Chapter 362 Who came up with this idea
Yun Yi took off the cloak outside, put it aside, and said while roasting the fire: "This day, there is no rain in the summer, but it is better than the snow in previous years after autumn."
The old lady looked out the window: "Fortunately there is a big river from Baishan in this place. I hope next year will be a good year. Otherwise, I am afraid that some families should go hungry."
Jing Rui put the things in place and continued: "We are doing well this winter. At least in the summer, there are water trucks that keep watering in the fields. Although the harvest is not as good as in previous years, we can still pay taxes and have some surplus grains.
Going further a little further, because there is no water source, many of them have reduced production significantly and even lost harvests. With such heavy snow, this year's life is probably difficult."
Yun Yi frowned: "Is there any explanation for the government?"
Jing Rui found a place to sit down: "Because of the big river coming down from Baishan, the villages on both sides also reduced the disaster due to water trucks. The court asked Tongling City to second the official grain."
"What does it mean? It's not distribution, it's borrowing?"
Jing Rui nodded: "Let Tonglingcheng be transferred to a severely affected area. By the end of next autumn, in addition to paying taxed grains, the borrowed grains will be returned. When the seeds are sown next spring, the seeds will be distributed by the government. This is not necessary to be returned. It is considered to be the court's subsidy for the victims."
Yun Yi turned her head and looked at Jing Rui with a smile: "Who came up with this idea?"
Jing Rui touched his nose: "I sent a message back to the capital."
Yun Yi said seriously: "Is it the court unwilling to distribute relief grain?"
Jing Rui shook his head and said, "No, it's news from the capital that the emperor intends to draw grain from Tongling City and the Northern Army Camp. Some things should be prevented in advance. If you borrow, you may not necessarily return them."
After hearing this, Yun Yi realized: "The Emperor is really good at calculating. The northern border has suffered a disaster. If there is no water on Baishan and no water trucks, he will rely on carrying water to irrigate the land. I am afraid he will have to ask the court for food.
Northern Xinjiang has relied on the unity of everyone to solve the problem of food rations, but it also wants to pick food from the soldiers. Who can guarantee that the weather will be good next year? What did the emperor think?”
Jing Rui then smiled faintly and said, "So I sent a letter to the General's Mansion and asked him to find someone to make a comment, and this is how it happened."
Yun Yi nodded: "I'm not confused yet."
Aunt Gu brought in tea and pastries, then retreated, and the people in the room also changed the topic.
Yun Yi smiled and said, "Grandmother, Brother Hao, try this waterless cake. If you like it, I will teach Aunt Gu to let her take the time to make it for you."
The old lady smiled and said, "It smells fragrant."
Brother Hao was also relieved now. Grandmother told him before that it was very difficult for his sister to make money to support the family. If his father is still there, his sister would not have to work so hard. In fact, he was either really angry with his sister, or he missed his sister very much.
He took the cake handed over by his sister, looked up and smiled at her: "Thank you, sister."
The old lady looked at Brother Hao. This little man had figured it out, and she also had a smile in her eyes. She thought to herself: The children in the second wife are all transparent people, and they will have great luck in the future.
The old lady turned to look at Yun Yi: "Have everything done?"
Yun Yi nodded slightly: "Well, everything is on the right track, no need to go through."
After a long time, the old lady asked what she had wanted to ask: "Yier, now she has also left the military household. What are you planning?"
Yun Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Grandma, forget it this year, you and Brother Hao can't stand it because the cold weather is cold. It's already November now, so we can't celebrate the New Year on the road. When the flowers bloom next spring, it's not too late for us to return to Beijing."
