Within a few days, the imperial court issued an edict allowing Xue Lang to ask for disaster relief with the autumn grain harvested this year!
The pressure of food suddenly went away, and Xue Lang's disaster relief was much easier. Organize all the people, the old and weak, women and children to stay in the city, responsible for cooking rice and boiling water, weaving sacks and other details, all the young and strong went to the embankment, flood fighting and rescue!
Xue Lang went directly to Xuzhou, the most severely affected by the disaster, and Suzhou was handed over to Jiang Lin. The two brothers joined forces, Jiang Lin deterred him with the army, Xue Lang treated the people with a government decree from the policy point of view, and gave both grace and power, for a time, the officials in Suzhou and Xuzhou, the people, no one dared to make trouble, the situation was greatly improved, and the government decree was carried out, which was quite smooth, and the whole country was united.
I don't know if I was moved by Xue Lang's benevolence, or because of the prestige of their greyhounds, grain merchants in Hangzhou, Yangzhou and other places actually donated thousands of stones of grain, and cloth merchants also donated a lot of cheap fabrics, which solved many of Xue Lang's urgent needs. Xue Lang directly ordered the names and surnames of these donation merchants to be engraved on the stone stele, which was erected in front of the south gates of Suzhou and Xuzhou.
In such a situation, no one dares to make any trouble. Everyone is doing their best to fight the disaster, when the flood peak came, Xue Lang inspected the river embankment more times, encouraging the soldiers and civilians guarding the river embankment, who wanted to help carry a few bags of sediment, but was directly taken away by the Xuzhou Thorn History.
By the time the flood peak receded, it had already entered the middle of August, which coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, Xue Lang couldn't even go home, and the pressure of post-disaster epidemic prevention was huge, so Xue Lang was already anxious that officials from all over the country had held several meetings, but not the flood was over, but he finally fell on the hurdle of post-disaster epidemic prevention.
Xue Lang just came back from a meeting, and someone came to report that someone from the Princess Mansion in Beijing had come!
Someone is coming as soon as the flood waters recede?!
Xue Lang was a little puzzled, but after coming out for more than half a year, he was very worried about his wife and children, so he hurriedly called someone to come-
"Pony!"
Princess Pingyang actually sent Rugui! Rugui cried when he saw Xue Lang: "Donkey! How did you lose so much weight? Didn't you take good care of the horses? Fortunately, the princess didn't see it, and if the princess did, I'm afraid she would be sad! Whining! ”
As he spoke, he cried first!
I haven't seen him for a long time, this is the first time I have seen a familiar person from Chang'an after the disaster, Xue Lang was very kind in his heart, took two steps forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Where are you who is not thin or dark when you sleep outside the wind and food?" It's okay, I'm born with white skin, and when this trip is over, it's good to go back to Beijing for a while. Rugui, you are from Jingshi, how is the princess? Is water slave good? What about Tannu? Isn't there a lot more to say? When I go back, I don't know if they will recognize me? ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and his eyes couldn't help but get wet. Shijun Zhilu took the worries of the king and led the king out of Beijing for disaster relief, he did his best, but he didn't see his wife and children for more than half a year, and he was really worried about it.
Rugui listened to Xue Lang's question, and his tears couldn't help but be more, and he tried to restrain himself, and replied: "Back to the horse, when he came, His Royal Highness instructed the old slave, and the old slave told the horse, everything is fine with the Jingshi, she and the little masters are good, the little lady and Xiao Langjun are now taller, stronger, healthy, less sick, and are a rare healthy baby in the clan. ”
When Xue Lang heard this, he couldn't help laughing even if he was still red, nodding while laughing, he was in a very happy mood, and asked Rugui: "Why did you come as soon as the flood receded?" Shouldn't the road be smooth now? ”
Rugui said: "Don't hide the horse, the old slave took people to Hangzhou by big boat, first went to Suzhou, knew that the horse was in Xuzhou, and brought people around, but, Xuzhou flooded, the road was not passable, so I had to wait in the neighboring states and counties, as soon as I received the news that the flood in Xuzhou was lifted, the old slave came with people!" ”
I see!
