After the game emperor awakens

Chapter 48 The Jiang Family

The bright sunlight came through the window, Xie Chongjin opened his eyes, and at a glance saw the peaceful sleeping face of the young man in his arms, with messy hair sticking to his cheeks, fresh and charming.

Xie Chongjin stretched out his hand, and brushed off the blue hair on Lu Xuechao's face.

The itchiness of brushing her face with her fingers made Lu Xue furrow her eyebrows, and then she woke up.

He glanced at the sky outside, and immediately sat up: "How long has it been? Isn't the east of the city distributing disaster relief food? I want to take a look..."

As he said, he was about to get out of bed and get dressed.

The blue hair hangs down, covering the crimson hickey on the snow-white back of the neck.

Xie Chongjin held him down: "With the imperial envoys watching, the food will be handed out one by one. What dare those corrupt officials do at this juncture? But you, you wake up thinking about it, but you still have the strength to move around? "

Lu Xue looked at him, her voice was cold, but what she said made people blush: "Why do you have no strength? What kind of bone spirit am I, and when you hit me, my bones will fall apart?"

Xie Chongjin: "..."

Was Xie Chongjin hooked to the bed by Lu Xuechao last night?

But still taking into account that Lu Xue turned towards her body, she would do evil without being in the bath, fearing that she would catch a cold, so she carried her to the couch at last, and didn't dare to put things in it.

Lu Xuechao is not a spirit of white bones, but a goblin with flesh and blood that can really seduce people, making people lose all reason.Xie Chongjin can still consider Lu Xuechao's body in this situation, so it can be said that he is quite restrained.

Lu Xuechao continued to dress, buttoning up the top button.The hanging eyelashes are long and slender, and the side face is flawless. The thin summer clothes outline the slender waist, making her look even weaker.

Xie Chongjin whispered: "Isn't it because I'm afraid that you will fall apart..."

Who saw it and didn't want to protect it.

He watched Lu Xuechao change his clothes, the cold and ascetic white clothes, but he knew how many traces he had left under the white clothes.

Thinking of such a unparalleled beauty as his wife, he felt a kind of excitement like a kid in his heart.

No matter how many years of reincarnation, Xie Chongjin looks at Lu Xuechao, and will always arouse the ardent love of the first love when he was young and the first love.No matter how time wears it down, it will never fade.

He is no longer a teenager, but he will always love him like a teenager.

Lu Xue raised her eyes: "You can't afford it? I can't afford to go to the east of the city alone."

Xie Chongjin quickly grabbed his clothes: "Get up."

There was a long queue in the east of the city, all of them were people waiting to receive relief food, and it seemed that the end could not be seen at a glance.

Looking around, the victims were all in ragged clothes, with yellow and thin faces, and their eyes that had been numb for a long time showed a little light because of the arrival of the imperial envoy.

The imperial court allocated 300 million silver for disaster relief, and at the same time opened warehouses to release grain, strictly investigated local officials, and built water conservancy projects.After the flood, the disease was prevalent, and the people had no money for medical treatment. Several imperial doctors accompanied the disaster relief team to give free consultations at the gate of the city.

The implementation of various measures has given hope to the people living in dire straits.

What is more terrible than natural disasters is the greed of the people, the lack of justice of the king, and the inaction of the court.The setting of the game is absurd, but some aspects are very realistic, such as the lack of local disaster relief, the decline of popular support, and if things go on like this, there will be mob uprisings and killing the king.The country is in turmoil and collapse. Apart from the enemy's foreign aggression, internal worries are the root cause.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

Treating all living beings as ants, even a dike of a thousand miles can collapse in an ant's nest.

So people's livelihood is the top priority.

Standing behind them, Lu Xuechao and Xie Chongjin suddenly smelled the aroma of food coming from the ruined temple.

Anyone have a picnic here?

There is a broken temple in the east of the city, which was originally dedicated to the Dragon King, but it was flooded during the flood. It is true—the Dragon King Temple was flooded by the flood.

Since then, no one has repaired the ruined temple, and without incense, it gradually became a shelter for a group of beggars.

