Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 795 Construction of Water Conservancy
There are more and more victims, and Emperor Chu has been quite a headache recently. In order to accommodate the victims, many straw sheds have been built under the city wall.

When Rong Jiu passed by, he saw that the hut was full of victims in ragged clothes, all of them were famine-faced and thin, and there were many children among them, which made Rong Jiu feel sour.

She was going back to the Princess Mansion, but Rong Jiu suddenly asked Ling Yue to turn the carriage around and go to Chang'an Medical Center.

Old Master Murong was about to go out, saw her coming, and said: "You came just in time, this old man was going to find you, and there were many disaster victims in the city, this old man wants to set up a medicine shed for free consultation, what do you think?"

"That's exactly what I mean. The victims have no food to eat. If they get sick, they can only wait to die. If another epidemic breaks out, Chang'an will be in danger."

Seeing what she said, Mr. Murong immediately started to do it.

Rong Jiu still had something to do, so he rushed back to the Princess Mansion, just as Shen Cheng came back from Dali Temple.

Rong Jiu frowned and said: "Recently, there have been many victims in Chang'an, and the emperor is worrying about resettlement. If this continues, the city gate will be closed. Once the flood of victims is prevented, there may be riots."

Shen Cheng's expression was also a bit dignified: "If the victims have been starved of food, there will be riots, they will break into the people's homes and rob rice and grain, if they are forced to suppress, they will definitely force the people to rebel, not only in Chang'an, but also in the whole of Southern Chu. chaos."

"I want to set up a porridge shed to help the victims together with the imperial court, and solve some urgent problems first, and see what the emperor's decision will be then."

Shen Cheng nodded: "Lingyue, go and ask Manager Yan to come over."

Ling Yue was about to look for Manager Yan, and Manager Yan came over. Rong Jiu saw that he looked a little uncomfortable, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Manager Yan said worriedly: "Before, a bucket of rice was only five yuan, but in the past few days, it has skyrocketed from twenty yuan a bucket of rice to 150 yuan, and today it has risen to two hundred yuan. If this continues, you will not be able to buy rice with money grain."

Rong Jiu was startled and furious.

The people are starved of food, and there are even people who maliciously hoard rice grains and drive up grain prices.

Food is the most important thing for the people, if there is not enough to eat, whether it is the people in Chang'an or these disaster victims, the hearts of the people will be in chaos. Once the hearts of the people are in chaos, the world will be in chaos.

Shen Cheng's eyebrows and eyes were also covered with a layer of frost: "This matter must be a collusion between the government and the businessman. Lingyue, you take the secret guards to investigate quickly, and see who is hoarding rice in the court."

"Yes."

"Mu Feng, you take two people to buy rice in other cities, and leave immediately."

"Yes."

After finishing the order, Shen Cheng said to Mr. Yan: "Tomorrow morning, have people set up porridge sheds everywhere in the city."

Manager Yan frowned and said, "There is not much food in the house, and it can only last for half a month at most."

"Half a month is enough. When the time comes, Mu Feng will also buy rice grains and come back. Even if he can't buy them, there are still some officials. Let them spit out."

As soon as Rong Jiu heard this, he guessed what Shen Cheng wanted to do, and this was what she wanted to do.

Manager Yan was about to go down to do it, when Rong Jiu called him back: "Calculate how much money is in the mansion."

Manager Yan was surprised, but didn't ask any further questions, and bowed and retreated.

Shen Cheng said: "Ah Jiu asked Chief Manager Yan to count the money, is it for disaster relief?"

"The strategy for disaster relief is not to provide relief, but to fundamentally solve the drought."

"Qinzhou has little rain all year round, and it is already drought. It is too difficult to solve it fundamentally."

"The common people can be allowed to grow some drought-resistant crops, and another one is to build water conservancy."

Shen Cheng was shocked.

She asked Manager Yan to liquidate the money because she wanted to build water conservancy in Qinzhou?
