Chapter 259: Drought Breaks

Returned to Wan'an County, took Anima and Gu Moore to join them, they didn't have a house in Wan'an County, and Ye Shaoguang was not the kind of person who liked to dispose of property, so he found a suitable small yard, and gave a few taels of silver to rent for ten days, Wei Lin and Yang Xihe were the fifth wedding in early September.

In the next few days, Ye Shaoguang didn't go out, at most he had nothing to do to walk around the county, but Wen Tingzhan's letters in the past few days were very frequent, sometimes he could receive three or four letters a day, and his face was calm every day. Ye Shaoguang didn't need to ask to know what it was, in the golden autumn season, many places have not seen a drop of rain for a month or two in a row, and the drought has broken out in the north. But Wen Tingzhan didn't mention it, and Ye Shaoguang didn't ask much.

On this day, Wen Tingzhan finally took the initiative to ask Ye Shaoguang: "Shake, do you know when there will be rain in the north?" ”

"North?" Ye Shaoguang said, "You tell me the specific city." ”

"Baozhou area."

"Mid-October." When the astronomical chaos occurred, she carefully calculated the rain in various places in the next six months, and the Baozhou area was the most drought-stricken area, and it would not rain from May to mid-October.

"There's still more than a month to go." Wen Tingzhan's face changed, "The emperor sent a letter, Chenzhou, Yongzhou, Changde, Hengzhou, Yuezhou, Tonggu, Wukai and other government guards did not rain from May to July, and the people were starving. There has been no rain in Baozhou so far, and it has been cannibalism......"

"The imperial court should do something." The drought should have been visible from April, but at that time she was deeply trapped in the Yao tribe, and she had already revealed it at the beginning of June, and now it has been three months, and the court should have done everything it should have done.

"The imperial court has already distributed grain to the north in July and began to build a reservoir to store water, but the drought in Baozhou is too serious, and there has never been a precedent for three and a half months of rain without falling, even if they have grain in their hands, it is in vain to have no water to cook." Wen Tingzhan sighed heavily.

"This is a natural disaster, and there is nothing that can be done." Ye Shaoguang shook his head, this is not a previous life, and there is no possibility of transferring water.

In fact, she has a way to ask for a rain, with the purple spirit bead, the chance of success is very high, but there are too many places affected by the disaster this time, she doesn't want to cause fire, it is her duty as a cultivator to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but it is not the case to save the people from natural disasters and man-made disasters.

In the next few days, Wen Tingzhan's face was very solemn, in fact, Ye Shaoguang cared about him very much, and really wanted to say indifferently, he had not yet entered the officialdom, these were not his responsibilities, he could help each other, and he couldn't and didn't bother him, but in the end she still didn't say it. Sooner or later, Wen Tingzhan will have to face these things, let him participate earlier, and with experience, he may be able to quickly come up with measures to deal with them in the future.

Because of the drought, Wei Lin, who is also a scholar and has a heart of worrying about the country and the people, discussed with the Yang family again, the wedding was simple, and the participants were not invited, only those who were particularly close to them were invited, and about sixty-six tables were placed, and there was no flowing water seat.

After attending the wedding, Wen Tingzhan couldn't wait to go home, because many things were not convenient to deal with outside, and Ye Shaoguang naturally did not delay, and they returned to their homes on September 10th.

Ye Shaoguang was busy processing the harvest reported from all over the country, most of which were the industries that Zhong Yaofan gave her, there were thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of acres of land, more than half of which were affected by the disaster, and the harvest was not ideal.

There are more and more displaced people in Yuzhang County, and Taihe Town has become more and more crowded, fortunately, Mengling has done very good preventive measures, found a large number of people in advance, and vacated a large piece of space, every day will send a doctor to sit at the gate of the county yamen, anyone can enter the city, first of all, to ensure that there are no diseases that may cause the plague, if there are people with these diseases, they will be cured in a special place at the gate of the city now, and then enter the city.

The essence of the Meng family was revealed at this time, from the doctor to the medicinal herbs to the daily soup porridge food is from the Meng family, of course, no matter how big the Meng family is, it will be hollowed out, so Meng Ling invited the squires from all over Luling County to drink a cup of tea, and donated five hundred denier grain in public, Wen Tingzhan also represented their family on Chinese New Year's Eve, very cooperative donated a thousand denier of grain, and the Yang family joined in donating a thousand denier, all of which were bought in advance from the night shake light and sent out, under the coercion of such a situation, those people also had to give blood once, Most people are still very generous, after all, they know that the disaster is serious, and once there are too many displaced people to eat, they will be the first to break into the mansions of rich people like them.

This is also the reason why Wen Tingzhan suggested that Meng Ling should not restrict the entry of displaced people into Luling County.

Subsequently, Wen Tingzhan suggested that Meng Ling set up a donation station, so that the donated squires would personally distribute disaster relief materials on behalf of the entire team, and change one person every five days, according to the order of the number of donations, so that these people could be truly grateful and remembered by the displaced people in person.

So in the second fundraising, the squires are very good to talk and take the initiative, Luling County received 10,000 displaced people in three months, no record of illness and death, such data, reported to the imperial court in November, when the Golden Palace read it out, the hall was in an uproar, except for the informed Chu Emperor Shi and others, the rest of the people could not believe the numbers they heard.

The saint immediately praised the Meng family, and the name Meng Ling was also recorded in the Sacred Heart at this moment.

"It's finally raining in Baozhou, and this time the Ministry of Household and Ministry of Industry can be described as hard work." After three months of busy work, Wen Tingzhan finally relaxed his tense emotions.

In the past three months, Rao is night shaking light has changed the method to make up for Wen Tingzhan, he still lost a lot of weight, Ye Shaoguang looked very distressed, and reached out and pinched his face that didn't have much meat: "You have also worked hard, look at how thin you have become?" If I don't plan to go out again a year ago, and stay at home carefully, I won't believe that I won't come back. ”

"Okay, good, listen to the shaking." Wen Tingzhan hurriedly curryed favor.

"Why didn't you listen to me earlier?" Ye Shaoguang snorted coldly, "Just a fool, how many things have you done, not only did we donate 10,000 deniers of food, but how many heavenly machines did you take from me?" But I haven't seen anyone thank me, you're still happy! ”

Wen Tingzhan was silent, he knew that he had to pretend to be stupid at this time, but when he saw that Ye Shaoguang kept counting him, he immediately had an idea to change the topic: "I'll tell you something that makes you happy." ”

"Say!"

"Yunke father and son are dead."
