Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi provinces are the most serious drought. Hubei, Gansu and Sichuan have been affected, but not as seriously as the previous four provinces.

Yuxi worked hard for the disaster, but Yan's life was just as hard. In Shanxi, Shandong and other places, dozens of memorials were presented to the capital every day, asking the imperial court for disaster relief.

Yan Wushuang, after reading a letter from Shanxi, threw it back to the desk and said to a group of ministers, "the common people in Shanxi, Henan and other places are almost out of grass and roots now, and some of them have begun to eat guanyintu."

Master Lu Er said, "this year's harvest in the south of the Yangtze River is good. We should go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy grain and transport it to the disaster area as soon as possible." This is a pertinent opinion.

Jiang Wenrui, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "there are only 980000 taels of silver left in the Treasury." Even if all this money is taken out, it will not help.

Among the six Shangshu, the most difficult one is Hubu Shangshu. Jiang Wenrui has been able to sit in this position for more than two years, and he is also very determined.

This word falls, other people all silent, disaster relief is to spend money, no money to take what disaster relief.

Yan Wushuang said: "the Northwest has been warned in advance that there may be drought this year, so they have stored a lot of grain. I'm going to send an imperial envoy to the northwest to borrow grain. Who would like to go? "

When they heard this, they all shrunk their heads. They had already got the news and knew that the granary in the northwest could not hold any more. But no matter how much food there is in Northwest China, it will not be lent to them.

After a while, Master Lu Er looked up and said, "Lord, the drought in Northwest China is also very serious. The imperial court may not be able to borrow food from them." No matter who is sent, he will not be appointed as the imperial envoy, so Master Lu Er is not worried.

Yan said without expression: "how can you know if you don't try? Who would be more suitable to send? "

The Minister of rites stood up and said, "Lord, I think it's most appropriate for the Korean public to borrow food. Although it is said that Han's father daughter relationship with South Korea has been severed, South Korea's father is his own daughter. "

Everyone felt that the Minister of rites was out of his mind. No one could send Han Jingyan. Princess Pingxi and Han Jingyan are enemies, not father and daughter.

Yan matchless cold face said: "who has a better candidate?" How dare Han Jingyan, a man who has accomplished more than he has failed, use it.

The Minister of the Ministry of official, Mr. Geng, looked at Jiang Wenrui and said, "Mr. Jiang is the uncle of Pingxi king, and his eldest son has made great achievements in Northwest China. I think Lord Jiang will go to borrow food, and the king of Pingxi will give him face. " The Minister of the Ministry of official and Jiang Wenrui did not deal with each other. They had been fighting openly and secretly for many years. It would be better to get rid of Jiang Wenrui this time.

Jiang Wenrui wanted to kill the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, but he looked the same and said, "Lord, since the death of the Yuns, I have been estranged from the Yuns. The king of Pingxi even thought that I had killed Yun. Every time he saw me, he was angry. If I were sent to the northwest, I would not only be unable to borrow food, but also offend the king of Pingxi. " In order not to go to the northwest, Jiang Wenrui is also fighting. He often conceals his family's ugliness, which is too late to cover up. He will take the initiative to expose himself.

Yan Wushuang said: "this time, you are going to the northwest to borrow grain on behalf of the imperial court. It doesn't involve personal enmity. Cloud engine acts honestly and will not embarrass you because of old things. "

Jiang Wenrui laments that he is not worried that Yunqing will kill him. After all, his eldest son is in the northwest. If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, you won't kill Yun Qing even if you look at Fu Ge'er's face. But others may not. It's a long way from the capital to the northwest, and it's not peaceful on the road. It's very likely that you will never come back.

The Marquis Taining stood up and said, "prince, I think it's improper to send the imperial envoy rashly to the northwest to borrow food. It will make the king and Princess Pingxi feel that the imperial court is trying to force them. In this way, it goes against our original intention. "

Yan Wushuang asked: "according to the meaning of Taining Hou, how to deal with this matter?"

Naturally, the meaning of Taining marquis is to borrow grain from Yunqing in the name of the imperial court. If Yunqing agrees, then send someone to transport the grain. If Yunqing doesn't agree, then nothing needs to be said.

Master Lu Er also agreed with Hou Taining: "in this way, even if the king of Pingxi did not agree to borrow grain, it would not damage the face of the court." People with normal brain know that it is impossible for Northwest China to lend food to the imperial court. Of course, Master Lu Er doesn't think Yan Wushuang's decision is wrong. Because he knew that borrowing food was only Yan's unique excuse, and he must have another plan.

Yan matchless thought and said, "that's what we'll do for the time being." Yan Wushuang deliberately proposed to borrow food from the northwest, in fact, to transfer part of the pressure.

Back at the palace, Meng Nian said a bad thing to Yan Wushuang: "Wang Ye, I just got a piece of news that someone stole potatoes from the ground and died. The doctor diagnosed that the man died after eating poisonous potato Liaodong is not affected by the drought, as in previous years. However, the people's life is hard, and many people are not satisfied. When I heard that potato could be eaten, I poached it.

