After dressing as a peasant mother-in-law, she just wants to farm

Chapter 133
"I heard from an old man in the village that there was a flood a few decades ago. It was because the embankment burst that the flood flooded into the village and many people died!" Liu Lanhua said with an ugly face.

"At that time, I didn't eat anything, even Guanyin soil. After a few bites, I was bloated to death."

"It's all because of those corrupt officials! They were greedy for the money to build the embankment, otherwise it would be so easy to break the embankment!"

"A bunch of damned corrupt officials!" He Anwen scolded angrily.

"So, if you become an official one day in the future, you must be a good and honest official." Su Yun turned to look at him.

"Not only do I want to be a good official, I also want to kill corrupt officials!" He Anwen had a resentful expression on his face.

"Let's think about what to do now?"

"Mother, are we going to go up the mountain?" He Daping looked at her and asked.

Su Yun hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not the time yet, but we have to make preparations in advance, first pack up some necessities and take them up the mountain for storage."

"In addition to this, there is one more thing. Anwen, you go to the yamen tomorrow, tell the county magistrate, tell him, let him issue a notice, the kind of livestock that have been drowned in the water for a few days, and the kind of absolute that floats in the river. can not eat!"

"If you eat it, you may get the plague!"

Natural disasters plus plague, then they really don't want to live.

"Ah? No way, it's so serious?" Everyone was shocked.

"The dead poultry has been soaked in water for so many days. It has already smelled bad and has germs. If you eat it, you won't get sick. Fourth, have you read such books?"

He Anwen frowned, and slowly shook his head, "Maybe it's because I haven't read too many books."

"However, according to historical records, after every flood, there will indeed be a plague." The probability of this is quite high.

"I know this. Our Lin family has an ancient book, which has written about these things, and it was handed down from our ancestors." At this moment, Lin Wan said suddenly.

Su Yun's eyes brightened slightly, "Well, that classic book can still be found, let your fourth uncle show it to the magistrate tomorrow."

Lin Wan nodded immediately, "It's definitely still there, just go back and ask my father."

So early the next morning, He Anwen walked to the town on the muddy road.

When I arrived in the town, I went to Jisheng Medicine Store to find the music book, and then went to the Yamen.

The county magistrate immediately took it seriously after hearing about it. The plague is no joke.

If he can't get it right, his black hat will not be guaranteed, and maybe his life will also be lost.

"What is said in this book is indeed very reasonable, and the official will post a notice."

But I'm afraid that some villagers will not be so obedient, how could they be willing not to eat those.

Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, he asked the Yamen's arrest to go to various villages to check.

"My lord is wise." He Anwen nodded slightly.

But after a while, he said again, "There is one more thing, because of the flood, the crops will not be harvested, and there will be many people without food. Can you ask the court to send relief food?"

After he finished speaking, the county magistrate raised his eyelids, looked at him, then frowned and sighed, "It's not so easy to ask the court for relief food."

"However, I am a good official who thinks about the people, so I will do my best. He Xiucai doesn't need to worry so much."

He Anwen snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't believe it at all, but he couldn't refute it out loud, who made him just a little scholar now.

When the notice came out, it was indeed opposed by the people. There was no food in the first place, and dead poultry could not be eaten, so what did they eat?

But there was no way, the yamen sent police to check in every village, so the dead poultry had to be burned and buried, and anyone who ate them would be caught by the yamen and put in prison.

In order to prevent the occurrence of the plague, the county magistrate was also cruel.

Because all the grain this year has been confiscated, there is no rice to sell in the grain shop, so the price of grain has skyrocketed.

Brown rice, which used to cost six cents a catty, now sold for sixteen cents, not to mention round-grained rice, which went straight up to fifty cents a catty.

Su Yun felt that if this situation continued, even if she had money, she would almost be unable to buy food.

So after some deliberation, she felt relieved that she had to go to the town to buy some rice and come back.

Not only that, but she had another idea, so she called the whole family over.

"I want you to go to the grain store in the town to buy some rice and come back. Let's buy five hundred catties first, and buy it in several grain stores."

She really wanted to buy a few hundred catties, but she was afraid that no one else would buy it after buying it.

After she finished speaking, she said, "One more thing, third child, go to the town to buy some land from Zhou Yaren, 100 taels of silver, and see how much you can buy."

"Mom, our land is like that now, why do we still buy it?" He Daping looked at her with some puzzlement, and didn't quite agree in his heart.

"It is precisely because of the current situation that we want to buy land. Buy it now, so that we can lower the price with Zhou Ya people!"

"Don't think I'm unkind. Buying now is the best time, and even if we don't buy it, there are still some rich people who want to buy it." Su Yun explained quietly.

Thinking about it this way, she was right, if they don't buy it, there are others who will.

So the next day, He Daping went to the town with 100 taels of silver.

Just as Su Yun guessed, the price of land is very cheap now. A good paddy field used to cost 15 taels of silver, but now it only costs 12 taels.

He Daping turned his eyes and said, "Zhou Yaren, it's still too expensive, so, sell me a good paddy field for ten taels of silver."

"No, it's too cheap, I'll die!" Zhou Yaren refused without hesitation.

"But your current land must not be easy to sell. Even if a wealthy family is willing to buy it, the price will definitely be lower than mine, right!" He raised his hand and patted Zhou Yaren's shoulder, and said with a smile on his face .

Zhou Yaren was full of helplessness. What he said was right, because of the disaster, the current land is not easy to sell.

And after a while it might be even harder to sell, so he thought about it, and finally sold it.

After finishing the land purchase, it was already afternoon, and He Daping was going to go home quickly.

But when he was halfway there, it started to rain again.

He was startled, "No way! It's raining again!" He just bought land!

Fortunately, after he got home, the rain started to fall heavily.

"Mother, look, just after our family bought the land, it started to rain again." He Daping was so angry that he couldn't help but want to curse.

"I don't know how many days it will be this time!"

"It's only ten mu of land, and it will definitely be used in the future." Su Yun is not worried about this.

This time, it rained for another four or five days before it stopped, and the road outside was submerged again, making it impossible to walk, let alone open a shop and do business.

In this way, their family has been idle at home for more than a month.

Until this day, the village chief came to He's house.

Seeing his ugly face, Su Yun also guessed his reason for coming.

Sure enough, he soon spoke.

"Brothers and sisters, I'm here today to ask for something."

Seeing his old face, Su Yun sighed softly, "Brother Village Chief, we have been friends for so many years, why don't you ask me, if I can help, I will definitely help."
