Zhou Shuren was a palace that left at noon and talked to the emperor all morning about what to use to replace food. The people on the grassland now rely on military food to provide relief. There is not much food for relief. They have half full meals a day, as long as they don’t starve to death.

Military food cannot be provided forever, and the food of the grassland people cannot be delayed.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Shuren saw Jin Yan's face full of joy. Before Zhou Shuren asked, Jin Yan said, "Master, Princess Qin is awake."

Zhou Shuren was gone with a sad face and said, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up, what did the imperial doctor say after seeing him?"

Jinyan, "The imperial physician said that the princess needs to rest and is not suitable for moving now, and she still needs to have biconfinement."

Zhou Shuren breathed a sigh of relief. His daughter woke him up and his eyes fell on the falling snowflakes, and his face was filled with sadness. Food, "Let's go, let's go back to the Ministry of Revenue."

He has to make careful calculations about the newly collected food.

In the Zhou family, Zhulan feeds her daughter porridge until her daughter can’t drink it, but she lets the girl take it away and wipes the corners of her daughter’s mouth with a veil.

Xuehan was still very weak, "Mom, you don't have to take care of me personally, there's a girl!"

Zhulan, "I will feel at ease when I ask me to take care of you. This time I will let my mother take care of you for confinement."

Xuehan felt tired when she spoke. When she was unconscious, she was unconscious and drowsy until she woke up. She felt like she was a different life after walking through the gates of hell.

Xuehan, "Mom, you and dad have worried these days."

Zhulan touched her daughter's hand, and then she got cold after taking it out of the quilt for a while. She quickly put it back on the quilt, "Since you know we are worried, you can take good care of yourself in the future."

Xuehan was also scared. She almost felt uncomfortable when she thought of the child’s lung problems, "Yes."

Seeing that his daughter was not very energetic and had just woken up and needed more rest. When Zhulan heard the sound of footsteps, Rong Chuan came back from washing up and stood up and said, "I'll go see the child."

This child is guarded by the Imperial Doctor, who lives in the Zhou family.

Rong Chuan's eyes were covered with blood, "How do you feel?"

Xuehan raised his hand and touched his husband's face, "Why do I think you are so old that I'm old when I just slept?"

"I'm worried about you."

Xuehan's eyes were filled with tears, "You just can't take care of yourself."

Rong Chuan didn't dare to close his eyes and held his wife's hand, "My wife gives me a place, I want to sleep with you."

Xuehan glared, "This is the bed for confinement."

Although there is no taboo for men not to go to the confinement room, they have never slept together.

Rong Chuan carefully hugged his wife and moved away some seats, laying up smoothly and said, "I can't sleep if you are not by my side."

Xuehan looked at the dumbfounded female official, who looked like he was reluctant to speak but stopped. Xuehan lowered her head again, and her husband was already asleep.

Qizhou, Chang Lian looked up at the sky, "It's snowing?"

The voice was full of uncertainty.

The prefect looked serious and looked up at the falling snowflakes, "Well, it's snowing."

Chang Lian widened his eyes, "It's the first time I have seen snow in Qizhou after I came to Qizhou for a few years."

The prefect rubbed his hands. This year's flood had a great impact on Qizhou, and everything was short of. "The weather this year was colder than in previous years."

Chang Lian felt deep in his heart, "The harvest of winter rice is less than halfway through, and the fish has not grown much. Isn't this snow frozen to death by the winter vegetables that the people just planted?"

The prefect frowns into a knot. The court exempted the taxes from the affected states, and the people had food to survive. This winter vegetables were also life-saving vegetables. "The relief food sent by the court is gone."

Chang Lian nodded, "Well, this batch of grain has been harvested until winter rice is harvested. Now winter rice has been harvested, and there is no relief grain at all."

The prefect, "The government office has not much money."

Chang Lian frowned, "I just hope this snow is not heavy."

If it snows heavily, it will be even harder to bear in winter.

The prefect looked at Chang Lian, "I will cooperate with you when you propose."

He had a bad premonition of this snow. Although the people harvested some rice and some grain, the grain yield was too low and the people with few fields could not survive the winter. He got more food to save it. As for the court, the court could no longer produce excess food.

And if he writes a memorial to Beijing again, this is his incompetence.

Chang Lian raised his eyebrows. He had already thought of a plan and the prefect suppressed it because the court approved the relief food. Now the snow has made the prefect uneasy, "Yes."

In a blink of an eye, it was five days. Xuehan recovered well and could already sit for a while. Rong Chuan wanted to accompany his wife to confinement, but there were too many things waiting for him. Eunuch Zhang invited him out of the Zhou Mansion, packed his luggage and set off for Pinggang.

When the ship patrolled by Pinggang came back, he brought back a lot of sea goods. He went to Pinggang to be responsible for the processing of sea goods.

Pinggang has established several workshops for handling seafood in just a few days, waiting for the arrival of the King of Qin.

This is the method discussed by Zhou Shuren and the emperor. Mix rice bran and straw with some cornmeal, add some fish, sea vegetables, and bake them into pancakes. Fish can resist some hunger as much as possible. Try to make the fish as much as possible.

Fish bones are not wasted, they are ground into powder to supplement calcium and resist hunger. At this time, they only seek to survive, and they don’t consider fish fish.

Ginger is an important substance now, and there is not so much ginger to remove the fishy smell. As for wine, there is no need to think about it. This year, the grain output is low, and the court has controlled the brewing of wine, and some private wineries are not allowed to brew wine.

In order to catch more fish, the court also asked the navy to organize civilian fishing boats to go out to sea together.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren touched the teacup, and he thought of goat milk and then sighed.

The Supreme Emperor, "Why did Shuren sigh?"

Zhou Shuren, "I feel sorry for the sheep and cattle that the grassland herders finally raised."

The most miserable war was the people. The people on the grassland were defeated, the deserters of their tribes robbed them, and the officers and soldiers of the court also robbed them, and the cattle and sheep could not be saved at all. Even if some survived, they could only kill enough to fill their stomachs in the face of hunger. A large number of sheep and cattle were gone.

This shows that the prices of beef and mutton in Beijing have risen now and are still very scarce.

The Supreme Emperor, "Shuren feels sorry for the goat's milk and cow's milk from the grassland."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes, if there are herds of cattle and sheep, the dairy products are nutritious and can still bear hunger."

He can do more with goat milk and cow milk, but unfortunately there isn't, so he said there is no good way. It's not just about having ideas but no material support. Now he can only think of ways in the ocean.

Fortunately, there was no pollution in ancient times, and the offshore area did not have a fishing moratorium like modern salvage. The navy's first attempt at fishing was good.

The Supreme Emperor, "The fish bone meal you mentioned is very good."

He had already eaten the grilled fish bones made by the Royal Kitchen. Not to mention that they tasted really good, but unfortunately he was old and had bad teeth.
