(Little cuties, please add a bookshelf and ask for another five-star review. I added two chapters yesterday. Isn’t it delicious?)
Driving during the day and staying overnight, the further we go south of the Yangtze River, the more refugees there are.
A few people arrived at Fenglin Town that day.
"We'll reach Quzhou if we go further. Let's stay in this town tonight."
Yue Rushuang found an inn and asked for several rooms.
Everyone went back to the house, washed their faces, and then went downstairs to eat.
There were already several tables of people sitting in the dining hall on the first floor. Yue Rushuang took a table in the corner and ordered a few dishes. When she was out, there was no way to distinguish between master and servant, so everyone sat at the same table.
Before the food was served, a group of ragged people blocked the door, reaching in with dirty hands to ask for food.
"Go, go, go!"
The waiter said impatiently: "Who can bear more than ten calls a day?"
Those people were stuck there, refusing to leave, and kept begging.
"We are from Quzhou. Our house is flooded. Please give us something to eat!"
Yue Rushuang frowned.
"Bring some steamed buns, waiter."
Yue Rushuang gave them the steamed buns and asked, "Didn't the Emperor send people to provide disaster relief?"
The man said: "That dog official gives out porridge once every three days, but we don't have a share. It's from Quzhou City. Many people can't afford to eat so they join the Bailuo Sect. Finally, they have something to eat. But like us, The Bailuo Sect doesn’t want it.”
"The dog officer heard that the court sent people again, so he sent people to drive us away. We hid here and there. We had no other choice, so we took our family and fled."
Before Yue Rushuang could speak, a man at the other table said, "Then Mr. Chen was beaten to death. The prince personally ordered it and watched the beating. It took a whole hour. Don't you know?"
"Now the prince personally leads people to drain the water, and leads soldiers from two states to help the people build houses. I have never seen such disaster relief in my whole life. They even build houses."
Someone next to him immediately echoed: "No, just give me a bowl of porridge. After eating the porridge, you still have to drag your family with you to escape. I don't know how many people who sold their children and sold their daughters starved to death on the road?"
"My eyes have been opened this time. The prince mobilized soldiers from both states to build houses. In addition to porridge, the victims were given steamed buns every other day. Go back quickly and don't flee again."
"My sister got married in Quzhou, and I came to take her home. Who knew that my sister said she wouldn't go back to her parents' home? Now that the house is built, I won't be afraid anymore, and I can always survive."
The beggar bit the steamed bun and said, "The fields are flooded. If we go back, we will die. If we escape, there may be a way to survive."
The man in rough clothes said again: "You don't listen to my advice. His Highness the Crown Prince ordered people to put up a notice. No one will starve to death. They will give out grain and salt. They will also provide medical treatment for those who are sick. The notice says that the emperor is far away." The capital is also thinking about the people of Quzhou, and the emperor and the people are in a heart-to-heart."
Another person said: "This is the first time I have seen the prince providing disaster relief like this."
"I am fortunate enough to have seen the prince from a distance. He is really as beautiful as a dragon and a phoenix, just like heaven and man."
The other person also said with a serious face: "The current emperor is a wise king. The prince was chosen by the emperor, so he will definitely not be wrong."
emperor……
I am very relieved.
"However, I heard that the prince has a broken sleeve."
Several people sighed.
emperor……
Nonsense, you are not allowed to talk about my son like that.
Yue Rushuang...
here we go again!
The beggar took the buns and left.
The people at the table talked vividly about how the prince was intimate with an extremely handsome young man beside him, how the prince held his hand, and how charming the young man was when he was in love.
Yue Rushuang...
Why don't you become a screenwriter? You won't be allowed to stop until 40 episodes.
Liu Yongxue suddenly looked at Yue Rushuang and said, "Is the Crown Princess wearing men's clothes?"
"Are you two sour again?"
Yue Rushuang picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it directly into Liu Yongxue's mouth.
A few people continued to eat, and a group of people passed by the door of the store. The woman was wearing a white dress, and there were about a dozen people.
Those people started chatting again.
"I heard that the Duke of Qing in Changzhou also joined the Bailuo Sect and donated half of his family wealth."
emperor……
Qingguo Gongfu?
The emperor whispered: "Are you and the prince going to visit the old prince?"
Yue Rushuang whispered: "Master Huang, don't worry!"
The Duke of Qing's government joined the religion?
Don't think too beautifully.
After eating, several people returned to their rooms.
Yue Rushuang went to Liu Xiangu and told her in detail what she wanted to do.
"Myolie is here. If you need anything, ask her to help you."
Liu Xiangu stopped when she heard this.
"This is not a lie. I won't do anything to kill you."
Yue Rushuang said: "Who dares to attack the leader?"
"I'll give you something to save your life."
Yue Rushuang gave her a small silver ball tied with a red string.
"When in danger, shake your wrist vigorously, and the person will faint, and you can find an opportunity to run away. This medicine will not work on you."
Yue Rushuang gave her two more tear gas bombs.
"Remember, use it when there is danger. If you drop it on the ground, a puff of smoke will come out. They will all cry and cannot see."
Liu Xiangu...
"Can't others recognize the leader?"
"The leader also wears a veil."
Yue Rushuang told her her plan softly.
Liu Xiangu...
"Princess, you are planning to destroy this family without a single blow!"
Yue Rushuang smiled and said: "Be impressive for a few days, and I will ask His Highness the Crown Prince to send someone to protect you."
"Your demeanor makes you look like a leader, but that doesn't look like you at first glance."
Liu Xiangu said: "What good can I do?"
Yue Rushuang said: "When Liu Yongxue gets married, I will definitely give her a big gift. From now on, when she is in her husband's family, she will have the crown princess to support her. How about that?"
Yue Rushuang knew that Liu Yongxue was Liu Xiangu's weakness.
"I'll tell you one more thing. You'd better find a way to make a promise with Mr. Huang. If you have something to do in the future, Mr. Huang can help you once. Remember, it's very important."
Liu Xiangu: "Who is he? Someone who can talk casually to the Crown Princess, could he be a high official of the imperial court?"
Yue Rushuang said: "Remember my words. If you accomplish this, you will be a great hero."
The group arrived at the border of Quzhou on the second day.
The fields were completely destroyed, and there was a vast expanse of water. Some farmers were still draining water from the fields, and some were sighing with sad faces.
Yue Rushuang and others hired a carriage in Yahang, and the driver was a talkative man.
"Jiangnan will have a bad harvest this year."
Mr. Huang sighed.
"Why is it so serious?"
"If there is a drought, no matter how bad it is, we can still harvest a little. But now they are all soaked in water. I'm afraid I won't be able to harvest even a single grain of rice or wheat."
The emperor had a sullen face, said nothing, and furrowed his brows.
He didn't even dare to think about what Dajin would be like next year if it weren't for the Western Vietnam's annual tribute and the floods in the south of the Yangtze River.
Starved to death for thousands of miles.
This is how the previous dynasty ended.
A big stone weighed on the emperor's heart.
Xiaobashi said while driving the cart: "I have been working in vain for a year. Farming depends on the sky. This year I used a curved shaft plow to plow the land and a large water tanker. I thought it would be easier. Who knows, alas. !”
Yue Rushuang said: "Didn't the prince put up a notice saying that no one would starve to death?"
Xiaobashi said: "Many people will starve to death during disaster relief. Even though His Highness the Crown Prince has said this, how much food will there be? What will happen after the Crown Prince leaves?"
"Is it possible that Chengdu will follow the prince to the capital?"
Yue Rushuang...
