Chapter 605: Smoke and smoke are everywhere [Second update] (Please subscribe)
"Here, there's not enough food." The bustard was still doing the calculations in the Douqing Building, and then said to Hua Rongyue who was drinking tea, "Rong Niang, it's been so many days... we don't have enough for our own things alone. , do you want to continue serving porridge?"

They have so many people!

The matter of giving porridge has always been done by wealthy families.

On the one hand, I want to accumulate some fame, and on the other hand, I want to sell well, so that the people above will not kill them when they check things.

But Douqinglou is just a brothel, they open their doors to do business, they don’t steal, rob, cheat, or abduct. Before the disaster, it’s pretty good that they didn’t gimmick money, why would they go out to the streets to give out porridge?

Especially the four in spring, summer, autumn and winter, who are usually the first-class cards in the Douqinglou, but now Hua Rongyue insists that they represent the porridge, standing from morning to night, and must be gentle to all the victims , and even sent a doctor to sit for a consultation, what can be done in this way?
"After the lack of food, what do you think will happen in the future?" The women in the inner house in ancient times, even though their homes were relatively open, and their training of women was quite meticulous, but in general, they were better at giving back, rather than some outsiders. thing.

"Follow-up?" The old bustard was the housekeeper of the Hua family in the early years, but she worked as a concierge in the front, and took care of the purchases in the back. If it wasn't because of an accident that she was given the grace to be released, otherwise she would die in the house for the rest of her life.

Now hearing Rong Niang's serious question, she simply put down the brush in her hand and frowned seriously.

"The locust plague caused not only the crops to be cleaned, but also the ground to be polluted. It took a lot of effort to deal with it all." Looking at the still confused face of the old bustard, Lou Ning could only guide and say, "People need to eat to work, and some people's houses can no longer be lived in, even livestock and casualties."

"Although these are all under the control of the head, and have no direct relationship with us, but have you ever thought about it, what if the head can't take care of it?"

For the imperial court, after the disaster, the most important thing to take care of is to focus on the big and let go of the small, first pick up the big ones, and the rest, the life of ordinary people in the market, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, may not have time to take care of it at all.

However, for these ordinary people, these things are fundamental to their livelihood.

If the people above don't care about it, causing food shortages and making life difficult, then there is a high possibility of rebellion in the future.

"This, this is impossible, right?" Listening to Hua Rongyue's description, the old bustard felt that her throat was dry and she couldn't speak a word.She thought that Jingguo has been in peace for so long, and people live and work in peace and contentment, at least they should not lose their money for anything. "General Suiyuan has kept the border defenses tight. We haven't fought a war for almost ten years."

However, under Hua Rongyue's stern and sharp eyes, she was slowly speechless, and could only lower her head cautiously, constantly deducing the development of this matter in her mind.

"Buddhist, think about it too." Lou Ning knows that even if the term "war" is not too far away for the old bustard, he has never seen a real scene after all, so it is inevitable that he will not take this matter too seriously, " After so many years of rest and recuperation, not only will we have changes, but Nanban will also have its own changes."

"In addition to the people's habit of living comfortably, they also spend money lavishly, so when there is a problem, everyone's first reaction is probably not how much food they have left, but they will only focus on what they currently have."

People are like this, eating in the bowl and looking out of the bowl, they will never be satisfied.

"Min change, I guess it's these days." Lou Ning is very clear about the thoughts of these people. We can't live a good life, so you better forget about it. Whether it’s right or wrong, we have an explanation.”

Then she looked at the bustard brightly again, and ordered in a low voice,
"After other people react and start giving out porridge, we can start to retreat slowly."

Having wealth is a good thing, and there is nothing wrong with helping others as much as you can.But if it is exposed for a long time and everyone subconsciously thinks that their Douqinglou is quite rich, that would be bad.

"You, are you trying to give us a protective look?" The old bustard is not stupid, on the contrary, it is just hard to imagine because he has never seen it before.

Now that she understood what Hua Rongyue meant, a rare burst of admiration surged in her heart, then she lowered her head and said respectfully,
"My servant understands. In the next few days, I will let others watch me. I will keep the porridge standing on the chopsticks without pouring it. If I can try my best to steam a few trays of steamed buns, so that everyone can have a full meal."

Seeing that the bustard understood what he meant, Lou Ning nodded,
"Chun Xia Qiu Dong Si Niang and the others' goals are obvious, and everyone can easily recognize them. After the incident, you can reward some more money, or reduce the redemption fee."

After all, they are doing things for the brothel, and Lou Ning thinks that if they give some benefits, even if they don't explain much, these little girls will be willing to help.Otherwise, they looked quite sad all day long, even if they were afraid that they would have a stinky face when serving porridge, then it would be too wronged for the purpose of sending them there in the first place.

"I will go over to talk to the four of them in person. I must let them know the seriousness and make things beautiful." The old bustard knew that both porridge pie and porridge need a good time.Especially since many people have already started to learn their movements.

So if you want to leave without a trace, or make things look good without arousing everyone's disgust, the actions of the four in spring, summer, autumn and winter will become very critical.

"I think you, madam, must have some sources of information." Lou Ning himself has an optical brain to check, but there are never too many things like news, so if you can refer to a few more sources, it will be natural is the best.

"Are you going to see which side will fight first?" The old bustard heard Yin Zhiya, so she nodded cautiously and said, "We really have some observations on this, I will arrange it later and send you a copy .”

There will be big moves after the disaster. This is Lou Ning's habitual judgment. She suddenly thought of Yang Yingyue's unusual enthusiasm for General Suiyuan before, and the fact that the general who returned to the general's mansion before the locust disaster has not come out until now—
This couldn't help but make her suspicious.

But the enlistment that is full of smoke and gunpowder will not make people very happy. Now she only thinks about how to keep the three-acre land of Douqinglou, so that it will not be annexed by other forces.

For the extra part, other people can take care of it however they like.

"Yes." The old bustard saw that Hua Rongyue had clearly arranged everything, so she responded calmly, and then urgently called her subordinates to arrange all kinds of errands.

Now she finally understands that compared to the resolute Fahrenheit, the lady prefers to control her destiny in her own hands, and she absolutely does not accept any room for compromise.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

If you clearly understand what you want, you won't be too ambitious, or you won't be able to cheer up because of a little blow.

"But if there really is a war going to break out, what should our Douqinglou do?"
