Chapter 1455 Sadness

At the end of the early morning, Mr. Wen took a step forward for the first time, changing his usual slow walking style, and walking fast on his two legs.

All the ministers kept their identities and did not run to catch up. They could only watch Mr. Wen run away.

Zhou Shuren looked at the Wen family's in-laws and raised his eyebrows. This was discussed a long time ago. Although the Wen family has created hatred, they have also gained some good reputation. People are forgetful. , except for those who have enmity with the Wen family, people will only remember the kindness of the Wen family in a few years.

Mr. Wang came over, "How much is Shuren going to donate?"

The two families are relatives-in-law, and this matter needs to be communicated, so as not to make the two families look bad if there is too much difference.

Zhou Shuren stretched out a slap, "I'm not as big as the Wen family, so I donate five hundred shi."

This is the most food he can produce, and his own land is not as good as Wen's.

In the past few years, my daughter-in-law has bought a lot of land one after another, all of which were bought in the grain continent, otherwise he would not even be able to get five hundred shi. Alas, the grain production in ancient times was too low, and he would have a headache just looking at the low data.

Mr. Wang stroked his beard, "The food donated by the Wen family is from the entire Wen family. Did you donate the entire Zhou family, or did you, the household secretary, donate it yourself?"

Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes and clicked his tongue twice. He really ignored it, "I donate it myself, and my sons donate their own food. Father, the people are short of food to save their lives."

Mr. Wang was silent. He has been an official all his life. In his heart, the people and the family are the most important. He looked at Zhou Shuren deeply. Zhou Shuren walked all the way. Most people saw Zhou Shuren's ability and luck, but ignored Zhou Shuren. things to do for the people.

In recent years, because of Zhou Shuren, many policies have been promoted, and these policies benefit the common people.

Mr. Wang smiled, "The Wang family also donates food in the same way as you."

Zhou Shuren tilted his head, "The old man has no separation."

Because he and Zhulan are from modern times, they don’t interfere with the properties of several houses in the family, and they will help. together.

Mr. Wang, "The old man has already drawn up a list for the division of the family, and will donate food in proportion to the share of the property."

Zhou Shuren bowed slightly, "The old man is very kind."

Mr. Wang can donate a whole number like the Wen family, and no one can fault it. Donate food like his method,

A lot of food will be donated, and the extra food can save the lives of too many people.

Back at the household department, Qiu Yan knew that the Wen family took the lead in donating food, and then worried, "How much do you think I should donate?"

Zhou Shuren looked at Qiu Yan, feeling in his heart that not every family can run a business. The merchants controlled by the big family earn money, and the proportion of money produced by the field is not high. Donating food will not hurt the muscles and bones, while Qiu Yan's family spends money. The main source of this is land and shop rent.

Zhou Shuren asked, "How much food did your family sell?"

Qiu Yan said, "Half of it is sold."

There is still half of the grain left in the family, and the Qiu family's property has not been added much in his hands. He feels that his family's life is more than enough than the last, and his life is still very satisfactory. Who would have thought that the national grain harvest this year would not be good. It has been carefully calculated.

Zhou Shuren patted Qiu Yan's shoulder, "Do what you can."

Qiu Yan was cruel, "I donate one hundred stone?"

"I mean do what you can. Don't donate your rations. There is a shortage of food in the market. This time, there must be people who want to buy food. It will be difficult for you to buy food by then."

Qiu Yan sighed, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sold so much grain."

"You are also buying a dowry for your granddaughter, and the money for the dowry cannot be saved."

Qiu Yan, "Hey, I'll think about how much to donate."

The news of the food donation spread quickly, and the Wen family moved even faster. At noon, the household department received a thousand shi of grain and rice chaff.

In the Zhou family, when Zhulan received the news, she asked the housekeeper to personally go to Zhuangzi to tell the boss that the grain was stored in Zhuangzi, and the grain was to be transported from Zhuangzi to Beijing.

Li said, "Mother, how much food will the second brother donate?"

"I'll ask someone to go to Liu's house and ask Master Liu how much he donated. Changyi will do as much as Liu's donated."

Su Xuan asked, "Where's third brother?"

Zhulan doesn't worry about Changlian, "The news of the food donation will spread throughout the states. Sanfang's food has already been shipped to Qizhou, and Sanfang doesn't have to worry about it."

While talking, Xuehan returned to her mother's house, Xuehan said, "Mom, how much is the family going to donate?"

Zhulan received the news that came back in earnest, "Your father donated five hundred shi, your elder brother gave a hundred shi, your second brother wanted to visit the Liu family, and your fourth brother a hundred shi."

As soon as Xuehan is counted as the third elder brother, his family has at least 700 shi, which is a big deal, "How do you donate separately?"

Zhulan shook her head, "If we don't donate together, we can donate more. How come you didn't prepare food?"

"I'm afraid that the food at home is not enough, so I came back and asked if I need any food. You also know that the Prince Qin's Mansion has a lot of fields."

Zhulan couldn't help laughing, King Qin was really proud, "Have you asked Princess Qi how much she donated?"

Xuehan said, "There was news in the palace, and several palaces passed letters. The Qin Palace is the emperor's younger brother and the richest prince. It doesn't look good to donate less. Our Qin Palace donated two thousand stones."

She wanted to sell some grain this year, because her natal family didn't sell any grain, so she also saved all the grain, and now Prince Qin's mansion has grain!

"Where is Prince Qi's Mansion?"

Xuehan said, "The other palaces are all 1,500 shi."

Zhulan counted the food and said with emotion, "This time the Wen family has indeed done a good thing."

Regardless of the calculations, the Wen family donated so much that those who wanted to fool around did not dare to donate less. This batch of food greatly relieved the pressure on food.

At the same time, Zhulan also felt sad. The poor people couldn't afford a few catties of grain, and the aristocratic family occupied the fertile land, and the grain donated was what many people could not grow in their lifetime.

The sorrow of the times, the serious gap in class status, resources are in the hands of the powerful, and there is still a lot of fish and meat on the table of the powerful, but the common people are counting food to survive.

Seeing Mother's sad expression, Xuehan asked, "Mother, are you unhappy?"

"I'm happy, but I just feel that if your father didn't take the imperial examination, our family would also worry about food."

If they are still in Zhoujia Village, facing climate change, they can do nothing but protect their little home.

Now that his identity has changed, Shuren has influenced the emperor, and with the appearance of fish cakes, he also expressed other ideas, trying his best to save the lives of the people.

Zhangzhou, Changyi set off again, with a family surnamed Wang and a doctor, Changyi will not delay the trip because of a sick child, he wants to go to his daughter's house earlier, instead of being blocked in the town by snow.

Hiring a doctor to follow him was already his greatest kindness.

Thinking of the scene of her escape, Mrs. Zhao paid close attention to the Wang family, and gave the old clothes of the young servant and the girl to the Wang family, and replied, "I never met a kind-hearted person back then."
