Chapter 629: Love the people like a son

"God is going to freeze us to death!"

The people of Jiaozhou looked at the sky with a hole, and their wrinkled faces were full of sorrow and depression.

This year, they suddenly encountered a drought in Jiaozhou, but fortunately, the emperor Shengming recruited many strong men to go out to repair the reservoir, and the grain for disaster relief was distributed.

But who would have thought that this year's drought would make it snowfall so heavily.

The original abundant firewood was not enough to burn, so it was enough, and the food was consumed faster than before, and it was not enough to fill it with cold water.

The whole village is going to freeze to death.

However, this is not only the case in the village, but also in the surrounding villages, where a daughter who is married abroad wants to go back to her parents' house to borrow grain and firewood, but in the end she can't borrow a single grain of grass or rice.

That night, it snowed heavily, and the old houses in the village were directly crushed, and by the time the villagers dug them out, the old people in the old houses had already frozen.

"Disaster from heaven, disaster from heaven!"

The thick air of desolation swept through one village after another.

However, I don't know which day, a sharp-beaked monkey with a gong and drum came to inform.

"You all hurry up, let you bring twenty men into the town to receive food and charcoal, remember to bring all the household registration, otherwise you won't give food and charcoal!" The person who came said.

"What do you mean?" The villagers, who were almost in despair, were stunned.

"There is a team of officers and soldiers from the town, who have transported a lot of food and charcoal to distribute to the surrounding people, you all hurry up, but many people have gone over to receive it, and they may not be able to receive it if it is late." The comer waved his hand.

He also had to go to other villages to inform him that these two taels of silver were really not profitable, but he froze to death!

Although they all doubted whether his words were true or false, Li Zheng immediately ordered twenty strong men to come out, and then dragged the cart towards the town.

It's not easy to get to town all the way, because the snow is hard to walk, especially when the snow is not even halfway through!

The cart can't pass at all, but the cart is dead and alive, and the two strong men directly lifted the head of the country and carried it away.

I finally arrived in the town, and I saw the lively scene in the town.

"Which village are you from?" Someone in charge of the investigation asked.

"From Shanglin Village on Dongling!" Li Zheng was busy, and immediately took out all the household registrations, and the household registrations of the whole village were here.

"How many people have frozen to death in the village this year?" The cross-examiner asked again.

Li Zheng reported the number, so far seven people have frozen to death, but in the future, I am afraid that there will be very few people who can survive, because it is already the limit to persist until now.

After the enthronement of the inventory was completed, he gave him a plaque and said: "Okay, take this plaque and go over to receive grain, firewood and charcoal, every household is evenly divided, and the men and children are all numbered, and those who have not entered the household registration will not have it!" ”

Li Zheng didn't dare to have an opinion, so he took the men from the village behind him to line up to receive food.

"Shanglin Village, Dongling, 327 people, 654 catties of brown rice, 981 catties of mixed beans, 3,200 catties of red roots, 2 taels of beef jerky per person, a total of 6542 catties, 654 catties of charcoal, 981 catties of dry firewood......"

Li Zheng was like a dream, until the men in the village bundled these supplies to a whole trailer, but he still couldn't come to his senses.

There are already other villages next to it that have begun to line up, all of them distribute grain according to the registered population of the whole village, most of the food is the same, but the meat is different, some villages divide mutton jerky, some are beef jerky.

This Li Zheng was woken up by a cold wind and took people to the side to see if the supplies were full of sand, but no.

It's full of good food!

Li Zheng went to inquire.

"Don't you know? Our fish and meat people in Jiaozhou, the corrupt prefect was beheaded by the governor sent by the emperor to show the public! Someone said.

"Beheaded?" Rizheng was shocked.

"By the way, the emperor dreamed that our Jiaozhou and Qinzhou suddenly encountered a snow disaster, so he ordered someone to investigate thoroughly, and only then did he know that the prefect actually mixed sand in the grain distributed to us!"

"The emperor loves the people like a son, and he can't bear to let the people of Jiaozhou and Qinzhou next door suffer from the disaster, so he sent the imperial army to shovel snow all the way and escort the grain, grass and charcoal fire!"

"Long live the emperor!"

"Long live the emperor, long live it!"

“……”

On the third night of the third day when Li was carrying the men to deliver these food supplies back to the village, and the families distributed them according to their household registrations, the snowstorm fell, and the snow went straight to their chests, and the villagers couldn't even get out of the door.

That night, Chu Yue in the palace was finally able to sleep.

I slept for three days and woke up three days later, which was already the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Chu Yue woke up at night.

"What time is it now?" Chu Yue's head was a little dizzy, and when she was helped up by the maidservants, she was a little weak.

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year." Amber said worriedly.

"I've been in a coma for three days?" Chu Yue said in a daze.

"Hmm." Amber nodded, and said, "How is Niangniang feeling now?" ”

Chu Yue shook her head: "It's okay." ”

The magpie soon came up with a light porridge, and Chu Yue saw Qin Heng coming over as soon as she ran out, and was a little surprised: "Why does the emperor have time to come?" ”

Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, those who want to worship their ancestors, and according to the rules, they also want to rest at Queen Xiao's.

"Let the Imperial Doctor in." Qin Heng helped her to sit down and ordered.

When the magpie came out to see, Doctor Chang was already waiting, so he hurriedly invited someone in.

Doctor Chang has a pulse, but it is still the same old saying, weak. Except for weakness, nothing else can be called.

Qin Heng used to be angry, but now that he is much calmer, let him go down and prescribe a prescription, and then ask Chu Yue: "Do you feel unwell?" ”

"It's all the same old problem." Chu Yue didn't care very much, leaning on his arms, weak as a white lotus: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the concubine, this is not the first time, even if it is ...... The concubine was not afraid. ”

"Nonsense!" Qin Heng frowned, looked at her pale face, and said, "With my protection, you will definitely be fine, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, you should also pay attention." ”

"Then is the emperor going to the queen's mother tonight?" Chu Yue said softly.

According to the rules, he was going to Fengqi Palace to rest, but to the expectant eyes of the woman, Qin Heng's words to his lips became: "I will rest in Weiyang Palace tonight." ”

After speaking, he saw the woman's momentary gentle eyes, and said, "Rest early, I will get up early tomorrow." ”

The three days from the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the second day of the new year were very busy, even if everything was simple this year, and the empress was pregnant, but the sacrifice should not be less.

Chu Yue had slept for three days, and where could he sleep, but knowing that he was tired, he also leaned on his arms and lay on the bed with him.
