Chapter 34 Drought
  Li Wenjin's eyes were full of emotions, but when Xu Zhiyan looked at him, she hid her emotions in time.

"Nanny, we are still young, and you may not understand what engagement means, so I am not eager to get your answer, but you have to promise me that you can't be cruel to me in the future."

"I see that my father is very busy these days. It seems that something happened in the north. I may be sent out. I don't know when I can come back. Don't forget me then."

He made up lies to deceive her.

She had no idea and was easily fooled.

"I will never forget you, but I haven't heard the news about the drought yet. Do you have any special way?"

[According to normal circumstances, towards the end of the new year, local officials in places where droughts occurred were unable to cope, and the court only found out about it. Why did it come so far in advance this time? 】

[Or is it that the court knew about it before but did nothing? 】

Li Wenjin was angered by this inaction, but thinking that she was in front of her and needed to get more drought-related information from her, she suppressed her emotions hard and the corners of her eyes turned red.

Xu Zhiyan was frightened by his sudden red eyes, and her expression was as alert as a small animal in sudden danger.

Li Wenjin's heart choked, and she withdrew a kind smile, then as usual, she took her into his arms and held her in his arms, standing on tiptoes from time to time to coax her.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not angry. I'm just angry that the officials over there didn't act. If I hadn't accidentally paid attention to that place this time, I probably wouldn't have known there was a disaster there. In the end, I still pitied the people."

She relaxed.

"The common people are the most pitiful."

[The disaster first started in a county called Yingbigou, but they were the last to receive rescue. Most of the people in this county died. It was so tragic. 】

Hawkbill hook.

Li Wenjin silently remembered the place name in his heart, coaxed her a few more words, and then went into the palace to find his father.

"Father, I have something to ask."

The emperor was still very tolerant and kind to his prince, and after hearing this, he signaled him to speak directly.

"I won't hide it anymore. Since ancient times, there have been floods in the south and droughts in the north. This year, the floods in the south have been resolved, but there is no news about the drought in the north."

"But my father, looking at the information you gave me, this year's situation is almost the same as droughts in history. I boldly guessed that perhaps this year's drought has already begun to appear, but it has not been reported."

This is no small matter.

The emperor's expression condensed, "Wen Jin, do you have any information to support these words?"

Li Wenjin presented the prepared information, "The place where the cinnabar seal is drawn is the key information."

The emperor carefully compared the situation and found that the situation in the north this year was indeed similar to the drought situation in history. He summoned the palace people and asked them to summon the ministers to the palace for discussion, and then sent the shadow guards to the north to investigate on the spot.

"Wen Jin, when I discuss with the ministers later, you stay in the inner room and listen. When the final results from both sides come out, I want to send you to the north to deal with these matters as you said."

"Don't think that I'm trying to make things difficult for you. Geniuses and geniuses all make their fortunes at a young age. You are eleven this year. I think you are as good as the geniuses in history in all aspects, and if you do this well, it will be of great help to you in the future. "

Everyone said that once they have power, they are reluctant to let it go, but the emperor is different. Rather than holding on to power until he is half-dead and not getting a good reputation, he prefers to cultivate his successor early and give it to him at the right time. Zen position.

So he is now preparing to build momentum for Li Wenjin.

Dealing with drought is a good place to start.

Li Wenjin understood the emperor's painstaking efforts, and after respectfully thanking him, he slowly entered the inner chamber. This stay lasted from day to night. All the ministers believed that it would be better to kill by mistake than let go, and they should send people directly to the north to avoid causing a big disaster. But the emperor remained calm and waited until the shadow guards came back.

What Li Wenjin said is right.

There are already signs of drought in the north.

Especially in Eagle Beak Hook, the people's food supply has begun to be stretched. Now they rely solely on the government to open warehouses and release grain. The reason why the court has not received the information is because some officials intercepted it privately.

The emperor threw the paperweight away.

The dull sound makes people panic.

"Absurd! Wen Jin, pack your things. In the next few days, I will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to prepare disaster relief money and food. We will set off as soon as they are ready. Remember, first stabilize people's hearts."

Li Wenjin knelt down to receive the order.

"My son, I obey your orders."

The incident was discovered so suddenly that many people did not receive the news, but Xu Ziying found out about it somewhere and found Hua Rong. At that time, Hua Rong was selecting materials for new clothes for the children. When he saw him I was a little surprised.

"Ziying, aren't you busy today?"

Xu Ziying didn't hear the slight displeasure in her tone and sat down beside him.

"Busy, but I have something to discuss with you, madam."

"I heard that there is a drought in the north, and the emperor wants to send the prince there. The prince is still young. If the emperor dares to arrange for him to go, he must be fully prepared to create momentum. I remember that my brother-in-law, General Hua Xiao, is also going to accompany him. Madam, you Let’s go to Hua’s house and find a way for me to accompany you.”

He believed that this trip was a sure profit and he made up his mind to go.

Hua Rong saw much further than him.

"I understand what you mean, but you have to know that fame and fortune are not so easy to come by. There has been a long drought in the north. Every time there is a drought, people are in dire straits. Those who deal with disasters are the busiest and most tired. When you meet refugees who are forced into desperate situations, It may even be life-threatening.”

In other words, even if the emperor is 100% sure of dealing with this disaster, he cannot guarantee that everyone who goes there will be safe.

Xu Ziying was stunned and couldn't listen at all.

He also believes that Huarong women are benevolent.

"You are a housewife, how do you know anything about court matters? Just listen to me. Go to the Hua family as soon as possible and give me an answer as soon as possible."

"Also, the fabric this time looks very good. I gave these pieces to me as a favor."

Xu Ziying's tone was irreverent. Before Hua Rong could say anything, he sent someone to take away the cloth he had chosen. He didn't even look at her before leaving. When he walked away, Hua Rong was so angry that he violently picked up the cloth on his hand. Fall.

He chose such a bright color as a favor because he was afraid that others would not know that he planned to use it to coax Xiaoqing.

Xu Zhiyan came to her side, hugged her arm, and looked up at her softly.

"Mother is not angry, she will be angry."

She touched the corners of Hua Rong's eyes with her little hands, and her milky voice soothed Hua Rong's anger.

Hua Rong picked up Xu Zhiyan and kissed her several times on the face, "My dearest daughter, come on, let's continue picking out the materials, so that you and your brothers will be able to wear them very nicely."
