Chapter 194: To give porridge or not

After this incident passed, Cai Junze still insisted on training and never slackened.

Moreover, that kind of momentum is even more than before!

After all, after going through this incident, he felt more and more that it was extremely important to practice a good body and good skills.

In this way, at least, when something happens, you can stand up!

When he took his son to study in the county king's mansion, he also expressed his gratitude to Li Fangming.

Thank him for letting Pang Xiancheng bring people over to support them.

Li Fangming said lightly: "I also said that I saw a group of homeless people going to your village, and there were a lot of them, and after thinking about it, I was afraid that these homeless people were eyeing your village, so I found the county official and asked him to take someone to take a look." ”

"Fortunately, everything is in time."

"It's okay for you guys to be fine."

In fact, it was the person he arranged to protect Cai Junze who secretly found out about this matter, and then came back to report it.

Cai Junze didn't know how to thank him except for saying some words of gratitude.

He was also a little embarrassed about this.

Because, it's always him helping them.

But I can rarely help him.

It can't be helped!

Who made the family a relative of the emperor?

What he has, everyone else has!

What he doesn't have, others have!

In other words, what happened in the village did not happen in Liu Shulin's previous life.

It is also easy to understand that the villagers of Changhe Village in the previous generation did not stock up on grain, so naturally no one would target their village.

Moreover, at that time, Niu Jiashi was still with Lu Qingyan.

After this incident, Niu Jiashi has been in a state of disappearance.

No one knows where he went.

People often go to his house to see when he will come back.

As soon as he comes back, catch him!

As a result, wait, wait, wait!

One day, two days...... A month passed, and he didn't come back.

"Looks like he won't be coming back."

"He probably knew that we were waiting for him to come back, so he didn't dare to come back."

"Alas, it's really unpleasant to let him run away like this!"

It's October.

Recently, I have heard everywhere that people are dying of starvation.

There were before, but not as much as recently.

Because the consequences of drought have reached a limit, everything that can be eaten in the mountains is eaten, and the further back you go, the more difficult it is to find something to eat.

A lot of mountains, all bare.

Someone scrambled it!

There is the disaster impact, too!

In Jingliu County, the county king's mansion began to give porridge.

For a time, many people gathered in the county, all begging for porridge to drink.

"Brother Junze, you say, next year, will the drought really stop?" Li Fangming asked.

"Well...... I don't know. "Judging from the current situation, there is no sign that the drought will stop." However, my mother said that the fortune teller said that the drought only lasted for two years, and in the spring of the third year, it began to rain. The last snow disaster was said to be true, and this time, presumably, there will be no problem, right? ”

Li Fangming said: "I hope that the fortune teller is true." If this famine continues like this, I don't know how many more people will die. ”

"By the way, what's the news out there now?" Cai Junze's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"As far as I know, it's still very messy." Li Fangming said, "There are people rebelling in many places, and it is not easy to quell this matter. ”

"These people are rebelling, I'm afraid, they're just taking advantage of the chaos to make trouble, right?" Cai Junze said, "I'm afraid that the world won't be chaotic enough, so I added a fire to it." ”

This kind of chaos is entirely caused by famine.

Of course, the imperial court is also responsible.

It's just that, as far as Cai Junze's feeling goes, under the rule of the Daxu Dynasty, on the whole, everything is still very good, there is no tyranny, there is no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the taxes are very simple.

It is precisely that the tax is not high, so the treasury of Daxu ...... Naturally, there will not be too much surplus food.

In the face of this kind of famine, there is also a lack of power.

Therefore, it can be said that these people who took advantage of the famine to rebel are not necessarily the fault of the dynasty, but just that they want to overthrow the dynasty and sit on that throne themselves......

In this regard, Cai Junze's heart is also complicated.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the province where they are located is generally not chaotic.

It may be that they did not take the lead in rebellion, or they lacked a person with appeal, so there are a large number of displaced people, but only a few people make trouble.

Fucheng.

Ji Fu.

