910. Chapter 910: Heat

The sun is like a fireball, burning fiercely. [--There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's faster than the general station.,There's no advertising in the whole text.] The weather was also swelteringly hot, and there was not a hint of wind.

Yuxi fanned the child and said, "This weather is so hot that it kills." "It hasn't rained since the last rainstorm. During this time, Yuxi, who was in confinement, was really spending her days like a year. Yuxi was fortunate to be able to endure it, but the three children were not successful. I had no choice but to put a pot of ice in the corner of the blue gauze cupboard.

Mama Quan handed Yuxi a bowl of red dates and white fungus lotus seed porridge and said, "There hasn't been a drop of rain for half a month, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Princess, I'm afraid it's really going to be a drought. "It's unusual, it's hot like last year, but it's not so sultry.

Yuxi drank up a bowl of porridge and said, "No one can stop it." However, it has only been half a month now, and it is still too early to say that there is a drought. ”

Mama Quan thought for a while and said, "Princess, it was because of the drought that I entered the palace. At that time, she was only six years old.

Seeing Yuxi looking at her, Quan Mama said: "Because of the disaster back then, the grain production in the field was strictly reduced. If it's just like that, you can still get two or three percent. But I didn't expect that after the drought, there was another locust plague, and all the grain in the field was eaten by locusts. "This is Mama Quan's own experience.

Yuxi's face stiffened, and he said, "Mama, do you mean that once there is a drought, there will be a locust plague next?"

Mama Quan nodded and said, "This situation is definitely not accidental. The princess can go and check the local chronicles. ”

Yuxi said: "Let's talk about it after I get out of confinement!" Yuxi still has three days to go out of confinement.

As he was talking, Yun Qing strode in and asked Yuxi: "Did you write a letter to Wu Kuo without telling me?"

Yuxi hummed and said, "I asked Wu Kuo to buy one million stone of grain, and let him pay the money for the grain first." What's wrong? Is things not going well?"

Yun Qing was so angry that he said, "Didn't I say that there is enough food and you don't need to buy it?"

Yuxi said to Grandma Quan: "Go and bring a bowl of lotus seed soup and bring the fire to the prince." "The weather is hot and humid, and the anger of the people is also growing.

After Mama Quan went out, Yuxi said, "I just talked to Mama Quan about the fact that it hasn't rained for a while. Mama Quan just told me that droughts are often accompanied by locust plagues. ”

Yun Qing's face changed, and he said, "What? Locust plague?" What I am most afraid of are three natural disasters, floods, droughts, and locust plagues. If there is a locust plague, the people will have nothing to harvest.

Yuxi nodded and said, "Let Tan Tuo and his eldest brother go to check the local chronicles to see if there is any record of this." If there are more than three such records, we need to take precautions. "The locusts passed through the border, leaving not a single grass behind, which shows the terrible nature of this locust plague.

Yunqing hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go now." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out. As for the question just now about why Yuxi asked Wu Kuo to buy food, he didn't know where to throw it away.

Yuxi shook his head and said to himself: "What can I do in the future with such an emergency?" Whether it is government affairs or military affairs, you need to maintain enough calm and reason. And Yunqing is far from reaching this level.

When Mama Quan came in, she saw that Yunqing was no longer there, so she put down the lotus seed soup and said, "The prince is out?" Hearing that she was going to check the local chronicles, Mama Quan didn't say anything more.

Tan Tuo and Han Jianming's movements were very fast, and they replied to Yunqing at noon. Han Jianming said with a solemn face: "Lord Wang, the local chronicles of Shaanxi have recorded a total of twelve droughts, seven of which were very severe, and these seven were accompanied by locust plagues. "This is an extremely strict thing for them.

Tan Tuo said: "Although it has only been raining for half a month, it is still too early to say that there is a drought, but we still need to take precautions. "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if.

Yunqing was silent and asked Tan Tuo and Han Jianming: "Do you think there will really be a drought?" In fact, until now, Yunqing still hopes that the drought is a false alarm.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "There will definitely be." Han Jianming was very sure that it was Yuxi who said that there was a drought, not an old farmer. Those old farmers were just used by Yuxi as a cover-up.

Tan Tuo said more tactfully: "Lord Wang, I asked a few old farmers a few days ago. They all said that the weather was unusual this year and that there was likely to be a drought. "The people below didn't know that there might be a drought, and they said that the weather was abnormal because of years of experience.

Yun Qing's expression was a little cold, and after half a sound, he said, "It will take a few more days for the grain to mature. "Food is the life of the people, and before the locust plague appears, the government forced them to collect it in advance, and they will not receive it.

Tan Tuo said: "The millet can be received in the warehouse in half a month at most, and this should be no problem." What I'm worried about now is that if there is a locust plague, the whole of Shaanxi will be left without a single crop. ”

Han Jianming suddenly asked, "What did Yuxi say?" It was impossible for Yunqing to think that the drought would be accompanied by the locust plague. So this matter is 100% related to Yuxi.

Yunqing shook his head and said, "Yuxi just asked me to check the local chronicles to see if the drought will be accompanied by the locust plague." Yunqing didn't understand how Yuxi could know about this.

