promise you

After listening to Chu Hui's words, Mo Chenglu and Tan Qinan did not object to her order to transport the grain to Zhuzhou City.As she said, although there were many victims in Zhuzhou, all of them were starving and lost half their lives. They had more than 300 soldiers.

"Open the city gate, send food—" The horses and horses transporting food and grass arrived at Zhuzhou City, shouting at the soldiers guarding the city.

The soldiers on the tower were also dizzy with hunger, and the shouts in their ears seemed to come from the sky, making them unable to tell the truth from the fake, and they didn't have the energy to check whether it was true or false.

The people in the city waited for a long time, but neither responded nor opened the city gate, so they shouted again: "Open the city gate quickly, Her Royal Highness Princess Diyuan came to Zhuzhou City to deliver food for disaster relief, the Prime Minister Zhuzhou City disaster relief. "

The second time he yelled, the soldiers on the tower finally heard it clearly.One of them got up and looked down, and actually saw a group of well-dressed people. There were dozens of carriages behind them, and the carriages were piled high with sacks. If they were really all, No, no, even if half of it is food, it can solve the urgent need here!

"Boss, do you want to open the city gate? Master Liang did say that the imperial court has sent the princess to come here as an imperial envoy to relieve the disaster, but the food should be transported to Xiling City. Why did it come here first?" An officer and soldier couldn't bear it. I kept asking, "Will this be a scam?" Although it's impossible to think about it, now Zhuzhou City has nothing but people who want to eat, and no one will come to cheat this city, right?

"Go, send someone to ask Mr. Chunyu for instructions!"

Chunyu Jingtang was in Zhuzhou City at this time, and the abbot was giving out porridge.There is not much food in the two cities, and the porridge has become thinner and thinner in recent days, and one or two grains of rice in a bowl is considered good.

When the officers and soldiers guarding the city called him, the eyes of the people who could hear him lit up all around. Did the imperial court really send someone here?If the court really didn't give up on them, did they send someone to save them?

"Are you sure it's a grain cart?" Chunyu Jingtang's expression was not very good. He remembered that he made a special trip to say in the letter that the grain and grass must be transported to Xiling City to avoid accidents.Is it true that it is because Her Royal Highness the Princess is here, so she still does her own thing? "Is there any news from Her Royal Highness?"

"I heard that the princess is also here, but the brothers are too far away to see clearly." The officer explained.

"Come on, let's go and have a look!" Chunyu Jingtang handed the porridge spoon to others, and walked towards the tower.

When he went up to the city tower, he saw clearly the people delivering the food, and hurriedly said: "Quickly open the city gate to welcome Your Highness the Princess!"

The city gate slowly lowered, Chu Hui got off her horse and walked in the front.She walked up the tower step by step, looked at the people struggling on the verge of life and death below the tower, her people, and said: "I am His Royal Highness Princess Diyuan of Dahuan, and I came to Zhuzhou City today to tell you that the imperial court I will never give up Zhuzhou City. You have to believe that the distribution of food by the imperial court is fair, and if someone deliberately makes trouble, I will not tolerate anyone."

Chu Hui went to the tower to say this because before she entered the city, she saw the people around her staring at the grain truck behind her with green eyes, as if they were hungry wolves who would desperately seek food at any time.She knew that Chunyu Jingtang and Mo Chenglu's ideas were right, that human nature could not stand the test, but she had to do so, and she never intended to test human nature, because she would not allow them to make mistakes.These words were to tell these people that they would not go hungry again, and also to let them understand that Zhuzhou City was under her control from now on, and only by managing all of these well could the casualties in Zhuzhou City be reduced.There is no need to worry about the problem that the grain and grass will not last long, not to mention that Zhuzhou is only due to the severe drought this time, so the grain grains have not been harvested. After a while, other things planted in the ground will definitely grow, and the people will be able to self-sufficient.Even if it really doesn't last until that time, the imperial court can still deliver food and grass, and if it doesn't work, she can still transfer a batch of food and grass from her fief.

After saying this, Chu Hui looked at Chunyu Jingtang and asked, "Master Chunyu, how much food is left in the city?"

"There is not much left. In the past few days, I gave porridge three times a day, but these two days have become twice a day." Chunyu Jingtang's voice was a little difficult, but he quickly said, "But now that the princess is here, I believe everything will be fine. Get better."

"Master Liang, how many households are there in Zhuzhou City now, and how many people are in each household? Have you ever counted them?" Chu Hui asked Liang Siwang again, he was the parent officer of Zhuzhou City.

Liang Siwang said respectfully: "Your Highness, there were statistics before the disaster happened, but because of the drought, every household starved to death, and there was not enough food and manpower, so there was no way to re-register."

"The two adults think it is better to give out porridge every day, or to distribute the food and grass needed by each person to each household every day, so that they can solve the problem of food and clothing by themselves?" Chu Hui changed the subject and asked again. one question.

"..."

"..."

