Quick Transmigration: A money-loving man meets a boy who gives away money!

Chapter 45: The Greedy Fox vs. the Princess of Great Chu (15)

They rode at full speed all the way to Yongzhou. It was already ten days later, and they were still leading the team, looting as they traveled.

The convoy behind General Chu was carrying a long stretch of food. Two carts were running parallel to each other, and there were two horse guards driving them. It stretched for more than one kilometer.

This was one of the batches that were looted, a total of 700 carts, each weighing two tons, containing 2,000 kilograms of grain.

More than 100,000 refugees might finish eating their food in ten days.

Next there will be money sent from the fiefdom of Kaifeng, and another group led by Qingyu that will be extorted from officials and gentry.

Chu Jiangli was ruthless. Those who were willing to donate were allowed to donate, and those who were unwilling were directly asked to look for files from the government, including those who had committed crimes and received light sentences, and those who colluded with officials and businessmen.

Directly confiscate the house.

If any files are lost, the officials will be confiscated, and if they want to avoid death, they must give up the merchant.

This move was done perfectly.

She is not really without humanity. In this world, anyone who is willing to contribute sincerely will have their record kept, and in the future...if she has a future, she will definitely repay them one by one.

Her methods were upright and although she gained a bad reputation, she established a great image in the hearts of the people.

People praised her as "the princess who saved the country!".

I don't know if it's flattery or what...

Coming to Yongzhou, the scene today is even more unbearable to look at than the scene by the Yellow River back then. It’s so heartbreaking!

As soon as Yu Ci and Hu Liu landed, they began to prepare to boil medicine and set up a medical stall.

The refugees are almost going crazy, they are so hungry that they seem to have lost their humanity. If someone gives them a bite to eat and they all unite, I'm afraid the whole building will collapse!

Have you ever seen someone whose eyes have turned green from hunger, who can’t even speak, and who is just skin and bones?

Have you ever seen groups of people picking up corpses on the roadside and taking them into the woods to cook them?

Even the dogs and cats were skinned and eaten, and the three states were in chaos.

Chu Jiangli's troops had been surrounded, but they still had a little fear of the imperial power and did not take action.

But when the fragrant rice porridge came out of the tent, I went completely crazy!

Eat! I want to eat!

Please let me have one more bite before I die!

Let me be a full ghost?!

He drew his Qingfeng sword and moved his feet mysteriously. After knocking out a group of people, he was able to gain control of the situation.

"The one inside! Is the eldest princess of Great Chu! Princess Zhaoyang! She came here to provide disaster relief at the order of the Emperor! She has been brought here from Shengjing for everyone, and has offended countless officials, gentry, and powerful people!

There are 700 carts of food here, and this is the vanguard! There will be 1,000 more on the way! Don't worry about going hungry!

The Great Chu has not forgotten us! The Princess loves the people like her own children!" Yu Ci used her charm to shout to the people around her.

The people around seemed to have heard it, and looking at the large number of carriages and horses, they calmed down and shouted "Princess!"

"Princess Zhaoyang!"

"Princess! Long live you!"

"Long live Princess! Long live Princess!"

……

How could a truly hungry person shout out? Yu Ci had those things put in there to create an atmosphere, and their main purpose was to calm the people.

But obviously the effect is good now.

Chu Jiangli was in the tent, looking at the fox who was shouting for her in the circle of carriages and horses, his eyes moistened, and he lowered his head and gave instructions to the servant in front of him.

Four porridge distribution points were set up at the east and west city gates. Since good millet was rare, wheat bran and rice were mixed in a ratio of two to one.

"Oh, right. Floods can easily lead to plagues. All the bodies need to be collected and buried quickly, and sprinkled with quicklime!"

"Also, put lotus seeds and other bitter Chinese medicines that clear heat and nourish the body in the donated porridge. This will not only help the people dispel the cold and recuperate, but also help those who have extra food at home not to compete with the refugees for a bowl of bitter porridge that tastes like medicine!"

