Chapter 908 Another Natural Disaster

When Yun Qing entered the camp, he saw Qi Hao lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Sitting by the bed, Yun Qing touched Qi Hao's still red face, and said with a smile: "After such a long time on the grassland, it hasn't turned black at all, and I don't know who it looks like." Yu Xi's skin is white, tender and delicate , but as long as he is exposed to the sun, he will still turn black. As for him, he has never been white at all. So Brother Hao's untanned skin really doesn't know who it looks like.

Before, he was worried about his son's delicate and fair skin, but this time he brought Brother Hao out, and no one mentioned it, so he was relieved. As long as the son is capable, it doesn't really matter whether his skin is white or black.

Yi Kun walked in, stood beside Yun Qing and said softly, "My lord, my concubine has a letter."

Brother Hao happened to turn over at this moment, with his back to Yunqing. Yun Qing smiled and covered him with the blanket, and walked out.

After reading Yuxi's letter, Yunqing's expression was a little dignified.

Yi Kun was a little strange, and asked, "My lord, what happened to the city of Hao?" If it wasn't for the accident in the city of Hao, Yun Qing wouldn't have such a face.

Yunqing shook his head and said, "No. Many places in Shanxi and Henan have suffered from drought, and the harvest has been greatly reduced." In addition, the area near Hebei and Shanxi has also suffered from drought, and now tens of thousands of refugees are flocking to Shanxi. . Yuxi has already ordered Liu Yongnan to guard the city gate and not allow refugees to enter. It's not that Yuxi is cruel, but that they are temporarily unable to accommodate so many refugees.

Only then did Yi Kun understand why Yunqing's face was so ugly. Once there is a natural disaster, not only will there be no harvest, but the government will have to provide disaster relief, which will cost a lot. They have just fought another big battle, and I am afraid that there is no money in the official treasury.

After thinking for a while, Yi Kun asked, "My lord, what about Jiangnan? The harvest in Jiangnan should not be bad, right?" If the harvest in Jiangnan is good, there will be food relief.

Yun Qing said: "There has been too much rain in the south of the Yangtze River this year, and the production has also been reduced. The harvest is more than 20% lower than last year." Fortunately, there was no flood like nine years ago, and there was no harvest. If so, then they don't know where to go to raise food.

Yi Kun said: "This is really a house leak and it rains overnight." Several provinces were hit by disasters, but Jiangnan, which produces grain and land, has reduced production, which is not bad luck.

Yun Qing didn't think so: "It's lucky, after all, the war in Beiyao is over." If the war hasn't started yet, I'm afraid there will be another war and it will be postponed.

Yi Kun thinks about it and thinks so.

Zaozao lay on the bed, muttering: "I don't know when dad will come back." Because the injury was relatively deep, even though the wound was scarred, Zaozao had to sleep on her stomach instead of daring to lie down just in case.

In fact, Zao Zao can walk around now, but it's too hot outside, and she sweats when she walks around. You can't take a cold shower too much, as it's easy to catch a cold if you take too much. Before, it was because of not paying attention that he contracted a cold and suffered a serious crime of vomiting and diarrhea. After suffering so much, Zao Zao didn't dare to let his temper go.

Qiu He supported Zaozao and said: "I think the prince is already on his way back. Princess, when the prince comes back, you can go back to Pickaxe City together." It is much hotter here than Pickaxe City. Time has suffered greatly. In the past two months, I have lost a lot of weight. When the prince meets the princess, he will definitely feel distressed.

Zao Zao wanted to go home, and said depressingly: "I will definitely be laughed at by Brother Rui and the others when I go back this time." Such a good opportunity, but it's a pity that he didn't do anything because of the injury, it's too embarrassing.

Qiu He said helplessly: "What did the princess say? The princess is safe, and the second young master and the others are too happy. How could they laugh at you?"

Well, Zao Zao admitted that she couldn't pass the test in her heart: "When I came out, I told my mother that I must make a great contribution to go back this time, but in the end..."

Qiu He felt that it was totally unreasonable for Zao Zao to be entangled in these things: "Could it be that in the eyes of the princess,

The princess doesn't care about your safety and health, she only cares about whether you have made meritorious deeds? "

Zaozao shook her head and said: "That's not true, I'm just afraid that mother will be disappointed." Her mother paved the way for her, but she didn't live up to it.

Qiu He didn't entangle this topic with Zao Zao, but changed the subject: "Princess, do you think that if the second young master of the Wu family knows that you are injured, will you be very anxious?"

