Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 2167 The Village Was Buried
Daddy is bad, he is not Mi'er's real father, Mi'er don't want to talk to him anymore.

Xiao Mi'er snorted again, and agreed to sever the relationship between father and daughter, but when a crystal clear lychee was fed to her mouth, Xiao Mi'er took a bite without hesitation, narrowing her eyes so sweetly , with a look of enjoyment.

Forget it, we are children, how can we compare ourselves with adults.

Rong Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was really worried that one day, some little bastard would trick Xiao Mi'er away with a bunch of delicious food.

At this moment, Lingyue walked in drenched all over: "Princess, it has been raining for days, landslides have caused several villages to be buried, and many people have been killed or injured. Now the people outside the city are panic-stricken, and they have all poured into Yongzhou City."

The smile on Rong Jiu's face faded, and he said seriously, "Where are those people living now?"

"The injured people were temporarily housed in Jiminfang, but there were too many victims, so we temporarily set up thatched sheds."

Jiminfang is a philanthropic hall donated by merchants from aristocratic families to house homeless orphans. The place is not very big, and it is true that it cannot house too many disaster victims.

Lingyue frowned suddenly: "However, there are too many people, and the grain in the granary may not last long."

Rong Jiu's expression sank: "How is it possible, Yongzhou City is also considered a rich place, how can there be no food for disaster relief?"

"In recent years, the weather in Yongzhou City has been good. The former governor sold the rice in the granary to the rice merchants in order to fill his own pockets. In order to deceive the world, he planned to buy back the old rice to make up for it. Who knew that before it was too late, he was found out by Prince Yong. Therefore, there is not much rice grain in the granary now."

Rong Jiu's expression turned ugly when he heard the noise of the rain outside the house.

The hearts of the people are unstable, and if there is no food to relieve the disaster, the consequences will be disastrous.

Rong Jiu pondered and said: "Go to the government office and tell He Zheng that if someone takes the opportunity to hoard grain and drive up the price of rice, he will be punished as treason."

"Yes."

Ling Yue turned around to go out, Rong Jiu called her: "Change clothes before going, don't catch a cold."

Lingyue smiled: "It's okay."

After that, he turned around and went out.

Xiao Mi'er knew that her parents had something important to discuss, so she came out of Rong Jiu's arms and sat quietly by the desk, peeling lychees.

Rong Jiu looked at Xiao Mi'er who was eating lychee bite by bite, and then thought of the homeless and underfed victims outside, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

Turning to Shen Cheng, he said, "Master, let's borrow some manpower from Prince Yong to set up some porridge sheds and medicine sheds."

The continuous heavy rains made those victims homeless and easily infected with diseases. If they are not treated in time, they are prone to outbreaks of epidemics.

"Okay, listen to Ah Jiu."

Rong Jiu was dedicated to serving the people, Shen Cheng naturally agreed and ordered people to prepare a carriage.

Before going to Prince Yong's Mansion, Shen Cheng stroked Xiao Mi'er's little head, and said with a smile, "Be with Mother well."

Xiao Mi'er nodded her head "Mmmmm", Shen Cheng rubbed her little head again, then got up and left.

Xiao Mi'er got her father's order and brought the peeled lychee to Rong Jiu's mouth.

Mother, eat.

Rong Jiu smiled softly: "Mother, don't eat, let me eat."

Xiao Mi'er stuffed it directly into Rong Jiu's mouth.

Mother is obedient, and Mi'er likes obedient mother.

Rong Jiu scratched the tip of her little nose, and Xiao Mi'er giggled.

Looking at Xiao Mi'er's smiling face, Rong Jiu felt that the gray sky under the heavy rain was brighter.

He Zheng felt that he, the governor, was really exhausted. Seeing batches of disaster victims pouring into Yongzhou City, he almost cried.
