Nowadays, rice and noodles are really important. The price of rice in other places has been increased by about ten times. Only here, the price of rice is not available. So even the government got involved, taking the roster and checking one by one.

I'm afraid that someone will receive too much rice. This is a good thing for the country and the people. If you make a fortune in this, aren't you afraid of thunder and lightning?

Qi Qiuning led several people up to the tower. When the soldiers above saw him, they quickly raised their hands and saluted, "Master Qi."

"Yes." Qi Qiuning responded lightly, and then asked, "How are the people outside?"

"There are nearly a thousand more victims. It seems that they will continue to come. Especially in the south, it seems that just after the drought, there are floods again. As a result, the number of disasters is increasing. In other cities,

This is also the case here."

When Qi Qiuning heard about the flood, his eyebrows became even tighter. Sure enough, he agreed with what Lian Wen Yu said, a long drought will lead to floods. Then, it is even harder to say whether there will really be a plague.

, and his heart felt even heavier, as if something was pressing down on him.

"How is it going over there in Jingxian County?" He asked the soldier. He didn't know how his grandmother and grandma were doing over there. Fortunately, they were not in Beijing now, otherwise he would have had more to worry about.

The soldier thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Sir, the place there is relatively far away, so so far, everything is safe."

"That's good." Qi Qiuning was relieved now. After thinking for a while, he asked someone to tell Lian Wenyu. He knew that she had always been worried about her grandma and grandma, especially when Brother Ran was still young.

When he walked up to the tower, he saw people outside standing, sitting, and walking, taking care of their families, complaining, and just building some shacks, just treating it like a peaceful home.

At this time, people below the tower saw him, and almost all of them stood up.

"Everyone, look, Mr. Qi is here."

"Yes, Qi Qiuzi is here." Someone already stretched out his hands to shake Qi Qiuning.

"Master Qi, Master Qi..." The people below called Qi Qiuning's name. To be honest, in this situation, many people's eyes were red. They are just ordinary people. How innocent they are.

Not only do you have to leave your homeland, you also have to suffer from such ups and downs.

There is even hunger, fear, fear...

Qi Qiuning glanced at those behind her, and soon someone carried out several large burdens, and even soldiers came to help.

When the load was opened, it was filled with large white flour buns that had just been steamed, and even a pot of wild vegetables, and many more were still being transported here.

"Don't be anxious, everyone. Line up one by one and let the elderly, children and women come to the front." The people below also followed the instructions. Now they can give them a ration. They are already grateful. Everyone is suffering.

Whatever comes out is not easy.

Qi Qiuning asked someone to take the basket, put all the steamed buns in the basket, and then hung baskets one by one from the tower. Now that the court was still thinking of a way, Qi Qiuning could only do these few things first.

When it comes to food, let everyone have a good stomach first, lest they starve to death.

At this time someone came up again, "Qiu Ning..." The man called Qi Qiu Ning's name. Qi Qiu Ning turned around and saw the person coming. The frost on his face seemed to have receded a little.

"Uncle, you are here."

"Yes." Ye Hui'an walked over, looked down, and shook his head involuntarily, "Oh, it's so pitiful to see so many people. By the way..." He called to the people following him, "Now

The weather is getting colder and colder. I ordered a batch of cotton-padded clothes and distributed them to everyone first. I am a garment trader. I didn’t listen to Xiao Yuer’s advice to collect more grain, so I could only send clothes.

Already." He reached out and patted Qi Qiuning's shoulder.

"Qiuning, you are such a good boy."

Qi Qiuning also patted him back. In fact, the two of them were about the same age. He called him uncle, but in fact they were like brothers, especially with Lian Wen Yu, they became even closer.

"With uncle's help, it would be even better." Qi Qiuning smiled, finally having some smile and no longer being so cold.

Ye Hui'an shook his head, "I can't help much. I just have some clothes so that people won't always say that I smell like copper. Compared to you, I'm far behind. After all, if you put these grains

If you sell it at a high price, you can probably exchange it for another Qijia."

Qi Qiuning looked at the victims below and twitched the corner of his lips slightly, "Uncle, I came back from the war. Why do we have to fight? Isn't it to protect our family and the country? The national crisis is at the forefront. If I make this kind of money, what will happen to my father and I?"

My mother will look down on me. They have been upright people all their lives, especially my grandfather. He would never make dirty money."

"That's good." Ye Hui'an patted Qi Qiuning's shoulder again, "Our Yu'er really didn't misjudge the person." Well, he called some people up, and sure enough, those people were holding people in their arms.

Cotton-padded clothes, "These cotton-padded clothes were just made in a hurry. I can't say how warm they are, but at least they can keep out some of the cold."

"Also, I asked people to rush to make some quilts and distribute them to the victims." He said and sighed. I can only help as much as I can. They are really pitiful. Here, from the top of the tower, to the bottom from time to time

The people were handing out steamed buns, and they began to give out quilts and clothes to the people there. With clothes and food to eat, all the victims were moved and cried bitterly, calling them good people, etc. In fact, the people really wanted it.

They don't have much, all they want is to be fed and clothed.

Someone from the imperial court happened to come over to inspect the disaster. When they saw Qi Qiuning and Ye Hui'an rescuing the victims, they didn't dare to stay longer and hurriedly reported it to the person in the palace.

When the man in the palace heard this, he stood up suddenly.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that we would have such a good businessman who serves the country and the people." He kept walking around. He walked to the table again, waved his hand, and wrote a few words vigorously,

Not long after, the disaster relief rice from the imperial court also came. In addition to distributing it to some important disaster areas, some were also distributed to the capital. Qi Qiuning and Qi Qiuning took turns giving it to the victims outside the city every day. Otherwise, they would have to rely on the Qi family to help them.

Sooner or later they will die from exhaustion. The Ye family and the Qi family also opened porridge shacks outside the city so that the victims in Beijing can also eat.

Qi Shijing slapped the table hard, not sure if it would hurt his hand.

"Qi Qiuning, you are such a prodigal. Do you want my Qi family to lose all their money? Not only did you sell the rice at such a low price, you actually gave it to some people outside the city to eat for free." He pointed outside, "

Are they your father, or am I?" Qi Qiuning is working on his abacus, calculating the accounts of the past few days. He was very busy and tired at first, but now he is running in both directions, and he can't stop for an hour all day long, so

He didn't want to talk now, but Qi Shijing seemed to be addicted to scolding, pointed at his nose, and started to curse loudly.

With a snap, the pen in Qi Qiu Ning's hand broke. He threw the pen in his hand hard and stood up. Qi Shijing was stunned. He had witnessed Qi Qiu Ning's violence.

"What, you still want to kill your father?" He raised his chin, his face twisted.

Qi Qiuning, however, walked past him without even making a sound.

Patricide, he sneered. If Lian Wen Yu hadn't repeatedly said that he wouldn't be allowed to kill his father, he might have killed him with his own hands.

Qi Shijing was so angry that he either left or stayed away. He walked to the table and was about to grab the ledgers on the table when a hand stretched out.

"Who is so bold as to interfere in my affairs?"

As a result, when he looked at it, he saw that it was Qing Ge. Qing Ge picked up the account book from the table and the broken pen, and then went out generously. Qi Shijing looked at Qing Ge's background and was really surprised.

He gritted his teeth in hatred, but he didn't break it.
