Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 589 Longbei School Shocked the Court (2)
Later, he married the daughter of a rich businessman in the Kai Dynasty, but he had no heirs. The great doctor of Tianzhu Kingdom saw him and said that he had suffered too many incidents when he was young, and it was difficult to have heirs.

The Kai Dynasty was destroyed, and the Ding Dynasty was established.

Mu Li sent people to Dingchao quietly to inquire about the family situation, and learned that no one survived. Sadly, because he had no heirs, his enemies would only laugh at him when he came back, so he stayed in Tianzhu.

Five years ago, Mu Li got his son Mu Siguo with great difficulty, and prepared to raise Mu Siguo well so that his son would grow up and return to Dingchao with all the wealth.

Three years ago, Qin Minye begged He Dong to rectify his grandfather He Dashi's name in Dingchao's palace examination, and He Dong returned the innocence of He Dashi in the palace.

Only then did Mu Li know that his cousin's two daughters, the He sisters, both survived, and both lived a prosperous life.

Mu Li's health is getting worse and worse. In order to seize Mu Dong's family wealth, his wife's family members start planning to kill Mu Siguo after Mu Dong dies.

After Mu Li found out, he intentionally made two loss-making businesses and lost a large sum of money. Only then did the wife's clansmen stop their vicious thoughts.

At the end of last year, before Mu Li died of illness, he told Mu Siguo everything, and then wrote two letters, one to the old patriarch of the Yun clan, and one to Qin Minye, and asked Mu Siguo to write two letters. The content of the letter will be memorized.

On the day Mu Li died of illness, Mu Siguo's biological mother was killed by Mu Li's first wife.

Mu Li's loyal servant took Mu Siguo out of Tianzhu Kingdom and followed the large caravan to Dingchao. Because he first went to Tianshui and then Chang'an, he first went to see the old patriarch Yun.

Unexpectedly, there was an earthquake in Tianshui, the patriarch Yun and the servants of Mu Li died, and the people of Mu Si country were small and weak. It was very difficult to survive the chaos of the Yun clan, and it was impossible to reach Chang'an.

Mu Siguo came to Jincheng with a hundred monks from Baita Temple, and finally wandered to Wuquan Temple. God opened his eyes and let him meet Li Jingjing brother and sister by chance.

"Sister, the little monk is really a little cousin."

"This little cousin is really smart. Mother and aunt have something to do now."

Just when Li Jingjing's siblings thought that the He sisters were going to adopt Mu Siguo, both He Yijue and He Yiyang wrote letters to Li Yunxiao.

Mu Siguo was recognized by Murong Ying as his adopted son and raised in the palace, and He Dong canonized Mu Siguo as the first-rank county king.

Holding the two letters, Li Yunxiao said with a smile: "Guolang, a villain, has caught the eyes of His Majesty and Empress, and he has become the prince's righteous brother."

Li Jingjing said to herself: "Your Majesty launched an uprising back then and didn't get the support of the Mu clan, so why did you make Guolang the county king?"

Li Yunxiao also had doubts in his heart, and said: "Why do your majesty and the queen protect the descendants of the Mu clan?"

A few days later, Li Jingjing received a neatly handwritten letter from Mu Siguo, if she hadn't met him before, she would have thought it was written by a teenager, how could she have thought it was written by a five-year-old child.

In the letter, Mu Siguo thanked Li Jingjing for helping him find his relatives and live a stable and prosperous life, and he will repay her great kindness when he grows up.

He Jingyan read Mu Siguo's letter, and said expressionlessly: "This Guolang is very powerful, please Your Majesty and Queen to come forward, drive his aunt's entire family out of the court, and transfer the abbot of Wuquan Temple to Chang'an Temple Go to be an elder, and let the hundred monks of Baita Temple become his bodyguards."

Li Jingjing said softly: "This villain repays kindness and revenge. It is really terrible. I hope he will not grow up in the future."

During the days when Mu Siguo went to Chang'an to find relatives and enter the palace, the Longbei government did another major event. Li Jingjing sent disaster victims from Tianshui City Mansion to plant peach and pear trees along the banks of the Yellow River twenty miles away from Jincheng.

Everyone in the Ding Dynasty knows that the best season for planting trees is in spring, and it is best to plant willows along the river bank.

Li Jingjing planted trees in autumn, and she also planted peach and pear trees on the bank of the river.

"Longbei is going to winter soon, and the ground freezes after the snow. It's no wonder that the newly planted saplings can survive."

"Why don't you plant willows like Chang'an Bahe, but peach and pear trees? It's really vulgar!"

"The princess is messing around, and Yan Luo Wang is so fond of her that she doesn't care. Just wait and see how Longbei makes a big joke this time."

The matter of planting fruit trees on the banks of the Yellow River in Longbei in winter caused a lot of trouble in the court.However, this didn't stop He Dong from fulfilling his promise. As soon as the new rice from Nandi arrived, he sent officials to deliver [-] catties of rice to Longbei.

He Jingyan asked court officials to send rice directly to the Murong family in Henan Province, and then exchanged 12 catties of noodles from the Murong family.

The noodles from the imperial court were distributed to more than 2 victims from Tianshui by the Longbei government. On average, each person received less than six catties of noodles. Even if they ate batter and drank only one meal a day, it was only enough for a month.

Since the disaster victims came to Jincheng in Longbei, they received food relief from the government on a head-by-month basis for three consecutive months, and this is the fourth month.

The victims thought that they could receive at least [-] catties of potatoes, which had just been harvested in Longbei, but they didn't know it was flour, which was less than six catties per person.

It's not winter yet, and it looks like the Longbei government has no money to buy food for the victims.

The victims don't know how to survive the long winter and live until the beginning of next spring. The joy of just getting a face gradually disappears, replaced by the pain of worrying about survival.

Some victims had the courage to ask the officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth, and their questions were immediately reported to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Several officials came to the hall of the main courtyard worried, and reported to the victims one after another, "My lord, the victims already have houses, land, and clothes, but the food given is not enough. I'm afraid they won't be able to survive the winter."

"My lord, the disaster victims are grateful to the Longbei government for taking them in and giving them everything. I wonder if I can do some work in winter to thank them."

The houses built by the Longbei government for the victims are made of a mixture of Yellow River silt, stones, and thatch, which can prevent heavy snow and rain.

The land is the wasteland next to the Yellow River and the mountains, divided according to the head, one mu per person.

Clothes include two sets of clothes and pants for each person in four seasons, a set of bedding for sleeping, and simple kitchen utensils and chopsticks.

He Jingyan could understand it, and said: "Tell them, the wages paid to the government for building schools, academies, planting fruit trees, and repairing roads will be distributed immediately."

Several officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Martha asked: "My lord, when we asked the victims to work, we agreed not to give money, why did we give it again?"

Wang Haoran said slowly: "Our Longbei government built houses for the victims, and sent them clothes and food. It cost nearly 50 taels of silver. Even if the victims worked for ten years, it would not be enough to pay off the debts."

The land is opened by the victims without spending money, but the building, clothing and food are real money.

He Jingyan looked at Qin Er, smiled and said: "Princess asked you to send someone to make a list of workers for the victims before, that is to pay the victims according to the working hours. Those who are diligent and capable will get more money, and those who are lazy will not work in the name of illness." less money."
