"If you take out this food, you should be able to resist it for a while. After hearing this, Jian Yun looked up at the village chief opposite and said.

Of course, the village chief knew that every family had surplus grain and hoarded a lot of grain, but he didn't want to take out this grain until it was absolutely necessary.

Seeing this, Jian Yun sighed slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

"I know what people are thinking now, they are afraid that if they take out their own food, there will be no food to eat if there is anything else, but if we can help each other, each family can help the more serious areas, and we can work together to deal with this drought. Jian Yun stood at the door of the village chief's house, looked at the people below and said.

This time, the people below were silent, and when they heard what she said, the villagers also thought to themselves in their hearts.

"I want to tell you something, we can take this thing out, but if it is taken out, no one dares to guarantee that if it can't survive in the future, there will be no food to eat, and every family will have to eat." A person stood up, looked at Jian Yun with an embarrassed expression and said.

Jian Yun also knew that although they had been stockpiling grain last year, no matter how much they stocked up on grain, the stored grain would not be enough for the family to lose in a year, and now that there was no harvest in the field, if they were to take out the grain, they might have to gnaw bark and grass roots in the second half of the year.

"That's it, there are few people in my family, let's start with me, I will first take out a bag of grain, send it to a place like Pingzhou, Suizhou, to the people over there, as for the other villagers, you can go to the mountain, the weather is not too cold now, go to the mountain to find the snow that has not melted, and then pick it back, melt it and then pour it into the ground, it should be able to last for a while." Jian Yun said and commanded the people below.

After hearing Jian Yun say this, those people suddenly realized, yes, why didn't they think of this?

Looking at Jian Yun, and then at themselves, suddenly for a moment they felt that they were too selfish, but if they were not selfish in front of such a thing, it was really ......

"If there is something that can't be solved, you just tell Leng Yun, and he will naturally help you." Xue Gao saw Jian Yun coming back, looked up at her, and asked puzzledly.

When Jian Yun heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"You yourself stay up all night here and work overtime, and you're still talking about me?" Jian Yun said as he sat next to Xue Gao, Jian Xiaoyi had already cooked for both of them, which made Jian Yun a little surprised.

The meal was put in the pot, and after it was done, Jian Xiaoyi went to study.

"Okay, how about it? I heard you say today that you went back to Jianjia Village to collect grain, how much grain did you collect?" Xue Gao raised his head as he spoke, looking at Jian Yun with some curiosity and asked.

But Jian Yun's face was a little not good, looking at her like this, Xue Gao knew what was going on.

"You don't have to worry too much, although they don't want to take it out now, but if you wait a little longer, they will probably not be happy. Xue Gao gently patted Jian Yun's back as he spoke, and then led her to the table and sat down.

On the table was a pile of official documents, which were about the disaster in Suizhou, Pingzhou.

The moment Jian Yun sat down, he inadvertently saw the official documents related to the disaster, and he was a little curious.

"I thought your imperial brother would want to send you over this time to take a good look. Jian Yun said as he pointed to the words on the fold.

The fold said that he was going to send the minister in the capital to deal with the matter.

Xue Gao suddenly laughed when he heard this.

"Although you don't have anything to do when you look at me on weekdays, it doesn't mean that I really don't have to do anything, the reason why the royal brother didn't call me to go is because there are more important things for me to do. Xue Gao looked at Jian Yun meaningfully as he spoke.

When Jian Yun heard this, he didn't quite understand, what else was important?

"Those imperial merchants actually dared to take advantage of this disaster to deliberately raise the price of things, they didn't know what kind of impact their increase in the price of rice and flour would have on those victims. Xue Gao said, his face involuntarily showing a little resentment.

Jian Yun was a little surprised when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, the task given to him by the emperor was to let him rectify those imperial merchants.

"Most of the imperial merchants have the support of court officials, if you suppress them so rashly, I am afraid that those people will be unhappy again, and they don't know how to wear small shoes for you behind their backs. Jian Yun said with a smile.

"Don't worry, if they want to use this to trap me, it will not be easy, but the most important thing to fight the imperial merchants is that we must have enough food so that we don't have to rely on them, and we can ensure that we can solve this drought smoothly. Xue Gao said and looked at Jian Yun with some embarrassment.

When Jian Yun heard this, he instantly understood what he meant.

The emperor is now anxious about this matter, although Jian Yun doesn't really want to participate in the affairs of the imperial court, but in the end, this matter is related to Xue Gao, and she has to take care of it more or less.

"If we rely on the food we provide, it will definitely not be enough, so I wonder if I can find some more food from outside during this time, but as Aunt Zhang said, the drought in Pingzhou, Suizhou, has a very big impact on our dynasty, and if we want to collect grain on a large scale at this time, I think the price I can come up with is not very low. Jian Yun sighed slightly as he spoke.

The most important point is that those imperial merchants must have purchased those grains faster than Jian Yun.

She doesn't have a lot of money in her hands now, so if she has to compete for food with those imperial merchants who have been united by several families, it will be very stressful for her.

"Otherwise, I'll apply with the imperial brother another day, and let him allocate you a sum of money to buy it in your name, so that you have money again, and you can solve the urgent needs of the imperial court, wouldn't it be a matter of killing two birds with one stone." After thinking about it, Xue Gao came up with such an idea.

Jian Yun thought carefully when she heard this, and she felt that it was feasible.
