Mugui

Chapter 260
Since the locust plague, Dashun has been buying food from neighboring countries.

Naturally, the countries knew about Dashun's situation, so they originally didn't want to sell grain to Dashun.At this juncture, wouldn't it be good to attack Dashun?
However, in the northwest, Tang Yuanshan, the general of Huaihua in Ganzhou, sits in town, in the north, the Yang family army sits in town, and in the east, the Lin family army sits in town.

Even in the south, there is Jing'an Hou Sheng's family sitting in town.

Several countries are relatively far away, and the joint war may not be able to win. Even if they win, it is just a country of disaster, which is meaningless.

Instead of fighting a battle that may not be won, it is better to sell grain to the Dashun Kingdom at a high price, and see if they can slow down.

If it can be slowed down, the national treasury will be emptied, and there will be time for war.

If you can't slow down, you can just make money and wait for Dashun to perish on its own.

Therefore, Dashun emptied the national treasury, raised a lot of money from wealthy households and officials, and bought back a lot of grain at high prices.

Coupled with forcing grain merchants to donate, they finally won time.

The grains of the Tatar and Yan kingdoms were sent to the disaster-stricken places in the north, the grains bought by the Tubo and Wa kingdoms were sent to the flooded areas in the south, and the grains of the capital were bought from Dongchang.

This catastrophe in Dashun will soon be over.

The flood in the south has long passed, and there are flood control officials and post-disaster reconstruction officials sent by the imperial court to arrange all the post-disaster affairs in an orderly manner.

There are food places in the north, and the victims of the disaster have also improved.

The army sent by the imperial court also sent various anti-cold materials and helped the homeless people build houses.

As long as we get through this winter, spring begins, and there are wild vegetables, the common people will naturally come back to life.

As for the surrounding countries, seeing that Dashun survived such a big disaster year and survived it so easily, they didn't dare to make small calculations.

It's good to count money at home, what's the fight?For so many years, the countries that have fought with Dashun have not had a good fruit to eat. In addition, each country has its own troubles, and Dashun has successfully passed the most difficult days.

When the grain truck entered the gate of the capital, many people cheered and some even cried bitterly. It was finally saved.

The newly appointed food official is honest and honest, with superb means, not only distributes the food evenly, but also follows the suggestion of Miss Yang's family to set up a sub-district office.

In each street, the number of households and the number of people in each household are clearly registered.

After that, food is distributed daily according to the population.

That way no one will complain.

With the sub-district office, not only the food distribution is done smoothly, but also unexpected gains.

Some wanted criminals had nowhere to hide when they were registered, and they were directly taken to the Yamen.

Even two trafficking gangs and three unincorporated tooth organizations were found.

The most amazing thing is that a person who sells counterfeit medicines turned himself in, just to get a bite.

The law and order in the capital suddenly improved.

The food distribution in the capital is not distributed to the victims from other places, and those victims can only get food from Yang Mu's porridge factory.

Yang Mu called everyone together and told everyone that the yamen would contribute money and efforts to repair their hometown houses and give them food.

Those who want to go back to their hometown can get [-] catties of grain from her before going on the road.

The people in Dashun still love their families, and no one wants to wander outside if they can go back to live in the place where they have lived for half their lives.

Besides, it's winter, and there are no houses here, so how can we spend the winter?

The vast majority of the victims came to collect food, gradually dispersed, and set foot on the way home.

Some homeless people begged Yang Mu to take them in.

Yang Mu did the math, but with more than 100 people, she could still afford food and drink.

Here, there are lonely and widowed old people who can't walk much, and they are afraid that they will die when they return to their hometown.

Some of them are teenagers, whose families are all dead, and there is no point in going back to their hometowns.

Some are women who have been sold by their husbands and do not want to return to their hometowns.

And more of them are some young and middle-aged people. They have worked hard to come to the capital, and they have no worries at home. They simply want to work in the capital to support themselves.

There are a few who know how to punch and kick, and Yang Mu recruits them into the Yang family's guard team.

For the rest, Yang Mu allocated them to several villas to take in.

With the distribution of food from the imperial court, Yang Mu didn't have to set up a porridge factory outside the city, and let people take over the stall.

After more than two months of relief, Yang Mu actually didn't have much food left.

Fortunately, these are all worthwhile, not only supporting many lives, but also winning the reputation of "female Bodhisattva".

In order to commend her, the empress dowagers of the two palaces still rewarded her at the beginning, but after the treasury was emptied, the empress dowagers had nothing to reward her.

After the empress dowagers of the two palaces discussed with the empress dowager, they made Yang Mu the princess of Shanning.

It's just a name, but it has no real power, not even a fief or food city.

Yang Mu is not very satisfied with such superficial articles. How can there be real money for the title of a princess?

Just because she doesn't mind, doesn't mean others don't care.

How many handkerchiefs Yang Fei tore and how many harsh words she scolded on the day of Yang Mu's canonization were relayed to Daishan by Lu Yao.

When Yang Mu heard that Yang Fei was unhappy, he became happy.

The princess is very good!
Dai Shan said: "Lu Yao also said a strange thing, the second young lady seems to be a little strange recently, her temper is getting bigger and bigger, and her figure is getting thinner and thinner."

Yang Mu turned to look at her and asked, "Is there anything unusual about her diet and daily life recently?"

Dai Shan said: "That's why it's strange. Lu Yao said that the second young lady likes to eat cold cakes very much recently, and she doesn't stop even in winter, she wants to eat every now and then."

"Cold cake?" Yang Mu pondered.Then asked: "Is it cold cake from the big kitchen?"

Since Aunt Miao passed away and Yang Fei was found to have harmed Yang Mu many times, Yang Fei no longer had the privilege of the small kitchen and could only eat in the big kitchen.

Dai Shan nodded and said: "It's made by the big kitchen. The second lady gives a hundred dollars to the big kitchen every day, just to make cold cakes."

Yang Mu rolled his eyes and said, "Go and find out, what is the relationship between this cold cake cook and Mother Lu?"

Dai Shan responded and was about to leave when Yang Mu asked again, "Where is Mother Lu now?"

Dai Shan said: "I still serve the second lady, but the second lady doesn't seem to trust her anymore, let her manage the servants instead of serving her closely."

Yang Mu waved his hand, and Dai Shan backed out.

After Daishan left, Yang Mu picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Lin Xiao.

The two of them are too busy, they only met a few times in the past two months, and even wrote letters intermittently.

She told her story again, and asked about Lin Xiao's recent situation.

In less than half an hour, the carrier pigeon sent a reply.

What Lin Xiao meant was that since the "Jiuqiao Baitong Pill" has arrived, try to wait for Lin Mao to come back from the northeast.

At that time, Yang Cheng'en, Yang Zhen, He Sanniang, and Lin Mao's four second-rank forces will work together, and they should be able to protect Yang Mu's detoxification.

Although Yang Mu didn't know how powerful this detoxifying elixir was, he was unwilling to take away Lin Xiao's kindness, and wrote back to agree to the matter.

　Sorry, starting today, it may be a chapter a day
　　But the story must be finished, don't worry.
