Chapter 259: Food Arrives

Since the locust plague, Dashun has bought grain from neighboring countries.

Naturally, the countries knew about the situation in Dashun, and originally did not want to sell grain to Dashun. At this juncture, isn't it good to attack Dashun?

But in the northwest, there is Tang Yuanshan, the general of Huaihua in Ganzhou, the Yang family army in the north, and the Lin family army in the east.

Even in the south, there is the Hou Sheng family of Jing'an.

Several countries are relatively far away, and a joint war may not be able to win, and even if it wins, it is just a country of disaster, and there is no meaning.

Instead of fighting a battle that may not be won, it is better to sell grain to Dashun at a high price and see if they can slow down.

If it can be relieved, then the treasury will be emptied, and it will be too late to fight.

If you can't slow down, you just make money, and you can wait for Dashun to perish by itself.

Therefore, Dashun emptied the treasury, raised money from many wealthy families and officials, and bought back a lot of grain at a high price.

Coupled with forced donations, time was finally gained.

The grain of the Tatar Yan Kingdom was sent to the places in the north where the disaster was serious, the grain bought by the Tubo and the Japanese State was sent to the flood-stricken places in the south, and the grain from the capital was bought with the Dongchang State.

Dashun's catastrophe can be over.

The flood in the south has long passed, and there are water control officials sent by the imperial court and officials for post-disaster reconstruction to arrange everything after the disaster in an orderly manner.

There is food in the north, and the victims of the disaster have also improved.

The army sent by the imperial court sent all kinds of cold-fighting materials and helped the homeless build houses.

As long as you survive this winter, spring blooms, and wild vegetables are available, the people will naturally come to life.

And the surrounding countries, seeing that Dashun has experienced such a big disaster year, can survive so easily, and they don't dare to make small calculations.

It's good to count money at home, what kind of battle? For so many years, the countries that went to war with Dashun did not have a good fruit to eat, and each country also had its own troubles, and Dashun successfully passed the most difficult days.

When the grain truck entered the gate of the capital, how many people cheered, and some even wept bitterly, and finally they were saved.

The newly appointed grain officer was honest and honest, and his methods were superb, not only distributing the grain evenly, but also following the advice of the eldest lady of the Yang family and setting up a sub-district office.

In each street, how many households there are, and how many people there are in each household, are clearly registered.

After that, food is distributed daily according to the number of people in the population.

So that no one will complain.

After the establishment of the sub-district office, not only did the distribution of food go smoothly, but also there was an unexpected harvest.

When some wanted criminals were registered, they had nothing to hide, and they were directly arrested and taken to the yamen.

Two trafficking rings and three unincorporated tooth groups were even found.

The most amazing thing is that there is a person who sells counterfeit drugs who voluntarily turned himself in, just to get a bite to eat.

The security in the capital suddenly improved.

The grain distributed in the capital was not distributed to the victims from other places, and those victims could only receive food at Yang Mu's porridge factory.

Yang Mu gathered everyone together and told everyone that the yamen would contribute money and efforts to repair their old house for them and give them food.

If you want to go back to your hometown, you can get 30 catties of food from her and then go on the road.

The people of Dashun are still in love with their families, and they have lived in a place where they have lived for half their lives, and they can go back to live, and no one wants to wander outside.

Besides, it's winter, there is no house here, how can you spend the winter?

The vast majority of the victims came to receive food, dispersed, and set out on their way home.

Some homeless people begged Yang Mu to take them in.

Yang Mu calculated, but there were more than 100 people, and she could still afford to eat and drink.

Among them, there are lonely and widowed old people, who can't walk much at all, but they are afraid that when they return to their hometown, their lives will be lost.

Some are teenagers, and their families are dead, and there is no point in returning to their hometowns.

Some are women who have been sold by their husbands' families and do not want to return to their hometowns.

And more are some young adults, who have worked hard to come to the capital, and their families have no worries, so they simply want to work in the capital to support themselves.

There are a few who know how to punch and kick, and Yang Mu recruited into the Yang family's escort team.

The rest of the people, Yang Mu was all assigned to several mountain villas to take in.

With the imperial court distributing grain, Yang Mu no longer had to set up a porridge factory outside the city, so he let people collect the stalls.

After more than two months of relief, Yang Mu actually didn't have much food left.

Fortunately, these are all worthwhile, not only to feed many lives, but also to win the reputation of "female bodhisattva".

In order to commend her, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces still rewarded things at the beginning, but after the treasury was emptied, the Queen Mother had nothing to reward.

After the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces discussed with the Empress Dowager, she named Yang Mu a Shanning county lord.

It's just a name, but in fact, it has no real power, not even fiefs and euphemism.

Yang Mu is not very satisfied with such a superficial article, where is the real money to benefit from the title of a county lord?

It's just that she doesn't mind, and it doesn't mean that others are not rare.

How many handkerchiefs Yang Fei tore up and how many ugly words she scolded on the day of Yang Mu's canonization, they were all relayed to Daishan by Lu Yao.

As soon as Yang Mu heard that Yang Fei was unhappy, he was happy.

The county lord is very good!

Dai Shan said: "Lu Yao also said a strange thing, the second lady seems to be a little strange recently, her temper is getting bigger and bigger, and her body is getting thinner and thinner. ”

Yang Mu turned his head to look at her and asked, "Has she had any abnormalities in her diet and daily life recently?" ”

Daishan said: "It's this weird. Lu Yao said that the second lady likes to eat cold cakes very much recently, and she hasn't stopped even in winter, and she has to eat them every day. ”

"Chilled cake?" Yang Mu groaned. Then he asked, "Chilled cakes in the big kitchen?" ”

Since Aunt Miao fell and Yang Fei was found to have harmed Yang Mu many times, Yang Fei had no privilege in the small kitchen and could only eat in the big kitchen.

Daishan nodded and said: "It's made by the big kitchen, and the second lady takes out a hundred dollars every day to give it to the big kitchen, which is specially used to make cold cakes." ”

Yang Mu's eyes rolled and said, "Go and check, what is the relationship between this cook who makes cold cakes and Mother Lu." ”

Daishan should go down and was about to leave, when Yang Mu asked again: "Where is Mother Lu now?" ”

Daishan said: "I still serve the second miss, but the second miss doesn't seem to trust her anymore, so let her manage the next person and not serve her closely." ”

Yang Mu waved his hand, and Daishan retreated.

After Daishan left, Yang Mu picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Lin Xiao.

Both of them were so busy that they had only seen each other a few times in the past two months, and even writing letters was intermittent.

She told her about her side and asked Lin Xiao about his current situation.

In just half an hour, the carrier pigeon sent a reply.

Lin Xiao meant that since the "Nine Tricks and Baitong Dan" had arrived, he would try his best to wait for Lin Mao to come back from the northeast.

When the time comes, Yang Chengen, Yang Zhen, He Sanniang, and Lin Mao will work together, which should be able to provide more protection when Yang Mu detoxifies.

Although Yang Mu didn't know how powerful this antidote pill was, he was unwilling to brush off Lin Xiao's kindness, so he wrote a reply to agree to the matter.

Sorry, starting today, it could be one chapter a day

But the story is definitely going to be written, rest assured.
