Chapter 1231: See Natural Disaster Again
When Yunqing entered the tent, he saw Qi Hao lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Yun Qing touched Qi Hao's still slightly red face, and said with a smile: "After being on the grassland for so long, it hasn't turned black at all, and I don't know who it looks like." "Yuxi's skin is white and delicate, but as long as he is exposed to the sun, it will turn black, and as for him, he has never been white at all. So Brother Hao'er's tanned skin really doesn't know who he looks like.
Before, he was worried about his son's delicate and fair skin, but this time he brought Brother Hao out, and he didn't see anyone mention it, so he was relieved. As long as the son has the ability, it doesn't matter whether the skin is white or black.
Yi Kun walked in, stood beside Yunqing and whispered, "Lord, the princess has a letter delivered." ”
Brother Hao happened to turn over at this time, with his back to Yunqing. Yun Qing smiled and covered him with a blanket and walked out.
After reading Yuxi's letter, Yunqing's expression was a little solemn.
Yi Kun was a little strange and asked, "Lord Wang, but what happened to Ho City?" If it weren't for the accident in Ho Cheng, Yun Qing wouldn't have been able to look like this.
Yunqing shook his head and said, "No." Many places in Shanxi, Henan and other places have been hit by drought, and the harvest has been greatly reduced. "In addition, the area of Hebei near Shanxi has also been hit by drought, and thousands of refugees are now flocking to Shanxi. Yuxi has already ordered Liu Yongnan to guard the city gate and not allow the refugees to enter. It's not that Yuxi is ruthless, it's that they can't accommodate so many refugees for the time being.
Only then did Yi Kun understand why Yunqing's face was so ugly. Once there is a natural disaster, not only will there be no harvest, but the government will also have to provide disaster relief, which is not a small cost. They have just fought another big battle, and I am afraid that there is no money in the official treasury.
After thinking for a while, Yi Kun asked: "Lord Wang, what about Jiangnan? The harvest in Jiangnan should not be bad, right?" If the harvest in Jiangnan is good, there will also be grain relief.
Yunqing said: "There has been too much rain in Jiangnan this year, and the yield has also been reduced, and the harvest is more than 20% less than last year. "Fortunately, there was no flood like nine years ago, and there was no harvest. If that were the case, they wouldn't know where to go to raise food.
Yi Kun said: "This is really a roof leak that happened to rain overnight. "Several provinces have been hit by disasters, but Jiangnan, which produces grain and cultivates land, has reduced its production, which is not unlucky.
Yun Qing didn't think so: "It's lucky, after all, the war in the Northern Invasion is over." "If the war has not started yet, I am afraid that the war will be postponed again.
Yi Kun thinks so.
Zao Zao lay on the bed and muttered, "I don't know when Dad will come back." "Because the injury is relatively deep, although the wound is scarred, just in case, Zao Zao still has to sleep on his stomach, and he doesn't dare to lie down.
In fact, jujube can walk around now, but it's too hot outside, and she is sweating as soon as she walks. You can't take a cold shower too much, and it's easy to catch a cold if you wash too much. Before, because I didn't pay attention, I was infected with a cold, and I vomited and diarrhea, and suffered a big sin. After suffering so much, Zao Zao didn't dare to come by temperament.
Qiu He held the jujube and said, "I want to come to the prince, who is already on the way back." County Lord, when the prince returns, you will be able to return to Ho City with you. "It's much hotter here than Pickaxe City, and Zao Zao has suffered a great sin during this time. In the past two months, I have lost a lot of weight. When the prince and the princess meet, they will definitely die of distress.
Zao Zao thought about going home, and said depressedly: "If I go back this time, I will definitely be ridiculed by Brother Rui and them." "Such a good opportunity, but unfortunately I didn't do anything because of the injury, it's too shameless.
Qiu He said helplessly: "What the county lord said about it? The county lord can be safe, the second young master, it's too late for them to be happy, how can they laugh at you?"
Well, Zao Zao admitted that she couldn't pass the level in her heart: "When I came out, I told my mother that I must make a great contribution this time, but the result was ......"
Qiu He felt that it was unreasonable for the jujube to be entangled in these at all: "Could it be that in the mind of the county lord, the princess doesn't care about your safety and health, but only cares about whether you have made meritorious contributions?"
Zao Zao shook his head and said, "That's not it, I'm just afraid that my mother will be disappointed." Her mother paved the way for her, but she was not angry.
Qiu He didn't dwell on this topic with Zaojube, but changed the topic: "County Lord, you said that if the second young master of the Wu family knew that you were injured, would he be very anxious?"
