Chapter 55 It really doesn't work

Early the next morning, news came from the magistrate that because of the drought this year, the downstream canal was seriously short of water, and the grain carriers could not take water, and the grain ships could not go up against the water at all. Now a large number of grain carriers are all docked in Cangping Prefecture.

And the magistrate also said that not only Jiangdong Prefecture has no food, but several state governments upstream are facing the same problem.

In the study, Lin Huazhi said angrily, "Since we already know that there is a shortage of water downstream, the government should have made a plan in advance. Can the problem be solved by saying that there is no water in the drought?"

Yan Shaobai said, "Although it is a severe drought, it is not so serious. The main reason is that five days ago, the three prefectures of Fenglinfu, Zhimufu and Tai'anfu in the downstream opened the embankment to irrigate farmland at the same time, which lowered the water level downstream a lot, resulting in the poor water supply of grain transporters. I heard that the magistrate has sent someone to organize a convoy to transport grain by land.

Lin Huazhi combined and said, "From Jiangdong Mansion to Cangping Mansion, the road is full of hills and slopes, and you have to go over Dongping Mountain to get food. Even if you walk fast, you have to walk for ten days. But now, the whole city's miscellaneous grains can only last for five days. What about the remaining five days?

Yan Shaobai sighed and said, "Your Majesty has ordered the local garrison to strengthen its preparedness to prevent the people from rioting. At present, all we can do is to inform the shopkeepers and keepers to strengthen their vigilance just in case.

Although Lin Huazhi screamed fiercely, she thought about it for a long time. At present, it seems that she can only do it according to Yan Shaobai's meaning. This is the first time I have encountered such a thing, and Lin Huazhi always feels uneasy.

The two were speechless for a moment. Yan Shaobai rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly, "Go and rest. You didn't sleep all last night. You are not in good health. Pay attention to more rest."

Lin Huazhi looked up, but all night, Yan Shaobai's eyes were black and blue, his eyes were covered with blood, his face was tired and haggard, and his always clean and refreshing chin also grew green at this time.

After opening her mouth, Lin Huazhi wanted to tell Yan Shaobai not to worry, but when this came to her mouth, she didn't know why it became another meaning: "In an extraordinary period, the master must restrain people, remember to keep them not to run around, and shut up their mouths and don't reveal any wind."

Yan Shaobai looked up at her. Lin Huazhi said such words, which really surprised him. He frowned and looked at her for a while and suddenly said, "Go down." This was a little harsh and dissatisfied, and seemed to warn her that it was more and more.

Lin Huazhi sighed slightly in her heart, and just now she forgot her identity. Seeing that Yan Shao's white face was not good, she stopped talking, saluted, and quietly walked out of the study.

Turning out of the east courtyard, I saw Du Yinglian coming in a hurry.

"I heard that you discussed it with your brother-in-law all night. What's the result now?"

Lin Huazhi said, "It's all settled. It's not a big deal." Du Yinglian's shocked temperament really can't tell her the truth.

Hearing that it was okay, Du Yinglian took a long breath: "Look, this is making trouble. Now there is everything outside. I can't hear those messy words. Now that it's all right, that's fine."

Lin Huazhi heard Du Yinglian say "good" twice, and her mouth was bitter. That's good, obviously not good.

After thinking about it, she suddenly took Du Yinglian's hand and said, "Miss, look, the master is busy with big things now and doesn't have time to take care of this yard. You are also half a master. At this time, you have to show the spirit of the lady and don't let the messy things outside affect the people in the house. , annoyed the master's heart. What's more..." She lowered her voice, "What's more, you are the first to get the moon near the water. You help Yan Shaobai share the chores. He will definitely remember you. That woman surnamed Cui is not as good as you."

Du Yinglian was stunned, and then looked closely at Lin Huazhi with a strange face. At first, Lin Huazhi thought that Du Yinglian didn't understand her words and was about to say it again. She didn't think that Du Yinglian suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said, "Lin Huazhi, I really didn't see it. You have a lot of small ideas. It seems that you really hate Cui Ting.

Lin Huazhi laughed twice and subconsciously looked behind him. What was the man in the study doing at this time?

Lin Huazhi suddenly became sad again. She should have given up on that man, but why did she start to worry about the man's anxiety at that moment?

With a sigh, she told herself that it didn't work. It really didn't work.

She thought, when the rice shop is over, should she think about whether she should stay or leave?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help turning her head and looking at the study behind her again.
