Chapter 388 388,Food Crisis

Author: Qingqing Muyan

"Second Madam, this is Qiaoxin's deed of sale, and it has been registered with the government office."

Maidong respectfully handed a contract to Xia Ning. When he bought Yang Qiaoxin, he had to rush out of the city and did not have time to go through the relevant procedures.

After that, he was delayed because of other things. It was not until recently that there was no work in the village and his master asked him to go to the town to inquire about the news, and then he took care of the matter.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Xia Ning took the contract and put it into her carry-on bag. In fact, it was put into the space of the porcelain basin. No matter how well it was hidden outside, it would not be safer in the space of the porcelain basin.

"It's all what a young person should do." Maidong's attitude became more and more humble. In his heart, Miss Xia was his mistress and the wife of his master. He should be as loyal and respectful to her as he was to his master.

Even if people in the village call her 'Teacher Xia', 'Ms.

"Go and wash up quickly. It's time to have dinner soon." Xia Ning confessed, and in the afternoon he drove to the town with Hu Zi and his two companions to inquire about the news. It was not easy to run around outside in such a cold weather.

After dinner, everyone in the Song family did not rush to get down from the table, but continued to sit steadily in their seats, wanting to hear the news that Maidong had come back from today.

Everything in Baiyun Village is good, but it is too remote. It is the farthest village from Pingsha Town among the surrounding villages. Therefore, if no one takes the initiative to go out of the village to inquire, they are really isolated from the rest of the world and are not exposed to everything outside.

Everything that happened was unknown.

As a last resort, they decided to go out and inquire about the outside world every once in a while to avoid not knowing about any major events. This would be very disadvantageous for them because they would lose the opportunity and preparation time.

"Mai Dong, is there something big happening outside?" Song Shiyao, sitting in the upper seat, was the first to ask.

Hearing this, Maidong's expression suddenly darkened, "General, I'm afraid things are going to be bad outside."

"How do you say this? What happened?"

Song Shiyao frowned. He was just asking a question as usual, but he didn't expect that there was actually a situation.

"." Everyone present sat upright in an instant, looking solemnly waiting for the next step.

Maidong told the truth, "After entering the town today, I found that many shops on the street were closed, and the ones that were closed were basically shops selling grain and oil, and some small restaurants were also closed.

The last few times I went to the town, I saw a lot of small vendors on the streets, but today they were nowhere to be seen. The whole town was deserted, so I specifically asked the nearby shops.

It is said that there was a heavy snowstorm in Shaanzhou for half a month, which caused a serious shortage of food and medicinal materials in the entire city. As a result, all the food here was bought by the rich households in Shaanzhou.

There was not much food in Cangshan Town, and it ran out all of a sudden, so the food shops in the town had to close. In addition, I also heard that there was also a serious food shortage in Shuzhou due to drought.

.”

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my god~ Why is it so serious?"

"A heavy snowstorm for the second half of the month? Wouldn't the situation of the common people be very bad?"

"What about the situation in other counties and towns in our city? Has the food been sold out?"

"Hey, this world is really going through ups and downs~"

"Shuzhou has been experiencing drought for more than half a year, and there hasn't been any movement from above?"

"What do those dog officials do for food? Do they just watch the people die miserably?"

Song Shiyao raised his hand and said, "Okay, calm down first. What's the use of getting angry here? We might as well discuss what we should do next."

Song Shaoqin said slowly, "I guess there is already a food crisis outside. Even now, there are more and more refugees on the road. There were many refugees fleeing to Ningzhou and the capital before. And the more refugees on the road, the easier it is to breed.

question.

I think Ningzhou may not open its city gates to receive those refugees at all, so if my guess is correct, the refugees who fled later may transfer to Nanzhou. After all, compared to other prefectures, Nanzhou is poorer and more remote.

, there is no fatal problem.”

"Oh! Don't tell me that this is really possible." Song Muyao slapped his thigh fiercely.

Song Anbang also followed the analysis, "My second brother is right, Shaanzhou is right next to our Nanzhou. If we really run out of food, the people will definitely flee here, and the weather is so bad, how can ordinary people survive?"

?I think the situation is going to be very bad."

Whenever there is any natural or man-made disaster, the people who suffer the most and are the most pitiful are the people.

The conditions in Shaanzhou are only better than those in Nanzhou. In the past few months, there were incidents of plague and banditry, and now we have encountered a rare blizzard. I am afraid that life will be difficult for many people, right?

Immediately to the south of Nanzhou is Guanzhou, which is undergoing a rebellion. To the south of Guanzhou is Ningzhou, which is rich in products, and beyond that is Shuzhou, which is suffering from drought.

According to the route, the first choice for refugees in Shaanzhou must be Nanzhou City. People in Guanzhou who want to avoid the war can either go south to Ningzhou or south to Nanzhou.

As for the refugees from Shuzhou, it is also possible to come directly to Nanman. In short, if the problems in other cities are not solved or alleviated, then in the New Year, the entire Nanman land may welcome refugees from major cities.

.

"." Hearing this, the female relatives couldn't help but sigh, especially feeling worried for the people who were affected by the disaster.

The rich and well-connected families may be able to survive, but how can ordinary or even poor people support themselves?

There has been a heavy snowstorm in Shaanzhou for the second half of the month. They have only received the news now, and they don’t know how many people have died because of it?!

"Then should we also stock up on some food?"

Xu Wanqing suddenly said, she is now in charge of the kitchen. The Song family is not short of food now, because Xiao Ning is here, their daily food is pretty good.

But now that something happened, she felt a little uneasy. She didn't know the situation in Xiao Ning's hometown, and she wasn't sure whether she could continue to provide food and other supplies.

Now that food has begun to run out outside, she is worried that they will also have no food to eat in the future. After all, Xiao Ning's support is different from the food shortage in real life, so she has to make more plans, just in case.

Song Shiyao said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you won't be able to buy food now if you want to."
