The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 916

[Chapter 916 Floods (1)]

The five hundred and ninetieth chapter floods (1)

Xu Wu brought good news to Yuxi: “Princess, the batch of grain we purchased from Jiangnan has already arrived in Shiyan, and will arrive in the northwest in a few days.”

It only takes half a tael of silver and one stone to buy food in Jiangnan. To buy grain from Han Yuxi, it cost two taels and one stone. He Zhizhang is not stupid, how could he do this business. He Zhizhang wanted to detain this batch of food, but Yun Qing dispatched 50,000 elite soldiers to the junction, posing as if He Zhizhang would send troops if he dared to swallow his food. He Zhizhang was timid and fearful, so he naturally let the food pass through the border.

Yu Xin said: “Flying pigeons send a message to let them pass through Hubei as soon as possible, and things will change later.” Once the floods occurred in Jiangnan, He Zhizhang was timid, and he would swallow this batch of food. Therefore, this batch of grain must be transported to the northwest as soon as possible.

Although Yun Qing was posing for a battle, Yu Xi was not willing to fight at this time. As long as the food passes through Hubei and reaches the northwest boundary, there is no need to worry.

Xu Wu nodded and said, “Okay.”

Yun Qing walked into the study with a tired face, and discussed something with Yuxi: “Yuxi, the palace has plenty of water. I want to pump out the water from the two wells in the back garden and distribute it to the people to drink.” Ingenious, the back garden that mouth of the lake spent a lot of money to attract the dark water. Although the Heihe, Bahe, and Fenghe rivers are almost dry now, the Pingxi Palace has no worries about water use for the time being. Especially the two wells near the back garden, only one is enough for hundreds of people in the entire palace to drink.

Oak Xi was silent and said, “Right now we don’t know when the drought will end. If there is no water available to the palace by then, do you know the consequences?” The idea was good, but it was too dangerous.

Yun Qing said, “Yuxi, it’s late August now, and it will definitely rain in September. As long as it lasts more than half a month, it will be fine.” He was a little sad.

Yuxi was not so optimistic, and said, “Have you ever thought about it, if it doesn’t rain in September and the water in the palace is drained, what will happen then? Do the guards of the palace go to find water for us every day? If the palace has to run around for water, what do you want the people below to think? It will inevitably cause panic at that time.”

Yun Qing was silent for a while and said, “I didn’t think it fully. I won’t mention it again in the future.”

Oak-hee was also very uncomfortable, and said with a bitter face, “I also hope that it will rain soon, but we must also prepare for the worst. Only in this way can the damage be minimized.”

Yun Qing nodded and didn’t say anything about it.

Yuxi was very surprised by this, and immediately called Xu Wu over and said, “Go check it out, who suggested that the prince should open up the water in the back garden to the common people?” Yun Qing would not say this for no reason. .

Xu Wu was taken aback and asked, “Your Highness will open the two wells in the back garden? When is this going to happen?” Hearing that it was in the morning, Xu Wu frowned and said, “Don’t worry, Princess, I will. Find out as soon as possible.”

Yuxi said, “I think the person who gave this advice has bad intentions, so I must find out this person.” Yuxi was not a cruel person either, and if she could, she would naturally be willing to release these two wells for the common people. But reality does not allow it. If the two wells are released, if there is another month or two of drought, the consequences will be very serious. Even if it’s not for herself, she doesn’t dare to take risks for the sake of a few children.

Xu Wu nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Princess, I will definitely find out this person.” With only a few people left and right, it is very easy to find out.

It didn’t take an hour for Xu Wu to find out that it was Gao Song who suggested this to Yun Qing.

Xu Wu didn’t confront Gao Song, but just reported the fact to Oak Xi: “It’s been confirmed, it’s Gao Song.” If he didn’t think it was wrong, he wouldn’t tell Oak Xi about it.

Yuxi looked very bad and said, “Don’t he know that this is an extraordinary period, so he dares to make such a suggestion?” If she could let go of the two wells in the back garden and wait for Gao Song to speak, she would have done so long ago. .

Xu Wu was silent for a while and said: “Tao Song may have seen that the people outside are really difficult, that’s why…” He couldn’t say anything after that. When Gao Song did this, it seemed that he only cared about the life and death of the people, and everyone else was a hard-hearted person.

Yu Xi thought for a while and said, “Leave this in advance, don’t let the lord know.” Gao Song is Yun Qing’s trusted subordinate, unless he finds a suitable opportunity, he cannot be transferred to Yun Qing’s side.

In the past few years, because of her ruling, some generals under Yun Qing’s command held great hostility towards her. Thinking that she was overpowering the host, robbing Yunqing of both the limelight and glory. It is also because she has been conscientious and dedicated in the past few years, vigorously developing agriculture, and the conditions in the army have also been greatly improved, which made this hostility dissipate a lot. However, there are still a few people who are very dissatisfied with her and always slander her in front of Yun Qing. It wasn’t that Oak Xi didn’t want to deal with these people, but she was afraid that it would affect her whole body, so she kept holding back. But these things have always been in her mind, and when the right opportunity comes, she will make these people pay the price.

