C16 (1/2)

The next day, just as Gu Nanfeng had expected, other than the people who were affected by the disaster in Danyang City, other people from other cities, who were not affected by the disaster, also came to the city gate. There were thousands of them gathered there.

Fortunately, they had already made their preparations. Yesterday, they had already given the order to boil several buckets of rice porridge and distribute them out in a bowl. Gu Nanfeng woke up earlier than him and was already serving the rice porridge with the soldiers.

”I'll keep order.”

”Thank you, thank you.”

If she saw an older person carrying a child, she would ask the soldiers beside her to make more for them.

Gu Nanfeng said while smiling

”So easily? Those who do not know, do they think that you have done a disaster relief before? ”

Liu Yue was startled, have you done this before?

That's right, in this Dang Yang City, she had once spent the happiest time with Yin Su here.

Danyang City is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Every summer, when the rainfall increases dramatically, it is easy to cause a flood. The imperial government allocated annual funds to build dams and reservoirs, but they still could not avoid this disaster.

In the past, there were three years of time. Every summer, the late emperor would order Yin Su to come to Pang Yang to guard and supervise the water conservancy projects. The environment here was very difficult, so Yin Su did not bring Liu Yue along, but at that time, Liu Yue was also very willful and lawless in Zhen Mansion. Furthermore, her father never restricted her actions, and she had grown up with him on horseback, so when Yin Su did not allow her to come, she had simply followed behind him quietly. After walking for tens of kilometers, with no path of return, she finally appeared in front of Yin Su and forced him to bring her to Wu Yang City. She still remembered that during the first year, when Yin Su was halfway there, he suddenly saw a travel-worn servant rush to her front. He was both happy and helpless as he carried her onto his own horse, and the two of them rode a horse together.

Although Yin Su was the noble Third Prince at the time, he was not valued highly by the First Emperor. The reason the previous Emperor sent him to the difficult Dang Yang was because on the surface, it was to train him, but in reality, he wanted to reduce's power. Otherwise,'s achievements would be much more powerful than the First Prince, and could even threaten his future successor. Therefore, there weren't many people following them along the way. They were only a few close guards. The conditions were exceptionally difficult, but Liu Yue felt extremely happy at the time.

Yin Su always held onto the reins in one hand while the other held onto her tightly, careful not to make her suffer even a little. At that time, he thought, there had not been any battles in the imperial court, and Yin Su had probably loved her when there hadn't been any battles between kings.

At that time, when Yin Su came to Danyang, the mission assigned to him by the imperial government was only to provide relief, but he had long foreseen what would happen next …

”Disaster relief is only a matter of healing. Only by fixing the water conservancy can the problem of the annual flood of Dang Yang be solved.”

He was a man with great mobility. As soon as he spoke, he immediately took action. He recruited soldiers to buy horses and threw himself into the construction of the water conservancy. And Liu Yue had automatically taken over the task of providing food for the disaster.

At that time, the environment was extremely difficult, so Liu Yue was fine, she could just stand by the side and supervise. However, Yin Su stayed by the side of the Yellow River all day and night, researching governance methods. He was so tired that he would go back to his house every night.

At that time, he was still just a teenager. Liu Yue felt his heart ache, and shouted that he would not let him go again. In a daze, he put his arm around her and answered

Since I've come to the people to gain experience, naturally, I have to walk among them to truly understand what the ordinary people want, what they are afraid of, and to live together with them through hardship and happiness. In the future, I will be able to do things that are beneficial to them, that I can take from the people, that I can believe in the people, and that I can obtain the world.

Because he was about to fall asleep, his words were intermittent and illogical. At that time, Liu Yue was also an ignorant child, so he did not realize his ambition.

But now that he thought about it carefully, when he was young, he already had the ambition to win the world over.

There was no room for further thinking about the past. If one were to think about it, they would feel that everything that had happened had been foretold. It was just that Zhen Liuxi did not understand it in her previous life.

When they returned to the same scene, Gu Nanfeng's words made his lost in thought for a long time.

”At this rate, I'm afraid the food we brought will soon be consumed. We need to resume production as soon as possible.”

Gu Nanfeng was even more worried than Lord Prefect Zhu here.

More and more people came to Danyang. The people who had been in the surrounding cities had scattered to all parts of the country to earn a living, but when they heard that Danyang had food, they all came back.

However, on the second day, when the city gates were opened again, the number of people had already doubled from yesterday. They had no choice but to boil the porridge a little thinner and guarantee that they would be able to endure for a few more days.

Because Gu Nanfeng had brought the food here in the name of the Xin Fei, all the citizens of the city gave the Xin Fei a thumbs up.

Wherever Liu Yue went, Die Ye followed along. As usual, she was quiet and did not speak, but with her by her side, Liu Yue felt at ease. There were many people outside the city gate, so Die Ye suddenly said this.

”Famine is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is the plague.”

Plague? This was also the problem that Liu Yue was most worried about. After the catastrophe, so many people had died as well. None of them had been properly dealt with. Some had been buried, some had not. The probability of this plague happening was too high.

She had looked for Gu Nanfeng to discuss countermeasures, and Gu Nanfeng had made a prompt decision …

”Find Lord Zhu to settle the matter, strengthen the army, and burn down all those who starved to death. Otherwise, if the plague spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
