After summer harvest, there are summer seeds.
Because Xiang Nan donated five big horses in the clan, the villagers saved a lot of manpower in pulling manure, pulling water, plowing and raking the land, which made everyone very grateful to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan also reminded Bai Jiaxuan to teach the members of the Yu clan not to let a single grain flow out of the plain.
Because the grain is sold now, next year, when there is a drought, even if we spend ten times more money, we will not be able to buy back the sold grain.
But the folks still have to pay public grain and taxes after all. If they can’t sell the grain, they have no money to do these things.
Xiang Nan realized everyone's difficulties, so he specially opened a grain station in Yuanshang to buy grain at a price 20% higher than the market price.
In a short time, not only the villagers of Bailu Village, but also the villagers and grain merchants in a radius of tens of miles transported the grain to Bailu Village and sold it to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan also bought nearly 2,000 shi of grain, all of which were stored in the ancestor temple.
He also ordered people to plant trees around the temple, and piled up huge stones and vines.
Such a strange approach also puzzled the villagers.
"What is the little fairy doing, summer is not the season to plant trees~"
"Trees are planted as small trees, but he planted them as thick as the mouth of a bowl~"
"It's good to plant trees for shade, but why put those stones?"
The villagers talked a lot, and they all felt incredible.
But Lu San, Zhang Ziqing, Tian Xiaoe and others could all tell that Xiang Nan was posing around the temple.
There is such a tree outside the Zhongnanshan villa. It looks small, but it looks like a ecstasy array when you enter it. If you are not familiar with the road, whether you are going in or going out, it will be very difficult.
"Hei Wa, why did you do this?" Lu San asked curiously, "Surround the temple, so no one will come to burn incense?"
"Da, no one will come to burn incense next year." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
From the beginning of spring next year, there will be a severe drought for two consecutive years, with no rain, thousands of miles of bare land, dry rivers and wells, and no harvest. At that time, it will be too late for the common people to flee the famine, and who will come here to burn incense.
At that time, only the hungry victims will come here.
The food he saved was only enough for Bailu Village to eat, and he couldn't get any more food out.
Those victims could not get any food, so driven by hunger, they would directly loot it. It is not uncommon for big households to eat up big households in a catastrophic year.
In the drama version of "White Deer Plain", Guo Juren is a big family eaten by the disaster victims. Relying on his martial arts skills, he resisted the victims, but was beaten to death by the victims.
Hungry and impatient, people are no different from wild animals, they will not have any reason, so Xiang Nan has to guard against them. Otherwise, his grain depot would not be a life-saving magic weapon, but a suicide poison.
…
While Xiang Nan was preparing for the grain depot, Lu Zilin's plan to harm Bai Xiaowen was also in progress.
He inquired and learned that Bai Xiaowen was greedy for sex. After marrying his wife, he demanded so much that his little face turned pale.
Forcing Bai Zhao to guard his door at night, whenever he heard any movement in the house, he began to knock on the window, reminding Bai Xiaowen to pay attention to himself.
So Lu Zilin prescribes the right medicine and finds a little widow to hook up with Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen has been married for several years, and he has long been tired of his yellow-faced woman. When he was seduced by that handsome little widow, he immediately seemed to lose his soul.
In order to correct the unhealthy tendencies in Yuanshang, many whips and boards were broken, and even fed Bai Shitoer, Bai Xinger and others to eat rice.
Under such a severe punishment, he did not dare to make mistakes, lest he would be beaten in public, which would hurt and embarrass him, so he persisted.
However, under Lu Zilin's instigation, the little widow refused to let him go easily, and would hang around in front of him every now and then, smoothing his hair, rolling up his sleeves, and straightening his clothes, which made his heart flutter, and he was in torment every day. middle.
Finally, after the autumn harvest, because Bailu Village had a bumper harvest of food again, the opera troupe was specially invited to sing again.
When the villagers were all crowded in front of the stage to sing, the little widow grabbed Bai Xiaowen and threatened him to keep quiet, or she would say that he was playing hooligans in the dark, and then took him to the grove outside the village.
Bai Xiaowen was excited and nervous, excited and scared, and finally, under the initiative of the little widow, he completed the first cheating.
…
Time flies, and two months have passed in a blink of an eye.
After the autumn harvest, Xiang Nan continued to purchase and store grain.
He has saved two thousand shi of grain, but it is still not enough to eat, so he wants to save more.
During this period of time, things about Bai Xiaowen and the little widow were gradually spread out.
It turned out that after the first time, Bai Xiaowen fell in love with this feeling of breaking through taboos, so he ran to the little widow's house every now and then.
And over time, there is no impenetrable wall.
What's more, Lu Zilin set him up for this incident. Even if others didn't see it, Lu Zilin would deliberately publicize it.
Sure enough, one night, after eating, Bai Xiaowen excused the housework of the sixth family, so he went to help make peace, but ended up sneaking into the little widow's house when he went out.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Jiaxuan blocked the little widow's kang.
Looking at the good son whom I had worked hard to teach, gave him high hopes, and planned to let him take over the position of patriarch in the future, but now he is so self-willed and depraved, Bai Jiaxuan didn't come up in one breath, and fell directly to the ground.
Thanks to Lord Lame, who watched the night and found out in time, he called someone to carry him home. Otherwise, Bai Jiaxuan would have been **** off on the spot.
"It's okay, it's just that I'm out of breath." After being invited, Xiang Nan took a look at Bai Jiaxuan's condition, and then said to Wu Xiancao and Bai Zhao.
"Then save him quickly." Wu Xiancao said hastily.
"Hei Wa, save you Jiaxuan Bo." Bai Zhao also said, "Grandma is all up to you."
"Don't worry." As Xiang Nan said, he injected Bai Jiaxuan with a needle to clear the blood. After a while, Bai Jiaxuan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body calmed down.
Xiang Nan then prescribed a prescription for invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation and handed it to Wu Xiancao, asking her to take the medicine for Bai Jiaxuan.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, you have to be open to everything you encounter." Xiang Nan then said to the sober Bai Jiaxuan, "Everything can happen to you in your life.
But don’t be afraid when you encounter troubles. When you encounter a hurdle, you will pass it. If you encounter a pit, you will pass it. If you are tired, rest. "
When I was young, failing an exam felt like the sky was falling. But in fact, after the passage of time, such trivial matters are hardly worth mentioning.
The same is true of many things in life. At that time, it looked as if the sky had collapsed, but after the incident passed, it was discovered that there was nothing at all.
So the most important thing is to let go of your heart and take things lightly. There is no flaming mountain in the world that you can't get past.
Bai Jiaxuan opened his eyes. Although he was awake, he didn't say a word.
Xiang Nan knew that he hadn't thought about it yet, so he stopped talking.
