Chapter 425 Why is it such a coincidence
Zhang Zhouhua listened to Bai Youyou's words, his expression confused and shocked. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped in shock, this?
When Bai Youyou saw his expression, he stopped and asked, "Don't you understand?"
"Yes, yes." Zhang Zhouhua nodded hurriedly, as if he didn't understand but felt very powerful.
He was full of questions.
What is electricity?
What's a battery?
What is a player?
What's a tape?
Does the trumpet refer to morning glory?
Bai You commented, patted Zhang Zhouhua's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "There are a lot of profound things here. You haven't learned them at all, so it's normal that you don't understand them."
He said to himself, it's okay if you don't understand. We in Taohua Village have learned a lot of culture and knowledge. If you understand everything like this, then you are a genius.
After hearing this, Zhang Zhouhua smiled sheepishly and said, "Zhang is ignorant and ignorant."
With a look of expectation on his face, he thought Bai Youyou would explain it in detail, even if he just picked a few to talk about. Unexpectedly, Bai Youyou stopped talking about this matter.
Zhang Zhouhua opened his mouth several times to ask, but he didn't know where to start, so he gave up in frustration.
Peach Blossom Village is really amazing!
If Zhang Zhouhua hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it no matter what others said.
Bai deliberately told Zhang Zhouhua about high-yielding grain varieties, and said with emotion: "Our aunt is here, she is the most kind-hearted, she is a little old lady who can't bear to see the people suffer."
"But You County has nothing to do with our Taohua Village, and we can't control it too much."
As he spoke, Bai Youyou also detailed the treatment of the residents of Junji Town, which made Zhang Zhouhua's eyes warm.
Taxes are collected everywhere, but Junji Town really takes them from the people and uses them for the people.
Roads will be repaired, hospitals, charity halls and schools will be set up, and there will also be support policies for poor people at home.
Like borrowing money to run a small business, the weak interest is just like borrowing money in vain.
Bai Youyi: "We have contract farming. Farmers sign contracts with us to plant or breed what we specify. When it is harvested, we will take it back."
"In this way, ordinary people will not have to worry about sales. With income, their lives will naturally be better."
As he spoke, Bai deliberately picked up a watermelon and explained with a smile: "Have you seen this watermelon? This is a large green-skinned melon produced in Junji Town. It weighs more than twenty or thirty kilograms. One can earn at least Twenty or thirty cents.”
Zhang Zhouhua was surprised: "Can you earn so much?"
Even though twenty or thirty pennies were not much money, he knew that this big green melon was one of the high-yielding crops. As Bai Youyi said just now, it was an economic crop.
Since the yield is high, there will definitely be a lot of money per acre, one for twenty or thirty cents, one hundred, one thousand...
Bai Youyi nodded and said: "But now only people in Junji Town can grow this green melon, not anywhere else."
"Of course, there are many more like this. You are not from our Junji Town, so it's useless to talk to you."
Even so, Ke Bai deliberately revealed some information from time to time when Zhang Zhouhua inquired.
Zhang Zhouhua was even more excited after hearing this. It would be great if You County was under the management of Taohua Village like Junji Town.
Thinking of Qi Guo's attitude and the current miserable situation in You County, Zhang Zhouhua was angry and helpless.
Although Taohua Village is powerful, there is no reason for them to quarrel over You County and Qi Guo. After all, there is nothing worthy of Taohua Village’s fancy in You County.
Lu Xiaohao's side.
News of the locust plague rushed slowly, and finally reached Lu Xiaohao's hands.
"Master, there is a locust plague in Ancheng and You County. It has been for several days."
When Yang Song reported the news to Lu Xiaohao, the group was already halfway there. Lu Xiaohao was surprised: "When did it happen?"
Locust plague is an extremely troublesome matter.
According to past historical records, a locust plague occurred in a place
Then no one within a radius of hundreds of miles, or even a thousand miles, can escape.
There have been several records of locust plagues in the history of the Jin Dynasty. The largest one displaced hundreds of thousands of people, and countless people died of starvation due to the locust plague.
Lu Xiaohao was surprised, but his expression became serious: "Is the news true?"
In fact, his question was a bit redundant. The news must have been confirmed before it was sent to him.
Yang Song didn't speak, but nodded solemnly.
Lu Xiaohao suppressed the sadness in his heart when he heard this: "How is the situation?"
Yang Song: "Master, here is the news. This time the locusts are coming in a ferocious manner. I am afraid they will sweep into many places..."
Although there is currently a locust plague in Ancheng and You County, this thing, like the epidemic, will spread very quickly, even faster than the spread of the epidemic.
The destructive power of locusts is extremely shocking. Even if they haven't seen it, they can still imagine what kind of damage the locusts will cause.
"Could it be that God is going to destroy our Lu family?" Lu Xiaohao's heart sank, but the next second, he suddenly said excitedly: "There is still hope, there is still hope. We have high-yielding grains, as long as..."
He couldn't go on talking about the rest. Even if high-yielding grain seeds were planted across the country, it would still take a long time to harvest.
If a person does not have food, he will starve to death in a short time.
Of course Yang Song also thought of it. His face was dark and his hands were clenched tightly. He had tasted the feeling of being hungry, and he knew what it felt like to starve to death.
Lu Xiaohao quickly cheered up and said in a deep voice: "Call the grain dealers to buy as much grain as you can. We must make sure that the people affected by the locust plague have rice to eat..."
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaohao suddenly paused because he remembered that the largest grain merchant now seems to be the Baijiabao Caravan.
The Baijiapu Caravan is not only the largest grain merchant, but also a medicine merchant. Or should I say, in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the Baijiapu Caravan says that it is the second, and no one dares to claim the first.
In terms of transportation, the speed of the escort agency under Baijiabao Caravan is also unmatched.
When a disaster occurs, what is most lacking is time and what is most needed is time.
"You just said, where did the locusts start to appear?"
Yang Song: "Back to my master, it's Ancheng and Youxian."
Lu Xiaohao froze. He seemed to have said in his previous letter that he would give You County and Ancheng to Taohua Village, right? !
Seeing his master stunned, Yang Song also thought about the problem. He said uncertainly: "Master, tell me, do the people in Taohua Village think you are..." On purpose?
Although Yang Song didn't say the next words, how could Lu Xiaohao not know it.
Lu Xiaohao immediately said: "Get the pen and ink quickly."
He needs to send a letter to Taohua Village to explain.
If Taohua Village thinks that he is doing it on purpose, then the purchase of food may encounter obstacles, and even if the supplies are purchased, they cannot be transported to the disaster-stricken areas in time.
While Lu Xiaohao was writing quickly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why is this such a coincidence?"
