During this period, Zhao Ruiyun came very late every day, and he came and went in a hurry.
Xiao Yao looked very tired when he looked at him, and asked him several times if he was in trouble, but he always diverted from him.
Xiao Yao and Xiao Cui both felt that something was wrong, and after finishing the work at hand, Xiao Yao found an opportunity to keep Zhao Ruiyun's personal servant Rongxi.
Wanted to learn from him.
"Rongxi, you follow your prince all day long, do you know what is happening to the disaster in the south?"
Xiao Yao asked casually "Back to the princess, I heard from the prince and the ministers of the court that the disaster was very serious, many fields and villages in the south were submerged, the people along the coast ran to the city to beg, the city was full of displaced people, the law and order was very chaotic, there were often thefts and looting, the plague also began to spread, and the people were panicked.
Drought has recently occurred in the southwestern provinces, and most of the crops have died of drought.
There was a famine everywhere, and they sent people to eat people.
Rong Xi said worriedly Xiao Yao was taken aback, she didn't expect the disaster to be so serious, it seemed that Zhao Ruiyun was in trouble at work as she guessed.
In ancient times, transportation and information were very backward, and the news came for the first time for ten days and eight days, and it was in the hands of the government, and the people often got the news many days later than the government.
Aren't you all preoccupied with your own business?
"Didn't the emperor allocate disaster relief funds and food for disaster relief?
Didn't your prince prepare food for the disaster area all day long, how could it be to the point of cannibalism?
Xiao Yao asked strangely "I heard the prince say that last year's war consumed most of the money and grain in the national treasury, and the previous flood in the south, the disaster relief has almost emptied the national treasury, and now the drought in the southwest really can't come up with any money, and even the ministers of the DPRK and the central government have to suspend the distribution.
Recently, the prince has been borrowing money and food and running into walls everywhere, and he can't eat well and sleep well.
Rong Xi replied with a sad face Xiao Yao secretly thought about it after hearing this, and said to Rong Xi: "You immediately find your prince now, and say that I have something important to discuss with him." ” Rongxi agreed and left quickly.
Xiao Yao immediately wrote two envelopes and asked Xiao Cui to send someone to send them to Qiusheng and Steward Liu of the manor as soon as possible.
Xiao Yao decided to give a love to the victims.
In her previous life, whether it was a flood or drought or the Wenchuan earthquake, as a poor student, she did not hesitate to donate her New Year's money and pocket money to the disaster area every time.
What's more, Zhao Ruiyun is in charge of raising food and fundraising, and taking the lead in donating can be regarded as a little help for him.
She had to find a way to scavenge a large sum of money from the guy who made Zhao Ruiyun hit a wall.
Soon Zhao Ruiyun came in a hurry, these emperors came to him every day to discuss the matter of disaster relief food, and the remnants of the eldest prince and the third prince had jumped out to spread rumors, saying that the current emperor was immoral and incompetent, and God wanted to overthrow him, so that floods and droughts appeared in a large area, and the people suffered on behalf of the emperor.
Only when he abdicates and the world is owned by virtuous people, can he look at the emperor's red eyes and the big bubbles at the corners of his mouth, and he feels very uncomfortable.
But in all dynasties, there has never been a case of the imperial court borrowing money and grain from officials and merchants.
The officials of the DPRK and China all clenched their money bags and refused to bleed, and the big businessmen in the city cried out for poverty and refused to borrow grain.
He can't just grab it, can he?
I'm really in a hurry, I can't help it.
