The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 595
Spring will begin soon.

But before, Lu Qinghuan was just a little worried, but what he didn't expect was that it actually came true.In the winter of this year, there was very little snow, and it hardly accumulated.

After the beginning of spring, there is almost no spring rain.The farmers are looking forward to the rain almost every day.

Today, after Yinzhen came back from the Ministry of Punishment, he was frowning.Obviously, not in a good mood.Seeing him, Gu Qinghuan went up and asked, "Is there any difficult case recently?"

Yinzhen shook his head when he heard this, and talked about the recent situation, and said: "It hasn't rained much recently, and some crops have begun to wither. The water transferred from the river is not enough, and there is not enough manpower. trouble."

Farmers irrigate their fields, of course, not only rely on the little water that rains.Usually, there are small ponds near the farmland.When there is little rain, the farmers will take some water from the pond to irrigate the farmland.

Moreover, some fish can also be raised in the pond, which is also some income for the family.

But this year's rain is less, but it is not the kind of less in the general sense.Rather...almost nonexistent.In Gu Qinghuan's impression, she seemed... only seen a little rain when the weather was gloomy one day.

It's almost the end of February now.Throughout February, only a little rain fell.

"I remember that it seems to be quite warm in winter, and it doesn't snow much." Gu Qinghuan thought for a while, and said, "According to this, it is indeed a little troublesome."

In ancient times, people relied on farming to make a living. To be precise...in fact, they depended on the sky for food.Therefore, once the weather is bad, it is really very troublesome.

Once the life of farmers is not guaranteed, problems are easy to occur.

The first is the problem of food. If there is no food, there will be many impacts.Some people have no food to eat, so they will seek their livelihood from other places. It’s okay for those who follow the right path, but if they don’t follow the right path...

Some fall into bandits, and some will go directly to steal.Some riots are caused by this.Moreover, if this situation continues, it will get worse and worse.

Once someone starved to death, there was a possibility of a plague outbreak.Once a plague breaks out, it is very contagious.In ancient times, medical conditions were limited, and there was generally no way to deal with the plague.

We can only focus on isolation and treatment, which will still cause many deaths.In times of peace and prosperity, it was better, and the country had food reserves that could be used to help the victims, but in troubled times...

In troubled times, the lives of ordinary people are actually the least valuable.

Gu Qinghuan had read history, so she was quite clear about these things, and immediately became a little worried.

"Then what should we do now?" Gu Qinghuan asked, "Do you want to help the victims?"

"Currently, such situations are mainly concentrated in the Hebei, Henan, and Gyeonggi generations. In the south, such as the Jiangnan generation, Zhejiang, and those places in the south, it still rains."

"The overall situation is not bad, but the generation of Nanjing Ji in Hebei and Hebei is in trouble. If it doesn't rain all the time, it is true that they have to open warehouses to release grain, and at the same time reduce taxes this year."

In Gu Qinghuan's memory, there should not have been any major disasters in the Kangxi Dynasty.Besides, judging from what Yinzhen said so far, it seems that it is not particularly serious.

It doesn't rain much in the north, but the south seems to be doing well, so that the whole country will not be affected by the disaster.Moreover, during the Kangxi Dynasty, the weather was smooth most of the time, and the court accumulated a lot of food.

"That's okay." After hearing this, Gu Qinghuan said, "Be at ease, maybe the situation will get better."

After hearing this, Xu Zhen nodded and asked about the child's condition recently.

Xinrou grows up day by day, and she is still as well-behaved as before.He is peaceful and sound when he sleeps, but occasionally he may cry a little when he wakes up in the middle of the night, and he is still a very obedient and lovely child.

"Xinrou is obedient, so I don't worry." Yinzhen said: "I still have some things to deal with here. If you are sleepy, go back and rest first. There are too many things in the mansion recently."

What Yinzhen said was actually about Aunt Yuehua.

Aunt Yuehua went to live in Zhuangzi alone after Yinzhen opened her teeth and built a mansion.Aunt Yuehua was an old nanny who took care of Empress Xiaoyi when she grew up, and later accompanied Yinzhen for many years.

Now Aunt Yuehua's health seems to be not very good. Gu Qinghuan occasionally travels between the Fourth Prince's Mansion and Zhuangzi. Recently, it has been a little hard. Fortunately, Aunt Yuehua's health seems to be improving.

When people get old, they are always prone to various problems.Gu Qinghuan let the doctor stay in Zhuangzi, and he can always keep an eye on Aunt Yuehua's situation.

"Then I'll go to rest first." After Gu Qinghuan finished speaking, he yawned.

After the beginning of March, spring returns to the earth.Although this year is already warm, but now that spring has begun, it feels like summer is coming.

In the afternoon, after Gu Qinghuan had just finished reading some things recently delivered by Zhuangzi, Ah Shuang came over and said that Fu Chaxue came over.

Fu Chaxue came here with something.A few days ago, she just went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and she seemed to bring some special products.Of course...the things on Zhuangzi in each mansion are similar.

What Fu Chaxue brings here is actually more of a kind of heart.

"Qing Huan, the hens on my farm have laid a lot of eggs recently."

Fu Chaxue said: "It's all fresh, I brought some here for you. Usually you are good at making egg custards. I don't know if your Xinrou can eat supplementary food now?"

"I heard that some children can eat some complementary food after half a year old. I don't know what kind of rice cereal, I don't know if custard can be eaten, but I thought, you should be able to eat it, so I gave it Bring some over."

"Xinrou hasn't started taking food supplements yet. But I remember your intentions."

Gu Qinghuan remembered that Fu Chaxue had just gone to Zhuangzi, so he asked, "I heard from Yinzhen that the situation in Zhuangzi is not very good recently, how is your place?"

"I went to the farm just for this." When Fu Chaxue heard Gu Qinghuan mention this, her expression changed involuntarily, and she said, "It hasn't rained recently, and the crops are going to die in the ground."

"Fortunately, there is a small lake nearby. I originally wanted to bring water from the lake to irrigate. But who knew that the water level of the lake has dropped a lot this year. It can be seen that... this year, the water is a little less. "
