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

Chapter 203 1 I feel like a liar

Then, she added, “Your master said that there will be a drought next.

I don't know how much harvest we can get after planting all these drought-resistant plants.

How long will this drought last?

How should the tenant farmers in the village be resettled when the time comes?

Thinking about these problems gives me a headache.

I have never learned these things, and my aunt understands them even less than I do.

And Great Aunt, do you think she is someone who understands these things?"

When Da Hu heard this, he thought she was worried about this matter, and thought to himself, if you marry my master, these problems will naturally be solved.

But when he thought about his master's identity, and the fact that the person in front of him was indeed not qualified, he fell silent and stopped talking.

There were indeed girls from the Duke of Protectorate’s Mansion who married commoners, but they were all concubines’ daughters.

Moreover, when a daughter marries out, as long as her parents' family is powerful, no matter whether she marries into a high or low position, it will not have much impact on her or her parents' family.

But if the person you marry is going to be the mistress of the household in the future, you cannot afford to neglect him.

Fortunately, the girl in front of him was somewhat special, and she was still young, so the lady liked her.

Perhaps, you can bring him/her along personally and give him/her guidance.

In the future, as long as she keeps up with her education, her family background should not be a problem.

It's not impossible to be like this with my own master!

Su Rongrong didn't know that Da Hu's thoughts were scattered, and seeing that he didn't answer, she asked:

"Da Hu, what do you think is the possibility that Brother Zheng, Wei Bo Niang, and I can get Chi Yan and the other two?

Or, borrow them.

Then I will find someone to learn from them, and when I have trained them, I will return them to your Baili family."

"These three are all the Madam's sons who came with her as a dowry. Miss Rongrong will have to ask Madam about this."

Su Rongrong sighed and said, "Let's go, it's too hot outside, I'll ask when we get back.

By the way, I’m planning to go to Lucheng in a few days. Would you like to come with me?

Don't worry, I will talk to Brother Zheng when the time comes.

In addition to what Brother Zheng gave you, I will give you three times the monthly silver."

Da Hu didn't respond to the rest of the conversation, but just said, "It was indeed a lot hotter this afternoon, hotter than in previous years at the beginning of April.

If the temperature continues to rise at this rate, I think the ground will be dry and cracked by May."

Su Rongrong pondered for a moment and said, "Later, ask Bai Yuan to inform the village head and ask him to instruct the tenants to dig a large cellar under their houses.

If the weather is really hot, people can live in the cellar.

Either way, it's cooler than living in a shack.

Also, store as much water as possible while it’s still plentiful.

After deducting the land tax from the sweet potatoes and other crops we grow, we will give half of the remaining money to them, and we will ship the rest back.

Another thing is that after stopping growing rice, the tenant farmers have a lot of free time.

Let the tenant farmers come to the farm and dig a big cellar.

Ten cents per person per day.

Another thing is to let the tenant farmers grow more vegetables, dry them and store them.

Water storage, you must store as much water as possible.

In addition to storing water, we also stockpiled food. Anyway, we just exaggerated the severity of the drought to those people."

"it is good!"

Da Hu also didn't know how serious the drought would be.

But he knew better than anyone else the special qualities of his master.

Since I said there is a drought and the master trusts me so much, then it will happen.

However, how long it will last and the extent of the drought remain to be determined.

He thought that if the temperature continued to rise like today, by the end of March, the temperature should be as high as that of June in previous years.

If it lasts for one or two years, or two or three years, a lot of people will probably die.

If it was just Muyang Prefecture, perhaps the situation would be better, after all, everyone could escape the famine.

If it were the entire Daque Dynasty, the world would probably be in chaos!

Their Duke of Huguo's Mansion is a family of military generals. Even if the master comes to be a county magistrate, it is a special case and requires special treatment.

Perhaps by then, the old emperor would no longer doubt the Baili family and would ask the master to put on armor and go to war...

Thinking of this, Da Hu asked, "Miss Rongrong, do you think I should go to the government office in person?

The master had previously personally written a letter to the court to report this matter.

I also told the prefect, but I don't think they did anything.

If everyone is not good, and only Lanxia County and Qijia Village are good, they will definitely be coveted by others.

If this drought is a matter for the entire dynasty, with the entire prefecture city as a support, then the pressure on the two Qi family farms and Lanxia County will be much less. "

Su Rongrong thought for a while before asking, "What did you say?"

"I said the same thing to the people of Lanxia County as I did to the prefect and the court.

Of course, the prefect and the court did not say it, it was the people from the Imperial Observatory who calculated it.

Rather, it is said that there is a capable person in Lanxia County who knows everything about astronomy and geography and calculated it.”

Su Rongrong: “…”

When I heard this, I felt that he was unreliable and a liar!

"I told you before, but the prefect didn't listen. Now that the weather is so abnormal, if I tell you again, I think he will believe it.

This time, don’t say that it’s a capable person in Lanxia County. Just say that there is such a capable person around Brother Zheng, and someone figured it out.

In addition, it was said that the matter had been reported to the imperial court.

However, the imperial court did not announce it because it was afraid of causing panic among the people, but only made preparations in secret.

Anyway, just fool people if you can.

Even if he discovered that this was not the case, the drought had already begun, and people would only be grateful to the Baili family.

If you can't convince the prefect, then find the Tongzhi, Wang, who was promoted from Lanxia County last year.

He is where he is today thanks to the Baili family."

"Okay, I'll go now! Telling you earlier will allow the people to prepare earlier."

"Go ahead, I'll stay at the manor today.

If there is any problem with the shop, please ask Chi Yan and the others to come to me."

She still needs to figure out how to solve the problems of these tenant farmers when the time comes.

Anyway, this matter needs to be dealt with before she goes to Lu City.

Otherwise, she was afraid that the person would go back from somewhere else and never come back.

These tenant farmers are people living at the bottom of society.

They didn't have their own land. Even though they lived in a village and their host was the Qi family, their life was really hard.

They rented the land from the Qi family and worked the land, but even in good years, they could barely make ends meet throughout the year.

When the harvest was a little worse, even food and clothing became a problem, and selling children was the norm.

She didn't care about the tenant farmers on other people's farms, she only cared about those in the Qi Mansion.

The next year was going to be a bad year, so she asked everyone to plant drought-resistant plants.

Not only that, she also made up for all the rice seeds that the tenant farmers had sown before.

She is not a kind person, but she is not completely heartless either.

Since it was her request, the loss should be borne by her.

And after paying taxes, half of what is grown will be given to the tenant farmers.

At least it can ensure that they have enough food and clothing.

Looking back, after the two acres of watermelons and three acres of peppers have produced, she will have more seeds on hand. She will fully promote the business next year and lead everyone to make money together.
