After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space
Chapter 80 Delivering food in time to appease the people
"Your Highness, you see the city gate."
"parking!"
The carriage stopped not far outside the city, and Mu Chaochao brought out the grain carts prepared in the space, one for each of the guards.
"Chaochao, let me drive one for my grandfather."
"There are so many 200,000 troops and people in the city. We don't want to ride in carriages. Let's all come down to transport food!"
"Okay, I haven't done this yet, and I've had my fair share of it."
"Sister Fairy, I am strong, I can do it too."
"Sister, I can do it too."
"Sister, I also want to push food."
"Chaochao, aunts can do it too."
"Okay, Red Lotus, Green Wild Lotus, and Baolian, you guys will drive the carriage, and the others will push the grain into the city." Mu Chaochao conjured up seven more grain carts.
"Grandpa, can you push it?"
"Okay, don't worry Chaochao." Mr. Mu patted his chest and said.
All the men in the Mu family are good at martial arts, so pushing a cart of food is no big deal. Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Xue took Nanyue in one, and Mu Yunxi and Mrs. Mu took two children in one. Mu Chaochao felt relieved when he saw that it could be pushed.
After putting some food on the carriage, Mu Chaochao released two white tigers to ride in front, with the carriage following behind.
"Who is it?" the guard shouted as he looked at the two people riding in on the white tiger.
"His Royal Highness is the seventh prince of the current dynasty. He is here to transport food for disaster relief. Please let him go as soon as possible." Ye Huaichen took out the token.
"I pay my respects to the Seventh Prince." The soldier looked at the man in front of him excitedly and knelt down to salute with the convoy behind him.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness, please come inside." The soldier gave way respectfully.
"Where is the government office?"
"Your Highness, you go straight into the city, turn right at the fork in the road and go straight."
When a group of people entered Xining City Gate, there was no one on the street. People lined up in a long queue at the government office. At this moment, porridge was being served at the door of the government office.
"Sir, what should I do? The porridge is gone, and there is a large group of people behind me." The policeman looked worried at the long queue in front of him.
"All the food that can be transferred to Lin County has been lost. I don't know when the food from the court will come?" Many victims came because of the king of Beilin. Fan Zhongxun, the prefect, was also worried because there was no food.
"Master Prefect, what should we do if there is no porridge?"
"Master Magistrate, when will the court provide disaster relief?"
"We won't wait until we starve to death. The court hasn't shipped food yet."
"I think we should leave Xining and go somewhere else."
"Where can I go after leaving my hometown? I don't know if my whole family can survive outside."
"You may still be full after eating outside."
"You might also starve to death on the way."
How can you be full with just one bowl of porridge? The people's faces were dirty and their lips were chapped. Now they were panicking when they saw that there was no porridge.
"Folks, please be quiet. There are still 200,000 troops here. The imperial court will not give up on us. If we wait a few more days, the imperial court's food will definitely arrive."
Magistrate Fan didn't drink water and his voice was hoarse. Seeing the turmoil in people's hearts, he hurriedly comforted them.
"Master Prefect, can we really wait for food from the court?"
"Yes, I will not give up on everyone, and King Beilin will not give up looking for water sources everywhere. We will tide over this difficulty with 200,000 soldiers."
"Okay, let's tide over the difficulties with King Beilin."
"Let's get through the difficulties together! Let's get through the difficulties together!"
"Brother Chen, it seems that this gentleman is not bad." The two of them heard the excited voices of the people in the distance.
"Your Majesty, come here too." Mu Chaochao looked at the King.
The king raised its noble head and roared domineeringly forward, "Ho... ho..."
"Ah, there are tigers, how can there be tigers?"
"Is the tiger going down the mountain to eat people because it's hungry?"
"Are we going to be eaten by tigers before we starve to death?"
"I want to run, but my legs are weak."
"You don't have to be afraid, white tigers don't eat people." Mu Chaochao said with satisfaction as he looked at the people who were not scared away.
"The seventh prince is here. Your Highness, you are here."
Li Zimu and the escort officer came over in surprise and saluted. They had just arrived.
Ye Huaichen looked at Li Zimu and several government officials in a very embarrassed state. They left early but did not expect a drought in the northwest. They had no food or water along the way.
The Mei family heard that the drought had started again, and the government officials were even more unhappy. They could only grit their teeth and finish their errands. Who would have thought that during their trip to escort prisoners, they would also become the target of soup kitchens.
Seeing Ye Huaichen's arrival, they saw hope of going back. They didn't have enough to eat for several days, and they didn't have the energy to go back.
"Xining Magistrate Fan Zhongxun pays homage to the Seventh Prince."
When Magistrate Fan heard that the Seventh Prince had arrived, he hurried forward to salute.
