God doesn't open his eyes, and the drought continues.

In the entire Guanzhong area, the vast majority of wheat is not irrigated.

The wheat in the field gradually dried up.

At this time, even if it rains heavily, it will not help.

People everywhere had to bring wheat to their homes.

But the wheat that was taken back was shriveled and shriveled.

There are many, not even a harvest.

This year's harvest is less than one-tenth of that of previous years.

One-tenth of the harvest, this day really can't survive.

For them, the harvest of previous years can only ensure that they can barely survive.

There are about a few months of the year, and you have to go hungry and eat only one meal a day.

Only when the farm is busy, only eat two or three meals.

And now, all at once, the harvest has dropped to a tenth.

They really can't live anymore.

In order to survive, many people began to sell their sons and daughters.

There are also tenant farmers who have no land at home, and they are even more tragic.

Tenant farmers, in their own hands, have no land.

They could only rent the land of the wealthy landlords to cultivate.

Pay a fixed amount of rent every year.

But this year, their harvest is not even enough for rent.

All the wheat harvested will be handed over, and the land rent of the wealthy families will be owed.

There is really no way, so they can only hand over their daughters or houses to those wealthy families as mortgages.

And they really can't survive.

I can only drag my family with my family, become a homeless, and go to those rich areas to survive.

Even many of the peasants began to flee.

Because the harvest of this grain is simply not enough for them to pay agricultural taxes.

Perhaps because of the disaster, the imperial court will reduce taxes.

But this little food is not enough for their family to live.

And they can only choose to flee.

Along the way, countless displaced people entered other states and counties.

And the states and counties outside Guanzhong began to get nervous.

Governments in various places are trying to resettle the displaced people.

On the other hand, they are strictly guarded.

Displaced people are a group of people who can't survive.

If one is not handled properly, something will happen.

If it is not handled properly, their officials are afraid that it will be the end.

There were also some victims who began to pour out of the imperial city.

In the imperial city, major families, major wealthy merchants, and various high-ranking officials and nobles have set up porridge sheds outside the door.

The Guanzhong region, as well as the various states and counties that relied on Guanzhong, asked the imperial court for disaster relief, and poured into the imperial city like snowflakes.

thought that there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and the entire imperial court was extremely nervous.

At this stage, the issue of disaster relief has become the top priority of the imperial court.

However, now the treasury is empty.

It also exposed a big scandal.

What's more, in the granary set up by the imperial court, there was still a lot of grain on the books.

Now, when it was time to mobilize food, I found that the granary was completely empty.

Or, it is the use of hay leaves to pass off as grain.

During the disaster relief, there was no food available!

Such a scandal completely angered Emperor Xia.

The officials who managed the granary were all arrested and put in prison.

It will only be heard after the disaster relief.

And above the court, Emperor Xia asked with a gloomy face: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time, there is a big drought in Guanzhong. ”

"The people in Guanzhong are waiting to be fed. Countless families have been ruined. ”

"How do we do disaster relief now? What are your good plans? ”

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and now the court is short of money and food, how to relieve the disaster?

In fact, if it is just money, the imperial court can still squeeze out some.

Although it is not enough to provide disaster relief, it can also solve a temporary emergency.

But the problem now is, you can't just have money.

You have to have more food.

And now, the price of food is rising again and again.

Don't think about it, the food must be backlogged in the hands of which families.

Without their cooperation, disaster relief would be a joke.

If you can't get food, what can you use for disaster relief?

Therefore, the emperor asked again and again, but there was still silence below.

Emperor Xia couldn't help but be angry and said: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while!" ”

"On weekdays, the court meeting is full of rhetoric and arguments!"

"Now that you've encountered a problem, you all pretend to be deaf and dumb, could it be that you can't be deceived?"

Emperor Xia's heartfelt words, the frightened ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize.

"The ministers don't dare, the ministers are afraid."

At this time, Xia Qing, the sixth prince, couldn't help but stand up and say: "Father, the sons are willing to donate all the family property for disaster relief. ”

Not only that, Erchen was willing to hold a fundraising event in the imperial city. Call on everyone to donate money and food, unite as one, and get through this difficult time together. ”

Hearing Xia Qing's words, Emperor Xia couldn't help but say: "Qing'er has a heart and knows how to share worries for her father!" ”

"Well, this is not a solution, but I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket!"

Hearing that Xia Qing was praised by his father, the eldest prince and the second prince showed resentment in their eyes.

The eldest prince couldn't help but say: "Father, the sixth brother is both civil and military, and he is very good. ”

"This time for disaster relief, why didn't my father let the sixth brother preside over it?"

The second prince immediately followed and said, "Yes, father! If the sixth brother becomes a chaser, he will definitely be able to raise more money and food, and he will be able to help the victims and tide over the difficulties. ”

And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the vast majority, were people from the faction of the eldest prince and the second prince.

Of course, their relationship may not be so strong.

But at least in such small things, they are willing to fall into the trap.

After all, if no one is a substitute for the dead, the dead are likely to be chosen among them.

"Weichen recommends His Royal Highness the King of Shu to serve as the disaster relief messenger!"

"Weichen recommended His Royal Highness the King of Shu to serve as the disaster relief messenger!"

……

Almost all the civil and military dynasties began to recommend His Royal Highness the King of Shu.

On the throne, Emperor Xia's face was a little gloomy.

Xia Qing, the king of Shu, Xia Huang still likes it more.

And leaving Xia Qing in the Imperial City was just an idle move by Emperor Xia.

But because of the appearance of Ye Guhong, this idle chess was actually revitalized all of a sudden.

If the development continues step by step, there is a lot to be done.

But now, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty forced the palace and let Xia Qing serve as the disaster relief messenger.

It's a thankless job.

If it is not done well and causes any accidents, it is very likely that you will end up in pieces.

Emperor Xia really didn't want Xia Qing to serve as this messenger.

But now the Manchu Dynasty is forcing the palace with civil and military forces, which makes it difficult for Emperor Xia to shirk.

In the end, Xia Huang threw the ball to Xia Qing himself.

"Qing'er, now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have recommended you as a disaster relief messenger, I don't know you, what do you have to say?"

Xia Qing couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Father, the child is stupid, but the child wants to share the worries and solve problems for the father." ”

"Since no one in the Manchu Dynasty is willing to take this position, the child is willing to take on this burden!"

"The child is willing to do his best, even if he is broken, he will not hesitate to do it!"