Regarding this, Zao Zao is still very confident: "He must be very anxious. But maybe he doesn't know the news of my injury at all!" Her mother may not tell Wu Jinyu about it.

Qiu He said: "Even if the princess doesn't tell him, can't he inquire about it? If he doesn't inquire, he can only say that he doesn't miss the princess and doesn't care about the princess anymore."

Zao Zao said: "I can feel that he likes me too!" So Wu Jinyu must know about her injury.

Qiu He has been with Zao Zao for many years, and her skin is thicker than ordinary girls. There's no way, if you don't have a thick skin, you won't be able to handle it at all! Qiu He said: "Princess, just talk about it in front of me, but you can't say this in front of outsiders. If outsiders hear it, they will think that the princess is not self-respecting! At that time, it will be the prince and the princess who will be lost." face!"

Zao Zao remembered what Yu Xi had said to her, and said, "What do you think of me as two hundred and five? Tell outsiders everything." Qiu He is her confidant maid, so she didn't take it into consideration.

Xia Zhi opened the curtain and walked into the house, saying: "Princess, Yin guards are asking to see you." Yin Zhaofeng would not enter the house if he had nothing to do.

Yin Zhaofeng brought good news to Zaozao: "Princess, just got the news that the prince has set off three days ago and is on his way back to Yucheng, and he should arrive in about half a month."

Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, and finally looking forward to it. If she didn't come back, she couldn't help but go back by herself.

Zao Zao asked: "I asked you to inquire about it before, how did it go?" Not long ago, I heard rumors that her father was injured. Zaozao was worried, so he asked Yin Zhaofeng to inquire to see if the news was true.

Yin Zhaofeng shook his head and said: "I haven't heard any news about this. Princess, this should be just a rumor. If the prince is really injured, this battle can't be so smooth." In order to stabilize the morale of the army, even if the prince is injured, he must hide it. It's time to die.

Seeing Zaozao frowned, Yin Zhaofeng said: "Princess, since there is news from the front that the prince is already on his way back, then the prince must be fine. He is really injured, but he can't stand the bumps."

Zao Zao was still worried, and said: "I hope it's all right." Although her mother is powerful, but the real pillar of the family is his father, if there is something wrong with her father, her mother may be the first to fail. The last time her father was unconscious, his mother almost couldn't hold on.

Yuxi is also very busy at this time. To collect food and grass from the south of the Yangtze River to provide disaster relief in Shanxi, Henan and other places, and to deal with post-war affairs, there are still a lot of government affairs to take care of. At this time, Yuxi really wished that there would be twenty-four hours in a day.

This evening for dinner, Yuxi did not appear at the table. Brother You asked Aunt Quan worriedly: "Mother, what has mother been up to lately? Why don't you even have time to go back to the backyard for dinner?" With a big victory ahead, her mother should be very relaxed recently.

Sister Quan said: "The following provinces have been hit by disasters. The princess has been busy with disaster relief recently, so she doesn't have time to come back for dinner."

Brother Yu asked: "Does that mother have food?" You can't skip meals because you are busy with official duties!

Sister Quan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the fourth young master, I have asked Ban Xia to deliver the food." After a pause, Sister Quan said: "The princess will not be idle for a while, second young master, you should be obedient and obedient. Don't let the princess worry about it anymore."

Brother Rui was the first to express his opinion: "Don't worry, Mammy, we will obediently listen to the words of the master and the master, and will not let the mother worry."

Sister Quan praised: "They are all good children."

Yuxi was busy again until midnight this day, dragging her tired body back to the backyard, sitting on a chair, she didn't want to get up.

Sister Quan said: "The water has been prepared, let's take a bath!" Taking a bath can relieve fatigue, and Yuxi will be able to sleep well after a while.

While taking a bath, Yuxi couldn't help sighing.

Sister Quan asked: "It's fine, what are you sighing for?" No matter how hard it was, Yuxi never sighed.

Yuxi said: "Natural disasters and disasters, the people who suffer are the common people." **, referring to wars.

Mother Quan said: "When the prince has settled down the world, the common people will not have to suffer from the war anymore." As for natural disasters, they cannot be changed by manpower, and there is nothing to say.

Yuxi said: "Liu Yongnan said in the booklet that he has gathered tens of thousands of refugees. But we can't take care of ourselves, how can we let them in." If there are only tens of thousands of refugees, they can be resettled. But the problem is that once this opening is opened, other refugees will flock in. How could she accommodate hundreds of thousands or even millions of refugees. Furthermore, under their rule, there are still nearly one million disaster victims in need of assistance.

