Chapter 650 Drought in Guanzhong

Chen Chong was relieved to see that Concubine Zhen was really no longer angry. The last thing he wanted to see was the fight in the harem. Now that Concubine Zhen was gone, he was relieved! Then he looked at Peony and asked:

“You maid is so smart! What were you talking about just now?”

Peony heard Chen Chong boasting about his cleverness, and opened his eyes with joy, and said:

“Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. I chatted with Empress casually.

Concubine Zhen also echoed:

“Yes! She is telling me about my childhood.”

Chen Chong suddenly realized that, after a few words to comfort the concubine Zhen, he returned to the palace. An express delivery of 800 miles came from Shaanxi that day. Chen Chong opened it and was shocked! Then he ordered all the ministers of civil and military affairs to be called.

It turned out that there was a severe drought in Shaanxi this year, and there was no rain throughout the summer, resulting in no harvest of grains, starvation everywhere, and cannibalism in some places. It is terrible 03 to see.

The crowd came to the main hall and were at a loss for a while, but seeing Chen Chong’s frown, it was not a trivial matter, otherwise he would not call all the ministers in a hurry.

At this time, the prime minister Xun You stood up and said:

“Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting to be summoned in a hurry, what happened?”

Chen Chong handed the expedited express to Xun You. Xun You took it and took a look. He couldn’t help but take a breath, his face changed! The others didn’t know. So, seeing the prime minister’s face turned black, he hurried over to take a look, everyone was shocked Now! There was a lot of discussion in the hall.

“Your Majesty, for the present plan, we should hurry to Guanzhong to check the disaster situation and see if we can remedy it. At the same time, we should appease the local people and ensure that their lives are not affected.”

“Your Majesty, as the saying goes, disasters are ruthless, and people are compassionate. We should save the people as much as possible and minimize unnecessary casualties.

“Your Majesty, Guanzhong has been the key to the Central Plains region since ancient times, and it is also the birthplace of Chinese civilization. We must spare no effort to do a good job in the aftermath and strive to minimize the loss of the people.”

After listening to everyone’s opinions, Chen Chong made an important decision and said:

“Lian is going to go to Guanzhong in person, eat and live with the people, and try to recover the losses caused by the disaster. All the people in Guanzhong will be resettled!”

“The emperor Shengming!

The next morning, Chen Chong took Lu Xun, Gan Ning, and a team to the Guanzhong area. All the people saw along the way were homeless people, Chen Chong was heartbroken, and couldn’t help crying! He immediately ordered Gan Ning to distribute silver taels and dry food to everyone along the way, so that they would not be hungry. .

After entering the Guanzhong area, Cheng Zhong couldn’t help being shocked. Looking around, the entire eight hundred miles of Qinchuan was suddenly and suddenly, and no grass grew, and the crops were dry and cracked. Even the mice starved to death a lot.

Dingzhou is the worst-hit county. Chen Chong and his entourage came to Majia Village. It is said that the village did not receive a grain of grain this year. Chen Chong came to a farmhouse and walked in. The three generations of the family had nine people in total. People live in this small courtyard with one entrance and two openings.

Seeing the hungry face of the whole family is yellow, thin and skinny, Chen Chong couldn’t help crying. Immediately they took out dry food from the car to satisfy their hunger, and gave them some broken silver. Everyone was grateful to Chen Chong and knelt down to express their gratitude.

The youngest in the family is only six years old. She is a lovely girl. She should have had a carefree childhood. However, this little girl was carrying the burden of the family prematurely. The girl did not even have a decent dress. It hurts a little bit.

Chen Chong immediately ordered Gan Ning to go out and make a new dress for the girl. After the girl put it on, she jumped happily and shouted:

“I have new clothes! Never use exposed flesh in 587 again!”

It sounds so sad that this drought is really too serious. It has brought huge losses to the people and created irretrievable leeway. Chen Chong couldn’t help but feel distressed and tried his best to minimize the loss of the common people.

Chen Chong bid farewell to this family and prepares to go to the next Lijia Village. Compared with Majiacun, there is nothing worse than Majiacun. When they left, the whole family came out to bid farewell to Chen Chong and his party. The little girl’s immature voice said:

“Big brother, when will you come to my house again? The clothes you gave me are beautiful, and the kids are all boasting! They said that I have a good brother, and I will introduce you to them next time I come, and I will give you a gift. Woolen cloth!”

When Chen Chong heard it, his nose was sour, the little girl was so cute! He hugged him up and said:

“Soon, I will see you when my brother finishes his work.”
