Chapter 696
The bandit leader was arrested and the turmoil gradually subsided. The next step was to carry out disaster relief according to the court's disaster relief plan.
On the day the leader of the riot army was arrested, Jizhou began to distribute disaster relief food, which was a day when sweet rain fell from heaven.
Countless people knelt in the rain and shouted long live in the direction of the capital.
The heavy rains for three consecutive days greatly alleviated the drought in Jiangnan.
Jizhou is not only a severely affected area of turmoil, but also a severely affected area of drought. Even if Ye Shen personally sat in the battle, it still took him five days to distribute the disaster relief grain.
Logically, at this time, Ye Shen was able to return to Beijing after he succeeded.
In fact, it cannot!
Because almost all the main officials of the Jizhou Prefecture Prefecture Office were killed in this turmoil, before the court sent officials to replace him, Ye Shen had to stay and temporarily replace the Jizhou Prefecture Office to carry out all the affairs of the Yamen.
The imperial court had limited food for disaster relief. To solve a series of problems caused by drought, the first thing to do is to organize the people to invest in self-rescue.
The fertile fields in Jizhou are generally planted with two seasons of rice, and harvest one season in summer and harvest one season in autumn.
Because the summer harvest is almost pelletless, even if there are some fertile fields and some harvests, they are still robbed or ruined by the rioters.
Since the riots have been defeated, the drought has been alleviated because of God's eyes. Some people who fled abroad received news that the imperial envoy sent to provide disaster relief by the court, and they returned to their hometowns and devoted themselves to the tense resumption of production.
But it is a luxury to want to harvest another season of rice during this season. After all, it is almost mid-August, so I can only find some mixed grains suitable for planting this season for sowing.
Fortunately, when he was sent to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, Ye Shen took this issue into consideration and specially selected some seeds that were barely suitable for planting this season, including autumn soybeans, autumn corn and some rapeseed.
Therefore, the disaster relief grains from the imperial court to the five prefectures in Jiangnan included various crop seeds that were more suitable for planting in this season.
Ye Shen's life returned to the state where he brought the people to post-disaster reconstruction and resume production in Shu. Except for the official duties that he had to handle in the yamen, it was difficult to find him in the yamen at other times. He inspected the fields almost every day, and even went to the fields to work with the people in person.
Ye Shen's leadership greatly inspired the victims' confidence in resuming production.
When officials appointed by the court finally arrived in Jizhou in September, they saw a thriving Jizhou.
After the handover, Ye Shen was finally able to set off for the trip back to Beijing. Although he was so heartbroken, he still took the time to take him under the escort of the forest to the winery.
At this time, Qi Jun, Lin Da and others led the fruit farmers to repair the orchard. Although less than 20% of the fruit trees survived, there was no sign of the mess when the bandits just retreated.
The mottled marks left on the exterior walls and doors of the winery can be seen how intense the bandits besieged the winery were.
"Thank you all for your hard work!" Looking at Qi Jun and Ten Lins, Ye Shen was so excited that he couldn't speak. The person who was still good at speaking on weekdays only said this in the end.
The eleven people in front of him were all black and thin. Fortunately, except for Lin Shi's shoulder being chopped by the bandit, even if the others were injured, they were only physically injured. After a month of rest, the injuries on Lin Shi's shoulder were no longer a big deal.
There were four forests in Jiangnan with Qi Jun, and eight forests in Jiangnan with Ye Shen, and there were twelve forests in Jiangnan.
However, after he captured the leader of the chaos army in cooperation with the Zhennan Army, Lin Wu and Lin Ba followed Ye Shen's arrangement with the Zhennan Army, the leader of the chaos army, to return to the capital to report the news.
According to Ye Shen's intention, Jiangnan had settled down, so Qi Jun and others should hand over the affairs here to the manager and return to the capital.
But Qi Jun was worried and insisted on staying to preside over the cleaning of the orchard and the storage of the winery that was not completed due to bandits.
Since Qi Jun was going to stay and preside over the work of the orchard and winery, the four Lins who were arranged by Lin Wan to protect Qi Jun's safety naturally could not leave Qi Jun and return to the capital first, so they also stayed.
Lin Da and the others did not leave, and Ye Shen could not go back to the capital for a while. Lin Qi and Lin Jiu and the others naturally could not return to the capital first. So Lin Dashou re-arranged the ten forests still in Jizhou City.
