After reconciliation, abandoned wives and cubs farm the fields

Chapter 456 Not Peaceful

When they revised the map of the world, Wu Yun's plots would no longer be hidden.

This is a fighting method inside Yunhai City, and the world has no way of knowing it.

The world is fighting against the sky.

The problem of drought is becoming more and more serious. Nearly half of the counties and counties in Wei State are short of water and food. In some places, rice cannot be grown, and only potatoes and wheat and other drought-tolerant plants can be grown.

Although it may not be as comfortable as in a good harvest year, but it will not be hungry.

As for those places where there is no drop of water, if no wells can be dug, they can only rely on disaster relief, try to control the number of refugees, and try to reduce the number of people who die of hunger and thirst.

Su Nanzhen has donated a lot of food, but it is just a drop in the bucket.

It is impossible for food to be delivered to the disaster area in a steady stream. There is still a need for sufficient food in the market to maintain a relatively reasonable price, so as not to cause unnecessary panic and stop the common people from hoarding food.

Aristocratic families can do things that ordinary people cannot do. The emperor has explicitly prohibited the aristocratic families from hoarding grain during this special period, and Su Nanzhen has also limited the amount of grain purchased by each person.

The rule is to prevent gentlemen but not villains. Some people secretly want to prepare more food. If she can avoid it with Su Nanzhen, she can avoid the rich people from buying food repeatedly.

In fact, most aristocratic families have their own farms. If there is not enough food, it is estimated that they have not increased income and cut expenditure.

The Hou Mansion does not eat white flour and rice every day, and occasionally prepares some coarse grains as the staple food.

When the little prince came to the Hou Mansion for dinner, he ate a meal of coarse grains, and the emperor praised Pei Song's meal in the court hall, and said that the palace should also set an example.

The emperor has expressed his position, and the civil and military officials naturally dare not act extravagantly.

The coarse grains on the dining table of the Zhongyonghou Mansion changed from an occasional meal to a daily meal, sometimes breakfast, sometimes dinner, Su Nanzhen slandered the prince countless times.

It's not that they are serious, it's that the emperor is serious. He really puts this matter at ease. The next day someone has a good meal, he will bring it to the court and tell it, which makes all the civil and military officials tremble with sincerity, and they look at Pei Songzhi even more. This instigator did not go well.

Why didn't they think that the prince had stabbed this matter out, and they couldn't blame him if they wanted to.

The prince was concerned about the country and the people, so Pei Songzhi rewarded him with a set of history books as encouragement, asking him to read it carefully, learn from history, and be a good emperor in the future.

Of course, this set of books is for him to read carefully during the Chinese New Year, and he will talk about any problems after the Chinese New Year.

Successfully dissuading the prince from wanting to visit Zhongyonghou's mansion, Pei Songzhi left the palace briskly.

Back at the Hou's Mansion, the mansion has just been cleaned, but the mansion has not been decorated in a big way. This year has passed quietly, and it is likely that they are not the only ones.

The Lu family also practiced frugality, but those delicate concubines in the backyard were not happy, and they clamored that they were not as good as farm meals.

Mrs. Lu can no longer be used to them and protect her purse tightly. If they are dissatisfied, let them find Lu Youdao.

Lu Youdao didn't have much money in his pocket, they could only use the emperor to scare them when they made a fuss, and when they got annoyed by the quarrel, they directly said that if they were dissatisfied, they could leave at their own request, so the concubines kept their mouths shut.

It seemed that there was one old friend who really wanted to leave the Lu family freely, but the others didn't have the guts to stay obediently without protesting.

As for the Mu family, there has been no news from Mu Yishu for a long time. They don't have much intention to make food, and it is not difficult for them to endure hardships. Shu is not there.

But on the night of New Year's Eve, the Mu family finally brought Mu Yishu back in the middle of the night, and he also accidentally detoxified the poison on his body.

The next day Mu Yishu came to visit and said that he wanted to write a letter to Hong Jiao to tell her the good news. The letter had already been written and he wanted to ask Pei Songzhi to send it to Hong Jiao.

Pei Songzhi accepted his letter, promised to send the letter, and learned about his detoxification process.

"Wait, which county are you talking about?"

"Guangning County."

"The drought in Guangning County is very serious. It is unexpected that there is still water in the mountains."

"When I came back, I also heard about the drought. The people in Guangning were starving and the fields were deserted. I didn't understand it at the time. It was really strange to hear what you said.

It is understandable that there are droughts in other places, but it is a bit strange that the people at the foot of the mountain can’t grow food. It’s just that there is really no water in the mountain stream. At that time, I was still wondering why there was no water. You doubt all this Is it artificial? "

Pei Songzhi was silent. He hadn't thought about it at first, but thinking of what Niu Niu said, all of this may be due to human factors, but he couldn't imagine that someone could call the wind and rain.

Those are probably people.

He didn't get involved in this matter, but he still suggested that Mu Yishu go to the palace and tell the emperor about it. Cutting off the people's water source is too sinister to let the other party succeed.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Mu Yishu entered the palace again to inform the emperor about it, the emperor immediately asked him to take charge of the matter, went back to Guangning County again, and asked him to choose an assistant.

The candidate for the assistant was Pei Songzhi, and Mu Yishu immediately reported his name.

The emperor understood and agreed at the same time.

Pei Songzhi never thought that Mu Yishu would sell himself out like this, and lead such an errand for the New Year's Eve.

The old lady heard that he was going to do business, but she just told him to be careful, the things ordered by the emperor must be done beautifully, and it is not easy to do this.

Things like the drought and the White Lotus Sect have not been resolved, just like Master Wei can't come back even if he wants to.

As the drought continues, those affected by the disaster are likely to rebel, and now there are successive incidents of burning, killing and looting, and the governors of the following states and counties are facing unprecedented pressure.

Pei Songzhi knew a thing or two about these things. Although Mu Yishu was with him when he went to Guangning County this time, he still made some preparations and asked Dandan to do a fortune telling for Su Nanzhen and Niuniu.

It's just that Eggy can only figure out that his mother is not in any danger. As for Niuniu's matter, he really can't figure it out.

"how about you?"

"I'm fine, everything is fine at home."

Mu Yishu urged him outside, so Pei Songzhi had no choice but to end the whisper with his son, walked out of the study, walked in front of Su Nanzhen, and took the bag she handed over, "The family will be hard on you."

"It's not hard, you have to take care, and you have to be careful when you go out." Su Nanzhen was very reluctant, but had to send them away.

Because Pei Songzhi was worried about their safety, he only brought Qingsong and Ah San with him. Of course, Mu Yishu also brought his followers and a hidden guard.

The martial arts of the four of them are not weak, but the outside is not peaceful, Su Nanzhen reluctantly sent them off one after another.

"Madam Pei, please stay." Mu Yishu glanced at the gate of his house, and said firmly to Su Nanzhen.
