my lord, please eat

That night, after the young couple met, they could see each other's fatigue.

Xing Yihong is fine, he basically talks. Although he feels irritable and tired in his heart, he doesn't have much physical work after all.Gong Xiaoyong was different, he felt that he had never worked so hard in his two lifetimes.Cleaning the entire imperial garden is not as tiring as this.

Xing Yihong heard the report from the dark guard that Xiaoyong did a very good job, and he was very proud of himself.But I can't help feeling distressed. "Tomorrow, just move your mouth and watch them work. Don't stretch your hands. In addition, you turn two rows into five rows. There are ten more pots in the yard. I have already recruited quite a few people, and I will divide them into 20 people." For you, I specially selected some who know how to make food. Zuo Zhuang is the close guard of the emperor, and I will ask him to help watch it tomorrow, so you don’t have to work so hard. In addition, two porridge restaurants will be opened in the west and north of the city , and it can be finished sooner.”

Gong Xiaoyong nestled in his lord's arms. After relaxing his whole body, he felt that even his fingers were swollen and achy. "Even if I don't want to listen to you, I guess I won't be able to do it tomorrow. I used to watch TV, and I saw a hundred or so people. I didn't expect it to be so dark! Calculated in this way, the imperial court's [-] catties for disaster relief The food is really not going anywhere. Fortunately, there is a second batch of secret escorts, otherwise it would be really embarrassing."

Xing Yihong patted Xiaoyong on the back: "You can't take what you saw in the TV series seriously. Although Longyu is not a big place, there are tens of thousands of people. This is still nearly half of them escaped."

Gong Xiaoyong frowned: "It's not like everyone has no food, right?"

Xing Yihong smiled and said: "But who has the energy and manpower to investigate everyone? What's more, the grain harvest in Longyu and the surrounding area will definitely be cut off or reduced this year. There is nothing wrong with everyone wanting to keep their own rations. By the way, Imperial Physician Mo will give it to you. There should be a prescription for preventing epidemics in the prescription, right? I will copy a copy later and let Anqi do it. Today, the owners of two pharmacies offered to dispense medicine. Whether they bought it intentionally or sincerely helped the disaster, it is a good thing anyway .”

Gong Xiaoyong moved her neck, feeling a little more comfortable than the posture just now: "Then you really beheaded Qian Zhaozong and Ma Fuchun today?"

Xing Yihong nodded: "Yes. The Ma family took the body, and Qian Zhaozong's body was escorted back to Beijing. As for how many people should be killed, how many people should be imprisoned or exiled, it will take a few more days Only then can the calculation be made clear. Don’t talk about these unappetizing things. Go back to the villa and take a hot bath, and I will press it for you again. "

In the next five days, with more people and more pots, and after occupying two other places to set up the porridge field, the flow of people on the Yamen side increased significantly.And there are still quite a few people who have found work building dams, and there are two meals a day to eat there.So most of the people who come here are old, weak, women and children.Gong Xiaoyong also adjusted the food according to the changes in the number of people.Porridge is still porridge, but in the last two days, the porridge he prepared for the elderly, women and children included shredded chicken, shredded mushrooms and shredded bamboo shoots soaked in hair.In addition to the big bowl of meat porridge, each person was also given a steamed bun and two pieces of pickles.It is equivalent to allowing these people to eat two meals a day.

At the beginning, the common people didn't know what happened in their Longyu city.I thought it was the master of the county yamen who suddenly showed kindness.But then people started to know the truth.Of course, there is also the reason why Anqi and the others want to infiltrate and let the people know.But at this time, the common people are grateful to the emperor and the court, and all the hatred is blamed on those corrupt officials and profiteers.Therefore, in order to thank the Anyao King and the bodhisattva-hearted Princess Anyao who came to help them, and to rebuild their homes faster and better, the people who went to work worked hard.Even if they were looking for work, they began to take the initiative to tidy up the streets and some damaged places in the county.Therefore, the construction of the dam went very smoothly, and the situation in Longyu County was gradually improving.

The common people knew nothing about his evaluation of Gong Xiaoyong.After the six-day porridge market was over, he began to help his prince deliver food again.

The population of each family needs to be counted.But this matter has been counted during the porridge.Therefore, after calculation and averaging, together with the two disaster relief grains and the grain confiscated from Ma Fuchun and two other grain merchants who hoarded grain and raised prices, they were divided into uses.Half of them were kept by them for the daily expenses of those workers, and the 30 of them also had to eat.The remaining half was distributed equally to each household according to the population.As for those who escaped, they only reserved the smallest part, that is, grain seeds.As for what to eat when they come back, I'm sorry they can't think about it for the time being.One must first think about those who are still in Longyu and those who are still living in Longyu first.

Food is rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.Gong Xiaoyong would feel relieved when ordering food every day.Although he also knew that after the food was distributed equally to these families, each family would not be able to hold on for long.However, no matter how rich the court is, it cannot continue to supply it in unlimited quantities, not to mention that this internal turmoil has already consumed a lot of resources.Fortunately, Qian Zhaozong and the corrupt officials and profiteers involved confiscated tens of millions of silver this time. Apart from the cost of building dams, opening river channels and distributing disaster relief funds, some of the money can still be paid into the national treasury. .

After the money and food were distributed, Gong Xiaoyong was free.In the past few days, he began to follow his prince to inspect the construction of the dam.