Although the turmoil in Jiangnan was basically pacified, it is difficult to protect some chaotic troops hidden deep in the dark. For Ye Shen's safety, they had been protecting Lin Jiu, Lin Liu and Lin Qi who had been by Ye Shen's side to protect Ye Shen's safety. Lin Shiliu, who was good at hiding, and Lin Shier who was kindly disguised, went from the open to the dark, and joined forces with His Majesty's secret guard to ensure Ye Shen's safety.
Ye Shen initially disagreed with Lin Da's arrangement. After experiencing two assassinations and relying on the secret guards who were hiding in the dark and Lin Shiliu to survive from death, he had to admire Lin Da's foresight.
Now Ye Shen’s mission in Jizhou has been completed, and the orchard that should be cleaned has been cleaned up. The only little wine in the winery this year has been completely stored in the wine cellar. Even the cellar wines that need to go to the capital city have been loaded into the truck. The subsequent work should be arranged and explained. It is time for everyone to return to the capital city.
Although Ye Shen sent a letter of peace to the capital when he received the news from Qi Jun and the others, his relatives in the capital must be worried about their safety before they returned to the capital.
"Everyone prepare, let's set off on time tomorrow morning and return to Beijing." He looked around and patted Qi Jun on the shoulder and said.
"Okay!" Qi Jun did not refuse again this time and responded neatly.
Qi Jun, Lin Da and others have been to Jiangnan since early May and have been away from the capital for more than four months. When they are busy, they don’t feel that once they are free, they will think of their relatives far away in the capital.
Is my father healthy? Is my stepmother and Qi You's wife and Chuncao together? I don't know if Chuncao will be bullied and wronged after he has not been in the capital for so long? I don't know if Qi Ji's little bitch is still obedient? By the way, I don't know if Qi Ce's college examination has passed...
But thinking about Chuncao's versatile temperament, she is protected by Lin Wan, whether it is a stepmother, sister-in-law, or even outsiders, not many people can bully Chuncao.
It’s just that Chuncao alone has to take care of Yunshang’s shop and also has to take care of the food and clothing of the old snacks in the family. It’s certain to work hard.
When you return to the capital, you must make good compensation.
Qi Jun touched the purse that had been in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.
In his purse, there was a plum blossom golden hairpin he bought for Chuncao. He bought it in the largest gold shop in Yuezhou on his way to Jizhou. It is said to be the latest style this year, and there is only one plum blossom hairpin like Dayu.
Although Qi Jun was not sure whether this uniqueness was true or not, he met this plum blossom hairpin at a glance. He thought it was very suitable for spring grass, so he bought it without even paying back the price. The store gave him a pair of plum blossom earrings that were very suitable for the plum blossom hairpin.
The hairpin and earrings were held in his purse and held it in his arms every day. When he remembered the spring grass, he couldn't help but touch it.
Lin Wanchuncao and twelve Lin Lin's family members are indeed worried.
Although Ye Shen was only going to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, as more and more refugees came from Jiangnan to the capital, there were more and more information about Jiangnan. Even though he knew that the Zhennan Army was escorting food, his fear and fear continued to spread among these families.
Especially after losing contact with Qi Jun, Lin Da and others, Lin Wan was anxious.
These people are all because of the Ye family, and she went to Jiangnan because of her. No matter who is in danger, Lin Wan feels that she cannot explain to her family. However, she cannot urge Ye Shen to increase Ye Shen's burden, and she becomes insomnia when she is impatient.
Looking at Lin Wan's obvious dark circles and blisters on her mouth, Wu was so anxious.
To be honest, since Ye Shen went to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, Wu began to pay attention to news about Jiangnan. These days, I have heard a lot of news about Jiangnan. Every news made her frightened, but she didn't dare to let Lin Wan know. She could only force her to smile during the day, and she couldn't help crying in front of Ye Damin at night.
"Those are just rumors that are spread randomly outside. Even if they are true, you must not mention them in front of Wanwan. We Wanwan are really pregnant!" Ye Damin sighed deeply in his heart.
When he was walking outside, he heard more news than Wu, so he naturally understood better than Wu. Of course, he was also very worried about Ye Shen who went to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, and he was also very panicked!
But as the head of the family, he had to hold on, especially during the period when Ye Shen was not in the capital, he had to hold on even more.
Speaking of Lin Wan, Wu wiped his tears and said, "How dare I ask these things in front of Wanwan? I am worried that I can't hide anything from Wanwan. Haven't you seen Wanwan's dark circles get heavier these days?!"
Ye Damin patted Wu's hand and was slightly surprised and said, "What's wrong with Wanwan?"
"I asked Madam Zhang, saying that she had been sleeping soundly for several days. Maybe it was because she hadn't received any news from Brother Jun and the others in a few days!" Wu sighed long.
