Jing Su was sweating profusely to serve porridge to the victims who were lining up with bowls, and a bunch of people and horses ran out of the city gate, frightening the victims to flee.

When the people arrived in front of Jingsu's porridge shed, a man in official uniform shouted loudly on the Zaohong horse that was headed: "The holy decree has arrived, and Jingsu has received the decree." ”

Jing Su threw down the spoon in his hand, wiped his hands on his apron and came out to kneel, and the people around him knelt down one after another when they heard the holy decree.

The envoy dismounted, took out a roll of yellow cloth from the yellow brocade box with both hands, slowly opened it and read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Lingnan is in great drought, and the displaced people go north, and the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country." Jing Sunai, the son of the first general Jing Dada, can be both civil and military, and he can repay his achievements without pampering him. It is specially awarded to the four products and thousands of households in Qing'an Mansion, guarding the people of the city and collecting grain and grass to help the victims. There must be no mistake, admiration. ”

Jing Susan kowtowed and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Longen." The ministers should do their best to reimburse the court. ”

came to put the holy decree back into the brocade box, Jing Su raised his hands high above his head and took it.

Qi Ning stretched his head and hid behind the wall buttress and didn't kneel, and scolded his mother in his heart: Emperor Dog, face forward when employing people, face backwards when you don't need people, now Qing'an is in a mess, he didn't hurry up to send food to settle the victims, and grabbed Jing Su's big head.

Qi Ning was secretly scolding in his heart, and heard the shouting from below: "Jing Qi's order." ”

Jing Su stood up and looked at the top of the city wall and glanced around, and saw half of Qi Ning's leaking head: "Ning'er, come down to receive the order." ”

"Ahh Call me? Qi Ning stood up and pointed to his nose and asked Jing Su loudly, Jing Qi, he almost forgot that he had now become a woman without a name Jing Qi.

"Jing Qi took the order." Come and shout at the wall.

Qi Ning ran down the city wall in a panic with her skirt, went out of the doorway, and knelt down in front of the envoy: "Jing Qi's order is here." Jing Su also knelt behind her.

The envoy took out a roll of yellow silk from another brocade box in the hand of the person behind him and opened it: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: The minister has the code of dedication, and the virtue is used to hand over the repair, and the court has the grace of the lord to regard the husband and noble, and Yifan Mizhang Chongjiayong." Jing Qi, the wife of a thousand households in Xi'er Qing'an Prefecture, Kun Yi Yuxiu, the moon room is hanging essence, the brocade thread pierces the clouds, Zuofuzi uses green lanterns, Su needles and moons, and gives a good person to a robe, and the governance is sound, and it is also appropriate to be honored. It is appropriate to give Er as the fourth lady, the tin is ordered to play, the emblem of the orchid house is commissioned, such as the foot of the mountains and rivers of the Yilong Gui Palace, if the precept of soaring, the golden paper is Ben, and the purple is far away. Edict. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Qi Ning hurriedly pouted her ass and kowtowed three times, and was confused when she heard it, she didn't seem to be a common person anymore, what kind of four-grade lady she was.

"Lord Jing, Mrs. Jing, please get up." He put the holy decree in the brocade box and handed it to Qi Ning, and then let them get up with a pleasant face.

"Lord Ouyang, has the emperor decreed that the grain money will be allocated for the relief of the victims?" Jing Su dusted off the soil on his body and stepped forward to ask.

"The first batch of grain has been shipped to Lingnan, and the prefectures and counties that have not been affected by the disaster have also raised grain to be transported to Lingnan, Qing'an because there are not many victims, the emperor ordered you and the prefect to raise food on the spot, and when Lingnan is stable, send the victims back."

Qi Ning scolded the emperor again in his heart, raise it on the spot, where to raise it? It's not apportioned to the people, the dog emperor is more picky than his father. There are almost more homeless people in Qing'an City than the locals, which is not much?

"Dare to ask Lord Ouyang, has Lord Xiao received a will?"

"I'll wait for the first order to go to the city, Lord Xiao said that you are giving porridge outside the city, and we will come out to look for you. Master Jing will go into the city with me first to discuss disaster relief with the prefect. ”

"Yes, the lord will go first, and the lower official will arrive later."

The envoy and his attendants mounted their horses and went into the city again.

"Ning'er, I know what you want to say, but the country has difficulties and responsibilities, if you have something to say in the evening, you hurry back to see your son, I'll be back when I'm done." Jing Su knew Qi Ning too well, for fear that she would scold the emperor disrespectfully on the spot.

"Well, you are careful in everything, don't rush to get out in case of trouble, think more about your son." Qi Ning smiled bitterly, the people of this dynasty have no autonomy, everything depends on the face above. Of course, she wouldn't scold the emperor in public, but she just scolded a few times in her heart.

Jing Su ran into the city on foot, and Qi Ning took over as Jing Su to continue scooping porridge for the victims, no matter the size of the bowl, it was full.

Even those holding porcelain basins, Qi Ning also filled most of the basins.

"You have all heard the holy decree, the emperor has ordered someone to send food to your hometown, and the government here will immediately raise food for everyone to eat, so don't worry, don't mess up, don't be fooled by people with ulterior motives. As long as you can eat enough porridge, don't worry, we will come tomorrow, and we will not let you go hungry, unless we can't eat it ourselves. ”

Most of the victims looked sluggish, some were silent, and some thanked them repeatedly.

Jing Su didn't go home in the evening, but only asked the official to bring a letter saying that he would come back when he was done, and asked her not to worry.

Because of the emperor's decree, the price of grain in the grain stack did not dare to rise again, but the brown rice was also thirty wen a catty, the cornmeal had long been out of stock, and the polished rice was too expensive, Qi Ning did not dare to buy it, so he only bought five hundred catties of brown rice every day and boiled it outside the city and distributed it to the victims.

Jing Su took people to the village to collect 20 catties of polished rice per person according to the head, and those without polished rice were converted into 30 catties of brown rice, 40 catties of cornmeal, and 25 catties of white flour. For a while, the people's grievances were boiling, and Jing Su could only persuade him with good words, after all, the people were afraid of officials, although they had complaints, but they didn't dare not pay, but some people who couldn't eat enough could only borrow silver grain to make up.

After four or five days, the yamen began to give porridge in several abandoned porridge sheds outside the city, and Qi Ning took a breath and stopped.

This time for the soup kitchen, Qi Ning also gave the cotton cloth and old clothes and old bedding at home to the old and young women and children among the victims.

After more than 20 days of continuous soup soup and delivery, Qi Ning calculated, and it cost more than 600 taels of silver, although he was distressed, but it was not so bad as to hurt his muscles and bones.

After half a month of continuous disaster relief, the government began to repatriate the victims, and Jing Su was even more busy at home.

The victims were all sent away one after another, sending away Handong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Qi Ning took Tie Niu and Hanqiu back to Zhujia Village.

As soon as they got off the bus, the people in the village rushed to complain about their grievances, and they were also apportioned food. Like Sister-in-law Zhu, those families with few tenants have been cut off. Qi Ning instructed Tie Niu to go up the mountain and call the housekeeper to come. Then he squeezed into the middle of the crowd with Handong. Qi Ning knew that most of the people in Zhujia Village were of good character, and if it was like this, there was no loss on her mountain, not only because the housekeeper led people to guard it, but also because she usually treated everyone well, so everyone didn't let the victims know that there was so much meat and food on Qi Ning Mountain.