Neither Chunyu Jingtang nor Liang Siwang spoke, and fell into silence for a while.

"Hehe——" Chu Hui chuckled and said, "Although the two adults can speak freely, I am here to ask for your opinions. You are the parents and officials here, and you should know the situation in Zhuzhou better than anyone else. .”

"..." After being silent for a while, Liang Siwang opened his mouth, "I feel that it is the best choice to distribute the food and grass needed by each household every day. Once the porridge shop gives out porridge every day, it is inevitable that some people You compete with each other, the congestion is unbearable, and dozens of porridge distribution points need to be set up, and the yamen is understaffed, which is difficult to control; secondly, the distribution of food by household can record the casualties everywhere...just One thing is, the food and grass needed for household distribution may be much higher than daily porridge."

"Master Liang is right, but has Master Liang ever tried the second method? If you haven't tried it, how do you know that the second method will consume far more food and grass than the first one?"

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Liang Siwang was a little puzzled. They shared the porridge every day. As long as they made sure that the people who came to drink the porridge would not starve to death, they would naturally save a lot. "Please tell me clearly, Your Highness."

Chu Hui smiled and said, "Master Liang, don't you forget the promise I made to the people of Zhuzhou just now on the tower. Originally, there was no food in Zhuzhou, as long as we could ensure that they would not starve to death, but now everyone has seen it." There is a lot of food and grass, and the two adults will distribute the porridge and water where the grains of rice can be seen to the common people, how can they not complain?"

Therefore, the food and grass consumed by the two methods are not much different, and more importantly, only when the food is distributed to the people to make them self-sufficient can people do the work in the fields.Otherwise, if this continues, when the fields are completely barren, not to mention that there is not enough food, even if all the stocks from other places in Dahuan are transported, it will not last long.

"What your highness said is very true. There is only one point. If your highness uses the second method once, you will never go back to the first one." Chunyu Jingtang couldn't help reminding that he couldn't be blamed for being obedient, he is really a clever woman It's hard to live without rice, so he can only choose a way with the least number of deaths.

"It's natural. I'm an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor himself. Whether it's merit or demerit for the disaster relief, it's up to me alone." After Chu Hui finished speaking, she looked at Mo Chenglu, "Master Mo, you and your two lords have a good time." Discuss this matter, tomorrow at the latest, except for food distribution, I don't want to see so many people on the street again."

"Yes!"

......

After Chu Hui came to Zhuzhou City, she didn't have a good rest for five consecutive days. However, the hard work these days still has some results, and the disaster relief has been arranged very properly.

"Although this Zhuzhou city is big, there are people who are in charge of managing every street and alley, and the arrangements for receiving food and grass for each household every day are well organized." When Mo Chenglu accompanied Chu Hui to inspect Zhuzhou city, he couldn't help sighing. .

Chu Hui glanced at him. In fact, the reason why she chose to do this was to learn from Mo Chenglu's previous life.In the previous life, there was a cancer called Qu Youyun, which caused Zhuzhou city to suffer so much that the people were in dire straits, and it was Mo Chenglu who was finally sent to clean up the mess.However, there were too many victims of starvation in the previous life. It is better to say that people receive food than households.

"The more orderly it is, the more talents can survive. If possible, I hope that the people of Dahuan will die in peace, and will not die of hunger and cold, and will not suffer from illness."

"Your Highness is righteous, Your Highness will become a Dao Ming Lord in the future." Now there are only the two of them, and Mo Chenglu doesn't have too many taboos when speaking.

"It's better not to say these things. Have you forgotten that walls have ears?" Chu Hui asked, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was very helpful to Mo Chenglu's words.She is bound to win the throne, and with Mo Chenglu as a talented person assisting her, she will definitely be able to get what she wants. "Actually, I have always been curious. Mr. Mo is also a person who has read the books of sages. Others only think that I am against the destiny. Why don't you think so?"

"Because Your Highness deserves it!" At the time when he was named on the gold list, Mo Chenglu thought that the emperor was his Bole, but in the end he was depressed and wasted some time in the Imperial Academy. It's just a small editing by the Hanlin Academy.And more importantly, he can see that the princess has a soft side, with a heart for the world, but also a hard skill, decisive in killing, so she is the best choice for Mingjun, so it doesn't matter if she is a man or a woman?Even a man like him is not as passionate as a princess.

Chu Hui smiled suddenly, and said, "Then I will not let you down."

Chu Hui walked ahead quickly, and Mo Chenglu followed closely behind her, meeting many people on the road.No matter what these people were doing, the first thing they saw Chu Hui was to greet her, as if seeing a living Bodhisattva.The reason why she is regarded as a living Bodhisattva is not only because she brought so much food and grass, but more importantly, she brought hope. Didn't you see that the food planted in the ground is sprouting now?As long as you get through this time, everything will be fine...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mo Chenglu secretly said in his heart: I believe in Her Royal Highness, it is impossible to disappoint my subordinates and the people all over the world!
