"One year of drought, one year of freezing, how do you live these days!"
Mrs. Xu couldn't help sighing when she heard what Elder Xu said.
Mr. Xu is silent.
Last year’s severe drought, although there was a torrential rain later, there
was no end to the drought, but most of the people in Xiangyi Prefecture had
only some sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger. I don’t know how many
families are waiting for a good year this year.
However, the arrival of this cold spring is no less than pouring a scoop of
ice water on the people of Xiangyi Mansion.
"Always able to live!"
After a long while, Mr. Xu gave such an answer.
Yes, it can always be done.
When the two of them fled all the way to Lingshui Village, it was not just
such a sentence.
"Master, in such a year, let Fubao play around like this, is it appropriate?"
Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu with a worried expression on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Mr. Xu smiled slightly, "This year is not good. Do something like this, just
for everyone to have fun together. By that time, people in the village will
eat and drink together and make a fuss, and they will feel better."
"Am I worried about this?"
Mrs. Xu glared at Mr. Xu, "Everyone's life is not easy. Our family is still
like this. Isn't this attractive?"
"Daughter-in-law, you think too much about that!"
Hearing the words of his daughter-in-law, Mr. Xu immediately became happy, "In
our family's current situation, even if it is pretending to be poor, do you
think anyone believes it?"
"Don't forget, your man is also a Hou Ye!"
"Your eldest son is a fifth-rank general, and your second son is Feng Yong Wu
Bo!"
"Your youngest son is Xie Yuan now!"
"Oh, by the way, Fubao is the head of the county herself and has a salary!"
"Also, you are now Madam Yipin!"
"Our house, no matter what time it is, it's always eye-catching!"
"..."
Mrs. Xu was silent.
She knows all of these.
It's just that many times, she didn't take these in mind. After all, there
were ordinary people around, and she didn't take this seal seriously.
"Don't worry, no matter how the world changes, there will be no problem at all
for our grandfathers to protect you."
This is not a boast.
Today's Anshun County, even Xiangyi Mansion, Father Xu can be independent from
Datang with a scream.
In Anshun County, a lot of arrests from the capital of the capital came, and
Father Xu arranged these people properly through Yang Yunyi's relationship.
On the side of Xiangyi Mansion, Huang Fengkou fought, and the prestige of
Father Xu and Xu Lao Er had already been engraved in the hearts of the army of
Xiangyi Mansion.
"Master, you said, should we talk to my uncle and think of a way to stock up
some food first?"
"Yes, you have to stock up some food first!"
Father Xu slapped his thigh fiercely, "Daughter-in-law, you are on the point
of this matter!"
The Zhao family's industry spread throughout the Tang Dynasty and involved all
aspects. The Zhao family did things like farming grain without any leaks and
would not attract the slightest attention of the court.
Even, Mr. Xu felt that his little uncle had been doing food stuffing secretly.
The reason why he felt this way was because of the drought in Xiangyi
Prefecture last year.
You know, even if the imperial court distributes food for disaster relief, it
is impossible to deliver the food for the entire Xiangyi Prefecture all at
once.
But his little uncle did it.
In this way, in the eyes of ordinary people, this can also prove that his
uncle is not bad for money. But Father Xu has seen the rice grains, they are
all old grains, two or three years old grains.
Under normal circumstances, if these grains are purchased temporarily, they
must be a mixture of new and old grains.
Unfortunately, it is not.
Mr. Xu did not tell Mrs. Xu his guess, nor did he tell anyone. Instinctively
told him that his little uncle had a great plan.
If Elder Xu is still full of resentment towards the Zhao family in the
capital, he will definitely use this to get something out. But after reading
the letter left by his mother, Mr. Xu changed his mind.
In addition, he really doesn't have a good impression of the current court, so
he will only look at it.
If it is really a chaos in the world, then he doesn't mind pushing it and
ruining the current royal family.
Although he had some favors with Yan Wang, after the First World War in Huang
Fengkou, Mr. Xu was also unhappy with Yan Wang. This kind of discomfort, as
time goes by, has not diminished, but has become more and more intense.
When King Yan returned from Longxi Mansion and met Mr. Xu on the way, the real
reason why Mr. Xu said so that King Yan returned to the capital was this.
Father Xu was able to go out, so he went to Guan Laoqi first, and talked about
Fubao's skating competition.
"Brother Xu, is this appropriate?"
Guan Laoqi grumbled.
This cold spring is so fierce, it is doomed to come late this spring. And the
spring that comes this evening will inevitably delay normal spring ploughing.
It used to be able to plant two crops a year, but now this spring is late, I
am afraid that only one crop can be planted.
If the crops are planted, there will be droughts and floods, this day will
really be impossible. Under such circumstances, isn't it hateful to make this
skating competition?
"Old seven brothers, don't I just look at the bad years and do something for
everyone, come out and relax?"
"At the skating competition tomorrow, my family pays food and meat. Tell the
people in the village, come to have fun, eat and drink, and relax. Don't think
about the year of this year."
"What can we do even if we are so sad about this God's matter?"
"You said, is this the reason?"
"It really is!"
Guan Laoqi let out a long sigh.
The truth is easy to understand.
It's a pity that it's hard to think about it.
But if Father Xu wants to do this, Guan Laoqi naturally has no objection. Most
importantly, it's useless if he has opinions. Mr. Xu is the canonized master
of the court. If Mr. Xu assumes this status, he will not even have the
qualifications to speak to Mr. Xu.
This means that Mr. Xu doesn't pay attention to these, otherwise, his status
would be far off.
After talking about this with Guan Laoqi, Father Xu found out with Mr. Xu and
Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu to discuss the matter of buying food.
"Father, there will definitely be a food shortage here, I think, if you want
to buy food, you have to be as early as possible!"
Xu Laosan gave his answer directly without thinking about it.
Boss Xu thought for a while and said, "Father, you should definitely buy food,
but you have to consider how to buy it and where to store it after you buy
it!"
"After all, if there is a real shortage of food, people can do anything to
fill their stomachs!"
"Isn't it easy?"
After Xu Lao Er spoke with Boss Xu, he had an expression that I had seen
everything through, "Go to Jiangnan to buy it. After you buy it, it will be
stored in the town."
"Our family, open a rice shop directly in the town!"
