When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Qingqiu stuffed the remaining half of the bun into Asan's mouth.

She quickly approached the stone and smiled ingratiatingly at the old man selling buns.

"Uncle, if we want to leave here, is there any other way to go besides the south gate?" Are there any other city gates?

The old man shook his head. "Our county is too small. We only have one city gate, which is the one in the south. If you want to leave Dan County, you can only go there."

Shi Yi sighed, this is troublesome!

She came into the city just to avoid the disaster victims. If she went through there again, she would definitely be targeted.

Shitou also frowned. How did he end up in such a shabby place? What should he do? !

The old man saw that they seemed to want to leave, so he kindly advised:

"I advise you not to go anywhere now. Those people outside are extremely hungry. They can do anything. Don't dare to provoke them now.

You guys should try to find some relatives or friends to settle down with first.

Wait until all those people outside have been resettled by the imperial court, then you can go out, otherwise it will be unsafe."

Shi Yi frowned: She really doesn't want to stay in this place.

There are too many victims in front of the city gate. I’m afraid this small place can’t hold on for long. There are still great risks if we stay here.

Just when they were hesitating whether to leave or not, they suddenly saw an acquaintance on the street.

Hey! Isn't that Weidong's girlfriend?

King Dongshan was so anxious that blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth. There was no reply from the court, and there was no progress in transferring grain from nearby areas.

The useless county magistrate looked sad when he saw him. He was so annoyed that he wanted to go out for some fresh air.

When I looked up, I met a pair of familiar eyes.

Hi! Why is she here?

King Dongshan came over with a shaky step and said jokingly:

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to see you here, where are you going?"

A few days ago, the two were in Panlong Mountain, but unexpectedly, they met in Dan County today.

What a fate!

Shi Yi's surprise flashed across her face, and she immediately put on a standard social smile and greeted him in a friendly manner:

"Hello, Your Majesty, are you taking a walk after dinner?" It is quite capable to stroll from Panlong Mountain to Dan County.

Mu Feng: Haha, Your Majesty hasn’t had a good meal these days.

Firstly, there was no news from the people who were transferring the grain, and there was no movement from the court either. The prince was so anxious that blisters formed on his mouth and it hurt even to drink water.

Secondly, there was no delicious food in this small and shabby place like Tan County. Most of the food served was very crude and crude, which was difficult for the prince to swallow.

And there is that County Magistrate Tang, who is so ungrateful.

The prince has come to visit, but he has never thought of inviting him to a banquet. Although the prince may not go, he cannot refuse to invite him.

This is a problem of attitude. Do you still want to be an official when you are like this?

Magistrate Tang: I want to resign now, and you still want to treat me to a meal? What a lie!

If the imperial court doesn't send relief grain any more, he will force the government officials to eat porridge every day.

Oh! He was very angry when he saw King Dongshan.

You could have resettled the disaster victims anywhere else, but you had to choose such a poor place as Tan County. Aren’t you bullying people?

If you weren't a prince, he wouldn't dare to say anything. If it were anyone else, he would have jumped up and down and cursed his ancestors!

There was no more food delivered, and no hot water was provided.

Of course, the timid Magistrate Tang did not dare to scold the prince, and he did not even dare to speak loudly in front of the prince.

But he couldn't help but resent King Dongshan for causing so much harm to others.

Therefore, he certainly could not flatter the King of Dongshan. Now County Magistrate Tang wished that the prince could not stand the hardship of their Dan County and leave immediately.

King Dongshan gave a bitter smile and said frankly:

"Still eating? Right now, the entire Dan County is like a lake that is about to dry up. We are about to run out of food!

Although I have sent people to nearby counties to transfer grain, I haven't seen even a grain of grain so far!"

He spread his hands in distress and asked Shi Yi:

"Tell me, why am I so unlucky? I just wanted to go out and relax, but ended up with such a tough job."

There will be no reward if he does it well, but if he fails, the emperor will not let him go.

Shi Yi smiled awkwardly: "I don't understand this. I can only talk about some herbs."

You may be overthinking it. It would be strange if you could mobilize food, especially when a disaster occurs nearby.

There are many wealthy families hoarding grain to make a fortune in national disasters. Those officials also want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. It is easy for them to allocate grain to you, and then your Highness can just walk away.

Who would dare to ask you for the food they borrowed from you?

Even if you ask the magistrate of Dan County for it, he will never acknowledge it, because the grain is not for the people of Dan County to eat.

Can we ask the disaster victims for money?

So, if I lend you the money, there will be a lot of troubles. If I don’t lend you the money, I just need to find a reasonable excuse.

If you want to borrow food, it's like stealing money from someone's pocket. It's strange that they would be willing to do so!

The people you sent out were probably held back by others. They promised to transfer the food, but in reality, the various government offices passed the buck to each other. How can you get the food? It's difficult!

How could the King of Dongshan not know this?

But the situation is urgent now, and he can only hope that some of the officials can have some conscience and a sense of the overall situation.

He sent out ten people, and if any one of them could bring some food, it could temporarily solve the urgent problem.

But now it seems... there is little hope.

King Dongshan put aside these worries for the time being. He stared at Shi Yi for a while and said with a smile:

"You don't seem to be very lucky either." Are you lucky to be here?

Shi Yi shrugged and said indifferently: "I'm lucky. At least I met the prince, so my safety is guaranteed."

If anyone dares to act rashly in front of the prince, her little donkey will have a few days of peace.

King Dongshan sneered: "It's hard to say. If we can't get more food, the hungry people will make trouble. Who knows what will happen to Tan County?"

What use are less than a hundred soldiers?

Shi Yi frowned: "You can't just stand there and watch. You are a prince after all!" Where are your pomp and your privileges!

You actually stand up at the critical moment!

King Dongshan said with a grin, "What's the use of me being a prince? Look, I can't even allocate some food."

Alas, when one is poor, one's ambition is low! Even if the prince has no money, he will be looked down upon by officials!

If a wealthy prince were in charge of allocating grain, he probably wouldn't have to go through so much trouble like he does.

Shi Yi: "Hey, you are too nice. You should tell your subordinates that if you encounter officials who don't do their job, just chop one or two of them, and there will be more capable officials who will show up right away."

King Dongshan gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Hey, it has to be you. It would be great if you could be an official!"

Haha, you are really creative and dare to say it. I just don’t know if you have the courage to do it when it’s your turn!
