Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 136: Disaster relief comes to an end, leaving no one behind

For the north, ordinary disaster relief methods are unlikely to have any effect. This is limited by the fact that there is not much food in the national treasury, and Li Shimin cannot provide much food for disaster relief.

The people in the north happened to take a fancy to this, and they caused waves behind the scenes. A catastrophic disaster turned Henan, which should not have been affected, into a hell on earth, let alone Shandong, Shanxi and other places.

How many people die has nothing to do with these people. What they care about is the huge profits behind it.

And Lin Heng, in an almost unprecedented way, mobilized half of the Tang Dynasty's grain to stabilize local grain prices.

Only when food prices stabilize will we have the opportunity to provide disaster relief.

When he learned that Li Yuanchang had put the grain on the market, Lin Heng's heart finally fell to the ground.

The hard work during this period was finally not in vain.

A few days later, after food prices completely stabilized, Lin Heng began to absorb the influx of food from other places.

Although the food price of one hundred coins and one stone is higher than the normal food price, it is already a very good situation now.

In Luoyang, Li Zhen took out the government's inventory and money and began to cooperate with Lin Heng's sudden increase in disaster relief.

A large number of porridge sheds are opened and grain seeds are provided to local people free of charge to ensure that local people can survive and prevent the land from being abandoned, thereby promoting internal circulation.

Grain has been allocated from all over Henan. Corruption is unavoidable. Corruption exists wherever there are officials, but few people are doing it to drive up grain prices.

If you sell your grain at a high price and people buy it elsewhere, you won’t be able to sell it at all.

This kind of structure is hard-won...

After another half month, Lin Heng allocated nearly 20 guan of copper coins to absorb grain, mobilized the grain to various disaster areas, and asked the governors in various places to implement Lin Heng's epidemic prevention plan.

During the period when the Han Dynasty was separatist, many people died in Shandong and Shanxi. Some people even started to rebel, but they were forcibly suppressed.

Now, the emergence of disaster relief food has undoubtedly brought these people back from the brink of life and death.

Lin Heng had seen too many families whose family members had died. Their first reaction when they saw the food was not to be excited, but to curse the court for not coming earlier.

If there was nothing he could do, Lin Heng wanted to deliver it as soon as possible, but with so many people affected, how could he handle it so easily?
Although Lin Heng didn't say it on his face, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

I'm afraid this disaster relief will be met with mixed reviews, and the imperial court may want to punish him for failing to provide adequate disaster relief.

After all, given the current situation, any dog ​​could do a great job in disaster relief.

However, he only received some news from Chang'an, and there was no accountability from the court.

Another half month has passed, and the disaster relief situation in various places is almost the same. Few people have starved to death due to lack of food. The sufficient official granaries ensure that local disaster relief will not go wrong.

Lin Heng planned to return to Chang'an. He had been away from Chang'an for nearly two months and he was already very tired.

Now he doesn't dare to take Li Ningxi and Li Lizhi out and just leaves them in Luoyang. With Li Yuanchang taking care of them, there will definitely be no problems.

In this month, Lin Heng faced not only the victims who had been hungry for a long time, but also people who were bewitched and thought Lin Heng was a sinner and wanted to fight to the death.

There were also assassinations from bureaucrats from all over the country, one after another. The closest to death was probably when Lin Hengsheng out of compassion wanted to help a woman whose husband died tragically die buy a coffin for burial.

The poison-stained knife was only slightly different from Lin Heng, but it was about to take his life.

After the woman was held down, she yelled that Lin Heng was the same as those corrupt officials, otherwise her man would not have died.

Lin Heng was too lazy to explain these things, and finally let her go and gave her a sum of money to bury her man.It was impossible for him to keep everyone informed and know what he had done. This was unrealistic.

There are some things that you just need to know, so that you have a clear conscience, and you are not afraid of the shadows being distorted when you are upright.

Although he is not a saint, he is not sloppy in the matter of disaster relief.

It's just that no one said these words. Even Li Ningxi and Lin Heng didn't want to worry her about this matter.

After making the decision, Lin Heng and others set out to rush back to Chang'an. The disaster relief had been entrusted to the governors of various places. If the current situation could not be solved, they could really die together with those who were killed.

Li Zhen was fully responsible for the cultivation of potatoes. Lin Heng had no intention of killing him in the end.

In terms of doing things, he has good abilities.

Moreover, Li Shimin also said that he prefers to use capable officials rather than honest officials.

Lin Heng has tried his best to do his best on all matters related to the north. As for what those people say, he doesn't care...

The convoy returning to Chang'an did not rush too fast. After all, they were not in a hurry now.

During this period of time, Lin Heng seemed to have no time to deal with anything. He spent most of his time sleeping, chatting with Chu Suiliang, or accompanying Li Ningxi, lying on her sister's bed in front of Li Lizhi. Sleeping on legs.

This made Li Lizhi very angry, but seeing Lin Heng's appearance, she put away her temper and did not disturb him.

Occasionally, she would talk about the disaster relief, tell Lin Heng her thoughts, and then ask for his opinion.

Lin Heng was very surprised, why did Li Changle suddenly like to think about this kind of thing? Could it be that she wanted to be Wu Zetian?

Well, Wu Zetian should have been born now, but she is probably still young.

Forget it, she can think about it as much as she likes. Li Changle is at the age of whimsical ideas, and it might be interesting to unlock a new plot of the Tang Dynasty.

And Li Ningxi would feel a little distressed every time she saw Lin Heng sleeping soundly. She could also sense what Lin Heng had faced in the past two months.

It's not that easy. It's not that easy to bring down food prices. If it were that simple, those officials in the DPRK would have gone long ago.

Lin Heng is just his consort, why should he shoulder such an important responsibility...

Half a month later, the convoy arrived in Chang'an, and the news that they were going back to Chang'an had already spread.

No one greeted him, and no one cheered. There was only silence from passers-by, and even curses.

Lin Heng sat in the carriage where Chu Suiliang was, turning a deaf ear to everything outside the carriage.

Chu Suiliang and others' eyes were already red and they clenched their fists tightly.

"What do these people know? What Consort Lin has done during this period is something they will never be able to do in their lifetime!"

"Those scholars are really full. Have they ever seen the dead people in the north?"

"Brother Lin, don't stop me, I really can't stand these people!"

"Let's go to the palace first..."
