Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Chapter 700: Seven Years of Wende

Spring goes and autumn comes, a few cold and hot.

The spring of the seventh year of Wende came earlier than in previous years.

Just after the first month of the lunar year, the weather is gradually warming up.

People took off their thick winter clothes and put on light spring clothes, as if they were three catties lighter.

The other courtyard in the mountains is called Xiaozhu.

The warm spring sun passed through the window and fell on the two boys.

On the table are the homework of the two boys, and the desk is piled up.

The older one, writing vigorously, has a serious face.

The little one scratched his ears and looked out the window after writing a few strokes. Sitting in the study, the heart has already flown out.

Snapped!

The big one rolled up a ball of paper and hit the little one on the head.

The little one pouts and slanders, so he can only suppress his restless and playful heart and immerse himself in practicing basic skills.

The flower hall next door is bright and bright.

Gu Jiu leaned on the bed, smelling the breath of early spring, holding a book in his hand, seeming to be asleep.

The abdomen is obviously swollen, and it is obvious that she has been pregnant for a long time.

She put down the book and yawned by the way.

so sleepy!

She has been feeling sleepy since she was pregnant with this child.

As my belly bulges day by day, I always feel that I don’t get enough sleep every day.

She had a hard time with this pregnancy.

The morning sickness in the first three months almost killed her.

After the first three months, I thought it would be better, but I didn't expect my body to become heavier and heavier.

Going out for a trip feels like half my life is gone.

Take a book for entertainment, and feel exhausted after reading a few pages.

Gu Jiu caressed her abdomen, who told her that she was pregnant with twins this time.

Twins are much harder than singles, very, very hard.

She also has to restrain her diet,

Ensure a certain amount of exercise, and try to maintain a calm mood, she is exhausted.

When will the goods be unloaded! Gu Jiu yelled strongly again.

Ma'am, if you bear with it, there are still two months to go.

The maid Ah Qing squatted down and pinched Gu Jiu's leg.

Due to pregnancy, Gu Jiu's legs were swollen.

I couldn't fit my original shoes, and my pants were a few sizes too small.

She yawned again, Qingzhu is born next month, I remember correctly.

Ah Qing nodded with a smile, My Madam remembers correctly, she will be born next month. Sister Qingzhu's pregnancy is easy.

Envy her.

Qingzhu married Er Zhuang the year before last.

Er Zhuang's eldest son is not young, and marrying Qingzhu, at least he has settled a lifelong event.

Xiaocui also got married, and she married a young steward of the palace. I don't know when the two met each other.

Gu Jiu promised this marriage, and Xiaocui married happily.

The maids who followed her at first were all married.

The maids serving by her side are all carefully trained and promoted by Gu Jiu herself.

Ah Qing came from behind, she came late, but she was the most appropriate to do things, so Gu Jiu called her by name and asked her to serve her personally.

Nanny Fang is old and her energy is limited. I can no longer take care of the energetic brother Yu, Brother Heng.

She felt that she was old and useless, and she also had a fit of emotion. People also lost weight.

Gu Jiu said to her: It's just idle. Find something to do, and all problems will be gone.

Sure enough, Mother Fang went to the women's school to teach etiquette, and her spirit improved day by day. It's like a second spring.

Wang Yi's lifelong event has not yet been settled.

When Gu Jiu didn't go out, she went to the academy to teach a few peasant girls how to practice martial arts. Go back to Xiaozhu to live in the evening.

Xu Yousi was sent to the northwest.

The Four Seas Trading Company built a warehouse in the northwest, specially built for Xiliang trade.

Xu Yousi led his men to guard the warehouse, and he had to deal with the Northwest Army, which put him under a lot of pressure.

The house servant serving Gu Jiu now is Zhao Minfa, Deng Cunli's apprentice.

Gu Jiu said to Ah Qing: I'll lie down for a while, when His Highness comes back, remember to wake me up.

The servant helped Madam to lie on the bed.

When passing the small study room, Gu Jiu stretched out his head, glanced at Brother Yu and Brother Heng, Have you finished your homework?

It's almost finished. Brother Yu stopped writing, with a correct attitude.

Don't worry, write slowly. Gu Jiu smiled at the two sons.

