Chapter 152: Disaster Situation
"Childe, childe, that, do you still accept that little shrimp?" Tao Qiqi, who was about to pack up and go back to the county seat, was stopped by the village chief's daughter-in-law and asked.
"Collect, what's the matter, did you catch a small shrimp from the well again?" Peach Qiqi replied with a question.
"Well, just now the villagers went around again, and they fished a lot more, so let me ask Gongzi if he can still collect it? If the son collects it, we will save it up after we deal with it, and when the water recedes later, we will come and pick it up when the son leaves. ”
"Good. OK. If you want to go to the county, you can also take it to the county restaurant to find me. I'll give you food. I'll be staying in a restaurant in the county for the next few days. ”
"Good. This is for Childe, this is a little bit of our folks' hearts. I knew that Childe liked to eat, so I picked a lot of them just now. As she spoke, the village chief's daughter-in-law handed Fang Yu the freshly picked Huo Ma tender tip.
Fang Yu was about to shirk it, but Tao Qiqi said: "Since it is the intention of the villagers, then we will accept it." Let's go back, auntie. ”
"Okay, then I'll go back to work first, the boy can go."
After discussing, Tao Qiqi got into the carriage and headed in the direction of the county seat.
"Shan Qing, when you get to the county in a while, you take everyone around the neighborhood to take a look. Look at the other villages that are suffering, and see how they are doing. By the way, find out what solutions are available above. On the way, Tao Qiqi said to Shan Qing, who was driving the carriage.
If you ask the prefectural order directly, you will definitely not be able to ask for any valid information.
And she didn't want to expose Aunt Jiang's identity too early.
Secret interviews are the only way to know the most authentic news.
Now no matter who is sitting in that position now, Tao Qiqi is now capable, and he still needs to help the refugees who are suffering.
Not to mention that now that Nangong Ye is sitting in that position, then Tao Qiqi and they can't stand idly by.
During this time, Nangong Ye was also busy dealing with Yongdu's affairs.
If you don't take care of the people, you can't let the people starve to death this winter.
When the time comes, the voice of the people is not good, and they will not feel comfortable listening to it.
Now, if you can help solve it, it will be better to help solve it.
When they arrived in the county, Tao Qiqi opened a few rooms in the restaurant to rest. Shan Qing and the others went around according to what Tao Qiqi said.
It wasn't until the evening that Tao Qiqi saw them come back.
Then Shan Qing told Tao Qiqi what he saw today.
At present, there are still seven villages suffering, of course, not including Yaojia Village, if Yaojia Village is added, then there are eight villages in Jinxiang County.
It's just that compared to Yaojia Village, the other seven villages suffered a little better.
In some villages, the terrain is relatively high, and only half of the houses in the village are flooded.
In another village, only two or three families at the end of the village were flooded.
Although some villages are flooded, they are not as exaggerated as Yaojia Village, and the water level is not as high as Yaojia Village.
Now some of the villagers who have suffered have gone to their relatives, and some of those who have nowhere to go live in caves in the mountains, or borrow to live in the homes of some villagers in the village who still have vacant houses.
Fortunately, there are many mountains and caves in the countryside.
As long as it's not deep in the mountains and there are no beasts, it's better to live inside than to sleep on the streets.
Now the only thing is food.
Because the common people are just stuck in the autumn harvest, some people's grain is harvested late, and the grain is directly germinated in the field.
Some of them were harvested earlier, but they didn't have time to dry them yet.
There are only a few households, the population is large, the start is fast, and the food loss is relatively small.
The food of these suffering people may still be able to support it in the near future, but because of the heavy rain, the winter wheat cannot be planted, and the harvest in the spring of the next year will not be harvested, and the villagers may face the situation of no rice to cook.
Faced with such a situation, Tao Qiqi thought about it and decided to write a letter to Nangong Ye first.
Whether he knows it or not, Tao Qiqi should have to talk to him.
If he knew and had planned to deal with it, she would have cooperated.
If not, then she will directly solve it.
In addition, when she finishes dealing with it, she will invite credit and reward.
He is the emperor now, she does something for him, naturally she can't ask for nothing in return, after all, she doesn't ask for nothing.
In fact, one of the most tricky things now is food, and the other is the houses of the villagers.
The water level has not been discharged, it can't go down, and the house has been soaked in the water for a long time, and it will definitely become a dangerous house, especially a mud house.
The conditions of the common people who can only build mud houses are certainly not much better.
It is a lot of money to build a house.
Since he wrote to Nangong Ye, Tao Qiqi naturally told him about it in 1510.
In addition, he also gave his own suggestions.
For the refugees who are suffering, if the state has the conditions, it should give an appropriate amount of subsidies.
In addition, the grain tax should be waived for next year.
If you can, the house is subsidized, and the grain can be borrowed and repaid.
The common people borrowed grain from the local government, and in the coming year, when the grain was harvested, it was okay to repay it.
If you can't do it, there's still fundraising.
Find a wealthy local family and donate a little food, of course, you won't let them donate it in vain, after all, no one's food or silver is blown by the wind.
For large donors, the tax for the coming year can be appropriately reduced or exempted according to the amount of donations.
I believe that this method will definitely have many rich families donating grain.
After the letter was written, Tao Qiqi put the letter in an envelope and handed it to Shan Qing.
"Shan Qing, you personally handed over the letter to Nangong Gongzi. Then I'll come back to me when he gets back to me. ”
"Yes." Shan Qing should go down and take the letter. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Tao Qiqi said again: "Hurry up, hurry up." ”
For one, she didn't have much time to delay here.
Second, the common people are also waiting for emergency help.
"Yes." , Shan Qing immediately turned around and left.
Early the next morning, Tao Qiqi quickly dodged into the space as soon as he opened his eyes.
It's daytime, and when it's inconvenient for Xiao Hei to move, he will go back to the space to rest. This will definitely be in space.
Sure enough, as soon as Tao Qiqi entered, he saw Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai frolicking.
Seeing Xiao Hei, Tao Qiqi immediately asked, "Xiao Hei, have you helped the refugees in the past few days?" How much did it help? ”
Xiao Hei replied: "Master, you asked me to go back to the south to help the suffering villagers, but it has only been ten days, and it will take time for me to come back from the north, and it is snowing heavily in many places in the north, and Xiao Hei's travel will be restricted." At present, there is also a place where ordinary people are suffering.
However, Xiao Hei observed that their situation was not very bad, and Nan Gongzi had already reduced their taxes, and they were not so short of food for the time being, so Xiao Hei had not made a move for the time being.
In addition, in the past few days, I have heard that Jinxiang County has suffered the most. So I'm going to go to Jinxiang County tonight. ”
