wicked immortal

[ps: Asking for tickets and collections every day, it's annoying to be overbearing, but for new books, you must ask!beg!beg!beg! 】

"If you had seen him deal with it, you would have felt the same way I did."

"Hehe, to be valued so much by Zi Yu, I really have to see and see."

"There will definitely be surprises. However, it is a pity that although he has a very high IQ, he is just an ordinary person with no aura." Wan Ziyu looked regretful.

"Heaven is jealous of confidante, if it is really as powerful as you said, and is a cultivator, wouldn't it be struck by lightning every day! By the way, will you go with me?" Chen never dreamed that even though Zhao Yuan was not Lightning strikes, but they are also struck by lightning every now and then.

"No. Madam knows that her husband doesn't like those trivial matters, so Madam is the one to make the decision." Wan Ziyu said with a grin.

"Hmph, I just work hard."

……

"Everyone gather in the dining hall, Madam is coming soon."

As soon as Zhao Yuan finished his meal, Zhu Dapao called the workers to the canteen to gather.

The dining hall is next to the kitchen. There are more than a dozen dining tables in the courtyard, which can accommodate nearly 200 people. Although this is a place to eat, few people usually come here to eat. Everyone prefers to squat in the courtyard with a pot in their hands. Squat in a circle and chat while eating.

Another function of the dining hall is to hold meetings.

Everyone gathered in the canteen, noisy, Zhao Yuan and Guo Futou found a corner to sit down, he didn't want to attract Chen's attention.In Zhao Yuan's eyes, Chen is an extremely shrewd woman.

It wasn't until Mrs. Chen walked into the dining hall that she became quiet.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Mrs. Chen glanced at the dining hall, "Recently, Xujiaqiao has been troubled, and everyone must have seen it this morning. Thousands of victims, I expect this situation will become more and more serious as the weather gets colder. The more serious it is. Yesterday I came back from Tongcheng, and along the way there were people suffering from hunger and cold. Every day, people froze to death and starved to death on the road. Now, those people are gathering towards big cities and small towns, and the number of them is increasing. The number of hungry people in Xujiaqiao has exceeded [-], and it is increasing every day..."

"Maybe you haven't understood what I'm going to say. Everyone must know the famines in 5' and 1255. In that famine, the Great Qin Empire lost 600 million people. It was 600 million, not 60, and it was not six million. Ten thousand. Do you know how many people there are in Xujiaqiao? Less than 20, the entire Xujiaqiao is only 2000 people within hundreds of miles. In fact, that is just official statistics. It is said that the total number of people who died that time has exceeded ten million. The surrounding countries that are not affected. It is conservatively estimated that the entire Zhanyun Continent has a death population of [-] million..."

"Do you know how those people died?"

"Some of them starved to death, and more people were killed. Those hungry people who were dizzy and dizzy gathered together and became a mob. They were like locusts on the land of the Great Qin Empire Torturing, burning, killing, looting wherever he went, thousands of miles of uninhabited..."

……

"This year, history repeated itself. Floods and droughts occurred in many places in the Great Qin Empire. Moreover, this winter was more than a month earlier. Thousands of miles were frozen, and the dripping water turned into ice. The lives of the victims were even more difficult, and the hungry people gathered. This is an ominous sign."

"Xujiaqiao is remote and has not been affected yet. However, I want to tell everyone that we will definitely be affected. If we do not take action, we will become victims of famine. I can tell you for sure that once the hungry people are on the verge of death At that time, they will become a mob more terrifying than beasts, and at that time, morality and law will lose their restraint."

"Now, we have to prepare with both hands. First, give out as much porridge as possible for disaster relief; second, take up arms and be ready to fight at any time. In addition, all the workers of Wanjia can bring their families to Wanjia. The males live in the east. The unused warehouse in the courtyard, and the women’s family lives in the wing room of the west courtyard. When everyone returns home, inform the family to bring food and valuables..."

Seeing Chen's unhurried speech, Zhao Yuan secretly admired, this woman is really scheming, she actually let the workers bring their family members to Wan's compound, that undoubtedly kidnapped the workers' fate to Wan's family On the body, when the time comes, if anyone wants to harm the Wan family, he will naturally resist desperately.

