Great Ye Empress

Chapter 172 Benefits
Xie Yunchu has not slept, waiting in the front hall.

Soon, as she expected, the guard escaped and informed Xie Yunchu that he had been stopped.

Xie Yunchu nodded and handed another letter prepared in advance to the guard: "This time, the six of you are walking together, and you must deliver the letter to Uncle Clan as quickly as possible..."

The sooner the letter is sent, the sooner Xie's people will come, and maybe a few fewer people will die.

In this second letter, Xie Yunchu told his uncle about Cairenpuzi.

She bluntly stated in the letter that she did not know whether the clan had fields and grain in the disaster-stricken land.

The famine will pass sooner or later, and with fertile land in hand, the people who can survive the famine will always survive, and will become Xie's tenants or even slaves.

Hopefully, Mrs. Xie also has fields and grains in the disaster-stricken area, and can save more people, so that the victims can stop eating people and survive.

But the premise is that her clan uncle... is willing to follow her advice.

After all, the nobility has always attached importance to interests.

Now that the disaster-stricken areas in Qinzhou are revolted by the victims, the situation is unstable, and the land that may be exchanged may not be his own in the end.

She can only try.

Xie Yunchu lowered his eyes, and Ji Jingci's words did not live in his mind...

——Not only do you have a way to save the disaster victims in this county, you also have a way to save other disaster victims, and even more... save the world!

That night, Xie Yunchu couldn't sleep.

She opened the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

The breeze is gentle, and the shadows of the trees are whirling.

"Set up your mind for the world, set up your life for the people, set up a legacy for the sages of the past, and create peace for all generations..."

Now Xie Yunchu does not dare to have such great ambitions.

But she still wanted to try, to save those mothers who were willing to give up everything to protect their children, and the children who had to protect their mothers regardless of their lives.

Their final result should not be reduced to a vegetable shop and become the food in the belly of others.

Ji Jingci was right. Today, she saw the mother and son at the Cairen shop, the baby and the mother, and moved with compassion.

But this disaster-stricken place is vast, and there are many other places. At this moment, it is impossible to say that this human tragedy is happening.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

To help the world, she may not be able to do it...

But she does have this opportunity, she can save those mothers and children, and she can also become an official... The world that allows these mothers and children to survive will become better in the future.

At least, when the next natural disaster comes, let them not become the meal of others.

Early the next morning, when Xie Yunchu came to Ji Jingci for his morning class, he met Li Nanyu who had changed into casual clothes and was about to go out.

Xie Yunchu was a little surprised, and after saluting, he asked, "Senior brother, are you going out?"

Li Nanyu nodded: "I just came here and told Master, I want to walk around this county and draw what I have seen and heard. Master has already approved it. I think nothing can truly make people feel the horror of natural disasters than drawing. , I will write a record in the future, accompanied by paintings, so that later people can see the tragic one or two of today."

Indeed, there is nothing more tragic than painting.

Xie Yunchu nodded and reminded Li Nanyu to pay attention to safety, and asked the two dead soldiers sent by Mrs. Xie to protect her to go out with Li Nanyu.

Li Nanyu quickly declined: "Liu Lang, you don't have to worry, Master has asked Qingfeng to follow me, and there are guards to protect it, and it will be fine."

Xie Yunchu only said: "I'm in the house, it's safe and sound, and my brother is outside. If you don't want Master and me to worry about it, it's better to bring some more people!"

Hearing this, Li Nanyu couldn't refuse, so he could only accept Xie Yunchu's kindness.

That day, Li Nanyu didn't come back until late at night, and dinner was not used.

I heard that after taking a bath, the elders around him were sent away, and he was alone in the room sorting out drawings and records.

For several days, Li Nanyu went out early and returned late, and he had more drawings and records in his hands, but the more he had, the heavier his mood became.

Today, after Qingfeng came back, Li Nanyu went out to paint and told Ji Jingci that someone was following Li Nanyu: "Master, do you want to deal with people?"

Ji Jingci, who was reading a book under the lamp, remained motionless, picked up the teacup, and said in a gentle voice, "If it's not necessary, don't hurt people's lives."

Qing Feng heard the words: "Yes!"

Before Ji Jing resigned, he secretly revealed that it was to bring two disciples from aristocratic families to experience the sufferings of the world.

And Liu Lang is smart, and has already made arrangements for them to come to this disaster-stricken land... to exchange food for slaves for the purpose of benefiting the gentry.

Those people are not a last resort, nor will they take risks and embarrass the gentry.

So Ji Jingci still thinks that if it doesn't hurt people's lives, it won't hurt people's lives.

Seven days later, Xie Yunchu received a letter from his uncle sent by Quick Horse.

Because of Xie's "small tea party" on the first day of the first lunar month, Xie Yunchu woke up to the fact that Xie's should start to set up a land in Qizhou, and Xie Lao valued Xie Yunchu.

The clan uncle said in the letter that he could send someone to escort food and grass to pick up the victims as Xie family slaves...

As long as they are willing to sign the deed of prostitution, they can give food and take the victims to Qizhou for resettlement.

Xie took the victims from the disaster-stricken area to Qizhou for resettlement, which relieved the pressure on the court and gained a good reputation.

As for what Xie Yunchu said, the matter of exchanging food for land in disaster-stricken areas in Qinzhou... involves the interests of the imperial court and the royal family.

Coupled with the revolt of the victims, the situation is unstable, and it is still unclear whether it will be profitable to exchange food for land.

In fact, the clan uncle did not agree, Xie Yunchu could have expected it.

Xie Yunchu had already thought of the reason written in the letter from the uncle of the clan before he sent the letter, but he just gave it a try with a glimmer of hope.

"Jiuye has already arranged for someone to escort the food and grass, and the villain is one step ahead to deliver the letter to Liulang. The food and grass should be there tomorrow at the latest." The steward beside the clan uncle respectfully said to Xie Yunchu.

Nowadays, no one in the Xie family knows. Xie Yunchu is highly valued by Mrs. Xie, and he is already Duke Yuan. He has a promising future and is naturally respectful.

"Okay! I understand..." Xie Yunchu responded.

"Forgive the villain's remarks, Rokuro... The victims in this disaster-stricken area are vicious. It's better for Rokuro to leave here as soon as possible." The steward said.

"I'm following Master on this trip, don't worry about the steward." Xie Yunchu glanced at Yuanbao, "The steward has come from a long way, you take the steward to rest first."

After Yuan Bao left with the steward, Xie Yunchu sat in the chair, holding the letter from the clan uncle in his hand in silence.

Not long after, a servant came to report, saying that Qingfeng wanted to see him.

Qing Feng came and saluted Xie Yunchu: "On that day, Rokuro ordered to send someone to find some children's skeletons. Yesterday, I ordered people to take the skeletons out of the house to bury them. Sure enough, someone went to check them!"
