There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 144 Donate, enter the city, buy food

"Then... what about Anjifang?" Butler Lin Su thought for a while, and made a suggestion: "Why don't you send a batch of medicinal materials there? There are quite a lot of medicinal materials coming in from the Wu family pharmacy at the foot of the mountain."

In such a big pharmacy, there are not many patients and a lot of medicinal materials.

As for medicinal materials, if they are kept for at most three years, their efficacy will be lost, and the best time to use them is within two years. "Okay, buy a batch of medicinal materials and send them to Anjifang." Wu Youwei said: "Since I have sent them, I will send another ten bare pigs and a quarter of the newly recovered grain to the residents. Courtyard; don’t we have some good wood for building a house? Send it to Louze Garden, and each family will send 100 taels of silver.”

"That's...too much, isn't it?" Butler Lin Su thinks that doing good deeds doesn't have to be so hard, right?

"Not much. I've had a lot of good luck this year. Let me share some out to seek good fortune." Wu Youwei said, "Listen to me."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Butler Lin Su nodded. He also felt that the master is very lucky. Since he came to the house after he was filial piety, the master's luck is very good.

Wu Youwei rubbed his chin to look at the chrysanthemums that were budding and about to bloom under the shade of a tree.

In order to flaunt their benevolent government, the ancient rulers took care of the vagrants and beggars in the society, and introduced corresponding relief policies and specific measures.

The times are different and the measures are different, which can be described as varied, but these methods did give great help to the vagrants and beggars at that time, and helped many of them survive hunger and cold winter.

This kind of behavior did not form a special organization until the Tang Dynasty.

Later, after the perfection of the Northern Song Dynasty, Southern Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty, there was already a very fine differentiation.

Until the Ming Dynasty, this kind of institution had matured. In the first year of Yingzong Tianshun, he issued an edict to set up a nursing home in each county, provide rice for cooking, and provide two meals a day. Utensils, firewood, vegetables, etc. should be managed by the government. Take measures.

The sick call for medical treatment, and the dead are buried in coffins.

In May of the sixth year of Tianshun, the Ministry of Household Affairs was ordered to set up a nursing home in Daxing County and Wanping County in Shuntian Prefecture.

As a result, a certain division and refinement have been formed, and places have names and regulations....

Nursing homes are places for the elderly who live alone;

Foundling houses are the equivalent of modern day orphanages;

Anjifang is a place for free medical treatment and shelter for patients;

The nursing homes take in poor refugees and disaster victims;

Futianyuan is set up by temples all over the country to take in the old, young, poor and sick;

The Louze Garden was founded in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It was established as a burial place, and the marsh and dead bones were taken from it, which does not mean omission.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the imperial court ordered the people to set up a memorial tomb to collect the bones and lonely souls of the four fields.

In the fourth year of Tianshun, Yingzong ordered all prefectures and counties to set up Louze gardens to make people feel safe in the soil.

This is equivalent to a national charity organization. If he wants to donate money and materials, it is naturally the most suitable for these places.

Moreover, they are directly under the imperial court, and there are records of people donating money and materials, and they are also a Qingshui Yamen, which basically eliminates corruption.

Moreover, the ancients were superstitious that they dare not do bad things in places that do good deeds. At least, the officials who manage them are kind-hearted people. If they are not kind-hearted people, they cannot work there for a long time.

That's why Wu Youwei is so generous. When giving things, he should give them to those in need.

Wu Youwei thought that there would be news soon, but five days had passed, and no one had sent any news, nor had anyone come to him.

On the other hand, the people from Wujia Village brought the food to Mo Ling Villa after they collected the food.

This year, because there are big animals, and they eat well, dress well, and work hard, the food is harvested and sent directly to the granary of the new house, and the rent for the master can't be delayed.

So it was delivered on the seventh day of September.