Xue Lang nodded, quite moved: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”
"These are what the old slave should do, how dare he be so praised as a concubine! The old slave is staying in the post house with good food and drink, how can he compare to sleeping in the open with a horse's wind and food, and fighting disasters and saving people? The horse didn't know, His Royal Highness thought that the mid-autumn was coming, the horse was fighting the disaster in Xuzhou, eating and sleeping well, Xuzhou had just passed the flood, and the materials were also lacking, so he ordered the old slave to bring a lot of fresh melons and fruits to the horse. However, the road in Xuzhou is not passable, the old slave can't get in, and the melons and fruits brought are also bad. Fortunately, the old slave was fortunate to live up to his life and finally sent a batch to the colt! ”
Boom!
Xue Lang screamed like this in his heart, embarrassed to shout in front of Rugui, only raised his hand to touch his chest, and choked up: "I know, I have worked hard for you!" I will taste these melons and fruits with my heart! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask about everything in Chang'an-
Is it good for Princess Pingyang to sit and lie down every day? But what's bothering her? Is it good to be a water slave and a sandalnut? What do you like to eat? What was played? Can the water slave begin to enlighten? Has the level of painting improved? How is the old saint? Are you in good health? Can you still eat two bowls of rice in one meal?
Wait, no matter how big or small, such as Gui Xu chattering to him, Xue Lang smiled, lowered his head and listened, heard the happy place, and laughed out loud, such a cheerful smile, since coming to Jiangnan, has not appeared, today, can be regarded as happy!
Rugui also brought a letter from Princess Binh Duong. Xue Lang waved away his subordinates and lit the lamp by himself to watch slowly. Her Royal Highness the Princess knew his reading level, carefully considered the words, wrote straightforwardly, tried not to avoid words, and rarely used fake words, lest he not understand.
Xue Lang looked at it carefully over and over again, saw the tears rippling, reluctant to let the tears wet the letterhead, directly lifted the sleeves and wiped it, the letterhead was reluctant to wrinkle, spread it smoothly, and finally, I couldn't help it, picked up the letterhead, and kissed it lightly on the letterhead.
The big ship couldn't get in, so Rugui asked people to use a small boat to bring the things that Princess Pingyang brought to Xue Lang, and they were brought in one by one. In addition to clothes, Xue Lang ordered people to divide food, especially fresh melons and fruits, into several portions, so that after Jiang Lin and Su Han sent some each, the rest were sent to the officials as a gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xue Lang only kept two baskets for himself, he didn't eat much, and after rewarding the first snow, Chang Jian, and ten thousand blessings, the rest was given to Yu Chi Baoqi and asked him to share it with the guards and sergeants. In the past, these things were quite ordinary, but after the disaster, they seemed unusual, after all, the post-disaster materials were relatively scarce, and the officials should be comforted for following him for so long.
Xue Lang was too busy, so he took the time to see Rugui for a while, and after letting him accompany him for a meal, he turned around and devoted himself to the complicated post-disaster management. When the flood receded, it was almost time for him to return to Beijing, and before returning to Beijing, he had to arrange the follow-up work.
Rugui stayed in Xuzhou for three days and then rushed back to Chang'an, he had been out for many days, and now he finally saw Xue Lang, of course, he had to go back immediately to inform Princess Pingyang Xue Lang of the situation here.
Xue Lang took the time to send him and asked Rugui to bring back a bunch of paintings, most of which he painted here, with all kinds of subjects, not limited to paintings made when he missed his wife and children, and various disaster-resistant scenes painted when he occasionally felt it.
Rugui ordered someone to take a wooden box and put it up, and on the way I couldn't help but take it out and look at it, and I couldn't help but be full of emotion and bitterness-
The colt has worked hard! Fortunately, the flood has receded, and after a few days, the horse will be able to return to Chang'an and reunite with His Royal Highness's family! Target No. 014- Mobile Reading Network is always looking forward to your return