Yan Wushuang said, "it's impossible. If the potato is poisonous, the people in the northwest have eaten it. How come none of them has been poisoned to death. "

Meng Nian also just got the news, and the specific situation is not clear: "Wang Ye, this is absolutely true, there will be no mistake. Mr. Wang, I'm worried that this potato is not suitable for planting in Liaodong? " Otherwise, why did the people in the northwest eat and die? Why did the people in Liaodong eat and die!

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "it's impossible. I haven't heard of any thing that becomes poison in another place. There must be some reasons we don't know."

After thinking about it, Yan Wushuang asked Meng Nian to ask Taiyi, "maybe they know the reason."

After understanding the details, he thought about it and said to Meng Nian, "this potato is not ripe yet, so it may be toxic. When it matures, it will not be toxic. But these are just my guesses. Whether this is the reason can be determined only after the potato is mature. "

Meng Nian was a little strange and said, "can immature potato be poisonous?" It's the first time he's heard anything like that.

"There are some plants like this," he said Now, Dr. Zhang just regards potato as a kind of medicinal material, not food.

Yan Wushuang heard Meng Nian's report and said, "I'm afraid that's the reason." It doesn't make sense that the food planted in the Northwest can be eaten, and the food planted in the east of Liaoning is poisonous.

Meng Nian asked about borrowing food: "Lord, why do you want to borrow food from the northwest?" He didn't know the impossible. How could the Lord not know!

Yan Wushuang said: "if we let these victims know that there is a lot of grain stored in the northwest, our pressure will be less." All the victims from Shandong and Shanxi are coming to the capital.

With that, Yan Wushuang passed a sneer on his face and said, "by the way, he also exposes Han Yuxi's mask of hypocrisy."

When Meng Nian heard this, he didn't say a word. It doesn't matter whether Han Yuxi is hypocritical or not. The important thing is that this move can really help them transfer a lot of pressure.

In the name of the emperor, the letter to borrow food from the northwest did not reach Yuxi and Yunqing. This letter first came to General Liu Yongnan. After reading it, Liu Yong scolded directly: "son of a bitch, how about borrowing food? The emperor's children and Yan's brains are all in water, aren't they? " Now that the northwest is suffering from a severe drought, even if the imperial court doesn't provide relief, it's beautiful to think that they still want their food in the northwest!

Subordinates said: "general, how to deal with those people?" Knowing the content of this letter, no one is not angry. None of these dog officials is good.

Liu Yongnan said, "kill me." The officers and men from Yucheng are disgusted with the imperial officials. Because they have suffered too much from these people.

With that, Liu Yongnan burned the emperor's letter directly. Then I wrote it down in the fold, and half an hour later I was sent to pick city.

Seeing Liu Yongnan's fold, Yuxi sneered, handed it to Yunqing and said, "I know we won't borrow food. I sent a letter from the emperor. He meant to answer us!" Liu Yongnan dares to burn the emperor's letter, knowing that Yunqing and Yuxi will not borrow food.

Yunqing is also tired of Yan unparalleled now. It is true that their husband and wife have stored a large amount of grain, but the northwest is also the hardest hit area. These grains are the foundation of stabilizing the northwest. The imperial court wants their food, next life! Cloud engine said: "don't pay attention to this madman."

But Yuxi said with some worry: "we can ignore Yan Wushuang. But the people in Shanxi and Henan who have been affected by the disaster will surely come to the northwest by then. "

"They can't get into the northwest," Yunqing said All the border towns have been closed. It is more difficult to enter the northwest through the barrier than to reach the sky.

Yuxi said in a hoarse voice: "in Yang Duoming's letter, there has been a phenomenon of cannibalism in Henan. Although it's only a few now, I'm worried that it will continue, and that will become the norm by then. "

Yun Qing said calmly, "I won't let such a tragedy happen in Northwest China." They did a lot of preparatory work, and many people died in Linzhou and Yanzhou during this period. The people in the Northwest can not be saved, and the victims in Henan and Shanxi can not be managed.

Thinking about the coming flood, Yuxi said in a low voice: "God really doesn't give people a way to live!" Yuxi felt that she had lived in vain in her last life. She didn't know about such a big drought. She only knew that there were floods in the south of the Yangtze River. If she knew there was such a big drought, she would have done more preparation.

In fact, Yuxi was not to blame for this, mainly because of the special situation at that time. Those who fled were from other provinces, speaking in dialect. Even the flood in the south of the Yangtze River was heard from a little boy who could speak Mandarin.

Yunqing patted Yuxi on the shoulder and said, "no, we can get through this."

Yuxi said in a voice, "yes, we can certainly get through this difficulty." She can't manage the people in Jiangnan and Henan, but she will try her best to minimize the casualties of the people in Northwest China.