This year's grain harvest is bumper, and more than 300 catties of grain have been harvested per mu of top-grade land. Wu Youwei's rent is three cents per mu, which means more than 100 catties of grain per mu of land. Don't want any extra fractions.

And because Wu Youwei gave a lot of poultry cubs at the beginning of spring, and now that they have grown up, these people plan to give some to the villa.

There are five big geese in your family and ten ducks in his family. If you put them together, it’s a big pile.

Wu Youwei asked Housekeeper Lin Su to keep in mind that whoever gave away half of it will be donated at that time.

The remaining half is raised, or stewed after being slaughtered, and it is good for everyone to have a meal.

When paying the rent, Wu Youwei went to have a look. Everyone greeted him when they saw him, all smiling, without the slightest misery that Wu Youwei thought.

"Okay, everything is good!" Wu Youwei also talked to them, nodding his head.

In my impression, shouldn't I be frowning?Is it even crying?

I remember when I visited the ruins of the old society, I saw such a big bucket...he immediately looked at his own bucket.

It turned out to be a standard official fight, a standard measuring tool.

It was only then that Wu Youwei remembered that Daming had certain regulations on such things, and anyone who dared to violate the regulations would be breaking the law.

Of course, there are also people who secretly make things big. If the officials don’t raise the people and don’t correct them, they will be fine. Once they are found out and sued, the whole family’s property will be confiscated.

The reputation will also be ruined, so most people will not do this.

When people came to pay the rent, housekeeper Lin Su had already prepared flowering white flour steamed buns, big bone soup, and white meat dipped in garlic sauce.

This kind of food is most suitable for farmers. They have worked hard all autumn. Although there is no shortage of oil and water, eating this is definitely enough to fill their stomachs.

Only Wu Youwei was silent when he heard that one mu of land weighed more than 300 catties.

These people planted the land for him all year round, but as a result, he could only harvest about [-] catties per mu of land. If the shriveled particles were removed, it would be [-] catties per mu of land.

A person needs at least [-] catties of grain a month, a family needs at least [-] to [-] catties of grain, and at least two to three thousand catties of grain a year is enough to eat... You have to sell some grain in exchange for firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.. ...

Life is barely enough for food and clothing, and those who are more frugal may have some spare money to save...

But this is the calculation of a family of three or four. At this time, there is no contraceptive measure, and the children are born vigorously. It is impossible for the extra children to watch them starve to death...

Wu Youwei sat in his study and thought about it for a long time. In later generations, he only knew that the peasants would be worried if they could not sell their grain, but the peasants here were hungry because of too little grain.

For the corn of later generations, the yield per mu of a product is thousands of catties, that is called...

corn?

corn!

potato!

tomato!

Now these things have come to Daming, along with the three-treasure eunuch's seven voyages to the West, these are all imported products, but because of their appearance, they are still just ornamental plants.

As soon as Wu Youwei's head became hot, he began to write vigorously.

He also studied agriculture back then, in order to reduce the burden on his parents.

At that time, green food was emphasized, and their family used farmyard manure when they planted the land. Although it was a little dirty and tired, the things they grew could be sold at a high price.

In the Ming Dynasty, corn seems to be called "golden... because it grows golden, and many people plant it in the garden as a rare plant. It has a good relationship, and it is mostly planted by merchants...

Potatoes have become an ornamental flower because of their beautiful blooms.

Because tomatoes are red and booming, they have also become something like "kumquat", but because the brighter the color, the more poisonous the mushroom, so people in this period just watch it and don't eat it...

There are also chili peppers. Before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were no chili peppers. Later, when imported chili peppers first arrived in the Central Plains, they were treated the same as tomatoes, only as ornamental plants.

In ancient times, only pepper and cornus were used to make the "pungent" taste. This "pungent" taste has a slight bitterness left over, so there is the word "hard work".

There are also strawberries that Wu Youwei has never seen before.

Strawberry is a herbaceous fruit native to the Americas, then spread to France, and then to China from Russia in 1915.

