Chapter 56 Finding an Excuse to Distribute Food and Disaster Relief

Maodong's life is comfortable and boring, even Zhu Zhanji ran to the workshop every day after class, saying that he wanted to see what sharp weapons the other party had prepared.

"Husband."

Fang Xing was lying on the newly built kang, dozing lazily, while Zhang Shuhui just came in after finishing the housework.

"Husband!"

Seeing Fang Xing's appearance, Zhang Shuhui couldn't help stomping her lotus feet lightly, and said angrily, "Husband, I have something to tell you."

Fang Xing didn't even want to open his eyes, "Just tell me, I'll listen."

Zhang Shuhui took out a piece of paper, and said with a sad face, "I'm afraid the households don't have enough grain for next year's wheat harvest."

Fang Xing regained consciousness. Thinking of the climate and crops in the north, he said helplessly, "Unless you grow high-yield crops in this climate, life must be tight."

Zhang Shuhui deeply believed that at this time in the north of Daming, those small landlords were very difficult, and they would eat their meat in vain, not to mention the peasant households.

That's why Fang Xing was able to get the support of everyone in Fangjiazhuang. Without him, he was willing to eat.

People these days have very low desires, they can eat enough to eat, and go out with a piece of clothing that can cover their bodies, which is considered a prosperous age.

Therefore, during the slack season, those farm households would go to the mountains to find some alternative grains, in order to survive until the next year's wheat harvest.

So the reason why the north is vast and sparsely populated is that there is not enough food to eat.

However, the fields around Beiping Mansion are not bad, at least much more than those outside the pass.

Fang Xing thought for a while and asked, "Is there enough food in our family?"

After the wheat is harvested, the first thing to do is to pay the rent of the master's family, and then the rest is the family's rations for one year.

Speaking of this, Zhang Shuhui's sorrow disappeared: "Enough, I just went to see it yesterday, at least enough for our family to feed for several years."

Small landlords these days have the habit of hoarding grain because they are afraid of natural and man-made disasters.

Fang Xing opened his eyes, and said strangely: "Then what are you worried about? When the time comes, we will eat according to human hair."

"That's what it is!"

But Zhang Shuhui shook her head and said: "My family's food belongs to my family, there is no reason to give it to others for no reason!"

A woman without mercy!

Fang Xing sat up and was about to criticize a few words, but Zhang Shuhui said sternly: "Husband, this is the way of the world. If our family starts this way, it will inevitably be criticized by thousands of people in the future."

"Yeah?"

Fang Xing was a little dizzy. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this is the current unspoken rule. Anyone who breaks this rule will be attacked by everyone.

But you can't eat delicious and spicy food by yourself, just watch the farmers go hungry.

This is a big problem!

Fang Xing pulled Zhang Shuhui over without any sleepiness, and put his arms around her to discuss a solution.

The room was very warm, Zhang Shuhui's face was agitated by the heat, and she looked pink, Fang Xing even forgot what was going on.

"Husband, I think we can give porridge."

Zhang Shuhui thought the idea was good, so she turned her head to discuss the details. But when she turned around, she saw a pair of burning eyes.

"Oh! Husband, don't, it's still broad daylight!"

"Whatever it is, it's cloudy... It's okay, we have to keep our bodies warm."

"..."

"People from every household are here! The young master has something to explain!"

It was getting cold, so the job of passing on the message was left to the servants, so shouts were everywhere in Fangjiazhuang.

Maodong's farmers all came out, and everyone gathered outside the main house, listening to their young master giving advice.

Fang Xing let out a dry cough, and seeing that most of the people looked healthy, he said, "I called everyone here today for no other reason than to feel that this day is too loose, so I'll find a job for everyone."

The farmers below were delighted when they heard it.

Nesting at home this winter, the whole family is consuming food, and they still can only go in and out, and even the head of the family has a lot of temper.

It's just a few old men who are a little muttering, thinking about what work they can do in this winter!

Fang Xing didn't care about the reaction below, and said to himself: "I always feel that there is something missing in our village. After thinking about it carefully, it turns out that there is a lack of planning!"

"Planning? What's that?"

At that moment, some people felt that Fang Xing didn't understand what he was saying, and they were about to ask questions, but they were kicked by the guard who was watching the scene.

"Master, be more honest!"

Fang Xing continued: "I took a look, one person from each family can take turns, and we will renovate the rocky land near the river in our village. Instead of growing food, let's dig ponds and grow lotus root to raise fish."

As soon as Fang Xing's words came out, everyone was speechless, looking at him as if they saw a fool.

In the end, an old man came out. He was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Fang Xing, and then said tremblingly, "Master, there is a river next to our village, and there is no shortage of fish! Besides, digging ponds is not easy. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it all winter!"

Digging ponds in winter is a big taboo. Firstly, the soil is hard and hard to dig;

But Fang Xing shouted: "I know what you all said, but I'm sure I'll dig this Young Master Tang."

Well, you are the young master and you have the final say.

Everyone was silent, just wondering if my young master has really become stupid, then will everyone have a good life in the future?

Fang Xing didn't care what he said: "Each family contributes one laborer, two catties of flour per day, so that's it!"

"Master is crazy!"

The news of Fang Xing's madness was spreading in Fangjiazhuang, and people were panicking.

Then Fangjiazhuang became a large construction site, and people came and went by the river every day, digging and transporting soil, but the atmosphere was a bit dull.

"Brother Dehua, why not wait until summer to do it?"

Zhu Zhanji persuaded with a suppressed smile.

But Ma Su had a different opinion. He carried a shovel and said with piercing eyes, "Teacher, did you do this on purpose?"

Fang Xing laughed, touched the top of Ma Su's head in relief, and then gave Zhu Zhanji a contemptuous look.

"You still know the heart of being a teacher! Unlike some people, who are heartless."

Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly: "I was wrong, but Brother Dehua, don't you know the disadvantages of breaking ground in the north in winter?"

Fang Xing laughed, "Why don't I know, I also know that in the past, in order to break the ground in winter, you had to use firewood to soften the soil first."

"Then you still..."

Zhu Zhanji finally felt relieved - so he wasn't stupid!

Fang Xing said proudly: "It's winter, I want to do something but I'm afraid I will be taboo, but the farmers' food is tight, so I just find an excuse to distribute food!"

Fuck! Is that all right?

Zhu Zhanji felt that his IQ had been refreshed again.

Ma Su bowed and moved, "Teacher is merciful."

Fang Xing saw that neither of them understood the true meaning of it, so he sat with them by the edge of the field and narrated his intentions.

"I can't give them food for nothing, can I?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded.

"Then it's over!"

Fang Xing said with far-reaching eyes: "From a small point of view, this is similar to a disaster relief act, but from a large point of view..."

"Taishun, if a disaster happened in a certain place and you went to relieve the disaster, what would you do?"
