Chapter 387: The heirless prince × the fake legitimate daughter (7)

In the end, Xu's father agreed to Xu Zhiwei's approach. After all, being a queen was more prestigious than being a concubine.

Moreover, this method is indeed feasible. No wealthy family is willing to marry a sick mistress.

It's bad luck after all.

When Xu Jinyi and his party arrived in Jiangnan, the weather here was already bad.

It was raining, and there were refugees everywhere. Many people left with their families, and I even saw several people selling themselves on the street to bury their fathers.

All of these people had sallow faces and thin muscles, but their bellies were bulging. The sick look on their faces made Jun Moxie frown.

"Ling Feng, go find out what's going on in this area? Why are there so many refugees?"

The imperial court allocates money to this area every year. This year's floods haven't started yet, so what's going on with these people?

Why didn't anyone in the capital receive the news?

Xu Jinyi also noticed something was wrong: "Your Highness, look at what that person is eating?"

The window of the carriage was not big. After Xu Jinyi squeezed in, Jun Moxie smelled the fragrance of roses on her body again.

I laughed secretly in my heart, men actually like the feminine scent of roses.

Following Xu Jinyi's gaze, Jun Moxie also discovered the problem: "It's Guanyin soil."

Xu Jinyi nodded: "This may be the reason why these people's bellies are so big."

Ling Feng came back soon.

"Your Highness, it turns out that this area in the south of the Yangtze River has not only experienced floods for three consecutive years, but also droughts and floods after the floods."

"The crops were not harvested. Although the court allocated money and opened granaries to provide porridge, countless people still starved to death."

Jun Moxie frowned: "Go to the county magistrate's office."

Jun Moxie thought it was because the local magistrate knew about it but failed to report it, or that he had embezzled the disaster relief money, or that he had sold the grain in the granary at a high price.

But he didn't expect that when he arrived at the gate of the magistrate's house, he realized that he had thought wrong.

Seeing the magistrate in patched clothes standing at the door personally serving porridge, even though the porridge was as clear as water, the refugees who got the porridge still thanked the magistrate profusely.

Jun Moxie has good hearing. If this was a corrupt official, the people would not be so grateful and respectful to him.

Moreover, his own situation is no better than that of the refugees. The tight belt and slightly trembling hands tell that his own situation is not much better either.

Seeing this, Jun Moxie's expression not only did not improve, but became even more gloomy.

"You are right. Corrupt officials in the government are a big cancer. If they are not removed, there will be endless troubles."

Xu Jinyi knew that he felt uncomfortable: "Your Highness, this is not your fault."

After learning that the third prince had arrived, the magistrate was overjoyed after being surprised.

The Third Prince's reputation is well-known in this area.

Therefore, other officials were sent here, but the county magistrate may not be happy.

"I am here to meet the Third Prince."

"The imperial court distributes food and money relief every year. Why do the people here look like they have been hungry for a long time?"

The magistrate smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Since I took office, I have never received any relief food or money from the court."

"Even the dams built every year are built by the people themselves voluntarily, and the rice used for the porridge is donated by the other two places."

"Some of it is old grain and old rice from three years ago."

The people looked this way one after another, with hopeful eyes in their eyes.

Jun Moxie's face was ashen. He didn't expect that corrupt officials were so capable and not only concealed these situations.

And he ignored the people.

The magistrate banged his head heavily on the ground, his voice choked with sobs, "Please Third Prince, please save these people, investigate the corruption, and let these people have a place to stay."

The people in the team wiped away tears and knelt down one by one following the magistrate.

Xu Jinyi's eyes turned red, and even the soldiers were filled with emotion, and several secretly wiped away tears.

Jun Moxie helped the magistrate up with his own hands: "You are a good official and a blessing to the people."

"Lingfeng, move all the food we brought in. Let's have a bowl of sticky porridge today."

"My Highness promises you that the corruption will be brought to the bottom and you will be given an explanation."

When the people heard this, they cried and thanked the third prince.

After moving into the magistrate's house, Jun Moxie stood at a high place. Jun Moxie watched a steady stream of refugees queuing up to beg for a bite of porridge.

My heart sank little by little.

Ling Feng was recruited and asked to investigate the corruption thoroughly.

Xu Jinyi spoke at this time: "Your Highness, there are many officials involved in the corruption matter. If there is no one behind them, how can they be so arrogant?"

"Once the investigation continues, you will become a target."

Jun Moxie stared at Xu Jinyi, his eyes becoming disappointed: "Are you trying to persuade me to pretend that I can't see anything and not investigate?"

Xu Jinyi smiled slightly: "Of course not. What I mean is that this matter is investigated secretly and cannot arouse the suspicion of the people behind it."

"And the most important thing right now is not to find out the matter, but to resettle the refugees and dig canals."

"Tell me what you think." Jun Moxie tapped his chin and agreed with her.

Xu Jinyi leaned over and explained her plan in detail.

Jun Moxie looked at her in surprise, then patted the back of her head: "It seems I have found a treasure."

Xu Jinyi looked at him in confusion, looking very confused and cute, which made Jun Mo laugh evilly.

"Just do as you say."

Then Jun Moxie asked the county magistrate to gather all the doctors in the town, let them eat porridge, and sit in a row together to treat the refugees for free.

People with the same symptoms stand in a team. If they use the same prescription, they take the medicine together and cook it at the door.

Xu Jinyi's method was to secretly investigate corrupt officials.

Second: Treat refugees free of charge.

Third: Let the magistrate discuss with these refugees whether they need money or food for digging canals.

"Everyone, listen to me. The third prince didn't bring much relief money. All of it was used to dig canals to discharge floods and strengthen dams."

"But now we are all so hungry that our hands and legs are weak. Even if we have money, we don't have the energy to dig."

"After getting the money, we don't have anywhere to buy food, so I suggest everyone choose food."

"We will dig the ditches, and the Third Prince and the others will be responsible for our food. What do you think?"

The people stood up one by one. The chance of survival was right in front of them. How could they give up?

"Mr. Magistrate, the little ones can go digging. As long as they have enough to eat, I can do whatever they ask me to do."

"Me too, even the peasant women are willing to dig. They can give me a bowl of porridge every day. As long as my children have something to eat, everything will be fine."

"Yes, Lord Magistrate, we are all willing to dig. Please help us tell the third prince that we are all willing."

The magistrate nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, the Third Prince will not ignore us now that he is here."

"He is now discussing with people from the Ministry of Works about flood discharge and water storage."

"If the flood discharge channel is dug, then our place will not be flooded every year."

"With the dams repaired, there is no problem in storing water. Even if there is a drought, we are not afraid. Good times are coming for us."

"Folks, hold on, the hard days are about to end, hold on."

One by one, the common people knelt down with red eyes: "Thank you, Third Prince, thank you, Third Prince."

The voice was loud and Jun Moxie inside also heard it.
