The air is airtight, and there is quite a depressing feeling as if a storm is coming.
Xiao Nianzhi's intuition was that it might rain, so she went out early in the morning and brought an umbrella with her.
Before noon, it started to rain.
Summer rain comes quickly and leaves quickly...
Sometimes, it may not be that fast.
Therefore, it continued to rain until evening.
From small at noon to big in the evening.
Big raindrops hit the ground, and puddles were formed one after another in the muddy land.
Soon, the puddles turned into splashes.
Because it rained too much and there was too much water.
Even horse-drawn carriages are difficult to pass.
Fortunately, we will still have a rest tomorrow, so there is no need to consider the issue of morning pilgrimage.
So, Xiao Nianzhi went to his aunt's village outside the city at night.
It was closer to the outfield of Shanglinyuan, and she happened to be there recently.
After all, in summer, the city is sultry and hot, but it is far less cool than the woods in Zhuangzi.
Especially when we stay under the trees by the lake, the days seem quite leisurely.
When it comes to the Queen's death, there is no need to ask my aunt, a former palace official who has left the palace, to help.
When Sun was the concubine, it was because of the old friendship.
Now you don't need to think about it that much.
Moreover, Aunt Yu has already left the palace and doesn't want to worry so much anymore.
She was too lazy to cause so much trouble for herself.
In the past few days, I have been taking some time off at Zhuangzi.
The summer days are long, and when the sun sets, the sky is still bright.
However, because of the rain, the road was not easy to walk and the sky was dark.
When they arrived at Zhuangzi, both the carriage and Xiao Nianzhi were soaked in the rain.
After carefully tidying up, I entered Zhuangzi's side.
As soon as Aunt Yu heard that she was coming, she was busy cleaning up.
He asked people to boil water and put away clothes.
Xiao Nianzhi has jewelry and clothes here.
Xiao Nianzhi made it by himself, grandpa made it, and Aunt Yu made it with her measurements.
In short, I have a lot of inventory, so I don’t have to worry about going back without anything to wear.
Aunt Yu has already sent people to tidy up today's official uniforms.
Xiao Nianzhi came at a good time. Aunt Yu just had someone prepare dinner, but she hadn't eaten it yet.
It just happened that the master and apprentice could have a meal together.
Although it was said that Aunt Yu did not go to guard the queen's spirit, nor did she go to help.
However, in the past few days, I have been vegetarian, which can be said to have restored the friendship that we once knew each other.
dinner……
It tastes better than the big pot rice at noon, but that's all.
Apart from the taste of the plant itself, there is actually no bland taste.
For Xiao Nianzhi, it was actually not bad.
Having a lot of fish and meat every day, and occasionally having a vegetarian meal, seems to be very good?
It rains sometimes for six days.
Officials who are accustomed to flattering His Majesty have already begun to give His Majesty the excuse, saying that the Queen's virtues moved the world, and God couldn't bear to see it, and she shed tears belonging to God...
Anyway, the way you brag is so annoying.
The kind of upright and upright officials who look at this will shake their heads and say: I can't learn it, I can't learn it, and I won't be able to learn it in another ten years.
However, for those people, it is not a problem at all to have it at their fingertips.
Your Majesty was in a sad moment, so after hearing this kind of praise, he felt that it was pretty good, and he accepted most of them.
After six consecutive days of rain, it finally cleared up on the afternoon of the seventh day.
The Queen's funeral was over. It was summer and it was difficult to store the body. The Qintian Prison calculated the auspicious time. After two days, they finally chose the auspicious time and sent the Queen's coffin to the imperial mausoleum.
As soon as July started, the Jin Dynasty lost its queen.
The continuous rain has been falling continuously, not only in the capital city.
It seems endless elsewhere.
After July and a half, Xiao Nianzhi was already planning to change his shift and go to White Horse Temple to burn incense sticks, thinking that he had fulfilled his wishes and burn paper to worship Xiao's mother.
At this time, Linzhou came to report that due to continuous heavy rains, the water level of the long river from Linzhou to Hezhou had surged, breaking the river embankments and flooding six subordinate villages, killing and injuring countless people.
As for the loss of farmland, we don’t even know how much it was.
The data is still being compiled.
Moreover, the rain in Linzhou has not stopped yet.
Last year was considered a good year, although there were some bad things in several southern states from time to time.
But in most cases, localities can repair it themselves.
What is finally reported to the capital is only the final processing result.
This year in Linzhou...
I really can't control it.
Therefore, we rushed to send messages to the capital all night long to prepare for disaster relief.
If we don't save it, we don't know how many villages in Linzhou will be flooded.
Such a big event comes on the heels of the Queen's funeral.
His Majesty didn't even have time to immerse himself in sadness before he immediately turned around and got into work mode.
Linzhou was hit by a disaster, so the imperial court must take action.
Sending imperial envoys, delivering disaster food, and a series of follow-up consolation work all need to be done.
In the mornings of the past few days, I have been studying this matter.
There will also be some discussions during the Umrah meeting after the morning pilgrimage.
First of all, the first thing is, which granary should be used to open a granary for disaster relief?
Although there were heavy snowfalls in various places last year, it was already winter.
During the autumn harvest, it was not affected too much.
Therefore, the harvest conditions in various places are good.
The reserve granary on the imperial court's side is fully stocked, so there is no need to worry about other issues.
However, being dispatched nearby will definitely save time and effort.
The situation in several nearby states is still unclear.
In addition to reports from Linzhou, news from Hezhou is already on the way.
In other states, the situation is still unknown.
So, what is the feasibility of being dispatched nearby?
It needs to be discussed as early as possible.
What about the imperial envoy?
This is not like last year, when Xiao Nianzhi went to promote farm tools. Originally, the imperial court had issued an order, and Xiao Nianzhi went there to assist.
To put it bluntly, with Xiao Nianzhi, the efficiency is higher.
If not, they can still finish it, just slower.
It is also because of this that Xiao Nianzhi does not need to have many qualifications, experience, or even a particularly high official rank, as long as he is a professional counterpart.
But disaster relief requires experienced hands.
In many things, you will not be fooled.
Although it is said that the prefect of Linzhou and the like are all good.
However, the situation is different. Who knows what the situation is like now?
This selection should be discussed first and then again.
In the end, this matter fell on the shoulders of Lord Lou, the Marquis of Nan'an.
Mr. Lou has the title of marquis and an official position.
Don't care if it's virtual or honorary.
As long as it is available and easy to use.
In addition, he is also capable.
So, just send him!
As an imperial envoy, he also needs to send people to assist.
In addition, if Your Majesty has any candidates who need to be polished, you can also take the opportunity to learn from them.
