Chapter 70 Disaster Relief (1)
"Master's Wife, you should not live here anymore. Go live in the manor. Seeing things reminds me of the past. Go to the manor, I will build a medicinal field for you. I will bring Master back after a while. Wouldn't it be nice for you to enjoy the happiness of family life?"
"Isn't your master making gunpowder?" Iron Lady asked after she came to her senses.
"I will train professionals to replace him. Master is old, it's time for him to enjoy his retirement!"
Charlotte sent them back to the village.
He also sent someone to bring Zimo's husband to Kyoto.
Now that the farmhouse was open, Charlotte started to get busy.
First, he gave his mistress a piece of medicinal land for her to cultivate. Then he planted rice on Situ Jin's land. He planted wheat on his own land. The prince's land was planted with sweet potatoes.
Those trained by Cao Zhize were assigned to various fields to work as technicians and manage farms.
Xia Yunyuan’s vegetables are now available on the market.
Charlotte asked him to build a greenhouse as well. Although it was not used for the time being, it was better to be prepared in case of unpredictable weather during the rainy season or winter.
In just one week, Xia Yunyuan had received a lot of money.
The crown prince Zhuangzi also started to grow sweet potatoes. He envied the vegetables that Xia Yunyuan grew.
Charlotte told him that in the future sweet potatoes would not only bring him considerable money but also a bright future.
The prince believed it without a doubt.
Charlotte wrote to the village chief again, asking them to plant more sweet potatoes this year. He also asked him to take the letter to the head of Taohua Village, asking him to plant more sweet potatoes as well.
She also enthusiastically sent sweet potato seeds to Liushu Village and Taohua Village, and wrote down the sowing methods and precautions.
The money used to purchase the seeds can be used to buy the same amount of sweet potatoes or the market price when the sweet potatoes are ripe.
Most people in Liushu Village plant it.
When the chief of Taohua Village received the sweet potato seeds, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
A letter was sent to Cao Zhize in northern Xinjiang, asking them to plant more sweet potatoes and cassava this year. According to the temperature and soil conditions in northern Xinjiang, these sweet potatoes and cassava can produce higher yields.
As a result, in July, there were floods in the south and drought in the north. The people of Mobei suffered terribly.
The harvest was poor, and local officials sent countless memorials to the emperor every day.
The emperor couldn't eat for many days and looked worried.
Concubine Xi noticed that the emperor looked much more haggard in recent days.
"Your Majesty, have you been worried lately? You may as well talk to me. Don't keep it to yourself. My daughter-in-law and I still have a shop to run. If you need money, you can talk to me."
"It's rare that my beloved concubine understands my thoughts. But money can't solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. There are floods in the south and droughts in the north, and there is a shortage of food."
"According to what I have learned, my daughter-in-law has a lot of sweet potatoes planted on her farm, which can fill her stomach. You can summon your son and daughter-in-law to the palace to ask about it."
Without waiting for the emperor to summon him.
Situ Jin and Xia Luo came to the door.
"Father, there are floods in the south and drought in the north, and there is a shortage of food. We grow a lot of sweet potatoes, rice and wheat on our farm, and we can sell them to those in need at a fair price. If the emperor wants to go to provide disaster relief, we can provide them for free."
"If it's not enough, the Duke's Mansion has a large amount of sweet potatoes. But those are the basis for them to make money. So give them some compensation appropriately."
There are tens of millions of kilograms of rice and wheat in Charlotte's space. But she can't take them all out. She has to plant some in the farm so that the ones in the space can go a clear way.
"Good, that's great! You two are my lucky stars. I will now gather all my dear ministers to take statistics on the disaster-stricken areas and the places where relief is provided." The emperor immediately perked up and told Xiao Dezi to let all the ministers enter the palace to discuss the matter.
"Your Majesty, the flood disaster in the south is severe. We must send people to provide disaster relief as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily cause riots in southern Xinjiang." The right prime minister reported to the emperor.
