See you in the world

Chapter 601
Going south, Yunjing originally planned to return directly to Niujiao Town, but stopped for a while while passing over Xinlin County.

Looking at the pictures of the county and its surroundings below, he felt a little depressed, and there was no smile on his face.

The severe drought in the whole world has affected the whole world, and Xinlin County is no exception.

Half of the shops in the county town have closed their doors, and it is extremely desolate and deserted. There are more than ten times more beggars on the streets than before, and the sound of begging is everywhere. Behind some corner houses, beggars in ragged clothes look numb.

Now the hottest business in the county is not brothels, casinos, restaurants, teahouses, or grain and oil shops, but water sellers on the streets. They use ox carts or horse-drawn carts to transport clean water from afar. It was sold out, and I couldn't even smell a little water vapor when I went late.

Water is not expensive, but it is in great demand under drought conditions. People who do not drink water for at most two or three days will die of thirst.

In addition, refugees from all directions gathered towards the county one after another, dragging their families and bringing their mouths with them, just to run for a way to survive.

Many simple huts have been built around the county to accommodate the victims, and the imperial court's disaster relief and porridge are already in progress, barely allowing the victims to survive temporarily.

After all, Xinlin County is located in the south, and it is much better than the bitterly cold place in Yangfeng County. Therefore, the situation here is better than Yangfeng County, but it is not much better. As long as the weather is not good and it rains, it will evolve into Yangfeng County The situation where thousands of disaster victims gather is a matter of time.

Looking back from the county seat and looking in all directions, Yunjing could see that most of the rivers had completely dried up, including the river he used to lead out the groundwater source.

It does not rain, and the water in the underground river is not inexhaustible.

The only good news is that the crops in the fields are not without crops. Some fields near the river have been irrigated with water during the critical period of crop growth, and they still have some harvests.

But overall, food production is estimated to be only half of previous years, or perhaps a little less.

Even if a family has a harvest, this kind of grain output can barely support a family's life, but don't forget, there is a tax!
I just don't know if the dynasty will introduce a series of tax reduction and exemption policies under the drought. If it is still the same as in previous years, people will not be able to live at all.

This is just this year, if it doesn't rain in the coming year, no matter how hard you try, the harvest in the field may be zero or even zero!
Thinking of this, Yunjing's mood became even more depressed.

After staying for a short time, Yun Jing thought for a while and flew towards the Liuye Sword Sect. Now that he is back, it is still necessary to say hello to Lin Xingyu. Unfortunately, Yun Jing did not see her in the sect.

After doing some research in secret, Yunjing learned that Lin Xingyu led a team to participate in some kind of martial arts conference in Wangjiang County. This time, the martial arts conference in Wangjiang County, large and small, were all invited. Liu Yejian Pie is no exception.

The reason why there is such a grand meeting is because the current drought is severe and banditry is rife. It is time for people in the rivers and lakes to fight the strong and help the weak to fight for justice.

Such a martial arts conference was to a certain extent organized spontaneously by the sects of the Jianghu sects, and was also ordered by the government. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the people of the Jianghu to gather in the dynasty and not intervene.

People in the Jianghu, I like this tune the most. It is a rare opportunity to become famous, and it is also an opportunity to expand my influence.

Knowing this, Yunjing doesn't intend to get involved. In a county, the most powerful person probably doesn't have any true artistic conception. Lin Xingyu has a sense of proportion. As long as she is not aggressive and keeps a low profile, it won't be a big problem.

In Lin Xingyu's boudoir, he left a letter saying that he had returned, and Yunjing flew to Niujiao Town.

The situation here is much better. Although the market is still extremely depressed, there are very few refugees and beggars. After all, this is the place where Yunjing lives. Under his secret care, the food in the surrounding fields has been guaranteed to a certain extent. This kind of situation makes people feel more at ease, but in time, the output in the field seems to be less than [-]% to [-]% of the normal year. Compared with other places, this is already considered a bumper harvest.

Of course, there is another reason. This is the Liangyuan Township bestowed by the emperor, and it is also the fiefdom of the eldest princess. People do not have to pay taxes. Under various preconditions, the situation here is much better than other places.

But it's only temporary. The climate doesn't return to normal. As time goes by, it will be a matter of time before this place becomes like other places.

Bai Zhi was not in the small courtyard in the suburbs, Yunjing knew that she had gone to the lotus pond hut in the mountains to cultivate quietly.

Not looking for her for a while, Yun Jing first found Song Yan in the town, sent him to meet her in the suburbs through voice transmission, and then returned to the small courtyard outside the town without a sound.

During Song Yan's arrival, Yunjing brushed his ink and picked up a pen, spread out the paper to write a name card, and Song Yan hurried over after the writing was almost finished.