"Greetings to the Seventh Prince." The people also saluted.
"Everyone, get up."
The people looked curiously at the two white tigers and the man riding the white tiger.
"Don't panic, everyone. Your Highness will send you food. The food from the court will arrive in a few days. You won't be starved for it."
"Great, we don't have to go hungry."
"Look, the food is coming."
"Why are women and children coming to deliver food?"
"It's not food for the imperial court!"
The Mu family and the guards put down the cart and wiped their sweat.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." The prefect saw a woman and a child delivering food, and walked over and saluted.
"It is our honor to be able to contribute to the people. The prefect has failed us."
"Here we are, sister, we have completed our mission." Mu Heng and Nan Xingchen ran over excitedly.
"Be good, you are great, let Dabai take you to play."
Mu Chaochao got off Dabai, carried them both onto Dabai, and each took a peach for them to eat.
"There are steamed buns and fruits in the carriage. Bring them over and share them."
"Your Highness, you came just in time, the porridge has just been served." The prefect sighed as he watched everyone queuing up to receive the steamed buns.
"Thank you, Seventh Prince."
Every citizen who received the steamed buns did not forget to say thank you. When there was no porridge to drink, the Seventh Prince rode a white tiger and arrived with food like a god. The people were grateful and the purpose of appeasing the people was achieved.
Ye Huaichen nodded and said, "Register the people present and arrange things for them in a few days."
"Yes, Master, you will be responsible for the registration." The prefect said to the Master.
Many people came from Jincheng County and Luling County, and the prefect set up some tents outside to accommodate them.
"Your Highness, please come inside." Magistrate Fan led the way.
The Mu family followed them into the government office, and the government servants and Mei family members looked at them with envy.
"Where does their food come from?"
"May Baolian still has a carriage to ride in. Let me just say that Mr. Xue is very scheming!" Mr. Li was extremely jealous.
"Let's pack some food and go back to the capital." This trip was really painful.
Mu Chaochao and Mu Qing followed Ye Huaichen into the hall, and the rest of the Mu family were led to the backyard to rest for a while.
"Prefect Fan, how is Xining now?"
"Your Highness, it has not yet rained in Jincheng, Xining and Luling County in the beginning of spring. Everyone is looking forward to rain in summer. Unexpectedly, there is still not even a drop of rain in May. It has been more than two months since the official reported the disaster to the court, and it has not yet happened. Seeing that the imperial court has allocated funds for disaster relief, the government has been providing porridge for ten days and cannot sustain it until tomorrow."
"How's the military camp going?"
"The army has only had two meals of gruel a day since a month ago. Yumen Pass has been closed for ten days. King Beilin is leading his soldiers to look for water sources. Beimo has sent spies to investigate. I think the news has been leaked."
"There are also grain merchants in the hardest-hit areas who have closed down and raised prices. The king of Beilin led his troops to rob the grain. The king of Beilin left the money to buy grain and beat some unscrupulous traders twenty times. There is no grain left in the northwest region. The military camps There should be no food either.”
"The idol is domineering!" Mu Chaochao looked up with admiration.
"King Beilin's behavior has won my heart." Ye Huaichen said with a smile.
"Your Highness, may I ask, are you staying in the government office temporarily?"
"No, it's okay for His Highness to live with the Mu family. How is the layout of Xining City?"
"Your Highness, there are four main streets in the city. The East Street is mostly the residences of wealthy families. The West Street is usually a place where grain and grass are stored. The warehouses of various rice shops are located here. The South Street is the busiest, and most people in the city gather here.
North Street is close to the city wall. It is where officials and sergeants are usually stationed. Most of them are residences of officers. In addition to the Fourth Street, there are also several lanes and squares. It is mainly lively between South Street and West Street. The intersection of the two streets is full of teahouses and pubs. , inn, and night market on West Street before the drought. "
"Master Fan, are there any big stores selling goods in that area on West Street?"
"In this current situation, there are many people selling shops, but there are not many big shops. The biggest shop on West Street is the big drugstore opened by Beilin Wang. Does the little girl want to open a shop?"
"Well, I want to open a grain and fruit and vegetable shop."
"Little girl, do you have food?" Magistrate Fan stood up and looked at Mu Chaochao in shock.
"Yes, Fengyang County was also affected by the disaster. We also opened a shop in Fengyang County and grew food."
"Really, that's great. If you need anything, little girl, just tell me and the government will fully cooperate."
It seems that these grains are really not allocated by the imperial court. God has sent a lucky star. This disaster may not cause a large number of people to be displaced.
"You don't have to worry about food. During these days, just try to appease the people and give out porridge every day." Ye Huaichen said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Magistrate Fan said respectfully.
