"The natural disaster in Mausoleum began more than 20 years ago. At that time, there were already scattered refugees. Since the Battle of Chuanling, the phenomenon has become more and more serious. My plan is that today we will first set up a porridge shed to give relief to the refugees." Chu Chu circled the first article of the "Strategy for the Tomb" in his hand and pointed it to Chai Lian.

After seeing it, Chai Lian shook his head, "General, we don't have enough food. The people's food is only enough for them to feed themselves. It is impossible to use it to help refugees."

Chu Chu also frowned. Naturally, he couldn't ask the people for food. It is very difficult to maintain his small family's livelihood under natural disasters. Three-quarters of the mother, all relying on a well at home, is struggling to raise lotus root and earn money to buy food, but the well also has dry seasons, so the old man gnaws on the leftover rotten lotus root.

It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice [1], what’s the use of having an idea, it’s useless if it’s not put into practice, Chu Chu was in a state of desperation, he was thinking about it, how about telling him something while Gu Zhai was on his way to deliver a letter?No, no, should I ask Gu Zhai for help directly in the letter?

In the end, they were rejected one by one. The distance from the water is hard to quench the thirst. It is not a short distance from Beijing to the mausoleum, and I am afraid that it will have to wait for several days.

He suddenly remembered something, and took Chai Lian straight to a certain palace, where the supplies that Gu Zhai had prepared for him were stored. He opened the snakeskin bag with a dagger, and there was rice in it!Chu Chu counted the number of about half a carriage.

"Xiaohua, we are saved, we have food! There are also grain seeds!"

"General, every three stones can save one person. Based on this calculation, we need at least 3000 million stones of additional food, even if we make up for our rations..." [2] In a concise and concise manner, Chai Lian let Chu Chu understand this Some food is not enough.

Chu Chu smiled at Chai Lian, and explained: "Don't be too greedy, at least you can give away enough porridge today, you can find a fire master... No, I'll cook the porridge myself, first find some people to set up a shed to support the pot ."

At three poles in the sun, the extremely simple porridge shed had already been set up. Song Li and Xie Lan were a little disgusted, and Chu Chu beat them one by one: "'If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons. 'How ugly is my porridge shed!" [3]

Song Li and Xie Lan shook their heads together, neither ugly nor ugly, what you like is the best.

Chu Chu nodded in satisfaction, Chai Lian still worked hard, saying that the porridge shed was set up, and these two!

He turned his gaze to Song and Xie, and rolled his eyes, "You two, don't be idle, go out and help me find a water source." Chu Chu took out a map from his sleeve and handed it to Song Li and Xie Lan , "Go and find out if there is any water source on the mausoleum today, whether it is big or small, mark it on the map. If there are still rivers that have not stopped flowing, draw the water system map. It is hard work for you two. Be sure to ASAP."

Xie Lan would still listen to Chu Chu's words. Before coming, his general had repeatedly emphasized: one is to protect people well; the other is to follow orders and not disobey them.

Not to mention Song Li, the pro-deputy general in his previous life must have obeyed his advice.

The two of them bowed to Chu Chu, and they both got on their horses and galloped away. They both knew that this matter was not a temporary achievement, it was not as simple as Chai Lian building a porridge shed and setting up a rice pot. Task returns.

Even if it was Jinque in the capital, the number of refugees should not be underestimated. In fact, too many refugees thought that they could get relief under the imperial city, and they all came to Jinque from all over the city. The palace is the center, and the closer to the palace, the more refugees there are.

Refugees came rushing in. They had been praying for the relief of the emperor. Now that the dynasty has changed, they are praying for the relief of the new king. There is no difference. I just don’t know if the new king is still powerless like the old king. They really have no hope.

Fortunately, the porridge shed and the cauldron were set up, as if to give porridge. It seemed that the new king had heard their prayers.

Chu Chu took off her outer clothes, rolled up her sleeves, held a large spoon, and knocked on the iron pot. The knocking sound was endless, and the commotion among the crowd stopped.

He shouted at the top of his voice: "I know that everyone hasn't eaten food or water for a long time. Today, I am here to give porridge to the people so that everyone can fill their stomachs, so that they don't eat bark and grass roots. There is not much food. I am here." I guarantee that we will continue to raise funds. If you all want to drink porridge, don’t grab it, and don’t feel that there is too little porridge. You can distribute as much as possible to those around you who have not been allocated, so that there will be more in the future, but if everyone robs each other, No compromise, this porridge is only one pot, I will have someone dismantle the porridge shed immediately after sharing, everyone think carefully and do as I say."

Chu Chu too well knows what it's like to live on the streets and be precarious. Maybe the refugees will desperately want to eat the current bite, but throwing out "long-term porridge" is definitely a condition they will not refuse. Blindly scrambling, after eating this meal, there will be no next meal. Where should they go to find the next meal?

Just like when he was a child, he went to Xiaji's gate and got two pieces of plum cakes from brother Mingsheng. Hearing him say "Come again tomorrow.", he would wait in front of his shop on time the next day without hesitation.

The crowd was bustling, and finally lined up in a vertical line under Chai Lian's command. Although everyone only had half a spoonful of porridge, at least they had finished most of the porridge. a mouthful.

