Shuangjiao

In summer and summer, rain comes when it comes.

The scorching sun was still in the sky just now, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered with lead gray rain clouds, only half of the red sky remained at the end of the distant mountains.

Wen Xueqing raised her head and looked up. Today she and her elder brother came out to inspect Xiashou, and brought soldiers and horses over to grab the harvest in full swing.

Seeing such a large cloud, the common people and soldiers participating in the harvest all looked very unhappy.

"It is going to rain!"

"Hurry up, move faster!"

If it is wet by rain, it will fall down, and it may even germinate. All the previous hard work and sweat will be in vain.

Wen Xueqing stood by the edge of the field holding a notebook, taking notes as she walked.

The maid followed her with a big umbrella, her cheeks were flushed from the sun, and seeing that it was going to rain, she was relieved and worried at the same time.

——You can rest when it rains, but you can't finish harvesting the grain, but it affects the whole year.

The hot and dry air is full of fishy smell, and heat rises from the ground.

Wen Xueqing narrowed her eyes and looked at the field with only bare straw left, wanting to continue walking down.

"Little lady!" The maid pulled Wen Xueqing's sleeve nervously, "Don't go down, be careful of heatstroke."

"Let's go back first, and drink some water." The maid stomped her feet uncomfortably.

The peasants and soldiers in the fields shouted and drank, rushing to put the harvested millet into the warehouse before it rained.

"Zhenzhen!" Wen Jiming's voice came from a distance, "Come back quickly, don't stand there!"

Wen Xueqing looked back, but couldn't find where he was.Presumably they mixed in with the soldiers to participate in the harvest.

Sure enough, one of the soldiers quickly ran out, looked around the field, and soon found Wen Xueqing, and ran over quickly.

"Chang Changshi."

Wen Xueqing saluted.

Chang Tianyuan wiped the rain-like sweat from his head, panting: "Little lady, my lord wants you to go back quickly to avoid the rain."

For the sake of convenience, all the soldiers changed into working short brown. All the exposed body parts were tanned into a wheat-brown color, and some of them peeled off due to unbearable tanning. In addition, their hands were blistered and calloused. This day's bending over and bowing down was even more difficult than usual practice.

"I know." Wen Xueqing nodded, without persuading them to rest, she lowered her head and jotted down a few notes in the notebook, and went back to the resting shed with the maid.

In the shed, it is cost-effective for the county magistrate to take the officials to register.

There was a thunder outside, and bright white lightning pierced the sky. The county magistrate was startled, and found that the surroundings were getting dark, which made people light candles.

"How much?" Wen Xueqing asked as soon as she came in, "How many acres of land are left unharvested?"

The county magistrate received the booklet and reported it in detail.

Although this Mrs. Wen has no position, she came with the gentleman. Now the gentleman is busy directing the harvest, and Wen Xueqing will complete the rest of the duties.

At first, the county magistrate didn't take it seriously, thinking that Wen Xueqing was just here to play around, and the gentleman was just looking for something to get rid of her.Unexpectedly, after a few rounds, Wen Xueqing pointed to the point again and again, and the county magistrate also took a contemptuous attitude and did not dare to perfunctory.

"There are still two or three days before the collection can be finished, but this rain..."

The county magistrate was frowning, and if it rained a little in previous years, it would not have much impact, but this year, for some reason, more and more refugees fled from the north and the south, and the food in their warehouses would soon run out.

If the refugees were prevented from entering the city without resettlement, it was not an option to watch them linger at the gate of the city as thin as sticks, and look eagerly into the city.Many people in the city were too frightened to go out of the city, and their travel and life were affected, for fear that these refugees would rush up and loot them all.

"I can only try to be as fast as possible. Many soldiers have been recruited to help harvest," Wen Xueqing said. After a while, she suddenly remembered the issue of refugees and asked, "Are these refugees arranged for work relief?"

"The young and strong have been arranged to collect food, but those women and children really can't help it. The sick and weak have all gone to the doctor, and some children need to be adopted..."

Wen Xueqing nodded. Those who can escape here are mostly young and strong. It is often difficult for the old, young and weak to persevere. If they can persevere here, their bodies are almost at their limit.

There have always been many problems in disaster relief, and every detail must be paid attention to.

The rain was getting heavier and harvesting stopped.Wen Jiming and a few close subordinates wiped with towels before coming to Wen Xueqing's shed.

"It's a good job. If there are healthy refugees, after the autumn harvest, they can be enlisted in the army if they are willing. There is still a shortage of people here."

Wen Xueqing looked at him puzzled.

Even if Wen Jiming was short of people, he would not take them in from the refugees. Firstly, his body was not strong and sensitive, and he was not able to join the army training early. Secondly, these refugees escaped all the way. They did not know what they did to survive. end.

Looking at the county magistrate's expression, he also understood that there was something wrong with this sentence.But when Wen Jiming said this, it was considered to have solved some of the problems that caused him a headache, and when someone sent it to Wen Jiming, he would not be in charge of it.

Wen Jiming didn't explain further, and when the rain stopped, he took people to the fields to harvest again.