Xu Wu nodded and said, “Okay.”

Two days later, news came from Jiangnan that three provinces including Jiangxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu had rained heavily for several days, and many prefectures and counties had been flooded.

After Xu Wu reported the news to Yuxi, he couldn’t help but say to Yuxi, “Princess, it would be great if it rained in our northwest!” It was broken, but as a result, there was still not a drop of rain, but there were heavy rains in Jiangnan and other places. It feels like God is deliberately playing tricks!

Yuxi looked very ugly, and said, “I’m worried that there will be a flood in Jiangnan.” Not worried, but there will definitely be a flood. The dams that the imperial court spent so much money building were all piled up with scraps and other wastes. A few days ago, the weather was good, so there was no accident. Now, when the flood comes, the dam will collapse.

Xu Wu’s face turned pale, and he said, “It’s only three days of heavy rain, so there won’t be a flood, right?” Jiangnan is a major grain-producing area.

Oak-hee said, “Prepare for the worst!”

Xu Wu knew that Yuxi would not say these words for no reason, and since he opened his mouth, he must have some confidence. Xu Wu immediately said sternly: “Princess, you must immediately give Xu Zhen Feige an order to send troops to pick up the batch of food.”

Yu Xi asked, “According to speculation, how many days will this batch of grain reach the Northwest Territory?” Hearing that there were about six days left, Yu Xi nodded and said, “When the prince returns, I will let him order.” Troubles in the Army Oak-hee would intervene, but Oak-hee didn’t bother about dispatching troops. One is that she doesn’t understand war, and the other is to avoid suspicion.

Han Jianming dragged his tired body back home. During this time, all the officials were busy. After finally coming back, I wanted to rest and rest, but was disturbed by Ye Shi.

Ye Shi said to Han Jianming with red eyes, “Master, Tingting is about to die, I want to take her back for treatment.” When Zhong got the news that her youngest daughter was about to die, Ye Shi started to cry. She wanted to send someone to pick up the child back home, but Han Gao refused when she got the news.

Han Jianming quickly reacted and asked, “When did you find the child?”

Ye Shi didn’t dare to hide from Han Jianming, and said, “I found it at the end of last year. Master, I beg you, bring the child back!”

Han Jianming said with a cold face, “Could it be that what I said to you at the time was taken on your ears? Or, do you think my words can be changed overnight?” Since he said that he could not recognize the child, he would not let the child Enter the door. What’s more, this so-called Tingting is still a fake.

Ye Shi cried and said, “Master, Tingting is our daughter, she is going to die now…”

Han Jianming had completely lost patience with him and said, “If you want to take care of her, then leave the Han residence!” He was already tired of the things outside, and he really didn’t want to worry about the things at home. Moreover, if Ye Shi’s thoughts are not cut off, it will be endless in the future.

These words were like a bolt from the blue for Ye Shi. After a while, Mr. Ye asked with a pale face, “Master, you, are you going to leave me?”

From the moment when Mrs. Ye decided to give birth to the child, Han Jianming had a knot in his heart: ” Mrs. Ye, as long as you have my husband in your heart, you will not put me in a dilemma. I’ve put up with you once in a few years, but never again.”

Ye Shi didn’t even know how he got the yard.

Mrs. Lu said carefully: “Madam, the lord doesn’t make sense here. Let’s go and ask the princess. The princess is a bodhisattva, and she will definitely not watch her own niece die.” Mrs. Lu didn’t know that Ye Shi had already lost her life because of the childbirth. Dispute arose.

When Ye Shi heard this, she said to herself, “No, she won’t care.”

Mrs. Lu asked, “Madam, what did you say?” Mrs. Ye’s voice was too low just now, Mrs. Lu didn’t hear what Mrs. Ye was saying.

Ye Shi shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, you go! I want to be quiet.” She didn’t dislike her husband when she couldn’t have another child, and still respected her. Now she said that she was going to break up with her, which made Ye shi very sad.

The next day, all of Ye’s wife and maids were sent out of the Han residence, including Mrs. Lu. The reason for being sent away is very simple. The master does something wrong and does not know how to persuade him. Such a servant cannot stay.

Han Jianming’s hand let Ye Shi know that what he said before about her divorce was not to scare her. Therefore, she did not dare to object to Han Jianming’s dismissal of the people around her.

Seeing that Mrs. Ye was honest, Han Jianming instructed Han Gao and said, “Let that child die! Only when the child is dead can the wife be completely relieved.” Although he said yesterday that he was going to suspend Mrs. Ye, it was all to frighten Mrs. Ye. . Ye Shi is already so old, and she has no relatives in the northwest. If she is really divorced, she will be forced to die. Han Jianming is ambitious, but he is not a cold-blooded person.

Han Gao nodded and said, “My subordinates will do it now.”

That night, Mrs Ye got news that Tingting was dead. The child who was born after fighting for his life passed out on the spot.
