In the evening, Hongming brought back two people. One was Kong Shaoguang and the other was Cao Shi. They were Jiang Sanjin's seniors.It is said that only the direct blood relatives of Jiang Yisheng or the disciples who inherited Yigu can have the surname Jiang.

And Jiang Sanjin is the third generation successor of Yigu, and now Jiang Erming is in charge of Yigu.

Luo Xiyao and He Lan Linzhang didn't see them, they just asked Steward He to clean up a small courtyard for them to live in, and let people watch them, as long as they don't poison, don't pay too much attention to the rest.

Fortunately, the two of them were well-behaved. After living in the palace, they never went out except to open the door to get the hot water and food brought by others.

"Do you think it's strange?" Luo Xiyao said while peeling the oranges, "Your Majesty even asked Jiang Sanjin to check your pulse, but he didn't let him go to the Second Prince's Mansion for a diagnosis and treatment. It can be seen that in the eyes of His Majesty, you are not treated well. Friendship is three points better than the second prince!"

Helan Linzhang picked up a piece of orange and stuffed it into her mouth, "Bai Yanwen is his son, even if Concubine Ping is gone, there is still Ping's family! Even if Emperor Dongqi killed the donkey, he would not do it so obviously He can rest assured. First, he trusts Ding Zhen's medical skills. Second, he has his eyes and ears in the second prince's mansion. He knows whether the second prince's life is in danger. The second prince was already punished. There will be difficulties today, and Emperor Dongqi may not have the idea of ​​teaching him a lesson."

Luo Xiyao was currently chewing the finished orange, and wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, "There is also a possibility that Jiang Sanjin's strengths are not in curing difficult and miscellaneous diseases, but the opposite of Imperial Physician Ding. I’ve never heard of it. I grew up in Pingcheng, but it’s not because the Valley of Medicine has declined. The medical sage rose to fame because of curing epidemics and giving free pulse checks to the poor. His descendants may not have the opportunity and ability. "

"That's right. If Emperor Dongqi hadn't asked Jiang Sanjin to touch the bones, I wouldn't have known that Princess Ronghui had such a capable person by her side."

"What do you know?" Luo Xiyao raised her eyebrows, with a look of contempt for him, "In the brochure Mr. Sui gave me, there is no Princess Ronghui, which shows that you have such a big heart, how dare you not have such a rich background?" Capable people are in the eyes."

"you……"

It stands to reason that after a drought, locusts are prone to plagues. Jiangbei has always had long winters and short summers, and there is not much rain. Why is there suddenly a locust plague?
Dong Qi did something outrageous, causing the heavens to punish him, causing uneasiness everywhere.

Not to mention the south, they didn't pass through that direction on their way back to Mobei, but the central and northern parts of Dongqi were places they couldn't avoid on their way, unless they could fly!

Hongming was given to Luo Xiyao, and Baishui was left in Yujiang by him. The person Helan Linzhang called this time was Baishui's brother named Baishan.

"Yes!" He Lan Linzhang sighed, "Compared with the central region and Jiangnan, the people in Jiangbei are more pitiful. Even if the locusts are full and fly away, they will leave their eggs in the ground. Once they are not cleaned thoroughly, The coming year will be another disaster. Although Mobei is bitterly cold, if they go, there is a way out, but staying in Dongqi will only lead to death, we can't leave them alone."

The Yujiang River is in the central part, whether it's earthquakes or droughts, it's all concentrated in the central part now, and although it's rainy in the south, the river's water hasn't risen to the point where it will rush back to the dam.And the north side... I haven't heard of a disaster, why did swarms of locusts suddenly come?

Luo Xiyao said: "You have already arranged manpower for Yujiang and other places, the imperial court's grain trucks have already left the capital, and the rich local households have also donated silver and grain, even if you robbed those silver grains, the brown rice that can be exchanged is enough for them It takes a while to deal with it, and the central part is not without crops. In this season, people’s homes will also have some stocks. Jiangbei is different, where spring comes later, and now they eat almost all of their winter grains, and new grains grow three times. Inch, once the locusts passed, they didn't even have to peel off the bark."

"You really don't miss the slightest chance to buy people's hearts." He Lan Linzhang said.

The corners of He Lan Linzhang's eyes twitched slightly, and he said: "The monks are merciful, they won't watch the people starve to death, at worst, you can trade them with ingredients. When you go out and do things, you must be flexible. Pick."

He ordered Baishan to find temples and Taoist temples along the way to collect grain.Don't underestimate monks and Taoist priests. They don't have to pay taxes, and there are kind people donating sesame oil money all day long. They will not be short of money or food. "If they don't want to, you..."

They got the news immediately in the paddock, and Luo Xiyao discussed with him to rob the court of disaster relief, but they just wanted to steal food from the greedy officials of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and they didn't really want to starve the people to death.

Luo Xiyao was silent. Apart from being more elegant than her, is there any difference?
"We also need to bring a reliable dental worker." Luo Xiyao said, "Go to the local area to look for it. One hand is selling the life contract and the other is grain. You have to tell them that the selling life contract is just to worry about their promises. After all, our food doesn't fall from the sky. , Once they follow us, open up wasteland and grow food, and after the harvest, as long as they offset what they took from us, the contract of sale can return them."

"Mr. Sui's news can't be wrong." He Lan Linzhang's face darkened, "Eastern Qi has been very peaceful these years, and the Emperor of Eastern Qi has some family background, but the court can stay in court for several days because of disaster relief, not to mention the local... The big towns are fine, but it is difficult to provide timely relief in remote places, and maybe many people will starve to death."

It's different now, relying on their power alone can't accommodate the disaster-stricken people in the middle of the Eastern Qi Dynasty and Jiangbei, but the people are willing to follow them. It is impossible for the Emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty to miss such a long team.

Butler He hurried in and interrupted him, "Your Highness, Miss, Mr. Sui has sent news that there is a plague of locusts in Jiangbei!"

Even if Luo Xiyao and He Lan Linzhang had been prepared for a long time, they wouldn't be able to survive so many disasters!The power of the Eastern Qi Emperor and the whole country will be stretched left and right, not to mention their poor family.

After Baishan left, Luo Xiyao slapped her hands, "Should we also set up a porridge shed outside Beijing?"

Luo Xiyao raised her eyebrows, "You don't have to follow."

Luo Xiyao said softly: "Steal? Rob?"

Even if the Emperor of Eastern Qi wanted to turn a blind eye, the local officials could not let it go. It is necessary to know that the common people are also one of the performance evaluations of parents in a place.

"Why not? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Are you stupid or not, how do I know?"

Seeing her swaggeringly leave after finishing her sarcastic remarks, Helan Linzhang smiled helplessly, what if he didn't spoil his wife?

As Ding Zhen said, the second prince recovered after a few days of suffering, and even the faint marks on his face could not be seen unless he looked carefully. The second prince even left the mansion one step ahead of Helan Linzhang.

There are too many disaster-stricken places, and the quick-witted people came to the capital first to beg for food.

The Eastern Qi Emperor needed manpower, who would do it if his son was not allowed to work at this time?
