Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It is not rainy, the climate is relatively dry, but in the spring, due to the melting of ice and snow, the flow of the river will become very large in a short time, and the riverbed is low, and the water will spread everywhere as soon as the water comes, because the amount of water becomes too large in an instant, so the banks of many rivers will be washed and lowered, but fortunately, the time of the water is very short, and the nomadic tribes leave quickly, and the water comes and moves to other places, so the loss is not big.
However, the flood is not a good thing after all, and the lives of many poor herdsmen on the grassland will become more difficult, so that many poor herdsmen go to Zhenxi to beg for a living, and the population pressure in Zhenxi will suddenly become greater.
On this day, Yang Ze sat in the lobby and was worried, Yan Chenghou and Hao Weifeng stood in front of the big case, and the faces of the three of them were ugly.
Yang Ze said: "There is not enough food in the city, how long can it be supported?" ”
Yan Chenghou said without thinking: "Originally, it was no problem to insist until the end of summer, but a large number of people and herdsmen have come to the city these days, these people have no savings, and can only live by buying grain and relief, so the consumption of stored grain is huge, and it can hold on for another month, and then the grain will be cut off, and the place where we buy grain is not close to us, in order to keep the grain, I am afraid that we have to buy it now." ”
Yang Ze scratched his forehead and said: "It's the spring famine season, I'm afraid it's not easy to buy grain, we don't have too many grain merchants in the city, and we can't catch anyone who wants to catch a hoarder, and if I want to kill a chicken to show the monkeys, I can't find a chicken!" ”
Hao Weifeng nodded again and again, there are grain merchants in Zhenxi City, but they are all small grain merchants, small businesses, and they don't have so much money to hoard grain. He said, "I heard that it is in a big place. The grain merchant's house is a good errand, and he has never done this errand. I really want to go! ”
Yan Chenghou glanced at him, this guy didn't even think about whether it would cause chaos if there was not enough food, but he was thinking about raiding his house, could it be that the recent flood had gone to his mind.
Yang Ze said: "Grain must be purchased, send more people out, we have gold." Don't be afraid to spend money. You can also go to the grassland and buy some cattle and sheep from the bald people. ”
Yan Chenghou agreed, and he also thought of this.
But Hao Weifeng woke up from the dream of the grain thief, shook his head and said: "Now the bald cattle and sheep are thin, all of them are bones, and those who can survive the winter are good cattle and sheep, which should be used for breeding." Having more calves and lambs is the lifeblood of herdsmen, and even if you buy them, you can't buy much. ”
Yang Ze sighed, thought about it, and said solemnly: "Should you buy it or have to buy it." If the herdsmen need salt, they can also exchange it with them, of course, they have to trade privately. It's still mainly to buy food, and you can do it with all your might. Don't worry about money. ”
Yan Chenghou nodded, he was now the big housekeeper of Zhenxi. In addition to public security, all things are in his charge, and he is very satisfied, and the busier he is, the happier he is.
Yang Ze looked at Hao Weifeng and asked, "How is the security in the city recently, there are more and more people now, there are everyone, I guess there are a lot of things, can you handle it?" ”
Hao Weifeng hurriedly patted his chest and said: "The county is relieved, although there are many people, but the lowly position can still suppress them, as long as those who come to escape the famine have a stutter, they will not make a mess, and the ones to guard against are only those who want to fish in troubled waters, generally even if something happens, it is also these people who have an accident, but as long as the lowly position takes someone to teach them a lesson, they will be honest." ”
Yang Ze hummed, waved them down, and went their own way. He was about to deal with a few official documents, but he saw Nana running into the lobby and shouted, "It's here, it's here......"
Yang Ze put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Who has arrived?" ”
"The painters, as well as the craftsmen of the engraving, have all arrived, all from Langzhou, dozens of people, several big cars!" Nana exclaimed excitedly, she had been looking forward to publishing a picture album and drawing herself.
Yang Ze is also happy, he has thought about this matter these days, this year to publish a book is a lofty behavior, only literate people can buy books and read books, ordinary people are not good, but if it is a tabloid printed with movable type, those words are small, but a tabloid issue is published every day or three or five days, written in vernacular, as long as someone reads the newspaper, it can be explained to the people, easy to understand, these will not increase some influence, it can be regarded as his contribution to this era.
This kind of idea does not appear, as soon as it appears, it can not be suppressed, he sent people to Langzhou, which is a state city bigger than Qiuzhou, sending people to find a big bookseller, money is not a problem, he just lacks craftsmen, now that the craftsmen have arrived, he is naturally happy.
In front of the craftsmen, there was a middle-aged literati standing in the dust, very shrewd in appearance, wearing a blue robe, at a glance, this person must have failed the imperial examination, and turned to do business, he is a literate businessman, Shinong industry and commerce, if it is not for the imperial examination, under normal circumstances, the literati will not engage in business.
Yang Ze was wearing an official uniform today, and when the middle-aged literati saw it, he immediately stepped forward, bowed down and saluted: "The grass people have made a statement, I have seen Lord Yang!" ”
"You are the owner of Chen's Bookstore, you really made the official wait so hard, and I finally looked forward to you!" Yang Ze smiled, holding his hands weakly, exempting him from courtesy.
