Chapter 913

The drought is the most serious in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi four provinces. Hubei, Gansu and Shudi are all affected, but not as serious as the first four provinces.

Yuxi is working hard for the disaster, but Yan's life is just as hard. Dozens of memorials were sent to the capital in Shanxi, Shandong and other places a day to ask the court for relief.

Yan Wushuang, after reading a letter from Shanxi, threw it back to the desk and said to the Minister of Yigan, "the common people in Shanxi, Henan and other places are almost eaten up, some of them are already eating guanyintu."

"This year's harvest in Jiangnan is good. We should go to Jiangnan as soon as possible to buy food and transport it to the disaster area," said Lu Er This is also a reasonable opinion.

Jiang Wenrui, the Minister of the Ministry of accounts, said with a stiff head, "there are only 980000 liang of silver left in the Treasury." Even if all this silver is taken out, it will not help.

Among the six ministers, the hardest work now is the Ministry of household ministers. Jiang Wenrui has been sitting in this position for more than two years, and he is also determined.

As soon as this was said, all the others were silent. Relief means that we have to spend money. We have no money to take any relief.

"The Northwest has been warned ahead of time that there may be a drought this year, so they have stored a lot of food," Yan said. I am going to send an imperial envoy to the northwest to borrow food. Who of you is willing to go? "

When they heard this, they all shrunk their heads. They got the news early and knew that the grain granaries in the northwest could not be put down. But no matter how much food there is in the northwest, it will not be lent to them.

After a while, Lord Lu raised his head and said, "Lord, the drought in the northwest is also very serious. The court may not borrow food from them." Anyway, he will not be sent to be the imperial envoy, so Lord Lu is not worried.

"How can I know if I don't try?" Yan Wushuang said? Tell me about it. Who would be more suitable to send? "

The Minister of rites came out and said, "Lord, I think it's more appropriate for the Korean public to borrow food. Although it is said that Han's relationship with South Korea has been severed, the South Korean public is the natural daughter of the South Korean public. "

Everyone thought that the Minister of rites was out of his mind. No one can be sent to Han Jingyan. Princess Pingxi and Han Jingyan are enemies, not father and daughter.

Yan matchless cold face said: "who has better candidate?" How dare Han Jingyan, a man who has more than enough success and failure, use it.

Official minister Geng looked at Jiang Wenrui and said, "Jiang is the uncle of the king of Pingxi, and his eldest son has made great contributions in the northwest. I think Lord Jiang will go to borrow food, and King Pingxi should give this face. " The official ministry minister and Jiang Wenrui did not deal with each other. They fought openly and secretly for many years. If we can get rid of Jiang Wenrui this time, it will be better.

Jiang Wenrui hated to stab the Minister of the Ministry of officials, but his face remained the same, saying: "prince, since the death of the cloud family, I have been estranged from the cloud family. Pingxi Wang thought that I killed Yun Shi. Every time he saw me, he was angry. If I were sent to the northwest, I would not only fail to borrow food, but also offend the king of Pingxi. " In order not to go to the northwest, Jiang Wenrui has also worked hard to cover up the domestic clowns who are too late in normal times. This meeting will all take the initiative to expose them.

Yan Wushuang said: "this time you are going to the northwest to borrow food on behalf of the court, not involving personal grudges. Yunqing is honest and will not embarrass you because of the past. "

Jiang Wenrui cried bitterly. He didn't worry that Yunqing would kill him. After all, his eldest son is in the northwest. If you don't look at the Buddha's face, if you look at the elder brother's face, Yunqing won't kill him. But others may not. It's a long way from the capital to the northwest, and the road is not peaceful, so it's likely that we won't be able to go back.

Lord Taining stood up and said, "Lord, I don't think it's proper to send Imperial Envoys to the northwest to borrow food, which will make king Pingxi and Princess Pingxi feel that the imperial court is threatening. In this way, it goes against our original intention. "

Yan Wushuang asked, "according to the meaning of Lord Taining, how can we deal with this properly?"

The meaning of Lord Taining is naturally to borrow grain from Yunqing in the name of the court. If Yunqing agrees, then send someone to transport the food. If Yunqing doesn't agree, there's nothing to say.

Lord Lu also agreed with Lord Taining: "even if King Pingxi did not agree to borrow food, it would not damage the face of the court." People with normal brains all know that it is impossible for the northwest to lend grain to the imperial court. Of course, Lord Lu doesn't think Yan's matchless decision is wrong. Because he knew that borrowing food was Yan's only excuse. He must have another plan.

Yan Wushuang thought about it and said, "that's what we'll do for the time being." Yan Wushuang deliberately proposed to borrow food from the northwest, in fact, he wanted to transfer part of the pressure.

