Chapter 1676

Although Lu Anlang has earned a lot of income outside the customs in the past two years, he has to support the army, and when he thinks of giving the things he earned to that narrow-minded Baili Hanfeng, Lu Anlang feels aggrieved, and he will not take the initiative to give the things away. Go out, but now that Hao'er is the emperor, he won't withhold their military pay, but as an uncle, Lu Anlang still wants to lighten Hao'er's burden.

The national treasury was not very rich before, and the various disasters in the past few years have put too much pressure on the national treasury. Hao Er took over such a mess when he ascended the throne. Whether he can't sleep well because of worry, then he, the uncle, can only share the burden for him.

The land rent collected last year was either grain, or cattle and sheep. When he heard the news of Baili Hanfeng's death, he asked people to sort it out. Some, after leaving enough for the northern army to feed, sent a letter to Hao'er to see where he asked him to adjust it.

After receiving Lu Anlang's letter, Hao'er jumped up excitedly on the spot, hugged Gao Yingnan and walked around the house several times, "Yingnan, uncle and aunt have sent us food, several million stone grains, and cattle and sheep Horse, this time we don't have to worry about food for the victims and the common people."

Gao Yingnan was also very excited. The news of flooding in the South just came a few days ago. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected. There was not much money in the treasury, and there was no food for disaster relief. Now there is food for Lu Anlang and Jiang Caiyue, but Solved their urgent needs.

And Lu Anlang's letter also said that this year's grain harvest is about to be harvested, and there will be more grain than this at that time, Hao'er immediately sent an imperial edict to Lu Anlang, asking him to send the grain directly to the south, as there are not enough carriages It was collected in the surrounding areas, and the states, prefectures and counties along the way dispatched soldiers and horses to escort the grain and grass to ensure that the grain and grass were safe.

Lu Anlang received the imperial decree, and their respective officials also received it. They all knew that if the new emperor ascended the throne, if they made a mistake, their future official career would come to an end. No one dared to perfunctory. Soldiers sent from various places guarded both sides of the road. , where the food delivery team passed, no thieves dared to snatch it.

It is a long way to transfer grain from the north to the south. Even if we speed up the journey, when the first batch of grain arrives in the disaster area, it is already more than 20 days after the disaster.And the food and grass brought in from the nearest place is very economical, and they have already eaten to the bottom. If they arrive two days later, the victims in the south will starve.

In the past, if there was such a catastrophe, even if they did not die in the flood, most of the people would starve to death in the end. They wanted to escape the famine, but the government was afraid that the plague would spread and block the major intersections. The victims could only wait in despair. die.

But this year, when the catastrophe hit, the people were also desperate, but they didn't want the government to respond in time and bring in food from the nearest place. The food that can be brought in is limited.
Now that they know that there are millions of stone grains to feed them, and there are still a lot of cattle and sheep to eat, and more grains will be sent in the future, the people are at ease and have confidence in rebuilding their homes.

Along with the grain trucks came a large number of medicinal materials and prescriptions to prevent diseases that are common during disasters.

Because when the flood just happened, a local doctor took people to the disaster area and prepared a lot of anti-epidemic medicines. It is rare that there was no major epidemic after the catastrophe, and the medicinal materials sent were all high-quality. For these doctors who have worked hard for more than 20 days regardless of themselves, seeing that the medicinal materials are running out, it is tantamount to a life-saving elixir.

In the disaster area, there are many sick victims waiting for these medicinal materials to save their lives.
