Mrs. Yipin: a farmer's doctor

Chapter 226
The smile on Mr. Kong's face was a little cracked. He got the news of the dead man earlier than Zhiran and the others.

And he didn't have more than one village in his hands. Among the villages under his jurisdiction, Liujia Village had the least number of deaths.

Master Kong didn't know that the reason why Liujia Village had the least number of deaths was that Zhiran took the lead in getting the villagers to harvest the grain as soon as possible.

"Miss Tang, if you are here to ask about opening a warehouse, I have no choice but to say sorry. There is no order from above, and I dare not make decisions on my own. Besides, now is not a good time to open a warehouse. Looking at this day, I'm afraid There is still a period of time to endure, if the government’s food distribution is finished now, the more difficult days will not be able to survive in the future.”

Zhi Ran bit her lower lip, she knew Master Kong was telling the truth, so she couldn't force it.

She only said: "That's it, I also hope that Mr. Kong can do more for the well-being of the people and let the higher-ups allocate some food to send over."

Master Kong glanced at Zhiran, seeing that she was very young and well-mannered, so she didn't hide much.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the top to allocate grain. In the past, when the situation was good, there was not much grain in the hands of the people. This year is also a year of war. The treasury is empty, and there is no grain to pull out. It is precisely Because of the shortage of food, this small amount of food in the yamen must be treated with more caution."

Zhi Ran opened her lips and asked hoarsely, "How long will this battle be?"

"This time, the young master of the Protector's Mansion went out in person. I believe the war will end soon. For nearly a hundred years, our Nanwu Kingdom has relied on the Protector's Mansion. With the Protector's presence, other countries also Don't dare to commit crimes."

"Why didn't Lord Protector go out before?" If he had gone out earlier, wouldn't the war have ended sooner?

Master Kong sighed, and said sadly: "The Lord Huguo passed away suddenly at the beginning of last year. If it wasn't for the death of the Huguogong, how would other countries dare to invade? The Huguogong is the guardian god of war in our Nanwu Kingdom. With the death of Duke Protector, he disappeared, and only recently returned to the court to lead the army."

After a moment of silence, Kong Dacai said, "It was the Lady Protector who went on the expedition earlier."

This is not a secret, that is, it is far away from the imperial capital, and the news is not well-informed, so the common people don't know it, but everyone in the imperial capital knows about it.

So it's okay for Master Kong to tell Zhi Ran and the others.

Some fragments suddenly flashed through Zhiran's mind, and she felt that there was something important, but she didn't think about it. She frowned and thought about it, but found nothing, so she had to give up.

But after hearing what happened in the Duke's Mansion, Zhiran pursed her lips and said, "The things in the Duke's Mansion are very strange."

How can there be such a coincidence, the Duke Protector has just passed away, and the country found an excuse to go to war there.

"It's fine to talk about it here, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside!" Master Kong suddenly sternly reprimanded. If someone listens to this, it is not an exaggeration to kill Zhiran's head.

Zhiran pursed her lips tightly and nodded in response.

He knew Master Kong's mind.

"Okay, you're still young, so don't bother with this matter. Naturally, I care about the common people's affairs. I'm more anxious than you!"

Zhiran glanced at the roster on the table, and believed Master Kong's words.

Master Kong is looking at the list sent by each village, if he is not sincere for the people, he will not sit here with a look of worrying about the country, frowning.

"Zhiran first thank Master Kong for all the people!" Regardless of Master Kong's ability, at least he has the heart to be a good official.

"I won't bother you, I'll go back first!" Zhi Ran blessed her body and was about to leave.

Master Kong hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhiran: "If there is no news from above and the death toll continues to increase, I will open a position as appropriate."

Zhiran nodded and didn't say much!

It is enough for Mr. Kong to have this kind of heart. After all, this is a crime, and it is the only way to do it now. If the above really blames it, she will fill it with food. I can't let a good official who does things for the people, Just such an obscure sacrifice.

After nearly a month of such dire and torrid days, the government finally heard the news of opening a warehouse to release food for disaster relief.

Zhiran's first reaction was to have someone ask Kong Wenjun about the situation, but the news she got back made her hands and feet cold.

The higher-ups did not say a word yet, making it clear that regardless of the life or death of the people, it was Mr. Kong's decision to open the warehouse.

The first batch of refugees also appeared nearby.

"I gathered everyone at night, I have something to discuss with everyone." Zhi Ran confessed to Xiu'er.

Xiu'er responded, "Yes! I can save it, but Dad and the others are outside, so they will definitely not be able to come back, and I will not be able to notify you."

Zhiran naturally knew, she said: "Just let everyone in the family stay in the house and not go out."

Xiu'er responded, hesitated for a while and stepped forward, whispering in Zhiran's ear.

"Really?" Zhi Ran's eyes widened in disbelief.

Xiu'er scratched the back of her head in embarrassment and said: "Miss, please don't tell the eldest lady, I said this, otherwise the eldest lady will peel my skin."

Everyone knew that Liu Junhao had proposed marriage to the young lady, but was rejected. This time the young lady gave food to Aunt He in private, but no one knew about it.

"Ann! I won't say anything." Zhiran didn't even intend to tell Xiyu about this, otherwise Xiyu's thin skin would not dare to show her face in front of her for a few days.

"I'm relieved now." Xiu'er patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief, then smiled again.

Zhiran confessed: "Just pretend you don't know about this, and don't tell anyone else."

"Okay! I didn't say anything to anyone, not even my sister!"

Zhiran gave Xiu'er an angry look. She didn't say anything now because she hadn't seen Jin'er yet. If she saw her, she would definitely have said it right away. Xiu'er couldn't hold back her words, she was straightforward, and she and Jin'er had everything to do. said.

"Okay, you go back! I'll go find you at night."

"it is good."

Xiu'er skipped back and told everyone to stay at home after dinner.

During dinner, Tang first mentioned the food distribution in Ming'er Town.

"Tomorrow, everyone, go to the town to get food!"

Zhiran responded in agreement, "I think so too! Even if we don't eat the food, we can still give it to uncle and uncle. They definitely don't have enough food."

Xiulan nodded silently.

"Second Aunt, go and inform Uncle Erbo's family that we will go to town with us to collect food early tomorrow morning. It will be more convenient for us to have a carriage." Anyway, the two families have already reached this point, and they don't care about traveling together.

Xiulan responded, "Well, I'll go over and talk to them after dinner."
