Tang's dining table

Chapter 313 Save the people or harm the people?

Cui's actions were much faster than Yunchu expected.

In the evening, a panda doll exactly like the one Yun Chu saw in later generations appeared.

Putting the doll and the flower bear together, even the flower bear thought it was his companion, and handed the doll the remaining bamboo he had eaten, hoping to share the joys and sorrows.

Naha screamed and snatched the doll away. Although this bear doll was made after the half-sized panda in Jinchangfang, it was still quite big and almost buried Naha inside.

Yu Xiurong also wanted it, but she still couldn't compete with her sister-in-law for the doll.

She touched the doll just now. Not only was the black and white satin slippery, the whole bear was filled with cotton, which was soft and pleasant.

Now that it was taken away by Naha, the eighteen-year-old mother of two children said angrily to Mrs. Cui: "Since you know this thing is rare, why did you only make one?"

Ms. Cui said awkwardly: "This is a sample in itself. If you make too much and it doesn't go well, your family will lose money."

Yu Xiurong thought for a moment, then returned to the room and took out three gems, one large, two small, and handed them to Cui. "Put the black one on the nose and put two sapphires on the eyes. Make me a bear immediately."

Yun Chu saw the one black and two blue gems that Cui held in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that if Yu Xiurong did this, Naha, who never admits defeat, would definitely put Cui's inferior gem on the bear's face. The gems will also be replaced, but I don’t know what she will end up with.

In terms of gems, Naha has the most gems in her hands.

Immediately, Yun Chu shook his head and smiled. Maybe this is the essence of luxury goods. After all, this thing is for comparison.

So Yunchu said to Cui: "Take three of the best stones from the warehouse and put them on the bear's head. This bear will only be shown to the guests, not sold. If they want the same thing, they can get it themselves." Put it on with gems.”

Mrs. Cui is a smart person who knows everything. After hearing what Lang Jun said, she immediately implemented it.

Yu Xiurong said with some embarrassment: "Husband, I am just too playful. You should not waste the precious stones in your family."

Yun Chu raised his hand and touched the face of this eighteen-year-old mother of two children and said with a smile: "You are only six years older than Naha. Why can't you do what she can do? Just like it."

Before Yunchu finished speaking, he heard Naha snort heavily behind him, and it seemed that she was going to turn over her gems.

Even God seemed to be displeased with this family's wasteful behavior, and a drop of rain fell on Yun Chu's forehead.

He looked up at the sky, and more of God's saliva fell on his face and spat all over him. It seemed that God was becoming more and more dissatisfied with his behavior.

Chang'an City needs such a rain to wash away the dust on the buildings.

I just watched the rain pouring down, and soon there was water in the yard.

The housekeeper Liu Yi, wearing a raincoat and leading the servants, removed the blockage from the drain. After a while, the water in the yard flowed along the outlet and into the sewer on the left side of the street.

The sky falls into the water, and the last trace of heat in Chang'an City dissipates.

While eating, Yun Chu looked at the rain that was a little red due to the light, then put down his bowls and chopsticks and went out to take a look.

The heavy rain was still falling, and there was no sign of it abating at all. Yunchu liked rain very much, but he didn't like this kind of splashing rain without any aesthetic feeling.

Yu Xiurong came over and dragged Yun Chu back to the room, put the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and said, "Continue eating, it will get cold in a while."

It was actually not uncommon for such heavy rain to fall in Chang'an City, so Yun Chu continued to eat and drink a little wine.

In the middle of the night, Yun Chu was awakened by the cry of his child. He saw Yu Xiurong holding her daughter and breastfeeding her, while his son was there with his fist raised and his mouth open, howling.

Yun Chu quickly stood up, picked up his son, and looked through the diaper. Fortunately, the child was hungry.

Yun Chu held his son and lit another candle. Perhaps the child's eyes had some reaction to the light. His beautiful girl no longer cried, and her dark eyes stared at the flickering candlelight without blinking.

Caiyun Niang was obviously full, her mouth was wide open, and she made a series of strange squealing sounds, just like Hua Xiong.

Yun Chu handed Mei Yuer over to Yu Xiurong for breastfeeding. He placed Caiyun Niang on his arm and patted her back gently until the child farted a bunch of things and burped a few times in her mouth. Then he wrapped the child in swaddling clothes.

Yu Xiurong held the nursing Mei Yu'er and looked at her husband under the candlelight and said, "How does your husband know things that only these women know?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I learned it from the old immortal. Speaking of which, the old immortal has been to Liuzhou for a year, and Lao He has been away for more than half a year since he went to Liuzhou for safety. He should be back."

Yu Xiurong said proudly: "Our two blessed children have already met Master Xuanzang. If we let the old god see him again, these two children will be 80% lucky."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Why don't you say 100%?"

Yu Xiurong rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "There is no such thing as full blessing. Leave a little regret so that these two children can grow up."