Ji Wufeng looked for his father and said, "Dad, I heard that over there in Jingliu County, the county prince's mansion is giving porridge, do we want to also give porridge?" ”

Ji Changlin glanced at him lightly and said, "Although our Ji Mansion has a very thick foundation, who knows how long this drought will last?" If it continues for a few more years, no matter how thick our foundation is, we will run out one day. Therefore, I do not propose such a thing as soup kitchen. At least, not at the moment. ”

Unless, knowing that the drought is coming to an end soon, you can think about it.

When everything is not yet decided, there are some things that need to be done, and it is better to think clearly.

Ji Changlin is not a reckless person, and he will not do this kind of thing lightly.

Hearing his father say this, a trace of loss flashed in Ji Wufeng's eyes, but it was also fleeting.

At the same time, in his heart, he also admires the county king's mansion.

The Ji Mansion is many times thicker than the Junwang Mansion, and the result is ...... The Ji Mansion didn't dare to give porridge, but the Junwang Mansion didn't care about this, and they didn't care about what to do if the disaster lasted for a few years in the future.

This made him admire.

For this reason, he went to Jingliu County and visited the county king's mansion.

The king of Shunheng County met with him, chatted with him, and then said that the decision to give porridge relief was the proposal of the second son Li Fangming, and he was persuaded by the second son, so he gave porridge.

Hearing this, Ji Wufeng's eyes flashed.

Subsequently, he met Li Fangming again.

expressed his admiration for him.

Li Fangming smiled and said, "I have nothing to admire, don't hide it from Ji Gongzi, the reason why I proposed soup soup is to guess that it may return to normal next year, so there is nothing to scruple about." ”

Then, he told Ji Wufeng what the Cai family told him.

According to the "previous heavy snowfall was promised", he is also more willing to believe that the climate will return to normal next year.

Hearing him say this, Ji Wufeng's face was filled with surprise.

"Second son, can you introduce that person to me? I'd like to talk to them about it. Just listening to Li Fangming, he was still not convinced, so he wanted to talk to the person who met the fortune teller.

Li Fangming thought for a moment and agreed.

It just so happened that on this day, Cai Junze was also in the Junwang Mansion.

At this moment, he is accompanying Yang'er to learn from Master Geng.

When Cai Junze came out, he introduced him to Ji Wufeng.

Cai Junze didn't know what the situation was, but since it was introduced by Brother Fang Ming, of course he wanted to meet him.

Ji Wufeng saw Cai Junze, said a few polite words, and then said with a smile: "I heard from the second son that your mother met a fortune teller before, saying that the rain will return to normal next year, so I am curious and want to get to know you." ”

Cai Junze smiled and said, "So that's the case?" Two years ago, it didn't snow here, but my family was ready early......"

Cracked and said a bunch of them.

Tell me all the old things.

Then he said: "We also prepared for this drought in advance, and then there was really a drought." According to that fortune teller, the drought will end next year. Judging from the previous case of the snow disaster, I think what this fortune teller said is quite accurate. At least, so far, he's been right. ”

Listening to what Cai Junze said, Ji Wufeng nodded again and again, and said, "This fortune teller, it seems, is quite powerful." ”

Cai Junze said: "Yes, but, it's a pity, I've never seen this fortune teller, and only my mother has seen it, and we all listened to my mother." ”

Ji Wufeng's eyes moved, and he said, "Can you take me to meet your mother?" I'm so curious about this! If only I could, if only I could meet the fortune teller. ”

Cai Junze glanced at Li Fangming, and Li Fangming gave him a calm look, indicating that this person could still be trusted.

Then, Cai Junze agreed to take him to see his mother.

"My family is in the country, though." Cai Junze said, "If Ji Gongzi wants to see my mother, he can only go to the countryside with me." ”

Ji Wufeng said: "It's not a problem, I just want to talk to your mother about this fortune teller and see if I can ask some details." ”

Cai Junze felt that he should want to see the fortune teller, so he thought about talking to his mother.

Then, he took Ji Wufeng home.

Li Fangming also followed.

"Mother, there is a son who said that he wants to see you."

Entering the house, Cai Junze said to his mother.

"Who?" Liu Shulin's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"A son from the city." Cai Junze said.
