Nongmen lady has some fields

Chapter 1067

"Hey, the severe drought this year is also a crime. It's almost hard to live. I guess I won't be able to fiddle with this stall for a long time. I guess there will be almost no customers. It will be hard when the time comes, and there will be old and young at home. We have to raise a family, I don’t know how the family can survive without business.” said the owner of the stall.

As soon as the topic of severe drought was mentioned, people sitting at other tables also chatted.

"Several people in my village starved to death. My family still had a lot of food stored last year, so I can survive. Otherwise, I would probably starve to death."

"It's the same in my village. Several people died of starvation, and now they are almost dying of drought. If it doesn't rain, there will be no drinking water."

"The water in our village is almost dry, and we have to pump the well water. The river has already dried up."

"If it doesn't rain, there may be no water in the well. At that time, we will die of thirst instead of starvation."

"Hey, we still have to think about food now, how to get through it. If we don't have food, we can only flee."

"This court is also true. No matter whether we people live or die, people are starving to death, and we haven't seen any food from the court."

In ancient times, when a wise monarch encountered such a disaster year, he would give relief to the people.

There was also a severe drought 30 years ago. When the first emperor was in power, the climate was similar, and many people died of starvation. However, at that time, the imperial court did not eat much, but they did not starve to death.

A bowl of porridge a day is enough to survive.

It has been dry for a long time now, but I haven't seen any action from the court.

"I heard that the Ninth Prince set up a porridge shop at the gate of the capital, and the refugees who escaped every day can receive porridge to drink."

"Really?"

"I've also heard that there are people in our village who escaped."

"If it is true, then we will be blessed, and we can finally have a good life now!"

"My second aunt's family is almost starving to death. I'll tell them when I turn back, let them go to the capital, and at least I can get some porridge to eat."

"It's still the Ninth Prince who is kind-hearted. I heard that the imperial court has no intention of controlling us ordinary people. The Ninth Prince paid his own money to give porridge to the fleeing people."

"..."

"..."

Han Yingxue ate with her head down, quietly listening to the discussions of these people.

Shangguan Rui looked at Han Yingxue with a smile, and said to Han Yingxue, "Miss Xueer, listen, they are all praising Master!"

Han Yingxue gave Shangguan Rui a white look. It's not that she doesn't have long ears, and it's not that she doesn't hear.

However, Han Yingxue frowned. The faster the news spread, the more villagers escaped, and the less food Xuanyuan Ling had in hand, so he had to buy more food quickly.

I don't know if Xuanyuan Ling went to find Huang Qiang. If Xuanyuan Ling couldn't handle this matter, Han Yingxue still felt that he had to do it himself.

"Boss, check out, how much is it!" Han Yingxue asked after eating.

"Girl, there are 130 Wen in total."

"So expensive?"

The boss smiled embarrassingly, "Girl, this bowl of noodles is [-] renminbi, a bowl of porridge for two buns is [-] renminbi, and a bowl of wonton is [-] renminbi. Forgive me, I have a lot of money in this small stall."
