The vision of the red building is farther

"It's been a while since you've been here, let's talk about it." Back in the back hall, Jia Zhen called over the stewards and guards who had been sent earlier. It would be nice to have a mouthful of hot water now.Jia Zhen didn't dislike it either, anyway, she just returned to the equipment of her previous life.The several stewards sent by Jia Zhen are all capable. Although they don't want to stay in the city for a long time because of the situation in Sheyang, they still try their best to find out a lot of news.Manager Han swore that he had never been so embarrassed in his life. He deliberately put on those tattered clothes that were not called clothes, smeared a layer of soot on his face, and wandered around in the city.

"Master, there are only about [-] servants in Sheyang County. Most of them are old people, children and women, and young people have very little strength. Besides, the servants here are no different from bandits and thieves. "Han Guanshi really doesn't want to see Sheyang, which can be said to be a barren and suffering place, but he still can't help sighing when talking about these things.He is the son of Ningguo Mansion, and his family background was not good in his early years, but compared to these people in front of him, he can be said to be very different. "By the way, master, this is a picture drawn by the slave in private, and it explains the places and situations that the slave has been to." Steward Han followed Jia Zhen for these years, so he naturally learned to read and draw a map. It's pretty decent.

Jia Zhen looked at the cup in her hand and sighed for a long time, and said, "Let's build this city wall first. I'll look at the four walls and build the wall next to the sea first, so that the prisoners in the prison and those on the side of the road will be pulled in." There is no need to pay the beggars to work, just to ensure that they have something to eat. Mr. Bai, you take a team of guards to the nearby towns to buy food first. The food I brought this time can last for five or six days. The daily supply for these people is nothing more than porridge and steamed buns, but I can hold on. I will write to the magistrate above to ask them to allocate some food." Jia Zhen is a little thankful for the emperor's generosity. Thanks to the princess, two boxes of gold, silver and money were rewarded, and two carts of food were rewarded.

"These lands can't be left unused. It's about to be plowed in the spring. They can't be left unused. Even if I take supplements from my family, I can't fill up so many people. But anyone who works can have a mouthful of porridge or a steamed bun to satisfy their hunger. My child, as long as you have some strength, you can come to work, but to be clear, it is only for one meal. If there is looting and robbery, just kill it at the beginning." Jia Zhen squinted her eyes, and his orders were equivalent to giving up those who had already For old people who have no ability to work, whether they can survive depends on the destiny, but there is no way to do it. He has neither cheats nor all kinds of magical abilities, and it is even more impossible for the people to return to their hearts and obey him. , being able to do this is already the limit, and this is also the cruelty of the world.

Jia Zhen looked at the map of the county government office, circled two fields, and said to everyone: "Let's cultivate these two fields first. 120 guards, 30 people guard the government office and the backyard, [-] supervisors on the city wall, three Ten of them will supervise the cultivation, Manager Han, you take six away, buy the grain, hire some people to transport the grain, and the rest will work in shifts." Jia Zhen assigns the general tasks, it is really a waste of time, still waiting Want to count the population of Sheyang County today!Jia Zhen knew in her heart that the situation in Sheyang was really no wonder to those predecessors. Sheyang was bloodbathed by Qianxiang Kingdom ten years ago, and then there was a natural disaster and riots, and bandits ran rampant.But anyone who is able to study in the middle school, the family is not only rich, but also a wealthy family, how have you seen the scene in Sheyang, and when you come to Sheyang, you are afraid that you will not be able to save your life, so how can you talk about other things? Woolen cloth.As a result, Sheyang's situation has become worse and worse, to the point where it is now.

"Wait, come back, remember to tell all the strong men who have land at home, don't let them miss the spring plowing, tell them that as long as they can guarantee to plant the land well, they will be exempted from tax for three years. Also, Manager Han, remember to buy grain seeds, I don't think there are many seeds here." Jia Zhen called people in again and gave orders.As for the tax exemption, the Holy Majesty has long exempted Sheyang's tax, but there are many bureaucrats, so the people here in Sheyang don't know that they have been exempted from taxes, and they are harassed and persecuted by those guards every year. Not to mention tax collection, it would be great to have a little food to eat. Jia Zhen simply asked people to say that if there is hope, the people will have the motivation to work hard to live.

After spending most of the day, the Chu family has tidied up the house. "Grandma, let's bring some flower seeds, why don't we just plant them in the courtyard." Jinxiu knows that all the things her master uses in daily life are exquisite and elegant, but here in Sheyang, let alone decorations, it's just flowers, melons and fruits I couldn't find it, but fortunately she brought a few packets of flower seeds, so it would be good to plant them in this bare courtyard. "That's a good idea." Mrs. Chu nodded and said with a smile.Once it comes, it will be safe, but it is just a little less delicate stuff. "By the way, you ask someone to pack those boxes of books and put them on the shelf. I gathered the books of the uncle separately, and you put them in a conspicuous and easy-to-reach position. I think the uncle may still be useful." Chu Shi looked at the bare bookshelves and hurriedly ordered. "Okay, grandma, I'll go right away." Xiulan hurried to do this.

