Chapter 256: Snow Disaster

Bone stew, braised pork and rabbit meat together. It didn't take long for the fragrance of the three large iron pots to waft out.

A bowl of rice per person, covered with braised pork, and a spoonful of soup......

The crowd snorted as they ate.

Especially the fragrance of braised pork, everyone sighed: I have never eaten such a sweet braised pork!

Xiao Luoyi listened to it in his ears and smiled at Chen Huaijin.

The wild boar was hunted by Chen Huaijin, but the rabbit was raised in the space.

Spend the night in the field tonight, if you don't eat something good, Xiao Luoyi is afraid that everyone in the Mu family will have a poor foundation and get frostbitten.

Eating some rabbit meat produced in the space can increase a little aura and reduce the probability of getting sick.

Sure enough, after eating the braised pork mixed with rabbit meat, everyone felt warm and warm, and then slept in the thick quilt brought down from the carriage, it was not so cold, and they fell asleep after a while.

Fortunately, there was no more snow at night, and after dawn, everyone worked together to shovel the snow, and Chen Huaijin once again showed his outstanding strength and endurance.

The group shoveled snow, Chen Huaijin was the fastest, and rushed to the front alone.

Fortunately, after about 30 zhang of the hillside in the past, the snow on the hillside did not roll down, and the snow on the road was not so thick, and I could barely walk.

Then the people hurriedly ate the rest of the wild boar's breakfast, and began to walk on again.

Today, the smell of ginger hitting milk wafted out of the prince's carriage.

Chen Huaijin still sent ginger milk and snacks to each carriage, and his grandfather and grandmother gave some more, and the other Mu family members gave one according to their heads.

Mu Wanwen was surprised as she ate the sweet and slightly spicy ginger hitting milk, and couldn't help but ask Chen Huaijin, who was passing by the carriage: "Second cousin, what kind of ginger hitting milk is this...... How is it done? ”

When she was a child, she also lived in the Zhongming Ding Food House in the capital, but she had never eaten anything like this.

Chen Huaijin was faintly proud when he talked about this: "My lady made it, she put some milk when she boiled ginger tea, and who knew that it would be like this." ”

Mu Wanwen: "......" inexplicably felt sour in her heart.

That Xiao lady, I heard that she can pass through ghosts and gods, and she can actually make this kind of thing?

It's just that her appearance is still so outstanding!

Mu Wanwen thinks that she is not bad-looking, but compared with Xiao Luoyi, it is still not enough.

Xiao Luoyi is also too glamorous!

Looking at the coquettish and timid, it looks like a hooked man!

She suddenly felt that the ginger in her hand was not fragrant.

Mu Wanqiong next to her had already finished her share, and seeing that Mu Wanwen was in a daze, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Wen, if you don't eat it, just give it to me?" ”

Mu Wanwen glanced at her: "You want to be beautiful!" ”

After eating the ginger milk in his hand in three or two times, and stuffing the snack into his mouth, Chen Huaijin came next to the carriage to deliver charcoal.

He was tall and long-legged, and he didn't have much trouble walking in the snow that didn't reach his calves.

Mu Wanwen and Mu Wanqiong thanked each other, took the charcoal, and watched Chen Huaijin go away.

I have to say that this second cousin's appearance and back are extremely good-looking!

It's a pity, it's just a hunter.

The carriages and horses walked slowly along the way, but fortunately, after a day, they finally entered a prefecture!

And after a day of snow, the official road can finally be driven normally.

Presumably it will be faster in the next few days.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Because it was a private matter, the prince did not intend to let the state officials know about his arrival, and the group was very low-key.

But they were stopped.

There were more children with straw sticks on their heads than usual on the side of the road, and their parents were next to them.

As soon as someone saw the convoy coming, they immediately rushed out, shouting: "Official! Buy a baby! Cheap! Just a tael of silver! ”

"Buy mine! Mine is only 800 Wen! ”

"Buy my...... My 600 ......"

"Buy me, you can just give some......"

"Mine doesn't want money!" A woman summoned up the courage to shout, and the crowd was silent for a moment.

The air was suddenly silent, and the woman herself paused in fright, before she gritted her teeth and continued to shout.

"As long as you give your child a bite to eat, don't let her starve to death, my child doesn't want money!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the child, who had been silent just now, suddenly burst into tears!

The crying is contagious, and several other children who have been inserted with straw sticks also cry one after another!

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin both looked at the prince Yang Chenghou in the carriage.

Is it turning a blind eye?

Or hide your identity to save these few?

Or just let the local government come forward for disaster relief?

Yang Chenghou's face was solemn: It was only November, and there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and I don't know how many unstable houses were crushed.

Those villagers who lacked food and clothing had no choice but to sell their children.

After all, people who can afford to buy children always have to give their children a bite to eat, and the children will not die of hunger.

It didn't take long for Yang Chenghou to make a decision: "Let the guards buy some steamed buns and thick clothes, shoes and socks for these people, and take them all to the government office." ”

Manager Mo agreed neatly and went down to order.

The carriage turned around and headed for the palace.

The government has begun to organize manpower relief according to past experience, but the prefect is also in trouble: "Your Highness, it's not that the officials don't want to provide disaster relief, but that there are not enough people!" ”

"Most of the real houses collapsed in the deep ravines, and now the snow is covering the mountains, and it is not easy to get in and out.

"If a village sends one or two people in, it will be difficult for them to go in by themselves, and they will not be able to bring much food, but if they send more people, so many villages, where will there be so many people?"

Yang Chenghou frowned: "Check how many nearby state capitals have been affected, and transfer people from places where the disaster is not serious, saving people is the first priority!" ”

"Yes!" The prefect immediately carried it out.

But a new problem appeared in front of Yang Chenghou: because of the heavy snowfall, transportation was inconvenient, and food prices began to skyrocket.

Many families can't afford to eat food, and those who don't freeze to death starve to death!

The government opened a warehouse for disaster relief, but only dared to distribute porridge: for fear that the grain stocks would not melt if the snow melted.

Yang Chenghou asked the prefect to notify the wealthy households to give porridge for disaster relief, and promised that if they were willing to donate food to the disaster relief to reach 3,000 catties, the prince would send a plaque with his own inscription "Home of Kindness", so that they could keep the glorious lintel in the future.

This made many wealthy families move their minds and raise a lot of food.

The prefect breathed a sigh of relief, which was considered to have solved the urgent need.

All the way, all the way forward.

There were originally fifty or sixty guards accompanying him, but as he walked, there were only more than twenty people left, and they were all sent by him to supervise and dispatch disaster relief matters in various state capitals.

Seeing that after entering Yongzhou Mansion, the snow melted a little, but the weather became colder.

The road was opened, and more people came to Fucheng to sell their sons and daughters.

From time to time, I saw people with straw signs on the side of the road, and there were always crying voices, and the atmosphere was depressing.
