Chapter 58 Soup kitchen

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the disaster in the north became more and more serious, first rain and then snow, and the streets of the capital were full of refugees from several surrounding towns.

Luzi got Su Qing's order to send some grain to the tenants of Su Mansion.

When he arrived at the cave, he saw a scene that he may never forget in his life, and when they took out the grain, how moved the tenants were, and they looked at each other, snuggled, grateful, and knelt down.

And this time he went, not only to send carbon in the snow, but also to send his life.

After Luzi returned, he didn't even drink a sip of water, so he pulled a few cartloads of grain, sent it to the tenants who rented the farmland in Fuzhong, and took some cotton clothes, mainly for the children and the elderly.

And these things are no more, no less, and they are enough to save many people's lives.

These people who planted the fields of Sufu really died a lot less this year, and as for other villages, they really didn't have such good luck.

Houses collapsed, people died, homes were gone, there was no food, they starved to death, and many more froze to death.

Su Qing ordered people to take out all the old cotton clothes they had worn before, or the clothes that didn't fit, only a small part.

Because all the clothes of the master of the house, if they are not worn, they will be taken away by the subordinates in the house, because they are all good clothes, and they can still be worn after changing and washing.

Although Su Qing's clothes are few, there is still a big box to pack.

"Lian'er, take out all your old clothes, and I'll let someone make new ones for you. Su Qing picked up a piece of clothing and compared it, it was really too short, if she wore it now, she would have to wear it like someone who wore L size and had to wear S size.

"It's been taken out a long time ago. Lian'er knew what her young lady wanted to do, and she had already asked the people in the house to take out all the old clothes.

Although they are all old clothes, although they are not too warm, but for the poor people, these are also good clothes that they have not seen.

"Hmm. Su Qing looked at Lian'er and smiled. Lian'er is really a very good girl, she must find a good family for Lian'er, so that Lian'er can live a rich life for the rest of her life.

"Miss is a good person, and a good person will definitely be rewarded. Lian'er was very glad that she followed Su Qing.

When she met Miss, she was starved and only had one breath left, and it was Miss who gave her a bite to eat, let people take care of her, and pulled her back from the ghost gate.

So Miss is the best master in the world, and her favorite person in her life is Miss.

Some masters are not inferior to others, but the young lady treats her like a sister, and keeps all the good things for her.

She swore that she would protect Miss even if she was desperate in her life.

"Ahh......h

At this moment, the curtain was opened, and Bariya walked in, and the cloaks she was wearing were stained with snowflakes of various sizes.

During this period of time, it first rained heavily for a month and a half, and then it snowed heavily for half a month.

She came by carriage from the Three Kings' Mansion, and met many refugees along the way, and this natural disaster destroyed many people's homes.

And the north is already colder than the south, and now it is October, the temperature is equivalent to November and December in the south, and many people on the streets are freezing to death.

"Ya'er, come and bake the fire. Su Qing greeted Bailiya and asked Lian'er to go to the kitchen to bring a bowl of ginger soup.

"Ah Qing, there are a lot of refugees outside, it looks so pitiful. Bailiya rubbed her hands, she was so cold, she felt cold when she wore so thick, so what should the people outside do.

Moreover, she heard from the third brother that the south side had only suffered a slight flood, and the imperial court had also allocated funds for disaster relief, and the disaster situation had been controlled, and the loss was not large.

But it was difficult to deal with in the north, and it was flooded and snowy, and my father was about to fall ill for this matter.

"Ya'er, you are a princess, there are many maidservants and eunuchs in the palace, and there are many old cotton clothes that they don't wear, or you can find a way to get the old cotton clothes out for those refugees to wear." ”

Bai Liya felt that Su Qing's opinion was very good, and clapped her hands and said, "Then I'll go back and talk to my father." ”

Su Qing looked at Bai Liya's hurried back and shook his head a little helplessly.

Bria was born in the royal family, and she doesn't know whether her temperament is good or bad.

This year's rain and snow came urgently, and the people in Beijing did not prepare early at all, and by the time they reacted, it was already too late.

This year's cropping was not harvested because of the rising water, and then the heavy snow suddenly made no one ready for the winter.

Even if she asked people to stock up on goods in advance, after all, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, and she could only help a small number of people.

"Miss, here are the bills and letters from the Comfort City. Luzi presented the bill for stockpiling to Su Qing with the letter.

Luzi hoarded 200,000 stone of grain, 30,000 catties of cotton, 1,000 catties of medicinal materials, and also hoarded some carbon along the way.

There are 600,000 stone grains, 300,000 catties of cotton, 3,000 catties of medicinal materials, and 3,000 catties of carbon.

The two sides together cost a total of 50 million taels of silver, and the hoarding on Fuzi's side was in Beijing last night.

She asked Fuzi to transport another 200,000 stone of grain and 2,000 catties of cotton to Xixiang County to relieve the victims, because that is the origin of chili peppers and the place where she first started.

Anle City also hoarded 500,000 stone of grain, 20,000 catties of cotton, 4,000 catties of medicinal materials, and spent 6 million taels of silver.

"You go and put the cotton in our shop and sell it, just at the market price. According to the capitation, each person can only buy six catties. Su Qing thought for a while and said. Six pounds of cotton is enough for an adult to make a set of clothes.

"By the way, first set aside 100,000 catties of cotton, and then make the cotton clothes in the mansion and the cotton clothes in the Three Kings' Mansion, two sets per person. ”

Su Qing suddenly remembered that there were still people in the Shadow Building who were also frozen, so he asked Luzi to leave the cotton out.

Moreover, Bailiya has already given Emperor Yihong a move, and I believe that the palace will soon donate a large number of cotton clothes, and the clothes for the refugees to spend the winter will be in place.

Su Qing only wanted to solve the worries of the wealthy households in Beijing, and let them take out the old cotton clothes for disaster relief, but there was no shortage of new cotton clothes to wear.

Moreover, many wealthy families in Beijing have not worn new cotton clothes, and if she takes these to help the victims, she is afraid that she will really be beaten.

And the cotton in her hand can only help some wealthy families, but the cotton clothes that rich people don't wear will help more people, and this is also the most effective method.

Although selling cotton can't get back to her capital, it can still reduce her losses a little, although this little money is nothing to her.

Su Qing came to the kitchen and asked Kang He to lead the people in the kitchen to set up a porridge shed outside the house, ready to give porridge outside the house.

She looked at the goose feathers and snow in the air, and couldn't help but have a trace of worry, she tried her best to help everything she could take into account, but she didn't know what happened to Su Changyun.
