Picking up a fool to farm

Chapter 59

Yan Chenyi signed the drafted contract with Cao Yi, and Cao Yi stamped his private seal quite formally, and the cooperation was considered finalized.

In fact, Cao Yi also knew what Yan Chenyi was planning. He told himself that he was just giving his younger brother some sweetness because Yan Chenyi had taken care of him for so long.

This morning, Yan Chenyi had just woken up after a sleepless night, when he saw Ning sneaking open the door and coming in, and when he saw that he was awake, he immediately came over and whispered mysteriously: "I saw Qing just now."

"If you see it, you will see it, what's the matter?" When Cao Yi took out the blueprint that he asked Qing to take back that day, Yan Chenyi had already realized that Qing might have gone and returned, but it made no difference to him.

In his heart, his Sibo is so good, there must be many people like him, so don't worry about it, he is not so narrow-minded.

"Why aren't you curious at all?" Ning didn't know about the drawings, so he felt that Yan Chenyi's reaction was too calm, "It passed in a blink of an eye, I think the master must know about his return."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Wiping his face to wake himself up, Yan Chenyi couldn't help raising his eyebrows to look at him, "That's all?"

"No, I'm planning to borrow some money." Ning pouted and stretched out his hand to pour tea for him, "Borrow 50 taels."

"50 taels?" Yan Chenyi was surprised this time, 50 taels is enough for ordinary people's expenses for a few years, and he remembered that when Ning and Guang came here, they said that they had the most money, so why did they borrow it from him?

"what are you going to do?"

Ning raised his hand and scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "In the past two days, many refugees have come from outside the city one after another. Didn't you notice that there are many beggars in the city?"

"How can there be refugees in this peaceful world?" Frowning, Yan Chenyi turned his face to look at him, "You tell the truth, what's going on?"

"I'm telling you, don't tell the master." Ning sighed, pulled his sleeves and sat down at the table, looked around cautiously, "Two villages in Lin County were hit by a disaster, I heard it was a plague. "

Blinking, he turned his head suddenly, "Are you kidding me?! Doesn't Cao Yi know about this kind of thing?"

"The emperor probably left Beijing because of this. Haven't you seen that our backyard is very lively at night?" Curling his lips, Ning poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip, "The emperor is probably leaving soon."

Shaking his head, Yan Chenyi looked at him, "You can't control this matter, and if those refugees really came from the village where the plague happened, then you can't let them enter the city."

Ning sighed, "The emperor has issued an order to the county magistrate, asking him to immediately gather the refugees outside the city and resettle them. I just want to buy some clothes for them because of how pitiful those children are. It's been raining these few nights , it's so cold."

"Go and call Cao Yi." Tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "Let Guang also come."

Ning blinked and didn't understand what he was going to do, but he obediently went out to call someone.

……

"What do you mean?" Cao Yi raised his eyebrows looking at the two banknotes on the table, "Donate money?"

"I'm not that generous," Yan Chenyi handed the banknote to Guang, "It will be useful after you put it away."

Guang didn't ask, and reached out to take the bank note, "Is there anything else?"

"Well, in the past two days, let Master Liu and the others make more pancakes and steamed buns, and let Xiao Wuzi take out the pickled radishes and cucumbers in the cellar, and send them to the refugees outside the city once a day." Yan Chenyi raised his chin. , which means that after he finished speaking, Guang can go out.

Guang glanced at Cao Yi, who was expressionless, and then at him, nodded and went out with the bank note.

"Tsk, I thought you had to donate some money." Cao Yi snorted coldly, but he was quite satisfied with what Yan Chenyi did just now, "What do you want to tell me?"

"You know that Sibo won't leave with you, so you should do what you should do, and don't waste your time here."

"Are you driving me away?" Cao Yi widened his eyes.

"I just don't want Sibo to stay uncomfortable." Yan Chenyi also turned cold, and now he understands why Cao Yi would rather pester Sibo than go to Lin County to sit in town. It's not that he is afraid of death, but He can't solve it.

"Oh, you're not stupid." Cao Yi sneered and stood up, "My younger brother is more capable than me, and those corrupt officials are more afraid of him."

"Isn't it a plague?" Yan Chenyi frowned, he didn't understand these twists and turns in the officialdom, "Can you explain to me clearly what's going on."

"If it's a plague, even if the local officials don't understand and know that no one can be released, that would be a serious crime." Stretching his waist, Cao Yi chuckled when he tilted his head in confusion, "Only People leave home when people are in dire straits.”

"The one who was forced to leave..."

"Well, Lin County is not as big as Huayang County, but it is much richer than here." Shrugging, Cao Yi sighed, "Xiao Jun is ruthless, he doesn't have to think so much."

Yan Chenyi smacked his lips, and suddenly laughed: "I don't believe you have no arrangements, well, I'm done talking, don't even try to take him away."

"He doesn't want to go with me now." Cao Yi was also quite helpless, "In fact, he has already remembered it, right?"

