When people get old, they must have the awareness of death. They cannot greedily occupy the opportunity to survive! The old man began to refuse to eat any food and started to drink a sip of water, but he has not even drunk water in the next few days!

The time was almost up, and it was almost done. The old man had hallucinations when he looked outside the window. He even felt that Sunjiazhuang had already started to cook.

"Haha... I'm so stupid... Sunjiazhuang is poorer than ours. How could they survive us!"

"Grandpa and grandma didn't lie to me. When people should leave this world, they will have hallucinations and see all kinds of bizarre things..."

"Haha...How could Sunjiazhuang have food? Who can survive except Sun Laocai?"

"Even if one or two families have some old grains to cook with fire, it is impossible for every family to have bright light? How could the whole village survive..."

"I'm really leaving, I'm really leaving..."

The old man thought he was talking, but in the eyes of his children and grandchildren, the old man just closed his eyes and kept trembling with his lips. He shouted at his son with tears and knew that his father was almost out of reach.

Take out the shrouds that I prepared three years ago, maybe it will be a goodbye tonight!

"Grandpa... grandma... you... why are you here!" The old man who had returned to the scene suddenly spoke, his face also blushed.

The world in front of me has changed, as if I suddenly returned to when I was young sixty or seventy years ago!

The house is still this one, but it is much newer than it is now. The big willow trees outside the yard are blown by the wind, and the midsummer sun is dazzling and warm!

There were chickens and ducks in the yard, lunch on the table, huge white flour buns, and stewed meat and vegetables, and salted duck eggs with oil.

There were huge watermelons in the well water, and the wing room was filled with food! All the golden ones piled up on the roof!

Grandpa and grandma didn't say anything, they just waved to him in the yard, as if asking him to come for dinner. At this moment, it was back to the summer of childhood, and he suddenly felt so hot all over!

"Grandma... wait for me... wait until I come before dinner... I'm hungry... Leave me a big steamed bun..."

"Grand...grandma..."

The house was suddenly panicked, and the children and grandchildren looked at the grandfather on the bed and suddenly spoke nonsense, such as summer, steamed buns, and even called out grandma!

They rushed up and cried bitterly, but the old man could no longer recognize everything, just stared at the lights of Sunjiazhuang!

"Ah... it's so good... Finally... there's no need to suffer anymore..." Suddenly the old man said the last sentence in his life, his head tilted and his son fell into his arms, and his body suddenly became soft.

There was a lot of crying in the room, the children and grandchildren knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the eldest son changed the shrouds for the old man. Although they were mentally prepared, the blow to them was still heavy!

The heavier blow was still behind. I just had to change my shroud and didn't know how to deliver letters to my relatives, but I heard the sound of a broken gong outside.

It was already dark. It was past seven o'clock in the foreigners' hour. How could anyone beat the gong?

Dangdangdang...bangdang...

"The court has an order... to let the landlords and gentry release grain... ten thousand stones of grain exchange for another juren?"

"Sun Laocai from Sunjiazhuang has already started to release... You Liuzhuang is also hurry up! I will exchange food for juren..."

ah……

The people in the room screamed in despair. The old man died before dawn, leaving the people more than ten minutes before the imperial decree arrived.

The sad children cried loudly, "Grandpa... Dad... You gave your life to your grandson... If you eat something, you will survive..."

"Wuwuwu... The court asked the landlords to release food... The disaster has passed... Wake up!"

Every household in Liuzhuang opened the door. They were so hungry that they were already shaking when they walked. They rubbed their eyes and looked at the lights in the distant Sunjiazhuang. It was not until this moment that they realized that none of this was an illusion!

Tragedies like Liuzhuang are not isolated. In the process of spreading disaster relief news, there will always be some people who can't stand the darkness before dawn, and the tragedy on earth has never disappeared!

No matter how difficult the disaster is or how miserable the people are, to be fair, Zaichun, a senior official of the imperial court, has been very appropriate to deal with it!

The first day issued an order, and in just half a day, one-fifth of the disaster areas received news, and the disaster relief work had already begun!

By the next day, the disaster area was not just the maintenance men who were delivering messages. Many people who had eaten enough food also joined in and walked towards villages where there was no news from all directions!

There were also figures of people on the mountain roads that cut off traffic. There were long ruts of dogs pulling sledges on the snowfield. All the villages that received the news were shouting long live the mountains, and more and more villages joined in self-rescue.

In just four days, 90% of the people in the disaster area heard the good news, and the only thing left was the villages that were too remote in Taihang Mountains!

This is also helpless. Even in the winter without natural disasters, people were frozen to death in the north of the Qing Dynasty, let alone such a disaster this year, some deaths are really inevitable.

The feedback from Emperor Tongzhi of the Yangxin Palace in the past few days is all good news. This juren is really a treasure golden lump. Taking it out really makes these landlords work hard!

Ten thousand stones of grain can change the identity of a juren. This opportunity is rare in a century. Even if you feel sorry for it, you have to do it!

The developed telegram network allowed the news to be delivered as fast as possible. On the fifth day, the court notices printed by the Qing Dynasty had been delivered and they began to be posted in the disaster area.

With the announcement from the court and the publicity from the local county government, these landlords and gentry realized that no one lied to them, and the words of these postmen who were maintaining were all true.

What else do the landlords and gentry who let go of their doubts have to say? The court asked them to ensure that the people around them did not starve to death, so just do as they did.

Warehouses of grain were distributed one after another, and the people now found a way out!

The disaster was really under control. After February, the weather began to warm up. It was sunny every day, and the snow began to melt.

If this speed is followed, the plains will be able to pass through every village in mid-February, and in early March, even the mountain roads of the Taihang Mountains will be able to pass through!

As soon as the snow melts, the earth will immediately turn green. At that time, the people who can go out have ten thousand ways to make a living. If they survive until the early summer wheat harvest, the disaster will be completely over.

"Hahaha... It turns out that God bless me, the Qing Dynasty, my luck has not declined yet! Hahaha..."

Zaichun laughed happily at the court meeting. Those officials of the court were not interested? They came up like a tide!

"Your Majesty is wise! The Holy Emperor is helping you!"

"There is good news! A few days ago, due to heavy snow... the stock market fell by 30%! But today it was stimulated by good news from many parties, and this has risen again!"

Chengzhi was excitedly dancing in the Yangxin Palace, but today Emperor Tongzhi did not mean to scold him, but instead nodded with a smile.

"As long as the disaster passes, investors' confidence will certainly recover! It will set a new high in the future! Hahaha... I will give you a prosperous Qing Dynasty!"

At this moment, a little eunuch suddenly ran out from outside and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty... the Chinese head of state called!"
