Chapter 257: Dart Team

In a grain store opened by Yang Mu a month ago, there is also a grain store under the name of the Tang family, which supplies affordable grain in limited quantities every day, so that those grain stores that want to sell grain at a high price cannot increase the price.

Yang Mu donated another batch of food to the city defense army, and the city defense army also had the strength to patrol the streets, and those who smashed and looted were arrested batch after batch.

Gradually, the atmosphere of panic in the city began to subside.

And outside the city, because there is a porridge factory that pays off, there will be no disturbances by the victims.

This unprecedented famine since the founding of the Great Shun did not cause an uproar.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is subject to various twists and turns every day, and in the excerpts in the capital, there are basically two people mentioned - Lin Xiao and Yang Mu.

It was these two people who contributed greatly to the pacification of the chaos.

It was also the porridge factory outside the city that made it possible for almost no one to starve to death in this famine, which was a blessing in misfortune.

Otherwise, once there is a large number of dead corpses, then there will definitely be an epidemic, and when the time comes, ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and the capital will become a dead city.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces issued a commendation order for three days in a row to reward Lin Xiao and Yang Mu for their compassion and dedication to the people of Dashun.

The things that were rewarded were continuously carried into the Protector's Mansion and the Dingwang Mansion.

It's just that the food will run out one day, and the second wave of locusts is about to begin.

The imperial court appealed to every household to prepare braziers and place them around food, so that the locusts would make a detour.

Looking at the crowds of people who went up the mountain to cut down trees, Yang Mu couldn't help but sigh, after this disaster, I was afraid that the mountains around the capital would be bald.

It's just that she doesn't have a better way, even in modern times, in the face of such a number of locusts, people can only face it.

It's better for a mountain to be bald than for a person to die.

In the face of great calamity, human life should always be saved first.

The second locust crossing came.

After the eggs of the first locusts hatch, a second batch of locusts is formed.

It's just that after people have gone through a large number of insecticidal eggs, the second batch of locusts is not as harmful as the first batch.

But even so, it has made the difficult life of the people even worse.

There are a large number of people dying of starvation all over the country, and there are even starvation everywhere in some places.

The third batch of locusts came before the cold weather.

This will be the last batch, because winter is coming and the locusts will freeze to death.

During the locust plague for more than two months, the queen mother of the two palaces was not idle, in addition to urgently buying food with other countries, she also made their own moves to compete for power and profit.

During this period, the Empress Dowager of the West seized the management of the granary of the Empress Dowager of the East and the position of the Book of Rites, and the Empress Dowager of the East seized the position of Jingzhao Yin and the Book of Soldiers in the hands of the Empress Dowager of the West.

In the end, these positions were held by a few unknown people.

It can be said that both the East and the West have suffered heavy losses.

When the capital ushered in the first snow of the year, a group of escort food teams entered Beijing.

The one who escorted the grain and grass was the Wan'an Dart Bureau.

When Yang Mu from the porridge factory outside the southern city saw the dart flag of the Wan'an Dart Bureau, the whole person became excited.

The moment Cao Peony and Wu Dawan, who were darts, saw Yang Mu, they almost didn't dare to recognize it.

Is the tall, thin, thin, and picturesque woman in front of her really her titular granddaughter?

Last time we met, this girl wasn't so tall!

Yang Mu looked at the group of bandit dart masters with a dirty face, and almost didn't dare to recognize people.

When he learned that the dart bureau and his party were coming to deliver goods to the Protector's Mansion, Yang Mu beckoned Cao Muan and his party to go to Yang's house.

After unloading, Tang was so enthusiastic that he left Cao Peony and Wu Dawan to live in Yang's house for a few days to rectify and rectify.

The rest of the people were arranged by Yang Mu to live in the other courtyard given to her by the Tang family.

This trip was food sent by the Tang family in Ganzhou, and Tang Yuanshan was afraid that his sister would not have food in the capital, so he specially ordered someone to run this trip.

In fact, Ganzhou is also in the north, but due to the cold, it is not attacked by locusts.

The reason why the capital can survive to this day and not starve to death is also because of the relief food sent by these provinces.

On the way to the Huguo Mansion, Yang Mu told Cao Peony and his wife that Tang was his biological mother, and told him about being dropped when he was a child.

Cao Peony suddenly pulled out a big knife and said angrily: "This group of miscellaneous pieces of the Miao family, see if I don't cut them!" ”

Yang Mule stopped his grandmother and said, "Am I the one who spends the night with hatred?" Revenge long ago! ”

She told how to turn over the ugly things of Aunt Miao's family, and explained the fate of everyone one by one.

Cao Peony still said resentfully: "It's cheaper for this group of miscellaneous pieces!" ”

After talking about Yang Mu, he talked about the dart game.

During this time, the business of Wan'an Dart Bureau was good, except for a few small darts, all of which were big jobs of several hundred taels of silver.

For example, the dart from Ganzhou to the capital is a thousand taels of silver.

Although the journey was a little difficult, and there were many times when the victims grabbed food, but fortunately, there was no danger to the capital.

Yang Mu glanced at Wu Dawan, in the past, when Cao Peony wanted to make the bandits' nest bigger and stronger, Wu Dawan always made trouble secretly, for fear of being targeted by the government if he became bigger.

Now that I'm doing a dart game, I'm not afraid to become bigger and stronger.

Wu Dawan was a little uncomfortable by Yang Mu's look, coughed dryly, changed the topic, and said, "Before we left from Ganzhou, I heard that the eldest young master of the Tang family was going to come to the capital in person, did you come?" ”

Yang Mu shook his head in surprise.

It stands to reason that cousin Tang Yi is light and simple, and he should be faster than the dart team.

Could it be that something went wrong on the road?

Wu Dawan said: "Seeing that Tang Gongzi came to the capital is an important matter, he only brought two guards, and he came on horseback, and he set off half a day earlier than us." ”

The important thing?

Yang Mu immediately understood that Cousin Tang Yi was only afraid that he was here to send the "Nine Tricks and Hundred Tong Pills"!

So, the poison of her "Thousand Gu Fusion Pill" will soon be cured?

Yang Mu, who was happy in his heart, settled Cao Peony and Wu Dawan in the guest house in the front yard, and arranged a few people to serve him.

He hurriedly went back to the Duobao Courtyard in the backyard to find Tang.

As soon as Tang heard that his nephew was coming, he first happily asked people to pack up a guest house for his nephew to live in, and then heard that it should be a delay on the road, so he hurriedly asked Deputy Captain Wei in the mansion to take the escort team to look for it along the road.

The Tang family walked around the house, the nephew should have arrived a long time ago, this is the only male in the Tang family, it is better that something can't happen on the road.

Yang Mu asked, "Mother, what grade is my cousin?" ”

Speaking of this, Tang Shi was stunned for a moment, and said, "It seems to be ...... Three products! ”

That's right, the nephew is a three-grade martial artist, who can have a way to hurt him?

Yang Mu's face was full of envy, Sanpin...... When can I become a three-product?

"Mother is not in a hurry, I will go and inquire with those disaster victims, maybe I have seen my cousin."

Yang Mu appeased the Tang clan and hurriedly went to the porridge factory outside the city.

It's June, and it's going to be busy for about two months
