Chapter 470: A New Solution
"I knew I couldn't hide it." Shopkeeper Guo shook his head with a smile, "I'm sorry Qingyan, it was the eldest brother who violated the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, and I must apologize for this." ”
"You've always understood my mind best, is there any special reason for what you did this time?"
"Most of the powerful people in the city don't worry about eating and drinking, but the ordinary people are different, especially some old and weak women and children who have been left behind, so they can only find wild vegetables everywhere to satisfy their hunger." Shopkeeper Guo sighed, "I also experienced this kind of hard life at the beginning, and I knew how difficult it was, so I secretly stuffed some rice and vegetables into them, and then symbolically received some silver taels, so as to preserve their dignity and avoid being treated as charity and pity." ”
Su Qingyan twisted his eyebrows, "Didn't the emperor already order the opening of the warehouse to release grain?" In the huge city of Kyoto, can't even get the people's rations? ”
"Counting on the emperor and the crown prince, it is better to find a rope and hang him by the neck earlier. The people are living a difficult life, but they eat and drink spicy food every day, and the gas of the beam is about to run out! ”
"These two incompetent shit!"
The dignified Emperor Su and the prince of a country can even ignore the life and death of the people under the imperial city, if the place where the epidemic occurred this time is in a town dozens of miles away, will the city gate be closed again and let them fend for themselves?
"Qingyan, although the eldest brother is kind-hearted, he has indeed violated the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, so it is better for you to fine my salary as a punishment."
Su Qingyan shook his head, "Rules are dead, people are alive, the reason why I didn't let the Chamber of Commerce open the door to welcome guests is to protect your safety and avoid being infected." ”
"Big brother understands."
"Someone must do the work of helping the people, relying on the eldest brother's little rice and noodles, it is a drop in the bucket."
Guo shopkeeper: "Do you want to personally give charity porridge?" ”
"That's right, Su Ye is busy outside the city, and I can't be idle in the city." She must not watch the people starve to death.
"Okay, big brother supports you, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask."
"Hmm."
If all the grain in the Su Mansion is taken out, it should be enough to support it for a few days.
Su Qingyan instructed Yi Huan to go back to the mansion to prepare first, and he went to the mansion of the Duke of Yao.
"Mother, I plan to set up a small stall at the gate of the city to give soup for free to help the people get through this hurdle."
"Qingyan, it's a good deed that you're willing to help the people, but if you really do this, won't it become a blatant provocation of the emperor and the crown prince?" Zhao also had some opinions on the affairs of the court, and kindly comforted her, "I hope you had better not get involved in this troubled water, so as not to get contaminated with fish." ”
"Mother, you know what you said about your daughter, but someone has to do it. If the crown prince and Emperor Su do not act, it will only be the people who will suffer, and they are all innocent. ”
"Well said!" Yao Guogong suddenly walked in from outside the door, "It is worthy of being my daughter, but it is different from ordinary boudoir women, and my father-in-law supports you to do it!" ”
Su Qingyan was grateful, "Daddy, my daughter will feel at ease with your words." ”
"Qingyan, the emperor and the crown prince have already regarded you as a thorn in the flesh, so you must not be a bird in this matter, it is better to go to the soup soup in the name of your father-in-law."
He is the founding minister, even if the emperor is angry, he doesn't dare to do anything to him, and in this way, he can also save Su Qingyan.
"Yes, thank you Daddy!"
"By the way, there is also a lot of food in the Guogong Mansion, you can take it out, as long as you keep some enough for us to eat."
"Okay."
At this time, there is no need to shirk politeness, Su Qingyan sent people to carry all the grain into the carriage, and then set up a big iron pot at the gate of the city and began to boil rice porridge.
The people, who had been hungry for several days, rushed over following the taste, and when they saw that the person cooking the porridge was Su Qingyan, they all knelt down and kowtowed, "Concubine Su is very kind, we are unforgettable!" ”
"You don't have to be like this, get up, this time the soup soup is mainly Yao Guogong's meaning, I'm just helping to do some work."
Having said that, the people are like mirrors in their hearts, and they are still grateful to her.
The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, only Xiaoyaosu and his wife are willing to stand up and help them in times of crisis, these two people are a stable family and country, and the other takes care of the people.
It's a pity that the emperor favors the crown prince and insists on making such a traitorous person the prince, which is really sad and infuriating.
"The porridge is ready, everyone lines up in order, everyone can get it, don't squeeze."
"Yes."
This time, the porridge was so thick that you could fill your stomach with a single bowl, and the Kyoto market, which had been in a depression for a long time, came alive again, and it seemed that it was back to the way it used to be.
The Prince's Mansion on the other side.
Hearing the report from the subordinates, Yin Xiuxiu spat in disgust, "Phew, only that slut is a Bodhisattva manifestation, pretending to be outside all day long, it's really disgusting." ”
Zhang Lili thought for a while and said, "Mother, I think you can learn from what Su Qingyan did, and also go out to give porridge and do good." ”
"You're crazy, there's an epidemic going on everywhere outside, what if I go and get infected!"
"No, didn't Su Qingyan have a lot of masks sewn up? I heard that wearing it will have a good chance of avoiding infection, and my father has been ignoring you lately, as long as you do a great thing and get the support of the people for him, he will naturally keep you in mind. ”
When Yin Xiuxiu heard this, she began to hesitate.
Since Mu Yuehua became pregnant, the prince seemed to have forgotten her existence, and if he continued to spend it, all the efforts he had made before would be in vain.
This is nothing, now she is most worried about the use of fragrances, the problem of accelerated skin aging.
"Lili, didn't the doctor say that I don't use too many spices, so as long as I care about it, there won't be any major problems, is it true?"
"Mother, that's a miracle doctor, how could he lie to you? Besides, as long as you get your father's favor, when the time comes, use more skin care powders from foreign lands to ensure that your face is more tender than a shelled egg. ”
Hearing this, Yin Xiuxiu felt a lot more relieved, "That's good, you just said that I should go out to give porridge, what should I do?" ”
"It's simple, you just need to ......" The mother and daughter exchanged ears, secretly discussing the next plan.
Kyoto Castle Gate...... Su Qingyan was busy all day, and he was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist.
The people did not gather too much outside according to her instructions, and after they had eaten enough, they returned to their homes for quarantine.
Yi Huan helped clean up the pots and pans, and supported her distressedly, "Concubine Su, just leave this kind of thing to the slave maid in the future, you need to rest." ”
"In the past, when I was in the countryside, dozens of acres of land could be properly managed, but now these are nothing." "This is different from the past, you have a little child in your belly, but you have to be careful."
Su Qingyan smiled, "This kid has been very obedient recently, and he doesn't bother me at all." ”
"This shows that he will definitely be very caring when he grows up."
"I hope so." As long as she can be like a small mountain and a small water, she will be satisfied.
"It's not early, the slave will accompany you back to the house to rest first, and then come to soup porridge tomorrow morning."
"Well, let's go." In addition to solving the food rations of the people, medicinal herbs and masks are also a big problem. It is not enough for her to be busy alone, and more powerful people must be involved. The carriage swayed for a long time, and finally arrived at the main entrance of the mansion.
