Fang Xuanling got up in the morning and found that the weather was much cooler.
With a shudder, he asked his wife to turn out his coat for him.
"Where did I put that coat, it was the one Wen Yuan gave me last year, mink."
The family had just moved from Chang'an, and many things were still packed in boxes and had not been taken out.
Mrs.
Fang asked, "Don't you want to stay on Yuliang Island, and you don't go hunting, what kind of mink coat do you want?"
” "It's cold."
"It's not cold now, at least it's much warmer here than Chang'an, you see that the kang hasn't burned yet.
You just don't want to eat, you are busy until midnight every day, and people have lost a lot of weight.
It can't go on like this, eat more.
I will go to Li Xiang's house to meet Mrs.
Li later today, his family has a lot of property in Xiangyang, and it is said that he also raises dairy milk sheep, I will see if I can ask Mrs.
Li for a few cows or dairy sheep, and then get you some fresh milk every morning. ” Since Fang Xuanling was promoted to the left servant of Shangshu, he has become the prime minister of the imperial court, and he manages all kinds of affairs every day.
Often busy until midnight, coupled with the current famine, he said that the people are hard to eat, unwilling to eat big fish and meat, the daily diet is light, and the meat is less, this person looks at the weight loss.
When she took off her clothes at night, she couldn't see a few taels of meat on her body, and Mrs.
Fang was distressed.
"Forget it, I'm not used to drinking fresh milk."
"You have to drink it if you are not used to it, usually you are reluctant to brew the milk powder at home, I know, you often take the food at home to the next people, let them take it home.
But you have to take care of yourself."
"I know, I gave Aunt Wang a packet of milk powder yesterday, that's because her daughter-in-law just gave birth to a child, and there is nothing nutritious at home, I gave her milk powder, Aunt Wang is the old man in our family, and his daughter-in-law is also the girl who went out of our family."
"I know this, but I have no objection to you taking care of them, but you have to take care of yourself.
You are the prime minister, can't you get any food I know, you don't want to mess around, but Wenyuan's family has food.
There is no shortage of these in his family, rice, flour, sugar, oil, milk powder, and dried meat, these are a lot of his family, and we don't reach out for nothing, ask him to borrow some, and it will be in the future.
I said you're just too rigid.
When Mrs.
Fang said this, she was a little angry.
The Fang family is not as big as the Li family, although her husband is the prime minister, but the family does not have much property.
Or follow the Li family to invest some capital and follow to be a shareholder, and there will be a lot of income every year.
Now that there is a famine, her husband is as bold as Li Chao, and he donates 10,000 stone of grain at every turn.
As a result, now, all the food in the family has been donated.
Even the rations are still received from the imperial court every month, and there is really no one like this.
"Madam, you don't have to worry too much, I'm just a little thinner, and it's not that I don't have anything to eat.
We have three meals a day, breakfast, sometimes supper, and tea snacks, what's wrong.
The people outside are still starving, you know, now the imperial court has ordered to lower the ration standard of relief food, a Ding man, only 20 catties of food a month, women and children are even less.
Where to eat that little food, it all depends on digging wild vegetables outside to cook vegetable porridge, but when the weather is cold, wild vegetables can also be found.
You can only add water to cook porridge, gruel, and drink a big pot, but it's just a full of water. ” Mrs.
Fang was a little angry when she heard this.
"It's always like this in the world, is there a person in the world who can't eat enough, and you have to be hungry, what is the reason why you are the prime minister, you should take care of your health, so that you can better handle military affairs, prevent disasters and save the people."
"Look at Li Xiang, he is also the prime minister, but he will not be as rigid as you.
If you are worried about the victims, just keep it in your heart.
You have to eat when you have to eat, you have to drink what you have to drink. ” Speaking of Li Chao, Fang Xuanling could only smile, he really couldn't compare with Li Chao.
Li Chao, in the year of the catastrophe, others ate bran vegetables, but the Li family's life was extremely comfortable, and they even still ate a meal.
There are dairy milk sheep at home, and there is fresh cow and goat milk to drink every day.
Chicken, duck and fish, that is never lacking.
In the winter, his family actually built a greenhouse in the backyard and planted winter vegetables.

What cucumber, cabbage, rape, gourd, eggplant, I heard is a shed made of a special silk cloth, so that the vegetables can not only keep warm but also bask in the sun, and can also grow summer fruits and vegetables in winter.
He also dug several deep wells, brought water to irrigate his vegetable garden every day, and had fresh fruits and vegetables to eat every day in winter.
The price of food in the black market outside is getting higher and higher, and food is extremely expensive.
But the Li family kept so many servants and slaves, but they didn't let any of them go, because his family had food.
His servants and slaves were fed, and they did not need to receive relief food at all.
I heard that the grain distributed by the servants of the Li family was still fine grain, and the quantity was more than the ration of relief grain.
Many slaves of the Li family often took fine grain to the black market to exchange for relief grain, so that a small amount of grain could be exchanged for relief food with enough rations, and then the extra fine grain was exchanged for money, which was also a small fortune.
Now the servants of the Li family are extremely enviable in Xiangyang City, and many people want to marry their daughters to the servants of the Li family.
Especially those who have been exempted by the Li family, have free bodies, and are now regarded as servants hired by the Li family, and a lot of people are vying to marry their daughters.
The conditions are also very low, and there is no bride price.
All you need is two buckets of rice, or one stone of relief grain.
Other people's families eat porridge and vegetables, and the Li family not only has big fish and meat, but even the servants eat fragrant and spicy food every day, which makes people envious and jealous.
Fang Xuanling and the others also persuaded Li Chao to keep a low profile, but Li Chao didn't listen.
Li Chao's words said that the grain he bought and donated to the imperial court were among the best.
There is still some food at home, and it is okay to eat better for yourself, and there is no problem in feeding your own slaves.
As for them taking these fine grains to exchange for coarse grains to eat, and then exchanging the excess grain for money, or even to marry a wife or a daughter-in-law for their son, Li Chao can't care about it, and he doesn't want to care about it, even if it is a little benefit given by the Li family to the servants.
Anyway, he, Li Chao, did not embezzle a grain of grain from the official family, and the grain that should have been bought was also handed over, and he also donated a lot if he did not ask for it and bought it.
It can't be because there are still people in the world who can't eat enough, so he Li Chao can't eat enough This is the difference in values between Fang Xuanling and Li Chao, for Fang Xuanling, watching the famine in the world, how can he still think about eating well, it would be good to eat three meals a day, it was too good, he couldn't bear to eat it in his heart.
But for Li Chao, there is a difference between the rich and the poor at any time, even if it is a peaceful age in the prosperous era, there are beggars, is it necessary not to go too far into egalitarianism, just be not greedy or dirty, and there is no need to force the rest too much. t1706231537:
