Chapter 206

This Mid-Autumn Festival is very different for everyone.

The prince took the people and walked around the city.

Today's people are happy to see him.If you are happy, you will respect it.

Those who kneel are also willing.

The prince was also polite and kind to them.

Just as the prince was walking around, the people below had conveyed what the prince wanted to convey.

The prince will stay here for a long time and accompany them to rebuild.They won't go until they see that they can survive.

For ordinary people, this is great news.

At this time, Gao Taishou and others saw that the prince had won the hearts of the local people so much, and they could only remain silent.

They didn't take the people seriously, but they didn't dare to offend everyone in Luancheng.

At night, Su Nancheng drank a few glasses of wine with the prince, and then returned to his residence.

It was also a coincidence that the letter from home was delivered.

Niu Bai came in person: "There are two family letters from the Hou's residence, from Lord Hou and from the Eldest Master. There is also a letter from Mrs. Seventh Young Lady, which happened to be delivered together. The younger ones are in a hurry, at least in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"You've worked hard all this way, how is your family?" Su Nancheng asked.

"My son, everything is fine at home. The Hou's residence is also fine. Young Madam and Aunt Shen send their greetings, and Sister Dongmei is also fine," Niu Bai said.

Su Nancheng nodded: "As long as they are all well."

Shen and Dongmei cannot send messages, but Mr. Fengzhu is not such a stingy person, at least not yet.

"Don't worry, my lord. Aunt Shen had a cough a while ago. The Young Madam invited the doctor from Qing'an Hall to see her. She is already recovering."

Su Nancheng shook his head, this Shen family, who is delicate and expensive, fell ill again.

Ask Niu Bo to eat and rest, while Su Nancheng reads the letter.

Lord Hou's letter was mainly in response to Su Nancheng.

Said he was aggressive and scolded him.Su Nancheng didn't care.

But scolding is just scolding, Hou Ye also said that someone in the court mentioned this matter, he can still deal with it, His Majesty didn't say anything.

Then there is admonishing him not to allow any more incidents.

Finally, tell him to take care of himself.

Su Yingqu's and Hou Ye's are similar, they also scold him, and then he will bear it for him.

After reading it, Su Nancheng opened Mr. Fengzhu's letter.

This time it looked much more comfortable.

Mr. Fengzhu said that everything is fine at home, and he is concerned about his health, but he doesn't know what the weather is like in Luancheng.He also said that Niu Bai was specially asked to bring some dry food, thick clothes, medicinal herbs and tea that Su Nancheng liked.

He only said that he hoped that her husband would return to Beijing as soon as possible, and that she would be at ease at home.

Mr. Fengzhu is a woman who is not very good at acting like a baby. She is fine at home, but she doesn't know a word in the letter, and she is all well-behaved.

Su Nancheng looked at it, but felt very relieved.

Write her a reply first.

He didn't say anything about the outside affairs, he only said that this place is very bad now, and he can't go back for a while.Tell her to take care of herself at home.

He also said a few affectionate words.

After writing the letter to the first wife, I will write to the Hou Mansion.

The Hou Mansion sent a letter directly to Cheng Kanghou.

Let me first say that I did make a rash move, admit my mistake, and then explain the current situation clearly.He didn't explain anything, Cheng Kanghou was an old man, and he knew why Su Nancheng was so aggressive.

Scolding doesn't mean he doesn't agree.

After writing the letter, he was not in a hurry to get someone to deliver it. Niu Bo always had to rest for two days.

Early the next morning, Su Nancheng went out with the prince to watch.

Reconstruction is already in full swing. Today's common people's houses are all earthen houses, and they are not slow to build.Even if the newly built house is damp, it's better than living outside, and you have to live when you have no choice.

People here are all repairing kangs, which are nothing more than burning firewood.

There are mountains outside Luan City, and the mountains in the north have the most pines and cypresses, and there are also many white birches.

A lot of wood is felled right on the mountain.There is no river or river here, so it is okay to cut down in a short period of time.

What's more, most of the wood in the ruins of the city is still usable, and we can use all the wood that can be used, so that there is no need to cut down the mountain for the remaining manpower.

Now the whole city, young and old, as long as they can still move, they must not be idle.

There are also foreigners who have defected and registered directly with the government, and those who no longer return to their hometowns have changed their household registrations to become people here.

Participate in rebuilding as well.

Due to the dry weather and gradually cooling down, the earthquake did not cause any large-scale epidemic.

However, because many people did not receive medical treatment before, there were also some small-scale infectious diseases.

It's not a big problem, it can be cured.

A large amount of medicinal materials were bought from other places, and there were special medical treatment places inside and outside the city.

It is very rare to rely on the food sent by these few families to support the people of the whole city until the next autumn harvest, but there is no other way now.

After the reconstruction is completed, the food will be distributed according to the population and household registration.

That is, the minimum ration, the main thing is not to die of hunger.

Coarse grains and fine grains are mixed together. At this time, no one dares to say that the food is not good, and some food is good.

Before the prince returns to Beijing, he must finish this matter.The food distributed to the people will not be taken back.

If you don't post it, it will be hard to say later.

After all, it is impossible for the prince to stay here for a long time.

Probably because I have something to do every day, I am very busy, and time flies by quickly.

When Su Nancheng finally had time again, he suddenly changed into a thin cotton coat.

It's already the end of September, and it's going to be winter.

There was still not a single rain, and Luancheng was so dry that the newly built earthen houses did not have to worry about running dry.

The crops in the field have been taken back a long time ago, and this year's harvest is about [-]%, and they are all flat seeds.

If there is no snow in winter, it will be difficult to sow seeds in spring.

The next year's harvest will only get uglier.

lack of food...

The reconstruction is almost done, and the prince can finally return to Beijing.The emperor's decree has been sent, and the prince can choose a day to return to Beijing.

Now some people in the court disapprove, and some people praise the prince greatly.

No matter what, the prince finally has a sense of existence.

After more than two months of getting along, Su Nancheng and Vice Commander Ji drank wine several times, and they are still friends now.

Knowing that the crown prince was about to leave, the big families who had bled gave gifts one by one.

Although they gave away half of their net worth, or even most of their net worth, they couldn't be hated.

Especially Patriarch Wei, who knows that the hardships in Luancheng are not over, if the drought continues, what will happen in the next few years.

So I gave up a lot of money to give gifts.

The one who sent it was either someone else, or Su Nancheng.

He didn't know about Lord Su's face in front of His Majesty, he just thought that Lord Su belonged to the prince.

Sending him off is also like showing favor to the prince.

In the future, I can also climb a little friendship.

Patriarch Wei has decided to move south to Wanzhou Prefecture where his relatives live.

Wanzhou is in Gyeonggi. Although it is also in the north and affected by severe drought, it is much better than Luancheng after all.

Patriarch Wei didn't dare to stay any longer. If he stayed, he might not be able to live past the next year, and this bit of family property would not be preserved.

This is a smart guy and a decisive one.

Su Nancheng accepted his gift and returned some things.

On the surface, he remembered this person.