Even though the porridge distribution crisis has been resolved, Chu Chu is still worried. He said: "I boasted about Haikou today. If there is no way to solve the food problem in the future, the refugees will have to riot/chaos."

Chai Lian also nodded. If the refugees were violent/chaotic, Chu Chu's loss of prestige would be secondary, and he was afraid that he would be in danger, so he was also very anxious.

Chu Chu returned to the palace and found Meisu, Lu Ruo, Lu Beihuai, and Lu Nancen to discuss with them. They all felt that this matter was difficult. The difficulty was that there was no food in the mausoleum, and even if they wanted to grow food now, there was no water.

Six people sat around a round table, each with a mournful face, deeply distressed about the porridge for the next few days.

This is the second time for Xie Lan to walk with Song Li, and at this time Song Li has a thorn in his heart. He doesn't know if Xie Lan really discovered the clue to the hunting in the mountains that day to lure the tigress. However, because of his relationship with Gu Zhai and Chu Chu, he couldn't directly kill him to silence him.

Along the way, Song Li secretly glanced at Xie Lan many times, um, many, many times, Xie Lan's face turned red when he glanced at it.

"That... Is there something on my face?" Xie Lan finally couldn't help it, and asked him curiously.

Song Li turned his head back and didn't answer him.

Xie Lan groaned in her heart, secretly thinking that she was still the same person!

"Madam told us not to delay our search for a water source. The people are all waiting for emergency water, and the seeds brought by the general have to be planted in a water source." Xie Lan said after looking at a dry spring.

"I'm familiar with the mausoleum, and I still need Xiao Song to lead me the way." Xie Lan leaned forward and went to Song Li, "You see, don't keep talking, we can be regarded as colleagues twice, after all, You and I need to talk too."

Knowing that he doesn't like to talk, Xie Lan still has nothing to say, "The day of hunting..."

When Song Li heard the first four words, his heart skipped a beat and his ears perked up.

"On the day of hunting, I lost you for some reason. It was my fault. I told you to pick it up there, but when I came back, you were nowhere to be seen. I went to look for you because of this, but I thought You are good at archery, you should not be eaten by wild animals." Xie Lan took out a dried fruit from his pocket and threw it to Song Li, "Are you thirsty or not, I brought the fruit."

"Madam was in danger in the mountains. I took you away from the two of them, and you were blamed for it. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have to go back to the mausoleum so early... Anyway, I feel very sorry. Now I have the opportunity to see you again." You, I promise, in the future, you will sell as much horse grass as you want in Shangjing, and I will cover it all, what do you think?" Xie Lan said to him.

"You don't have to be so sorry... I didn't plan to stay in Shangjing for a long time." Song Li looked at the fruit in his hand, and finally replied, he thought, since Xie Lan would feel sorry for him, it should be because he didn't have suspicions about him. Suspicion, and no evidence, why should he be afraid!

He stretched out his hands to climb to the top of the rock, wanting to see if there were undried springs or weak water streams on the top of the rock. The rock had cracked and mottled marks due to the dry weather, and it probably had no water, but he did not give up and still Putting his ears on it, listening carefully, discarding all distracting thoughts, he caught the faint sound of "tick, tick".

Xie Lan also climbed up, followed his example and listened, but didn't hear anything, her eyes were empty and dazed, and she just asked him blankly, "What... are you doing?"

Song Li was dissatisfied that someone was obstructing his hearing and identifying his position. He just made a gesture of whispering with his index finger around his mouth, but was surprised to find Xie Lan who was clinging to his side. I can't bear the weight of you and me..."

Xie Lan also retorted: What can't bear it, can't I come up?what are you saying?

The crackling sound became more and more obvious, which meant that the inner rock was about to crack. Song Li's eyelids twitched, and his other hand had already wrapped around Xie Lan's waist, pulling Xie Lan to find a point of strength and start moving down quickly.

"Fool, hurry up, or you will fall if you don't run!"

Every point of strength they passed collapsed the instant they moved. Xie Lan couldn't find a good position for the next strength point without going through this situation, and moved around on the rock wall with Song Li's pull.

The last point of strength was still ten meters away from the ground. Song Li clung to the point of strength with one hand, and grabbed Xie Lan tightly with the other. He couldn't breathe well. He said to Xie Lan, "You are too heavy. You should eat less in the future, or If you see this kind of rock wall again, don't go up easily..."

Before he finished speaking, a corner of the rock wall in Song Li's hand shattered, and the two of them fell straight down!

The author has something to say: [1] From the third volume of "Notes of Laoxue'an" by Lu You in Song Dynasty: "Yan Jingchu Shangshu, invited a monk to be hospitalized, and the monk's resignation was impoverished. Jingchu said: 'Great talents are solid and easy to hear.' The monk said: "Can a clever woman make noodle soup and cakes?""

[2] Here is a reference to some bigwigs on the Internet about the amount of disaster relief, please do not take it seriously.

[3] From Liu Yuxi's "Humble Room Inscription": "If the mountain is not high, there will be a name if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be a spirit if there is a dragon."