Back at the palace, Meng Nian said a bad thing to Yan Wushuang: "Wang Ye, just got a message that someone secretly dug the potato in the ground and ate it, and died. The doctor diagnosed that the man had eaten the poisonous potato before he died. " Liaodong has not been affected by the drought, as in previous years. But the people had a hard time, and many of them did not have enough to eat. When he heard that potato could be eaten, he dug it up and ate it.

Yan Wushuang said without thinking: "it's impossible. If the potato is poisonous, the people in the northwest have eaten it, how can they not see one poisoned to death? "

Meng Nian also just got the news, and the specific situation is not clear: "my Lord, this is absolutely true, and there will be no mistake. Lord, I'm afraid that this potato is not suitable for cultivation in Liaodong? " Otherwise, why did the people in the northwest eat and die? Why did the people in Liaodong eat and die!

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "it's impossible. I haven't heard of anything that has changed into a poison in another place. There must be some reasons we don't know."

After thinking about it, Yan Wushuang asks Meng Nian to ask the doctor, "maybe they know why."

After learning the details, Zhang Yuyi pondered and said to Meng Nian, "this potato is not ripe. Maybe it's poisonous. When it's mature, it won't be poisonous. But these are just my guesses. Whether this reason is to be determined after the potato matures. "

Meng Nian was a little strange and said, "immature potato is poisonous?" It was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

"There are some plants like this," said Zhang Zhang Yuyi now only treats potato as a kind of medicine, not grain.

Yan Wushuang heard Meng Nian's report and said, "I'm afraid that's why." There's no reason why those planted in the Northwest can be eaten, and those planted in Liaodong are poisonous.

Meng Nian asked about borrowing food: "Lord, why do you want to borrow food from the northwest?" He didn't know the impossible. How could the Lord not know it!

"If we let these victims know that there is a lot of food in the northwest, our pressure will be less," Yan said All the victims in Shandong, Shanxi and other places rushed to the capital.

Finish saying, Yan matchless face delimits a to sneer, say: "by the way also expose Han Yuxi false good mask."

When Meng Nian heard this, he said nothing. It doesn't matter whether Han Yuxi is fake or not. What's important is that this move can really help them transfer a lot of pressure.

In the name of the emperor, the letter to borrow grain from the northwest did not reach Yuxi and Yunqing. This letter first came to General Liu Yongnan. After reading the letter, Liu Yong directly scolded: "son of a bitch, borrow food? Did the emperor's children and Yan Wushuang have water in their heads Now the northwest is suffering from a severe drought. Even if the imperial court does not relieve the disaster, it still wants their food in the northwest, which is very beautiful!

The subordinate said, "general, what should those people do?" Knowing the contents of the letter, no one is not angry. These dog officials, there is not a good thing.

Liu Yongnan said, "kill it." All the soldiers from Yucheng are disgusted with the imperial officials. Because they have suffered too much loss and too much anger in these people.

After that, Liu Yongnan burned the emperor's letter directly. Then he wrote it in the fold, and half an hour later he sent it to pick city.

When Yuxi saw Liu Yongnan's fold, he sneered, handed it to Yunqing, and said, "I know we won't borrow food, but I sent a letter from the emperor in person. He is willing to help us!" Liu Yongnan dared to burn the emperor's letter, knowing that Yunqing and Yuxi would not borrow grain.

Yunqing is also fed up with Yan matchless now. Their husband and wife have stored a large amount of grain, but the northwest is also a disaster area. These grains are essential to stabilize the northwest. The court wants their food. Next life! "Don't pay any attention to this madman," said Yunqing

But Yuxi said with some worry: "we can ignore Yan matchless. But the people in Shanxi and Henan who have been affected by the disaster will surely come to the northwest. "

"They can't get into the northwest," said Yunqing All the border cities have been closed. It is more difficult to enter the northwest through the checkpoint than to climb to the sky.

Yu Xi said in a hoarse voice, "Yang Duoming's letter says that there has been a phenomenon of cannibalism in Henan Province. Although it's only a few now, I'm worried about going on, and then it will become the norm. "

"I won't let such a tragedy happen in the northwest," said Yun Qing, motionless They did a lot of preparatory work, and many people died in Linzhou and Yanzhou. The people in the Northwest can't be saved completely, especially the victims in Henan, Shanxi and other places.

Thinking of the coming flood, Yuxi whispered, "God really doesn't give people a living!" Yuxi thought last life was a real life. She didn't know about such a big drought, but only knew there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. If she knew there would be such a big drought, she would be more prepared.

In fact, it can't all blame Yuxi, mainly because of the special situation at that time. Those who fled were all from other provinces, speaking dialects. Even the flood in the south of the Yangtze River was heard by a little boy who can speak Mandarin.

Yunqing patted Yuxi on the shoulder and said, "no, we will get through this difficulty."

Yuxi said with a voice, "yes, we can certainly get through this difficulty." She can't control the people in Jiangnan, Henan and other places, but she will try her best to minimize the casualties in the northwest.
