"Calculate the time, we have been in the capital for almost twenty days, counting the time we have been on the way from Chongshan County to the capital, there has not been a good rain for more than 30 days, in the capital, there is no obvious abnormality at present, and the situation in the field is very bad for the crops who eat reliably."

As soon as Ye Qing heard her husband mention this topic, she suddenly became excited, and she turned over and sat up with a frown: "I've been thinking about my eldest brother these days, and I almost ignored it if you didn't say it, this weather is indeed as you said." ”

Ji Nanshan sighed deeply: "As the saying goes: if there is a long drought, there will be waterlogging, and if there is a long drought, there will be locusts." Drought means that grain production will be reduced, or even no grain will be harvested, once the whole dynasty will be famine. Not only will the people go hungry, but it will also cause turmoil in the court. ”

Although Ye Qing has not experienced a year of natural disasters and famines.

Can be a child.

But I didn't hear my grandmother tell me about the suffering of the people in the year of natural disasters.

What to eat leaves, grass roots, tree bark, Guanyin soil and the like, but countless people starved to death, especially in the area of their hometown in the previous life, many people and their families were all starved to death.

Ye Qing grabbed her husband's hand tightly with both hands: "The eldest brother is now fighting with the barbarians at the border pass, the emperor sent the eldest brother to fight this time, and he originally had the idea of taking this opportunity to get rid of the eldest brother, the eldest brother's situation at the border pass is already very difficult, if the emperor uses this as an excuse to delay a little time before transporting the military grain and grass over, the eldest brother is really in the border pass, and the earth is really ineffective." ”

As a native of ancient times, Ji Nanshan has been rolling in the army for so many years, so he naturally looks at things more deeply than Ye Qing, raises his hand and pats his wife's hand, and whispers to reassure.

"Don't worry, if there is a drought in most parts of the Sheng Dynasty, this will be a turning point for the eldest brother."

"Why do you say that?" Ye Qing was very puzzled.

Ji Nanshan leaned close to his wife's ear and whispered quietly for a while, Ye Qing's face was enlightened, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

。。。。。。

Time passed day by day.

It has been two months since Cheng Huaijin left Beijing.

In the past two months, there have only been two light rains that have just drenched the ground with ashes.

There was a drought everywhere in the Sheng Dynasty.

The water level of the river has dropped so much that where it is not close to the river, the crops and seedlings have long since died, and near the river, even if the people carry water in the morning and evening, it will not be worth anything.

In many places, in order to grab water, there are many large-scale buckets. Assault incidents, and even caused deaths.

Food prices are rising everywhere every day.

The capital is slightly better, after all, there are many rich people.

But the rest of the world is not so good, and everyone is panicking.

Shao Fu.

Shao Mingchen, who is in the next dynasty today, seems to be in a good mood, and when he returns home, he is carrying a food box in his hand, with the expression of a daughter slave: "Good girl, look at Dad, what delicious food have you brought?" ”

Shao Li, who was so bored that he was lying on the table with his head down, was so distracted that he couldn't do it in his heart, but he had to pretend to be happy on his face.

“…… Dad, is it the food that the 'Sifang Pavilion Restaurant' packed back? ”

"My daughter is so smart, she guessed right at once."

"......" Shao Li couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, ate the cold skin mixed by his cheap father, looked at his father with a happy face, and asked with a slight tilt: "Daddy, you look so happy today, did you go out and pick up the money?" ”

Shao Mingchen snorted and laughed, reached out and rubbed his daughter's head, and said with a smile: "Daddy didn't pick up the money, but your favorite God of War won the battle."