"Okay, that's all for now... Hey, by the way, I don't know if you have any good suggestions for us to tide over the difficulties together..." Chen Shi was just about to leave when she suddenly remembered what Wan Ziyu said, stopped her body, He looked for Zhao Yuan among the crowd.

"Zhao Yuan!"

Before Chen's words fell, the sound of Guo Futou's urgency sounded.Guo Ax gets along with Zhao Yuan every day and learns a lot from Zhao Yuan. In Guo Ax's eyes, Zhao Yuan is the smartest person in the world.

Zhao Yuan wanted to pull Guo Axe, but it was too late, so he could only complain secretly.Zhao Yuan naturally didn't know, Guo Futou regarded him as a pearl covered by dust, he wished to let everyone know that Zhao Yuan was a shining pearl.

"Zhao Yuan, do you have any suggestions?" Chen was secretly surprised. She knew that Guo Futou was withdrawn and reticent. Anyone could recommend something like this in public, but he couldn't. He, Guo Futou, was the first to recommend it.

"No." Zhao Yuan replied very simply.

"Zhao Yuan, if you think about it carefully, if our Wan family is down, then the East Yard will be down. If the East Yard is down, you, and Guo Futou, all the workers here will have no place to live." Chen said indifferently. road.

Guo Axe, all the workers...

Zhao Yuan was stunned.

All of a sudden, he actually had a little concern for the East Courtyard.

Chef Luo and Chef Lei who often get red-faced because of bragging and arguing, Mrs. Luo who likes to introduce daughter-in-law to others, Mrs. Lei who often takes care of sick workers, Zhu Dapao who is outspoken and loud, Mr. Seven, the concierge who seems to sleep all day, and Mr. There is Guo Futou who likes to listen to him talk, and Jia Deaf who only knows how to do things...

"Maybe there is..."

"If you have something, tell everyone." A smile appeared on the corner of Chen's mouth.

"Ma'am, Xujiaqiao's land is fertile, rich in products, and hasn't been affected by disasters. It's not a problem to feed tens of thousands of people, let alone a few thousand. Madam, as long as the big households in Xujiaqiao are called together to give porridge and distribute some winter clothes to keep out the cold, the hungry people will naturally be happy." It's going to be a mob and all the problems will be solved."

"I've already thought of this method. Moreover, I've been visiting local gentry households all day long. However, it's just a perfunctory act. No one is willing to come out to help the disaster. Instead, they all want to hoard food to make a fortune." Chen There was a look of anger on his face.

"Then the matter will be complicated. I wonder if Madam will continue to give porridge and relief?"

"Yes."

"Could it be that the mistress thinks that the Wan family can feed thousands of starving people alone?"

"No."

"Yes!" Zhao Yuan replied affirmatively.

"Could it be that you really asked our Wan family to raise those thousands of starving people?" Chen's face showed a sullen look.

"Yes. The grain in Wanjia's warehouse is enough to feed thousands of people. If Wanjia is willing to buy the excess grain from the tenants at a high price, then there is no problem for Wanjia to feed tens of thousands of people."

"Hehe, yes, with Wanjia's property, let alone a few thousand people, if it's just to fill their stomachs, even tens of thousands of people can support them. However, tens of thousands of people can be supported until the snow melts next year. , Our Wan family must have gone bankrupt. Besides, there are thousands of hungry people, if the news spreads and swarms come, our Wan family will not be able to support all the hungry people even if we sell everything." Chen said with a smile instead of anger.

"No, no, madam is wrong. The Wan family is not raised for nothing. The Xujia Bridge is sparsely populated. The Wan family has barren mountains and ridges in the Xujia Bridge. The mistress can let those hungry people work for the Wan family to open up wasteland and build roads, dredge water conservancy, and the Wan family will continue to work. The family only needs to provide the hungry people with clothes to keep out the cold and food to fill their stomachs, and, in case of a mob running around, our manpower is enough to defend..."

"Open up wasteland!" Chen's eyes lit up.

"Yes, this kills two birds with one stone. Wanjia can get a lot of cheap labor with very little effort. Moreover, after the land reclamation, when the spring blossoms in the coming year, many disaster victims may stay and become Wanjia's tenants. .And the barren hills that opened up just happened to come in handy.”
