When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 254 Preparations for Little Ice River
Seeing that everyone is not very interested, Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "Don't worry so much, as long as we make preparations early, our family will definitely not be affected."

"Don't think too much, I'll tell you about Little Binghe after dinner, so you can understand."

"It's not a big deal..."

Perhaps what Li Xiuzhu said made everyone relax. After a meal, everyone ate well.

"Husband, tell me about Little Binghe, otherwise we won't feel at ease."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard the words, and said, "The Little Ice River is actually a saying that evolved from the Big Ice River. It mainly means that the world will become colder."

"There are more cold periods, which will affect the growth of crops. You should understand the meaning of this sentence."

"If it really entered the Little Ice Age, maybe people didn't feel much about it in the first two years. At most, they would think it was a minor disaster year, but if the Little Ice Age appears, it will usually be cold for decades or decades."

"It's okay for a year or two, but if the grain production has been reduced for decades, what do you think will happen?"

This question is too easy to guess, so just after Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, Li Biyao said: "The food production has decreased. If the nobles with land production still collect food as before, it will inevitably cause a large number of people to not have enough to eat."

"If it reaches the point where it is about to starve to death, then some people will rebel."

"In normal times, even if someone raises an army, not many people will follow. After all, who is willing to fight to the death if they can survive."

"But if you don't have enough to eat, then everyone will respond, and then the world will be in chaos as my husband said."

Li Xiuzhu nodded affirmatively when he heard the words, and said: "Although the food production in Xiaobinghe has been reduced, it is enough to keep everyone from starving to death."

"Its biggest problem is that the upper echelons are unwilling to let go of the benefits. If all the food is used for food, except for those who may freeze to death, there will basically be no major casualties."

"But the world is never personal or collective."

"Even His Majesty can't order all the aristocratic families and merchants in the world to open warehouses for free."

The largest granary in the world is in the aristocratic family, and even the merchants are workers.

Hearing what Li Xiuzhu said, Fu Yuehua frowned and asked: "Then what does the husband want to do? If it's just our family, even if we spend all our money, we won't be able to subsidize the whole world."

"Of course not. I have three ideas: one is to go to Siam in the Western Regions to buy grain."

"Secondly, do some good deeds. Build some roads, latrines, if there are disaster victims, you can also provide porridge, adopt some orphans, and let them pay off their debts with their work."

"Three, harvest a large piece of land and plant some special crops."

Hearing Li Xiuzhu's words, Nongyue asked strangely: "I can understand other things, why are you building roads and toilets?"

"Is it possible that roads and latrines can also promote the growth of crops?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"Otherwise, why do you think there is someone in the brothel to collect Yexiang?"

"Just to deal with feces?"

"In fact, feces contain trace elements that have not been absorbed by the human body. Simply put, the better you eat, the more nutritious you are."

"The land irrigated with these feces is the first-class fertile land."

"Building latrines is to make the environment of the capital better, and the second is to irrigate the fertile fields and make the crops grow more vigorously."

"As for road construction, there are also particular points. One is to benefit the people, and the other is to speed up the construction of the capital."

"Many nearby villages may not be able to enter Beijing once a year because of the difficult roads, but if the roads are easy to travel, how about freight transportation?"

"Usually, the seasonal vegetables that can only be bartered in the village can be returned to the capital. Do you think anyone will come?"

"There are also fruits. In fact, fruits are not difficult to grow. The most important reason why fruits are difficult to popularize is that they are difficult to preserve. They are often destroyed when they are ripe and transported to big cities."

"If the freshness of the fruit can be guaranteed, it will definitely make a profit without losing money. We can even be a middleman after repairing the road."

"Buy the fruits from the villagers and bring them to the capital for sale."

"Even a fruit garden can be specially built."

When Fu Yuehua, who was in charge of the family business, heard the words, her eyes lit up immediately, she could see the huge potential in it.

Suddenly, Fu Yuehua volunteered and said, "Husband, you can leave this matter to me."

Li Xiuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

"In our family, you and Yunshuang will definitely hand over the money to you, but don't work too hard. If there is any sister who wants to help you, you can do it together."

"You have fewer things to do, and you can spend more time with me at home."

Fu Yuehua's heart warmed up when he heard the words, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes secretly, without me, you still have no one to accompany this family, can't you?
"Then you can bring Cheng Cheng back as soon as possible. I chatted with Cheng Cheng before and found that she also has a strong ability to manage affairs."

Speaking of which, Fu Yuehua looked at the other sisters, and continued to speak: "Honglei also come to help, if others want to help, they can follow suit first."

Xi Honglei actually didn't really want to take care of things, but Fu Yuehua had already opened her mouth. What can she say as a concubine?
"Okay, when Cheng Cheng comes, Cheng Cheng and I will get acquainted with my sister first."

"it is good."

Hearing Fu Yuehua mention Xihonglei again, he was relieved.

I knew that Fu Yuehua didn't plan to use this as an excuse.

It's not that he's afraid of Fu Yuehua, it's mainly because Suru is wrong.

"I originally planned to pick up people today, but I didn't expect it to snow. Now I'm hesitating whether to leave today or wait for the snow to stop."

After hearing the words, Fu Yuehua thought for a while and said, "Let's go today. I don't know how long the snow will fall, and the ice will start to melt as soon as the sun comes out. If you're skating, it's easy for the carriage to slip and cause accidents."

"If we wait for the snow to completely melt, I'm afraid we will have to wait until the next year."

"It's better to pick it up years ago. By the way, walk slowly on the road. If you are late, you can come back tomorrow."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard the words, he thought so too.

"Okay, then I'll go there, and you don't stay outside for too long. Although there is a fire, the temperature difference changes too much, and it's easy to catch cold."

"It's getting late, so I'm going now."

Li Xiuzhu's heart immediately warmed up when he thought of Suru, who was as gentle as water and had a firm temperament.

Hey, maybe he has inherited Prime Minister Cao's Jian'an spirit, but fortunately he has also inherited the traditions of Eastern Wu and the traditional virtues of Western Shu.

The carriage was not moving fast, and the heavy wheels compacted the snow layer by layer.

Fortunately, the snow hadn't melted, the road was not slippery, and the carriage traveled fairly steadily.

At the same time, in Li Xiuzhu's suburban mansion, Su Chengcheng was lying by the window watching the snow scene.

The silver-white snow scene seems to wash away the mood.

At this time, there was a plum tree in the courtyard. When thousands of trees withered and withered, only this plum tree exuded vitality.

At first glance, Su Chengcheng was admiring the plum blossoms, but her eyes were empty right now, and the focus of her eyes was not on the plum blossoms wrapped in silver at all.

Why didn't Brother Xiuzhu come to see me, did he forget me?
