After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Although it was just a courtyard, its area was almost the same size as her house in Sujia Village.

But it's empty inside, with no people at all, which gives people a feeling of being wasted.

Baili Zheng led her directly to a place similar to a cellar and said:

"Rongrong, put the food here!"

Su Rongrong took out all the coarse grains she brought from home, and then asked:

"Brother Zheng, my coarse grains and noodles are not as expensive as your fine rice and noodles.

But at this time, we only look at quantity, not quality.

All these added up, it’s quite a lot.

Not to mention anything else, there are over a thousand kilograms of sweet potato rice alone.

So I want to exchange it one to one. You still owe me more than a thousand kilograms of rice. Is that okay?"

Baili Zheng tapped her forehead with a funny look on his face: "I would cheat anyone but you.

We can change it however you want.

But I won’t supply it to you now, but after I solve the problem of food shortage among the disaster victims.

I can’t enter the hypermarket because I don’t have any tasks right now.

I plan to ask the headmaster to give me an exam after I enter the county school tomorrow, and then I will try to get more results.

I plan to find an opportunity to go out and replace the good rice and noodles I bought from the supermarket.

I may need your help then!"

Su Rongrong nodded and said, "Okay! Just tell me when you plan to do it.

And Brother Zheng, there are so many victims. If you take over, what if the disaster is not over and the food is gone? How long do you plan to feed them?

There are eight or nine thousand people. Even if they drink liquid food, and each person consumes three taels of rice a day, that would be nearly three thousand kilograms.

This month, that means 80,000 to 90,000 kilograms of rice, which means four to five tons will be consumed.

Can you afford so much?"

Baili Zheng looked helpless: "You have to take it even if you can't get it out!

It was you who came up with the idea in the first place. If you don't continue to take care of it and let those disaster victims leave, those people will definitely have to continue to perform corvee labor.

Can you imagine what the consequences would be?

Those common people provided food and warm clothing, but in the end they still had to perform corvee labor.

Would you be happy if this happened to you?

Have you ever thought about what the consequences will be for you at that time? "

Su Rongrong was silent. She had good intentions when she set out, but she didn't expect the freezing rain disaster.

So when faced with Baili Zheng's words, she didn't know how to respond.

Baili Zheng continued: "If this is true, the final result will be that the more grateful the common people were to you in the beginning, the more they will hate you in the end.

From now on, you will be like a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat you.

Rongrong, I don't want to see that scene, so no matter what, we have to find a way to solve it. "

Baili Zheng said, and then continued: "I have also told you about my family's situation, you should know it.

My father is going to take up the post here. If the people are dissatisfied with the government, they may rebel under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives.

My father, no, my grandfather and his ilk had all reached the top of their careers as officials.

Not only that, when the time comes, under the attack of political enemies, they will be charged with false charges and the entire family may be beheaded.

So, I'm not only doing this for you, but also for my own family.

The rice and flour in the supermarkets are good, and the rich families have no shortage of food.

I can use these good ones and swap them for whole grains and whole noodles.

I think a conversion of one to five or one to three should be fine."

At worst, if there is a shortage, he can use his power to pressure others and buy it with money.

It’s just that at this time, what you can buy with money is relatively small, so it’s not very cost-effective.

Su Rongrong didn't know what he was going to do. After hearing what he said, she thought for a moment and said, "When it doesn't rain or the rain is light, I'll go to the back mountain to take a look.

If I can dig up some Pueraria lobata and yam by then, I can help you solve this problem.

Of course, it would be best if the freezing rain lasted for a shorter period of time.

It would be better if the rain stops as soon as possible and the sun comes out as soon as possible.

As long as it doesn't rain and there's sunshine, even if it's cold, it will be better than the current situation.

Those disaster victims can always do something.

If they work one more day, we will produce one less day of food.

By the way, Brother Zheng, have you ever calculated how long the food provided by the common people can feed the disaster victims?"

“The population of Lanxia County is not large, with a total of more than 7,000 households.

Among them, those with official titles, those who have used silver as collateral, those who are doing business here, and those who are not in the local household register are excluded.

In addition, some old, weak, sick and disabled people who are not eligible for labor service have to be eliminated. In the end, it would be considered good if there are 6,000 households.

Not every one of these six thousand households will contribute.

Some families who already have insufficient food and clothing would rather give up their people than provide food.

And this group of people should not be too small.

Finally, as far as I know, there are only more than 4,000 households that can afford to provide food.

Each family produces one stone, which is one hundred catties, equal to more than four hundred thousand catties.

However, there are only more than 400,000 kilograms of them. Because they were harvested too hastily, not only are there shelled ones, but there are also black human hearts and some sand mixed in.

Even if the people in the government office found out in the end, they would not take it as seriously as they did collecting land taxes in the past.

It can be said that it is not too much to turn a blind eye.

Therefore, what is edible in the end is not as much as imagined.

In the case of drinking liquid food, 80,000 to 90,000 kilograms per month.

Weighing more than 400,000 kilograms, at most we can survive for five months.

There are still more than two months until the Chinese New Year. In addition, January and February of the following year are very cold, which is the time when people are short of food.

I don’t know whether those people will go back.

That adds up to more than four months, less than five months.”

When Su Rongrong heard this, she was silent, thinking that the food was just about enough.

No wonder Brother Zheng was anxious!

After all, we can't ask people to eat liquid food every day, they still have to have a dry meal occasionally.

Not to mention ordinary times, even during the winter solstice, New Year's Eve and the first three days of the New Year, people have to eat some dry rice, right?

But eating this dry rice is equivalent to about eight or nine thousand or even tens of thousands of kilograms every day.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel a headache!

Now she felt that she had no other hope and could only hope that God would open his eyes and shorten the duration of the disaster.

If this freezing rain only lasts ten days or half a month and then stops, the victims will be able to continue working after the ice melts.

Even if the ground is frozen hard and difficult to dig, as long as everyone works together, we can all dig a little.

If you persist for one, two, ten days, the progress should be pretty good!

Baili Zheng saw that she was silent, smiled and said, "The situation is not too bad.

The reason I prepared these things first is just to prepare for the worst.

You think this is the worst, so what can't I deal with?

Let’s go back to Mrs. Wang’s courtyard.

It’s getting late today and the road back is difficult to travel. Just stay in the courtyard for one night and I’ll let Dahu take you back tomorrow.

Do you still have the wild boar meat from yesterday? I left in a hurry yesterday and didn’t have a hot meal.”
