Chapter 460 Complaining
In the imperial study room, Xuanyuan Yu, who was discussing the snow disaster in the north, sneezing two consecutive times.
The father-in-law, who was standing beside him, quickly handed over the snow-white brocade veil and stepped forward.
Xuanyuan Yu picked up the handkerchief, wiped his nose, and threw it back.
The ministers hurriedly said, "The emperor is the emperor, so you must pay attention to keeping warm and keeping your dragon body heavy!"
Xuanyuan Yu waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to do, so let's continue talking about snow disasters!"
He was not suffering from cold, but his nose was simply itchy.
The Minister of Revenue said: "The snow disaster in Beijun is the most serious, and countless livestock are frozen to death, overwhelming thousands of houses. Moreover, the snow fell too early this year, and the people were blocked by heavy snow before they could prepare for the firewood for the winter." This winter, the people of Beijun were destined to be unbearable. Although they were not enough to starve to death, they were very likely to be frozen to death.
Xuanyuan Yu frowned and thought, "Your Ministry of Revenue prepares some clothes to protect the cold, charcoal, firewood and blue bricks to send them to Beijun. The Ministry of Works will send some people to help the people of Beijun to set up fire kangs. Send orders to let the county magistrates properly resettle the victims. After the snow stops in spring, they will help the victims rebuild their houses."
With firewood and kang, the people of the North County may be able to survive this winter.
"The Emperor's Holy Wisdom." Several ministers, led by the Minister of Revenue, bowed and left the imperial study room.
Xuanyuan Yu got up, walked to the window, and pushed open the closed window.
Seeing this, the prince, who was serving him closely, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is careful of the cold."
Xuanyuan Yu raised his hand and said, "It's okay."
The snow outside the window was still falling. Although the palace servants kept sweeping the snow, a layer of snow still accumulated outside.
It is said that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, but this year, he hopes that the snow can stop as soon as possible.
But the weather did not go as expected. The snow not only did not stop, but it was getting heavier. Because of the heavy snow, people didn't want to go out. The bustling streets in the past were very deserted.
These days, the people of General Zhenbei’s mansion have complained that the food has dropped. In the past, there must be meat at noon and at night, and they are all two fingers wide slices of meat, and each person can eat four or five slices. But now there is only minced meat, and there are only five or six minced meat in the bowl. Not only that, the rice and noodles are not good. The rice and noodles used to be white, and now they are all yellow. At first glance, they are Chen Mi and Chen Noodles.
The nanny complained in front of the kitchen manager. The nanny said that the eldest lady reduced the food expenses and would be the standard in the future.
Many people complained about the eldest lady. Although the young lady was crazy and did something wrong, she never treated them as servants!
Cuiyu Pavilion
Song Ziyu cleaned her hands with hot water, walked to the dining table, looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, and immediately frowned.
"Why are there only a few dishes?" In the past, she had five dishes and one soup when she ate alone in her yard.
"Also, what about the hibiscus duck and steamed sea bass I like to eat? I have said that I want to eat these two dishes at night? Did you forget to tell the kitchen?" Song Ziyu raised her eyebrows, her face full of unhappiness.
Cui'er hurriedly said, "I'm going to talk, but Madam Zhang said that the eldest lady reduced the food expenses. Each yard can only have three dishes and one soup, two meats and two vegetables. Like duck fish, you can only order twice a month."
Eat twice a month? She is a lady from the General's Mansion in Zhenbei. She wants to eat a duck, but she can only eat a fish twice a month. If it is spread, it will probably make people laugh.
"How do you eat this?" Song Ziyu picked up the chopsticks on the table and threw them heavily on the table.
She knew that her mother, who was stingy, would definitely be fine and would not be able to eat well!
