Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

Bring those maidservants with you tomorrow and observe them to see if they can be used?

As for how to provide food, let the tenants or nearby villagers work in the future.

You can do half-work and half-send the gift, but you can’t give it to them for free, lest you whet their appetites.

Of course, if you encounter those who really don’t have the labor force, just send them away directly.”

Li Qi said happily, “Master is righteous, I will listen to you.

Then I will take people to buy food now. If it continues to rain tomorrow, the price of food may go up."

It is a blessing for the servants if the master is kind and righteous.

Who doesn’t want to serve a master who has bottom lines, principles, and stable emotions?

Although the little master is young, he can see the sufferings of the world, understands the difficulties of life for people at the bottom of society, and has a compassionate heart. How rare is that!

I am lucky to have met a good master.

Shen Ruyi nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and do what you want. Buy as much as you can, don't be afraid of too much."

"Okay, Master."

After Butler Li left, Shen Ruyi was stunned for a long time.

I had seen those farmhouses from afar before, but there were almost no large blue brick and tiled houses. Most of them were low thatched houses, with only a few tiled houses here and there.

The reality is much worse than I imagined.

It is definitely not something that can be depicted by illustrations in a few pages of history books.

She knew that people were poor in ancient times, but knowing is one thing and actually seeing it is another.

It was quite shocking and scary, far beyond my imagination.

A house like this is nothing at all in the face of heavy snow.

Shen Ruyi then entered the space and continued to cultivate the soil for the potatoes.

There is no point in being anxious now. It is better to farm well, store more grain seeds, cultivate more good grain seeds in the future, and promote them. This will be most effective.

While we were having afternoon fruit tea, the snow not only did not stop, but was getting heavier.

Nanny, Yiren and Manju had all witnessed the horrors of snow disasters before, so they ate the fruit today in silence.

The little kid Changle laughed out loud when he saw the snowflakes flying all over the sky and the yard still covered with white snow after being swept several times.

And left behind a string of happy little footprints!

But Changle still felt the solemnity in the air.

However, none of the adults said a word.

What can I say? How can I stop it from snowing?

It’s the same whether you say it or not.

All we can say is that in the face of nature, human beings are truly insignificant and powerless to resist.

Shen Ruyi then went straight into the space to cultivate the soil. Worrying was useless, only working was useful.

After finishing all the potatoes, I started to work on the sweet potatoes. I didn’t stop until dinner time, and then I left the space.

The snow has become a little lighter, but it hasn't stopped yet. I hope it will stop at night, but it can't continue to fall.

After dinner, Shen Ruyi continued to work in the space and continued to cultivate the soil.

When you feel tired, drink spring water and eat strawberries.

Taking advantage of the short break time, I found a piece of open space, planted the watermelon seeds soaked in spiritual spring water, and watered them with some spiritual spring water.

Although I bought many varieties of seeds, the quantity is not large. If I want to plant them on a large scale outside, I must plant them myself first, use the spiritual spring water, and cultivate some high-yield seeds.

Relying on these rare things, a lot of wealth can be accumulated.

Then promote the grain seeds at the right time in a non-profitable way.

I just don't know when the Queen Mother's party will fall.

From what Nanny and Yiren have described, the current emperor is pretty good. He can't be said to love his people like his own children, but at least he takes the common people seriously.

If the politics is not clear, we will be afraid that we will plant these things and others will forcibly pick the fruits of them.

If they use it to seek benefits for themselves, they will probably be sick to death.

We also have to guard against the noble families coming to plunder. As the ancients said, the emperors come and go, but the noble families remain forever.

We can't just kill all these people.

I can only take it one step at a time. No matter what, I have to make preparations first.

As for whether to plant it outside and how to plant it, we will decide when the time comes.

I was busy until it was time to go to bed, and then I came out. The snow still hadn't stopped. It was really terrible.

-

The next morning, Shen Ruyi woke up and looked outside first. Fortunately, it had stopped.

But judging from the thickness of the snow, it has been snowing quite a bit since I fell asleep last night.

Shen Ruyi took a special look at the snow in the garden. Not counting the melted snow, the remaining snow was more than two feet thick.

How can ordinary people’s thatched houses withstand such a volume?

Butler Li and his companions had breakfast very early today. After breakfast, they left with their people and the food they had just bought yesterday.

All the carriages in the mansion were dispatched, but they were far from enough, so several more carriages were hired.

It was said that they invited external help from a martial arts school and two escort agencies, a total of 36 people went together.

The main reason is that there are too many villages now, with a total of 6 places. If people are scattered, there won’t be enough to see.

There is still a shortage of staff. I should form and train one later, similar to the rescue team in my previous life.

Just do what you need to do in your daily life, and go to rescue if there is a disaster.

You can also ask someone to see if there are any veterans who have returned from the battlefield.

Ask them to help with training, preferably those who have served as scouts.

You also need to raise some dogs or something and train them.

Aren't you planning to go into the mountains with Sister Yiren after the New Year? Let's see if we can use the spiritual spring water to coax a few wild beasts back home.

If you really can't coax her back home, it would be ok to be friends with her for mutual benefit.

They occasionally help me and I give them some spiritual spring water.

If they don't believe it, they won't be willing to make this deal.

If they are unwilling, it means that the benefits have not been given enough. Just give them as much benefits as possible.

Let’s do it this way. After thinking about it, Shen Ruyi went back to the space to work, while the others went to practice.

After another busy day, I finally finished cultivating the soil for the sweet potatoes.

It was very dark at night when Butler Li came back with his men.

Everyone was in a very bad state, but their spirits were still good.

The food and hot water are ready, so wash what needs to be washed and eat what needs to be eaten.

After Butler Li took a shower and finished his meal, Shen Ruyi went to the reception room to listen to him tell the details.

Butler Li had completely recovered. He drank a sip of hot tea and said, "Master, the rain outside the city is much heavier than inside. Fortunately, we brought people to help today. Otherwise, many people would have been buried alive and frozen to death.

Not to mention outside the city, many houses in the south and north of the city had collapsed. When we were leaving the city, we saw soldiers checking there.

We should have arrived at Zhuangzi earlier, finished earlier, and returned earlier.

But on the way there, we came across many villages. In each village there were always a few collapsed houses and the villagers were digging for people.

Seeing that there were very few people there, we offered to help.

When they were almost there, they split into six groups and first helped the tenants rescue the buried people.

He distributed some of the food according to the situation and the degree of need, and then went to the two villages closest to the village to help.

The snow was so heavy that even those thatched houses couldn't withstand the continuous snowfall no matter how hard they tried to clear the snow.

The grain was also distributed, and the village head and clan leader were asked to guarantee it, and it was confirmed that they would be paid back after the new year. "

"Okay. Were there any casualties in the places we visited today?"