The smell of this chicken is different from that of ordinary fried chicken. Lu Xue became interested and followed the smell. In the ruined temple, a group of unkempt beggars gathered together to make a fire. There was a piece of mud on the fire, and the fragrance came from the mud. Passed out.

The beggars were slobbering, laughing and cursing, "Da Huang, you're stealing chickens and dogs again!"

"What is stealing? We call it stealing from the rich and giving to the poor! Except for Jiang Dashan, who are those profiteers who are not black-hearted? What's wrong with stealing a chicken? It will benefit everyone!"

A few beggars also booed, no real blame.They are about to starve to death, who still pays attention to morality and nobleness, and does not steal or rob?

I saw them take off the mud and peel it off, revealing a well-cooked roast chicken, the skin and flesh were torn apart, the outside was charred and the inside was tender.The beggars were salivating, and quickly divided up the whole chicken, gobbling it up.

While eating, a beggar inadvertently raised his eyes to look at the door, and suddenly said blankly: "Yes, there are people."

The other beggars raised their heads straightly when they heard the words, and swallowed in unison.

I saw a white-clothed young man stepping into the temple, tall and tall, flirtatious, with a gauze curtain hanging down to cover his complexion, one can feel that he is a beautiful beauty without seeing his true face.

The beggars subconsciously looked at the statue of the Dragon King in the temple, wondering if the Dragon King had appeared?

This young man in white doesn't look like a mortal...

Lu Xuechao said politely: "I was attracted by the fragrance in the temple."

Even his voice was as good as a fairy's, and he didn't reveal his arrogance because he was facing a group of beggars.

A beggar immediately broke off a piece of chicken thigh, and raised his hand graciously, and said, "Here...here."

Food is very precious to them, and if they distribute it randomly to others, they will be beaten by others, but no one raised any objections at the moment.

Lu Xuechao's beauty is not skin, but bones.His beauty is alluring, even if he doesn't show his face, his whole body is strong enough to make people willingly give everything.

Lu Xuechao didn't go to pick him up, he was well-clothed and well-fed, why bother to share the beggar's chicken.

The beggar was a little embarrassed, the beauty looked fair and beautiful, but his own hands were too dark and dirty, and the things he held were not worthy of him.

"Does this dish have a name? Can I ask about the recipe?" Lu Xuechao still spoke softly and politely.

He wants to cook, and he has the most complete kitchen cooking utensils for him to use. Beggars do not have kitchen utensils, but they can cook such delicious chicken.This was another method that Lu Xuechao had never seen before.

When the beauties asked questions, the beggars knew everything they wanted to say, and they couldn't stop talking.

They got the chicken, but they had no cooking utensils to pluck the feathers and cook them. Even though they were beggars, they were not so serious as to drink blood, so they thought of a way-wrap the whole chicken in yellow mud and roast it over the fire until the mud dries up. Once peeled, not only the chicken feathers will fall off automatically, but the chicken inside will also be cooked.

"This chicken doesn't have a name, it's just something our brothers figured out on their own. If we eat it, it's called Huaji." The beggar said cheerfully, "But if you eat it, it's called Fugui Chicken."

Lu Xuechao was thoughtful: "Thank you."

He left a gold piece, then turned and left.

The beggars were stunned for a moment, watched him leave, and then scrambled towards the gold. One of them snatched it and bit his mouth: "It's true!"

"This is really meeting a nobleman!"

……

When Lu Xuechao left the temple, Xie Chongjin was waiting outside.

Xie Chongjin said, "Did you ask?"

Lu Xue nodded.

Lu Xuechao forbids Xie Chongjin to follow him into the temple.It's just about asking the chicken, Lu Xuechao's temperament is relatively friendly, so he can easily ask.Xie Chongjin has the majesty and oppression of an emperor, and he is afraid that he will scare the beggars.

Xie Chongjin laughed: "It's really a chef. When I smell it, I ran to ask how to make it..."

"Go back and ask the kitchen to prepare a chicken." Lu Xue said, "I've thought of a new dish."

The last time Huamanlou ate ordinary chicken, Lu Xuechao was thinking of new chicken recipes, and these beggars gave him inspiration.

Xie Chongjin: "I've only been out for half a day, and now I'm going back?"

Lu Xue shook her head.

