Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

The drought in Liangguang is not serious, and now it is time for the autumn harvest, and the grain can be transported over soon.

But since the fifth day of the first month of August, it has rained in Zhili.

At this time, it is the least need for rain. for the harvest is beginning to ripen, and they shall be taken back in haste.

But it rained heavily in the whole of Zhili and even in many places in Shanxi.

After a day and a night of heavy rain, it was raining continuously!

Ye Zao stood in front of the window, looking at the dripping rain and worried.

"I heard that when it rains like this, the crops in the field will be spoiled if they can't be harvested?" Ye Zao asked.

She really doesn't know much about that.

"If you go back to the master, if you don't harvest it in time, the grain will be soaked in the rain, and it will become moldy, and some can sprout." The small pavilion said.

"What about taking it back and drying it?" Ye Zao frowned and asked.

"If you go back to your master, many people have no place to hang in their homes. Staying is just that kind of place. It's raining, and it's raining when you take it back......"

"I can only hope that the rain stops now, and then it won't get in the way." The little pavilion hurriedly added.

"Farmers can really only rely on the sky to farm." In this day and age, there is really no way.

Ye Zao sighed: "Pay attention, I really can't do anything." The emperor is still worried about the drought in Guangzhou. Now that the harvest is over, if this rain destroys the crops, the people will have no harvest...... What a ......."

If you don't have it, you will see that you are going to collect it, and then destroy it, that blow is very big.

Especially the farmers who only rely on farming, they are looking forward to harvesting more in autumn all year round!

The fourth master is also in a hurry. But if it doesn't rain on this day or if it rains, there is nothing that can be done.

At noon, Ye Zao came to see him. The fourth master got up to greet him: "It's raining, what are you running around?" Is there something that can't be done? ”

"You're busy, I'm here to accompany you to lunch, I'm afraid you won't eat well. Knowing that you are using it yourself today, I came. Ye Zao stretched out his hand and pulled him: "It's good that you don't dislike me for having many things." ”

"You care about me, how can I dislike you, sit down. Not wet, right? Are your shoes wet? The fourth master looked at her body.

"It's not wet, these shoes are deerskin, so the road is not in the way, I came in a sedan chair, and I came down when I got to the door, and I didn't walk a few steps."

"That's good, bring her ginger tea first." The fourth master waved his hand.

"Did the emperor ask someone to see it? Is it really raining in the whole Naoli? Ye Zao served ginger tea and asked.

The rain in August was cold, and Ye Zao felt that the temperature was very low along the way. At this moment, looking at the fourth master's expression, he felt really cold.

"It's the whole Zhili that is Shanxi, and now the return is not timely." The fourth master frowned: "It's really unfortunate." ”

"Don't you do something? Just waiting? Ye Zao also frowned: "Let the farmers watch the grain be destroyed?" ”

"The area is too big...... the fourth master sighed, no method can work immediately.

Even if there is a way in one place or two, it can't save the whole north.

"I'll tell you to worry about that." The fourth master took her hand: "Don't eat and drink badly because of this." ”

"No matter how bad it is, I'm also a fine food. You are worried about this people, although I am not so open-minded, but I know that some people will not be able to eat, or many people, can I be happy? ”

"I have already decreed that if the rain keeps falling, I will call all the state capitals, counties, and townships to organize and collect them. The recovered grain hoards are in tents set up everywhere, and although the harvest is not guaranteed, it is better to grab a little bit of it. ”

It is true that we cannot do nothing, even if we don't talk about stockpiling grain, we must ensure that by next year, the people will not go hungry.

"Fortunately, although there is a drought in Liangguang, it is not a lack of harvest. This is also ...... Oh, yes, I came up with an idea. ”

Ye Zao said, and suddenly said.

"You say. Don't be afraid to make a mistake, if it is useful, I will ask someone to do it. The fourth master said.

"It's raining in Zhili and Shanxi, but it's not raining in many places!" Ye Zao's eyes lit up: "You can directly grab it from the ground, convert it to the people at the lowest price, and directly transport the grain away." ”

"If it's cold today, the grain won't mold and sprout after soaking for three or four days, right? Directly transport it away and dry it in a place where it does not rain, and you can ask someone to open up a special place to dry the grain. When it was dry, they pulled it back and told the people to buy back the food they needed at a lower price. The rest...... If it can be left, the court will accept it directly. If it can't be left, the loss won't be even higher. Ye Zao said.

The fourth master smiled, and then rubbed her face: "If you are a man, you can also enter the cabinet." ”

"Your method, someone in the household department has proposed it, and I have approved it, and it is already being implemented." The fourth master smiled: "Since you have thought of this, it seems that this is a good way." ”

It's just that the household officials just said that they would rush to collect and transport, and asked the people to help transport the cattle and horses, donkeys, and mules of the entire Zhili. As long as it is not a war horse, it will be requisitioned to pull grain.

A part of Shanxi was affected by the disaster, and the nearby places also hurriedly sent people to send vehicles to collect it.

In the grain of Zhili, seven or eight large towns such as Beijing, Jizhou, Tongzhou, and Zunhua collect grain nearby. Although it also rains in these cities, how many houses can dry food? If it doesn't work, you can also dry it over fire.

In addition, in the local villages and towns, all the houses that can be vacated for drying grain are vacated, and some of them can be dried locally.

However, the officials of the household department did not offer to buy the grain with silver.

After all, that's a lot of silver.

The fourth master really can't buy food, even if it's a province directly under the government, he can't afford it.

But obviously, Zao Zao doesn't understand this. She is just a child's heart, and she can't bear the suffering of the people.

"You're doing it well." The fourth master praised her.

He didn't want to say anything unrealistic to give the silver, what about her kindness.

The fourth master thought that he would send people down to see it in the future, and always so that the people could eat.

Each household can dry as much as he can, and he will always ask someone to transport it back after that.

I just hope that this rain will stop quickly, and there will be no need to be so troublesome.

It's a pity that the people of Qin Tianjian said it, but I'm afraid it will not stop.

"I know, I take it ......for granted," Ye Zao saw that the fourth master said this, and knew that although what she said was right, it was estimated that it was not easy to do.

"Where to take it for granted, you are right, I am very much in favor of it. Don't think so, I didn't coax you. The fourth master smiled and squeezed her palm: "It's time for lunch, you come to accompany me, just eat well." With you, I'm less worried. ”

"There's only so much I can do, it's best to take care of your body." Ye Zao smiled: "Let's eat." ”