"The young master is back," Song Yan said in a surprised tone immediately after arriving, as if he had found the backbone all at once.

Nodding, Yun Jing looked at him and asked, "Is everything okay during my absence?"

"It's all good, but young master, you know the current situation, our cake shop has been closed two months ago," Song Yan thought for a while.

Yunjing expressed his understanding of this, under the drought, many people have difficulty eating, so how can they have spare money to eat such a luxury as cakes.

Then Song Yan said: "By the way, young master, the grain you ordered to be transported from the capital has been handed over and stored in batches."

"No mistake, right?" Yun Jingjing asked casually after nodding.

Song Yan put away his smile and said: "Although there was nothing wrong, it was not smooth sailing, especially the last batch of grain was almost seized by the government when passing through the state capital. In desperation, I had to move out of the princess mansion on my own initiative. Only the name can be released..."

After finishing speaking, Song Yan looked at Yunjing with some trepidation. After all, he was just a servant, and it was audacious to dare to name the Princess Mansion, especially on the premise of making his own decisions.

The food was almost confiscated by the government. Given the current situation, it is normal. Food is needed everywhere. How can the government watch Yunjing's food slip away?

Regarding this, Yun Jing said calmly: "I know about this matter, you have done a good job, I will not blame you, as for the Princess Mansion, I will just turn around and say hello, nothing will happen."

"Well, the younger one has no choice but to cause trouble to the young master, the younger one will die," Song Yan said with a sigh of relief.

Then Yunjing stopped worrying about these small things, but handed the written name card to Song Yan and said: "This is my name card, Xiao Song, take it, and then go to the county to find the county in my name." Order, tell him that we are willing to provide food relief to the victims, you must do this matter without delay, if you want to come to the county magistrate, not only will you not refuse, but it will be too late to be happy."

The reason for this arrangement is Yunjing's long-standing idea, otherwise he would not have prepared so much food in advance, but his ability alone is limited, so he can only take care of one county as much as possible, and there is nothing he can do for more places.

Judging from the food he has hoarded, it is still possible to keep hundreds of thousands of disaster victims alive for a year or so. Besides, the number of disaster victims in Xinlin County has not yet reached the level of hundreds of thousands, which is nothing more than a few thousand. Of course, There will definitely be more in the future.

This time, Yun Jing made it very clear in the famous post that he provided food relief. Although he provided food, it was not in his own name, but in the name of the government.

There are a lot of things involved in this and you have to be careful, otherwise you will only make trouble for yourself.

For example, under a disaster situation, disaster relief is a matter for the government of the dynasty. What do you want to do in your own name?Gather people's hearts?If such a big hat is buckled down, although the possibility of this is unlikely, but in case, in case it happens, Yun Jing still can't bear it with his own status and energy.

So it can only be in the name of the government, even if he has provided food.

What Yunjing wants is to help the victims. As for his reputation, he doesn't care, even if he picks himself up clean, it doesn't matter. Are you saying he is selfless?Of course not, it could even be said to be selfish, because he tried not to make trouble for himself.

Song Yan took the famous post and said: "Good young master, I will definitely handle this matter well."

Only then did Song Yan understand Yunjing's real intention of hoarding food since last year. He really had a long-term vision. If it was a sudden idea, where would he find so much food?

However, this was beyond Song Yan's expectations. He was terrified before, thinking that his young master was hoarding so much food to cause trouble, um, for example, a uprising or something. After all, there is food and no one is afraid?And his young master is very capable, maybe he can't sit in that position, he has already made up his mind that no matter what the young master wants to do, he will do it, his feelings are because he thinks too much.

Knowing the purpose of Yunjing's food, Song Yan heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little bit disappointed...

Without knowing how to read minds, Yun Jing naturally didn't know what was going on in Song Yan's mind, but now he said seriously: "We must pay attention to the method and method of helping the victims, we don't just give the food to the government and it's over, otherwise we will only It’s thankless and even cheap for some people, then I said, you just follow suit.”

"Speak, young master, I'll listen," Song Yan said seriously.

Yun Jing continued: "After you go to the county, make it clear to the officials that we will provide food relief to the victims in the name of the government, but how to do it is up to us, the food will not fall into the hands of the government, and we will give it to the victims. We do it to give the government a reputation. This is to prevent some people from filling their own pockets. This kind of thing has to be prevented. Such a request will definitely cause some officials to be dissatisfied, but they can’t say anything. After all, we are helping the government to pay for nothing. , I will only hold my nose and admit it, and don’t worry about planting and framing because I can’t get any benefits. They have to weigh one or two on my master’s side. If someone else does something because they can’t get any benefits, I don’t mind. Carrying out the name of the Princess Mansion..."

