Even though the Lantern Festival was distributed till dark, there were still refugees coming.
Huahu and Jianglong were too tired to lift their arms, so Song Tuanyuan had to temporarily close the stall.
Lying on the bed, thinking about the dark crowd, Song Tuanyuan raised his eyes and looked at Ji Changan: "With so many people, how much food will they eat in the past three months?"
Ji Changan raised his eyes and said calmly: "The most economical solution is a million pounds!"
Song Tuanyuan was shocked, "Where did you get so much food?"
"Before, food stores everywhere had food in stock!" Ji Changan hesitated, but suddenly there were so many people, it was indeed a bit tricky."
"Instead of teaching people how to fish, it is better to teach them how to fish!" Song Tuanyuan said, "We only distribute the minimum amount of food to each person every day, and then teach them to eat from the mountains and the water!"
Ji Changan asked: "What do you mean..."
"Select young adults to go hunting in the mountains and fish in rivers, old people and children to dig wild vegetables, and young women to reclaim wasteland and plant crops!" Song Tuanyuan said, "At least this way we don't have to rely on you!"
Ji Changan thought for a while: "It's just that the food on this mountain is probably almost exhausted. Previously, the supply of food was the minimum. Everyone had to go up the mountain when they were hungry."
Song Tuanyuan frowned: "Then plant some green vegetables first. Green vegetables have a short growth time. There are also beans that can grow bean sprouts. The fungi from the mountains can be harvested and cultivated. In short, it will reduce your expenses!"
Ji Changan nodded.
"Tomorrow, Mrs. Zheng and I will hold a meeting with the families of those six. You are responsible for the men, and I am responsible for the women!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Ji Changan had exactly what he meant.
The most important thing in taking in these refugees is young people, and tomorrow we will take advantage of this opportunity to win them over.
"Do you still want to go out and look at the moon?" Ji Changan put down his pen and looked up at the cool moonlight outside the window.
The full moon is beautiful tonight.
Although Song Tuanyuan was so tired that her back ached, this was her first Lantern Festival with Ji Changan, so she nodded.
Ji Changan stepped forward and suddenly bent over and hugged Song Tuanyuan.
"You..." Song Tuanyuan was startled and quickly hugged Ji Changan's neck.
"This place is far away from Tiancheng, and there are not so many secular prejudices. Here, I am just Ji Changan, and you are you!" Ji Changan whispered, his lips lightly pressed on Song Tuanyuan's face, and then he hugged Song Tuanyuan
He strode out of the room.
Putting his feet firmly on the flower bed in the center of the yard, Ji Changan held Song Tuanyuan in his arms and jumped steadily onto the wall, then walked up to the roof.
The courtyard where Song Tuanyuan and Ji Changan are now is the largest courtyard in Annan City. The roof is flat, and some corn and rice can be dried on it.
Ji Changan held Song Tuanyuan and sat on the edge of the stone steps. The round moon was like a disk hanging in front of them.
As if by magic, Song Tuanyuan took out a few snacks from his sleeves and stuffed them into Ji Changan's mouth.
"Aren't you full?" Ji Changan asked with lowered eyes.
"Now that I'm full, it would be best to have some snacks, drink some wine, and then listen to the love story between Chang'e and Wu Gang!" Song Tuanyuan said.
"Chang'e and Wu Gang? Didn't Chang'e follow Hou Yi?" Ji Chang'an asked.
"Chang'e and Hou Yi are in the right relationship. Chang'e and Wu Gang probably feel the same as we do!" Song Tuanyuan leaned gently in Ji Changan's arms, "Forbidden love!"
Ji Changan smiled: "It's not that exaggerated. It's just the eyes of the world. If you really love each other, why should you care? Besides, it's the two of us who live together, not others!"
Song Tuanyuan leaned in Ji Changan's arms, listening to the man's heartbeat. Although it was still a bit cold in the cold night, her heart felt warm.
If possible, she would rather not live in Tiancheng.
The next day, Mrs. Zheng came with six ladies.
Two of these six ladies were from the countryside, one was the eldest lady of the escort agency, and the other three were businessmen before. One opened a gambling house, one opened an inn, and one opened a tavern.
After listening to the introduction, Song Tuanyuan suddenly felt that these six ladies would be wonderful together.
"Are you the Lord of County Song?" the eldest lady from the escort agency asked, seeming a little unconvinced in her words, and looked at Song Tuanyuan.
Song Tuanyuan smiled: "Yes!"
"What rank is the county chief?" One of the ladies from the countryside asked Zheng in a low voice.
Zheng doesn't know either.
"The county lord is the second grade, excluding the princess, the county lord is the county lord. It's just that although the county lord has a rank, his official position is different from that of a man!" said the proprietress of the tavern.
Song Tuanyuan nodded and asked, "What do you call this lady?"
"Just call me Jiushi!" Jiushi said, "Our ancestors all opened taverns. The business was good at first, but unfortunately there was a riot and floods, and nothing was left!"
Jiushi felt a little sad.
"It's not just your tavern that's missing!" The gambling shop owner immediately said, "Aren't my dozens of gambling dens bigger than your tavern?"
"Okay, now we are relying on Mr. Ji and County Lord Song to support us. Why are we talking about the past?" the eldest lady who runs the escort agency said in a low voice. She raised her eyes and glanced at Song Tuanyuan, "County Lord Song called us here.
, but do you have something to discuss?”
Song Tuanyuan nodded and said: "There are so many refugees in Annan County. We need to rebuild after the disaster. Those who are willing to stay will be given wasteland, tools and seeds for reclamation. Mr. Ji has also said that they will guarantee three months of rations. But this means teaching a man to fish."
It's better to teach people how to fish. With so many people, Mr. Ji alone can't do it, so what I mean is that on the basis that Mr. Ji can keep him from starving to death, we still have to find a way on our own!"
"If there was a way, I would have thought of it!" Zheng said helplessly, "Now Annan County is completely deserted and there is nothing. What can we do?"
Mr. Jiu also nodded: "We can't even open a tavern, let alone a gambling house!"
Song Tuanyuan smiled and said: "Everything is waiting to be done now, but the first thing is to fill our stomachs. I have some ways to find food here. Can you guys see if they can be used?"
Everyone said they were all ears.
Song Tuanyuan talked about the idea of growing bean sprouts and planting a batch of vegetables first, so that everyone could stabilize themselves first, and then she would think of ways to do business with the surrounding area.
"Business?" When Jiu heard this, he immediately became energetic, "Then can I open a tavern?"
"It's just that Annan County is full of refugees. Who would want to come?" Biao felt it was impossible.
"As long as there are things here that can't be found outside, they will naturally be willing to come!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Everyone looked at each other, what is it that Annan County does not have and does not have outside?
"Growing mushrooms," Song Tuanyuan said, "There are fungi on the mountain. If you take the strains back and cultivate them, if you do it quickly, the mushrooms can be produced in a week and harvested in fourteen days. We can also use the same method to cultivate Ganoderma lucidum!"
"When the time comes, we will use fungi to attract merchants!" Song Tuanyuan whispered, "When people circulate, money will naturally circulate as well!"
Song Tuanyuan raised her eyes and looked out at this great world. She wanted to build Annan County into a place she could rely on.