In this regard, Zao Zao is still very confident: "He must be in a hurry." But maybe he didn't know about my injuries at all!" her mother might not tell Wu Jinyu about this.
Qiu He said: "Even if the princess doesn't tell him, can't he inquire? If he doesn't inquire, he can only say that he doesn't care about the county lord and doesn't care about the county lord." ”
Zao Zao said: "I can feel it, he likes me too!" So Wu Jinyu must know about her injury.
Qiu He has been by the side of Zao Zao for many years, and her face is thicker than that of ordinary girls. There's no way, if you're not thick-skinned, you won't be able to bear it at all! Qiuhe said: "County Lord, just say it in front of me, but you can't say it in front of outsiders." When outsiders hear it, they will feel that the county lord is very self-respecting! When the time comes, it will be the face of the prince and the princess that will be lost!"
Zao Zao remembered what Yuxi had told her, and said, "What about you and me two hundred and five? Qiu He is her confidant, so she didn't take care of it.
Xia Zhi lifted the curtain and walked into the house, and said, "County Lord, Yin Escort asks to see you." "Yin Zhaofeng won't enter the house if it's okay.
Yin Zhaofeng brought good news to Zao Zao: "County Lord, I just got the news that the prince has already set off on the way back to Yucheng three days ago, and he should be able to arrive in about half a month." ”
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally looked forward to it. If she doesn't come back, she can't help but go back by herself.
Zao Zao asked, "What did you ask about before, how did you inquire about it?" Not long ago, I heard a rumor that her father was injured. Zao Zao couldn't rest assured, so he asked Yin Zhaofeng to inquire and see if the news was true.
Yin Zhaofeng shook his head and said, "I haven't heard any news about this. County Lord, this should just be a rumor. If the prince was really injured, this battle would not have been so smooth. "In order to stabilize the morale of the army, even if the prince is injured, he must hide it to death.
Seeing Zao Zao frowning, Yin Zhaofeng said: "County Lord, since there is news from the front that the prince is already on the way back, then the prince must not be in the way." It's really hurt, but it can't stand the bumps. ”
Zao Zao was still not at ease, and said, "I hope it's okay." "Don't look at her mother, but the real pillar of the family is his father, if his father has a bad pool, I'm afraid her mother will not be able to hold it first. The last time her father was unconscious, his mother almost didn't hold on.
Yuxi was also busy at this time. It is necessary to collect grain and grass from Jiangnan to Shanxi and Henan for disaster relief, and to deal with post-war affairs, as well as a bunch of government affairs to be taken care of. At this time, Yuxi really longed for twenty-four hours a day.
At dinner that night, Yuxi did not appear at the table. Brother You asked Mama Quan with some concern: "Mama, what has my mother been busy with lately? Why don't you even have time to go back to the backyard to eat?"
Quan Mama said: "The following provinces have been affected by disasters, and the princess has been busy with disaster relief recently, so she has no time to come back for dinner. ”
Brother You asked, "Does that mother have a meal?"
Quan Mama said with a smile: "Don't worry, this fourth young master, I have already asked Banxia to send the food over." After a pause, Mama Quan said: "The princess is not idle during this time, second young master, you must be obedient and obedient, and you can't let the princess worry about it anymore." ”
Brother Rui was the first to say: "Mama rest assured, we will obediently listen to the words of Mr. and Master, and we will not let my mother worry about it." ”
Quan Mama praised: "They are all good children." ”
Yuxi was busy until midnight that day, dragging her tired body back to the backyard, sitting on the chair, she didn't want to get up.
Quan Mama said: "The water has been prepared, let's go take a bath!"
While taking a bath, Yuxi couldn't help but sigh.
Mama Quan asked, "Good and dignified, what are you doing with a sigh?" Even when it was difficult, Yuxi never sighed.
Yuxi said: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are all suffering from the common people. "Man-made disasters refer to war.
Quan Mama said: "When the prince calms down the world, the people will no longer have to suffer from the war." "As for natural disasters, this is something that cannot be changed by man, and there is nothing to say.
Yuxi said: "Liu Yongnan said that tens of thousands of displaced people have gathered on his side. But we are too busy to take care of ourselves, how can we let them in. "If it's just tens of thousands of displaced people, it can be settled. But the problem is that once this opening is opened, other displaced people will flock to it. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of displaced people, how can she be resettled. Moreover, there are nearly a million people in need of relief under their rule.
