Chapter 4400 Planning the overall situation
Seeing Yang Ruoqing's calm look, Yang Yongjin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qing'er, since you and Tang Yazi have known about this for a long time and Tang Yazi has gone back to investigate, then I can rest assured." He said.
I don’t know why, but as long as he has this sister and brother-in-law, even if the sky falls, he feels that it will be okay and he can still hold on.
"Second brother, no matter how many rumors are flying outside, we can't mess up ourselves." Yang Ruoqing warned Yang Yongjin again.
Yang Yongjin puffed up his chest: "Qing'er, please be at ease. Others don't know what Tang Yazi is like. Don't our own family members also know Tang Yazi's character? Tang Yazi is the most upright, righteous, and loyal in the world." courageous person Well, he is just too good, so he was tricked by those people and took the blame. This has been the case since that year about the poisonous locusts in Lanzhou. People who are too good will take the blame."
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips.
It is not a sin to be too nice. The main reason is that Luo Fengtang's existence has endangered the interests of some people, so they will do everything possible to bring him down.
Back in the guest room, she was alone in the guest room. Xiaoduo and Baobao Luo had gone out to play.
Yang Ruoqing stood at the window and watched the people coming and going on the street near the window, including beggars and pedestrians begging, large and small.
There were more beggars in Wanghai County than in the first month. They had seen some at the gate of the city when their carriage entered the city.
There are groups of three and five, men, women, old people and children.
Whenever they see a carriage passing by, they will rush to beg.
Some were ferocious or cowardly, crying and noisy. As soon as they took out a few steamed buns and cakes, they were all snatched away.
The male beggars will also snatch the cakes from the hands of the female beggars and children, fighting each other, which makes people feel powerless even if they want to show mercy.
There are more and more beggars. Are they all coming from the East China Sea?
Logically speaking, Tangyazi left for the East China Sea before the Lantern Festival. It is already early February, and twenty days have passed!
Twenty days were enough for him to rush to Donghai County and start investigating and handling it.
Even if the efficiency is not so fast and the rich households cannot open warehouses and release grain immediately, they will at least do some appeasing actions. The number of refugees fleeing from famine will be controlled or even reduced sharply. Rather than increasing continuously like now.
So it means that Tang Yazi hasn’t investigated clearly yet and failed to find a good solution to the problem?
No, she believed in his ability to do things.
Then, the most likely possibility is that Luo Fengtang has arrived in Donghai County, but found that the actual situation is more serious than he imagined and involves something deeper.
That’s why he remained silent on the surface and turned to investigate secretly, so the results were not produced so quickly.
To do great things, the most important thing is to stay calm. Don't be impulsive, endure temporary anger, and think about the overall situation.
Yes, that is definitely the case.
With her confidence strengthened, the darkness in Yang Ruoqing's eyes dissipated and turned into a relaxed and joyful light.
On this trip to the county town, she and her younger brothers and sisters were celebrating her mother's birthday. So be relaxed and happy, and don't look worried and make your parents worry.
At night, a large table was set up for Mr. Sun in the restaurant, and all kinds of dishes were served like a revolving lantern.
Mrs. Sun was delighted and couldn't help but said: "There are so many dishes that we can't eat, and our eyes are dazzled. Qing'er, isn't this too extravagant and wasteful?"
“There are so many beggars on the street outside, and there are a lot of old people and children who don’t have enough to eat. I have so many things for my birthday, and I feel bad about myself!”
Yang Ruoqing said: "Mom, you only celebrate your birthday once a year, why don't we serve a few more dishes? It's not illegal, and it's not harmful to nature, so you can eat it with peace of mind!"
Da'an also said: " Mom, you and dad have worked so hard to bring us up, so it’s time to enjoy the blessings. Today, my sister has prepared a table for you, so you can eat it. If you think it’s extravagant, you may end up eating the rest. Don't throw away the vegetables, we can just continue eating them tomorrow!" Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, Da'an is right, there is no need to cook the vegetables tomorrow, mother, don't feel too bad, just eat with peace of mind."
I am really kind. The food for this table does not cost more than 500 coins, but I think it is too extravagant and wasteful.
The meat of Zhumen’s dogs smells stinky, and there are frozen bones on the road.
Little do they know that for those truly powerful people, a bottle of wine costs more than this.
They eat, drink, have fun, and do all kinds of expenses. There is nothing they can't do except what you can't think of.
They live in a state of intoxication, they spend money like water, they spend money like water, and they regard human life as nothing.
When they spend huge sums of money, they don’t consider how many old people and children there are on the streets outside who don’t have enough to eat or wear warm clothes.
“Qing’er, why are there so many beggars outside? They are everywhere. This afternoon we planned to go to the street behind there and saw beggars begging everywhere. There were so many policemen. Come here and chase them here, and chase them here and there. Did something happen?" Yang Huazhong suddenly asked.
Yang Ruoqing raised her head and glanced at her father, then smiled and shook her head: "I don't know. Daqi is so big. It's not unusual for people to flee here when there is a famine somewhere. That year, there was a drought and insect infestation in the Helanzhou area. Isn't it the same here?" Are there a bunch of beggars here?”
"When the famine problem in their hometown is solved, they will naturally go back. It's okay. Dad, let's eat some food!"
Yang Ruoqing hurriedly greeted and handed it to Yang Yongjin and Daan respectively. A look.
Yang Yongxian knew that these beggars came from the East China Sea, and Yang Ruoqing also talked about it with Daan in private.
Da'an's attitude is the same as Yang Ruoqing's. It takes time to solve the problem.
After dinner, Sun and Yang Ruoqing discussed this: "Qing'er, I heard that a Guanyin Temple to the west of the county is very effective?" It’s true that the incense in that Guanyin Temple is strong all year round.”
Sun said: “That’s good. , I want to go there tomorrow to help your aunt burn incense and make a wish to bless Xiaojie to have a son. Before coming, your aunt specially told me."
By the way, I also secretly made a wish to my daughter-in-law, Xiaohua. I hope she will give birth to a few more babies for Da'an. Feng'er is now two years old, and Xiaohua and Da'an can have more babies.
Of course, Mr. Sun kept these little thoughts in his heart and did not say them out, so that they, the young people, would be shameless and embarrassed to go.
Hearing Sun's words, Yang Ruoqing nodded readily.
"Okay, let's just go tomorrow. It's not that difficult." She said.
Yang Huazhong said: "I won't go. As an old man, I don't want to go to those places."
The people who go there are all women and children, and he feels uncomfortable.
He would rather stay in the restaurant and help the waiter, clean the tables, or chop wood in the backyard, he is free.
Both Sun and Yang Ruoqing knew Yang Huazhong's character. Sun said: "Sure, then you can stay."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Dad, you don't have to go to the Guanyin Temple, but you can stay with me later. Mom, you have to go to the cloth shop in the county to make clothes. You can’t refuse anymore.”
Asking dad to accompany me is just a pretense, mainly because I want to trick dad into going there and let the embroiderer there measure me. Tailor-made clothes.
