Chapter 915: The Landlord Has No Surplus Food

The servant of Prime Minister Su at the door brought the letter in. Prime Minister Su opened it and read it on the spot, and nodded. He also read medical books in his spare time. There are detailed records of drinking water in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is exactly the same as what Gu Fei said.

He showed the letter to King Qi again.

King Qi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect his daughter-in-law to know this. "Very good, what you just said, plus the content of the letter from the Crown Princess, do it as soon as possible, and don't let the plague get out."

After the letter was sent, Gu Fei felt relieved.

She asked Lian'er to arrange a car again, and she wanted to go back to her parents' home.

Lian'er went and came back, "Crown Princess, the manager said that there are not many horses in the mansion, and the carriage can't be used at this time."

Gu Fei thought about it, "Then let's walk."

Taking Qin'er and Lian'er, Gu Fei went out.

After leaving the palace and walking to the street, the shops on both sides of the street and the walls were neatly marked with a watermark.

There was still silt in many places on the street.

After crossing three streets, we arrived at my mother's house.

Chen got the news and ran out in a hurry to support Gu Fei, "I told you not to come. There's nothing wrong at home. You're running around with a big belly. What if you get a miscarriage?"

Gu Fei walked in slowly, "Where are your father and elder brother?"

Chen sighed, "Your father, elder brother, and your uncle have all gone to the countryside. More than half of our 2,000 acres of land are planted with millet. It's all over now."

"We have to appease those tenants and tell them that we won't collect rent this year."

"You don't know, some of the millet in the field has sprouted Some of them have been soaked and have a sour smell. "

"Even so, we have to hurry up and harvest them to see if there is anything edible after drying them."

"Those tenants were waiting for the rice to be cooked, and now they are all ruined."

"When your father and your eldest brother went to the countryside, they were surrounded by tenants and asked to borrow money. They were both soft-hearted and lent money because they saw that the tenants were pitiful. This year, they couldn't collect the rent, but they lent out a lot. "

"I don't know if I can pay it back by the end of the year."

Gu Fei couldn't help but think of a sentence, the landlord's family didn't have any surplus food.

The family probably had to buy food soon. The food she harvested that day could only last for a month at most.

Chen muttered, "If I had known that I would have planted all peppers, I would have harvested and sold my peppers long ago."

Gu Fei walked in and sat down, comforting her mother, "It's okay, we can plant another season of rice after the water recedes."

Chen nodded, "That's right, this is the good thing about Jiangnan, you can harvest two seasons of rice a year, it's not easy for people to starve."

"However, Aunt Wu went to the street to buy vegetables yesterday, saying that the price of vegetables has risen, but not much."

"By the way, the government office is distributing grain, anyone who wants to get it can go and get it, but the grain is soaked in water."

"Many people took it back and spread it out in the yard to dry."

Li Chunhua next to him added, "I heard that the soaked rice tastes tasteless."

Chen sighed, "Who cares about the taste, as long as it can be stuffed into the stomach and not starve to death."

Gu Fei laughed, the King of Qi's move is good, at least for a while, no victims will starve.

Now that many places have been conquered, only two counties have been affected by the disaster. Grain can be transferred from other places, so it is not too serious.

Seeing that everything was in order at her mother's house, Gu Fei felt relieved and stood up to go back. Chen accompanied her all the way and sent her to the gate of the palace, and then she turned around.

On the way, she repeatedly reminded her not to run around, and when she was about to give birth, she asked someone to send her a message, and she and Lanzhi went to the palace to guard it, because she was worried.
