Chapter 29 Natural Disasters and War (1/2)



From the perspective of an elder, Village Chief Wang expressed his concerns.

Qian Chunhua pretended to listen attentively.

Village Chief Wang was satisfied with Qian Chunhua's attitude and continued, "But, on this pipeline, even the post stations can't handle the business, so how can the tea shop make money?"

Village chief Wang thought Qian Chunhua was making trouble.

Qian Chunhua understood that the village chief was worried that he would have to pay the money.

Qian Chunhua smiled and replied: "Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Village Chief. I will think about it again. To open a tea shop, do I need to go through any procedures in the village or county?"

Village Chief Wang shook his head blankly. He didn't know either, so he just answered casually, "No need."

Village Chief Wang's idea was simple: he could earn a few cents from the tea shop and handle the formalities. He had the final say on Huanglingling's affairs.

After receiving the approval from Village Chief Wang, Qian Chunhua felt relieved.

It was just that the previous sentence, that the imperial court could not pay out the military pay, made Qian Chunhua ask another question, "Uncle Wang, the imperial court can't even pay out the military pay now, right?"

Isn't it that there is no one or not enough people to do the work for the court? Wouldn't it be a mess?

Qian Chunhua's heart sank. The Min Dynasty, a dynasty that did not exist in history, did not seem to be stable.

Village Chief Wang looked unhappy and said cryptically, "Ganzhou Prefecture was hit by a locust plague this autumn and all the crops were lost. Yongning Prefecture has not had any rain since the summer. If it continues to rain like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to plant in the spring."

Village chief Wang stopped talking here and looked at the sky worriedly.

Qian Chunhua knew that Nanzhou County belonged to Yongning Prefecture. No wonder he saw the bottom of the small river in the back mountain exposed yesterday.

Ganzhou Prefecture is adjacent to Yongning Prefecture. If the grain harvest there fails, the grain price in Yongning Prefecture, which is just across the prefecture, will definitely rise sharply.

The original body never asked about things outside the village, so Qian Chunhua had to ask more, "Besides Yongning Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture, what about other prefectures?"

Village Chief Wang looked even more uneasy. "In other states, there are wars and bandits everywhere. Your Yongcai is..."

Having said that, Village Chief Wang shut his mouth. He had accidentally touched Qian Chunhua's sadness.

Qian Chunhua was not very happy because she was not the original person.

Qian Chunhua was worried that the Min Dynasty he traveled through was not a very powerful dynasty, and it would be difficult for him to settle down and work here.

Qian Chunhua had a worried look on his face. His current body had very poor fighting power.

Village chief Wang's family thought Qian Chunhua was so sad because Zhao Yongcai was divorced, so they kept silent. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.

Qian Chunhua also stood up and said goodbye.

On the way to the Qian family, Qian Chunhua felt that he had been celebrating too early yesterday.

This time when I traveled through time, I actually encountered a natural disaster. Although it was not a disaster, there was still war.

It seems that I need to make plans early and prepare for the future for this family.

Qian Chunhua was full of fighting spirit again. With this space full of supplies, he was several times better off than other villagers in Huanglingling. The sense of happiness was created by comparison.

After visiting the village chief's house, there were still clan leader Zhao's family that hadn't been thanked. During last night's event, clan leader Zhao had taken a fair stance.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao clan leader, Cao, was feeding chickens in the courtyard. When she saw Qian Chunhua, she shouted into the house, "Chunhua is here."

Qian Chunhua: "What's Aunt Cao busy with?"

Cao smiled and replied, "Feed the chickens."

Qian Chunhua: "Second uncle, are you from my hometown?"

Cao: "Yes, it's in the room, just go in."
