Lu Tingfang's eyes showed appreciation: "Be prepared, it's good." Xin'er, whether there will be a drought this year or not, it would be nice if you could think of being prepared. ”

Luo Xin's eyes lit up and said, "Uncle agrees with Xin'er's suggestion?" ”

"Hehe......" Lu Tingfang smiled and said: "I don't know about farming, but whenever the situation is not good, I always have to make some preparations, just like you said, be prepared." Anyway, for a family like ours, it doesn't cost a few silver to save some food. ”

"Uncle is far-sighted!"

"Stinky boy!" Lu Tingfang scolded with a smile.

"Hehe......" Luo Xin laughed dryly.

The two chatted a few more words, Luo Xin said goodbye, and Lu Tingfang also knew that Luo Ping and they went to buy grain, so he didn't keep him. After Luo Xin left the Lu Mansion, he came to the county office in a hurry, and after seeing Zhou Zhi County, he informed Zhou Zhi County of his speculation. Zhou Zhixian sighed and said:

"Xin'er, I also thought of this, and now I am embarrassed by this matter. It's good if the imperial court can cut taxes, but if it doesn't, it will be really difficult next year! ”

"If there is a real disaster, the government will not open a warehouse to release grain? Do you want to continue to collect taxes? ”

Zhou Zhixian's face was a little ugly and said: "Opening a warehouse to release grain and reducing taxes require the will of the imperial court. It's not something I can decide as a prefectural order. Alas, I'll try to prepare. Xin'er, since you have thought of it. Just save some food. ”

"Xin'er went to the city this time to buy food with her father and eldest brother."

"That's good!"

Zhou Zhixian frowned slightly and thought, and Luo Xin got up to say goodbye when he saw this. Zhou Zhixian knew that his father and eldest brother were here, so he no longer kept him.

When Luo Xin came to the gate of the city, he saw his father and eldest brother already waiting there. Seeing Luo Xin, Luo Qing said:

"Little brother, so long?"

Luo Xin jumped on the cow lane: "After going to Lu Mansion." I went to the county office again and informed my father-in-law about the incident. ”

"That's what your stepfather said?" Luo Ping drove the ox cart on the side. He asked solemnly.

"Alas!" Luo Xin sighed and said, "Uncle Lu and Father-in-law have already started to prepare, it seems that the price of this grain will rise soon." ”

Hearing Luo Xin say this, Luo Ping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid of becoming a joke in the village. I was even more afraid of being scolded by Luo Heng. But then he began to worry about Luo Heng again, and hesitated for a moment and said:

"Xin'er, if there is really a food shortage, do we really do that to your grandfather?"

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded sullenly, Dad couldn't hold his breath again.

"But......" Luo Ping's face was very awkward: "Do you really want your grandfather to ask for food from our family?" ”

"Hmm!" Luo Xin's face was also a little unsightly, and he didn't want to do this, but in order to avoid trouble in the future, he had to harden his heart.

Besides......

He Luo Xin is not giving his grandfather's family food, but just one way.

"But...... Your grandfather will feel bad. ”

"Daddy. I don't want that either! Luo Xin sighed and said: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country." Flat world. Xin'er doing this is also a way for the Qi family, not that Xin'er is unfilial. ”

"Daddy...... Understand, just do what the letter says! ”

Luo Ping began to drive the car silently, and the atmosphere was a little dull. Luo Xin took a deep breath, glanced at his eldest brother, and then changed his words and said:

"Big brother. I forgot to ask you, I remember the day I was drunk. I saw my cousin running out of our house with a purple face......"

Before Luo Xin's words fell, Luo Qing's eyebrows fluttered: "That's for me to beat!" Does this kid think I'm before? Gambling with me, it turned out that I was able to clean up easily, hahaha......"

returned to the village, first sent two bags of grain to Lin Chang's house, and then the three grandfathers returned to their homes. At this time, everyone in the village knew that Luo Ping's family had really bought grain and came back, and they also saw the five bags of grain on the ox cart and knew that it was 500 catties. They all pointed and chattered on the sidelines.

"Luo Lao's family is too timid, right?"

"It's like, where is this? Is he so sure there will be no rain in the future? ”

"Besides, we won the competition for water this year, but if we use water first in Shanglin Village, even if the situation is not good, we can still have a sixty percent harvest, right?"

"However, Luo's second family is really rich, and they buy five hundred catties of grain at once. Tsk......"

"Of course there is money, Luo Xin won the battle for water, and the county magistrate and those big families in the county will definitely send a lot of silver to Luo Xin."

"Alas, what a rich man! This is the beginning of the loser! ”

“…………”

Luo Xin heard all these words, but he didn't explain them, especially for those things that said that the county order and the big families in the county gave him money, and it was not bad to have this kind of rumor, so that some people would wonder where their family's money came from.

When the villagers saw the Luo family closing the courtyard door, they left in twos and threes while talking.

But......

The drought has returned.

Although it is not the kind of drought that destroys the crops, the drought is not small. At this time, the whole village was sad, not to mention the rice fields and fish farming, even the crops may not be able to harvest a few percent.

The fish raised in the rice fields all died due to lack of water, so that Roche had to praise Luo Xin once a day for being prescient, and the scholars were different.

However, there is still no one to buy food. On the one hand, they are still holding on to luck, looking forward to the rain all day, on the other hand, the price of grain has begun to rise, and it has risen a lot, so that these villagers are reluctant to give up the few dollars in their hands, and always feel that it is not appropriate to spend high prices to buy grain.

Seeing this situation, Luo Xin sighed in his heart, the more he waited, the higher the price of food!

Luo Xin didn't care about other people's things, so he lived according to his own rules calmly, Luo Xin didn't go to Lin Chang anymore, because Lin Chang told him that everything that should be taught to him had already been taught to him, he was a showman, if Luo Xin wanted to go to the next level, don't delay his work here, and Lin Chang pointed out a clear way for him to ask Lu Tingfang for advice.

Luo Xin went to see Lu Tingfang and explained his intention. Lu Tingfang didn't refuse, with his importance to Luo Xin, he had long wanted to teach Luo Xin, but he was just in the way of Lin Chang's face, so he was not embarrassed to bring it up. To become a partner of Luo Xin, this relationship is not solid, and to be able to become Luo Xin's teacher, this relationship is strong. So when Lu Tingfang heard that it was Lin Chang who agreed to Luo Xin to come to him to apprentice, he nodded and agreed.

So on the second day, Luo Xin came to Lu Tingfang's house again with six rites to apprentice, and then came to Lu Mansion every ten days for a day, Lu Tingfang explained to him the art of Shi Wen, and then corrected his homework until midnight, and then Luo Xin would stay in Lu Fu overnight, and when he left the next day, Lu Tingfang left him ten more Shi Wen homework.