Originally, Southern Xinjiang was bordering on the outer border. Now the King of Han in the outer border is being detained here, and they have not come to ask for peace, resulting in a stalemate.
"The northern border is now heavily guarded and relatively stable. I heard that they have food called sweet potatoes and cassava, which have solved the local food shortage." The left prime minister reported to the emperor.
"The west is mostly plateaus, and they mainly eat cattle and sheep. They are not greatly affected by droughts and floods." The military minister reported to the emperor.
"The village where the prince lives has not suffered from the drought. It is said that they also grow food such as sweet potatoes. However, the refugees there have become a disaster. They steal food and their safety has become a major hidden danger," the military secretary reported to the emperor.
"You don't know that the planting of sweet potatoes and cassava is done by my son and daughter-in-law. They have a longer vision than us for the people and are more open-minded than us."
"When I rewarded them, many of you made irresponsible remarks. You offered suggestions, but what is the most important thing in the world is to fill the stomachs of the people."
"They ignored other people's criticism. At this time of national crisis, they came to me and asked me to send people to deliver food to the people. This is not sending material food, but spiritual food."
The emperor spoke in a rhythmic manner.
The ministers below were so shocked by what they heard that they wanted to lower their heads into their crotches.
Ashamed!
"And the prince of the Duke's Mansion, my second son-in-law, also provided a large amount of sweet potatoes. I cannot use silver to compensate him too much. I will confer the title of Duke on him. Those who object can also take food to provide disaster relief. I will also confer the title."
At this time, Xia Luo remembered that the prince was Situ Jin's second brother-in-law.
Finally, Situ Jin and Xia Luo were sent to southern Xinjiang to provide disaster relief.
He sent the king's uncle and the Imperial Guard to the east to disperse the refugees.
Xia Luo took Tiebushan, other talented people, and eight guards to southern Xinjiang.
Before leaving, Charlotte asked the emperor to hand over the Khan to her.
See if we can reconcile with foreign countries and restore border trade.
Southern Xinjiang borders on the outside Xinjiang.
There are many ethnic groups. Each tribal leader has his own independent group.
Because some tribes live in forests or mountains all year round, so it is difficult to communicate.
Tielihua is the leader of the Yi tribe. They live in a forest.
The Yi architecture is mainly made of wood, and is characterized by simplicity, exquisiteness, rigorous structure and strong durability.
Their source of livelihood is basically self-sufficiency.
Their staple food is grilled corn, grilled fish, grilled meat, lamb, beef, chicken, shrimp and other grilled foods.
Their weaving traditions are exquisite, and their utensils, furniture, textiles and shoes are colorful and exquisite.
They first went to Tiebushan's hometown.
Charlotte also wanted to find the whereabouts of her father and mother.
If Tielihua is really her mother, then she will be able to carry out her work here more easily.
Every tribe here has been eroded by floods and wild beasts. The forest beasts have also been washed deep into the mountains by floods. The surface of the earth is no longer covered with green. It is muddy and humid.
They went to the provincial government office, but they couldn't solve the problem either.
They had no choice but to join forces with the government to investigate each tribe one by one.
Tiebushan went straight back to his hometown, the Yi tribe.
When Situ Jin and Xia Luo came to the Yi tribe.
We saw many people gathered in a circle in a square surrounded by bamboo houses, preparing to welcome them as they would guests from afar.
The rice wine on the table was fragrant.
Pork, beef, lamb and chicken were all grilled to a sizzling finish.
People all put on festive clothes. It was a grand scene.
"Come, let me see. Are you really my daughter?" Tielihua's eyes were red, and she held Charlotte's hand tightly.
It turns out that Tiebushan had mentioned this in a letter before.
Tielihua waited long and hard for them to come.
Before she could even take out the jade pendant, Tielihua hugged Charlotte in her arms.
This look is a replica of her when she was young.
