Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 110 New mission, idea

As soon as Jiang Erya and Li Zheng arrived at the Hucao Office, they met Zhao Wenchang, the magistrate of Zhao County.

Zhao Wenchang regarded Jiang Erya as a person blessed by God, and made up his mind to get closer to Jiang Erya's father and daughter, so as to rub their luck.Seeing Jiang Erya, he immediately walked over.

Zhao Wenchang got closer and closer. Just as Jiang Erya was about to say hello, she heard a "ding" from the system, releasing a new random task for her.

"Mission: Assist Zhao Wenchang in dealing with disaster relief matters, so that Qingjiang County can restore normal life and production order as soon as possible..."

Jiang Erya rubbed the space between her eyebrows. When she expelled the pirates in Dongchang County, she felt that the dog system wanted to release her a task related to Zhao Wenchang.

At that time, she yelled at it a few words, and it stopped.

Unexpectedly, she has returned to Qingjiang County, and it is inevitable that she will be tied to Zhao Wenchang to do a mission.

However, as long as Zhao Wenchang doesn't want to bring up the past again, and let her be his follower and assist him in disaster relief, she is still willing to do it.

Zhao Wenchang walked up to Jiang Erya, and quietly announced the good news, "The method you said is very effective, I let the victims of the disaster go to rob it once, and those gentry and wealthy households were much more honest.

I got a total of 6000 taels of silver and 220 shi of grain from them last night! "

Jiang Erya looked at the county magistrate and other county magistrates a few steps away, and said to Zhao Wenchang, "Let's talk alone?"

Zhao Wenchang invited Jiang Erya and Xinglin Village to the inner room of Hu Cao's office.

The reason why Xinglin Village Zheng was invited is to avoid suspicion, after all, Jiang Erya is a pretty little girl.

If he went into the inner room alone with her, those people with ulterior motives would definitely pour dirty water on them.

After the tea was served, Zhao Wenchang turned away the people around him and chatted with Jiang Erya.

Li Zheng was so excited, he sat at the same table with the county magistrate!

He obviously didn't drink, but he seemed to be drunk, and his whole heart was in a turmoil.

He couldn't hear what Zhao Wenchang and Jiang Erya were talking about at all, because all his energy was spent on sitting upright.

Jiang Erya patted Lizheng on the shoulder, signaling him not to be nervous, but to relax.

However, Li Zheng couldn't do it at all.

Jiang Erya ignored him and asked Zhao Wenchang directly.

"You have got the silver and food, so what are you going to do next?"

In her opinion, Zhao Wenchang's character is not bad, but his ability to be an official is really bad.

Jiang Erya never wronged him by saying that he was poor.

A capable official will not make the official smaller and smaller, and it is even less likely that he will be taken as a dog by a wealthy gentry in such a small place as Qingjiang County.

Yesterday, she taught him that if he got the money and food, it was equivalent to helping him catch a good hand of cards.

Now that she has taken over the task of assisting him in disaster relief, she can't watch him play this good hand to pieces.

She wanted to hear his thoughts first and see how he would play his cards.

Zhao Wenchang expressed his thoughts.

"The most important thing is to replant the grain. I have already bought the grain, which can be distributed to the victims immediately, so that the victims can replant it quickly.

Under this drought, the population of Qingjiang County has dropped by at least one-third, and there will definitely be a large area of ​​land left uncultivated. I will also arrange for people to replant this part.

The second most important thing is to distribute relief food to the affected people.Starting tomorrow, ten porridge sheds will be set up outside the city gate to distribute relief food.The porridge can't be thin, it must be inserted with chopsticks, and it must be wrapped in a towel so that it does not seep.

The third is the problem of using the money raised to buy food.I am more worried about this.

The bandits in Heifeng Village are too powerful, they have already robbed a batch of relief food, if we go to buy food again, they will definitely come to rob again.

If General Cao was still around, we wouldn't have to be afraid of them.

It's a pity that General Cao has already led his Xuanjia Army back to Kyoto. "

When Zhao Wenchang said this, he looked at Jiang Erya with earnest eyes, "How about you run for me and escort me back with a batch of disaster relief food?

You alone can expel nearly a hundred pirates from Duoduo Island. If I prepare another hundred and ten people for you, you should be able to deal with those bandits in Heifengzhai, right? "

Jiang Erya rubbed her eyebrows again.

"I have no plans to travel far."

There is a clingy little goblin at home, and she hasn't cared enough. At this time, she doesn't want to escort anyone for disaster relief, and she doesn't want to deal with the Black Wind Village.

"Leave the third thing for now, I'll talk about it later. Let's talk about your first two plans first.

There is nothing wrong with replanting food.

The only point is that those fields that have been vacated due to the sharp drop in population cannot just be replanted with grain seeds. Without regular maintenance, they will not be able to obtain a good harvest.

In my opinion, you don't need to send people to plant or take care of those fields, just sell them. "

Jiang Erya rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "The ones around Xinglin Village are best sold to me."

Zhao Wenchang didn't know her small thoughts, and thought she was really thinking of him, so he clapped his hands and said, "It's good to sell, it's good to sell, so I don't have to waste the manpower and material resources of the county government to manage those things. The fields are gone.

The money collected from selling the fields can also be used for disaster relief.

Kill two birds with one stone! "

Jiang Erya nodded, and continued: "Over there at the porridge shed, don't pursue things that won't fall over with chopsticks, and won't seep through wrapped in a towel. For the first month, you can try to make the porridge as thin as possible. Just make sense."

Zhao Wenchang was puzzled, "The purpose of our disaster relief is to prevent the victims from starving to death. If the porridge is so thin, who can eat enough?"

Jiang Erya reminded: "Don't forget, you only have 6000 taels of silver and 220 shi of grain.

The money and food are in your hands, and they will last at least five or six months, until the replanted food is harvested.

However, there are nearly [-] victims in Qingjiang County, and there are so many mouths to eat. Such a small amount of money and food cannot last for such a long time.

You can't just be generous, you have to find a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Cooking gruel for a month is a good way to save money.

Yesterday, almost everyone in Qingjiang County went to the homes of rich gentry to grab food, some carried three or four bags home, and some carried one or two bags...

With that food, they would not be able to starve to death within a month.

When they are really running out of food, you will save their lives by taking out the relief food and boiling it so that it will not fall over with chopsticks and wrapped in a towel so that it will not leak. "

Zhao Wenchang thought about it carefully, then nodded slowly.

"Let's talk about the third question. Do you want to go out to buy food, but are you worried that people from Heifeng Village will rob you?"

Zhao Wenchang nodded again.

Jiang Erya said: "You don't need to send people to buy grain at all.

Haven't you already agreed with those gentry and wealthy households in Qingjiang County not to worry about their raising food prices?
Now that you have agreed, you have to do what you say.

When they raise the price of grain to a certain level, you can send some people to other places to publicize the high grain price in Qingjiang County, and lure those grain merchants from other places and their grain..."
