The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 668
Hua Xiling wanted to say something more, but Xiangru didn't allow him to say anything more, so he interrupted him directly: "I dare you to say a few more words, Huguang's grain is controlled by a big grain merchant, and the price of grain has increased by more than ten times. The catastrophe in the state coincided with the earthquake in the north, and the imperial court and the government office could not provide a single grain of rice to relieve the disaster. These dozens of boats of grain were all shipped from my wife’s natal granary. How could it be possible to empty out our own granary and transport it here to stabilize food prices and help the victims?! Could it be that this is just trying to gain fame, and I hope that everyone in the world can do so!"

Hua Xiling did not expect this to be the case at all. He watched the officers and soldiers on the ship support Yao Yanen, and thought that these dozens of ships were loaded with official rations mobilized by the imperial court.

The more Xiangru said, the more angry she became: "My boss has served as the governor of Liangjiang for ten years, and he has never been greedy for a grain of rice or a tael of silver. Even the emperor has nothing to say about this. What qualifications do you have to criticize my wife?! My wife thank you I helped today, so I gave you my food, and you not only don't appreciate it, but also say these vicious words, you don't know right from wrong, black from right, I think it's a brick by the latrine - smelly and dirty hard!"

After speaking, Xiangru reached out and put the squirrel mandarin fish into the food box.Seeing this, Hua Xiling hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I made a mistake, and the lady is right. Please don't be angry, since this dish was given to me by my wife, why should I take it back? Please ask me to stand in front of my wife instead." Say thank you."

"I'm only in charge of delivering things according to Madam's arrangement. If you want to thank me, you can do it yourself." Xiang Ru gave Hua Xiling a supercilious look, got up and left with the food box.

"Thank you, girl." After Hua Xiling cupped his hands towards Xiangru's back, he raised his hand and patted himself on the forehead vigorously.

The cooking skills of the old chef of the Yao family are also passed down from generation to generation. This squirrel mandarin fish dish has also been put into great effort, so it is naturally delicious, but Hua Xiling does not know the taste.

He was eating fish and steamed dumplings, but his heart was full of that slim white figure. He couldn't even figure out what this legendary goddess doctor looked like. Was her face long or round?Are the eyelids double or single?Is the nose big or small?Are the lips thin or thick?There is no impression of these, only the slender figure, wearing a white shirt among the refugees in ragged clothes, is more and more holy, like a fairy descending from the sky, not stained by a speck of dust.

Hua Xiling didn't say thank you in the end, but he worked harder to treat those refugees the next day, and he didn't make irresponsible remarks again.

Two days later, Yunyao sent Jin Linwei to escort two thousand captives to help repair the embankment, and Yao Yanyu found out that Yunjin sent people to besiege Zhulin's own residence and wanted to take herself and Yunyao as hostages.Knowing that Yunyao had been poisoned by Gu in the fight with the grass-grass woman of the Miao nationality, she was worried about Yunyao for a while.

However, it is very clear in Yunyao's letter that Grass Grass has been used for her own use, and the danger over the Cheng Cemetery has been lifted. She wants to take people to help Han Yuge and others. embankment.

At Yunyao's request, Granny Miao put a Gu on Yang Fu and his 2000 people, so these people didn't dare to play any tricks.

The arrival of these 2000 people greatly accelerated the progress of the river embankment project. Seven days later, the river embankment was completed, and the current of the Qingjiang River gradually increased, and large ships could already travel together.However, the flood relief here still needs to continue. Fortunately, Gu Yuntong also got news that the price of food had already started to fall because of the Chen family's full opening of warehouses.But also because of the unlimited purchases at the Chen Family Grain Shop, other merchants took advantage of the loopholes, and began to buy large sums of money into grain hoarding.

The government intervened and ordered merchants to limit purchases for a limited time, but with little effect.Moreover, the chaos caused by merchants maliciously driving up food prices in the early stage has not yet completely subsided. The rioters still exist, and the days of gloom and the Qingjiang River bursting in Jiazhou have greatly affected this year's summer harvest. In a word, Huguang still needs food.

Hearing that the grain ship was about to leave, the magistrates of Jiazhou and the surrounding disaster-stricken counties hurried to the door, begging grandpa to tell grandma, and to say all the good things, just so that Mr. Yao, the inspector of Huguang, could show kindness and let him stay. Food boats save lives.Of course, this time the county magistrates were embarrassed to ask for food for nothing, and they each wrote IOUs, saying that they would pay Master Yao back with interest when the harvest was bumper next year.

Yao Yanen looked at several IOUs stamped with the county magistrate's private seal, and said with a helpless smile, "You've got me right!"

The county magistrate of Anling Prefecture smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Although Jiazhou and other places are not inferior to Huguang, they are also close neighbors of Huguang. Even if it is for the stability of Huguang, my lord can't stand idly by. Otherwise, these victims and refugees will flee to Huguang. On the ground, isn’t it still causing trouble for adults.”

"You can talk. But this year, the north and the south were hit by disasters, and there was a shortage of food. You came with me to rob halfway." Yao Yanen was really reluctant, and all the food in the family was pulled out. If the rice in the village is not harvested this year, the Yao family Hundreds of people will go hungry.

However, the starvation of the Yao family is something that will happen in the future, and the tens of thousands of people in front of them are starving. No matter how distressed Yao Yanen is, he has no choice but to leave three more boats of food in order to send the county magistrates away.

The grain ship set sail for Huzhou Wharf, but Yao Yanyu couldn't leave for the time being, because there were still thousands of wounded patients waiting for treatment.

Yao Yanen left the boat he was on to his sister, and the cooks, servants and other handymen on the boat also stayed, and were ordered to serve Mrs. Yao.According to the inspector, he continued westward with the grain ship and went straight to the Huzhou wharf.There, Gu Yuntong and several prefects in Huguang were already waiting for the life-saving food.

The dam was repaired, the flood was completely stopped, and the rest of the disaster area began to be drained and repaired.Fortunately, Jiazhou was originally a city along the river. In order to prevent floods and water for decades, the city has been intertwined with rivers and rivers. As long as the water from the mainstream of the Qingjiang River does not spread, the water in Jiazhou City will fall within three to five days.

However, the entire county has been soaked in water for more than half a month, and even the best houses are not looking good.

The people who were able to walk began to go back to clean up their nests. Yang Fu and his two thousand soldiers continued to be craftsmen, working for the people of Jiazhou in exchange for three meals a day and antidote once every seven days.

Yao Yanyu finally had some free time and began to sort out the medical materials for the rescue of the victims this time, and finally had time to think about Wei Zhang.

I don't know what's going on with him, Yun Jin has worked hard here for more than two years, and he must have a solid foundation.Yao Yanyu felt that it would be impossible for Yun Jin to defeat Wei Zhang, but if he just wanted to run for his life, it should be quite easy.

Yao Yanyu felt that it was impossible for someone like Yun Jin to hand over Lao Di to the captured master painter who knew the news of the agency.As long as he is a little careful, he will not put his life on others, and will definitely leave a hidden way of escape.