Tan Tuo said: "Maybe we are thinking too much, there is no drought at all, or just a small drought. "The biggest problem now is that they can't control this kind of thing, so it's useless to worry.

Han Jianming said: "We have stored so much grain, even if there is a drought and locust plague, we are not afraid. "These grains are their confidence.

When Yun Qing heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "The princess asked Wu Kuo to buy a million stone of grain in Jiangxi and Anhui. This grain is already on its way to the northwest. Wu Kuo's movements are still very fast.

Tan Tuo said in a low voice: "If there is really a drought and a locust plague, then the princess is really the reincarnated Guanyin Bodhisattva." "They have been preparing since last year and have stored enough food. As Han Jianming said, even if there is a natural disaster, he is not afraid.

Yunqing said: "I still hope that this qiē is our unfounded worry. "When there's a drought, it's not just in the Northwest. The surrounding provinces will inevitably not be able to escape.

Tan Tuo and Han Jianming said in unison: "We also hope that what we are worried about will not happen." "When there is a drought or locust plague, the damage is incalculable.

Three days later, Yuxi was out of confinement. The first three times out of confinement, Yuxi had to wash three times. This time it was better than before, only washed twice.

Washing from head to foot, Yuxi felt that the whole person was relaxed. After taking a shower, Ok-hee sat down in front of the dresser.

Looking at the person with the round face in the mirror, Yuxi couldn't help pinching his face and smiled: "It's all meat, and it has to be reduced." "During the confinement period, Yuxi has lost a lot, but there is still a lot of fat on his body.

Mother Qu combed Yuxi with a high bun, which would make her face look smaller. Mother Qu said while combing her hair: "The princess is just right now, not fat or thin. "The older generation thinks it's a blessing to be fuller.

Yuxi chuckled lightly and said, "I can't wear my previous clothes, it's okay!"

At noon that day, the family gathered for dinner. After eating, Liu Er said to Yuxi: "Mother, you asked me to take care of Ah Hao for a month, and it has been a month now." "It's said to be taking care, but it's actually playing with Ah Hao. Liu Er herself is only four and a half years old, where can she take care of Qihao.

Yuxi smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" Is Ah Hao too naughty, so he doesn't like to play with him?"

Seeing this, Liu Er quickly shook her head and said, "Mother, although Ah Hao is naughty, as long as he coaxes, he will be obedient." It's just that I haven't practiced during this period of time and I've regressed, so I have to make up for it quickly. ”

Yuxi smiled and nodded: "From tomorrow, Ah Hao will be carried back to the main courtyard, and you don't have to play with him every day." ”

Liu Er let out a long breath.

Yuxi looked at Liu'er's appearance and chuckled in her heart. Let Liu Er play with Ah Hao, and it is really difficult for her. However, this month, Liu Er did not slack off, but did her best to take care of Ah Hao. For Ok-hee, that was enough.

Before taking a nap, Yun Qing said to Yuxi: "You can rest for another day, and then take care of government affairs the day after tomorrow!" He was really anxious during this time, if it weren't for the help of Tan Tuo and Han Jianming and a few other capable officials, he might not be able to hold on.

Yuxi smiled and said, "No need to rest anymore, let's start tomorrow! You are also tired during this time, and you can take over government affairs sooner as soon as possible." ”

Yun Qing happily agreed: "Okay, then tomorrow." "In a few days, you won't have to be busy from morning to night.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days and months have passed, and there has still been no rain for these ten days. The hot sun baked the small ditch dry, and the fish and shrimp in the ditch turned white.

Zao Zao was originally afraid of the heat, but it was hot and stuffy this day, she couldn't stand it anymore and ran to live with Liu'er. The sisters have a good relationship, Zao Zao is willing to live in her yard, Liu Er is very happy, and she also chooses the coolest house for Zao Zao.

Not only can't the jujube be stand the heat, but Qihao and Brother Rui can't stand it either. Ice was used at night, and the four brothers couldn't sleep soundly. If you don't sleep well, you'll get sick easily. Even Qi Hao, who is not sick on weekdays, is sick, not to mention Brother Rui.

The chickens and dogs jumped for a few days, and a few children were able to make a profit. Yuxi looked at the children who looked very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but discuss with Yunqing and said: "Qingzhu Courtyard is cooler, I want to move in with the children to live, what do you think?" Qingzhu Courtyard, as the name suggests, is a courtyard full of bamboo. One of Ji Xuan's staff members liked bamboo very much, so he ordered someone to transplant a lot of bamboo into the yard. After more than ten years, most of the yard is bamboo. Of course, it was not called Qingzhuyuan before, but Yuzhuju.

Yun Qing said: "Will Qingzhu Courtyard be too cold?" Qingzhu Courtyard is too shady, he is fine, but he is afraid that the four children will not be able to stand it.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "If it wasn't really hot, I wouldn't want to move inside, and when the weather cooled down, I would move back to the main courtyard." "It was so hot that the kids were eating a lot less than before.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "If you think it's okay, then move!" He also wanted to live in Qingzhu Courtyard, which was much hotter than Qingzhu Courtyard.

ps: Something happened today, the update may have to be postponed until ten o'clock in the evening, sorry.
