Chapter 112: Disaster Damage

Although this year's heavy rain did not cause landslides or mudslides on Mt. Yaen, crops were damaged in many places.

Lin Qiya's land is small, and her original drainage system is doing well, so her land has not been flooded.

But because of the heavy rain at that time, some herbs were beaten down by the raindrops, and although they look a little wilted now, she believes that with her years of experience in studying crops, she will be able to save them.

"Sister Ya'er."

When Lin Qiya was still studying in the field, she heard someone calling her outside the door, and the voice sounded like Deng Duoer.

"It's just raining all over the mud, why are you here?" Lin Qiya looked Deng Duoer up and down, and saw that she was dressed very lightly, but the mud on her feet was indeed a little too much, so she didn't look like an official lady at all, to a country girl like her who worked as a farmer all year round.

"My father went out of the city today to inspect the damage, so I came with me, and I also wanted to see if your family was affected, but now it seems that your family has not been affected." Deng Duoer said as she looked left and right.

"My family is fine, but there are some families in the village who should have suffered a lot of losses. Did your father come to report to the imperial court? This year it was devastated by the disaster. I hope that the imperial court will reduce some taxes. ”

"This depends on the specific disaster situation, so my father came to investigate, as for how the court will arrange, that is the above matter, my father can only report truthfully. However, I followed my father along the road just now, and the situation of the disaster was much better than my father originally thought, and the imperial court did not expect to make much action. Deng Duoer talked about what she had seen before, and she was glad that the damage this time was not very serious.

"Regardless of whether it is serious or not, everyone's life should not be easy next year, after all, this heavy rain will still have a certain impact to a greater or lesser extent."

"Why? The damage is not serious, and how can this year's disaster affect next year? Deng Duoer didn't quite understand what Lin Qiya meant, although she was not stupid, but this was the first time she encountered a disaster, and she couldn't think of anything more long-term.

"The food planted this year is naturally prepared for next year. Whether it is for the imperial court or for the people themselves, this will greatly reduce the output because of this disaster.

If the local grain is exhausted, then the grain merchants can only come in from other places, then the freight and labor costs will be sandwiched between the price of the grain itself, and the price of grain will naturally rise, and the people can only eat high-priced grain.

In this case, it is easy for the rich to say, but what about the poor? How can they live if they can't afford food? Lin Qiya gave Deng Duoer a brief analysis.

"Yes, I think you're right when you say that, but now it doesn't seem serious, and it's impossible for my father to lie about the disaster, so what should I do now?" Deng Duoer suddenly became worried.

"You don't have to think too much about this, the court naturally has a solution from the court, and your father will definitely think of this."

"What if my dad didn't think of it? No, I'll have to go back and remind my dad. Sister Ya'er, I'll go first, and I'll come to play with you next time. ”

After saying that, Deng Duoer took the golden branch and left together.

"Miss, Miss Lin's house seems to have a guest, and I don't know what kind of person it is." Jin Zhi whispered to Deng Duoer after leaving Lin Qiya's house.

"Who's not having a guest to make a fuss. Let's go to my dad first, or he'll write an excerpt as soon as he gets home, and it will be troublesome if he really forgets what Sister Ya'er said. "Deng Duoer now has time to think about what guests are not guests, and her father's business is the most important thing.
