The prefect Zou still had a sad face.

Moving the family out of the prefect's yamen is easier said than done.

You must know that their entire family is in the yamen, and they will not be able to move out in a short time.

Bringing those victims in is no ordinary trouble......

But the official level crushed people to death, and in front of the two Liang princes, he didn't dare to say half a word.

"Lord Wang, the official can't be the master of this matter, and he needs to discuss it with his grandmother."

As the words landed, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Zhu Gaoxuan already had a cold face.

"Stop, the county lord Chitose has been staying in the yard and not coming out. As long as no one disturbs her old man's house, it will naturally be fine. This matter is so decided, you hurry up and arrange it, so that your family can quickly test the mansion! ”

Lord Zou had no choice but to compromise.

As a result, the official family members who were usually pampered were forced to move to live outside the house.

The injured and sick were housed in the spacious and comfortable prefect's yamen.

Once everything is taken care of, it's not too early.

Zhu Gaoxuan left the prefect's yamen alone.

The old man followed.

"Isn't it good for the prince to take a rest?"

Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head.

"This king plans to go around, if the old man can afford to eat, he might as well be a guide for this king."

The old man's body was indeed a little weak, but he nodded happily.

Zhu Gaoxuan asked someone to bring him a horse over, and he rode his sweaty and bloody horse, slowly walking towards the disaster area that Lord Zou was responsible for before.

The old man introduced him.

"This terrain is relatively flat, so although the disaster was affected, it was not as serious as there, and the water was evacuated earlier, but the people also suffered heavy losses, but there were no casualties."

Zhu Gaoxuan squinted, looking at the crop field lying in the mud in front of him, his brows furrowed.

"This crop seems to be hopeless!"

Although the water was withdrawn, the ground was full of water, so the roots of the crops were still soaked.

Then it won't be long before the roots will fester, and the grains will be lost.

The old man sighed.

"A few years ago, we also experienced such a flood. Later, a lot of people starved to death, and I can't imagine that this year I will repeat the same mistake......"

In the field not far away, a few people with yellow faces and thin muscles were also sighing at the crops.

Although the ground was relatively high, they were not wearing shoes, and their feet were stuck in the mud, looking a little embarrassed.

Although the horses can barely move forward, they are also extremely difficult.

Zhu Gaoxuan grabbed the reins of the horse and jumped off the horse.

The villagers only saw the two of them at this time, and they came over with puzzled expressions.

One of them said, "You shouldn't be from the government, are you?" I heard that the imperial court sent the minister of the imperial court, are you a subordinate of the minister? ”

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled, but did not answer their question, "Do you have anything to eat now?" ”

A man nodded.

"When the flood came, we tied some of the food to our bodies, and although the food we didn't have time to take away was blistered, it could still be eaten after drying, so we didn't have to go hungry for the time being."

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded.

"In that case, why don't you want to save yourself? If these crops are not harvested. It is estimated that the food in your family will not last until the beginning of spring next year. ”

After the men looked at each other, they looked at Zhu Gaoxuan with a little dazed eyes.

"But the crops are already like this, how can we save ourselves?"

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled slightly.

"I think you can dig a deep pit every once in a while, and the groundwater will sink into the pit, and maybe the crops will be able to recover."

An older man seemed thoughtful.

"It seems to make some sense. Anyway, we should give it a try. ”

Others agreed.

Then they immediately went back and called on the other villagers to come and start digging holes in the crops.

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't stop long, and took the old man from another fork in the road and continued to move forward.

In front of me is a small forest, where someone is cutting down, apparently planning to cut some trees back and store firewood for the winter.

There was a lot of wood that had just been cut down but had not yet had time to be brought back and was lying across the road.

Zhu Gaoxuan picked up a branch and saw that there were some black fungus growing on it, he was overjoyed, and carefully searched the ground.

There are a lot of mushrooms on the ground, although they are not very big, but this thing grows quickly, and it can be picked in three or five days.

It's just that the villagers don't know the goods, and they go back and forth from above, and they are all ruined.

The old man asked with a puzzled expression.

"Lord Wang, what is this? Is it edible? ”

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded, "These things can be eaten, if you can't finish eating them at that time, you can also wear them up and dry them, and keep them for later." ”

The old man's eyes lit up all at once.

"Well, if we can store some more, this winter will be better."

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled, "Yes, store more, and you will eat it in winter." But it's not enough to grow them in the wild, we can also grow them artificially. The mushroom growth cycle is very short, and now it is estimated that there are still two months left before the freeze, and if it goes well, we can grow a lot of mushrooms. ”

When they were talking here, they attracted the attention of a few villagers not far away.

They began to babble their opinions.

"You're not kidding, this official? We've never heard of anything like this to eat. ”

"That's it, I'm dozens of years old, and I've eaten everything from grass roots and tree bark, and I've never heard of anyone eating this. It's poisonous, but you can't move around. ”

Yes, you can't eat indiscriminately even if you're starving to death. If this thing could be eaten, the older generation would have eaten it a long time ago, and would they have to wait until now? ”

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled and spoke.

"If you don't believe me, I'll give it a try. Can you help me get a pot? ”

There is a small village near the forest, and iron pots are easy to find.

A young man quickly brought a pot over.

He helped Zhu Gaoxuan set up the pot, and then helped him light the fire.

Then, boiling the water, Zhu Gaoxuan threw the freshly picked mushrooms into it.

After soldering, filter out the water inside, let it cool, and then dip it in the sauce and eat a few large bites.

This way of eating, the taste is obviously unsatisfactory.

But Zhu Gaoxuan, who had drunk porridge for two days in a row, didn't find it difficult to swallow.

Seeing this, the old man who accompanied him also tasted it, and he was full of praise, "This mushroom tastes really good." It's fresh and tender, but it's much better than eating grass and trees. ”

Others are still waiting.

The young man who helped tasted it too.
