Over in the capital, there are friends like Wu Ruoruo and Meng Rong.
There is also Gou Qingyun over there in Jizhou.
Speaking of which, Gou Qingyun is getting married during the Chinese New Year. In this letter, the other party asked Dong Nuan if she could go then.
The other party returned to his ancestral home in the capital to get married, and the person he married was also in the capital.
It's fine to just go back to the capital when it's warm in winter.
She can return to Beijing at any time. After all, she is not a local official. In many cases, local officials are not allowed to return to Beijing at will without being summoned.
However, no one knows whether there will be time by then?
After the two of them sorted out the gift list, they started writing plans for next year.
Jingxian County has started to plant fruit trees in response to the warmer winter, and this year's food harvest will be bumper.
Because at the beginning of the year, a lot of fields were cleared, so this year is a real bumper harvest.
In the words of the common people, they never dared to think that they could harvest so much food at once.
Ah, yes, there is also corn.
Due to seed constraints, we only planted two acres of corn.
The quantity is not large, but the output is good.
Because the number is still small now, Dong Nuan has no intention of alarming others.
After two acres of land were harvested, the grains were not even peeled, so they were stored directly.
Therefore, the long-term workers don’t know exactly how much they received.
However, the number is definitely quite large.
It's just that no one has seen this kind of thing before, and they don't know how to eat it, so although they are curious, they don't ask much.
If possible, I would definitely let them grow it in the warm winter.
I haven’t said anything yet, because there is still time to experiment, or there are other concerns.
Therefore, the long-term workers did not ask many questions, and the managers did not say much.
The harvested corn is still stored in the granary in the warm winter.
Although the grains were not peeled and weighed, Dong Nuan made a rough estimate and found that the yield per mu was about five stones.
In fact, in future generations, it is not much.
But, for today...
Four stones is already suffocating, and five stones may make your Majesty jump.
It's just a pity that he doesn't know now.
hey-hey.
The winter is warm and we have plans for next year, breeding, improving, and replanting.
Put some more thought into fertilizing and see if the yield per mu can be increased a little more during the new year.
Dong Nuan discussed this matter with Hanjiang Lou. Hanjiang Lou naturally listened to Dong Nuan in everything, so when she said it, Hanjiang Lou nodded after thinking briefly.
It rained continuously in Jing County for about half a month.
It's just a drizzle, so it doesn't have a big impact on the warm winter side.
After winter, only flowers continue to grow here, and the related workshops are also in production.
It started to rain, so Dong Nuan gave employees a day off.
Later, it was discovered that the rain kept falling, and the winter warmth allowed them to come back to work.
Half a month later, the rain still hasn't stopped.
In fact, the impact of warm winter is quite big. Rain and low temperature will not only knock down the flowers that are open, but also those flowers that have not bloomed will not bloom in a short time due to the low temperature and rain.
If there is no corresponding flower output in the workshop, there will be no way to continue production.
"I don't know when the rain will stop." Dong Nuan looked at the dark sky outside, thinking that it was already past Laba and the Chinese New Year was about to come, so why didn't the rain stop?
The two of them stood in the room watching the rain. Hanjianglou couldn't help but frown at this time: "I always felt that the rain should be heavy somewhere, so I kept bringing us here."
Dong Nuan agrees with what Hanjianglou said.
Another three days have passed, and the rain still hasn't stopped, and almost all work in the workshop has stopped.
Hanjiang Tower also received news that in several counties under Duanzhou, many villages, Zhuangzi, and even two good bridges were destroyed by heavy rain.
"The situation is not good." After Hanjianglou returned from Fucheng, he first took off his raincoat and then said to Dongnuan.
It wasn't raining heavily outside, but it didn't stop, so there was a lot of moisture on Hanjianglou's body.
The light rain in the past half month did not have much impact on everyone because the rain was not heavy.
But a few days ago, there was a sudden heavy rain in Duanzhou, which destroyed a lot of things.
Originally, there had been continuous rains before, and a lot of water accumulated in various places, and the soil was soft. But now when the heavy rain comes, the consequences are terrible.
When I went to Fucheng today, Magistrate Xu's complexion also darkened a lot.
When Duanzhou was hit by a disaster, Magistrate Xu felt a little more uneasy. He was afraid of heavy rains in Lizhou, so even though it was raining, he still had people call all the magistrates to the capital city and hold a meeting.
After Hanjianglou came back and spoke to Dongnuan, he put on his raincoat and went to the villages below to check on the situation.
No one can predict the intensity of the rain that will follow, so we still have to go down and have a look.
The workshops have stopped working, and the people are at home.
Rain brings a lot of inconvenience to everyone's life.
Fortunately, this year, everyone made enough money, harvested a lot of food, and felt a little more at ease.
However, if the rain continues, their food...
Oops, I'm starting to worry again.
Fortunately, two days later, the rain finally stopped, revealing the long-lost sunshine.
The common people heaved a long sigh of relief, and Magistrate Xu also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the imperial court had also received news of the disaster in Duanzhou.
The prefect of Duanzhou would certainly not be able to handle such a thing on his own, so he sent an urgent letter back to the capital asking for help.
It is said that people from the capital have been sent here.
"Are you going to give porridge?" Seeing Han Jianglou's frown, Dong Nuan asked softly.
In response, Hanjianglou shook his head: "We don't need to do this. The wealthy households in Duanzhou are already opening warehouses to store grain. Let's wait and see. If Duanzhou asks for help, the prefect will make arrangements."
After hearing what he said, Dong Nuan didn't ask any more questions.
The prefect of Duanzhou was obviously experienced. He was afraid that problems such as plague would arise after the heavy rain, so he took strict precautions from the beginning and paid great attention to all matters.
Therefore, even though there was a disaster, there was no chaos in Duanzhou Prefecture, and there were no refugees or the like.
Many people in villages and counties have lost their homes, but the prefects are already providing resettlement.
The good news is that it's not too cold in winter in the nearby area.
Otherwise, this life would not be easy.
Half a month later, the day before New Year's Eve, the imperial envoy from the capital came.
The person who came was an acquaintance.
and the prince.
The prince came in person, and the people finally felt at ease.
Prince He brought the Shangfang Sword given by His Majesty. After arriving, he urgently transferred grain from the official warehouses of several nearby states, and then transferred money to settle the people.
"Although it is too late to build a house now, we must give the people a little hope, otherwise they will live in such temporary sheds and their hearts will be cold." Prince He looked at the slightly desolate Duanzhou and sighed helplessly.
The prefectures near Duanzhou were all allocated grain and silver.
Lizhou Prefecture is naturally no exception. This chapter has been completed!