Right now, she won't be going back to the palace for the time being, after going to the east of the city, Lu Xuechao still wants to go to the west of the city to have a look.

I thought that all the people would go to the east of the city to receive relief food, and the rest of the places would be neglected.Unexpectedly, there were also many people in the west of the city.

And there are still long queues.

Lu Xuechao and Xie Chongjin looked at each other.They remembered that there was no relief point set up in the west of the city.

As he got closer, he heard the discussions of several common people in the team.

"Why are there so few people today?"

"Your news is too late. The imperial court came to provide disaster relief in the past two days. Everyone ran to the east of the city to collect food. I also ran to collect food and got a sign. The queue was too long to come here."

"I know that the imperial envoy is here, but in the past, the disaster relief people just pretended to give out a bowl of rice soup... It's not as much as what Jiang Dashan gave."

"I thought so too. This year is different. I heard that His Majesty personally came to monitor. My neighbor ran to yesterday and brought back two bags of rice, two bags of flour, and a sack of money..."

"Hiss, so many? Then I'll go too!"

……

At the porridge shop, the boy saw the much shorter line than before, and expressed the same feeling: "Young Madam, there are a lot fewer people today."

Yesterday, most of the people had not heard the news, and they still came to the west of the city to get porridge. Today, most of the people knew that the imperial court was providing disaster relief in the east of the city, and the rewards were quite generous, so they all rushed to the east of the city.

Yun Yao said: "Isn't this a good thing? Only relying on the power of the people is a drop in the bucket after all, and the imperial court comes to rescue the disaster, which is really hopeful."

Although there is no evil or no business, Jiang Yue is a rare conscientious businessman. He and his wife worked hard for half a lifetime, relying on honesty, building a good reputation, and monopolizing medicine, he became the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River.When other rich merchants took the opportunity to increase the price of food to make a fortune, the Jiang family lowered the price of food so that people could eat, and the price of cloth so that people could keep out the cold. Giving porridge and helping the common people is known as Jiang Dashan.

It was also because of this that Yun Yao was willing to work for the Jiang family at first.

After really taking over the Jiang family's finances, Yun Yao realized that the Jiang family's situation was not optimistic.The Jiang family was really rich when they were rich, but in recent years they have almost used up all their wealth to do charity. Various businesses are struggling to make ends meet, and the restaurants they run are on the verge of bankruptcy. The only money-making business is the pharmaceutical industry.

Yun Yao asked Jiang Yue's opinion, and Jiang Yue said that he had left enough property for Jiang Jinxu's life to live comfortably, and the rest was invested in charity.

Asking the reason is that he hopes to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, pray for his wife's next life, and atone for his behavior of killing his wife.

Changli has fertility medicine, but taking it only allows men to have the same pregnancy physique as women, and it doesn't mean that taking it can immediately conceive.Even if it is difficult for women to conceive, men naturally do too, and Mrs. Jiang is one of them.

Jiang Yue didn't value children, but Mrs. Jiang wanted a child very much, so Jiang Yue painstakingly developed a medicine that could increase the fertility rate of men, which directly established the status of the leader of the Jiang family's pharmaceutical industry and the richest man in Jiangnan. They will choose to spend a lot of money to seek medicine.

What Jiang Yue regretted most in his life was developing this medicine.

He made his wife pregnant, but the probability of Changli man dying in the delivery room is too high, not to mention his wife is such a dangerous old childbirth.

He has not yet been able to develop a drug that reduces childbirth mortality.

What worried him even more was that Jiang Jinxu had inherited his wife's physique.

Therefore, when Jiang Jinxu and Yun Yao got married, Jiang Yue made Yun Yao swear that Jiang Jinxu would not be allowed to take birth control pills, and he did not want his only son to repeat the same mistakes.

Yun Yao agreed.

Having said that, the imperial court came down to relieve the disaster, and it could be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of the Jiang family.

Otherwise, no matter how shrewd Yun Yao's mind was, he would not be able to save the Jiang family who had been hollowed out.

Yun Yao scooped up a bowl of porridge and served it to the people queuing in front of him. The people thanked them and left.

He was about to fill a bowl when he saw two familiar figures.

All three eat a meal.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that the strangers who thought they met by chance met again today.
