The favorite of the royal group: the money-loving little ancestor soared to the top by selling talis

Chapter 74 Chapter 073: You will definitely live a good life (Thanks to "Like You Like You" for the list

On this day, Shen Zhiqing came to the farthest village in Dahe County, which was also the poorest village in Dahe County.

This village is called Hujiacun. It is located on the top of a mountain and it took three hours to reach it.

The seven carriages he brought were loaded with five thousand kilograms of grain, eighty bolts of cotton cloth, and one hundred quilts.

The village chief and the old patriarch received him and were very enthusiastic about him knowing that he was doing good deeds.

"Master Shen is kind and kind, and we will always remember your great kindness." Li Zheng, who was in his early fifties, kowtowed to Shen Zhiqing with a hunched back.

The old patriarch was in his sixties, leaning on a cane and crying. "Thank you, Master Shen. Thank you very much."

"No matter what, Li Zheng is upright and loyal. I believe you can lead the whole village to live a good life of food, clothing and happiness." Shen Zhiqing supported Li Zheng.

"Mr. Shen, if I had this ability, the village would not be so dilapidated. The fields in the village are relatively poor, and the few dozen acres of fertile land are in the hands of outsiders.

In addition to the royal rations paid to the court and the rent from outsiders, we only have a little food left. Whether the whole family will starve to death is because God has mercy on us. "

Li Zheng was so thin that there was no flesh on his face and his eyes were bulging.

"Yes, which one of our Hu clan members is not industrious? Which one is not working hard? But what can be changed?" The old patriarch wiped his tears and his voice choked up.

"I'm here today to discuss something with you. It will be December soon. You are veteran farmers, so you should also feel that the weather is getting weirder."

Shen Zhiqing put away his emotions and tried to pretend to be calm and indifferent.

Hu Lizheng and the old patriarch nodded.

"A master told me that in the south, surrounding Dahe County and radiating to more than a dozen counties and three prefectures, in December there will be a natural disaster in which dripping water turns to ice and heavy snow seals the mountains."

Shen Zhiqing looked serious, and his sister's voice revealed that Dahe County in the south was the most severely affected place, especially in a village where the whole family was named Hu, where three to four hundred people froze to death.

"what?"

"Is this serious?"

Hu Lizheng and the old patriarch were shocked and frightened.

"Heaven is going to destroy my Hu family."

"What can we do? Most of our villages are poor households, and many families cannot afford a winter coat for the whole family. If the mountains are blocked by heavy snow for a month, wouldn't the whole village freeze to death?"

The old patriarch remembered that sixty years ago, when he was only a few years old, he encountered the coldest year and more than half of the villagers died.

"Don't worry, I'm here just to deliver supplies to your village. I don't ask for anything in return. I just hope that everyone can thank my sister and bless her. These are the supplies she donated. Without her, I wouldn't be here."

Shen Zhiqing didn't hide anything.

Hu Lizheng and the old patriarch were stunned for a moment, and when they came to their senses, they quickly thanked Miss Shen.

Then they took Shen Zhiqing to visit the 20 poorest households in the village. The houses were made of yellow mud bricks and had thatched roofs. When they went inside, they discovered that the walls were leaking air everywhere.

A family of five or six people couldn't even afford a single winter coat. They still wore thin summer shirts and sewed them, and the patches were thicker than the thin shirts.

The only quilt in the family was so dark that its shape could not be discerned, and it was so hard that those who didn't know it thought it was a stone from a stinking ditch.

Hu Lizheng and the old patriarch concealed Shen Zhiqing's identity and purpose, and waited until the situation was investigated before telling the whole village.

After checking all afternoon, Shen Zhiqing went to Hu Lizheng's house for dinner and stayed one night before leaving.

After calculating the population of the village and the supplies needed, he turned off the lights and went to bed.

That night, he was woken up by the cold several times, and it was useless to cover him with both quilts.

Although Hu Lizheng's house has tiles, the house built with yellow mud bricks has air leakage from all directions.

Early in the morning, Hu Lizheng went to notify all the villagers to gather at the ancestral hall to announce something important.

Knowing that it was a good thing, the whole village was very fast and no one was left behind.

Hu Lizheng first told the whole village about the snow disaster, scaring everyone half to death. "Oh, the snow is coming again? What should we do? We all have to die, right?"

"I don't want to live anymore. God doesn't want us to survive. There was only one snow disaster fifty years ago, and it's coming again this year. How can our family survive?"

"Oh my God! How can our family survive in this situation? Li Zheng, if I don't have a son, how can I support three grandchildren by myself?"

"Everyone, calm down, there is always a path. This is Mr. Shen..." Hu Lizhengcai told the tribesmen Shen Zhiqing's identity and the purpose of donating materials.

The villagers were relieved and stood in line to listen to the old patriarch's stories and principles of repaying kindness.

Shen Zhiqing wanted to do things quickly, so he asked Hu Lizheng to tell the villagers to repair the house and try to get it done within five days.

There are also issues such as firewood. All young and middle-aged people go into the mountains to cut down trees, and they can cut down as many trees as they can.

If your family still has some money left, try to go to the town to buy food, or go to his grain and oil store to buy it. A pound of rice only costs Hujiacun three cents.

The normal price at other grain and oil stores is seven cents per pound of rice.

The villagers hesitated for a moment, but then they all agreed to do three things.

Shen Zhiqing began to distribute supplies. If the five thousand kilograms of grain were distributed based on population, there would be a total of 316 people, with an average of about fifteen kilograms per person.

However, 20 households are in relatively good conditions, while the remaining 30 households are poor among the poor.

So the supplies were given to 30 poor families. The 30 households had a total of 175 people. They used 3,500 kilograms of rice to divide it, and each person could get 20 kilograms.

The remaining 1,500 kilograms of rice were distributed to 141 people in 20 households, with an average of ten kilograms per person.

Twenty pounds of rice can feed a person for about twenty days. Although it is not a lot, it is better than nothing.

No one on either side objected.

Shen Zhiqing also distributed eighty pieces of cotton cloth and one hundred quilts according to this ratio. Thirty households with one hundred and seventy-five people needed fifty pieces of cotton cloth.

The remaining thirty pieces of cotton cloth were distributed to twenty families.

One hundred quilts are divided into 70 quilts for 30 households, and the remaining 30 quilts are given to 20 households.

Everyone received supplies according to actual needs, and no more was taken, and there was no cheating or robbery.

The scene was very orderly, and there were even situations where you let me and I let you.

When Shen Zhiqing saw this scene, he felt very happy, proving that he had not helped Hujiacun in vain.

I think there is a reason why this village can exist for two to three hundred years.

"Thank you Miss Shen, thank you Mr. Shen, you are living Bodhisattvas, great people.

God bless Miss Shen to be healthy, grow up safely, and be prosperous for the rest of her life. "

"Thank you very much, Miss Shen, Mr. Shen. If we are still alive next year, we will definitely repay your kindness."

"My benefactor, I am extremely grateful and cannot repay you. Please accept our bows."

After each villager received the supplies, they did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they bowed to Shen Zhiqing before leaving, and many even knelt and kowtowed.

Shen Zhiqing helped everyone up one by one. How could he watch the elders kowtow to him.

“Everyone went back and put on their winter coats, and the men went to cut firewood, buy tiles to repair the roof, and put more mud on the walls to block the air leakage.

After surviving this year, everyone will definitely be able to live a good life next year. "

"Yes--"

The villagers are full of enthusiasm, full of confidence and hope.