Ye Damin suddenly became anxious: "How could Wanwan know that there was no news about Brother Jun for many days? Didn't you tell me that you should pay attention and don't let someone go to Wanwan recently!"
Ye Damin's words made Wu feel aggrieved. Lin Wan has always been smart in her ears and eyes. How could she stop it?
As soon as he said that, Ye Damin felt that it was inappropriate. Not to mention Wu, even if he often walked outside, he was afraid that there would be no news about Lin Wan that came quickly and much, so he couldn't help but sigh.
If a daughter-in-law cannot be smart, it is inevitable that she will have all kinds of worries. However, if a daughter-in-law is too capable and too smart, she will also have all kinds of worries.
"You should persuade Wanwan more, so that she can relax and not worry. Whether it is Brother Shen or Brother Jun, they will come back safely! Otherwise, send a letter to Zhennan Hou Mansion and let the in-laws come over to talk to Wanwan." Ye Damin suppressed his worries and tried his best to calm Wu's emotions. After thinking about it, he gave Wu a suggestion.
The next day, Wu asked Miss Zhao to send a message to Cai to Zhennan Hou Mansion.
On that day, Luo brought some warm medicinal herbs to Moxiang Street to visit Lin Wan.
When Luo saw Lin Wan, he looked up and down, stared at Lin Wan's dark circles and sighed long: "If you do this, your grandmother should feel sorry for you! Your grandmother asked me to tell you..."
Today, Cai was going to come in person, but he was not completely cured after being exposed to some wind a few days ago. He was afraid that he would give up after getting sick, so he had to give up, but asked Luo to bring a basket of words to Lin Wan.
Cai has always been kind to Lin Wan, and Lin Wan is indescribable to her grandmother when she is worried from time to time.
Luo has made considerable progress over the years. Whether she is willing to treat her daughter or daughter-in-law, she can basically treat her with equal weight. Even Lin Na, who has always been disgusted with her, can also treat her calmly. Gradually, Lin Wan has a good face to treat her. At least she has changed her name to Luo without realizing it, and has changed from an alienated "mother" to a close "mother".
After hearing Luo's words, Lin Wanying smiled and said, "I worry my grandmother and mother. Wanwan just keeps cramps in her calf and disturbs her sleep. Please tell her grandmother after she goes back, asking her grandmother to take good care of her own body, don't worry about Wanwan."
At this time, Lin Yuan also came with her son who was less than two years old.
Naturally, Lin Yuan came to visit Lin Wan because she got the news and brought Lin Wan a small porcelain bottle of bamboo salt: "I heard that my sister has suffered from insomnia recently, so I brought some bamboo salt to my sister. It is said that drinking a cup of light bamboo salt water on an empty stomach every morning can effectively promote human sleep."
Lin Wan has naturally heard of bamboo salt, which has been quite popular in the circle of ladies in the capital in recent years.
Lin Wan is certainly not sure if it can really help sleep as well as the legendary one.
However, this bamboo salt is hard to come by.
It is said that the substance extracted from sun-dried salt is filled into the triennial nanmu bamboo, with natural loess at both ends sealed with pine trees as fuel, and extracted after high temperature calcination.

"Yuan'er is intent!" Lin Wan thanked Lin Yuan first, took out a handkerchief to wipe the saliva of the child in Lin Yuan's arms.
Mrs. Luo took the child from Lin Yuan's arms and angrily said, "Look at you, this child was taken by you!"
"Mom, Baoer is only over one year old, it's normal for drooling. Don't blame Yuan'er." Lin Wan knew that Luo's loves to be clean, and she couldn't stand this way, so she couldn't help but smile to defend Lin Yuan.
"That's right, mom just loves to be particular! My Baoer is not the kind of saliva because of being stupid, but she can't control herself!" Lin Yuan raised her chin to Luo, then ignored Luo, reached out and touched Lin Wan's high bulge and sighed: "Sister's belly is really long! It's much bigger than the last time she saw it, it must be very hard!"
Lin Wan's belly was only slightly larger in the middle of pregnancy than when she was pregnant, so no one cared too much.
The fifth day when Ye Shen left the capital and went to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief was the day when Dr. Chen came to Xiangjie once a month to take Lin Wan's pulse.
After repeated pulse checks by Dr. Chen, he realized that he was pregnant with twins this time, which was really shocking, joyful and worrying.
After all, Lin Wan is considered an elderly maternal woman in this era!
However, Lin Wan herself was very calm and even asked everyone to hide the news and did not report it to Ye Shen, for fear that Ye Shen would return to Beijing to do a job after receiving the news.
