Chapter 124 Important Matters (2)
"This young man..." Shopkeeper Sun was about to introduce the young young man to Li Xin.
"My surname is Yin, Yin Tianchen." The young man interrupted shopkeeper Sun. Every move he made carried a domineering air that comes naturally from being in a high position for a long time. Although he is still very young, his face has always been very...
Seriously. If you look closely, your face is actually a bit childish, but there is absolutely no childish feeling in his impression.
"It's Young Master Yin! Now that we're here, let's get straight to the point! I don't have much time here, and I think you all are also busy people here." Li Xin said with a smile. After she finished speaking, she quietly drank tea.
Waiting for Yin Tianchen's reaction.
"Many places in the north are suffering from drought. In some places, it has not rained for more than 200 days. It has become a disaster. The court wants to provide disaster relief. However, in recent years, there have been many disasters across the country.
The treasury is really empty. There is not much surplus grain in the granaries in various places. I heard from the Sun family that Miss Li will harvest a lot of sweet potatoes here. I have also tasted sweet potatoes. They taste pretty good, mainly because they can satisfy hunger.
That’s why I came to see Miss Li.”
"I understand what Mr. Yin means. You want to use those sweet potatoes to provide disaster relief, right? So what does the court mean? Does Mr. Yin have the final say in all things?" Li Xin thought for a while and asked.
Tao. It turned out to be a drought. Natural disasters are often so unpredictable, and the affected area is often very wide. Once a disaster strikes, many people will suffer.
In the previous life she was familiar with, it was better. The transportation was very developed. If you knew where the disaster was, you could quickly rescue. Various supplies could also be quickly transported by plane and then airdropped. Moreover, the country was relatively wealthy, with food and the like
There are relatively large reserves. The country's leaders also attach great importance to post-disaster rescue work. Once a disaster occurs somewhere, the rescue is very timely and can save many people.
However, in this era, things are probably not as good as in the previous life! Let’s not talk about transportation. I don’t know if the court or local officials are concerned about it. If the court is concerned, it’s okay, but if the court is not concerned about it, the people will
They are really miserable.
Drought is actually very scary. It doesn't rain for a long time, and crops can't grow. Not only does the crops fail to grow, but it also becomes a problem for people to drink water. It's not like she hasn't heard of droughts. In some places, if you drill hundreds of feet,
You need a deep donburi to get water. In some places, you have to walk dozens of miles to fetch water.
"Yes. I have full authority to make the final decision regarding the court's disaster relief work. The court's intention is to first let Miss Li take the dug sweet potatoes for disaster relief. However, the court does not have much money to pay Miss Li for the time being.
I owe you some money first. However, the imperial court will give some rewards to Miss Li’s family for reclaiming the land.”
"Since it's a matter of rescuing people, I'll accept it. If you owe money for the time being, just owe it! It won't matter if you talk about it later. I don't expect a reward from the court, since it's shopkeeper Sun who brought Mr. Yin here. So,
I also trust Mr. Yin. The sweet potatoes have been sorted and placed in the cellar and warehouse. I think Mr. Yin will arrange the transportation, so I won't get involved."
"Miss Li understands justice well. Since Miss Li trusts me, please rest assured. I will definitely give Miss Li a lot of the money that should be given. I just want Miss Li to wait for the time being. Now I have to raise a lot of money."
Almost all the food and money have been spent." Yin Tianchen said, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Let me take Young Master Yin to the warehouse to take a look first!" Li Xin said, already standing up. It turns out that it is such a thing, and it is not a very important matter! Shopkeeper Sun was so careful before
Cautious, it really shocked her, what kind of thing she thought it was! However, after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be able to understand it.
This Young Master Yin is so young that he can actually preside over the court's disaster relief affairs. His identity is quite extraordinary. Shopkeeper Sun is so careful, maybe he thinks that this Young Master Yin is his identity!
Li Xin stepped forward, opened the door, and took a few people to the warehouse. Because the cellar inside the village was relatively small, most of the sweet potatoes were still stored in the warehouse. Fresh vegetables in the south are available almost all year round.
It can be supplied. Most people don't use cellars very much. Even if there is a cellar, it is usually not large in scale. After all, there are not so many things to store.
In the north, there are long winters, so almost every household has a cellar, and the scale is quite large. Because to survive the long winter, many families have to store a lot of food in the cellar.
The warehouse on Zhuangzi is quite large. Because when he was planning to plant sweet potatoes on a large area, Li Xin asked Wang Fu and his wife to expand the warehouse. Now, the warehouse on Zhuangzi is very big.
, a row of houses. However, there were many sweet potatoes dug out this time, and Pinxiang Pavilion did not buy too many, so all the sweet potatoes almost filled the entire warehouse.
Soon, they arrived at the warehouse. Li Xin took out the key to the warehouse and went up to open the door of the warehouse. There were piles of sweet potatoes piled inside. The seeds of sweet potatoes are very good, so the seeds of sweet potatoes are very good.
It's also very big, with huge piles of sweet potatoes piled together like a hill, which makes people feel very comfortable when looking at it.
In this era, food is still considered the lifeblood of a family! Many wealthy families store a lot of food. After all, with food, it is always easier to survive no matter what time or situation.
"There are really a lot of sweet potatoes!" Yin Tianchen squatted down, took two sweet potatoes and looked at them carefully. Why had he never felt that food was so touching before? Perhaps, only by knowing the seriousness of the drought
, knowing that many people are suffering from hunger, only then can we understand the importance of food!
After seeing the miserable situation of those people, he realized that so many people in the capital lived a luxurious life. The contrast was really sad. Thinking of the life he lived before, he also felt that he was a very annoying person.
In the past, people were unwilling to eat any food that was not to their liking. In the past many years, a lot of food was wasted, and a lot of money was wasted on food.
