The noble daughter of the splendid medical picture should be married

Chapter 226
Li Yuanbai's accommodating to Huo Qiqi made Zhang Wu and the others secretly startled.The last three thought about it in private, and felt that the reason why Li Yuanbai valued Huo Qiqi was simply because Huo Qiqi knew a little bit about medicine.

Of course, this kind of speculation can only be said in private, the three of them have absolutely no guts to gossip in front of Li Yuanbai.

Everyone came out of the disinfected room and went back to their rooms to change their clothes.

The dinners for several officials were brought from the kitchen by their respective servants.

Dinner is very simple, half-thick and half-greek rice porridge, plus two black thick-faced steamed buns.If such a meal is placed in the capital, they are not even willing to take a second look.But after they walked on Nanping Street today, they felt too deeply, so no one was critical, let alone complained.Everyone honestly finished their meal in the house, and everyone ate very seriously, and no one had leftovers.

After dinner, Li Yuanbai asked everyone to go to his yard, because Zheng Zhifu brought a group of officials to visit Li Yuanbai specially.

Huo Qiqi and Zhang Wu are officials on Li Yuanbai's side, and they want to meet them out of reason.

After the two sides met and got to know each other, they took their seats.

"The rainy season is almost over. As long as there is no continuous torrential rain, the possibility of the Weihe River breaking its embankment will be much lower." Zheng Zhifu carefully reported that he is in his early fifties this year, and it is almost impossible for him to continue to rise at this age. sex.

He is a cautious person. He has worked very hard in the position of magistrate for so many years.Although he can't be regarded as Master Qingtian, he is not a fatuous and greedy person. He has small problems, but he will not make big ones.

After working so hard for so many years, Prefect Zheng didn't want to make big mistakes in his last few years of office.So when he heard that the sage had actually sent the sixth prince over, he immediately wished he could rush back to the city.However, the epidemic was severe, and the people had no food to eat. Some victims were no longer safe and showed faint signs of riots. He did not dare to leave easily, so he had to stay outside the blocked village.

"Tomorrow, we will open the granary to release the grain, and let the Li Zheng of each village receive the grain with the names of the villagers, ten catties per person." Li Yuanbai ordered to go on. "This time, my prince also brought a batch of money for disaster relief. You arrange people at the gates of the four cities to help people with porridge."

"This?" Zheng Zhifu listened to Li Yuanbai's order, with a troubled look on his face.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Li Yuanbai's face was displeased. "If there is any embarrassment for the prefect of Zheng, just say it."

"Report to the sixth prince." Prefect Zheng knelt down to Li Yuanbai with a puff.

"Say." Li Yuanbai said concisely.

"Reporting to the sixth prince, Nanping has come to summer in the past years, and the rain is very abundant. This year is even worse. It is estimated that nine out of ten of the crops in the people's fields will be destroyed. It is not bad for them to have [-]% of the harvest. Over the years, the emperor The grace is so great that the Holy Majesty reduced the taxes of the people in Nanping by [-]%, but even so, after the people pay the grain every year, there is not much left. The grain in the grain depot is even more pitiful. Dare to lend some of the grain in the grain depot first, so..." The more Zheng Zhifu said, the more frightened he became, the more he spoke, the lower his voice, and the sweat on his forehead kept dripping down his cheeks.

"So you want to tell me that there is not much grain left in the grain depot, don't you?" There was a suppressed anger in Li Yuanbai's voice.

"The lower official deserves to die, please forgive me, the Sixth Prince." Prefect Zheng was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he kowtowed to him non-stop.

The faces of the officials who followed the prefect Zheng were also very ugly.

"Sixth prince, the prefect of Zheng also opened a granary to distribute food privately for the sake of the people. Please forgive me once." An official knelt down to Li Yuanbai and pleaded for Master Zheng.

Huo Qiqi watched with cold eyes, but she admired the prefect Zheng.In ancient times, officials opened warehouses to release grain without permission. If they were investigated and dealt with, it would be a capital offense.Prefect Zheng is willing to commit crimes for the common people, this kind of courage is really rare.

"Reporting to the Sixth Prince, it is the idea of ​​the lower officials to open warehouses to release grain. If the Sixth Prince wants to take people, the lower officials are willing to bear it all. I also ask the Sixth Prince not to blame the prefect." A man who looked like a master also knelt down for Li Yuanbai up.

"Reporting to the sixth prince, this matter has nothing to do with the lower officials. When Mr. Zheng opened the warehouse to release the grain, the lower officials tried their best to stop him, but Mr. Zheng insisted on going his own way, which led to today's situation." A county magistrate People, explained with some heartbreak.

"The lower officials have also stopped Mr. Zheng, but Mr. Zheng did not listen to persuasion."

There are also a few officials who want to draw a line with Master Zheng and the others.

Zheng Zhifu knelt down on the ground, but he didn't dare to refute, but the sweat on his face became more intense.

Seeing this, Zhang Wu and the others shook their heads secretly. They really didn't like the few officials who made trouble.

"How much grain is there in the granary?" Li Yuanbai didn't talk to any of them, but asked him what he cared about coldly.

"Reporting to my lord, the grain in the granary is less than three thousand shi." Zheng Zhifu replied tremblingly.

Huo Qiqi didn't know much about the ancient units of volume.One stone is about 90 catties, three thousand stones...Come on, after calculating the result, she almost fainted.Just such a little food, to feed the people of a state, is worse than a glass of water.

Of course, this incident also shows from the side that the people in Nanping are really suffering.

"Prefect Zheng, let's put aside the matter of you opening the warehouse privately. You immediately send someone to cook porridge overnight and prepare the porridge for tomorrow. Wait a moment, you and the master stay here, the prince still has something to ask you, The rest of the officials should leave immediately. Tomorrow, you will arrange manpower to be responsible for the safety of the porridge." Li Yuanbai said.

Everyone promised in a promise, and after taking a sneak peek at each other, they dispersed.

Huo Qiqi and Zhang Wu also went out with the officials, and went back to their own yards.As for what Li Yuanbai said when he left Zheng Zhifu, Huo Qiqi said that she didn't care at all.

But she can be sure that Li Yuanbai will definitely worry about food tonight.

It's not that she's heartless, she's not an official, so she can't control that kind of heart at all.It is true that she can produce a lot of rice in her space, but the key point is, if she takes out food, how will she explain it?

It is estimated that she will not be rewarded for doing good deeds, and others will definitely treat her like a monster.

People don't kill the world for themselves, between others and themselves, Huo Qiqi is still willing to choose to keep himself.

"Seventh son, when will Chen Desheng bring their medicinal materials and what we want?" Jing Mu asked.

"Seven or eight days at the earliest." Huo Qiqi said with a sigh.

This night, even though Huo Qiqi didn't want to worry about the food, she still didn't sleep well that night.As long as she closes her eyes, countless yellow and thin faces will shake in front of her.
