ox!Fleeing famine with the future emperor's cub

Wu Qingxi was in a good mood, walking and chatting with Wu Qingmiao.

Suddenly, his eyes glanced at a certain position, and his expression changed slightly.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go back, parents should be anxious." Wu Qingxi frowned, he's here?

Wu Qingmiao looked around and found nothing unusual.

"Is it really okay?"

Wu Qingxi nodded, thinking that he was wrong about it.

The man hiding in the dark breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he was not found.

If the task assigned by the master is not completed, he will have no face to go back to the hidden guard.

The people in the village began to come back slowly one by one.

I just experienced Taonan once, and I feel that things are different.

Wu Qingxi went to look at the field once, and the barrenness is not the main thing, the most important thing is that the soil quality seems to be destroyed.

"I don't know if we can find crops after planting?" Father Wu sighed while smoking the dry tobacco.

It's the dog days now, and it's definitely not possible to plant rice seedlings in time, but it's still possible to plant some sweet potatoes.

Sprinkle some cabbage seeds, at least it can cover your mouth.

It's not just Wu's father who is worried, every household is thinking about it in the field.

Suddenly, the sound of gongs sounded in the village.

This is the voice of the village announcing the meeting. Wu Dae and Wu Qinghe have already passed.

"Sister, do you have any ideas?" Wu Qingmu looked forward to it.

My sister is so smart, maybe she has other ideas.

Wu Qingxi shook her head, farming is indeed not her strong point.

However, she has a lot of space seeds.

Father Wu left for an hour before coming back, and when he came back, he had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

"Old man, what are the village chief and Li Zheng talking about?"

Father Wu took a sip of water and let out a long breath before opening his mouth: "Lizheng said, the county magistrate who came earlier has already issued a notice that there is a medicinal powder for improving the soil quality. By then, every village will have it per mu of land. It's just a matter of seeds. You need to solve it yourself. And the higher-ups have made it clear that there will be no space left in the field.”

"Why? Is it against the law if you don't want to plant?" Wu Qingmu was the first to ask.

Father Wu slapped him on the back of the head: "What do you know, if you don't plant this season, how do you know if the soil quality is good? If the wheat doesn't grow in autumn, next year everyone will have to drink the northwest wind."

Wu Qingxi nodded after hearing this, this Yunjin was really bothering her.

Now everyone is short of food and drink. Although most people will not leave the fields empty, it is always right to be just in case.

"Father, what about the seeds? What did the county magistrate say? If there is a catastrophe, the imperial court must subsidize some, right?" Wu Qingxi asked.

Father Wu sighed: "This is the problem. This year, Min County suffered a lot of disasters. The imperial court subsidized fifty copper coins per mu of land. If it is not enough, find a way."

Fifty copper coins per mu?

Wu Qingxi remembers that their family has about six acres of land, which is three hundred copper coins.

If it was before, it might be okay.

But judging from her shopping yesterday, the prices in Min County have risen sharply.

I'm afraid that this little money is only enough for the seeds of a maximum of two acres of land.

It doesn't matter to their family, after all, her family has a strong family background, but it's not necessarily the case for other families.

Wu Qingxi listened to her mother chatting with the neighbor's aunt, and many people fled famine and spent all their money.

Don't talk about hundreds of copper coins now, I'm afraid there won't be much left over.

Yun Jin was also troubled.

He didn't expect that the disaster relief funds would be exploited layer by layer when he was in charge in person.

It's not that those people are desperate, it's just that they have a backstage.

I knew that things wouldn't go so smoothly when I came here this time, but by doing such a trick from the beginning, it was obvious that I was giving him a blow.

After all, they are restless.

"Where are the seeds I asked to buy before?"

"Master, I have gone to all the counties and towns in the surrounding area, but the quantity is still not enough. If it is farther away, it will not be cost-effective. Excluding the cost of purchase, it will be a problem to transport it here."

Yun Jin was stunned for a moment, the Yun family were all civil servants, so if it was talking about lip service, it would be fine.

But if you start your hands, your weaknesses will be exposed.

I really have money in hand, but I don't know how to spend it.

"Or, let's find the master..."

Yun Jin raised her hand: "No, don't alarm the old man about such a trivial matter, I have my own points."

His grandfather is a grand tutor, and his father is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. If they make a move, it will be a joke.

"But……"

"No, but, and, I don't want to repeat myself twice in the future, understand?"

"Yes." Aunt Yunli cupped her hands and backed away silently.

Although he was arranged by the master by the young master's side, he must know how to advance and retreat.

Yun Jin frowned, looking at the dim oil lamp in silence.

Grandpa gave him a team of elite troops in private to protect his safety.

If let them...

Before he finished thinking, the oil lamp suddenly jumped.

"Who?" His words had just reached his lips, and he swallowed them after he saw who was coming.

"I have something to discuss with you." Wu Qingxi's expression was very relaxed.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, Yun Jin couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat: "Are they all right?"

Wu Qingxi smiled lightly: "Seeing that they are tired, let them sleep for a while, and they will wake up naturally after an hour."

There was no change on Yunjin's face, but she was thinking in her heart: Is this the so-called elite?

Are they too weak, or is this woman too strong?

"Hey, thank you for returning the umbrella." Wu Qingxi put the umbrella on the table.

"You came here just to return the umbrella?" Yun Jin couldn't believe it.

"Of course not, this is just a matter of course. I came to you to discuss business."

Wu Qingxi's expression was a bit serious: "The fact that the imperial court subsidizes fifty copper coins per mu of land should give you a headache, right? If there is such a famine and riot this year, it will be harder to deal with than you, right?"

She was so sure that Yun Jin almost thought that she already knew her identity.

"So, what do you want to say?"

"I have a large number of seeds here, and I can give them to you. With this batch of seeds, it will be difficult for everyone to go hungry. Of course, the premise is that you can improve the soil quality."

Although Yunjin didn't believe it, she still told the truth: "The medicinal powder for improving soil quality has arrived at the Yamen, and someone will strictly guard it. It will be distributed in the next few days. As long as it rains, the soil quality will definitely be fine."

"As for the seeds, how many do you have?" Based on the principle of counting, Yunjin actually didn't give much hope.

"How much do you want?"

There are thirteen towns in Min County, and there are four or five villages under each town, and each village has at least two to three hundred mu of land.

Calculated in this way, Min County must have at least [-] mu of land.

"Twenty thousand mu of land, no matter what kind of seeds, I'm afraid there will be no shortage."

The corner of Wu Qingxi's mouth raised slightly: "[-] catties of cabbage and radish seeds, [-] catties of sweet potato seeds, is that enough?"

Yun Jin: ...

Would you like to hear what you are saying?
It's not that he doesn't believe in Wu Qingxi, even normal people don't believe it.

One hundred thousand catties of sweet potatoes?I am afraid that the Kyoto granary does not have so much stock.
