Chapter 139 Visiting the Village
Lin Ting'an was worried, so she put on her clothes and walked to the window to look outside.
Yi Shengwan was still locked outside the door. Yang Yuanzu walked to the door and signaled the nursing home to open the door.
A reader who doesn't care about length.
An official who looks like the leader of a beggar gang.
This was their first impression of each other.
"I've seen you here, sir. May I ask you where you are from, what kind of official position you have, and why you came here late at night?" Yang Yuanzu asked at the door without inviting anyone in.
Yi Shengwan handed over a government identity card. Yang Yuanzu took it and saw that it was the governor. Then he handed the identity card back with both hands and invited the person into the house.
The Yang family does not have the habit of working night shifts. Due to the recent special period, they have arranged for the nursing home to take turns working night shifts. Other servants should rest as usual.
There was too much movement in the yard, and those who were light sleepers were woken up, while those who were deep sleepers were still snoring.
Xiao Fan was standing in the yard with three servants. When he saw Yang Yuanzu inviting people into the house, he said to everyone: "You two men go to the main room to wait. Yang Wu, you and I stay outside."
Yi Shengwan sat down, and Suning offered him a cup of cold boiled water and said, "Your Excellency came so suddenly that there was no time to boil water and make tea in the house. However, the servants have already gone to the kitchen to turn on the stove and make a fire. The hot tea will have to wait for a while, Your Excellency." Drink some water to quench your thirst."
Yi Shengwan said nonchalantly: "No, just plain water." Yi Shengwan was really thirsty, so he drank more than half of the water in the cup and then said to Yang Yuanzu: "I came here this time because of the drought. I had no intention of doing so before. I saw your article on the rural examination, and the measures to deal with the drought are very practical, but there are still a few points that I am not sure about and I want to ask for advice."
"Your Majesty, you are very polite. Please tell me. Xiaosheng must know everything and tell you everything."
"What is this high-yield food? And the refugees are relocating the labor force to build buildings to promote commercial development..."
Yi Shengwan had many questions to ask, and Yang Yuanzu tried his best to explain them to him. He did not expect that even in ancient times, he would not be able to escape the fate of working overtime at night.
In the past, I stayed up late at night to study my studies, but now I stay up late at night to study my future.
Suning cleverly brewed two cups of strong tea to refresh her mind, but still only took out the dried sweet potatoes to entertain the guests.
In special times, you have to keep a low profile when you need to, and you have to pretend to be poor when you need to pretend to be poor. These are Yang Yuanzu's original words, and the servants of the Yang family always remember them.
Lin Ting'an hid in the dark to observe at first, but when he saw that the conversation between the two was not over for a long time, his legs became numb again when he stood, so he awkwardly returned to the bed and lay down to wait for Yang Yuanzu, and finally fell asleep due to sleepiness.
Unexpectedly, he was awakened by the barking of dogs outside just after falling asleep. Lin Ting'an murmured in a daze: "Husband... go... and see... sleepy..."
No one responded. Before the barking of the dog could stop, another gong and drum sounded outside the door. Lin Ting'an rubbed his eyes sleepily and looked at the place next to him, but there was no one there.
At this time, Xiaofan knocked on the door a few times and came in, saying: "Master, I am worried that I will guard you."
"Where is your husband?"
"Still in the main room with the guests."
"What happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"
"I've already sent people out to inquire. I guess there will be news soon."
"Oh."
Lin Ting'an closed her eyes, covered her ears with her hands and leaned on the pillow, looking very sleepy.
Xiao Fan stepped forward and said, "Master, let me cover your ears for you. You can sleep peacefully. I'm here to guard you, and my uncle is guarding you outside."
She had a lot of sleep during this special period, so Lin Ting'an fell asleep again after hearing this.
When Yang Yuanzu heard the sound of gongs and drums, he was a little worried at first, fearing that the refugees would break through the village entrance defense line. He did not feel relieved until the nursing home came back to report the situation.
It turned out that a few refugees ran in from the back mountain and ate the chickens raised by the Zhu family. They were caught by Master Zhu who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.
According to several arrested refugees, there were other people sneaking into the village with them, and they didn't know how many.
After a noisy night, it finally calmed down in the second half of the night.
When Lin Ting'an woke up, Yang Yuanzu and Yi Shengwan were having breakfast. They had two bowls of vegetarian noodles with clear soup and water. There was no meat or vegetables in them, and there were only a few pieces of lard floating on the surface.
Yi Shengwan didn't think it was inappropriate. It was good to have a bowl of hot soup cakes when the drought came. He had eaten wheat rice before when he was on the road.
Daningchao soup cake means noodles, while wheat rice is steamed wheat without shelling.
Lin Ting'an went to Aunt Chen's place to have breakfast with the old lady.
After Yang Yuanzu finished eating the noodles and drank the last mouthful of soup, he heard Uncle Yang coming to the door. Uncle Yang was an old acquaintance of the Yang family and the nurse let the person in.
"Young man Yang, listen to what happened last night..." As soon as he walked into the main room, before he could finish his words, he saw Yi Shengwan and changed the topic, "Hey, there are guests here, so I'll chat with you later." After that, he said to It came out like a gust of wind.
After the meal, Yang Yuanzu took Yi Shengwan to Li Zheng's home to discuss the purchase of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
On the way, Yang Yuanzu said: "The land in Fengping Village is not vast, so the sweet potatoes are limited. It is definitely not enough to use them to relieve the victims. It would be feasible if they are used as seeds to wait for next year's harvest."
"As long as you have the guts."
At a time when the imperial court was in crisis, the villagers in Fengping Village did not dare to raise prices, let alone drive up prices. They just said that they would give it to others.
Yi Shengwan gave him the price of rice in the past, but now the price of rice on the market has increased several times. If you look carefully, the villagers still suffered a loss.
Where the price is set, whether to sell more or less depends on the wishes of the villagers. It is impossible for Yi Shengwan to raid the farmers' homes for these sweet potatoes.
Yang Yuanzu also had many workers and clerks under him. He did not sell all the grain, but kept some for himself as food for the workers.
Yi Shengwan stayed at Yang Yuanzu's house for the past two days while buying grain. In addition to potatoes and sweet potatoes, he also bought a lot of rice and wheat. After finishing all this, he was able to rest for a while.
He was not idle during the rest time, and curiously walked around the buildings and factories in the village.
"There are many tall buildings on the streets of Shunxing County. Master Yi has never seen them?" Yang Yuanzu accompanied Master Yi to inspect the village and asked when he saw them.
"I entered the county town at night. I was in such a hurry that I didn't take a closer look. Is this the commercial building you told me?"
"Commercial buildings are taller than buildings. If the material and technical problems are solved, it will be possible to build them even bigger."
"I didn't expect that a small county town could be comparable to Changjing. Most of the buildings in Changjing are built with pure wood, but the style of the buildings in Shunxing County is unique."
"The buildings in Changjing must be more exquisite and beautiful."
Although Master Yi felt in his heart that the style of the buildings in Changjing was more beautiful, he still said euphemistically: "Each has its own merits."