So there were no strawberries in ancient times.

But there are in neighboring Russia!

This kind of small fruit can be planted and cultivated in the house all year round. It used to be a common thing to eat some strawberries in winter, but now it has become a luxury...

The more Wu Youwei wrote, the more he felt that his thoughts were flowing like a spring. Before he had finished writing, Xiaoxiao came in: "Master, come out for dinner?"

Me, have I eaten? "It was only then that Wu Youwei realized that his writing hands were a little sore.

"Let's go, today we will eat steamed buns, white meat, big bone soup, and mushrooms in it!" Xiaoxiao only knows that Wu Youwei likes to eat fresh mushrooms.

Especially when making soup, the master can drink a big bowl every time.

"Okay." Wu Youwei threw what he had written into the space when Xiaoxiao turned around and walked out...

It's better not to show these things to others for the time being.

After the rent for the autumn harvest was collected, housekeeper Lin Su arranged for someone to deliver the things. At the same time, Wu Youwei collected one-third of the newly entered grain into his own space.

After Lin Su came back, he found that there was so much food missing, and he was surprised: "Master? Food...."

"I have some uses, and it's nothing without those." Wu Youwei said, "Should all the new food for this year have arrived?"

"arrive.

"Go to the city, let's buy some rice and come back." Wu Youwei said: "There is not much rice at home."

Among the fields in Moling Villa, there are only [-] mu of paddy fields near the river, which are not high-quality fields, but newly developed wasteland. Because Wu Youwei likes to eat rice, he only planted rice.

It's a pity that the output is really... not enough to watch!

Moreover, it is impossible for Wu Youwei to eat by himself and let others watch.

He lets his family eat what he eats, and he doesn't pay much attention to dignity.

"Okay!" Butler Lin Su said happily, "I just wanted to inquire about the abolished empress by the way."

Now that he is at home, there is no news from outside, which is really worrying.

"Don't inquire." Wu Youwei said, "They have nothing to do with us.

Butler Lin Su was stunned: "This...?

"Even the sect is divided, what else does it matter?" Wu Youwei said indifferently: "They are them, me, me."

Although it is said that he came here only after the original owner died, if the original owner is not dead... he can also come here, isn't it the difference between soul wear and body wear?

Even if he lost his body, he could still let Lord Yan get a fetus through.

The original owner is not a condition that he must die to come over!

It was the indifference of the Wu family that caused the original owner to leave this world abruptly at the age of 15. He originally had a good future and was a real gentleman.

A true....honest man with a bright future ahead.

So he didn't care about Wu's house before, and now he doesn't care about Wu's house!

He also looked at Wu's house indifferently, he didn't care about it before, and he doesn't care about it now.

Seeing him getting up from Zhulou, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse!

Lou, collapsed.

Ha ha.

On the second day, they brought ten carts and a group of people entered the capital.

The capital city was already a bit jittery, but it was a wealthy family, the capital was still so prosperous, and there were countless caravans entering and leaving.

Wu Youwei went to the grain store and bought five thousand gold worth of rice. Rice is rice that has not been hulled, and you just need to hull it before eating.

Without shelling, it is easy to preserve grain.

"The small store can deliver it to the house." Five thousand catties is already a lot. The owner of the grain store thinks he is a big customer, so it is also possible to deliver the goods to the door.

"No need, we brought the car here." Wu Youwei said, "And we have other things to do."

The owner of the grain shop didn't continue, but five thousand catties of rice was indeed a lot. Butler Lin Su even asked him for a twist: he gave them fifty catties of Jiangnuomi.

Walking on the street, some people whispered: I heard that the emperor abolished the queen!

After the emperor is dethroned, it is just like ordinary people who divorce their wives. Shocking news!

Wu Youwei frowned, have you heard it in the streets?

The imperial court doesn't care about it?Just let everyone discuss it?