Speaking of which, Yunjing paused and continued: "In addition, we seem to have a lot of food, but it cannot withstand the long-term consumption of the flooded victims, so it should be calculated according to the number of victims. Remember not to waste it. A grain of rice at a critical moment It can save lives, and then we still mainly give out porridge, clear soup with little water, mixed with some grain bran and other things are fine, as long as it can fill the stomach and not starve to death, don't feel cruel, you must know to help the victims It's not a matter of a day or two, it's not the young master, I don't want to part with the food, I'm really afraid that there won't be enough food in the future."

"Secondly, we can't do everything in helping the victims. We have to pretend to be picking food out of the gaps between our teeth, and we will not be able to continue at any time. Remember, we are only supporting, and the government is the main force of disaster relief."

"And then we can't just contribute. While helping the victims, we must also find ways to mobilize other big families. One person's ability is limited. Only when many people participate can we help more people for a long time, and more people participate. We won't be obtrusive anymore."

"Finally, in terms of manpower, there are more victims, and when we are short of manpower, we can elect some representatives from the victims to maintain the continuity. I don't need to mention this to you too much."

"Another point is that it's not a problem just to give food to the victims. They leave their homes and have nothing to do. They will only cause trouble when they are idle, so we need to find something for them to divert their energy. I will talk about this point. Not much to say, the dynasty already has a specific charter, you can discuss it with the government when the time comes."

"Well, that's about it, can you hear me clearly?"

He said so much in detail, Song Yan still didn't understand why, so he nodded immediately: "Don't worry, master, I understand everything, I promise to handle it properly for you."

"I'm still very relieved when you do things, go ahead, I'll leave this matter to you," Yun Jingjing nodded and smiled.

After Song Yan left, Yun Jingxin said that he could only contribute as much as he could, and there was only such a large area that he could take care of, and there was nothing more he could do.

In the final analysis, we still need to solve the problem of the curse, otherwise God knows when the drought will last, and no matter how much we do, it will be just a drop in the bucket. If this problem is not solved and the drought continues, what will happen next?
But when he thought that the entire human civilization was cursed, Yunjing felt a deep sense of powerlessness. What could he do with the things that the bigwigs in the 'Frontline' could not handle?
Yun Jing firmly believes that there will always be a solution, but he just doesn't know how to do it for a while. After all, there is a saying that there is no unparalleled road, no matter what, there is a glimmer of life, and there can be no absolute things in the world!

After making arrangements at Song Yan's side, Yunjing stayed in the small courtyard for a while, and then went back to his home in Xiaoxi Village. After being away for so long, the family members must be worried, and reassuring the family members is the most basic filial piety for children.

Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was the autumn harvest season.

Compared with other places, Xiaoxi Village has Yunjing's secret care, and the grain production here has not been greatly affected. The only impact is that the weather is too hot during the grain growing season, which makes the plant growth not so ideal.

Generally speaking, the grain production in Xiaoxi Village should be [-]% to [-]% of previous years, slightly better than expected, but even so, the villagers did not have many smiles on their faces.

In previous years, there were bumper harvests, but this year's production has decreased. This is more uncomfortable than cutting their flesh.

After all, he is a countryman, has hardly traveled far, has little experience, and has few sources of information. If the villagers of Xiaoxi Village can learn about the situation in the severely disaster-stricken area, they will probably not feel dissatisfied with this year's production.

When Yunjing returned to the village, every household was busy harvesting grain, as in previous years, they were afraid that a strong wind or heavy rain would cause the grain to fail.

The human-powered threshers in the fields were humming under the tramples of the villagers. It was the sound of harvesting, and it sounded wonderful.

When Yunjing came back safely, his family felt relieved. However, before Yunjing could enjoy the warmth of returning home, he was urged by his family to go to the fields to collect grain and work as a 'coolie'.

He is the 'powerful man' in the family, one is worth ten... um, one hundred... Anyway, one can stand up to many. If you don't work, you want to exhaust your parents to death?

In Yunshan's words, what's wrong with the scholar, the scholar is not my cub?Do scholars not have to eat?Hurry up and go to work for Lao Tzu, so that the food can be reassuring.

No matter what is going on outside, Yunjing feels warm and simple at home. He likes this kind of life very much. No matter how beautiful the outside is, it can't match the smile on his parents' faces.

During the autumn harvest season, the school will have a special holiday for a period of time. This holiday is for the students to go into the fields to experience the hard work of the farmers. It can be regarded as the homework assigned by the school teacher to the students. Who knows if a student really goes to the ground.

