I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 466 Completed
The hatchback got what they wanted, and they were very satisfied.

Knowing that the master behind Liu Hu had a lot of food, Niu Ben was even more polite to him.

Since Liu Hu agreed to the request of the magistrate of Qingshi County, he naturally sent people to Zhuangzi on the other side of Mingzhou Prefecture to transport more grain to Nanyue Prefecture.

However, the county magistrate Niu didn't say that rice and wheat must be given.

Therefore, Liu Hu's message, no matter what, as long as it is in Zhuangzi, send it first.

With such a message, the food sent over is naturally mostly sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, and there is also a lot of rice, but there is not a lot of wheat.

After all, in the south, most people eat a lot of rice, and although they don't have no pasta, they still eat less.

For the sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, wheat, and rice that Liu Hu sent, Niu Ben found that he only knew three of them, that is, the sweet potatoes promoted by the new Futai, as well as rice and wheat.

Niu Ben couldn't recognize the remaining potatoes and corn as food, so he was a little hesitant as to whether they should be counted as food.

Liu Hu was not unhappy that Niu Ben didn't know these two things.

The potatoes and corn were boiled directly, and then presented to the county magistrate Niu to taste first.

Niu Ben ate the potatoes first, and it was soft in the mouth. Except that it was tasteless and not very big, it was quite similar to that sweet potato.

But this corn gave him a sweet taste.

Unexpectedly, it was so delicious.

It was just such an ear of corn, and he, a big man, ate it into his stomach, and he felt full.

It's a pity that the land in my own county is not suitable for planting.

Otherwise, he would have to plant a few acres of everything, high and low, so that the common people in his county can eat enough.

Seeing the cartloads of stones being pulled away, and the cartloads of grain being pulled in, Niu Ben laughed from ear to ear.

If there is such an extra business every year, my county will not be afraid of starvation.

When Ning Pengpeng heard Liu Hu who came back report that Qingshi County could not produce grain, he couldn't help but touched his chin, and then asked very puzzled.

"Since they know that there is no food there, why don't they change places?"

Liu Hu listened and sighed.

"Speaking of it, it's just that the homeland is hard to leave!"

Hearing this, Ning Pengpeng sneered.

"It's hypocritical, people are going to starve to death, and it doesn't matter what their homeland is or isn't.

Since it was difficult to leave, why did so many ordinary people under the Nanyue Mansion run away again? "

Hearing what the old lady said, Liu Hu choked, as if it was true.

However, this is something that the magistrate of Qingshi County should worry about, it's not his turn to take care of it!
Liu Hu scratched the back of his head. Seeing Ning Pengpeng, he didn't say anything more. He just turned his head to look at the half-built tulou and nodded in satisfaction.

Because this side is close to the sea, Ning Pengpeng asked people to go directly to the top floor and put stone slabs on the top, so that when the weather is sunny and sunny, they can still bask in the sea on the roof.

If there is a storm, there is no need to worry. If a tile falls from the height of these four floors, if it hits someone, it will probably be disabled if it is not dead.

Because Ning Pengpeng was going to use the roof as a drying yard, she directly turned the fourth floor into a warehouse.

On the first floor, a pulley device was installed. As long as a few strong men pull the rope, the wooden plank tied to the pulley will rise up.

At that time, the seafood will be packed on the first floor, then put in the baskets, and then put on the wooden boards, and then they can be pulled upstairs, saving people from climbing to the top of the building with the baskets on their backs to dry them, which is tiring and troublesome.

The house on the first floor is for the servants and wives of the Ning Mansion, the second floor is the guest room, and the third floor is the room where the main family lives.

Each floor has a toilet, kitchen and utility room.

This is in the inner circle. Although the outer circle is also four stories high, it only has the first, second and third floors, and you can go up the stairs.

Apart from the ground floor, the house can be accessed directly from the street.

The entrances on the second and third floors are less than two meters away, and they are blocked by stones, so you don't have to worry about children accidentally falling from the upstairs.

Of course, in this way, the area of ​​the house will be much smaller.

It can be said that if the first floor is a three-bedroom apartment, the second floor is a two-bedroom apartment, and the third floor is a bachelor apartment.

Because the area of ​​the fourth floor is too small, the house was not built at all, but the city wall was built up to make a few meters wide aisle.

People on patrol can stroll around this aisle.

As long as there are two teams for each patrol, a total of four teams, you can clearly observe the situation outside the Tulou without any blind spots.

When Liu Hu watched the day when the Tulou was built, tears welled up in his eyes.

What a majestic house, I no longer have to worry about pirates coming ashore like that night!

Although this is a stone house, Ning Pengpeng still had someone burn charcoal to bake it inside the house to remove the moisture.

Then, Ning Pengpeng gathered all the fishermen in Yujiawan and asked them to allocate the size of the house according to the population of each family.

Everyone in Yujiawan was moved to tears after hearing such a thoughtful arrangement from the owner.

Those who were active, saw that there were still many empty houses, so they couldn't help but went to Liu Hu and asked if they could let the fishermen they knew come to live in this earthen building of Ning's family?
However, Liu Hu refused.

After all, although it seems that there are still many houses left, if the Ning family wants to buy a servant girl in the future, the servant girl will also get married and have a baby.

At that time, the place to live may not be enough.

If we wait until that time to drive out the fishermen living in the tulou, it will be contrary to the original intention of allocating houses for them to live for free.

And, something for nothing.

These fishermen may feel grateful now, but maybe after a while, they will feel that it is too easy to get, and then they will take it for granted.

Liu Hu felt that they had to feel that being able to live in the Ning family's earthen building was a blessing they had cultivated in eight lifetimes.

It has to be said that Liu Hu understands people's inferiority very well.

Ning Pengpeng also understands, so she agrees with Liu Hu's decision.

The Ningjia Tulou was built here, and all the fishermen whose houses were burned in Yujiawan lived in the Tulou.

The soldiers and horses from Mingzhou Mansion over there also arrived at Nanyue Mansion.

The leading general first went to pay a visit to Cui Qingyuan, Master Futai of Nanyue Prefecture.

Then he handed over the letter written by Mr. Xie Futai in his arms respectfully to Mr. Cui.

Cui Qingyuan opened the letter and read the contents in two or three clicks.

Xie Qiping's content was also very simple and clear, because the soldiers and horses he sent were not familiar with the terrain on the Nanyue Mansion side.

Therefore, Cui Qingyuan has full command of the [-] troops sent this time, and let the leading general, after arriving at the Nanyue Mansion, just listen to Master Cui's arrangements.

Seeing the content of Xie Qiping's letter, Cui Qingyuan was slightly relieved.
