After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again
Chapter 142: Empty Government Warehouse
A glimmer of light flashed between Gu Yanan's dark eyebrows. He looked directly into Su Jinhua's eyes with a cold tone.
"Then let's muddy the waters and let them fight each other!"
The atmosphere in the room was a little solemn, and there was a sense of danger in the air.
The next morning, Gu Yanan appeared early at the gate of the yamen, with Su Jinhua standing beside him. The two seemed to be waiting for Shen Rujun to come.
Seeing this, Shen Rujun's eyes flashed with slight surprise, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up in a forced smile.
"Is the prince feeling better today?"
If it were in the past, Gu Yanan would probably still be staying in the house, but today, he seems to be in much better shape.
Gu Yan'an coughed lightly and nodded slowly.
"It just so happens that I have recovered well recently, so I want to go to the farmland to check the situation."
His voice was still so low that it didn't even give people the feeling that there was anything wrong.
Magistrate Yang showed a faint smile on his face. He bent down slightly and spoke softly.
"That's good. There is still the largest piece of farmland in the county, and it is now abandoned. It's a good opportunity for you to see if there is a chance to save it."
His attitude has always been extremely gentle, and one can even tell that he is trying to please others on purpose.
Gu Yanan's dark eyes were deep, without any fluctuations. His emotions did not fluctuate at all, and his tone of voice was flat.
"Lead the way first."
Taking into account the inconvenience of his wheelchair usage, County Magistrate Yang specially prepared a carriage, but this time he was honest and the carriage was ordinary, without any special efforts to make things difficult for him.
Several people came to an open space, and at a glance, they saw that it was really polarized.
Drought will kill you, and floods will kill you!
In stark contrast to the farmland we saw before, the plants in this area close to the water source grow extremely densely, but once they move away from the water source, the plants begin to dry up and no grass grows.
Seeing this scene, Su Jinhua frowned, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"How could such a strange phenomenon happen?"
It has been a long time since it rained in Gutian County, and the water from a small river nearby is far from enough.
Shen Rujun leaned his hands behind his back, his expression extremely serious. He shook his head slowly and sighed slightly.
"It hasn't rained for a long time, and they rely on this one river. Naturally, over time, they don't want to grow crops anymore, so they naturally become abandoned."
Especially the land is so dry that it has cracked, and even the soil will fall apart if you pinch it. You can imagine how water-scarce this place is.
There was a look of worry between Gu Yan'an's eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and his thin lips were pursed into a line.
"Then how can the people survive? Is there really no food left in the government warehouse?"
He seemed to be asking casually, only concerned about the survival of the people.
Shen Rujun remained almost expressionless, slowly lowered his brows, and immediately nodded, with a hint of helplessness in his words.
"The food in the government warehouse is not enough. Many people are waiting to eat, and the food that was distributed has already been used up."
Ordinary people naturally cannot afford rice, but the rich families have money in their hands, so they can eat whatever they want. Unfortunately, the common people are the ones who suffer.
"Plus, the people didn't have any harvest, so they can only rely on the food distributed by the court, which is not enough."
Gu Yanan's eyes turned cold instantly, but it was concealed well and no one noticed.
Su Jinhua observed carefully, holding the soil in his hands, and dug a little deeper, he could feel the wetness of the ground.
She gently patted the dirt in her hands and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"We can grow some rice here, but the taste is worse than brown rice."
As soon as she said this, County Magistrate Yang's eyes lit up slightly and he immediately asked.
"Does the Crown Prince have any solution?"
His idea was very simple. If the people could cultivate the land, he could earn more money.
Su Jinhua casually pulled out a few inconspicuous grass seedlings under the big tree and held them in front of them.
"Look, there are wild husks here. Most of them are used to feed chickens and pigs. The taste is very different. The main thing is that they are not full rice grains."
If you look carefully, you can see that when you pinch the millet, it will bend inwards. When you touch it, you will know that it is not solid inside. Ordinary people naturally don't want to grow it.
The harvest was so poor that even after working all year round, we still couldn’t make ends meet, and no one was willing to work.
Hearing this, Shen Rujun's eyes showed a hint of disgust and he let out a light breath, seeming to be extremely dissatisfied.
"I think this is totally unnecessary. This place has been abandoned for a long time. Apart from a few weeds under this big tree, there is nothing to see for miles around. It's not worth it."
It has long lost its value to be planted, so why bother?
Su Jinhua's eyes were full of smiles, he blinked his eyes, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and asked softly.
"Do you usually study agronomy?"
Her eyes are very bright and dark, and you can't see the bottom of them at a glance. Instead, your appearance can be reflected in her eyes.
Shen Rujun had a feeling that his true identity had been exposed for some unknown reason. He was suddenly speechless and seemed to have no idea how to respond.
"I... it's just not suitable anyway!"
His voice was slightly raised in volume, as if he was hiding something.
Gu Yanan sat in a wheelchair, a cold light flashing in his eyes, then he slowly raised his eyebrows, with a hint of inquiry in his voice.
"Take me to the official warehouse. I happened to be here, and it's not far away anyway."
A few days after they arrived, Shen Rujun pretended to hand them a map of the city. It happened that this place was indeed nearby.
County Magistrate Yang had a calm expression, but his eyes were filled with growing worry, and he nodded heavily.
"Well, I'll let you see that there's not even a grain of rice in such a large government warehouse."
He led the way in front, and Gu Yanan and Su Jinhua sat in the carriage, swaying all the way to the government warehouse.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I could see soldiers guarding the door. If you didn't know, you would think there were some gold, silver and jewelry inside.
Su Jinhua pushed Gu Yanan inside, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, but it was well concealed and no one noticed.
They stopped in front of a huge door. County Magistrate Yang took out the key he carried with him, immediately unlocked it, and slowly pushed the door open.
I could only feel a cold and chilly atmosphere coming from inside. The surroundings were very empty, as if they had not been used for a long time.
County Magistrate Yang's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river) and there was a hint of helplessness between his thick eyebrows. He let out a long breath.
"It's in the government warehouse. It's been abandoned for a long time. As soon as the grain arrives, we distribute it to the people. But this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one. It can only help for a while, but not forever."