There are 23 villages of different sizes under Longyu County.Among them, eight villages live by a river named Yuhe.The water of the Yu River looks quite wide now, but according to local people, when there is no flood, the river is usually only a dozen meters wide.But now it seems that this big river is still about forty meters wide.It can be seen that a large area of ​​agricultural land is still submerged by water.

Xing Yihong read a lot of modern flood control and disaster reduction materials in the past two days.Although there are many terms that he doesn't understand at all, he still has a general direction.He felt that just adding dams was only a temporary relief.If you really want to solve it, you have to consider planning the entire trend of the upstream and downstream of the river.He thinks that things like reservoirs, man-made diversion channels, and flood discharge dams are all good options.It's a pity that if you want to break ground on a large scale, you still have to submit a letter from the Ministry of Industry, and then the emperor approves it.Of course, he had already written a memorial for this question and had it sent to the capital overnight.

"Yihong, do you think it would be better to relocate all the people in these villages to safer places?" In Gong Xiaoyong's view, the terrain of these eight villages is really low-lying, even if it is such a large There has not been a flood in 30 years.However, small-scale floods, such as the flooding of a few acres of grain fields, occur every three to five years.

Xing Yihong shook his head: "Look at those people who are still unwilling to leave even if their house has become a muddy pond, you should know what it means to leave their homeland. And these people have lived here for thousands of years. It may be difficult for them to move away. It’s too difficult. Although there are often minor disasters here, the rice produced tastes great. If you look at Longyu County, it’s not difficult to know that the lives of people here are not bad.”

Gong Xiaoyong frowned: "But building dams is not enough."

Xing Yihong patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder: "I have already sent the memorial to the emperor. My opinion is to ask the Ministry of Industry to carefully survey the upstream and downstream waterways. Then plan where to divert the water. The river must be widened. I think the reservoirs and flood dams you built are quite good. Although it is not easy for us to do it, it is a century-old project. I believe that Brother Huang will make a careful decision."

"When did you watch those things?" Gong Xiaoyong was surprised.

Xing Yihong smiled: "After you fell asleep in the past few days, I looked it up on the Internet. Although there are still many words I don't know, and there are still many words I don't understand. But the general meaning is still understood. But I just look at the general idea, just Don't underestimate the skilled craftsmen of our Daheng. There are also many great people in the Ministry of Industry."

Gradually, the flood really receded.The Yu River regained its original width.The exposed fields are horrible, and it is estimated that the water content of the land will reach the level where it can be planted after this winter.However, those rice fields can be replanted with autumn rice, but it still takes time to raise seedlings.Fortunately, this is not the north, otherwise there would be no chance of replanting.

Fortunately, the flood did not cause too many casualties, nor did it bring a major epidemic.The doctors in those two pharmacies solved some mild symptoms of heat and cold.What's more, people also drank the "epidemic avoidance formula" written by Mo Xingyun.

The appearance of Longyu County has also changed a lot.The silt left after the water receded before was cleaned up, and the bluestone roads returned to their previous appearance.Some small businessmen also opened up.Although the price has increased slightly compared to before, it is not the result of driving up.Both Xing Yihong and Gong Xiaoyong felt that there was nothing wrong with such an increase.And the money that these common people get, saving some should be enough for them to live through the winter.

Because the houses in at least thirteen villages are basically useless, many people live in temporary tents in the temporary city.The people in the county didn't have much reaction to this.After all, those people have food, drink and work, which will not disturb their normal life.And after the disaster, there is an inexplicable sense of security when there are many people.

Of course, no matter where and when, there are always some people who want to show their "different".Those crooked-haired and mischievous ruffians will not disappear because of natural disasters.Before, I may have thought that everyone in the country had nothing to snatch or occupy, so I stopped.But now people are "split evenly".There are some people who have misbehavior.

At this time, getting something for nothing is the most abominable thing.Theft, open robbery, blackmail, etc. have also emerged as the normalization of life has resumed.

Xing Yihong handed over the investigation of official Shangjia to An Qi.After all, Lu Chengbo was also appointed as the grand tutor by the late emperor, so how could his apprentice be smart enough to punch, kick, read and endorse.In fact, the first emperor pointed out that Lu Chengbo, a strange talent, was Xing Yihong's tutor, because he had the desire to make the fifth prince the prince.And An Qi was also trained as a confidant of the future prince's important ministers.Therefore, Xing Yihong fully trusts Anqi's ability to handle affairs.Senior Brother An has indeed lived up to the heavy responsibility, and a new file is sent every day.

On the other hand, Xing Yihong, apart from looking through the files that were searched every day, gathered together and handed in the memorial.Then he has to take on the heavy responsibility of the temporary county magistrate, trialing cases on a part-time basis and so on.Fortunately, they are all trivial things, and the most serious thing is robbery and brawl.

But for the time being, the people of Longyu are of one mind.A few ruffians were sent to the government by the common people.Xing Yihong simply "examined" it.Then it was handed over to Zuo Zhuang to deal with.These people are simply scum and cancer. They are strong, but they don't talk about production, and they make trouble everywhere. It's really hateful.It's just not a capital offense.But prison is not a place for them to eat.As for how to deal with it, it is not something the prince has to worry about.

It's just that these "educated" hooligans are now deeply aware of their mistakes.Although Gong Xiaoyong didn't know what Zuo Zhuang, who was courteous and handsome in front of her, did to those people.But seeing that they all looked like they had seen ghosts after they left the county government prison, he didn't want to know the content at all.He felt that it was more important for him to keep his appetite.
