Chapter 294 Xu Xiang Fengyun ([-])

A small village in Huang County

"Mom, drink the soup."

"Why does this soup taste weird?"

"Probably because there is no salt."

"Well, where's Kaner?"

"he……"

"Grandma, Daddy cooked brother broth!"

Snapped!
boom!
"what?"

"Is this soup?"

"You bastard, how can you cook your own son into soup?"

"Mother, the family has run out of food for a long time now. The son can be born again if he loses it. If you lose it, you will regret it!"

"Daddy, don't we have dozens of acres of land? I heard that the neighbors are going to the city to exchange their fields for rice, and we will also exchange the fields for rice, so no one will starve to death."

"Shut up! Without the fields, our family will starve to death next year!"

"We can't even get through this year, so there's no need to think about next year."

"Take the land deed to exchange for rice, let's get through this year first, alas..."

"Hey, Old Wu, let's go, let's go to the city together to exchange rice, and find Wang Dashan in the city to exchange some rice, so that the whole family will not starve to death."

"It's better to find the Wang family than the Taishi family. The Wang family only has one fish per mu of land, and the Taishi family can exchange one mu of land for one stone of rice."

One after another tragedies are being staged in Huang County. In order to survive, the local people have to sell their sons and daughters to sell fertile land.

The Wang family and the Taishi family began to crazily compete for acres of land, and some local landlords also took the opportunity to use their family's surplus grain to annex land, and the entire Huang County was in chaos.

Huangxian County Office
boom!
"The Taishi family can't be allowed to continue to be so arrogant. Many disaster victims are looking for the Taishi family [fields for rice], and they refuse to come to our Wang family [fields for fish]. We must deal a heavy blow to the Taishi family!" County Wei Wang Kuan He said eagerly: "If you don't do anything, those fields will all belong to the Taishi family. We spent 1000 million hard to get into Huang County, but we couldn't even annex a piece of land. Isn't the 1000 million of our Wang family wasted?" ?”

"Has the fish we got from Niulangdao not arrived yet?"

"The latest news is that a total of [-] ships [cargo丨C丨[-]] were fully loaded and set off ten days ago. According to the speed of the ship, they should still be near Busan now."

According to the purpose of the ship, the Wang family divides the ship into warship and cargo ship. According to the structure type of the ship, there are other types such as A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, etc., and there are [-] to [-] different grades according to the pickled fish carrying capacity.

[Cargo丨C丨Three Thousands] is a Type C cargo ship that can carry three thousand stones of pickled fish.

"That's 60 stone salted fish, which should be barely enough." Wang Yi calculated.

The fish in Cowherd Island are too far away. In order to meet the emergency, the pickled fish of the Wang family in Huang County are some stocks that were previously stored in Taohuagang.

"It will take about half a month before our salted fish arrives. During this time, the disaster fields in Huang County may have been annexed by other families, and there is no share for my Wang family." Wang Xiao worried.

"I really don't understand, how can a small Taishi family get so much food to compete with our Wang family for land annexation?" Wang Kuan was annoyed.

"Masters, the slaves have the latest information!"

At this time, the voice of the royal servant from before sounded outside.

"Come in." Wang Yi said.

After a while, the servants of the Wang family entered the house and reported to the three Wang family children: "We found that these days, there have been caravans secretly transporting grain to the territory of the Taishi family."

"Huh?" Wang Yi was surprised.

"It seems to be from Xuzhou." The servant of the Wang family continued to reply.

"Xuzhou?" Wang Yi thought: "The Taishi family still has allies in Xuzhou?"

"Brother, don't care about his allies. This is under the jurisdiction of Liaodong County. The prefect's mansion has ordered that no food from other places should enter Huang County. Since they dare to disobey the order of the prefect's mansion, we will directly seize their food!" Kuan persuaded from the side.

"His hand in Xuzhou is quite long, and he dared to extend his claws of land annexation to Liaodong. I don't know which family has such guts?" Wang Xiao sneered.

"We don't have enough manpower to really seal off the entire Huang County, so that's why the Taishi family has a loophole to take advantage of." Wang Yi was silent for a moment, and then said earnestly: "Drag, as long as we drag it to our 60 stone pickled fish Come on, and all problems will be solved.”

"Issued an announcement in the name of the county office, telling the people not to rush [exchanging fields for rice]. The imperial court has hired rice merchants to set up porridge sheds to help them. They can come to the city every day to receive free rations, and they don't have to sell them. A woman selling fields."

Wang Yi thought of a strategy against the Taishi family.

"Brother, we don't have enough food for land acquisition. How can we use it to build a porridge shed?" Wang Kuan asked.

"Hehe, don't worry." Wang Yi said with a smile: "We can't compete directly with the Taishi family for our current grain inventory, and we can't win a price war."

"So, let's not fight at all, and use the last little grain to build a porridge shed, and barely feed the people of the county for half a month. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"The people can go to the porridge shed to fill their stomachs for free, and they will have the hope of living. If they have the hope of living, they will be reluctant to sell their fields. As long as they are reluctant to sell their fields to the Taishi family, we will still have the opportunity to annex their fields. .”

"After half a month, our 60 stone salted fish will arrive. By then, we will cancel the porridge shed, so that the people will have to sell their fields in the famine."

"At that time, even if the Taishi family wants to fight a price war with our Wang family, it will be nothing but humiliation."

After Wang Yi's analysis, everyone was convinced. The most urgent task now is one word: procrastination!
The [-] transport ships towed to Wang's house transported the salted fish to Huang County.

"However, we still need to continue to investigate who is so brave and dares to secretly transport food to the Taishi family."

"Xuzhou is also a coastal area, so it's reasonable for a few gangs of pirates to go ashore and kill people, ha ha!"

After a long time, Lao Wu and others finally came to the county seat.

He was just about to ask where to find the Taishi family [Exchanging fields for rice], but found that there were many people queuing not far away.

"What's going on?" Lao Wu asked a passerby.

"You don't know yet, starting today, the Wang family, a great benefactor from Liaodong, has set up dozens of porridge sheds because they can't bear to starve us. As long as you take the initiative to report your household registration information, you can get free Rations."

"Old Wu, look quickly, the government's notice."

Old Wu came to the notice board of the government in half-belief, and a small government official who could read was explaining the words on it to the affected people in front of the notice board, because most of the people could not read.

"The government announced that the prefect's office and the county office felt that the people of Huang County were suffering from famine. The prefect and the county magistrate couldn't bear the heart of the people to starve to death, so they specially persuaded the Wang family of rice merchants in Liaodong to come to set up porridge sheds to help Huang County. All the people affected by the disaster should not rush to sell their land to save their lives, they only need to report their household registration information, and they can go to the corresponding porridge shed to receive free rations."

After the words of the secretary of the county office, the people including Lao Wu burst into smiles, and they no longer had the frowning faces of the past.

"The Fujun and the county officials are really saints reincarnated, and the Wang family of Liaodong is really the most benevolent person in the world. It is a blessing for us common people that the big man can have them."

Old Wu wiped his tears, he was very touched, he could survive the disaster year without selling the land, which he never dared to imagine.
