Chapter 152 A Bad Start
When the second princess saw the news about the flood, she looked a little unhappy. She had only been in charge of the country for a long time, and such a big thing happened, and it was a major disaster. It seemed that God was against her. Nothing happened when the eldest sister was in charge of the country. Act of God.
"Ministers, now that the flood has occurred, we should discuss how to treat it and come up with a charter as soon as possible."
The second princess directly put the question to the ministers.
"I believe that we should first treat the people and rebuild their houses after the floods have passed."
"Food is also a problem. People will take all the food with them when they seek refuge, but the time to maintain it is limited. After all, there is no autumn harvest yet."
"Foods will inevitably be followed by plague. If this cannot be controlled, it will affect the whole country. This must be given top priority."
"People are displaced and there may be robbery. This must be guarded against."
"There is currently no information about the four flooded cities, and we don't know what happened to the officials there. We need to send in more manpower."
It has to be said that the courtiers of Fengqi Kingdom are not free earners with their salaries. They have already told them all the situations that will occur before and after the disaster.
The second princess listened carefully. She knew that these ministers did not dare to lose their authority at the moment. If the floods spread or the plague spread after the disaster, the queen would remove these useless people from their posts without waiting for the end of her supervision.
Therefore, after taking all aspects into consideration, the Second Princess began to issue instructions.
Arrange officials from nearby cities to assist in the rescue, and mobilize some new soldiers to the affected cities to help people evacuate while preventing riots and to prevent other countries from causing trouble.
Let officials from nearby cities open warehouses to distribute relief grains. Rich households in the city can build porridge shacks to provide porridge, and the capital also transports a batch of reserve grains there for emergencies.
The Taiyuan Hospital dispatched manpower to go with the grain transport team to the disaster-stricken cities, and gathered doctors from the cities along the way to go to the disaster-stricken cities to rescue the people and prevent the occurrence of the plague.
Lianyi looked at the book in her hand, and was quite satisfied with the order issued by the second princess. She just made a comment at the end, asking the second princess to appoint an official as an inspector to inspect and supervise the implementation of various orders, so as to avoid any violation of the orders. things.
When the second princess saw her mother's annotation, her eyes lit up. This was exactly what she wanted. She must have hoped that the orders she gave would be well executed, and at the same time, officials she trusted could contact her openly. officials from all parties.
Then the second princess appointed an official named Zhao as the inspector to inspect the disaster-stricken city on her behalf. Shortly after the grain transport team left the capital, Zhao Ya left the capital in a low-key manner with a team of people.
After Lianyi got up early and had a set of boxing, he took the handkerchief from Lan Xin and wiped his face. At this time, Huizhi reported:
"Xian Shijun, please see me."
"Let him in!"
"yes."
A moment later, a wise servant dressed in green bamboo robes came in. After saluting Ripples, he said directly:
"Queen, the third princess went with the new army camp to fill the vacancies in the border occupied city two months ago. She was left in Longling City to replenish the Zhao family's army. During this flood, the Zhao family directly sent their group The new recruits and the generals leading them are also relatively marginal female generals from the Zhao family."
"You are quite well informed."
Lianyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the handkerchief back to Lan Xin.
"These are the messages sent back by the people around the Third Princess."
Xian Shijun lowered his eyes and said, these people were arranged by the Queen, so he had nothing to hide.
"The Third Princess is not in danger for the time being. If she is brave, she might be able to make meritorious deeds."
Lianyi walked slowly to the room, she wanted to take a shower and change clothes.
"When I change my clothes, you can have breakfast with me."
"yes."
Seeing the queen's calm face, Xian Shijun knew that the queen already knew the news, and she knew it in more detail than he did.
Xian Shijun had breakfast with Lianyi and then said:
"I know you are worried about the Third Princess, and the recent news from the border is that Panlong Kingdom is restless again. I am afraid they will take advantage of the flood in Fengqi Kingdom to make a fuss. The border guards have mobilized 120,000 soldiers. In a spirit of sharing, it will be a good thing for the third child to leave the border."
After hearing this, Mr. Xian Shi felt relieved. After all, it was better to provide disaster relief in Fengqi Kingdom than to go to war. Swords had no eyes. If something happened, it would be too late to save him.
Unfortunately, sometimes what you are afraid of comes to you. Just when the flood was initially under control, the secret guard arranged by the Queen to be next to the Third Princess sent back the news that the Third Princess had contracted the plague and was trapped in the disaster-stricken city.
After Lianyi read the news, she frowned. She didn't expect that the Third Princess's resistance was so weak. She asked Lan Xin to tell the Xian Shijun to come see her.
Xian Shijun has been restless these past two days, and his eyelids were twitching from side to side, which made him very upset. Just when the Queen summoned him, he took care of himself and went to the Queen's courtyard.
When he learned that the Third Princess was infected with the plague, his face turned pale and his body swayed. Fortunately, he was caught in time by the attendant beside him.
"Queen."
"I know you are worried about the safety of the third child. I cannot leave the capital. I can only make a trip in person. Is that possible?"
"Yes, I will prepare now."
Upon hearing the Queen's permission for him to leave Zhuoxiu Garden, Xian Shijun immediately straightened his face and agreed, eager to leave now.
"I have prepared the manpower and medicinal materials. You can bring a few more capable subordinates and you can set off tomorrow. Just remember to take care of your own health. I will be waiting for you in the capital."
"yes."
After the wise servant agreed, he hurried back to his courtyard, ordered four servants with martial arts skills, and set off that night without waiting until the next day.
Feng Shou sent a message to Lianyi the next day. She said that the one-armed fifth prince of Panlong Kingdom wanted to see the queen and said that he had a prescription to suppress the plague.
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that this person existed."
Lianyi sighed with emotion. After the last city came back, the people of Panlong Kingdom did not even mention taking back the fifth prince. They did not care about his life or death at all, and were even suspected of blaming him.
The eldest princess originally wanted to send the person directly back to the Panlong Kingdom. As for whether the person was dead or alive after returning, it had nothing to do with their Fengqi Kingdom.
Unfortunately, Lianyi calculated that the soul traveler had only been in the fifth prince's body for three years. It was still far from being fully integrated in ten years, so she decided to temporarily detain him.
Of course, she would not provide him with delicious food and drink, but would go directly to do corvee work with the guilty minister to build the dam. She only had three coarse-grain steamed buns and two bowls of porridge every day, as long as she did not starve to death.
The work of building dams is not easy to do. The other party must have learned that Fengqi Kingdom was affected by floods, so they jumped out and wanted to seek some benefits for themselves.
"Bring him to me."
Ripple also wanted to know what the other party had planned.
