Winter came earlier than usual.

Within a few days of winter, heavy snowfall began in the north, and the blizzard was overwhelming, and the grain that had not yet had time to be harvested was covered with heavy snow and frozen, and the life of the people became very difficult.

Heavy snow has been falling for more than a month, and the people have been complaining for days, and in some severely affected areas, the people have to go out of the mountains and beg all the way south for a chance to survive.

When a catastrophe strikes from heaven, there will be a national disaster.

It seems that overnight, there are many ragged foreigners in Shengjing City.

The wheels rolled over the snow and moved slowly, An Ruolan rolled up the corner of the curtain and looked out, and she couldn't help frowning when she saw a woman begging with a young child on the side of the street.

"Don't look at it, such people are everywhere now, and it's just a matter of sadness when you see them." Wei Shao sighed and lowered the curtain she had rolled up.

An Ruolan sighed and shook her head, and said: "The so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, there are many unequal things in this world. ”

They were on the way back home after attending the banquet, thinking back to the luxury and liveliness of the banquet, compared with the bleak scenes they saw now, Rao is An Ruolan did not have so many cynical feelings, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Shao also sighed and said: "We just need to do what we can, I am worried about the disaster and the war at the same time, and at such a critical juncture, King Gong will take the opportunity to do something." ”

An Ruolan solemnly bowed, it seems that God is helping King Gong, with this snow, King Gong has a justifiable excuse to reduce military supplies, and the war in the northwest will definitely be tight.

The Hu people went west and north of Dayong. The territory is arc-shaped, half of which is connected to the west of Dayong and half to the north. Across the entire northwest, the two armies have been fighting for a year, and the battlefield has been moving north from the west, and now it has reached the northwest. And once the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, this balance will be broken, and the winner will soon be divided.

The brow is furrowed. An Ruolan finally sighed and said, "Let's not think so much, it's only right to protect ourselves, only we are safe and sound." The father and the guard can have no worries. ”

Now they can do it. Only to protect yourself, as well as wait.

Although I feel powerless, there is no other way.

Wei Shao nodded and said, "Ruolan, let's go to the city gate to give porridge tomorrow, at the moment of national disaster, we should also do what we can." ”

An Ruolan nodded in agreement and said, "That's exactly what I mean." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Early the next morning. An Ruolan and Wei Shao took the family members of Weiguo Mansion and moved three cauldrons and dozens of bags of grain to the city gate to give porridge. The cold wind was fierce, and the poorly clothed victims lined up to receive food, and everyone who drank the hot porridge could not help but burst into tears and gratitude.

An Ruolan and Wei Shao looked at each other, and their eyes were red.

Wei Shao said: "Let's come back in a few days." ”

An Ruolan looked at the mother who was reluctant to drink the porridge and left the porridge for the child, and felt a lot in her heart, and said: "It's not a way to go on like this, you have to let everyone have a way to make a living." ”

Wei Shao thought for a while and said, "Indeed, I'll go back and ask my mother, see if the Wei family's factory and store are still short of manpower." ”

When she said this, An Ruolan also took it into account, and said: "Then I'll also ask Mr. Yi, isn't there a big pharmaceutical factory in the Northeast, there has always been insufficient manpower, and this time it may be just right to fill it." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, both happy to think of a way.

It was not only An Ruolan and Wei Shao who were worried about the victims, but at noon, the concubines of the Murong clan rushed over with a stack of winter clothes from the Wenxin Marquis' Mansion.

Both sides looked at each other, were stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

An Ruolan asked, "Why did my mother and aunts come over?" ”

When Murong saw the cauldron behind her, he was indescribably relieved, and said with a smile: "You also know that your grandmother eats fasting and recites Buddha, she takes pity on the people affected by the disaster, and let us go to various households to collect some old winter clothes and send them over, although they are all worn, it is better than nothing." ”

An Ruolan nodded in agreement, and she recognized some of the old clothes of the maids of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion.

While talking here, the other side has begun to distribute winter coats.

The victims of hunger and cold, who could barely survive, were so grateful that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted for the Bodhisattva.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of everyone present were sour.

The behavior of the Weiguo Mansion and the Wenxin Marquis Mansion infected other families in Shengjing, and everyone made a strong contribution and had the money to help the victims build sheds outside the city, so that the victims had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Without waiting for An Ruolan to look for it, Mr. Yi came to the door first, and his first words were: "We are proud of you." "It's a surprise to say An Ruolan.

Zhong Siye heard about An Ruolan's actions in the northwest and said that he would support him to the end, and Mr. Yi was instructed by him to come over to arrange for the victims to go to the Northeast Pharmaceutical Factory to do things.

Mr. Yi also said: "Not only Shengjing has disaster victims, but also other towns, relying on the strength of a few families, it is impossible to settle all the victims, so the fourth master intends to mobilize all the rich and noble families of Dayong to take silver and cultivate fruit forests and farmland in the mountainous areas in the south, and the silver invested in the early stage will be used to hire the disaster victims." The south is a rich place, where the mountains and rivers are good, and crops can be grown in winter, and I believe that many wealthy merchants will be willing to pay. ”

After hearing this, An Ruolan was very excited and said, "Sure enough, it is the father-in-law and Mr. who have thought it through!" ”

This can be said to be a foolproof strategy, not only to help the victims, but also to curb King Gong's conspiracy, as long as the victims are properly arranged, King Gong will not be able to reduce military supplies on the grounds of disaster relief!

Mr. Yi looked at her with a smile and said, "Now is not the time to make a fool of yourself, we have to get things done as soon as possible." ”

An Ruolan nodded like pounding garlic.

The two acted separately, An Ruolan went to inquire about the intentions of the victims, and Mr. Yi ran around the house of the rich family to lobby everyone to contribute.

Many of the victims knew her and trusted her, and when she mentioned this matter in the shack area where the victims were temporarily staying, the victims responded one after another and expressed their willingness to follow her arrangement.

An Ruolan also selected a few capable and reliable people, gave them silver, and asked them to spread the news to other towns so that other victims could know. Mr. Yi asked the caravan under the name of He Ji to spread the news, and also asked other merchants to carry the news out of Shengjing and to various towns in Dayong.

In this world, there is evil and good, when King Gong disregarded the people's livelihood and suffering, waiting for the disaster to be more serious, so as to reduce military supplies in the name of disaster relief, He Ji wanted to hire the disaster victims, and the news of cultivating fruit forests and farmland in the south spread far and wide, and more and more disaster victims poured into Shengjing City, waiting for the day when they would have food and clothing, and pick up a hoe to work.

At this time, on the northwest border, Zhong Siye sold medicinal materials to the Hu people at a price twice as high as ordinary medicinal materials, and pit the Hu people one after another, but the Hu people still dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, because they needed these medicinal materials, and only Zhong Siye could bring them.