Brother Heng jumped off the chair, My son helped his mother back to the room.

After speaking, he rushed to the door.

Gu Jiu patted his head, Do you want to be lazy again?

Brother Heng wrinkled his nose, My son is showing his filial piety.

Little slick. Gu Jiu scratched his nose, After taking me back to my room, you can rest for a quarter of an hour.

Mother is so kind. Brother Heng smiled happily.

Gu Jiu reminded him again, You must finish your homework today, and you are not allowed to let your brother do your homework for you. Brother Yu, you are not allowed to do your homework for your brother.

Brother Yu's face was serious, Mother, don't worry, my son promises not to help him with his homework.

When Brother Heng heard this, he suddenly felt that he had nothing to love.

The little face was wrinkled into a bun.

So angry!

Gu Jiu slept until evening.

Stomach growls.

Ah Qing took a few little maids to wait for her to get up and wash up.

Your Highness just came back for a while, and saw that Madam was sleeping too soundly, and couldn't bear to cry out. Now His Highness is checking the homework of the two young masters, and lost his temper again.

Did you not do your homework well? Why is he losing his temper? Gu Jiu changed into a cotton underwear, which was very comfortable.

Ah Qing whispered: Second Young Master's homework is not good enough, Your Highness is not happy.

I'll go and have a look.

Gu Jiu put on her large embroidered shoes and went to the small study.

Liu Zhao's roar could be heard from afar.

This is the homework you spent a day doing. What the hell did you write? You dare to show this kind of homework. You want to piss me off on purpose, don't you?

Son, don't dare! A weak and aggrieved voice was about to cry.

The homework is written like this, why don't you dare. Do you think it's aggrieved to ask you to do homework? I tell you that all homework is rewritten, and you are not allowed to eat or sleep if you don't finish it. Take back your tears, dare you? Try crying, I will beat you to death.

Brother Heng had no choice but to withdraw his tears, he was so wronged and wanted to cry.

Is it your own?

He must have picked it up from the trash.

woo woo...

Brother Yu can't help.

Brother, my brother also came here in the same way.

The more times you do it, the more you get used to it.

Gu Jiu stood on the corridor, looking at the sky speechlessly.

She dragged her heavy body to the small study.

As soon as she arrived, Liu Zhao's roar stopped abruptly.

Switch from roar to tenderness in just a second.

Why are you here! Watch out for your feet. Since you're tired, lie down and rest.

After finishing speaking, he went to the door again and supported Gu Jiu with his own hands.

Gu Jiu said with a smile: Lie down for a day, come out and walk around. Why are you yelling at them again, what is not doing well, you can just teach it slowly.

I didn't yell at them, I just pointed out a few words. Liu Zhao said nonsense seriously.

Brother Heng looked at Gu Jiu pitifully, with innocent and wronged eyes.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Let Brother Yu supervise Brother Heng's homework, so don't make trouble here. Look how scared the child is.

Liu Zhao changed his face in a second, and glared at Brother Heng fiercely, How could he be scared, why didn't I see it.

Gu Jiu laughed angrily, Follow me out, don't delay the child's homework.

Liu Zhao dare not follow.

He sent Gu Jiu out of the house first, and then warned the two sons behind Gu Jiu's back, Do your homework honestly. Brother Yu supervises your younger brother, if he doesn't write well, he will punish you as well.

Brother Yu secretly sighed, It's really hard to be the boss! It's even more difficult to be the boss of the Liu family.

Still the happiest child.

At this moment, Brother Yu actually began to envy the younger brother or younger sister in his mother's womb.

Liu Zhao supported Gu Jiu and walked in the garden.

The afterglow of the setting sun is very warm.

Not surprisingly, tomorrow will be another sunny day.

Gu Jiu casually asked: Going to the palace today, is everything going well?

Liu Zhao said casually: That's it. In a few days, the imperial court will formally promulgate a ban on alcoholic beverages, prohibiting all grains from brewing alcoholic beverages. Once found, they will be severely punished. Even sweet potato wines are not allowed to be brewed. Only Shaofu's winery, every year Quota brewing.

Gu Jiu understood, This day is still here.

In the past ten years or so, I don't know what happened to God.

Throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, drought and floods took place in turn.

The year before last, major grain-producing areas suffered floods that were rare in a century. The rice that had been working hard for a season was about to be harvested, but when the flood came, it was all destroyed.

Last year, when spring plowing and planting were in need of water for irrigation, the main grain-producing areas suffered from severe drought. For three or four consecutive months, there was not a single drop of rain.

The affected areas stretched for thousands of miles and suffered heavy losses.

The problem of not enough food was suddenly highlighted and placed in front of the court.

In previous years, there were frequent natural and man-made disasters in various places, and the distribution of food across the country was still able to cope.

The reason why it can still cope is all supported by the main grain producing areas.

As long as there are no problems in the main grain producing areas in the south, under the auspices of the Ministry of Households, the disaster relief food problem can always be solved.

But this time, the disaster spread to the main grain producing areas.

For two consecutive years, there was no harvest.

The imperial court's food reserves have almost bottomed out.

The liquidation of government positions in various places has been so empty that mice are running.

The Jing warehouse in the household department is also half empty.

The remaining half, no matter what, dare not use it.

It's only February, and there are still several months before the summer harvest.

There are two to three million people in the capital, but they all count on Jingcang for food.

All the grain in the Jingcang was transported to the disaster area, and the capital would suffer from famine.

You know, of the millions of people in the capital, more than 90% are landless people who rely on buying food to cook.

Once the grain shop does not sell grain, there will be chaos in the capital.

Chaos in the capital is tantamount to shaking the country of Great Zhou.

However, the disaster victims in the south had to be rescued.

Sweet potatoes can solve some problems, but not all problems.

Seeing that spring plowing is coming, where do the seeds come from? How to solve the food problem of the disaster victims?

If these problems are not resolved, there will be chaos in the south.

The chaos in the grain-producing areas is not far from the chaos of the whole world.

You know, the west and the north have been dry all these years. Except for sweet potatoes, there is still a little harvest, and other crops are almost finished.

These places are all counting on the south to deliver food to survive.

The troops stationed at the border are also counting on the delivery of food from the south.

The whole world is counting on the grain-producing areas in the south.

As a result, there was no grain harvest in the grain-producing areas for two consecutive years.

This is really killing me.

Promulgating the prohibition order at this time is actually a bit late.

People in Dazhou are good at wine.

From south to north, everyone likes to drink.

Ordinary wine can't meet people's needs, and only finely brewed grain wine can be considered a real good wine.

Five catties of grain and one catty of wine.

Every year, in order to brew wine, the grain lost is incalculable.

All the food has been turned into wine, which means that some people will go hungry.

People can only buy food at high prices.

In the past few years, the imperial court issued repeated orders, and the folks were not allowed to make wine without permission.

But it can't stop the big family from brewing wine.

This time the imperial court issued the ban on alcohol, and it was also forced.

Only a formal decree can stop the big households from making wine. Only in this way can the local government have a law to follow, and it will punish the crime of brewing wine without permission.

Small people making wine is nothing, but big family making wine is really scary.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of catties, millions of catties, or even tens of millions of catties of grain are wasted to make wine.

Who makes drinks more profitable.

Large and large households mean that there are many people.

Feeding so many people requires money.

Where does the money come from?

Naturally what to do to make money.

The brewing business is so profitable and stable for a long time, big households will naturally not miss such a profitable business.

There are so many fields and so much grain in a big family, it is just right to use them to make wine.

All the grain is used to make wine, so there is no surplus grain for people to eat.

It is not surprising that food prices have risen accordingly.

Coupled with the frequent occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, a vicious circle has been formed.

Gu Jiu said casually: Sweet potato wine is not allowed, so the wine shop will be closed. Sweet potato wine tastes bad, the price is low, and the profit is not high. It doesn't matter if you make it or not.

Liu Zhao nodded, I will tell the people below to close the wine shop.

Gu Jiu said: The ban on alcohol only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

Everyone knows that the ban on alcohol is a temporary solution but not the root cause, but we have to do it. The problem now is where to get a batch of food to solve the urgent need.

Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu with deep meaning.

Gu Jiu squinted at him, Don't look at me, I can't make food.

Liu Zhao said, You can! I know you can!
