Chapter 514 Donating Food
In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of March.
It has not rained since a thin snow last year.
Yuzhou is different from Jiangnan. Although there is water source here, most villages are too far away from the water source.
Moreover, even if there is a water source, it is not enough to support the water supply of crops in the entire Yuzhou.
They are not obvious here, but Yangcheng is beginning to show signs of drought.
"There has not been a drop of rain in Yangcheng since July last year. In addition, there was a war, and now there is panic inside and outside Yangcheng. The crops in the fields can be said to be abandoned."
Last year, when war came, the people hurriedly replanted another crop.
But until now, there has not been a drop of rain, and the entire Yangcheng has fallen into panic.
Some of them who have good conditions and have relatives from other places also went out early to join us.
The family was originally poor, and now they can't even maintain a meal a day, so there are naturally signs of chaos.
"You want to help them?"
"The crops have no water, but the people can still lift water from the wells. Moreover, the prefect of Yangcheng has ordered that these wells are not allowed to be used in the ground anymore. The water level of the wells is also falling. With just a little water, the crops in the ground cannot be raised. More importantly, if the wells are gone, they cannot survive even if there is food."
Feng Wuye stopped talking.
If a person loses water, it will be difficult to survive.
"So, are you thinking about sending Yangcheng some food?"
"I have this plan. We have a lot of food reserved, and I have no other intentions. I just send some coarse rice and millet. By the way, I have collected a lot of corn before, which can be used to satisfy my hunger."
Now most of the people in Yuzhou are becoming rich, and many people in the village are starting to eat rice and white flour.
Now that these coarse grains can not only save the people, but also give Qin Zicheng a good reputation.
"I just think so now. I have already submitted a memorial to my father and see what my father means."
Feng Wuye realized instantly that some things cannot be passed by the emperor.
Sure enough, the emperor later issued an order to allocate 100,000 stones of food to Yang Cheng.
With the emperor expressing his opinion first, Qin Zicheng will understand here.
The emperor issued an order to allocate 100,000 stones of grain. After Qin Zicheng considered it, he sent 50,000 stones of grain to Yangcheng.
He took out the food as the prefect of Yuzhou City.
This made all the people even more shocked.
After all, everyone knows that Yuzhou City is the poorest place in Mingxia, no doubt about it.
But now, the Fourth Prince takes 50,000 s of grain at one's action. Although most of the grains are coarse, they are also grains, right?
If you can fill your stomach, that is a good thing.
With a head start, the ministers below all started to think of it as time to show their loyalty to the emperor.
The Seventh Prince and the Third Prince were both very angry at this time. It was simply hateful that Qin Zi presented such a good opportunity to take the lead!
Especially the Seventh Prince, he originally thought that Qin Zicheng was his biggest competitor, but he did not expect that others would be able to deal with it in such a timely manner without being in the court.
This made the Seventh Prince feel that he was slapped in the face and was particularly angry.
