Chapter 2470: Situation (3)
Chapter 2470 Situation (3)
"Yes." Xue Zhongli sighed and said, "So in order to allow the imperial court more time to deliver food, and prevent the victims from running out of food and causing trouble, we boiled the porridge from the day the disaster relief began. It's a little rare. It is precisely because of the incomprehension of the victims that bandits have arisen, leaving Saiyuan Mansion in a situation of internal and external troubles."
Ning'an Hou said: "So it is."
Murong Lingran listened silently behind them, she was short of food, she was a mobile granary, and there was food.
Before, she used to grow food every day, and harvested it as soon as she had the chance, and then replanted it for several years. Now, she can't say how much food there is in the space, but most of it has not been threshed and cannot be eaten directly. That's it.
Even now, one acre of grain is grown on her black soil.
After a while, they came to Renyi Academy.
It was almost time for lunch, and all the victims had already started to come out of their houses and started to line up.
Like the tent area in Lihua Village, it seems that not all people can live in the house. There are also many tents in the open space, and the people inside started to come out with bowls, but they are all young and strong people, and they are not easy to freeze to death. people, there is also a fire next to them to keep them warm.
Each of them is unkempt, and it seems that they just want to eat every day, and they can't care about the rest.
Murong Lingran and his party came to the porridge bucket opposite the porridge maker and glanced at the porridge in the porridge bucket. It was really too thin to be thinner.
Ning Anhou and Murong Lingran frowned at the same time, how could they possibly be full, the last time they went to the toilet, they would probably be hungry again.
Compared with the victims in Saiyuan Prefecture, the victims in Lihua Village in Beijing are really much happier.
The Marquis of Ning'an took Murong Lingran and Xue Zhongli away from the disaster victims. Seeing that there were many white-haired elderly people and children under the age of 13 in the queue, he asked, "For the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, you don't give special care to the elderly like the capital. Do they set aside a place for special care?"
"Master Hou, forgive your sins." Xue Zhongli said, "There are too many victims in Saiyuan Mansion, we can't take care of them at all, and we don't have much food to take care of them, so we only treat those who are sick and pregnant. The women and children under three years old and their mothers arranged it separately, and a doctor was also sent to take care of them, but the food was not much better than those of the ordinary disaster victims, but the porridge was a little thicker."
The Marquis of Ning'an also knew Xue Zhongli's embarrassment, but he still frowned: "It won't work like this, those children are Xuanqing's hope, if something happens to them, Xuanqing's population will be much smaller in the future. The long-term development is extremely unfavorable.”
Xue Zhongli immediately knelt down, "Master Hou, calm down, there is nothing you can do for a lower official, the entire Saiyuan Mansion has been devastated, not to mention that there is not that much food at all, if other people know about it, the old, the weak, the sick and the sick will have enough to eat. Eating it will definitely make more people dissatisfied and cause turmoil. And as a result, the victims of the disaster will probably not be able to insist on the delivery of food from the imperial court."
The Marquis of Ning An helped him up and said, "This Marquis knows, this Marquis doesn't mean to blame you, but we need to think of a way, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious."
Xue Zhongli said: "But it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice."
The Marquis of Ning An said: "I will continue to write to Your Majesty, asking His Majesty to order the people from the household department to send more food."
