Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 607
He Jingyan and Li Jingjing can imagine the situation of the northern land fief that Princess Niu said.

Farmers couldn't even eat enough to eat, and had no money to build houses, let alone buy clothes to keep out of the cold. When the snowstorm came, the houses collapsed, and people and animals starved to death and froze to death.

"This year's snow is heavy, and people in our Longbei fief also froze to death." He Qing said with emotion, glanced at He Jingyan, and asked, "How many people died of freezing and starvation?"

He Jingyan replied: "As of the day before yesterday, there were 14 people."

"Yanlang's fief consists of seven cities, and our family only has one." When Old Princess Niu heard this number, it was hardly a fraction of the death toll in her own fief, and her heart was even heavier.

He Quan lost his voice and said: "My uncle and my aunt have worked hard to entrust the land, and it is too unfair to be impeached by the officials to ruin their reputation."

In order to secure the fiefdom, He Jingqing led the army to exterminate the Xiongnu horse bandits as soon as he went there, and forced the Xiongnu horse bandits to pay a lot of money for assassins to kill him.

He Jingqing's daughter-in-law, Deng Feiyan, is the legitimate daughter of the Deng family. She organized officials' family members to donate money to run schools and help victims of disasters.

The couple have done a lot of good things for the fief, but they still haven't solved the two major problems of food and poverty.

He Jingyan said: "Northern land is colder than Longbei, and there is a bigger food shortage. This winter, not only your family's fief, but Sanbo's fief and other cities also froze and starved many people to death."

Li Jingjing has contributed money and efforts to Longbei this year, and there are dozens of papers about her impeachment by civil officials. She hates these censors who stand up and talk without pain in their waists and can only play tricks.

She said coldly: "Which official will impeach your family, everyone in your family will tell him to go to Beidi City Mansion as a long history, and see what he can do after he goes."

Princess Niu took out a letter from her sleeve, and said to He Jingyan and Li Jingjing: "This is written by Qing Lang, and he said that he asked me to tell you two, can we send agricultural officials to Beidi to help there?" The common people grow potatoes and soybeans?"

Before He Jingyan came, he had guessed that Princess Niu was busy. He glanced at Li Jingjing and saw that she nodded, thinking the same as him, and said, "Second Aunt, I can send you a farm officer."

Niu Lao Wangfei and He Quan are both happy.

He Jingyan continued: "However, I have been to your family's fief. There are few fields outside the city, and there are large grasslands and deserts. There are not many potatoes and soybeans grown in the land."

What he meant was that the agricultural officials went, but it didn't help much.

Old Princess Niu put away her smile, smiled all over her face, and murmured: "Then what should I do?"

He Quan shook his head and said: "The money and food allocated by the imperial court are not enough. Our family has already posted 9 taels of silver to the fief, and so many people and animals died of freezing and starving."

Kong Ye let out a long sigh, and said, "Oh, my daughter took the dowry money and pasted millions of taels of silver to Jingyan's fiefdom, so the common people would starve to death and freeze to death."

"I'll write a letter to Jincheng right now, and send the agricultural officer to your family's fief." He Jingyan went to the study, and He Quan accompanied him.

Seeing that Princess Niu had something to say to Kong Ye and He Qing, Li Jingjing called He Jingxin and He Jingmiao to the side hall.

"When I think of those people in the fief who are hungry or cold, I get upset." The old princess Niu paused and said in a low voice, "Quan Lang is going to get married soon, do you think I should give him a big or a small job?"

Kong Ye looked sympathetically and said, "Yes. If you make a big deal about Quan Lang's marriage, you will be said to be extravagant and wasteful regardless of the life and death of the people in the fief. If you make a small deal, you will be laughed at by the people in Chang'an."

Old Princess Niu asked: "Is your marriage between Xinlang and Miaoniang going to be a big one or a small one?"

He Qing and Kong Ye couldn't help smiling.

Kong Ye said: "Second sister-in-law, we originally wanted to make do with it. After the girl learned about it yesterday, she immediately took out a sum of money to make up for it, saying that it must be done in a decent manner without losing the face of the royal family."

Upon hearing this, Princess Niu asked directly, "How much was the subsidy?" because she had always had a good relationship with He Qing's family. After hearing the reply from He Qing and his wife, she repeatedly praised Li Jingjing.

He Qing and his wife looked at each other, and He Qing said, "Second sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, my daughter also added a large amount of dowry to Miaoniang."

Princess Niu was curious about what kind of dowry she had added, and He Qing and his wife told the truth.

Now Princess Niu felt as envious of He Qing and his wife as Murong Ying, and even scolded her eldest grandson He Wu several times in her heart.

At first He Jinghai wanted to ask Li Bing to marry Li Jingjing for He Wu, but He Wu fell in love with Wang Yanyu, and finally He Jingyan married Li Jingjing.

It would be great if He Wu married Li Jingjing.

He Qing shook his head and said, "My daughter has paid too much to our family, we are ashamed to see Li's family."

"You are so lucky to have such a good eldest daughter-in-law. How can you be so miserable like me, who was married to such a bad woman by His Majesty, and Hailang is still alone until now." The old princess Niu felt sad Sad tears filled my eyes.

He Qing said solemnly: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, this time we will persuade Hai Lang to make sure we get married."

After the two families had dinner, He Qing and his family left, and He Jingyan and Li Jingjing returned to Prince Yan's Mansion.

As soon as the couple entered the mansion, their buttocks could not sit still. Officials visited outside the mansion. They were actually officials from Shaanxi Province, Hebei Province, Northeast Province and other places.

Li Jingjing didn't see them, and went back to the yard to rest.In the past two days after returning to Chang'an, I went shopping and met with relatives to discuss the marriage of my younger siblings. Apart from sleeping, I never idled for a moment. I was really tired.

He Jingyan ordered the housekeeper to bring these officials to the main courtyard hall, and learned that they were all here to ask for advice on planting potatoes and trees in winter, so he said, "Mr. Lin is in Jincheng, so you send the agricultural officials to ask him for advice."

"Thank you, my lord."

"I thank the prince on behalf of the people of Baoding Mansion."

"The prince is benevolent and righteous. It is the blessing of the people of this dynasty not to cover up the achievements of the land and farming."

All the officials flattered for a while, but He Jingyan waved them away impatiently.

Li Jingjing sat in the bathtub and soaked comfortably. After listening to He Jingyan's retelling, she smiled and said, "You sent them all to old man Lin, which saves you trouble. Old man Lin should be getting bigger."

He Jingyan said slowly: "Miss, they want to be white wolves with empty hands. They can get potato tubers and saplings from our fief without even a single penny. Just wait and see. When they went, they were severely scolded by Mr. Lin." Get out of Jincheng."

"That's right." Li Jingjing nodded and said, "I won't give them stems and saplings for no reason."

"Qing Lang is really not smart. He would rather write to the second aunt than me." He Jingyan took a handkerchief and wiped Li Jingjing's back, taking advantage of it.

"It's okay for Jing Qing to lead troops to suppress horse bandits, but it's not good for politics."