Yan Chenyi blinked and shrugged, "He has never changed with me, but I think he hasn't recovered."

Cao Yi raised his lower eyebrow, turned and went out.

Sibo was just outside the door, and when he saw him coming out, he asked him with a smile: "Are you leaving?"

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Cao Yi glared at him, "It's okay if you don't want to go back with me, but you should know who you are."

"I've already solved the most difficult problem for you. It's just a few corrupt officials. You still want me to solve it for you. Are all the young talents in your court living on nothing?" They are much straighter than before, and instantly taller, "Don't disturb my life with Chenchen, you told me that you didn't want me to participate in those intrigues."

Cao Yi opened his mouth, but did not refute.

In the end, he just sighed, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Okay, I see."

Sibo raised his eyebrows, opened the door and entered the room.

Cao Yi stood outside the door for a while, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Let's go."

The four guards stood aside and lowered their heads at the same time when they heard his words, "Yes."

……

What was the final treatment in Lin County? Yan Chenyi didn't pay attention, but sent food to the refugee gathering point outside the city for more than ten days, and then he found that there were fewer and fewer refugees, which meant that Cao Yi used The fastest speed solved the problem in Lin County.

Ning held Yan Chenyi's newly made custard pudding in his hand, took a bite out of it with a small spoon and brought it to his mouth. After chewing, he smacked his lips, "Xiao Yan, you knew from the very beginning that Lin County is not a plague?"

"I don't know, what Cao Yi said." Yan Chenyi shook his head and put down the meat skewers in his hand, "We can still sell barbecue for more than half a month. hot pot."

"Hotpot?" A group of people looked up at him with doubts in their eyes.

"Well, I have asked the owner of the blacksmith shop to do it according to the drawing I drew, and you will know when the pot is brought back." Yan Chenyi sniffed and turned his face to look at Sibo, and asked him, "The ground Finished collecting?"

In the past few days, Sibo and Yi have been collecting crops with Uncle Li in the field, and they are quite tanned.

"Well, I went to the processing workshop to grind flour. Uncle Li Chenchen said that many people in the village will sell grain this year when the harvest is good. I asked you if you want to accept it."

"Come on," Yan Chenyi nodded, "After a while, we will sell dumplings and hot pot, and other dishes will be taken out for takeaway. Come winter, we have to make something special."

Sibo rolled his eyes, leaned over and asked him in a low voice, "How much money have we saved?"

"Not much, what do you want to do?"

"Enlarge the villa we live in so that we can live in it next year. I see that you are not comfortable living in the restaurant every day."

"It's because you don't want to live here, right? Let's talk about it later when the restaurant is not so busy. It's up to you to make it whatever you want." Anyway, the land he was allotted was large and belonged to a family on the edge. It doesn't matter if you expand it a bit.

"Xiao Yan, your second brother is here again." Guang walked in quickly from the outside, pouted, "I seem to be in a hurry."

Yan Chenyi blinked, and saw that the man coming in from the door was not his cheap second brother, he stood up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Why don't people come over to say something before second brother comes, so that younger brother can get ready."

"Xiaoxu, isn't the second brother here to trouble you again?"

"Don't say that, the family has nothing to worry about." Yan Chenyi glanced at him, saw that his face was not very good, and he forced to keep smiling, and asked: "Second brother is in trouble?"

"This..." The second brother opened his mouth. There were too many people in the lobby, so he was too embarrassed to speak.

Yan Chenyi smiled, led him to the room in the backyard, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Xiaoxu, do you know that something happened to our family?" After taking a sip of tea, the second brother sighed, "A while ago, the old housekeeper at home came to me and asked me to help out some money, saying that it was from the big brother's stall. I need some money to settle the matter, and since I don’t have any money, I rejected him.” As he spoke, he raised his eyes to peek at Yan Chenyi’s face, and seeing his earnest expression with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he couldn’t help but said: “Second brother It was because of no other way that I thought of you, the old butler didn't come to look for you?"

Yan Chenyi shook his head and only looked at him with a smile. He could tell that the old housekeeper didn't send someone to ask him for money, and he was probably sent back by Sibo and the others.

"Second brother has also seen what it looks like here. There are more than ten people waiting for my wages. Don't look at me opening a restaurant. The business is very prosperous. In fact, I can only make money inside and out. When we separated Who gets more and who gets less, even if father is partial, he should be clear, the old housekeeper can't come to me to borrow money." Looking up and seeing that the second brother's expression was a little uncomfortable, he continued: "A few days ago, there was a disaster in Lin County. Brother Er also heard about it, my younger brother took a lot of money to donate, and now I can’t make ends meet.”

The second brother said in his heart that I didn't open my mouth to ask you to borrow money, so he blocked me back. How can I say this again?

Yan Chenyi took a sip of tea from the teacup, and sneered in his heart.

It's true that Zhong Wuyan has nothing to do, Xia Yingchun has nothing to do, and all kinds of bad things come to him, how capable is he?
