During the past few days when she was renovating the Li Mansion, she did not forget to take time to explore the terrain in the city. She asked her brother to buy several plots of land in the north of the city as a mysterious businessman to renovate the shelter and greenhouse.
It wasn't that she was being too conceited and wanted to provide unconditional food and lodging to such a large number of refugees.
But her sister Xi was playing a very clever game of chess.
She wanted her family to truly take root in the North and win the support of the people.
As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If you want to win the support of the people, you must first take on the responsibility of protecting them.
Moreover, according to the novel, the next three winters will be extremely cold, and in the summer there will be an outbreak of widespread plague. If she really sits back and lets the disaster break out, the living environment of herself and her family will also be affected.
Yes, after Sheng Nanxi finished renovating the Li Mansion and had a good sleep in the space, she immediately teleported to the newly purchased house and started a new round of floor heating installation.
After entering the pass, the snow continued to fall. Many people's houses were collapsed by the accumulated snow. The firewood and food they had were not enough for a family to survive.
The weather today is unusual, which has resulted in several times more refugees since the beginning of winter. Now the number of refugees in and outside Nanyang County has skyrocketed, and people freezing to death and living in poverty can be seen everywhere.
The magistrate of Nanyang County was a responsible person. Seeing that the climate this winter was abnormal, he organized people to build shelters early, and the government warehouses stored several times more food and cotton clothes than usual.
However, the weather was beyond everyone's expectations. Even though these officials were busy with disaster relief, it was difficult to cope with a natural disaster of this scale.
Fortunately, Sheng Nanxi's first shelter was successfully completed on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
The site was originally a ruined temple in the north of Nanyang County. Although it occupies a large area, it has no spring that can be visited. However, in the farm separated from the ruined temple by a wall, there is a spring with perfect temperature and water flow.
It happened that the political turmoil in Southern Qi had hit the farm owner's many businesses hard, and he was temporarily short of cash. So he agreed to sell the farm to Sheng Han, who was posing as a mysterious businessman, at a lower price. As for the abandoned temple, he only needed to register with the government to buy it.
When Sheng Nanxi arrived, she directly took the wall between the dilapidated temple and the farm into the space, and then used her newly restored supernatural powers to completely transform the fifty acres of farm after the merger.
Many of the original houses in the Taoist temples and farms only needed a little renovation to be used as temporary shelters, and the remaining farmland was directly transformed into greenhouse plantations according to the one-click planning plan generated by Zhaocai.
After all, even if several people worked at the same time, they couldn't be as fast as Sheng Nanxi's ability to move. To transform such a manor, all parts needed to be solved by her.
The little fat girl worked hard for eight days without moving her head. By the time she finished the work, she was so tired that her eyes were black. Gu Cheng, who had been standing by her side, felt so distressed that he began to hate himself for the first time.
I just hate that I didn't awaken some good superpowers to help Xiao Xier at the critical moment, so that she can only waste energy like this without caring about her body every time.
The little boy was so worried that his brows were almost twisted together, but he could do nothing but send someone to inform his third brother to deal with the aftermath, while he quietly took Sheng Nanxi back home to have a good rest.
By the evening, the snow had fallen even more. The Lantern Festival should have been the most lively day, but the entire county was shrouded in an eerie and murderous atmosphere by the extreme cold.
At this time, people in the streets and alleys of Nanyang County were saying that a wealthy businessman in the north of the city had transformed his manor into a temporary shelter to accommodate homeless refugees nearby.
At this time of year, many well-off people were indeed willing to spend money to provide porridge to the people, but very few were willing to use their entire estates to shelter refugees.
At first everyone was skeptical about this, but the aroma of the food distributed in front of the shelter was so strong that it could make people's stomachs growl even from several blocks away.
The streets are full of homeless people who haven't had a full meal for ten days or half a month. How can they resist such temptation?
Even if their hands and feet were frozen stiff, they still had to hold their breath and run towards the place where the fragrance came from.
A group of refugees ran over and were all stunned.
Being able to eat a bowl of warm food in this winter is a blessing from heaven. Who could have expected that this porridge was not only extra thick, but everyone could also get an extra bowl of meat soup and a piece of meat pie.
These refugees are a complex group of people. The people of the country were supposed to be farmers, but the natural disaster made their lives worse.
Seeing that this family was generous, many cunning people thought that they could let them fool the fat sheep. After a few bites of the food in their hands, they sneaked in to get a few more portions.
Unexpectedly, the host seemed to have a cunning heart. Before the people who sneaked in could even laugh, they were directly taken away by the security guards.
Soon a sign was put up in front of the porridge stall, stating that each person was limited to one portion of food per meal. Anyone who disturbed the order and affected others' food would be kicked out and would never be allowed to come back to get food.
In order to make it understandable to illiterate people, a simple little man holding two rice bowls was drawn under the line of words "dragon flying and phoenix dancing". A cross was drawn on the little man with a pen dipped in ink, indicating that the consequences were very serious.
When the board was placed in front of the porridge stall, the number of people trying to sneak through the gate suddenly decreased. The weak and disabled people who were squeezed in the back lined up and received the rare thick porridge and meat cakes.
Many refugees had nowhere to go after eating, so they began to look around. They heard that the houses in the back were newly built shelters by the owners, so they became curious and wanted to go in to find out.
A few strong men with martial arts skills were brave enough to rush in before the others. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the door, they were shocked by the warm wind blowing in their faces and were stunned to the spot. They simply suspected that they were dreaming after eating too much.
After they came to their senses, they still couldn't believe it and repeatedly confirmed with the security guard whether such a nice house was really available for them to live in.
Until the guard nodded impatiently, all the strong men could not believe that the surprise came so suddenly. Many people sat in the house and refused to leave, while others screamed with joy and hurriedly ran to call their family members outside to register at the shelter.
Ordinary people have simple thoughts. As long as they can find a place to live a stable life with their family, that is enough.
Previously, they didn't dare to register at the shelter because they were afraid that this was another trap set by some unscrupulous businessman to deceive the common people. Now that they have confirmed that this shelter not only exists, but the conditions are far beyond imagination, one or two people are overjoyed and rush over.
Of course, there are also a series of rules and regulations in this shelter.
The first rule is that fighting, quarreling and other behaviors that damage group harmony are prohibited. All order in the prison must be arranged by the owner.
In addition, all displaced, poor and homeless people can stay in the shelter for three days. After three days, they can support themselves by working.
In addition to the elderly, children, the disabled and the disabled who can receive free assistance from the shelter, the rest of the light-footed and able-bodied can find suitable jobs on the farm.
Each errand can be converted into food or money according to the working hours, and those who work on the farm can live in a house with floor heating for a long time. Working hard and diligently can also be rewarded with extra money or food.
In addition to some heavy work suitable only for men, there are also many jobs suitable for women, such as embroidery, washing clothes, cooking, and sewing cotton clothes.
The main point is that once you enter your sister Xi's territory, you have to listen to your sister Xi's orders.
You can support the elderly, the young, the sick, the disabled and those who cannot take care of themselves, but it is impossible to support someone who just wants to eat for free!
