Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 343 I’m not a hottie

Song Yuan was helpless: "Why do you always worry about these things about your mother-in-law and mother?"

Wei Yan choked: "Subordinate."

"Don't worry about these things all the time in the future." Song Yuan flipped the book in his hand: "I have no intention of romantic love between men and women. I treat Miss Mu and this Miss Yan the same way. They only treat each other as friends who can be together. Don't mess around in private." It’s not good to say something that ruins a girl’s reputation. What if an outsider hears it and asks a good girl to do something?”

Wei Yan muttered in a low voice: "Your Highness, what you said is true. It's not a shame to have anything to do with you."

Song Yuan put down the book and looked at him seriously: "I'm not a hottie, why should this girl be proud of having a relationship with me? Besides, people's words are terrible, and you don't know how those long-tongued women arrange people. It's so abominable that you can make up anything that doesn't exist. If they heard rumors from your mouth, wouldn't they be able to make it up?
At that time, the girl's reputation will be ruined, and people will speculate about the reason why I came to the northwest. If someone reads my book and says that I am getting involved with women just because I have some merits, then I will be unable to defend myself. ?You think it's just joking, but you don't know if others will think there is something to be done after listening to it. "

"Yes, my subordinates know it. If they don't dare to say anything anymore, they will tell them." Wei Yan knew that she was serious and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Song Yuan then calmed down and rolled up his sleeves to wash up: "You went to provide disaster relief today. How is the situation? How are the arrangements going?"

"My subordinates are just about to talk to His Highness about this matter. There are not too many people around the town. Most of them are grazing. Of course, there are also a few farmlands. Although there are many people affected by the disaster this time, due to the living environment, the people There was not much problem with the house we lived in. Most of the sheep pens that were crushed by the heavy snow were sheep pens. A few sheep were lost and they did not dare to look for them. They only found a new place to place the sheep. After careful inquiry, the subordinates of the yamen said All the farming families were given five kilograms of cotton, but the herding people were not. But as soon as most of the cotton was delivered, businessmen came to buy it. According to the quality of the cotton, one kilogram of cotton, six kilograms of grain, to nine kilograms of grain were not enough. Wait for it to be taken away.”

Song Yuan was relieved that there were no big problems in the houses where the people lived. As for the other things, she didn't care much. It was within her expectation that the people would use the cotton distributed to them in exchange for food. Again, as long as the cotton was Only by giving it to the poorest people can everyone know how good cotton is from the bottom up, so that more people will be willing to plant cotton in the coming year.

She wiped her face and continued to ask: "How are the surrounding water conservancy facilities?"

"According to the requirements of the yamen, every household has dug a cellar well, and several large cellars have been dug in places where people gather. After settling the people's sheep today, arrangements have been made to collect them in the cellar wells tomorrow. There is a lot of snow, and there are rivers and ditches connecting the fields. Because it can meet the needs of farming, no big cellar was dug."

"That's good." Song Yuan soaked his feet comfortably: "It's been several days. Now that the wind and snow have stopped for a day, the Yamen should take action. I don't know who will be sent to deal with the wolves outside. , after delaying for so many days, I don’t know if the wolves outside have dispersed. If so, we have to hurry up and set off.”

"It should be soon. With such heavy casualties, I'm afraid the military will intervene. This is where the Fifth Master is stationed. The Fifth Master will not just sit idly by." Wei Yan was very optimistic about Song Fu's ability to act.

As he expected, the next day, when the sky was still gray and bright, an army arrived outside the city. As soon as the city gate opened in the early morning, seven or eight soldiers entered the city on horseback. The sound of horse hooves shook the snow on the eaves of the tiles, and the soldiers rushed to the city. Many people woke up from their lucid dreams.

"The army has sent people to hunt wolves." Someone cheered and shouted on the street, which immediately attracted many people.

Song Yuan didn't want to go downstairs, so he opened the window and took a look. After a while, officials and government servants accompanied the soldiers who entered the city. Some people who took their own wolf hunting tools wanted to help and join in the fun, but they were stopped. If we hunt wolves, we don’t need these common people to cause trouble.Many people returned in anger, but most of the people were hoping that the army could clear away the trouble. Without the wolves, they could graze around boldly, go farther, and expand their flocks.

When I went downstairs to have breakfast, there were many people in the inn. Everyone was talking about the army sending people to hunt wolves. Song Yuan also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

When 2000 people came, they would search the town for hundreds of miles. Considering that wolves are determined to avenge themselves, the superiors ordered not to hunt them, but to drive them away. They also repeatedly stated that they were not allowed to take out wolf dens and harm their cubs. To prevent the wolves from retaliating against the people after the army left.

Song Yuan felt that this explanation was very appropriate. After all, the huge casualties in the past few days served as a warning to others.

But there are always people who have objections, "It's just a bunch of beasts, why should we be merciful? As long as we kill them all, why are we afraid of their revenge?"

"It's just that if 2000 people rushed over, they could trample those beasts to death. I don't know what to do with so many worries."

The two young men who spoke were at an age where they were in the prime of life. They just wanted to put aside their grudges without thinking about the consequences. The huge casualties in the past few days did not make them think about the reasons.

"Oh, young man." An elderly man sighed: "Wolves hold grudges. The wolf that was captured alive a few days ago was tortured to such an extent that it still bowed its head and surrendered. This shows how ferocious its nature is. Eradicating the roots is simple. There were several packs of wolves outside. There were hundreds of them, big and small. They accidentally killed other wolves. Didn't they want to bring trouble to the town? If they hadn't dug out the wolf den earlier, they wouldn't have done it. There are so many things to come.”

The young man wanted to refute, but it was true that the wolves had taken revenge by digging out the den, so he stood up and sat back down.

"The army arranged this arrangement for the sake of the people. If we drive them over a hundred miles, they can't go that far while grazing, so it won't be a problem."

The old man's words were echoed by many older people. They are not so violent, have more respect for wolves, and believe in karma. Most young people are disdainful.

After the meal, everyone agreed not to leave. They all stayed in the store to hear the latest news. The shopkeeper specially burned several charcoal pots in the store for people to keep warm, and the group chatted away. After listening to it for a while, Song Yuan felt it was boring and asked for a bowl of goat's milk as usual and brought it upstairs.

The past few days of being trapped were so leisurely that Song Yuan began to worry that she would become tired if she was trapped for a few more days. She wanted to read a book, but she just couldn't get the words to enter her mind and couldn't read. Page put the book away and teased the little wolf cub.

"Playing with things makes you lose your spirit." Song Yuan laughed at himself, tapping the tip of the little wolf cub's nose.
