"Mr. Mingde's granddaughter? What are you looking for in Hongu? Shi Jiao'e frowned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She has been in a bad mood lately, but she has been suppressing herself and trying not to be affected by her emotions.

However, with the occurrence of the southwest flood, she had more and more trivial matters to deal with, and various accidents followed. The string in her head was so tight that it could break at any moment.

So, with a straight face and an expressionless face, this became Shi Jiao'e's only expression.

No matter who she faces, it's hard for her to smile.

"Minnu, I want to see my grandfather." The woman hesitated. She felt that Shi Jiao'e's attitude was very indifferent and didn't seem to treat her very well, so she just made a request without explaining the reason.

Shi Jiao'e nodded, and agreed.

She was tired, the kind of exhaustion that came out of her bones. It seemed like I was stiff all over, and only my brain was still working. I don't want to open my mouth, I don't want to raise my hand, I don't want to do anything, I just want to keep moving in a daze.

However, there are many things that have to be done.

Meet the owner of the grain store and contact all the grain merchants to meet. Let the grain merchants give porridge to the people, promise enough benefits to the grain merchants, and borrow grain from the grain merchants in the name of the imperial court. Unite with the owners of several grain farms, arrange for the victims to go to the village to harvest, and collect the grain that has fallen in the mud before it rots.

Today, there is a shortage of manpower in the grain farms, and there is a shortage of food for the victims. The two cooperate with each other to not only protect 80% of this year's harvest, but also solve the problem of food for the victims.

In addition, Shi Jiao'e also promised the owners of the grain farm that after the grain harvest was over, she would send all the people from the Ministry of Industry to help the tenants of the grain farm select seeds and raise seedlings, and seize the time to replant a season of autumn rice.

You know, autumn rice has just been successfully experimented. Now only Shi Shoufu and several ministers of the Ministry of Industry know the method, and they have only successfully planted on the Shi family's Zhuangzi.

The harvest of rice in autumn is not high, only about 60% of the harvest in summer. However, as long as the seeds can be replanted in time, even if it is only half of the summer harvest, the people can survive this winter.

Shi Jiao'e was so busy, and she didn't stop being busy for a moment. Meeting, negotiating, bargaining; Wooing, deterring, appeased, and luring with profit, and finally finalized a cooperation plan with the grain merchants.

She didn't shy away from Han Xin throughout the whole process, and kept her daughter by her side and let her watch how she handled it.

Even, she would deliberately mention points to let Han Xin understand her intentions at every step, so that she could understand the positions of those grain merchants and how to negotiate in order to get more common interests.

She is not simply asking grain merchants to donate grain, but so that both parties can profit. Only in this way will grain merchants not resist and will willingly help with disaster relief.

And this process is indeed a lot of hard work, almost racking your brains, and it also consumes countless tongues. Shi Jiao'e left the palace from early in the morning, and she didn't even use lunch, and was busy until the evening.

"With the help of these grain merchants, at least within two months, the victims will not have to starve to death." After Shi Jiao'e finished borrowing food, she sighed tiredly and looked in the direction of the city gate.

There, there are also countless victims, sitting on the damp mud floor. They are like reptiles, small and fragile, ready to die at any moment.

When will it be truly prosperous?

She still remembers that when she was a child, she was held on her shoulders by her father and watched the dragon dance in the bustling street market. At that time, the Great Gift was still in its prime, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment. Even the poorest peasants had huts to take shelter in.

But now, I don't have enough clothes and food......

Only those who have experienced troubled times can understand the value of peace. People in troubled times are even worse than dogs in prosperous times, and every step of life is extremely difficult.

"Mother, are we going back to the palace?" Han Xin asked cautiously.

For a whole day, she followed her mother and her relatives every inch, and watched her mother and the grain merchants deal with her, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

It turned out that her mother had done so many things in a place she couldn't see. For the victims of the flood, it has been so hard, so how hard should it be to be captured by the Northern Jin Dynasty?

"Mother, I think you're so tired, but I can't help much." Han Xin's little face was full of annoyance, and he sighed like a little adult and said, "I really want to grow up quickly......"

When she grows up, she can protect her younger brother.

When she grows up, she can help her mother share the pressure.

She had never been so eager to hope that she could grow up in a day. Then, I can become as powerful as my mother, to persuade grain merchants, to save the victims, and to use my own strength to change some things.

"Mother doesn't want you to grow up so quickly!" Shi Jiao'e half-squatted down, her expression softened rarely, touched the top of Han Xin's head and said, "If you grow up, your mother will also be old." My mother wants to stay with you for a few more years! ”

The two years she missed have always been a pain in her heart.

She has always wanted to compensate her children and give them more company.

She wants to spend a happy childhood with her children before they grow up. I also want to teach them everything my mother taught me as soon as possible, so that they can also learn to protect themselves.

However, there are too many things and too many changes. It was as if she had fallen into the torrent, and she had no time to adjust her state or swim to the river, so she could only go with the flow, struggling desperately in this rapid current, seeking a glimmer of life.

She's always wanted to do it, but she couldn't do anything. She's always wanted to change, but nothing can change. This deep sense of powerlessness made Shi Jiao'e exhausted.

Exhaustion, exhaustion.

From the limbs to the bone marrow, everything is soft. I really want to stop doing anything, lie down in bed and rest for a while, cry, sleep, and then everything is gone.

However, she couldn't stop, and she didn't dare to stop.

Behind her is an abyss, as long as she stops a little, she will fall to the bottom and never be able to turn over.

"Niangniang, Miss Lan wants to ask you when you will be able to see her grandfather. She couldn't wait. Wanxi suddenly walked over and asked in a low voice.

This Lan girl has been sitting in the carriage.

At first, it was quiet, but then it became less and less peaceful. I wanted to come over several times, and my expression seemed to be very anxious, and I didn't know what she was thinking.

She wants to see Mr. Matilda?

What's so important?

Even a woman like Wanxi, who has a calm temperament and is not curious at all, was aroused by her curiosity and came over to help her spread the word in person.
