Gingguo brought the plums up and said, "I can't eat the fruits this year, and the plums are no longer sweet."

Shu Shu looked at Ginkgo and said: "Melons and fruits are not enough to satisfy the hunger, but the crops are the most important thing. If there is a flood at this time, the autumn harvest will be delayed. In September or October, the victims will come to Beijing..."

Zhili has experienced nine droughts in ten years, and it is not a land of high productivity. However, in the Gyeonggi area, due to the Yongding River, droughts have taken turns to be followed by floods, making the people miserable.

As a result, a strange scene occurred.

Every autumn and winter, disaster victims gather outside the gate of Nancheng.

Under the emperor's feet, the people cannot be allowed to freeze to death. When the time comes, they will not be able to provide relief and send them back to their place of origin.

Some people became refugees, yearning for the wealth and prosperity of the capital and refusing to leave.

In this way, the public security in the capital becomes a little unsettled every year at the end of the year.

However, the chaos is mainly in the southern city. The inner city is where the Eight Banners live. The entrance and exit of the city gate must be strictly checked, and it is difficult for refugees to sneak in.

The situation in Nancheng is miserable. Petty theft is common and burglaries also occur from time to time.

While the master and servant were talking, Brother Jiu came back from the front yard.

Gao Bin sent his master back to Beijing, and he was also talking about the rain this summer.

"The potatoes are dying, the fruit trees are dead, and the chicken farms and duck farms that were opened in the spring are also getting sick due to the continuous rain..."

Brother Jiu sat down and told Shu Shu about Xianghe, saying: "Gao Bin was still in high spirits when I wrote the letter last time, but this time he suddenly faded..."

Shu Shu said: "There is nothing we can do about it. This is the first time in more than ten years that we have seen so much rain this year..."

Since Gao Bin is a county magistrate, all these people's livelihood and economy are included in the assessment.

Even if I work hard for half a year, the situation this year will be difficult...