Fortunately, it was sunny for more than half a month after that, the harvesting was completed, the fields were plowed and sowed with autumn crops, everything was in order, and there was no worrying rain.

There was no need to go for a run in the field. In the leisurely afternoon, Wen Xueqing and Wen Guanghe sat by the lotus pond, drinking tea and chatting lazily.

"According to previous years, it's about time for rain." Wen Guanghe squinted at the dazzling sunlight, feeling a little panicked for no reason. Just after planting, there was not enough rain for this year's autumn grain.

... This is just the end of Xiashou's headache.

Rubbing his temples, Wen Guanghe raised his eyes and glanced at his little daughter who was concentrating on feeding the koi.These days, she ran out with her elder brother and stood under the sun all day. Everyone else was tanned, but her skin was red, and when she returned home to rest, her skin began to peel.Some places were taken off so badly that traces of blood oozed from the flesh, which made people feel distressed.

Because of this, Princess Lekang didn't give the Wen family man a good face for several days.

Touching his nose, Wen Guanghe stretched out his hand and pushed the teacup in front to Wen Xueqing: "Zhenzhen, drink more water, this one is still hot, don't wait for it to cool down before drinking it."

Before Wen Xueqing replied, Princess Lekang, who had just brought some tea and fruits, frowned and stared at Wen Guanghe: "Apart from drinking hot water, do you guys talk about anything else?"

Wen Jiming, who followed Princess Lekang, gave his father a self-seeking look, keeping his eyes on his nose and nose and his heart on the sidelines.

"..." Wen Guanghe moved a little, and turned to his elder brother at the side: "Brother today..."

"It's still very hot today. Besides drinking plenty of water, Your Highness should also eat something that clears away heat and replenishes qi." The uncle completely ignored his younger brother and talked to Princess Lekang, "I think the mung bean porridge today is very good, sweet and delicious Ruannuo, Your Highness should eat more, and Zhenzhen, come..."

Uncle's father brought mung bean porridge in front of Wen Xueqing and Princess Lekang.

Princess Lekang smiled and thanked: "Thank you, husband, you have worked hard, and you should eat more."

A school of harmony between husband and wife.

Wen Guanghe: "..."

He opened his eyes wide and was so stimulated by his elder brother that he forgot to even blink.

"Cough cough..." Wen Jiming coughed softly to remind Wen Guanghe, "Ah Weng, why don't you drink mung bean porridge, this one is iced, it won't taste good when it's heated."

Wen Guanghe put away his shocked expression, flicked his sleeves, and raised his chin towards Wen Jiming.

"..." Wen Jiming straightened his body, quietly glanced at Princess Lekang, seeing that she was not paying attention to him, took Wen Guanghe's favorite food from the table, and pushed it in front of Wen Guanghe.

Wen Guanghe took it, and with a snack, he slowly ate the cold mung bean porridge with a satisfied face.

Sure enough, the pastries prepared for Brother Zhenzhen are just as good, they are delicious.

After Wen Guanghe finished eating, he put down the porcelain bowl with restraint, and became a handsome state shepherd again.

Princess Lekang almost failed to maintain her demeanor and rolled her eyes.She never told Xiao Lang how to teach the child, she did what he wanted, but...

Her heart aches for the child's hardships and hardships, can't she vent her anger a little?

Shaking his head, the uncle's eyes lit up with a smile, he shook his feather fan lightly and talked to Wen Guanghe: "It's not surprising that there are so many refugees fleeing from the north, but they just came from the south, why are there more and more? Didn't it mean that King Zhao received the order and led troops to suppress them?" Did it work out?"

"I also want to know why." Wen Guanghe sighed. Although Linzhou is rich, it can only support the people of Linzhou. No matter how much it is, it is too difficult.

As the state shepherd of Linzhou, he must first protect the people of Linzhou.As for the others, you can only go down the row.

"That's not the way..."

Uncle murmured.

When the wheat was ripe, the Xiongnu who were feasting on the wind and drinking the dew on the northern grasslands were ready to move, and several city battles broke out in succession.

Wei Miao wins and loses, but luckily all he lost was a small town, and when the wheat is ripe, there is still a chance to regain it.

It's just that he sent troops many times. In addition to drawing troops from Weidi, Wei Miao directly went up to ask the emperor to grant military power, and then recruit troops from the vast Central Plains.There were a lot of discussions in the ruling and opposition parties, some were radical, insinuating that Wei Miao's famous official Shidi was not a minister, and even the emperor dared not deny his decision at will.Many people are worried that just after harvesting the wheat, they will have to change their hoes for spears and leave their hometowns to go to the front line.

Even Goro expressed his worries in his letters.

The contents of the letter came earlier than the Dibao.

The canonized edict is still being drafted, and it's not that no one objected, but the emperor insisted that the five northern states will all be assigned to Marquis Wei at that time.

Xu was scared of being beaten by the Huns, and the emperor became less courageous. Hearing the invasion of the Huns, he couldn't help but change his face. He said on the spot that he wanted to seal Wei Miao.

Wei Miao's title has already reached the title of duke, and he can only be named a prince again.

——With the edict, Linzhou will become a crack.
