Chapter 275: Relentless Heavy Rain
Yang Hu and his wife went to Sanssouci Island to spend the secret moon, and three before they left, Yang Jiulang and his wife came, "You can rest assured to go back to Wolf State, if I go out with your mother, I will call you or your eldest brother's family to come over to guard, Sanssouci Island will always belong to your husband and wife, and your father and mother know what it means to the two of you", Yang Jiulang said.
On the ninth day of the first month of June, it began to rain, Yang Hu felt bad, and immediately with Yang Lu and Diao Yuzhu, he brought a black cavalry battalion and 10,000 cavalry, worked overtime to put the peasants' grain, crossed the original grain collection greenhouses in various cities, and only wrote the names of the heads of each family on the cloth bag and put it on the shelf of one and a half meters high under the greenhouse. Heavy rain fell for four or three nights in a row, three feet of water on the flat ground, all the residents could not even cook, and could only climb to the roof to be rescued, including the palace, in desperation, Yang Hu led a thousand black knights and all the people of the palace to the top of the Black Mountain, and found more than 1,000 floating large iron pots from the water, in the only deep forest on the top of the Black Mountain, began to boil beans, boiled dried corn, boiled wheat grains of the cliff, by Yang Hu, Yang Lu, Diao Yuzhu each took seventy subordinates, wrapped the cooked grain into a tight bandage with the oil paper that was floating in the water to ensure that it could be used, and threw different oil paper packets to the people on the roof, and this boiled twenty-five, the water did not know where the disciples went, and the local residents could also cook, but the crops in the field were also dead, and even the grass was dead, and the closure of the eighteen entrances blocked the outsiders, and also blocked the people who went out, and nearly four million people in Wolf Prefecture were dizzy with hunger, but there were no dead people, and the families of the cavalry relied on the high terrain, There is little stagnant water, relying on the cooked grain and cow and sheep milk sent by Yang Hu and them, they finally survived, although the cattle were so hungry that they couldn't even walk, but they didn't die at all, only the grass left in the high places was still alive, and the others were all dead, but there will always be new grass growing again, take your time, and the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao people, In fact, as soon as the rain stopped, they dried the sprouted grain to the roof, and finally left half of it, and the grain of the treasury was only more than two meters saved, and all the sprouts underneath, but they were reluctant to throw it, or dried it for backup, and the landlord's family was even more reluctant to throw it, but dried it and saved it again.
Yang Hu asked the residents to bring back their own food, except for the lack of vegetables and salt, but they were finally able to survive. Yang Hu and the three of them went to the salt farm, and exchanged grain for salt, and exchanged a lot, because there is no good grain now, and the people in the salt field are also very happy, and after they go back, they put all the salt in the sugar shed on the top of Montenegro, and distribute it to various government offices according to the head, and then supply it according to the number of people in the family.
The eighteen entrances of the wolf state have already been closed, and posted a notice, the wolf state is closed, the opening date is uncertain, but the earliest will be to the mid-autumn of the next year, during the closure period, all tenants leave, the rent can be refunded the remaining part, can also be postponed to the opening, everything is as they are, and the local residents are not allowed to leave the wolf state, the eighteen entrances are all enabled in the wartime mode, the inside of the wolf state people out, the outside of the outside of the people to enter, the wolf state people completely isolated themselves from the world.
The rations left by the local residents of Wolf Prefecture can be eaten at most until the Chinese New Year, and the residents of the grassland do not have food, but they have livestock, and if they supply some of the grain, plus milk, goat's milk and meat, they should have the best life, and there are not many people, only a hundred thousand, so he asked Yang Lu to bring the supervisor and tell him to supply the herdsmen according to the standard of each pound of grain per person, or buy, or borrow, and pay for the purchase at ninety percent of last year's market price, and return the borrowed at the market price, but the state government has no processing capacity, and they need to solve it themselves," The prince doesn't have to worry about this, when they came to Wolf State, they all brought grain processing furniture, and it was useless to be idle", well, you let 10,000 cavalry lead their families to the Wangdu Granary to receive a year's worth of grain and transport it back. The herdsmen were so rich that none of them borrowed grain, they all bought it directly, and they did not have any difficulty at all, they took the grain they had just bought, and sang songs and went back to the grassland.
Residents in other places have not yet borrowed grain, and Wolf State can be fine for the time being, but now that it is about to enter August, and autumn has just begun, what can be planted? But the land is not dry, and there is no way to cultivate, and the wheat is about to be planted, and the livestock of each family will not be able to walk, and the people are almost the same, and if they don't raise it, it will be all over, so they issued a notice, which is exactly the same as the herdsman's notice, but the place where the grain is bought is collected in their respective cities, and they must be received within ten days, and they will not wait for the expiration, so they will take off 1.5 billion catties of grain again, and Yang Hu is surprised that there is no one who borrowed grain, all of them were bought with cash, and the silver recovered amounted to more than 10 million taels. "Fourth brother, Li Mountain, quadruplets, Poison Valley, Baishi Mountain, and Yangjiazhai are all built on high mountains, there is no loss, we don't want our food, the third brother, the fifth brother and the fourth sister-in-law's mother's family have not been affected at all, of course, they will not want it, but they are all brought back, I just sent them to the big stock", "Okay, let's eat and rest."
It was time to go out for a walk, handed over the affairs of Wolf Prefecture to the sixth brother, and flew around with Jiao Yuzhu over the Liao State, and suddenly found that the fifth brother and their family were in the middle of a high wave half, and they could not store water at all, so they flowed away on the spot, and there would be floods? So what is the purpose of the prince's trip?", "Check the disaster situation, when is the right time to provide relief?", "Why don't you use the state government?", "I can't trust your officials", "Approximate reasons?", "Does the emperor still remember the snow disaster of that year?", "Of course I remember", "When my father Yang Jiulang sent 500 million catties of grain to Liao, and the victims were 100 catties per capita, it was free, okay?", "Wolf Prefecture has always been very generous to the relief of the disaster in Liao, and the people of Liaoguo are also very grateful", " Liao State borrowed one billion catties from the Great Song Dynasty, and then lent it to the victims, two hundred catties per capita, your ancestors are also delicious enough, right?", "I know this, and it is also what the ancestors should do", "But in the end, how much did the victims get?", "How much?", "Each disaster victim got five catties of free relief food and ten catties of borrowed grain", the emperor of Liao State's face turned blue, and asked weakly, "How does the prince know about this?", " My fifth brother happened to be displaced to the disaster area and was adopted by a Liao couple, this is his personal experience, because their family of three was in the hard-hit area at that time, and eighty percent of the victims had to move south, and there were countless deaths and injuries", "How did Brother Ling's family survive that disaster?", "Although my brother was very aware of the disaster, his family prepared four times as much hay for the cattle in previous years, and had saved rations for two years before the snow, and after the snow, they snapped up another year before the grain price rose, and could the rations for three years starve them? And none of the animals died?" 。
