Chapter 134

However, Huo Shangjie and Hang Sihan already had countermeasures, and now that they have the power, it is more convenient for them to act.

Taking advantage of the night, they put the remaining food in the cellar of Huo's family.

Hang Sihan thought about the disharmony between his daughter-in-law and his mother-in-law, so he sent his daughter-in-law to the Huo family, left some rations for the Hang family, and repeatedly told them to hide the food, and never give it away because of soft-heartedness or other people's coaxing. go out.

The Hang family listened to him the most, and nodded their heads again and again at the moment, but they didn't pay much attention to the drought in their hearts.

If they can't make it through the capital, there will be no hope in other places. Besides, Hang Sihan is the imperial envoy, and no one will die of starvation or thirst without their Hang family.

Huo Shangjie hired a mason to temporarily raise the courtyard wall by three feet, and then densely packed porcelain fragments were built on the top of the wall. Layers of traps were arranged inside and outside the wall, and even the gate was replaced with a thick one.

He was worried about this, and even greeted Diao Er and the others, asking them to run to Huo's house five, six, seven or eight times a day, to help take care of things.

Zhu Jiayi looked at him in surprise, making some delicious food every day to nourish his body.

Arrangements were made in Kyoto, so that Diao Er must supervise the grain merchants and wealthy households hoarding grain when the drought is severe, and sell grain at a price no higher than [-]% of the usual price.

After reaching the amount of food they estimated, they will wait for a while, and when the people are about to run out of food again, they will open granaries to provide relief, and it will probably last until the beginning of next spring.

During this period, as long as it rains, the people can survive. If the heaven is still stubborn to embarrass the world, then they will transfer food from other places to the disaster area.

There are many methods, and they must be implemented effectively.

Therefore, Huo Shangjie and Hang Sihan each brought a part of Jinyiwei, one took the royal card, and the other held the sword, and the soldiers were divided into two groups to help the other 20 provinces survive the disaster.

Since the separation, Huo Shangjie has been brazenly sharing the bed with Zhu Jiayi.

Although both of them slept well, with a baby lying across the middle, their relationship heated up sharply, and the warmth between their brows and eyes turned into honey to nourish their hearts.

But when it was time to set off, Huo Shangjie became so busy that no one was seen.

If she hadn't seen the unwashed clothes that the man hurriedly replaced in the basin, and the dent on one side of the pillow, she wouldn't have known that her man had come back.

It was often when she was sleeping soundly that he came back on the moon, and when the sky was bright, he tiptoed away again.

It was rare that he came back early this afternoon, and the Huo family members gathered around when they heard the voice.

"Father and mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law," Huo Shangjie greeted once before looking at Zhu Jiayi, the fatigue between his brows faded, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to Hexi Mansion tomorrow morning , the return date is uncertain. But during the period, we will report the situation to the emperor in time, and I will put the family letter in it."

Huo's father was a little excited, and patted his arm, "You don't worry about running errands, your father is watching at home.

Isn't it always your ambition to serve the country and benefit the people?

Now you have finally taken the first step. We can't help you, but we will definitely not be your drag. "

Mother Huo also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, third child, you must take care of your health when you go out on errands, eat well and drink well so that you don't wear yourself out. Only when you are in good health can you handle errands well.

We don't go out easily in the yard, just waiting for you to come back. "

Several other people also expressed their support. Huo Shangjie nodded with a light smile, but Zhu Jiayi, who was usually restless, hugged the child, pursed her lips and bowed her head slightly, not expressing anything.

Mother Huo smiled, took the child over, and pushed Zhu Jiayi to her son.
