Parents are busy farming

Seeing that both of them were silent, Liu Dianshi was secretly anxious and hurriedly searched for topics to break the awkward atmosphere.

While he was thinking hard, he suddenly remembered what the little girl said just now, and his eyes lit up.

He quickly asked: "Uh... well, girl, what do you mean by 'teaching me how to fish' you just mentioned?"

When Zi Zifen saw Liu Dianshi taking the initiative to talk to him, she stopped being petty and put aside her dissatisfaction for the time being.

After all, no one can blame anyone for this. The current situation is like this, so we can only take one step at a time.

She calmed down and replied slowly: "In my opinion, after we finish recruiting troops, we will definitely have insufficient labor. Now that these refugees are coming, it is better to let them stay, reclaim wasteland and plant crops. As for For food, we can arrange for them to dredge the river and build dams. Our county will provide food. In this way, perhaps by the time you come here to take office next year, the water storage reservoir will be fully completed, which is the best of both worlds!"

In fact, Magistrate Su had not never considered this method.

However, if this was to be put into practice, a portion of the rations from the official treasury would need to be allocated to those refugees.

To be honest, they have no right to do that.

If this matter reaches the ears of the imperial court, it will be a serious crime that will implicate the nine clans! Because of this, even though he knew this method was feasible, he never dared to try it easily.

How could Ye Zifen not see through what he was thinking, so he said softly: "Okay, I know in my heart, I can sell some of the grain to you to promote the development of this matter. But after all, the amount of grain I have on hand It’s limited, so you still have to find other ways.”

Immediately afterwards, she further explained: "It is still unclear what the situation is on the south side now. We have to wait until the river thaws and the ships can go south smoothly, then we will know whether we can successfully transport food back. If it cannot be realized in the end, then I It’s also a desperate situation.”

Hearing this, Magistrate Su had a bitter smile on his face, thinking to himself that sometimes he was indeed like a despicable person, as if he had been waiting for this little girl to take the initiative to mention this matter.

However, he also knew very well that this little girl would definitely provide them with timely assistance like a shower of sweet rain.

So he responded: "Don't worry, I will work with you to find a solution to the problem."

However, Ye Zifen rolled his eyes with a huge eye, obviously not believing what the other party said.

In her opinion, this is just an empty word used to deal with others.

I saw her muttering angrily: "Huh, I heard my grandma say this, it's called 'a man's mouth is a liar'."

For a moment, Magistrate Su was speechless...

Liu Dianshi, who was standing aside, couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this, but he was afraid of offending the girl, so he had to suppress his laughter.

This little girl is so arrogant in her videos! Dare to say anything.

Magistrate Su cleared his throat and said calmly: "If other areas can start digging ditches now and work persistently for a year, the crisis facing the court will definitely be alleviated. Therefore, we must have a firm and unswerving attitude." Only by moving your faith can things become possible.”

Hearing this, Ye Zifen felt that this was just a piece of paper talk. The figure of the people he led could not help but appear in his mind, so he rashly interjected: "However, I also have some requirements."

When Magistrate Su heard this, he immediately stared at her and asked, "What are your conditions?"

Ye Zifen felt a little guilty and responded softly: "I passed by a village and the condition was terrible, so I brought all the strong men from the village over and wanted them to help dig the reservoir. After the New Year, I can go back with the caravan. I hope you can arrange this properly."

After saying this, there was a trace of pride on Zi Zifen's face, as if to say: "Look! I always care about the people of this county."

Only then did Magistrate Su understand why Ye Zifen was so reasonable.

It turns out that there are no more than a thousand refugees here, but Ye Zifen actually brought back the whole village's strong labor force, which was really unexpected.

At this time, Liu Dianshi finally understood why Ye Zifen agreed to sell part of the grain so readily. It turned out that all of this was part of her plan!

However, no matter what, Ye Zifen was able to take the initiative to contribute part of the food to alleviate the current predicament, so Liu Dianshi could not say anything more.

He said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect you to bring so many refugees yourself! Tell me, why did you bring them here? How did you meet each other?"

Facing Liu Dianshi's inquiry, Ye Zifen knew that he must be honest at this moment.

So she smiled slightly and answered truthfully: "Actually, these people originally tried to intercept my caravan, but I easily subdued them. After all, they are also ordinary people themselves, and I can't bear to see them going astray and going astray. So. I’m thinking of finding a way out for them to prevent them from falling deeper into trouble, so I just do one good deed every day!”

As she spoke, Ye Zifen's tone was as calm as water, without seeming to be filled with too much emotion.

However, when Magistrate Su on the side heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.

Because what Ye Zifen did was exactly the same as his attitude towards those refugees.

They all have a kind heart and are considerate of those who cannot help themselves.

In their eyes, these refugees are just doing this out of necessity to survive.

But while I was relieved, I couldn't help but feel a little worried in my heart, so I asked, "Have you ever been injured?"

I saw Ye Zifen shaking her head very sincerely.

In fact, when people are close at hand, it is obvious whether they are injured or not, so there is really no need to worry too much.

Immediately afterwards, Magistrate Su seemed to suddenly remember something important and asked seriously: "There is one more thing that you need to answer to me truthfully and seriously."

Seeing that his eyes were becoming more focused, even more so than before, Ye Zifen finally couldn't restrain her inner curiosity and blurted out: "What's so important?"

Magistrate Su County nodded firmly and said, "Have you found a way to increase wheat production and harvest?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Dianshi on the side heard this and immediately turned his attention to Ye Zifen.

At this moment, Ye Zifen frowned slightly and secretly wondered where Magistrate Su got the news.

In fact, she had no intention of concealing this matter, but considering that if more seeds could be saved next year, it would not be too late to inform Magistrate Su by then.