The statement was first taken aback, and then excited, he came from Langzhou, the journey was really hard, not only physical overdraft, psychologically tired, his bookstore in Langzhou was greatly suppressed by his peers, business is very difficult to do, otherwise Yang Ze can not send someone to find it, he is willing to come, who can live comfortably at home, but also to run to other places, or to run away with his belongings, he thought along the way that if the business in Zhenxi is not easy to do, it will be over, it is estimated that if he returns to Langzhou, he has to buy belongings.
Which Cheng wanted the county order of Zhenxi to welcome him so much, not only greeted him, but also had a posture of a long drought and rain, and the statement was immediately decided, and he was in Zhenxi, and he would be in Zhenxi in the future!
The status of businessmen in this year is low, and if the attitude of the officials towards businessmen is slightly better, it can make businessmen have a lot of determination, and Yang Ze has such a good attitude towards statements. Of course, I am willing to exhibit in Zhenxi.
Yang Ze asked for a statement that he had entered the county office, and the vegetables had to follow in. She didn't speak just listened, listening to Yang Ze and his statement about how to publish a picture album, when she heard that Yang Ze wanted to start a tabloid, Caicai's eyes lit up, although the little girl is not very old, but she has a natural hobby for gossip, tabloids, isn't it gossip for sale. Of course, this year is not called gossip, it is called the words of the market, gossip is just Yang Ze's name, but with the rise of tabloids, the word gossip will be known to the world.
Not to mention the affairs of the county government, it is at the gate of Zhenxi County. Song Xiaoche sat on a stool, dressed up all over his body, with a knife on his knees, and looked intently at the porridge shed not far away, where there were hundreds of people from other places who had fled the famine, waiting to receive the porridge!
As more and more people and herders fled from other places. The county decided to give soup porridge to let the refugees survive the spring famine, first, to reduce the pressure on law and order, and second, to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit some craftsmen to work in the city. At the very least, you can recruit some strong people to go into the city to do some physical work.
Song Xiaoche has been a catcher since he was in Zhenxi. is determined to become the most powerful catcher in this yamen, to solve the biggest case, and to become the youngest catcher. It's a pity, I don't know if other catchers think the same way, so he works hard, or his own ability is too poor, and he has never been able to solve any big cases.
Feeling a little bored, Song Xiaoche wiped his face and thought: "Yesterday I solved a case of stealing chickens, but it's a pity, although it was a fat old hen that was stolen, but the thief couldn't help beating, I only scared a few words, punched him a few times, and he did all the tricks, and the whole case was solved in less than half a day, there is really no credit to talk about!" ”
Just thinking about it, I suddenly saw two catchers entering the city, and one of them shouted: "Song Xiaoche, what are you thinking about sitting there, and you want to solve a big case again?" ”
The other smiled and said, "I heard that you solved a big chicken stealing case yesterday, but you were rewarded by the county?" ”
The two of them laughed, they were all Song Xiaoche's colleagues, the Yamen who was more advanced than Song Xiaoche, and they always joked about Song Xiaoche because they were older.
Song Xiaoche hurriedly stood up, didn't dare to lose his temper, and smiled at the two of them: "Isn't it my errand, I'm afraid of these troubles fleeing from the famine, I'm busy, how can there be a case to solve!" ”
The two catchers made fun of him a few more words, as long as the people who escaped from the famine had stuttering, how could there be any chaos, this kind of errand was obviously for people who were nothing, and the people who were nothing were Song Xiaoche. They talked and laughed, and went into the city gate.
Song Xiaoche looked at their backs, snorted, and thought: "Let you look down on me, sooner or later I will solve a big case for you to see, it is even bigger than Feng Sanaxe's case, and then I will be promoted to catch the head, see how I clean you up!" ”
He sat back on the stool, looked at the people who were waiting to receive the porridge, and couldn't help sighing, these people who received the porridge are indeed too honest, as long as they stutter, they won't make trouble, but if they don't make trouble, they have to keep out this kind of tolerance, it's really worrying, even if there is a case of stealing chickens, it's better than sitting here.
After waiting for a while, suddenly a man rushed over from the city gate, this man was in tatters, and he was also a deserter, but because of his strong body, he found a job by the river to smash wooden stakes to strengthen the river embankment, and he was full of two times a day, which was much more nourishing than the person who received the porridge!
The man hurried to the city gate, apparently to enter the city. Song Xiao stood up and shouted: "Hey, what are you doing, you don't work honestly by the river, what are you running to the city?" ”
The man hurriedly stopped, he didn't dare to talk back to the officials, he honestly stood in front of Song Xiaoche, and stammered a little: "There is an accident by the river, the little one has to go into the city to report to the official, and the official has to deal with it, and our people dare not move." ”
Song Xiaoche's eyes lit up, something happened, great, he was looking forward to it! He asked, "What happened, but there were people fighting, did they kill people, how many died?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No one fought, there was a corpse by the river, I don't know whose it was, so our foreman let the little one go into the city to report to the official!" ”
Song Xiaoche was overjoyed, so happy that he almost didn't jump up, a murder case, this is a big case, it can be regarded as waiting for the opportunity to show his face!
