Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

“If it weren’t for those people collecting grain at high prices, our life here would definitely be better.”

Hearing this, An Jiuyue narrowed her cold eyes.

"Are there also unscrupulous businessmen collecting grain at high prices here?"

"That's right, those people are really evil." The soldier leader slapped the table hatefully.

What else could it be if they weren't black-hearted? They couldn't even drink water, and there were still people who wanted to enrich the country. This was because the emperor had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable, so he wanted to cause some trouble. ah.

"Yesterday I heard that some people went to the outskirts of the city to collect grain. I heard that they received a lot of grain. I just don't know where they hid the grain they received."

If he knew where the food was hidden, he would definitely...

Forget it, he couldn't do it. No one would rob the black-hearted merchant's food without an order from the Lord. Even if the Lord gave the order, he, the leader of the soldiers guarding the city gate, couldn't do the job.

What's more, if those people dare to blatantly collect grain at high prices, there must be someone behind them.

Even their adults dare not provoke people, so how dare they, the big soldiers, to provoke them? It’s not like they are risking their own lives.

"The suburbs of the city."

An Jiuyue stroked her chin with one hand, with a little interest in her eyes.

Isn't that just right? It's just the right time to go and see which bastard dares to eat human blood steamed buns at this moment.

"You are from the North. When do you think this drought will end?"

Skipping the previous topic, she asked the soldier leader. She looked up at the clear sky without a single white cloud. She estimated that the rain would not fall for the time being.

"Who can know this?"

The soldier leader smiled and shook his head. It would be great if some of them knew.

It's a pity that this severe drought is the kind of thing that just says it or leaves it, but refuses to leave no matter what. What can they do? This is all I can do.

Every time the situation in the North improved somewhat, the food harvest was somewhat bumper, and the people had some money in their pockets, a severe drought would occur, catching everyone off guard.

In a few days, people in the city who don't have enough water will have to pay high prices to buy water.

Only when the money is spent can it be considered a real waste. One tael of silver can buy a lot of water, but it is not enough for everyone in the family to drink a sip.

When that time comes, it will be even more difficult.

"I guess there won't be any rain this year."

"Is there still water in the wells in the city?" An Jiuyue asked again.

"There is still water in the wells, but those wells will also be controlled by the government during severe droughts. Otherwise, the water in the wells will be drained out quickly, and you will really die of thirst. .”

the soldier leader replied.

There is no way to control the well water, otherwise everyone will rob the well water all at once, and those who have no water will die of thirst.

"You saw it just now, right? At this time every day, the government will beat the gong to remind everyone to fetch water. Households with a small population will get one bucket of water a day, and households with a large population will have about two to three buckets of water a day.

As for those really wealthy families, they have wells at home, and the water in their homes is comfortable to use, and they can also contribute some to the common people.

But, it won’t be too much. After all, during a severe drought, the water in the well will be less. It is incomparable with when there is a lot of rain. "