Sister Quan said: "It's enough to settle the victims under our control. The victims over there are Yan Wushuang's business."

Yuxi smiled wryly and said: "I just want to help them, but there is nothing I can do now." If Yunqing hadn't sent troops to the north to take captives or Shanxi and other provinces hadn't suffered disasters, she still had the energy to resettle some victims. But everything came together, and even if she had the heart, she didn't have the ability to help.

Sister Quan persuaded: "Don't think too much, they are not the people under our rule. If you want to worry about it, Yan Wushuang has to worry about it."

Yuxi still doesn't know this truth: "Just thinking of these victims who were displaced and had no food to eat, I can't express the sadness in my heart." She has experienced all these, so her feelings are very deep.

Having been by Yuxi's side for so many years, how could Madam Quan not know that Yuxi is not a person full of sympathy. But for these refugees, Yuxi seemed to be very sympathetic.

Sister Quan said: "That can't be helped. If you want to blame, blame God for not letting people live."

Yuxi smiled wryly and said: "In fact, even if there is no disaster, many people in Hebei, Shandong and other places will not have enough food and clothing." Yan Wushuang can be regarded as a capable emperor, but he has to support millions of troops. A huge expense. Where does the money come from? Naturally, it came from the people.

In fact, Yuxi was able to reduce taxes and exempt various tax items with complicated names, because of their good fortune as a husband and wife. Over the years, they not only found gold and silver mines, but also got several huge sums of money. Otherwise, such frequent wars will definitely bring a heavy burden to the common people. Of course, not without a little trouble. So many people died in the war, and those who died were young and middle-aged, which is very detrimental to future development.

Sister Quan said with a smile: "When the prince settles the world, the princess will let them have enough food and clothing to live a life of peace and contentment." She felt that Yu Xi would definitely be able to do it.

Yuxi hummed and said: "At that time, this will be my job." In her position to seek government affairs, since she is sitting in this position, she naturally wants to let the people live a good life.

Sister Quan looked at the tired Yuxi and said, "Princess, you should also take care of your body and don't get tired."

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's okay, I can't be bothered by this matter. Besides, it will be fine when the prince comes back." Yunqing is here and can solve the problem with her.

Speaking of Yunqing, Quan Nuo said with a smile: "My lord has destroyed Beiyao this time, which has stabilized people's hearts even more." Yunqing's reputation has reached a new height because of the destruction of Beiyao. And under Yuxi's operation, the name of Yunqing God of War has spread throughout the world.

Yu Xi didn't show a smile, but instead said: "The matter of the Northern captivity is settled, and now there is still the capital." Attacking the capital is not easier than beating the North captivity.

"The capital? I thought I left the capital thirteen years ago and would never go back." Who would have thought that she would have the day to go back!

Yuxi laughed when she heard this: "Mama, you make it sound like the capital city has already been captured by us?"

Sister Quan said with a smile: "My lord has wiped out even the fierce Beiyao people, so Yan Wushuang is naturally no problem."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "You can't be proud and complacent just because you have won a few great victories. Zhou Zhan, who guards Hebei, and Lou Qingyun, who guards Shandong, are both generals who have made great achievements in Liaodong. In the capital, there are also many There are few famous and powerful generals. If you want to capture the capital, you must have a fierce battle."

Sister Quan didn't know much about government affairs, and she was even a layman when it came to military affairs. Hearing this, Sister Quan asked in surprise, "Is the princess not confident?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "It's not that I don't have confidence. But Yan Wushuang is more difficult to deal with than the Beiyao people. If you want to win the capital, you must pay a high price." With Yan Wushuang's mind and ability, if she hadn't taken the lead Opportunities, they may not be the ones who have the upper hand now.

Sister Quan knew what Yu Xi meant, that many people would definitely die in this battle. Sister Quan said: "No matter what you do, you will have to pay the price. When you calm down the world, the common people will no longer have to suffer from war and violence. From a general perspective, this is a good thing." Whenever there is a change of dynasty, it is not blood with tears. Relatively speaking, Yunqing and Yuxi went smoothly.

Yuxi said: "There is a disaster this year, and it is not appropriate to go to war within three years." The government's treasury is clean, and her private treasury will also be emptied. Without money, this battle cannot be fought.

Sister Quan's thoughts were different from Yu Xi's: "Our side suffered a disaster, and Yan Wushuang's side was not much better. They were even more difficult than our side."

Yuxi hummed and said: "Let's not talk about Hebei and Shandong, I'm afraid the capital will not be peaceful." If they can't survive, the only way is to rebel. (to be continued)
