Chapter 13 Disaster Relief

Cheng Ying looked helplessly at the person in front of him. After getting along with him for more than a year, he had already known the identity of this person. He was the future Emperor Xue Ye and the current Prince Xue Ye.

Ever since I bought a kerosene lamp from him, Xue Ye often went to him. Half of his great reputation as a great sage came from this prince.

"Brother Cheng, you're fine! You are the great sage of Tiandou City. You will definitely not mind a little offense from the little prince."

Had tea.

The Ice Emperor rubbed his eyes and saw this scene when he came down from upstairs. He yawned and said, "Good morning! The foodie is here again!" As a soul beast, the Ice Emperor had no respect for the prince.

"I didn't come here just to get a meal." He just said this, but the tea was already on his lips.

"Then you should tell me what business you are here for this time. Let's talk about it first. Soap, mirror, glycerin, and spinning wheel. Let's talk about these. I won't sell anyone." Cheng Ying moved a stool and said,

Let the Ice Emperor sit next to him.

"I wanted to buy it, but that's not the case today. I came to see the Great Sage today for disaster relief. This year, a large area north of Jialingguan is experiencing severe drought. After the drought, there was a locust plague, and large areas of farmland were destroyed.

No gain.

I was greatly moved when I heard what Brother Cheng said just now. I know that Brother Cheng must be a man with the world in mind, and this matter of relieving the victims..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop being poor! Don't rush me." Cheng Ying interrupted Xue Ye's complimentary words, flipped through the desk and said: "Everyone is a resource to me, so naturally I can't read it.

They exchange their sons for food, and break their bones for cooking."

Cheng Ying's simple eight words made Xue Ye look solemn. Cheng Ying just used common descriptions of disaster areas in his previous life, but Xue Ye thought that Cheng Ying had truly experienced the most horrific disaster, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to create such a refined work.

And a cruel description.

"But let's make an agreement first. I can help, but the empire has to pay. Relieving the victims is the country's obligation. The most I can do is help the empire make an advance payment.

Take this, here is my plan for the resettlement of people in the disaster area. It also includes methods for planting potatoes, sweet potatoes, and radishes, crops with short maturity cycles. The fastest ones can mature in two and a half months. They are also suitable for floods and droughts.

Very low requirements.

Take the note I signed, go to my warehouse in the city to pay 10 million gold soul coins, and then go to my warehouse outside the city to take away all the potatoes used for making wine this year. Tsk! I originally wanted to use distilled alcohol instead of gasoline.

Now you are all in trouble!"

Cheng Ying looked disgusted and pushed the plan and a piece of paper made of special material in front of Xue Ye. Xue Ye was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Cheng, you...have you predicted that there will be a severe drought this year?" Xue Ye couldn't help but think so. The plan was too complete and could not be drawn up in a day or two. In addition,

Cheng Ying's omnipotent image is really enough to scare people.

"Of course not. The most I can do is look at the clouds and estimate whether it will rain tomorrow. I have no ability to predict the El Niño phenomenon. It's just that your agricultural system is inherently fragile, and disasters are bound to happen sooner or later. You just have to prepare for a rainy day."

"Be prepared for a rainy day..." Xue Ye repeated another idiom that she had never heard before, and it suddenly made sense. Such thought-provoking words often appeared in Cheng Ying's words, which was one of the important reasons why Xue Ye thought he had great wisdom.

"Oh! By the way, when you are doing disaster relief, take the opportunity to visit some of the farmers who manage the plantations outside my city. Your officials may not be able to figure out how to grow my crops.

By the way, I also took away the inventory of my oil-pressing workshop. Didn’t you say there is still a locust plague? Fried locusts are actually very delicious as long as you overcome the psychological barrier. If the victims can’t afford to fry them, tell them that they can just roast them over the fire.

Eat it, but don’t cook it...the taste is simply indescribable..."

"Thank you, Brother Cheng, for your help! I will remember this kindness for the empire! The matter is urgent, and I can't continue to disturb you. For today's matter, I will come to visit you at night to say thank you!" Xue Ye said, bowing to Cheng Ying.

He bowed, picked up the plan and note on the table and left.

He had never actually heard that locusts could be eaten, but since it was Cheng Ying who said it, he would choose to believe it. After all, things more incredible than this have been accomplished countless times before.

After Xue Ye had gone far away, the Ice Emperor said with great enthusiasm: "Why do you care about those people? We are spirit beasts, not humans. The more people there are, the more people will come to hunt us! We might as well all starve to death.

!

And 10 million gold soul coins! How much is that! Even just a note was given out. Now I finally understand why you said before that I would be so excited because of a piece of paper!"

Cheng Ying knew the trick to please the Ice Emperor, so he took out a plate of fresh iced fruit from the artificial refrigerator and pushed it in front of her, and then explained: "If you don't plan for eternity, you can't plan for a moment, although I know you care more about it."

It’s the ten million at the back...

In fact, you have been in the human world for so long, haven't you noticed a problem? The gap between ordinary people and soul masters is actually no smaller than that between us and humans!

What I save are ordinary people without soul power, not soul masters. No matter how miserable a soul master is, it is impossible for him to be troubled by famine. Those starving people all over the ground are actually ordinary people.

And they are easily satisfied. Do you know why I asked the plantation farmers to go to the disaster area together? Because their uniforms have the trademark of our technology printed on them.

They will become desperate angels in blue in disaster areas. Coming from a lower class background, they selflessly distribute relief grains, teach how to grow disaster-prepared crops, and sit on the ground with the victims holding gruel with grains of rice clearly visible.

Use the most simple language to tell the stories I have told them, imagining a harmonious world where farmers have their own land, residents have their own houses, the elderly are provided for, and the children are educated.

This kind of experience will be deeply engraved in their minds and even passed down to future generations. They will not remember that the empire paid them money and food, but will only remember those old farmers with technology printed on their blue work clothes.

Pull them out of the sea of ​​suffering.

And they will become the basis for our future development. When the accumulated strength is sufficient, I will lead them to shout those rebellious slogans today and let the light of science and technology replace the grace of God."

Cheng Ying talked a lot, and Ice Emperor also ate up a plate of fruit: "I don't understand! Anyway, after saving them, will there be more interesting things in the future?"

Cheng Ying thought for a moment about the scene of hot molten steel flowing out of the steel-making furnace, lighting up the entire era in red, and nodded with conviction: "It will definitely happen!"