When Yunchu saw Caiyun Niang asleep again, he gently placed her in the cradle and pulled the gauze curtain closer to prevent the candlelight from shining into the child's eyes.

Listening to the sound of the rainstorm still coming from outside the window, Yunchu sighed softly, it was already the fourth watch, and the rainstorm had been very fierce and rapid from the beginning, and it still continued and the rain was unstoppable. Minus, the farmers outside Chang'an City should have suffered disaster by this time.

Thinking of this, Yun Chu started to put on his clothes. Yu Xiurong said, "Husband, do you want to go out?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "The rainstorm keeps coming, I should go to the Yamen and take charge."

Yu Xiurong listened to the sound of rain for a while and said to Yun Chu: "Husband, go quickly, don't delay the business."

Yunchu put on his raincoat and opened the door to the back house. Liu Yi, who had been guarding the gatehouse, quickly came over and said, "Lang Jun, the heavy rain has already caused a disaster."

Yunchu saw that the rainwater hitting the raincoat had turned into a stream flowing downwards, and said to Liu Yi, "Look at home, I'll go to the Yamen."

Liu Yi agreed and called Fat Ba, and immediately Fat Ba came over from the stable leading the bay-red horse that had been saddled.

Liu Yi opened the door of the Yun family's exclusive small shop. When Yun Chu came to the street carrying a lantern, he found that the street had turned into a river.

Facing the heavy rain, the bay-red horse appeared to be quite excited. After calling out in the rain, it carried Yunchu straight to the Wannian County Government Office in Dongshi City.

The Dongshi River, which used to be a gurgling stream, has now become a little turbulent. He hurriedly entered the county government office, jumped off his horse, and said to the gatekeeper: "Bang the drum, gather together."

When Yunchu sat down in the Wannian County Hall, Chief Wu and County Captain Zhang were already lined up on both sides. Soon after the drums sounded, everyone on duty in the county government office had already arrived.

Even Wen Wen, who doesn't have to abide by Wannian county government rules, suddenly appeared in the court.

When everyone arrived, Yunchu kept the story short.

"The heavy rain has been falling for five hours, and the farmland outside the city will definitely be affected. Please start taking action according to the plan we made before. I want you to summon everyone to the county government to stand by before the city gate opens at dawn.

As long as the city gate is open, don't worry about people for now. We will all participate in collecting the autumn grain soaked in the water. After harvesting the grain, we will rescue people. "

Everyone obeyed the order in unison and dispersed, going about their own business in accordance with the disaster relief strategy formulated by Wannian County Government.

Wen Wen, who had nothing to do, looked at the dark sky outside and said, "This time is very troublesome. It is really rare for a heavy rain to fall for five or six hours in one breath.

This is the first time I've seen this in my life. "

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Just follow the prepared strategy. No matter what kind of disaster it is, we can get through it."

Wen Wen shook her head and said, "No wonder you can be the chief officer. I'm not as optimistic as you."

If Yunchu was not the magistrate of Wannian County and did not know the real living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty, he would have been in Chang'an City all day long, like many poets of later generations, in singing and dancing, in the passion of poets , singing the praises of the prosperous Tang Dynasty under the moonlight in the golden age of the Tang Dynasty.

No, he is the county magistrate. He knows too much. He knows all the pain of the people of Tang Dynasty and how difficult their lives are.

We are all ordinary people. Even in the prosperous times, can it be said that the crops in the fields will grow by themselves?

The sky is slightly bright.

Yun Chu led the county government officials, government servants, policemen, and delinquents to leave Chang'an City quickly, stepping in knee-deep water and trudging through the muddy water to collect these grains.

Fortunately, towards noon, the rain finally changed from pouring rain to drizzle.

There were not many fields growing autumn grains in Wannian County, and there were a lot of people dispatched. It took rows of people three full days to retrieve the autumn grains soaked in water.

After the food was retrieved, the next thing to do was to resettle the people whose houses were flooded, and to prepare firewood for boiling water and shelter from the rain.

In the past three days, the sky has not cleared up, and the rain has been falling, but sometimes it is heavy and sometimes it is light.

Yunchu summoned the district chiefs from various places and ordered them to implement Wannian County's health regulations and use the coal, grain, oilcloth, bamboo poles, ropes and other materials stored outside the city by Wannian County to immediately start self-rescue.

After arranging everything, Yunchu visited the two most flooded areas in the rain to confirm that relief supplies had been distributed.

Then he dragged his exhausted body back to Chang'an City.

Yunchu returned to the county office wet and untied his raincoat, feeling that all the heat in his body seemed to have been taken away by the continuous autumn rain.

After taking a sip of hot soup, my teeth that were constantly clashing settled down, and I was able to speak a complete sentence or two.

After wiping the rain off his body and drying his clothes in the warm weather, Wen Wen, who stayed behind at the county government office, whispered: "There is too much water in the Qujiang pond, and it has already poured into Chang'an City. At today's court meeting, someone suggested digging up the Qujiang River. The pond releases flood water.”
