Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 273 Melting Ice
After the carriage came out, seeing that Mint and the others didn't get on, Rong Rong got into her own car with a wink.

Xie Jue followed Su Yue into the car, then opened the car window and said to the outside, "Go, buy ice and ice cream."

so hot...

No wonder Su Yue got out of the car to watch the excitement.

"It will be too wet to put ice cubes in." Su Yue pulled him and said.

When going out, Tang Bing also put ice cubes in the car, but the weather was too hot, and there were a few more people crowded in the car, the ice cubes melted immediately, and the water vapor that came out wet the cushions and skirts.

That's why she said that after leaving the city, the car will cool down after running, so there is no need to put ice on it.

Xie Jue pinched her cheek, called a stupid girl, turned his head to the outside and said, "Xiao Tang, get two iron basins, and give one to the girl behind."

Iron can absorb cold air better than porcelain basins. As long as the ice cubes are not completely melted, the water vapor will not leak out.

Besides, it doesn't matter if it gets wet, just change it!

A few dresses in a carriage, how can it be worth his moon, she is afraid of the heat...

Su Yue moved her lower lip, smiled silently.

There were ice and ice cream sellers at the gate of the city. After a while, Tang Bing brought in an iron bucket of ice and a large bowl of ice cream.

Su Yue looked at the specially enlarged bowl, resigned to her fate, took a spoonful and fed it to Xie Jue first.

Xie Jue swallowed it in one gulp, then half closed the window, leaned on the soft seat, and his eyelids drooped a little.

He came back overnight.

Before the closing time of the city gate at night, someone called Xie Qi out, and discussed matters outside for half the night.

Moreover, with Su Yue by his side, it was easy for him to fall asleep.

Su Yue glanced at him, then at the ice bucket, and took a thin towel to cover him.

"No, I'm hot." Xie Jue hooked his hand, lifted the thin towel, and easily hugged Su Yue's waist, letting her sit beside him.

"Is everything settled?" Seeing that he just closed his eyes and rested his mind, Su Yue swallowed a mouthful of ice cream and asked casually.

"Well, we have a farm less than a hundred miles away from the sea. There used to be barren hills there, but behind the hills, there is a small bay. With some repairs, it can be used as a port." Xie Jue closed his eyes and said.

Su Yue blinked her eyes and remembered that Jingdong Road is Shandong, and there are many good ports on the Jiaozhou Peninsula.

And if you go by sea, it will be much faster to come up from Quanzhou than by land.

"It's very cheap there, I've bought them all, and I've collected a lot of this year's summer grain." Xie Jue opened his eyes slightly and opened his mouth to her.

Su Yue put a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth, and said, "Are there not many autumn grains in the north? It just came out?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I knew I was wrong.

Although most of the crops in the north are autumn crops, there are also some crops that will be planted in late summer and mature before autumn, which are also considered summer crops, and even though they haven't come out yet, they can still be ordered!
Xie Jue smiled slightly, swallowed the ice cream slowly, and said, "Yesterday, someone from the south of the Yangtze River came and said that it had been raining heavily for several days. The amount of rain was so heavy that those old farmers had never seen it before. However, Our farms have already been harvested in advance, but the loss is not big."

Most of the summer grain in the south matures in early June. When the first heavy rain came in May, Jiang Liu, Zheng Qi and the others hurriedly took advantage of the sunny days in the next few days to harvest the crops. Although they were not fully ripe, they came back for seven days. into production.

But other fields in Jiangnan are not so good.

The second torrential rain was a torrential downpour, and when it rained heavily for one day, most of the crops in the field were knocked down, and after another day, they were all submerged in water.

Even taking advantage of the heavy rain to harvest some, the income is only [-] to [-] percent.

If such heavy rain falls for three days in a row, the crops soaked in water will be useless at all.

It's not that this is not mentioned in Mr. Gao's booklet, but the emperor doesn't understand farming, so he naturally doesn't understand the meaning of the sentence that it will rain for three days and the rice will not be used if it is buried in water.

However, Cai Xiang and Han Xiang did not believe at all that with three days of rain, the crops in the south would be unusable?

It's just a vision in one place, and the impact is only that big.

Stupid!

Su Yue paused, frowned slightly and said, "Third Lord, what will happen to those people in the south now that the imperial court is doing nothing like this?"

Xie Jue has a lot of fields in the south, but compared to the whole southern land, it is just a little bit.

Even if Xie Jue's fields are taken back, but the other fields are affected by the disaster.

So……

How many people have to starve to death?
In her previous life, she only heard a few words from other people, saying that there was a lot of rain, there was a big flood, there were gaps in some places, and the grain production was severely reduced, but she didn't witness it with her own eyes, nor did she experience it, and she didn't have an actual impression.

(No matter how big the modern flood is, it is only an economic loss and will not cause food shortages)

Therefore, she would remind Xie Jue that she didn't really feel much about the flood in her heart.

But now, hearing what Xie Jue said, and thinking about it, the imperial court is not prepared yet.

But I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Over the years, Xie Jue took her to many places, Fujian, Lianghu, Anhui, Liangzhe Road...

Those are densely populated places.

If there is a breach, if there is no food, if the court does not give any support.

Many people will die!

Xie Jue opened his eyes, looked at her for a while, sat up, took the ice cream bowl from her hand, took a big mouthful first, and then took a small half of the spoon and put it near Su Yue's mouth.

After Su Yue took it, she smiled and said: "If you are worried, I will go south tomorrow and save as much as I can."

Su Yue's eyes lit up immediately, and she said with the ice cream in her mouth, "Really?!"

Seeing her smile instantly, Xie Jue wiped off the ice cream overflowing from her lips with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and said with a chuckle: "Well, Rongshan has stored food, and I may not be able to do anything about the flood. However, famine can be dealt with one or two."

"Do it in the name of the third master." Su Yue swallowed the ice cream quickly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about doing good deeds without leaving a name. The good deeds done by the third master must be known to the world. Well, at least, Let it be known to those who have been favored."

The name of benevolence and righteousness is very useful in this era!

Xie Jue laughed, and said, "Do you think Master is the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving his name?"

Cai Xiang and Han Xiang gave an excellent opportunity this time, and he would be a ghost if he didn't take advantage of it.

And that Yun Qinghong, by doing this today, when those people arrive in Hangzhou, he can spread rumors all over the south of the Yangtze River.

The fast horse who came from Jiangnan last night has already said that it has been raining for five consecutive days, and there is no intention of stopping at all.

That kind of heavy rain, as long as there is another few days, all the rivers and lakes in the south will flood.

At that time, if it was spread everywhere in the south, it was because Cai Xiang, Han Xiang and other officials in the court refused to let the emperor order relief.

Ha ha!

After laughing, his expression tightened, and he said with a bit of grievance: "But Yue'er, is that all you're talking about?"

As I said, I'm leaving tomorrow!
tomorrow!

Su Yue froze for a moment, looked at his eyes that were almost watering, said ah, and said, "Third Master, don't be so anxious, just stay one more day, the lotus on the village is in bloom, I'll make it for you Eat the lotus flower."

Xie Jue rolled his eyes with a smile.

However, when we arrived at Zhuangzi and saw the lotus in the pond, and Su Yue started to roll up his sleeves, Xie Jue was dumbfounded...
