Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

The reason why Song Shiwei ordered so many water buckets was because of the upcoming flood and rainy season.

Rainwater is never clean enough. While the extreme cold is still a while away, we can store more drinking water. If there is extra, we can freeze a batch of ice cubes to prevent the summer heat. It is inconvenient to buy ice in the north and it is expensive. Even though Song Shiwei has taken a lot of Cao Chong's property, he doesn't want to be a sucker.

After ordering the bucket, Zhang Wu drove away. When he passed by a dim sum shop, he bought dozens of dim sum, which amazed others.

Feng Ru was also stunned by the mountains of snacks in the carriage: "Brother Zhang Wu bought so much, can we finish it?"

Zhang Wu tilted his head and smiled, "Why can't you finish it? Keep the big part at home for you and the master to eat, and the rest must be sent to your sister-in-law's house."

Feng Ru blinked, her eyes sparkling, "It's Sister Huang Ying."

"Yes, it's her. She loves to eat osmanthus cake just like Ru'er."

Feng Ru smiled brightly: "Osmanthus cake is delicious, but it's a pity that Sister Song doesn't like it."

Song Shiwei glanced at the two of them and said, "Eat less sweet things."

Feng Ru turned her back to Song Shiwei and stuck out her tongue at Zhang Wu.

As the carriage had just left the city, Zhang Wu slammed on the brakes.

Song Shiwei in the car quickly grabbed Feng Ru who was about to rush out and shouted outside the car: "What's going on?"

"Master, you see, that man is the doorman of Zhou Mansion," Zhang Wu lifted the curtain of the car.

Song Shiwei raised his eyes and saw a man talking to someone on the side of the road. Because he was facing the carriage, several people recognized that he was the doorman of Zhou Mansion who had bullied Feng Ru.

"I heard from Brother Li that he had already kicked this man out of the Zhou family."

The doorman of the Zhou Mansion was kicked out of the mansion. People who paid close attention to the Zhou family soon learned about it and sent many people to test the situation in a short period of time. This would make it possible that the person who was trying to expound on the doorman was a servant of the Chen family.

Song Shiwei looked at the doorman coldly. When he heard this man talking about why he was kicked out and still looked indignant, without any intention of admitting his mistake or regretting, he immediately asked Zhang Wu to drive the carriage to a remote place, and then took Feng Ru to the station to stop.

"Bring people here."

Zhang Wu looked at Feng Ru who was confused and responded in a deep voice, "Okay."

In just a few minutes, Zhang Wu carried the man over like he was carrying some miscellaneous items.

"Who are you? What are you going to do? I'm warning you, I'm from the Zhou family. If you dare to touch me, be careful that the Zhou family will come after you."

A sneer interrupted the man's speech.

Song Shiwei stood up straight and walked slowly to the gatehouse: "A member of the Zhou family? Are you sure you are still a servant of the Zhou family?"

"It's you," the doorman's eyes suddenly widened when he saw Song Shiwei. When he looked at the little girl standing behind Song Shiwei, his heart skipped a beat and there was only one thought in his mind.

It’s over.

Song Shiwei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he turned around and left, saying expressionlessly as he walked away: "Zhang Wu, let him kneel in the snow for two cups of tea first."

When he brought Feng Ru back, Zhang Wu said that the girl's knees were bruised, which was caused by kneeling in the snow, but the injuries on her back and knees were definitely caused by falling.

Looking at the little girl's fear of the doorman before, it's no wonder that the doorman is also responsible.

Although the crime is not punishable by death, some lessons should be learned.

When he walked to Feng Ru's side, Song Shi turned his head slightly to look at her: "Watch out here and don't let yourself be bullied easily in the future."

After saying that, Song Shiwei no longer looked at her, walked straight into the carriage, took out a book of notes and looked through it.

Feng Ru stared at Song Shiwei's back with a dull look.

In the wind and snow, that touch of yellow actually warms my heart.

Zhang Wu walked with his tall body behind the little girl and wrapped his cloak around her to protect her from the wind and snow.

The two, one big and one small, ignored the doorman's pleas. Even though they collapsed to the ground from the cold, Zhang Wu could not bear it.

When the time set by Song Shiwei arrived, Zhang Wu picked up the little girl and put her directly into the carriage. Then he drove away in the carriage, and the horse's hooves splashed flying snow that fell all over the gatekeeper.

After arriving home, Zhang Wu walked into the main hall carrying a pile of wood. While adding firewood to the brazier, he said, "Master, when I was punishing that man before, I noticed someone approaching."

Song Shiwei's eyes did not move away from the acrobatics, and he said softly: "I know, don't pay attention to it."

It goes without saying that they were people sent by aristocratic families. Just seeing them means seeing them. It's a good opportunity to let those people know that not everyone can be provoked. Even if they are from the former Zhou family, they will be punished.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wu stopped talking, added firewood and went to cook.

Although the Zhou family's doorman was driven out by the master, he was once a servant of the Zhou family. He was bullied for no reason. Some people went to the Zhou family to inform the news. Li An soon learned about this matter. After asking in detail, he was sure that it was Song Shiwei who did it. Therefore, he just waved his hand to tell people not to pay attention to it, and turned around to tell Zhou Huai about it.

At that time, Zhou Huai was meeting Xie An, Shen Yan and Shen Qianxue in the main hall.

Shen Qianxue had not changed at all since the first time they met, but Xie An and Shen Yan were no longer the reckless young men riding horses. However, after just ten days of training in the military camp, they had become mature and steady, which changed Zhou Huai's impression of them.

As soon as they finished talking, Li An ran in excitedly. After coming in, he saw Shen Qianxue and others were still there. His smile disappeared instantly, and he looked serious and pursed his lips.

Zhou Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and then asked in a cold voice: "What's the matter?"

Li An looked at Shen Qianxue and the others, then quickly walked to Zhou Huai's side, leaned over and whispered in his ear about Song Shiwei's punishment of the doorman.

A smile was visibly forming on Zhou Huai's face, especially his usually sharp eyes, which were now filled with smiles.

Shen Qianxue and the other two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

After Li An finished speaking, he saw that the young master was not angry. He bowed and clasped his fists towards the people in the hall, then quickly left.

After Li An left, Shen Yan looked at Zhou Huai with a smile: "Brother Zhou, do you have any interesting stories? Why not tell us so that we can have fun together."

Zhou Huai smiled faintly and shook his head: "Nothing interesting, just some news from a friend. By the way, if we gather people to repair and reinforce the dam upstream that you just mentioned, will it be useful?"

Shen Qianxue shook her head: "It's useless. It has been raining for months. No matter how much we reinforce it, it will be useless. Besides, it is freezing cold now. The river in the city is frozen. How can we reinforce it?"

"Brother Zhou, my idea is that since we can't prevent disasters artificially, we can evacuate the people in advance."

Listening to Xie An's words, Zhou Huai frowned: "Evacuating the people without reason will easily cause panic, and this kind of thing is difficult to explain, so let's think about it again."

Shen Yan, who was sitting below Zhou Huai, had his eyes brightened: "Otherwise, we can just make up some rumors and say that the disaster from heaven is a warning, and then ask the government to evacuate the people. I think they won't resist too much."

"This proposal is feasible, but we need to discuss it further. You have worked hard all the way here. Take a good rest today and we will discuss it tomorrow."

The three of them agreed immediately.

Song Shiwei, who was reading miscellaneous notes at home, had no idea that Shen Qianxue and others had come to the capital city. At this moment, he was reading the miscellaneous notes with great interest.