This kind of holiday arrangement is the school in Niujiao Town, which is the same everywhere, including schools like the Four University Palaces. Learning is not building a building in the air. You have to experience it yourself to truly understand what is written between the lines.

Yunjing came here in the same way when he was in school, not only for the autumn harvest, but also for the busy spring farming.

The other students wondered if they would really go to the fields during such a holiday. Anyway, Yunjing's younger siblings couldn't escape, so they came back to the village to help harvest the crops.

After all, Yun Xi is a girl, and she helps with light things, such as handing rice and so on. As for Yun Dong, the heavy work falls on him. At his age, according to his father Yun Shan, Lao Tzu When you are your age, you can do any job at home, so be serious.

Under the scorching sun, Yundong was sweating profusely. His bare skin was covered with shallow traces of rice leaf cutting. There were fluff on the straw, which was very thorny. Small bumps swelled up on many places on his body, but this guy didn’t complain of suffering or tiredness. , because his brother Yun Jing is also busy.

Yun Dong glanced at Yun Jing with envious and speechless eyes, they were both born to a mother, why is there such a big difference, the elder brother didn’t have a drop of sweat on his body, his skin was as white as a woman’s, while he was tanned up...

After working for half a day, taking advantage of the break, at the edge of the field, under a willow tree that was dying under the scorching sun, Yun Dong sat down next to Yun Jing enjoying the cool air, and looked at his family not far away, with a look of anticipation and apprehension. He asked Yun Jing in a low voice: "Brother, do you still remember what you promised me?"

Yun Jing held a bamboo cup in his hand, which contained the juice boiled from the pear tree in the yard of his home, with honey added. He put some ice cubes in it, and it was a veritable iced honey pear water.

Take a sip to cool your heart, not to mention how comfortable it is, Yunjing heard the words, handed the cup in his hand to Yundong and said, "Have a drink?"

Yun Dong uncovered it without hesitation, just took a big gulp, let out a sigh of relief, not to mention how comfortable it is, and secretly thought that our elder brother would enjoy it.

Well, in fact, Yunjing's family is drinking such iced drinks, how could he only care about enjoying himself?

I promised you a lot of things, boy, which one are you referring to?

Muttering in his heart, Yun Jingting nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

Forget about him, let's talk about it first. As for what's going on, my little brother will definitely say it by himself.

Yun Dong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to say: "Brother, when will you arrange it for me? I have been waiting for many years."

The little brother didn't play his cards according to the routine. I don't know what you are referring to right now.

But no matter what you promise Yundong, there are prerequisites here at Yunjing, Yunjing said with a straight face: "Arrangement can be arranged at any time, but have you ever done what you promised me?"

"Of course, I won the fame of Tongsheng a few months ago. Brother, you have hardly seen a single person this year. If you didn't come, I will tell you that you, a brother, don't care about such a big thing. Our family has set up running water mats for two days, let me tell you, brother, I was admitted to the top ten in the county," Yun Dong said in a showy tone without saying a word.

Yun Jing curled his lips and said, "Look, you're so proud of yourself, you're just in the top ten, your brother and I were the first in the exam, did I show off?"

Isn't that showing off?Yun Dong was speechless, subconsciously said: "Which time is the first?"

"Tongsheng, juren, are all number one," Yun Jingyun said lightly.

When you co-authored with the scholar, you didn’t mention a word, Yun Dong rolled his eyes and said: “Brother, don’t interrupt, does what you promised me still count? We don’t want to renege on our debts.”

This is what I said, what else can you do to me if I renege on your brother.

Muttering in his heart, Yun Jing remembered it. It seemed that he had promised Yun Dong that once he was admitted as a child student, he would be taught martial arts, given him a sword, and arranged for a book boy... …

Thinking about it this way, Yun Jing suddenly felt a little bit at a loss, and it was a big loss, he did one thing, and he got several promises from himself?
Do you want to break your promise?This kid can't turn the sky.

Forget it, things that have already been promised, we can't make a move to renege on our promise, Yun Jing said: "I remember it, don't worry."

"Hey, bro, you're the best, so when will you make it happen for me?" Yun Dong said expectantly.

Yun Jing got up and patted his buttocks and said, "What are you busy with? What else can I do without you? I've got work to do, and there's nothing left until I finish the work. I'll make arrangements for you when I'm free. Don't worry, it won't be long."

"Brother, you said this, don't forget," Yun Dong hurriedly followed.

They are all born with fame and fame, and they are not stable at all, Yun Jing curled his lips secretly in his heart.

This guy is actually famous as a child, so it's worth my effort to correct him.

There are two well-known scholars in the family. The parents must be very happy. What they want in their life is not for their children to be promising...
