Chapter 327: Command
When Ah embroidered the confinement child, the imperial court issued an edict to the world to raise food for the disaster area.
It's just that half a year has passed since the disaster, and even if the grain in the hands of those merchants has been almost consumed, there is no surplus grain to sell to the imperial court.
The recital about the disaster floated like snowflakes on Emperor Zhuang Wen's desk, and bandits and riots were rampant in various places, and the situation was extremely unstable.
After a few days in a row, the court punished more than a dozen officials, and Emperor Zhuang Wen asked Jiang Peng to lead 5,000 troops to Huxi to suppress the bandits and quell the chaos.
The food crisis is the root of the problem.
At this time, Song Yushi, who had been leading the team for more than a month, sent back his first recital since taking office.
The content of the chapter is very long, from the situation of the state capitals, the general situation of the granary, the public opinion, the fundamental conditions for solving the problem, and put forward two water conservancy plans, diverting rivers to irrigate fields, building canals, draining water from waterlogging, and diverting water from drought.
Emperor Zhuang Wen was very relieved to see the recital, and scolded the people below for being waste.
At this time, Lord Hu hurriedly entered the palace to ask for a meeting, saying that someone was willing to donate 100,000 quintals of grain to the imperial court for disaster relief.
Emperor Zhuang Wen was overjoyed, and when he heard that the donor was the wife of the Song Imperial Official, his intuition was inexplicable.
Master Hu explained: "At the beginning of last year, Zhuo's family co-opened several granaries, which were originally engaged in the grain and oil business, but this year when they heard about the disaster, they saved the grain, and also collected rice and grain everywhere to donate to the imperial court to save the people of Limin. It is a great righteousness. ”
Before Emperor Zhuang Wen could say anything, the elderly Lord Hu praised the person first, and was so moved that he was about to cry.
Thinking that he had just taken office as a new official, he encountered such a big problem of raising food, and seeing that his hair was all gray and the matter had not been solved, and now that someone has delivered goods to his door and does not need money, can he not be moved.
Emperor Zhuang Wen nodded in agreement, and immediately asked people to prepare a holy decree to specially entitle Zhuo Shi as a three-grade lady, with a letter of commendation.
Song Tian's position of supervising the imperial history is a special seal, even if the position remains unchanged when he comes back from disaster relief, Ah Xiu can only get five orders at most.
Now because of the food donation, he directly crossed the husband's three-grade edict, which is also a great honor.
In fact, if you think about the 100,000 quintals of grain donated by others, let alone three products, it is not an exaggeration to go further.
Emperor Zhuang Wendi thought that the husband and wife were both young and didn't want to attract too much attention, so it was better to keep a low profile.
The holy decree not only sealed the Zhuo family, but also the Chang family also sealed the five products of Yiren, which is the same as Song Tian's official position at this time.
Emperor Zhuang Wen's personal eunuch personally went over to read out the holy decree, and two sets of edict dresses were sent over together.
The Song Mansion received the decree in the front yard, and then Song Er led everyone to offer the holy decree and the commendation book in the main hall of the front yard.
This is already the second holy decree that their family has received, and Song Ercai sighed very much, asking the Chang family to arrange a banquet and reward money, and have to celebrate.
Ah Xiu specially donated 100,000 loads of grain to solve the urgent need ahead.
Emperor Zhuang Wen asked Lord Hu to personally go to Liangzhou to hand over the grain, and arranged for 3,000 soldiers to accompany him to escort him to ensure safe delivery.
At the same time, he arranged for Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to lead the team and immediately go to Huxi to check the feasibility of the canal.
The situation lasted until the beginning of winter.
In mid-November, Ah Xiu received two letters from Song Tian.
The letter was sent by Hu Ke, and the last time the Ministry of Industry went to Huxi, he got a chance to go out and make meritorious contributions.
This time I came back to deploy some supplies and personnel to go again.
Ah Xiu invited him to the hall and asked Song Tian about his situation over there.
"I'm tired, I'm tired, everything is fine, Madame doesn't have to bother."
Ah Xiu now has a fate, and Hu Ke is no longer good at calling him by his name.
Okay, that's it.
Ah Xiu nodded, sent Hu Ke a letter to Chang's, and the other one written for himself quickly took it to the room and read it.
The letters were not written at once, and it can be seen that he wrote several letters, but he took advantage of this opportunity to bring them all back.
mentioned some of his circumstances outside, as well as his debt to Ah Xiu's mother and son.
Ah Xiu immediately replied after reading it, and brought it to Hu Ke when he left.
The end of the year is approaching, and seeing that Brother Lin can already sit up by leaning on things, the group of people who are helping to help the disaster finally have some news.
The news was brought by Jiang Boyuan, and those people were almost able to come back a year ago.
The Song family was very happy to hear this, and they were actually very worried when they heard that there were bandits and riots in this disaster relief.
After reporting the letter, Jiang Boyuan mentioned his relationship with Lu Wei again.
Jiang Peng went out to suppress the bandits and did not return, but when he left, he had already expressed his attitude and asked the Wen family to take care of it.
Wen thought that this son was not born by himself, so he could marry if he wanted to.
The son and daughter-in-law had no opinion, and Mrs. Yu had no reason to keep stopping, so she relented after two months.
Jiang Boyuan has already invited a matchmaker to come to the door, but Ah Xiu can't be the master of this matter.
She asked people to inform the Lu Bao family in Linjiang that they would come over during the Chinese New Year and discuss the marriage at that time.
Jiang Boyuan nodded, and met Lu Wei in the pavilion in the front yard.
After the two exchange hearts, they often send something to each other.
Jiang Boyuan will bring her gold and silver jewelry, and Lu Wei will make embroidery by herself.
Knowing that the man was coming back soon, Ah Xiu kept looking forward to it.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the little maid rushed back from outside, saying that they had entered the city.
The Song family was overjoyed when they heard this, but considering that they still had to enter the palace to resume their lives, they didn't want to meet so quickly for a while.
The group waited anxiously, and after noon, it was half an afternoon before they waited for Tangshan, who was returning from the fast horse, saying that Song Tian had left the palace and was returning in a carriage.
Song Ercai nodded, straightened his clothes, and led the family to the door to greet him.
The sun was setting in the west, and a carriage slowly appeared in everyone's sight at the corner of the street.
Ah Xiu gradually smiled while holding the child, and whispered to the child in her arms: "Brother Lin, your father is back." ”
In the distance, Song Tian also saw them, and immediately asked the coachman to speed up.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of everyone, and Song Tian opened the curtain and jumped directly from it.
"Father, mother, my son is back."
Song Tian got out of the car and gave a big salute to his parents first, and then he stepped forward and looked at his wife and children next to him.
It's been almost half a year, and Ah Xiu, who has become a mother, is a little different in his eyes, with more mature charm and more beautiful and generous.
Look at my son again, when he left, he was just so small, his face was still red, now he is so much bigger, the round bun face is white and tender, and his eyes are like embroidery.
"Eyes like you."
Song Tian smiled, but his eyes were a little wet.
Ah Xiu was also red-eyed, and rubbed the son in his arms and said, "This is Dad." ”
Brother Lin obviously didn't understand what was going on, stared at the man who was a little scumbag curiously, and then silently buried his face in his mother's arms.