Quan Mama said: "It's okay to settle the disaster victims under our rule, the disaster victims over there are Yan Wushuang's business." ”
Yuxi smiled bitterly and said, "I just want to help them, and I can't do anything now." "If Yunqing hadn't sent troops to the north or Shanxi and other provinces hadn't caused disasters, she would still have the energy to resettle some of the victims. But things are all together, she just has the heart and the ability to help.
Quan Mama persuaded: "Don't think about it, they are not the people under our rule." If you want to worry about it, you have to worry about Yan Wushuang. ”
Yuxi still doesn't know this truth: "Just thinking of the displacement of these disaster victims and the lack of food, I can't say how sad I feel in my heart." "She's been through all of this, so it's very touching.
has been by Yuxi's side for so many years, how can Mama Quan not know that Yuxi is not a person who is overflowing with compassion. But for these refugees, Yuxi seems to be very pitiful.
Quan Mama said: "That can't be helped. If you want to blame, blame God for not giving people a way to live. ”
Yuxi smiled bitterly: "In fact, even if they are not affected by the disaster, many people in Hebei and Shandong will not have enough food and clothing. "Yan Wushuang is also a promising emperor, but he has to raise an army of millions, which is a huge expense. Where does the money come from? Naturally, it comes from the people.
In fact, Yuxi was able to reduce taxes and exempt various tax items from complicated names, also because their husbands and wives had good financial luck. Over the years, they have found gold and silver mines, and they have also made several huge sums of money. Otherwise, such frequent wars will certainly bring a heavy burden to the common people. Of course, it's not without a little trouble. So many people died in the war, and all of them died in young adults, which is very detrimental to future development.
Quan Mama said with a smile: "When the prince calms down the world, then the princess will let them be fed and clothed, and live a life of peace and contentment." She felt that Yuxi would definitely be able to do it.
Yuxi hummed and said, "At that time, this will also be my business." Since she sits in this position, she naturally wants to let the people live a good life.
Mama Quan looked at Yuxi, who looked tired, and said, "Princess, you also have to take care of your body, don't get tired." ”
Yuxi smiled and said, "It's okay, this little thing doesn't tire me yet." Besides, just wait for the prince to come back. "Yunqing is here, and I can solve the problem with her.
Speaking of Yunqing, Quan Mama said with a smile: "The prince destroyed the Northern Captivity this time, which has stabilized people's hearts even more. "Yunqing's prestige has reached a new height because of the destruction of the Northern Captivity. And under the operation of Yuxi, the name of Yunqing God of War has spread all over the world.
Yuxi didn't show a smile, but said: "The matter of the northern captivity has been solved, and now there is still the capital left." "It is not easier to attack the capital than to fight the northern captivity.
"I thought I left the capital thirteen years ago and would never go back. Who would have thought that she would have to go back one day!
Yuxi laughed when she heard this: "Mama said as if the capital has been captured by us?"
Quan Mama said with a smile: "The prince has even destroyed the fierce northern captives, and Yan Wushuang is naturally not a problem." ”
Yuxi shook his head and said, "You can't be complacent just because you have won a few big battles, and you have no one in your eyes. Zhou Fei, who guarded Hebei, and Lou Qingyun, who guarded Shandong, were both generals who had made great achievements in Liaodong. In the capital, there are also many famous generals. If you want to capture the capital, you must have a fierce battle. ”
Hearing this, Quan Mama asked in surprise: "Doesn't the princess have confidence?"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't have confidence. However, Yan Wushuang is more difficult to deal with than the northern captives, and if he wants to take the capital, he will definitely have to pay a great price. With Yan Wushuang's mind and ability, if she hadn't taken the lead, they might not have had the upper hand now.
Mama Quan knew what Yuxi meant, and many people would definitely die in this battle. Quan Mama said: "No matter what you do, you have to pay the price, and when you calm the world, the people will no longer have to suffer from war." In the big picture, that's a good thing. "Which change of dynasty is not blood and tears. Relatively speaking, Yunqing and Yuxi are quite smooth.
Yuxi said: "This year's disaster is not suitable for another war within three years. "The government's treasury is fine, and her private treasury is about to be emptied. Without money, this battle cannot be fought.
Mama Quan's thoughts were different from Yuxi's: "Our side suffered a disaster, and Yan Wushuang's side is not much better, and even, they are more difficult than our side." ”
Yuxi hummed and said, "Not to mention Hebei and Shandong, I'm afraid that the capital will not be peaceful." "If you can't survive, there is only one way to rebel.