Seeing Sheyang like this, Jia Zhen and his wife felt uncomfortable, and they both lamented in their hearts that it was a good thing they didn't bring their children, otherwise they would suffer hardships and suffer with them.The Chu family is also a woman who has read a lot of poetry and books. Instead, she cheered up and comforted Jia Zhen. She was very supportive of Jia Zhen's actions. The money needs to be spent on the edge of the knife. They just ate less vegetables and less meat. , How can it be compared to those starving people waiting for help? "If you have a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for?" Jia Zhen really sighed this time from the bottom of her heart, holding Chu's hand, how many men in the world can admire her tenacity.

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Zhen put on casual clothes and left with a few guards. He might as well ask the guards to bring some food. He understood that money in Sheyang was useless long ago, so he brought food instead. , it is more convenient to do things at a critical moment.Although Jia Zhen had no choice but to give up those old people who were no longer able to do rough and heavy work, but Chu's words also reminded her that there are thousands of jobs in this world, maybe there are some jobs that these old people can exchange for something to eat?Chu's words made Jia Zhen uncomfortable for a long time, and she felt a little relieved. He couldn't figure it out. After all, his family and life were quite good in his previous life and this life. Old people can do it too.

Bricks and cement are needed to repair the city wall. These white stewards have already bought some of them before. If it is not possible, the bricks and tiles of the empty house can also be used.Jia Zhen watched those people moving bricks, and suddenly had an idea. He really wanted to thank all kinds of military training in his previous life, learning agriculture. Although most of them were flower shelves, he had also seen some farm tools. Basket ropes not only save labor for these people, but also those old people and children who have little strength can do some work and get some food.Jia Zhen was ecstatic in her heart, he finally found some solutions.However, Jia Zhen also noticed that many strong men and middle-aged and elderly people joined in because they were able to take care of the food. Some people even had no strength, so they knelt down and begged the guards to give them a chance to do some work. , Change some rations.Because today is the first day of work, the rations are divided into two batches, so that they can fill their stomachs first before working. Many workers secretly hide some of the food distributed to them. Presumably there are people waiting at home. let's eat.Jia Zhen only felt a little sad for no reason, and her eyes were also very sour.

However, if rubbing grass ropes and the like could be exchanged for food, he had to find a way to find something to eat and drink for these people to eat.Jia Zhen sighed, and didn't think of a way to solve this problem, so he rashly announced this idea. Once the food is not purchased by then, and if the food here is used up again, it will inevitably cause riots, I'm afraid their little ones My life will be explained here.Rather than giving hope to these people and finally shattering their hopes, it is better not to give them hope in the first place.Jia Zhen sighed, but fortunately, the group of guards under him were loyal and obedient, and they didn't take their orders seriously because of soft-heartedness, and opened the gate. "Master, is there really nothing I can do? I heard from the old man that in times of famine, even grass roots and bark can satisfy one's hunger?" Bai Mo couldn't help but ask Jia Zhen.

"Of course I've also heard that when people are so hungry that they have nothing to eat, they will eat dirt. Even if they know that they will have a few days to live after eating this dirt, they will still eat it." Jia Zhen closed her eyes tightly, and after a long time Let go, ruthless, if he wants to help these people, he can no longer waste time here, "Let's go."

Because it was the city wall near the sea, Jia Zhen simply led the guards out of the city gate, wanting to relax.Along the coastline, Jia Zhen walked slowly. "Master, look, is there someone there?" Bai Yan's eyes were extremely sharp, and he pointed at what looked like several heads in the shallow sea in the distance, and shouted. "Come on, let's go and have a look." Jia Zhen didn't care about anything else, so she walked in that direction quickly, and he also felt that it should be a person.

They were indeed human beings, they looked like older children, and there were a few children on the shore, they were extremely frightened when they saw them coming, and they were about to shout in a hurry, and some of them ran away as fast as they could.Probably because I have been hungry for a few days, and I am a child, so I can't run fast at all.The children in the water also tried their best to swim to the shore. Although many people in Sheyang could still understand the official language, the county town had been abandoned for many years, and many children could not understand the official language at all. The guide in Yanghua, this is what Steward Han found from a nearby county. "My lord wants to ask why you are here and what are you doing?" The guide took some food from the guards and gave it to the children. These children were very timid at first, even those who had just emerged from the water The naked children didn't speak, but looked at them warily.Jia Zhen also patiently waited for the group of children to speak.
