Chapter 857: Disaster Relief
Xue Jun was pulled by Fu Wenjing and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Why do you keep pulling me like this?" I've got to finish it! I was so miserable by him! ”
"The first time you met him, how did he hurt you? Don't provoke him! It's not good for you or the Xue family! Fu Wenjing whispered in Xue Junlan's ear.
Xue Junlan saw Long Xingche, who came in without knowing why, and said: "It's all his fault, he sent a useless locust relief official, the official doesn't know where to go, and the people in the hard-hit areas have no way to complain, and they can't eat." They gnawed all the bark and starved to death! ”
Only then did Fu Wenjing realize the seriousness of the problem, and turned her head to ask Long Xingche: "There was a locust plague this year, when did it happen?" ”
"What? Are you telling the truth? After Long Xingche heard Xue Junlan's words, the green tendons on his forehead exploded in an instant!
Xue Junlan pushed Fu Wenjing aside and pointed at Long Xingche mercilessly: "What am I lying to you for?" I took the silver and planned to open a rouge shop in the capital, but when I passed through Suizhou, the people there had nothing to eat because of the locust plague, and they all began to eat Guanyin soil hungry. ”
"I know there's a plague of locusts! When I got the report, I asked the officials there to distribute the food, did all the officials there hide the relief food and sell it privately? "After Long Xingche ascended the throne, there were locust plagues elsewhere in the Chen Kingdom, and a similar situation occurred. The ultimate reason was the smuggling of relief food by local officials.
Xue Junlan said that she was in a hurry, and walked directly to Long Xingche and argued with him!
"Even if the local officials sell grain privately, they have to have grain to sell! Because of the war, the grain in the granary of Suizhou was released by the governor of Suizhou, and the people ate it in a few days. I heard that it was reported again, but for so long, I haven't seen anyone transport grain to Suizhou for disaster relief! They were there waiting to die! ”
Long Xingche also became anxious after hearing Xue Junlan's narration: "Regarding the shortage of disaster relief food, I just heard Fu Wenxi's report the day before yesterday, so I immediately asked the household department to send someone to send it forward, haven't you arrived in Suizhou yet?" ”
"! When I passed there, I bought some grain from elsewhere with all my net worth and sent someone to Suizhou. Suizhou is about to run out of grain again, and I haven't seen a grain of grain you sent here! After Xue Junlan heard what Long Xingche said, and the situation she saw with her own eyes was so inconsistent, she didn't care about any rules, and directly started swearing!
"Junlan, you're crazy, you can't talk to him like this!" Seeing that Xue Junlan dared to scold Long Xingche, Fu Wenjing also became nervous!
She said it well, and she scolded it right! I'm going to check this out for myself! Long Xingche then turned around and went out!
"You escort Concubine Jing back to the palace, you follow me!"
After Long Xingche made a little arrangement, he rode a horse and left with Xia Zhiyu and a group of people.
"Your Majesty, where has this gone?" When Fu Wenjing came out, she saw Amber waiting there with her horse.
"Back to Niangniang, the emperor said that he would go to the household department to find out this matter in person, do we want to go back to the palace now?" Amber still has to do what Long Xingche tells her.
Fu Wenjing looked at the nearly thirty men in smart attire guarding the door outside, and then instructed Amber: "I'd better go back with the emperor!" I don't need so many people to protect me, I'm here to talk to my friends for a while, you send some more people to protect the emperor, I think he will need help! ”
Amber hesitated: "But this person was left by the emperor for you, if the servants sent them away, what if the emperor blames them?" ”
"The emperor didn't know my character on the first day, I just waited for the emperor here, and I didn't go anywhere. These people are surrounded by black pressure, which makes me feel bad! "Fu Wenjing really doesn't understand, obviously when she first came out of the palace, only she and Long Xingche were with amber, even if someone had to protect their safety, they wouldn't follow so many people!
Moreover, what made her very puzzled was how so many people were hidden in the market unconsciously and secretly!
Amber couldn't resist Fu Wenjing, so she only left about ten people to guard the door, and the rest were sent to Long Xingche to protect her safety.
Fu Wenjing and Xue Junlan stayed in the shop for a while, and after Xue Junlan's narration, they also learned the whole thing.
It turned out that after Xue Junlan learned about Fu Wenjing's current situation, she came up with the idea of opening a rouge shop in the capital, but just as she rushed to the capital with the money, she passed by Suizhou, and the people of Suizhou were shocked by the hungry and miserable life because of the locust plague!
The mountains were full of locusts, and the locusts ate everything they could eat, and the people could not walk because they were hungry, so they could only lie on the ground, and the children were crying with hunger!
Xue Junlan couldn't stand it, so she desperately bought a lot of rice from the next state and county because of the locust plague in Suizhou, and put it in Suizhou Prefecture. Let the local government be responsible for distributing it, but Xue Junlan also understands that the high-priced grain she bought is just a drop in the bucket for Suizhou, and it can't last for a few days!
Xue Junlan rode to the capital overnight and told Li Xiuwen about the situation in Suizhou. However, although Li Xiuwen is a second-class squire, he is also a fictitious official with no position and never goes to court. immediately informed Fu Wenxi of this matter, and asked Long Xingche to report it!
After Long Xingche learned about the locust plague in Suizhou, he immediately sent the minister from the household department to Suizhou with food and rushed to Suizhou for disaster relief. Long Xingche originally thought that this matter had come to an end, but he didn't expect that the truth was diametrically opposite to what he imagined!
Because Xue Junlan was not worried about the situation in Suizhou, she personally went over to take a look the day before yesterday, but found that the food she bought had been exhausted, but the imperial court did not take any measures.
Therefore, Xue Junlan, who had just rushed back this morning, couldn't help but scold Long Xingche after seeing him!
After listening to Xue Junlan's narration, Fu Wenjing calmly analyzed: "There must be some conspiracy in this?" I believe that the emperor will not sit idly by and ignore this matter, it is definitely the officials who are providing disaster relief that have a problem! I'll take a look at this matter too, and I'll come back to you later! ”
Fu Wenjing said, also came out of the shop, rode on the horse and said to Xue Junlan who ran out: "If this matter is not resolved, we will not return to the palace, you can rest assured!" Drive-"
Amber watched Fu Wenjing ride away, and shouted to the guards at the door, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and keep up, in case there is a mistake, which of you can afford it? ”
"Yes!"
The shadow guards who stayed behind also left after Fu Wenjing on horseback with Amber!
Although Xue Junlan saw that Fu Wenjing had also intervened in this matter, she still whispered with a worried face: "I hope that the people of Suizhou can hold out until you really solve the problem!" ”
