Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune
Chapter 151 A mysterious person delivers food, Long Yuan requests to go on an expedition
The emperor, who was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, looked sleepy and said, "It's all these insignificant things every day. I feel annoyed just watching them talk about it."
Xiao Dezi on the side immediately rubbed the emperor's shoulder and said: "Thanks to the emperor's grace, the people can live and work in peace and contentment. It is a good thing to report this non-trivial matter."
"Humph! That's all you can say. Now the drought continues, how can the people live and work in peace? There are refugees running around everywhere."
After saying this, the emperor looked at the memorial in his hand, which was full of trivial matters, and felt a headache.
"What's the point of having these officials? How many of them really care about the people?
It is such an ironic phenomenon that those honest and incorruptible officials simply cannot survive.”
After the man sitting on the dragon throne said this, he slammed the memorial in his hand heavily onto the table.
Just now he heard from his guards that the refugees gathered outside the city wall received rice for unknown reasons last night.
And I heard that every household consumes 5 to 10 kilograms, but when the total number is added together for so many people, it is a huge number.
Even if it is not a famine year and it is a normal year for ordinary people, one acre of good farmland would only yield about 200 kilograms of harvest, and that is with the skin on.
None of the officials under him were able to make proper arrangements for these refugees, and almost all of the memorials submitted to them did not mention these refugees.
At this time, the eunuch outside came up and reported, "Your Majesty, the prince requests to see you."
"Proclaim"
Soon Long Yuan strode in, paid his respects to the emperor, and sat aside.
"Yuan'er, you came at the right time. I heard that a mysterious person outside the city delivered a lot of food to each refugee household last night. What do you think about this?"
Long Yuan heard about this incident in the morning, and according to the descriptions of all the refugees, they did not hear any noise at night.
Even some people who did not sleep at night did not see anyone suspicious. The most important thing was that so much food could be seen at a glance, but no one saw it.
That's what's strange.
It was as if the food that appeared in every household appeared suddenly.
“Replying to Your Majesty, in my opinion, no matter who this person is, he has saved the lives of these ordinary people.
After all, with these food, they can at least survive for a while, and then think of other ways, whether it is finding another job or... it can eventually alleviate the current situation!"
The middle-aged man sitting on the dragon couch stroked his beard and nodded, "Yes, this man doesn't want to show his true face and gave these refugees so much food without asking for anything in return.
Just from this point alone, we can tell that this person has a broad mind, so there is no need to investigate further. "
The guard standing nearby nodded and went out.
"You didn't come here today to talk about this, did you? If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Long Yuan stood up from the stool and knelt directly in front of the emperor.
"As the crown prince of the dynasty, your father should focus on defending the country and not wasting time in this palace."
The emperor was shocked by his son's sudden move. His son had mentioned more than once that he wanted to go to the front line.
Every time I just said it verbally, not as serious as today.
But those barbarians had already started harvesting in the place where the two countries went to war.
They had conquered wave after wave of cities, and the people they had sent out had been defeated over and over again. Now the latest news from the front line was a temporary truce.
He is anxious too!
The reason why those barbarians are now on a truce is mainly because they want to see chaos within the dynasty, and then wait until the time is right to take down the entire dynasty in one fell swoop.
But now all the available people in the court have been used up, and as a crown prince, he naturally cannot go to the front line.
Not only would going there not boost the morale of these soldiers, but it would actually have the opposite effect.
Unless there is no one else available in a country, the prince, the crown prince or even the emperor will be sent to lead the army in person.
The emperor thought a lot in his mind, but it was only a moment later that he saw the little man kneeling below and continued to speak: "I hope that your Majesty will allow me to go to support you..."
Before Long Yuan could finish his words, the emperor immediately interrupted and said, "You are the crown prince of a country and you are young. In my great dynasty, is there no one available? Do I need a child like you to wear armor and go to the garrison?"
"Father, it is precisely because I am the crown prince that I should protect the common people.
I know your father's good intentions and what you are worried about, but which leader has not come out of the bloody storm?"
After he said this, Xiao Dezi, who was standing beside him, was so scared that he dropped the tea bowl in his hand to the ground with a bang.
He knelt down immediately and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
The man on the dragon throne waved his hand and said, "Xiao Dezi, you go down first and wait outside the door."
"Yes." Xiao Dezi walked so fast, for fear that he would hear something he shouldn't hear and be beheaded in the next second.
The emperor is still directly talking about whether the prince should take the throne or not. Isn't this directly saying that if he wants to take the throne, he really can't even think about it.
I don't know whether to say that the prince is young and ignorant, or too frivolous.
The emperor looked at the determined face of the little man kneeling on the ground and nodded with a smile.
"As expected of my son, you have the guts to do so. Sooner or later, you will be in my position. It would be good for you to hone your skills more."
In the end, the emperor agreed to let the prince go to the front line to provide support.
He just asked to set off again after seven days. After all, he had such a good relationship with the little farmer, and it was time to harvest fresh crops after the rain-praying ceremony.
With him as a shrewd man mediating, the people in the old Su family wouldn't be nervous.
After Long Yuan left, the emperor stopped approving memorials and went straight to the queen's palace.
The Queen has to do more counseling here, otherwise what will happen after this troublesome son of hers leaves?
I’m afraid I can’t even enter the Queen’s bedroom.
After Long Yuan returned to the palace, he began to count some of the grain reserves in his palace, as well as the silver he earned from his own business.
Before leaving, of course all of these had to be exchanged for food and fodder. Food and fodder were in short supply there, and they basically had to rely on several nearby states to squeeze some food and fodder out of the people.
……
The Su family factory was completely back on track. The factory no longer needed Su Muyao to visit from time to time.
I have a lot of free time now, but my father has suffered a little.
Today, after dinner, everyone was about to go about their own business, but Old Lady Su slapped the table and said, "Don't be busy yet, I have something to say."
The whole family quickly sat back in their seats.
"Everyone has been living their own lives before, but the money in this public house has not been divided yet, so now that everyone is here, let's divide this house completely."
When the brothers heard this, they became anxious. They stood up and were about to speak when they were interrupted by Old Man Su.
"Everyone, sit down and listen to your mother continue to talk about how old you are."
The few of them had no choice but to sit down again.
"I've said before that a big tree has many branches and many families. Now the kids in each of your families are all getting old. It's great for the family to be able to support several children to go to school.
Look around at other villages like ours where all the children can afford to go to school and have enough food to eat, all thanks to the good baby in the third brother's family."
