Chapter 583 Congee Shop ([-])

"Is there only a porridge shop every morning?" Yong En frowned. If the 50 taels of silver is just to set up a porridge shop, then this Qin Junping is too perfunctory!

"Grandpa, you don't know, that's a porridge shop! The porridge is boiled with dressing. This year's drought, it's better to have food at home. Those poor families will run away as soon as they can. Yes, we can only wait here to die!" The boy said with some melancholy.

Yong En looked at the boy, who looked about seventeen or eighteen, and asked immediately. "Then why don't you go?"

The boy smiled wryly. "Master, I want to leave too, but I still have my mother at home, and I have no other skills, and I have no relatives to rely on at home. If you say that if I take my mother away, I will probably die as a foreigner. It's better to go home every day." Here, the shopkeeper can still give out two black-faced steamed buns, and then go to the porridge shop to get some porridge with dressing. At least my mother and I will not die of hunger. As long as we can survive this winter, next year will be spring. I hope God will take pity on us people , when there is a good year, the little ones will be content!"

Yong En nodded and continued to ask. "This Shangrao can be regarded as a rich land. Even if there is no harvest in this year's severe drought, the common people will not have no food in their hands. But I have walked along the way, and many villages are empty. Is there something strange?"

This little guy is not stupid, ever since Yongen opened his mouth, he has been asking about the disaster situation, coupled with Yongen's situation, he immediately realized Yongen's purpose. "Master, are you sent by the higher authorities to investigate this matter?"

Yong En frowned, this matter? "What's up?"

The boy rolled his eyes a few times, as if he was considering whether to say or not.

Zhang Kuo at the side saw the boy's concerns and said immediately. "This is Doro Belle from the capital city. This time Lord Belle was entrusted to come to Shangrao to check the disaster situation. If you have anything to do, just tell Lord Belle. There is no one in Jiangxi Mansion who cannot be handled by Lord Belle!"

Hearing Zhang Kuo's words, the boy immediately knelt down. "The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, and the little one kowtowed to Lord Baylor!" As he said that, he really knocked on the ground with a "bang bang".

"Get up! Tell me if you have anything, I don't say that I will make decisions for you, I just say, I will let you spend this winter safely!" Yongen held his right hand, and Zhang Kuo immediately gave the boy to him. Helped up.

After getting up, the boy's forehead was already flushed, it seemed that those few blows just now were real. "Master, don't you know that in summer, it hasn't rained for several months, and the government doesn't need money when collecting taxes. The government requires all the tax money to be turned into grain and handed over, and, All the rice farms in the city stopped selling grain, and our shopkeepers had no choice but to go to the countryside to search for food. The country people were unwilling to exchange grain because they couldn’t buy it with money at that time. To food!

Then in autumn, there was no grain to be harvested in the land, but the government tax was not less. Many families could not pay the tax and had to hand over the grain stored at home. Once there was no grain in this family, the village and town Today, the Li family was stolen, tomorrow the Zhang family was stolen, and the rice village was opened, but the price was getting higher and higher every day, and everyone paid for it to fill their stomachs. I have to buy those expensive grains! "
