Medicine Fragrance Pastoral: Nongmen Pretty Lady

Chapter 355
It wasn't until the autumn harvest season that the pest plague subsided throughout the Dajin Dynasty, but the common people could only cry in their arms. Even if the emperor exempted this year's tax, they still couldn't support themselves.

A large number of disaster victims emerged in many places. Even if the emperor opened a warehouse to provide food, it was still useless, because the food relief was exploited layer by layer, and very little was actually distributed to the common people.

At the beginning, the common people still had some food to eat, even if they were harmed, they still had a little harvest, but after winter, the victims of the disaster became more and more.

Qingshan Town plus the surrounding counties, in short, Bai Xuening helped Bai Xueyan to keep all the counties managed by the magistrate Bai Xueyan.

She has a lot of food, but in order not to cause confusion, the food can't be given for free. The government will come forward and distribute it according to the head.

In fact, whether to pay back or not, that's all. Bai Xuening is kind-hearted, even if the common people don't pay for the food in the coming year, Bai Xuening will not say anything, besides, she has already earned so much from other places!
With Bai Xuening, a local rich man, the lives of the people in these counties under Bai Xueyan's management are similar to before, nothing more than a lot of IOUs, but other counties are not, homeless, buying and selling children, and even worse. Cannibalism!
The lives of these counties managed by Bai Xueyan are stable, so he couldn't help but have disaster victims from all over the world come to seek refuge. At the beginning, Bai Xueyan refused them to enter for the stability of the counties he governed. Later, under Bai Xuening's suggestion , allowing some victims to enter every day.

Of course, these victims were all taken in by Bai Xuening, and they were arranged in his own forest land, where there were built slave dormitories and several built restaurants that were not used, and were all used to house these slaves.

It is estimated that Bai Xueyan will be promoted again because of this disaster relief. Bai Xueyan once wrote to the emperor that not only do the counties he governs not need disaster relief food, but they also have food to sell, but they need money to buy it.

In this disaster year, the price of food is very high, and in many places even the rich cannot buy food, because this year's natural disaster has hit the whole world, not just one country, but all three countries need food.

Bai Xuening's family had food, but the entire Dajin Dynasty was short of food, and because of Bai Xueyan's letter, even the emperor knew that Bai Xuening's family had a lot of surplus food.

Now that there is food, she is a mother. After learning that Bai Xuening has food, the emperor sent two people with more status in the court to talk to Bai Xuening about buying food, and one of them was the Marquis of Dingyuan.

Ding Yuanhou did not expect that the concubine who was kicked out of the house by him back then would have the achievements she has today, and even her concubine brother who could help her was promoted to three ranks in succession. You must know that in ancient times, promotion was not an easy task To do something, there must be real achievements.

Now the price of grain on the market is seven times that of the original. For example, a pound of fine rice used to cost 10 Wen, but now it can’t be bought for 70 Wen. Ten cents a catty.

However, the price of meat has not risen much. After all, the pests and droughts cannot harm the prey on the mountain. Hunters can still continue hunting, and the price is three times higher than usual, so that the price of food is about to catch up Meat!
