Zhou Jiao looked at the whale, thought about it again, and then smiled helplessly.

When people are hungry, they can even eat Guanyin soil, why can't they eat kun?

Dengzhou has opened up a trade route for seafood, and is gradually becoming rich, and when the money earned from selling fish is accumulated, it can be used to control the saline-alkali land, and the people of Dengzhou can be completely free of food and clothing.

To be honest, this is another big credit, but he is no longer ready to receive this credit. The credit accumulated during this period of time was enough for him to digest and precipitate for a while.

As long as the stomachs of the victims in the west are fed, he can leave with peace of mind.

As for the next credit, it is his gift to the next one.

"That being the case, then the lower officials won't talk much, protect the country, and the lower officials still have to sort out the documents about disaster relief, so they will be lost first."

Leng Feng nodded and let Zhou Jiao leave.

Zhou Jiao is an orthodox scholar, and they don't like the scene of slaughter and dismemberment very much, so they should avoid it if they can.

After sending Zhou Jiao away, Leng Feng took the soldiers to continue to the sea to see if he could meet another whale, if there were no whales, it would be good to use three ironclad ships to catch fish. Ironclads do not have to rely on the power of the wind and can cast their nets to catch fish to the maximum extent possible, much more than fishermen's small wooden boats.

After hunting four or five whales, Leng Feng learned that the reserves of sea fish were enough.

As long as you get through this most difficult time, the relief from the granary on the Chang'an side will arrive. After several years of bumper harvests, especially after high-yield harvests, Datang has sufficient grain and grass reserves.

This is still on the premise that agricultural taxes have been reduced a lot!

Under such circumstances, not only will there be a famine in some parts of the country, but the disaster relief will be able to be properly carried out, even if the border is in an emergency, and there will be no worries about grain and grass for the time being.

At the same time, because of the abundance of grain and grass, the formal army of the Tang Dynasty gradually increased more than the government soldiers, which means that they will be replaced after more than ten or twenty years.

After all, compared to the government soldiers who are engaged in agriculture in their spare time and have mixed good and bad qualities, the formal army can better concentrate training and maintain combat effectiveness all the time.

Most of the whale meat was transported to the western part of Dengzhou for disaster relief, and before the grain from Chang'an arrived, the people's stomachs had to be fed.

Originally, the occurrence of such a natural disaster with food rations being cut off or even a few days would inevitably cause turmoil among the people.

But this time it didn't.

Because not only was the Dengzhou Thorn Shi busy ordering the fishermen on the seashore to catch fish and temporarily provide them with relief, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought some grain from Laizhou and distributed it to them for food.

That's right, at this time, Li Chengqian, because he heard about the disaster and famine in Dengzhou, deliberately went to Laizhou, near Dengzhou, to mobilize some grain and transport it to Dengzhou for relief.

Under Li Chengqian's arrangement, officials such as local county magistrates took action to organize people to set up soup kitchens, and as long as anyone went to eat at the soup kitchen, whether or not he was about to collapse from hunger, they would give them porridge to eat.

After randomly inspecting a soup kitchen to ensure that the officials did not delay their official work and did not use shoddy goods, Li Chengqian was relieved.

Looking at the people waiting in line quietly outside the soup kitchen, Li Chengqian said to Di Renjie beside him, "Huaiying, in fact, we are still deceived by the prosperity of some big state capitals. Although people in many places have food reserves at home, these are only places where the location is good, the yield is high, and corn and potatoes are grown. In such a poor mountain and bad water like the western part of Dengzhou, the people are still vulnerable to natural disasters! ”

Di Renjie looked around and made sure that Wu Mei was not there before saying, "Actually, it's just a matter of time, Master said that no matter where there is no shortage of means to make a living, it's just that the people haven't discovered it yet." Just like the beach in Dengzhou, they don't make a lot of money selling fish! ”

Di Renjie is most tired of Wu Mei, obviously a little woman, but she likes to get along with him, as long as he says something, this woman will definitely raise a bar with him.

Even if he is right!

Li Chengqian nodded: "That's true!" In the past, I have always lamented Master's method of making money, but after getting along with Master for a long time, I realized that Master's way of making money is just a little deeper than others.

Moreover, I have found that students who have been taught by the Faculty of Letters, especially those who have been taught in subjects such as physics, can always find a good way to make money. Didn't the students who were assigned to Jingbei Province organize herdsmen to sell cheese and other things to the Central Plains? Originally, I thought that their things would not sell well, but I did not expect that peasant families above the middle level could still buy some for the elderly and weak children.

All this is just that they say that eating cheese can nourish the body. ”

"yes!"

Di Renjie nodded and took the lead, and then shook the small crossbow hidden at his waist.

For he saw an old man coming with a bowl of porridge.

Today, he and the prince are investigating in makeup, and there are no guards by their side, so he will be responsible for protecting this senior brother.

No way, who calls someone the prince!

The old man approached Li Chengqian and Di Renjie, and after seeing that they were also dressed in tattered clothes and their faces were also very embarrassed, he handed over the porridge bowl

"Afterborn boy, what's wrong? Can't pull down your face to receive relief? You are growing old, you can't go hungry, come, let's share this bowl of porridge! Just like the old man borrowed you! ”

Li Chengqian was a little surprised, he didn't expect that in such a situation where the whole people were affected by the disaster, there were still people who wanted to share food with others.

Di Renjie stepped forward, faintly protected Li Chengqian behind him, and said to the old man, "Old man, we are not hungry, you are so old, you can't be hungry, you should drink!" ”

The old man took out a dirty clay bowl from his bosom, poured most of the porridge into it, and said as he poured, "Look, it's still hard-mouthed." I know you feel embarrassed, but since we ordinary people are Tang people, why are we embarrassed to accept the relief from the imperial court?

Old man, I have already buried half of my body, and it is nothing to starve to death, you are growing up, look at your tall stature, you can't forget the kindness of the court when you grow up, you should join the army or something, don't be a coward. ”

Listening to the old man's words, Li Chengqian and Di Renjie were shocked.

They didn't expect that an ordinary old man would say such a thing.

Shandong, since ancient times, has been a place where heroes compete for deer, and too many people have died in battle on this land. Especially after the dispute at the end of the Sui Dynasty, many villages here have become old and weak women, but there is no strong man.

It can be said that the people here hate war the most. However, it was such a place, an old man who must have experienced the turbulent years completely, actually persuaded them to join the army!

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and pulled Di Renjie aside, but at this time, he didn't know what to say, so he could only take the porridge bowl handed over by the old man in a daze.
