Mugui
Chapter 258
In a grain store that Yang Mu opened a month ago, there is also a grain store under Tang's name, which supplies a limited amount of cheap grain every day, so that those grain stores that want to sell grain at a high price cannot increase their prices.
Yang Mu donated another batch of food to the city defense army, and the city defense army had the strength to patrol the streets, and those who vandalized and looted were arrested batch after batch.
Gradually, the panic atmosphere in the city began to subside.
And because of the porridge factory outside the city, there will be no troubles caused by the victims.
This unprecedented famine since the founding of Dashun did not cause an uproar.
The empress dowagers of the two palaces received various memorials every day, and in the memorials in the capital, two people were basically mentioned - Lin Xiao and Yang Mu.
It was these two people who contributed a lot to calming down the chaos.
It is also the porridge factory outside the city that almost no one was starved to death in this famine, which is a blessing in misfortune.
Otherwise, once there are a large number of dead bodies, there will definitely be epidemics, and when the time comes, the capital will become a dead city.
The empress dowagers of the two palaces issued a three-day commendation order to reward Lin Xiao and Yang Mu for their compassion and dedication to the people of Dashun.
The rewards were continuously carried into Duke Huguo's Mansion and Prince Ding's Mansion.
However, the food will always run out one day, and the second wave of locusts will start soon.
The imperial court urged every household to prepare braziers and place them around the food, so that the locusts would detour.
Looking at the crowds of people going up the mountain to cut trees, Yang Mu couldn't help sighing. After this disaster, the mountains around the capital might be bald.
However, she has no better way. Even in modern times, people can only face such a large number of locusts.
It's better to be bald than to be dead.
In the face of a catastrophe, life should always be saved first.
The second locust crossing is still coming.
After the eggs of the first batch of locusts hatch, the second batch of locusts is formed.
It's just that after people have passed through a large number of insecticidal eggs, the second batch of locusts is not as harmful as the first batch.
But even so, it made the difficult life of the people worse.
A large number of people starved to death all over the country, and even some places starved to death everywhere.
The third batch of locusts, another batch came before the cold weather.
This will be the last batch, because winter is coming soon, and those locusts will freeze to death.
During the locust disaster of more than two months, the queen mothers of the two palaces have not been idle. In addition to urgently buying food with other countries, they also fight for power and profit.
During this period, the Western Empress Dowager seized the granary management right and the position of Minister of Rites from the Eastern Empress Dowager, and the Eastern Empress Dowager seized the positions of Jing Zhaoyin and Bingshu Shangshu from the hands of the Western Empress Dowager.
In the end, these positions were filled by a few unknown people.
It can be said that the empress dowager suffered heavy losses.
When the capital ushered in the first snow of the year, a group of food escort teams entered Beijing.
It was the Wan'an Escort Bureau who escorted the grain and grass.
When Yang Mu from the Porridge Factory outside Nancheng saw the flag of the Wan'an Escort Bureau, he became excited.
When Cao Mudan and Wu Dawan, who were guarding the escort, saw Yang Mu, they hardly dared to recognize him.
Is this tall, thin and picturesque woman in front of her really her titular granddaughter?
The last time we met, this girl wasn't this tall!
Yang Mu looked at the disheveled group of bandit bodyguards, and almost didn't dare to recognize them.
When he learned that the Escort and his party were here to deliver goods to the Duke Huguo's Mansion, Yang Mu called Cao Mudan and his party to Yang's house.
After unloading, Tang was so enthusiastic that he left Cao Mudan and Wu Dawan to stay at Yang's house for a few days to rectify.
The rest of them were arranged by Yang Mu to live in the other courtyard given to her by the Tang family.
This escort trip was food sent by the Tang family in Ganzhou. Tang Yuanshan was afraid that his sister would not have anything to eat in the capital, so he specially ordered someone to make this trip.
In fact, Ganzhou is also in the north, but due to the cold, it has not been invaded by locusts.
The reason why the capital can survive until today without starving to death is because of the relief food sent by these provinces.
On the way to Duke Huguo's Mansion, Yang Mu told Cao Mudan and his wife in the escort car that Tang was his biological mother, and he also told about being dropped as a child.
Cao Mudan suddenly drew out her big knife, and said angrily: "The Miao family's bastards, see if I don't kill them!"
Yang Mule stopped his grandmother with a heck, and said, "Am I the one who spent the night with hatred? I have already taken revenge!"
She told how to uncover the scandal of Aunt Miao's family, and explained everyone's fate one by one.
Cao Mudan still resented: "It's cheap for these bastards!"
After talking about Yang Mu, we talked about the Escort.
During this period of time, Wan'an Escort Bureau's business was good, except for a few small escorts, it was a big job of several hundred taels of silver.
For example, the dart trip from Ganzhou to Beijing cost a total of 1000 taels of silver.
Although the journey was a bit difficult and there were many disaster victims robbing food, but fortunately, we arrived in the capital without any danger.
Yang Mu took a look at Wu Dawan. When Cao Mudan wanted to make the bandit den bigger and stronger, Wu Dawan always made troubles secretly, fearing that the government would target him if he became bigger.
Now that he is an Escort, he is not afraid of becoming bigger and stronger.
Wu Dawan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Yang Mu, coughed dryly, changed the subject, and said, "Before we left Ganzhou, I heard that the young master of the Tang family was going to visit the capital himself, have you come?"
Yang Mu shook his head in surprise.
It stands to reason that cousin Tang Yi should be faster than the dart team.
Could it be that something went wrong on the road?
Wu Dawan said: "Look at Mr. Tang's coming to the capital for important business. He only brought two guards with him. He came on horseback and set off half a day earlier than us."
Important matter?
Yang Mu immediately understood that Cousin Tang Yi was probably here to give away the "Nine Apertures Baitong Pill"!
So, the poison of her "Thousand Gu Melting Sutra Pill" will be cured soon?
Delighted in his heart, Yang Mu settled Cao Mudan and Wu Dawan in the guest courtyard in the front yard, and arranged for several servants to serve them.
He hurried back to Duobaoyuan in the backyard to look for Tang.
When Tang heard that his nephew was coming, he happily asked someone to clean up a guest house for his nephew to live in. Later, he heard that it must have been delayed on the way, so he hurriedly asked Vice Captain Wei of the mansion to lead the guards to look for it along the way.
The Tang family wandered around the house, his nephew should have arrived long ago, this is the only male in the Tang family, so nothing happened on the way.
Yang Mu asked, "Mother, what grade is my cousin?"
Speaking of this, Tang was stunned for a moment, and said, "It seems to be... the third grade!"
That's right, my nephew is a third-rank martial artist, who can hurt him?
Yang Mu was full of envy, third grade... When will I become third grade?
"Mother, don't be in a hurry. I'll go and ask the victims. I might have seen my cousin."
Yang Mu comforted the Tang family, and hurried to the porridge factory outside the city.
It's June, and we'll be busy for about two months
