Chapter 564: Help them again

But now the biggest trouble is that it is also winter in Kuncheng, the people's houses have been destroyed, many property and food are gone, if it encounters a cold winter day again, I am afraid that many people will freeze to death and starve to death.

"The food for disaster relief has been allocated, as well as cotton clothes, cotton, charcoal fires, these things have been prepared, the climate there is better than the capital, not so cold, but it is still necessary to let the people survive this winter."

In this era, it is mainly small farmers, many families are self-sufficient, and now their own food is gone, which is also a great pressure on the imperial court, Chu State has taken out a lot of treasury this year, and it is almost gone.

"This matter, I will hand it over to the Ministry of Industry to follow up with Su Yulun."

Su Ying raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Yan lightly, Who doesn't know that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was the protégé of the Yasukuni Gong back then, and many of the left and right servants below were all from the branches of the Yasukuni Gong family.

What Yasukuni Gong is doing now is what Su Yulun did at the beginning, Xiao Ember is now putting the two parties together, isn't this giving them a chance to fight in the ring?

But it's okay to have competitors watching, so they don't dare to make mistakes.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, Su Ying asked the household to find her a relatively gentle hillside.

Where did Hubu Shangshu dare to be a little lazy, and in less than three days, he selected a bunch of directional hillsides for Su Ying.

After Su Ying's field trip, she selected two places from them.

"Niangniang, what are your plans for these slopes?"

Su Ying stepped on the mud on the hillside, pinched some mud and rubbed it in her hands.

"It's useful."

Hubu Shangshu didn't know what the big use in Su Ying's mouth was, but he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to say.

After a few days, people who pass by these hills will find that there are a lot of people on the slopes with hoes and shovels digging holes.

These people were all found by Su Ying from the parents of the students in the girls' college, and those girls were poor, so Su Ying would help them again, give them wages and let them come to work, at least let them live a winter without hunger.

"Niangniang, what are you doing digging holes and cutting trees?"

"Charcoal." Su Ying looked in the direction of the hillside.

Zhao's mother had inadvertently mentioned it before, saying that the cotton production in Chu this year is small, and if this year is frozen, many poor people will freeze to death and starve to death.

At that time, she wanted to burn some charcoal and sell it to the poor people at the cheapest price, and indirectly teach them the art of charcoal burning, so that they can at least have something to eat in the future.

"Niangniang really cares about the people."

"Anyway, I'm bored in the harem, so it's good to go out for a walk and be active."

The forests on the outskirts of Beijing are very dense and dense, and Su Ying asked them to cut down the area more scattered, so that they would not cut down a piece of baldness, and when the spring of the next year begins, they will let the people plant saplings again, so that future generations can continue to enjoy the greater gift of nature.

Su Ying looked at the people working the hillside, and suddenly remembered the picture when they were in the Northern Wasteland, and everyone at that time was full of hope for the future.

In fact, she prefers to live in Tiankui City, which is simple and straightforward, without too much intrigue, after all, the people there have tried their best to live before, and where are there so many side thoughts.

Chu Yun would send her a message every month to report on the situation in Tiankui City, even if it was a formulaic report, Su Ying felt an inexplicable cordiality.

"Mother, it's lunch, let's go have lunch first." Zhou Qing walked over with a food box.

These days, Su Ying will come over every day to follow up, and at noon, she will eat and drink with the people, without special treatment.

"What's delicious at noon today?"

Zhou chuckled and said, "Uncle He is afraid that you won't eat well, so he got up early in the morning and prepared a large pig, and made sauerkraut and white meat for everyone, and the slave maid smelled the fragrance from afar." ”

The official who oversaw the work on the hillside also rang the bell for lunch at noon, and when the bell rang, the big guys ran down the hill excitedly.

If you don't get excited, some of them have lived for decades and haven't even eaten meat, and now they come to work not only for wages, but also for meat in the lunch package, which they never dreamed of!

The Ministry of Industry built a few simple wooden houses at the foot of the mountain, which were used to feed the people.

Su Ying walked into the wooden house and sat on a table in the corner, Zhou Qing opened the food box and took out all the food inside.

"Niangniang eat it while it's hot, and when I go back in the evening, Uncle He said that he will prepare Niangniang's favorite hot pot for Niangniang."

Eating a bite of hot pot boiling meat in this weather is really a race against the gods.

Su Ying picked up the bowl, and many workers came over to sit down on other chairs after fetching food.

Seeing Su Ying sitting on the chair in the corner, he didn't dare to come forward to disturb.

They know that this is the queen's mother, and they also know that they can have meat to eat and wages to pay, all of which are the credit of the queen's mother.

Su Ying's actions also made the people really feel that the queen really cared about them.

After all, the state of Chu has been founded for many years, and there has never been a queen who is willing to sit among the people and eat vegetables like today's queen.

Su Ying not only does not make the people think that she does not have the rules of a noble girl, but feels that she is very close to the people.

After everyone had eaten, they sat down in the house and rested for a while before going back to work.

Only Su Ying and them were left in the eating room.

In fact, Su Ying didn't think about improving the military strength of Chu before, but this matter is too big, pulling out seedlings and boosting it is not necessarily a good thing, since it is the era of cold weapons, let the self-development of the whole era be followed, there are some things, there will definitely be when there should be.

Even Xiao Yan couldn't completely guarantee that after possessing a huge weapon of destruction, he would not be able to send troops to other countries, let alone others?

Today, the people are fed, clothed, and able to live and work in peace and contentment, which is the greatest blessing for this country.

In just a few days, the wood and earth pit for charcoal burning were ready.

In the capital, there are more skilled charcoal-making craftsmen, and Su Ying found a group of craftsmen to teach the people the principles and processes of charcoal burning.

"Niangniang, these charcoals are burned, so wouldn't those craftsmen have no business to do?" Zhou Qing followed Su Ying for a long time, and spoke more boldly.

"This palace has long understood, don't look at this is just a small charcoal, but there are many more doorways than we imagined, charcoal is also divided into many kinds, these craftsmen teach the most basic, the worst charcoal is made after the market is not much, for the silver charcoal this kind of high-quality charcoal will people, the basic skills will not be greatly affected."

Zhou Qing suddenly, the secret way is still thoughtful.
