Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

After the two discussed it, they found that there were a lot of things that needed to be prepared. Gu Huanxi was the most impatient to worry about and frowned as he listened.

Xu Huaiyi took a pencil and wrote and drew on the paper. He listed more than a dozen items before he stopped and showed it to her, "Daughter-in-law, you don't need to worry too much. Just follow the arrangements I wrote." , it’s all right, the family is not short of money now, Wei Liang is there to run errands, and Wei Ci is there to do the work, just open your mouth.”

Gu Huanxi nodded helplessly.

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "How about I stop going to school? Stay at home and take care of this whole thing, and let you be the boss?"

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him, "You just give up on not going to school."

If she really kept Xu Huaiyi at home, the villagers would not be able to spare her. In their eyes, Xu Huaiyi was the most promising person to become an official. Anyone who dared to block his future would be the enemy of the whole village.

Xu Huaiyi pestered her for a few more words, and then she drove her to find Village Chief Xu.

The villagers should also be prepared.

After he left, Gu Huanxi realized that there was not much money left in the RV. So where did Xu Huaiyi get the money to buy so much food and things?

Are you selling glass secretly again?

There was a lot of glass on the bookshelf, but the kale she planted was missing a pot of purple. The reason why she was deeply impressed was because the flower was not very big, but the color was good, it was a very true purple. The rich purple is very noble, even more so than peony.

Is this for sale?

If Xu Huaiyi was here right now, Gu Huanxi would have to deal with him. It wasn't like she didn't agree to the sale, so why did she secretly kill him first and then tell him the story later?

At this moment, Xu Huaiyi, who had just entered the house of Village Chief Xu and sat down, couldn't help but have an itchy nose and sneezed a few times. He thought to himself, who is whispering about him behind his back?

Seeing this, Xu Maoyuan asked with concern, "What's wrong? Huaiyi, don't you catch a cold?"

As he said that, he touched the clothes he was wearing, "What's the matter with your hair? It's not very thick to the touch. Mommy, A Li, why don't you put more in there?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm fine. This jacket is stuffed with silk cotton. It's quite stuffed, and it's enough to keep warm. Besides, people who practice martial arts have strong firepower and can't feel the cold. If you don't believe me, just touch the palm of my hand and it will still keep you warm." I’m sweaty.”

Xu Maoyuan really touched it, and he was sweating. It was indeed not cold, so he felt relieved and said, "It's good that you don't catch a cold, otherwise you will delay school."

"Well, don't worry. With my body type, it's not easy for me to get sick. But for the elderly and children in the village, I'm afraid it will be very difficult when it snows in a few days." Xu Huaiyi brought the topic here, and his expression became a little bit... Dignified, "You two may have guessed that the weather this year is abnormal. It gets colder earlier than usual. In addition, there are droughts in spring and summer. In winter, there is likely to be a snowstorm, so we must prepare early."

Village Chief Xu nodded and sighed heavily, "You need to make more preparations. I would rather not use it than to catch you blind when the trouble comes. Now every household has learned how to make a fire kang from you. It's really going to happen." It’s snowing so hard that I can’t go out, so I can’t freeze even if I hide on the kang. I just need to prepare more firewood...”

Xu Maoyuan frowned and said, "Firewood is easy to talk about. As long as we work hard, there will never be a shortage of firewood at home, but we can't have the whole family relying on the kang, right? There is still a lot of work outside, and we have to set up stalls. There are also people who work in tofu factories, and the clothes they wear..."

He paused for a moment, then turned to ask Xu Huaiyi, "Is silk cotton really resistant to wind and warm? Is it better than leather?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "The wind resistance is not as good as leather, but it is not much warmer. Moreover, it is light and comfortable to wear, but leather is not breathable and will make you feel uncomfortable if you cover it too much."

"How did you sell it?"

Xu Huaiyi opened his mouth and said a number.

Xu Maoyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There aren't many people in the village wearing silk coats anymore."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Although it is expensive, it is very necessary. Besides, you can earn some money by running a stall in the village. Why would you hesitate to buy some silk floss? At the very least, make sure that the elderly and children can carry it, otherwise you will be charged with fleeing for famine." We've all suffered. It makes no sense that something unexpected happened when we were about to enjoy our happiness. It would be so frustrating.

Xu Maoyuan thought for a while, "You are right. Please go back and persuade them."

"You have to spend your money when it's time to spend it. Otherwise, why would we work so hard to make money outside? Isn't it just so that the elderly and children at home can live a more comfortable life?"

Village Chief Xu took over, "Yes, money is spent on a knife's edge. There is nothing to worry about. Apart from cutting more firewood and buying some silk woolen coats, the house also needs to be rested and renovated, so as not to be collapsed by the heavy snow."

"The most important thing is food. We must save more. As long as we can keep food, we can buy it at home. It will never be wasted."

Hearing this, Village Chief Xu immediately panicked, "Huaiyi, why did you save food again?"

Xu Huaiyi said in a serious voice, "I went to the city today and found that there were more and more victims at the city gate. The yamen arranged for them to settle down, but not many people left. They even built shacks near the city gate. At first glance, it was like If you want to stay there for a long time and hope to survive every day by grabbing the porridge provided by wealthy families, it will definitely not be a problem if this continues. The porridge distribution may stop who knows which day, and there will be snowstorms. By then, how many people will die ?”

Village Chief Xu's expression changed, "Death is still a small matter, but I'm afraid it will trigger epidemics and civil unrest. When the time comes, no one will be able to escape..."

"So, we have to make more preparations. Now the inspections in the city are becoming more and more strict. There is still no shortage of food in the shops, but the prices have increased a bit. Other cloth, silk floss, and leather are all more expensive than usual. Take advantage of this There’s no purchase limit yet, and the price hasn’t gone up too much. Just buy as much as you can, and it’s best to be able to eat until spring tomorrow.”

"Yes, yes, we should stock up on more to be prepared."

Xu Maoyuan said worriedly, "We have only had a peaceful life for a few days, why don't we stop?"

Xu Huaiyi thought to himself that the court was not doing anything, but he knew that it was unreasonable for the ancients to fear the imperial power, so he did not complain and said lightly, "It's still a problem of the disaster. The victims can't be properly resettled in the local area, so they have to flee." In the capital, if there are few people coming, the yamen can handle it, but if there are too many people coming, they won’t be able to handle it.”

Then, they blame each other and no one is willing to take responsibility.

Xu Maoyuan sighed, "What a sin."

Village Chief Xu said, "Huaiyi, in addition to what I just said and stocking up on food, what else do we need to prepare?"

"Medicine, you have to talk to Dr. Jiao about this."

"Well, I'll go find him later, what else?"

"We also have to be careful of the victims who get into chaos and rush to the surrounding villages. They are hungry and anxious, but they are no better than bandits."

Village Chief Xu took a breath of cold air and his voice trembled, "Will something like this still happen in the capital? Who dares to cause trouble under the emperor's feet? The Yamen officials must take care of it, right? I heard that there is such a thing, five There are thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, aren’t they dedicated to taking care of these things?”

Xu Huaiyi explained, "The troops and horses of the five cities are all active in the city. If epidemics or civil unrest were to occur, the city gates would have been closed long ago. Besides, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else."
