Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 259 Drought Outbreak

Back in WA County, I took Anya and Gu Moore to meet Xiaoli and them. They didn’t have a house in WA County, and Ye Yaoguang was not the kind of person who likes to deal with property, so he found a suitable small yard and gave it more. Rented for ten days for a few taels of silver, Wei Lin and Yang Xihe got married on the fifth day of September.

In the next few days, Ye Yaoguang didn't go out, and at most went for a stroll in the county without anything to do, but Wen Tingzhan's letters in the past few days were very frequent, and sometimes he could receive three or four letters a day. He also has a serious face.Ye Yaoguang knew what was going on without asking. In the golden autumn season, many places hadn't seen a drop of rain for a month or two. Drought had already broken out in the north.But Wen Tingzhan didn't mention it, and Ye Yaoguang didn't ask too much.

On this day, Wen Tingzhan finally took the initiative to ask Ye Yaoguang: "Yao Yao, do you know when it will rain in the north?"

"North?" Ye Yaoguang said, "Tell me the specific prefecture."

"Baozhou area."

"Mid-October." When the astrological chaos occurred, she had carefully calculated the rain in the next six months. Baozhou area is the area with the most severe drought, and it will not rain from May to mid-October.

"There is still more than one month." Wen Tingzhan's face changed, "Letter from the emperor, Chenzhou, Yongzhou, Changde, Hengzhou, Yuezhou, Tonggu, Wukai and other prefectures and guards have no rain from May to July. Those who die from hunger are unforgettable. Baozhou has not had rain yet, and people are already eating each other..."

"The imperial court should take some measures." The matter of the drought should be able to be seen from April, but at that time she was deeply involved in the Yao nationality, and she also revealed it in early June. Now it has been three months, and the imperial court should be able to do everything. Done.

"The imperial court distributed grain to the north in July, and started to build a reservoir to store water. However, the drought in Baozhou is too severe. There has never been a precedent for three and a half months without rain. Even if they have grain in their hands, there is no water to cook it. It's also in vain." Wen Tingzhan sighed heavily.

"This is a natural disaster, there is nothing we can do." Ye Yaoguang shook his head, this is not the past life, and there is no possibility of water transfer.

In fact, she has a way to ask for a rain. With the Purple Spirit Orb, the chance of success is very high, but this time there are too many disasters, and she doesn't want to get burned. As a cultivator, it is her mission to subdue demons and eliminate demons. responsibility, but saving the people from natural and man-made disasters is not.

In the next few days, Wen Tingzhan's face was very serious. In fact, Ye Yaoguang cared about him very much. He really wanted to say coldly that he hadn't entered the officialdom yet. These were not his responsibilities. He would help if he could. Can't and don't bother her heart, but in the end she still didn't say it.Sooner or later, Wen Tingzhan will have to face these things. Let him participate earlier. With experience, he may not be able to quickly come up with countermeasures when encountering problems in the future.

Because of the drought, Wei Lin, who is also a scholar, has a heart of worrying about the country and the people. After discussing with the Yang family, the wedding was simplified, and the participants were not invited. Only those who were very close were invited, so they arranged There were about 66 tables, and there were no running seats. Ye Yaoguang and Wen Tingzhan attended as scheduled, and they gave double gifts. After all, they are good friends with the Yang family and the Wei family.

After attending the wedding, Wen Tingzhan couldn't wait to go home, because it was not convenient to deal with many things outside, and Ye Yaoguang naturally did not delay, and they returned to their home on September [-]th.

Ye Yaoguang was busy processing the harvests reported from various places, most of which were properties given to her by Zhong Yaofan. There were thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of acres of land, more than half of which were affected by the disaster, and the harvest was not satisfactory. The trustees don't have to bring food over, and leave it to them after paying taxes.

There are more and more refugees in Yuzhang County, and Taihe Town is getting more and more crowded. Fortunately, Meng Ling has taken good precautions. He has found a lot of people in advance and vacated a large area. A doctor sits at the gate of the county yamen. Anyone can enter the city. First of all, they must ensure that they are not infected with diseases that may cause plague.

The background of the Meng family was immediately revealed. Everything from the doctor to the medicinal materials to the daily gruel comes from the Meng family. Of course, no matter how big the Meng family is, it will be hollowed out, so Meng Ling invited people from all over Lulu County The gentry drank a cup of tea outside and donated [-] deniers of grain in public. Wen Tingzhan also attended on behalf of their family, and very cooperatively donated [-] deniers of grain, and the Yang family joined in to donate [-] deniers. I bought it here in advance and sent it out. Under the coercion of such a situation, those people would have to bleed once. Most of them are still very generous. After all, they know that the disaster is serious. One broke into their rich man's mansion.

This is why Wen Tingzhan suggested that Mengling not restrict refugees from entering Lulu County.

Then Wen Tingzhan suggested that Mengling set up a donation station, so that the donated country gentry Yuanwai would personally distribute disaster relief items on behalf of the entire team, and change one person every five days, according to the order of the donation, so that these people would be actually face-to-face by the refugees Be grateful and remember.

Therefore, during the second fundraising, the gentry and officials from all over the country were very talkative and proactive. Lulu County accommodated 1 refugees in three months, and there was no record of illness or death. Such data will be reported to the imperial court in November. When the reading came out, there was an uproar in the hall, except for Chu Dishi and others who knew the truth, the rest couldn't believe the numbers they heard.

The Holy Majesty immediately praised the Meng family lavishly, and the name Meng Ling was also recorded in the sacred heart at this moment.

"It's finally raining in Baozhou. This time, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry have worked hard." After three months of busy work, Wen Tingzhan finally let go of his tense emotions.

In the past three months, Ye Yaoguang changed his ways to nourish Wen Tingzhan, and he still lost a lot of weight. Ye Yaoguang looked very distressed, and stretched out his hand to pinch his fleshless face: "You have worked hard too. , See how thin you have become? I didn’t plan to go out again a few years ago, and stayed at home carefully, so I won’t believe that I won’t come back.”

"Okay, okay, I listen to you." Wen Tingzhan hurriedly flattered him.

"Why didn't you listen to me earlier?" Ye Yaoguang snorted coldly, "Just a fool, how many things have you done? Not only did we donate [-] deniers of food, but how many secrets did you take away from me? But I didn’t see anyone thanking me, so you’re still happy!”

Wen Tingzhan remained silent, he knew deeply that he had to play dumb at this time, but seeing Ye Yaoguang kept scolding him, he immediately changed the subject with an idea: "Let me tell you something that makes you happy."

"Say!"

"Yunke and his son are dead."
