After the Double Ninth Festival, Daohua added another thing to her daily life, which was to go for a horse walk in the suburbs.

Sometimes she goes with Zhou Jingwan, sometimes she goes alone.

Mrs. Li was worried about an accident. Every time she went out, in addition to Wang Maner and Qin Xiaoliu, Daohua had to take a mother-in-law and two boys with her.

The days have become busy, and time has passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it is mid-October.

One day, Daohua came back from outside with Hongzao in hand. When she returned to the main courtyard, she saw Mrs. Li sitting with a sad face.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Did someone make you angry?"

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter, called her to sit next to her, and then said with a smile: "With you here, who dares to bully me!"

Daohua smiled: "Then what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Li sighed: "Your father came back just now and said that the batch of grain seeds sent to Fenxi was lost!"

"What?!" Daohua's eyes widened with surprise on her face, "How could it be lost? Didn't it say that the army is responsible for escorting the grain? Can it be lost like this?"

Mrs. Li: "I heard that I met a robber."

Daohua couldn't believe it: "Are the robbers so powerful these days that they even dare to rob the army?"

Mrs. Li sighed: "It wasn't because of the severe drought in the north two years ago that many people couldn't survive and went to the mountains to become robbers. Although the situation has been slightly better in the past two years, the conditions in the fields have not yet calmed down.

Later, the food output was not high and we could not fill our stomachs, so the banditry became more and more serious."

Daohua frowned: "Don't those robbers know that they are transporting the grain that is about to be planted? How will others live after they robbed it?"

Mrs. Li: "How can you expect people who have become bandits to have a conscience and consider others? Thank God that bandits don't kill people randomly."

Daohua looked worried: "Then what should we do now? It doesn't mean that the people in Fenxi are just waiting for this batch of winter wheat to be planted so that they can eat next year. Now that the grain seeds are lost, won't there be another disaster?

”

Mrs. Li shook her head. Matters related to people's livelihood were not something that she, a housewife, could solve.

Daohua sighed and lamented that it was not easy for the people in ancient times.

Suddenly, Daohua suddenly raised her head and asked eagerly: "Mom, the grain seeds are lost, father won't take responsibility, right?"

Mrs. Li shook her head and reassured: "No, your father handed over the grain completely to Governor Guo, and there is an official handover document. If the superiors want to blame, it will be Governor Guo who is blamed, and it has nothing to do with your father.

”

Daohua was relieved.

In ancient times, it was important to sit together. If something happened to the cheap dad, their whole family would not be able to live well.

Mrs. Li frowned: "But..."

Dao Huaxin asked: "But what?"

Mrs. Li sighed: "Your father originally wanted to accumulate merit by providing grain seeds. If it solves the problem of food and clothing for the people in Fenxi Province, even if your father is not an official there, he will still have merit for providing grain seeds.

It’s a pity that everything is gone now.”

Daohua nodded, and then said with a worried look: "Governor Guo... is Xiao Yeyang's uncle. If he is punished, that guy will be worried."

Talk about Cao Cao and Cao Cao’s arrival.

The day after Daohua learned that the grain seeds were lost, Xiao Yeyang came to Yan Mansion.

At this time, Daohua was feeding red dates in the stable. When she saw Butler Sun and Qin Wu coming to the stable in a hurry, they took the horses and were about to leave.

Normally, when meeting Daohua, Butler Sun would have to say hello, and Qin Wu would touch the red dates. But this time, the two of them just said hello to Daohua and left quickly.

"What happened? Butler Sun and the others look like they are going on a long trip." Daohua looked at the leaving figures of several people in confusion.

Qin Xiaoliu on the side also looked puzzled and said quickly: "Girl, let me go and find out?"

Daohua nodded: "Go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiaoliu ran away.

After a while, Qin Xiaoliu ran back: "Girl, the uncle is back, and the young prince has also come to our house. He is in the front yard now!"

Daohua quickly threw the fodder in her hands into the manger and frowned: "The academy only has a holiday at the end of the month. Why are they back at this time? Is it for food planting?"

Daohua walked quickly towards the main courtyard. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Mrs. Li and Yan Wenxiu hurriedly walking out.

"Mom, brother, where are you going?"

Mrs. Li: "Your brother and I have something urgent to deal with now. We will talk to you when we are done." After saying this, the two of them left quickly.

Seeing this, Daohua was silent for a moment and said to Wang Maner behind her: "Let's go to the front yard and have a look."

......

After leaving the Weeping Flower Gate, Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang sitting in the pavilion in the outer courtyard.

Different from his previous high spirits, at this moment, this guy looks a little sad, with a worried look on his brows.

"What's wrong with you?"

Daohua walked into the pavilion.

Xiao Yeyang was worried about his uncle Governor Guo. When he saw someone coming to disturb him, he was about to get angry. When he looked up and saw that it was rice flowers, he immediately suppressed his anger again and said blearily: "Why are you here?"

"I should be asking you this." Daohua walked to the opposite side and sat down. Seeing Xiao Yeyang frowning, she asked, "Are you worried about your uncle?"

Xiao Yeyang looked at the rice flowers and nodded: "Due to severe drought in the past two years, banditry has sprung up in many places in the north. My uncle was appointed governor in order to eliminate banditry."

"Among them, Fenxi has the most serious disasters, so it also has the most banditry."

"The root cause of banditry is the lack of food. Therefore, if we want to completely eliminate the banditry problem, we must find a fundamental solution."

"To be honest, Mr. Yan has developed high-yielding grain seeds. Not only the emperor's uncle is happy, but also my uncle is full of joy, so that he can solve the banditry problem as soon as possible."

"But, at this moment, the grain seeds were lost!"

If the harvest in Fenxi is not confiscated again next year, banditry will definitely become more and more serious. This is a serious dereliction of duty for my uncle, who is the governor of the suppression of bandits. Even if there is a reason, he will be punished.

"If there is a big trouble, it will be a light thing to throw away one's official position and title."

The Guo family also has many political opponents in the court. They will not miss such a good opportunity and will definitely seriously hurt the Guo family.

Listening to this, Daohua felt very heavy.

If an uncontrollable chaos really breaks out, I'm afraid you'll be exiled and your house will be ransacked, right?

At this time, Yan Wenxiu came over and looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Little prince, my mother has sent people to various villages to collect the remaining grain seeds, but the quantity may not be very large."

There was no way, the planting time for this batch of grain seeds with high yield was too short, and their family only harvested one season. In addition to the seeds they kept at home, they also distributed some to others, so they didn't save much.
