He Yunxi was a little surprised when she learned that the emperor had given her a house and a village, but she accepted it calmly.
The emperor could make a lot of money by making ice, which enriched his own treasury and indirectly enriched the national treasury.
It wasn't that He Yunxi wanted to please the emperor, but she heard what Lu Yan said about what happened next. After the drought, there would be floods in other places. The successive disasters led to an increase in uprisings, and the delay in disaster relief also killed many people. She felt that she
You can do something to save someone else's life.
But no matter what she does, she is only one person, with limited power, and she also has to worry about the suspicion of the imperial power. It is too complicated, so it is better to let the emperor handle it himself. Only by taking action from the imperial court can more lives be saved.
And the emperor did not disappoint her. He made a lot of money this summer, and then used the money to buy grain. He bought grain. It was originally prepared for this drought, but he accidentally bought too much, and the next year appeared.
It also resisted the flood for a while and saved many people's lives.
Of course, this is another story.
At this time, He Yunxi was still hurrying on his way.
It took a day's carriage ride before they arrived at Liaozhou City. The speed was much slower than driving on their own. No wonder Lu Yan planned to go out in five days. But she estimated that five days might not be enough.
Also because there were too many people, everyone separated, went to find accommodation, and agreed on a time to meet tomorrow before leaving. Lu Yan and He Yunxi went directly to Zhuangzi to take a look at the corn planting situation.
Now the corn has grown half as tall as a child. Because the Luo River flows through the middle of Zhuangzi, and the water source comes close to the corn first, the corn is growing very well. The leaves of each plant are dark green, and at first glance
It's very vital.
Yu Shaoyu and Huang Yumin also came, but because they felt uncomfortable after riding in a carriage for a day, they were resting in the yard and did not know about the corn.
Early the next morning, He Yunxi and Luo Fu cooked a large pot of hand-made noodles, and each of them ate a bowl of noodles before setting off.
The next few days were spent on the road, but He Yunxi discovered that after leaving Liaozhou, the number of refugees outside had increased significantly. Many refugees looked at them, their eyes shining. If it weren't for their larger number, those people might have rushed to the place.
Came up.
He Yunxi felt that the sights she saw along the way were too shocking, but Lu Yan said that this was much better than in the previous life. At least there were no corpses of people starving to death on the roadside, and there was no such tragic situation as the previous life where they were starved to death.
On the evening of the sixth day, the large army arrived at Luohe City.
As a prefectural city, Luohe City looks very big from the outside, and you can't see the end of the city wall at a glance.
However, what greeted them was not the prosperity of Luohe City, but the countless refugees camped outside the city.
Perhaps because Fucheng provides porridge every day, these people did not react much when they saw them. When they came to the city gate, they were immediately stopped by the soldiers guarding the city gate.
Because the number of refugees and disaster victims is increasing now, which will affect the safety of the city, an order has been issued now that ordinary people are not allowed to enter the city.
"We are not refugees, we are students who came to participate in this autumn festival." Xiang Hongyu said to the guard, and then issued a certificate from the college, and everyone also took their household registration and road guide.
The soldiers guarding the city inspected it and let them in.
"The college has rented a courtyard. Those who have no place to live can follow." Wang Wenbin said, "Everyone has a place to stay. Please report the address of your place to me so that I can notify you of anything."
Because the college brought everyone here in advance, these students were not fully prepared and did not find this accommodation. In addition to Lu Yan and the other two students, there were two other students who found their own accommodation, and the others followed the college.
.
"Young Master, it's time for you." A man dressed as a boy came over and saluted Yu Shaoyu, "The carriage is ready, and the madam and the old lady are waiting for you to go back."
"Let them wait first. I want to go to where I live to take a look first." Yu Shaoyu said to Lu Yan, "Brother Lu, you may not be familiar with this city. You're welcome. Let Xiao Suanzao lead the way."
"Master, you are back. Where will you stay if you don't live at home?"
"I've been living with my classmate for the past two months. It's just over Shunyu Street." Yu Shaoyu said, "Little Suizao, why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way!"
Xiao Suanzao's expression cracked: "Master, if Madam and Old Madam know that you are not living at home, I'm afraid..."
"If my grandmother and mother knew that Brother Lu and I were living together, they would definitely approve." Yu Shaoyu urged him, climbed onto Huang Yumin's carriage, "hurry up and lead the way."
Xiao Suanzao had no choice but to drive the Yu family's carriage to lead the way and led a group of people to Shunyu Road.
Shunyu Road is not very far from Gongyuan. If the carriage cannot pass by, you can still walk there. Moreover, this is where most literati live. It is far away from the busy city and relatively quiet. And it is not very far from where the Master and others live. If you want to go
It is also convenient to find a husband.
Following the address, they came to a door that was not very conspicuous. Mo Ye knocked on the door, and soon a middle-aged man opened the door.
Seeing Lu Yan, he leaned over and saluted: "Master."
"Uncle Qiu, remove the threshold and let the carriage in." Lu Yan ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Uncle Qiu and Mo Ye quickly took down the door sill, waited for the two carriages to enter, put it back on, and then closed the door.
He Yunxi got off the carriage and looked around here.
"This is the outer courtyard. It's not very big. There's also a courtyard inside." Uncle Qiu introduced.
He Yunxi looked at the five or six houses and the courtyard where two carriages could easily stop. Hearing Uncle Qiu say that this place was not very big, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Fortunately, Yu Shaoyu and Huang Yumin are not short of money, otherwise you would be like Versailles.
Uncle Qiu has also arranged this courtyard. The largest room is Lu Yan's study, one is for Yu Shaoyu and Huang Yumin, one is for the two young men, one is for Uncle Qiu, and the other is for Mo Ye and
Mo Xin's also has a kitchen at the end.
There was nothing to see here, so everyone went to the yard at the back. There were fewer houses in this yard, a main house, a room for Luo Fu and Fufeng, and two other rooms.
He Yunxi took a look and planned to build a temporary kitchen in the yard.
If there were only family members, she could go directly to the kitchen in front to cook, but now that two foreign men came to the house and lived in the outer courtyard, it was difficult for her to go there every day.
But it’s too late today, so let’s wait until tomorrow.
At this time, a woman came over and said, "I have seen you, sir. Madam, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat?"
