Yu Wenyun and Dong Shulan also wrote a letter each in the West Mountain Villa.

Yu Wenyun wrote this letter to her mother, Imperial Concubine Shang, describing the refugees she had witnessed. She described her grief and indignation, the tears she shed at the thought, and the unbelievable impact on ordinary people. She also mentioned Fu Xiaoguan's efforts to save the refugees, and asked her mother to convey to her father, the Emperor, that the drastic withholding of disaster relief rations in Yao County alone demonstrated the severity of the situation in the disaster-stricken areas across the country.

Dong Shulan wrote this letter to her father, Dong Shangshu, and also talked about the refugees in Yao County, but did not mention Fu Xiaoguan. She hoped that her father could ask the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to investigate the flow of relief supplies in detail. The corruption here has become so serious that it is outrageous. Everything the court has done for the victims has gone into the pockets of those parasites. There are only more than 30,000 victims here, but there are hundreds of thousands of victims on both sides of the Yellow River. If they don’t have enough food, big things will happen!

Fu Xiaoguan did not interfere. Since the matter had been exposed, the court would definitely investigate it thoroughly. Although he knew that this matter would ultimately have no results, being able to catch some corrupt people and deter some villains would be a great merit.

At dusk on the second day, more than a hundred doctors and twenty carts of medicinal materials hired by Fu Daguan arrived at Xishan Villa. Fu Xiaoguan did not give them time to rest. He sent three hundred guards from Xishan Villa to set off immediately with these doctors and medicinal materials and rushed to Yao County overnight.

The main task of these 300 guards is to maintain order among the refugees. Whether it is relief in Yao County or on the way to the next village, Fu Xiaoguan will never allow any chaos to occur.

These doctors went to Yao County, firstly to treat the refugees, and secondly to be prepared for any emergencies on their return journey.

Fu Xiaoguan was very worried that the women, children, the elderly and the weak, especially those who were displaced, would not be able to hold on.

Death is inevitable, but it would certainly be better if there were fewer deaths.

"Young Master, the West Mountain Villa is the most important place in the mansion." Yi Yu was a little worried. Once the 300 guards were transferred away, the West Mountain Villa would be empty.

"I know that too. Yu Lian kept saying that he would send constables to maintain order there. Well, even if he really sent them, how many constables can a small county have? Those disaster victims are starving. Once a person is starving, he will lose his mind. After all, survival is a person's first will. I have requirements for food for Chuck's disaster relief. Although I have already told Chuck to set up at least fifty disaster relief points, I estimate that there will still be crowded stampedes. Everyone wants to have a full meal, and they are afraid that they will be gone if they are late. Those strong men who still have a little strength will definitely be able to squeeze to the front, but what about those weak ones? They may not get to eat the meal, but be trampled to death."

Fu Xiaoguan's face, which should have been childish, became extremely mature. His eyes were very solemn, his tone was very low, and there seemed to be the weight of a mountain between his unchanging eyebrows. He no longer looked like a sixteen-year-old boy.

Yu Wenjun was a little dazed as he looked at Fu Xiaoguan's weather-beaten face, wondering if this was what it meant to have compassion for the world?

Dong Shulan had seen Fu Xiaoguan like this before, but when she saw him again today, she felt that he was mature beyond his years.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't pay attention to his expression at the moment, he was indeed in a heavy mood.

"And the world is peaceful today, and no one has heard of banditry. So after much deliberation, I've decided to send out the three hundred guards. It's good to have fewer people killed."

Here are the female expert brought by Su Mo and Yu Wenyun, as well as more than a hundred villagers from Wangjia Village. Fu Xiaoguan doesn't think any bandits would dare to come to Xishan Villa.

Yi Yu didn't know that there were two masters here, and he was still a little worried, but the young master had already made such arrangements, and the three hundred guards had already left. He could only pray that nothing went wrong.

Yi Yu left, and Fu Xiaoguan and the other two sat down in the yard.

The setting sun shines, and the sky is covered with red clouds.

The three of them were still talking about the victims, and Fu Xiaoguan was telling them about many of the arrangements to come.

At this time, Fu Xiaoguan spoke very easily, so the atmosphere here also became relaxed.

"Once these people arrive, they'll have work to do. I'll pay them wages, including food and lodging. Next spring, when the crops are sown, those who want to go back can go, and those who don't will have saved some money. If they want to settle down here, they can build their own houses or reclaim some wasteland. The surplus labor can work in the workshops. They'll definitely have no problem supporting their families, and they might even be able to live better. Of course, it's up to them to choose."

"What if more victims come later?" Dong Shulan asked. This was the problem that worried her the most. Victims would always flow to wealthy places. Linjiang Prefecture was a wealthy prefecture in the north of the Yangtze River, and the news that Xishan Villa accepted the victims would definitely spread. Given Fu Xiaoguan's character, he would definitely not treat these victims unfairly. Then this place would become a paradise in Linjiang Prefecture. In the minds of the victims, this was a shelter where they could settle down and make a living.

"If that's the case, I will turn this village into a most prosperous market town." Fu Xiaoguan said with a smile.

Dong Shulan glanced at him and said, "Why don't you calculate the remaining food in your house and how long it will last them?"

Fu Xiaoguan laughed and said, "Don't worry, the granary will still be full when I marry you!"

The two girls blushed immediately, "Who wants to marry you?"

Dong Shulan's voice was as low as a mosquito, while Yu Wenjun's voice was quite loud but with a hint of shyness.

One is like drizzle in the wind, the other is like the warm sun in winter.

Very good!

The kidneys must be healthy too!

Fu Xiaoguan laughed loudly, and the two women were finally defeated and lowered their heads shyly.

This guy is so shameless!

The two girls were happy.

Wang Er and Wang Qiang walked in at this moment. Wang Er heard Fu Xiaoguan's laughter from afar and looked over. Wang Qiang rushed forward with his head down excitedly. Wang Er grabbed him and said, "Go in later."

Wang Qiang was stunned, and the two of them went out of the moon gate again.

After a stick of incense had passed, Wang Qiang peeked inside and saw the three of them chatting and drinking tea. There should be no more awkwardness as his father had mentioned.

He walked in again holding a box and came in front of Fu Xiaoguan.

"Master, this is Fu Yidai, take a look."

Fu Xiaoguan took the box and opened it, revealing plump seeds.

"I'll keep this for now. Come back to me next year when you're ready to plant the seedlings. Remember, don't delay the planting."

"I'll remember that!" Wang Qiang turned and walked out the door. Dong Shulan asked curiously, "Is this the seed you were talking about?"

Fu Xiaoguan nodded, twisted out a seed like a treasure, and said, "This seed is different. We'll cultivate another batch next year, and the year after that we'll be able to plant it on a small scale. That way we can get an idea of ​​the yield. It's definitely going to double, at least. As for whether it can go higher, I'm not sure. This thing needs to be cultivated and improved generation after generation."

"Can grain production be doubled?" Yu Wenjun widened his eyes.

"That's why I can guarantee that once you enter the Fu family's gate, this granary will still be full."

"Official Fu...!"

This place is beautiful.
