced at her indifferently, "If you were thrown into this village to work when you were young, and you traveled all over the country with the shopkeeper at a young age, you can also achieve my current level, I firmly believe that It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Over the years, I have traveled around the four countries. Although I haven’t read many books, I don’t think that I am less understood than others, so sometimes you have to believe and take another road. , can be accomplished.”

"You mean they never thought of making you an official?"

Runyu sighed, and asked Jiang Xue with some regret.

"For someone as capable as me, if he takes the imperial examination, he may not be worse off than he is now, right?"

"Scholar, farmer, businessman, businessman is at the end, have you ever felt inferior because of your status?"

Runyu shook his head, "Never, what you said about scholars, farmers, and businessmen should be preceded by Wu, warriors, farmers, and businessmen. Although our Shengshui Villa is a businessman, it is also the supreme martial arts village, the number one village in the world. Based on this, who would dare Underestimated? Inferiority is based on ability, I have ability, how can I be inferior? Besides, my parents have never talked about inferiority in my education!"

From this point of view, the three views of the two people are quite consistent.

Soon after autumn and winter came, not only the victims were hard to bear, but even Shengshui Villa was shivering from the cold.

Because time is tight and tasks are heavy, and they only care about repairing houses, they have no time to build adobe houses and adobe kangs, so it is inevitable to be cold in winter.

Those who practice martial arts are better. People like Jiang Xue who have no internal strength can only rely on constantly thickening cotton clothes to keep themselves warm.

Since that time when Shui Yixuan challenged Chaotang, no one dared to come here to comment on what he did in the future. He let go of his hands and did it, not only allowing the victims to support themselves, but also giving them the opportunity to work and provide them with food. , while not starving, it also gives them the opportunity to get wages and use the money they have saved to recreate their homes.

Because of the shortage of food on the holy pilgrimage side, he even spared no effort to withdraw the food from the other three countries. As a result, he was boycotted by the three countries for the first time. They not only banned the ships and carriages of Shengshui Villa from leaving the country, but also prohibited other businessmen from taking the opportunity Transferring food to the Hajj, even if some people want to earn a high price difference, is not allowed.

In their own words, we can not take the opportunity to attack your country, but we absolutely do not allow any possibility of supporting them.
