Chapter 031 Natural and Man-made Disasters

You know, in this era, food is the life of the people.Seeing that there are many ears of wheat this year, the harvest must be good, and it will be a bumper year.

Everyone was very happy, but at the end of the day, such a rain came, ruining all expectations.

If there are a lot of fields, except for the wheat that germinated in the rain, [-]% of the tax is paid, and the remaining grain is a little tighter. After calculation, it can still barely receive the rice harvest in the second half of the year.

But for those who have little land in their families, it will be even more difficult for those who live in this way. In order to survive, they have to sell their sons and daughters, and their wives and children are separated.

Isn't this God not giving you a way out?

For a while, all the families were frowning and sighing.

Although Zhuo Yan's family had no land and was not affected, both Aunt Wang and Zhuo Yan had solemn expressions on their faces, and even the atmosphere in the family was a little heavy.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu also ran up and down these days, bringing back the situation outside.

And Su Mo also slowly realized that these two people were probably Zhuo Yan's people in the first place.Deliberately letting Xiao Wu approach him is also to put him under his nose and look at him.

Su Mo was not disgusted with Zhuo Yan's approach. After all, his identity was a problem, and he couldn't admit it. Instead of covering it up, it's better for them to find out early, which is good for everyone.

I just don't know, what does it mean that Zhuo Yan no longer conceals his relationship with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu?

Did he let go of his guard against him, or did he further test him?

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu came to report the situation outside to Zhuo Yan, "There are 23 villages affected by the disaster in Zhishan County this time, and about [-]% of the wheat has been affected by the rain and cannot be used."

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu just came back from the outside, covered in sweat, Aunt Wang hurriedly brought herbal tea for several people, then retreated quietly, but did not go far, sitting on a stool in the yard making clothes.

This distance will not hear the conversation in the house, but if the two masters need anything, she can hear it as long as they say hello.

Zhuo Yan asked, "Did the county magistrate not report it to the court?"

Generally, when such things happen, the county magistrate will report them to the court, and then the court will come forward to solve them, whether it is tax reduction or other things.

Xiao Liu poured the tea down his throat in one breath, wiped his sweat, and shook his head, "After the accident, the magistrate immediately reported the situation to the imperial court, but..."

Having said that, Xiao Liu subconsciously glanced at Su Mo.

If you meet someone else, or change to someone who is winking, you will very consciously find an excuse to avoid it.But Young Master Su is the least able to read people's faces, or he sees it and directly ignores it.

Sitting there carelessly as usual, as if he didn't see Xiao Liu's hint, this made Xiao Liu get stuck, saying no, no saying no.

Zhuo Yan glanced at Su Mo, "And then?"

Xiao Liu's eyes flickered slightly, given the general's usual cautious temperament, he didn't shy away from Su Xiaolang so much, what did he mean?

The thoughts in my mind turned slightly, and the words turned around when they came to my lips, "It's just that I don't have the energy to take care of these things right now."

Xiao Liu's words were vague, but Zhuo Yan knew what he was referring to, thinking of the mess in the capital also gave him a headache.

At this time, one or two of them are either busy protecting themselves wisely or fighting for power, and those people still have to find ways to stabilize the situation in Beijing, and I am afraid that they will be at a loss.

Zhuo Yan frowned deeply, and was helpless in the face of this situation.

Su Mo sat on the sidelines with a cup of tea in his hand, thought for a while, and finally made a decision.

Putting down the teacup, coughing lightly, and attracting everyone's attention, he said slowly, "Actually, to solve this matter, it's either difficult or not, and it's not difficult at all."

Xiao Liu twitched the corners of his mouth, even the general couldn't help such a big matter, what could he, a young master who didn't know the suffering of the people, do?

Zhuo Yan, on the other hand, looked at Su Mo and said, "What's your opinion, let me hear it!"

Even though he said so, Zhuo Yan also did not believe that Su Mo had the ability to solve this problem.

"I mean..." Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief, maybe he said it, but the scruples in his heart were not so serious, he hooked his lips and smiled a little flamboyantly, "Young master can solve this matter, Can turn waste into treasure, do you believe it or not?"

Su Mo has a bright face, and now such a smile is even more confusing. Zhuo Yan's eyes flashed, and his heart skipped a beat.However, what he is more concerned about now is the disaster in Zhishan County, and he really doesn't have the energy to think about it.

Although none of the three people present had any confidence in Su Mo's method, they never thought that he would say such absurd words.

After all, no one can predict natural disasters and man-made disasters, and they are also powerless to change them. After they happen, they can only rely on the relief of the court.

For thousands of years, it has been like this. The only difference is whether the emperor of the dynasty cares about the people and determines the strength of the disaster relief.But that's all. Whether he can survive or not depends on God's will.

But I have never heard of it, which can turn waste wheat into treasure!Isn't that ridiculous?

Xiaoliu was already dissatisfied with Su Mo's existence, and now he is even more impolite, "Master Su, even if you don't know the sufferings of the people, please don't talk about it. The sprouted wheat is inedible and cannot be preserved. , this is common sense."

The implication is that Su Mo is just a person who doesn't even know common sense, so what right does he have to speak nonsense here!

Su Mo sneered, stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Liu, and raised his chin slightly, "You can't, that can only mean that you have a problem with your ability, but it doesn't mean that I, the young master, can't."

"..." Xiao Liu choked so hard that his heart ached.

Xiao Wu didn't think as much as Xiao Liu, he just had pure doubts, "Su Xiaolang, do you really have a solution?"

Facing Xiaowu Su Mo, his tone eased, and he talked eloquently, "Sprouted wheat is indeed worthless."

As soon as Xiao Liu heard this, didn't he just play tricks on them?

"then you……"

Su Mo said angrily, "Can you let me finish my sentence?"

Then, regardless of Xiao Liu's expression, he continued, "But I have a way to make a kind of sauce with these germinated wheat, and the sauce can be sold for money, so I don't need to say more about it! "

The solution Su Mo came up with is actually very simple. Germinated wheat is not edible, but it can be made into other things, such as maltose or sweet noodle sauce.

The production of the former requires a large amount of glutinous rice or corn, which increases the cost.

The latter is much simpler. Sweet noodle sauce is also called wheat sauce. The main ingredients are germinated wheat and salt. The process is not difficult, and anyone can make it as long as they are careful.

To the three people present, Su Mo's words were as if the sky was dark, unbelievable.

But Zhuo Yan couldn't help feeling hopeful when he saw Su Mo's words had something to say.

"Su Xiaolang, don't lie to us! I've never heard that this germinated wheat can be made into sauce." Xiao Wu doubted.

"This is the method of my hometown, and you Daqi people naturally don't know it." Su Mo glanced at him.

"Really?" Seeing that he spoke seriously, Xiao Wu was still dubious.

However, considering that Su Xiaolang has always claimed that he is from overseas, they didn't believe it at first. From this point of view, maybe what he said is true, and maybe there is a way.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts. They were all born in farming families, so they naturally understood the importance of food to the common people.If the waste that can only be discarded can be used, it is really a great thing, it will be a great achievement for the country and the people!

Su Mo kept asking one question over and over again, and Su Mo lost his patience a long time ago, and immediately rolled his eyes, "I lied to you to do something, and there is no benefit to be gained. If you believe me, if you don't believe me, I am not willing to say Woolen cloth!"

Seeing Su strangely angry, Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "No, that's not what I mean, it's just..."

What exactly did he mean, he couldn't express it, and was scratching his head in anxiety when he was dragged away by Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu could clearly see that no matter what Su Xiaolang said was true or not, they couldn't interfere.Knowing the next words, it is not suitable for them to be present.