"All bowls and chopsticks are used uniformly at each donation point. Refugees finish eating on the spot and wash their bowls before leaving to avoid getting porridge repeatedly. After all, how much can one person drink to fill his stomach? But if he gets porridge repeatedly every day, how much will he lose."

Yu Ci followed the method of giving alms from memory and added, "Someone must watch over the food, otherwise someone will come to steal it at night! The porridge distribution team also needs the fierce and strong Yunxiao Guards to watch over it. As long as it lasts for ten days and the people are at peace, we will be safe."

Chu Jiangli nodded with appreciation in his eyes and approved Yu Ci's proposal. The Yunxiao guards around him sorted out the general rules and started to implement them.

There were many people in the city who were not affected. When they saw the porridge, they also wanted to have some. The free ones were the most delicious.

When I got the boiling hot rice porridge in my hands, I couldn't help but feel complacent about my own cleverness, until the hot porridge took a mouthful and the bitterness surged to the tip of my tongue in an instant.

Bah! What is this?!

Is this porridge?!

It tastes worse than the worst medicine!

When the Yunxiao Guards saw someone vomiting, they immediately raised their knives and put them on their necks. "The princess is worried that everyone will get sick, so she bought lotus seeds, lilies... and other high-quality medicines at her own expense to add to the porridge. Don't waste them!"

You have to drink it even if you don't want to!

Several people held the bowls in their hands and forced themselves to drink. They put down the bowls and were about to leave, but were stopped again. The knife directly cut through a layer of clothes, "Wash yourself before leaving!"

On the side, countless refugees were washing bowls beside a flowing canal brought by a hydraulic windmill.

With the medicinal porridge to maintain their vitality, their complexions were visibly better than before, and they began to have the strength to speak and communicate.

"The princess is such a good person. I thought she was deliberately using this excuse to prevent us from having porridge, but I actually got to drink lotus seeds and lilies!"

"And there are also red dates!"

"Hey, although it's a bit bitter, my slight fever will go away after drinking this and taking a nap!"

"The princess is truly a living Bodhisattva!"

"Yes, yes, thank God that Great Chu has the Princess!"

……

Yu Ci drank the medicinal porridge with them, and after washing the dishes, she eavesdropped on their praises from the side. For some reason, she felt a sense of honor.

She smacked her lips and decided to use less bitter Chinese medicine next time.

Hey.

In the tent, Chu Jiangli hadn't slept for almost two days. Qingyu was not at home, and Yu Ci and Hu Liu needed medical treatment, so all the arrangements and treatments fell on her alone.

She had dark circles under her eyes, and her eyes were almost out of focus.

When Yu Ci saw this, she quickly pinched her neck, making her fall asleep.

As for what happened next, she took over the responsibility.

A candle was lit in the tent. Chu Jiangli rubbed his neck and woke up. He saw the man sitting in front of his desk, calculating the food expenses with his head down.

She lowered her head, her pair of fox eyes that should have been seductive were actually full of seriousness. There was a mole on the tip of her nose that was just the right height. It was so small that you couldn't see it unless you looked closely.

Chu Jiangli didn't know how to describe his current mood. Suddenly, he seemed to just look at the other person like this, forever and ever.

A serious woman is the most beautiful.

"Miss Hu."

"Hmm?" Yu Ci turned her head. "Why did you wake up so soon? You only slept for three hours. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Most of the things have been sorted out, and the only thing left is the arrival of Qingyu's food and fodder."

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. It's okay." Chu Jiangli came to Yu Ci and sat down next to her. He smelled a herbal fragrance on her body, which should be the smell of herbs.

It makes people feel at ease for some reason.

Yu Ci's body stiffened, and the soft trunk pressed against her. All of a sudden, all the food and fodder, and all the math calculations disappeared from her mind. The words on the account book twisted and turned into warm curves.

Chu Jiangli thought something was wrong with her, or maybe she was sick from exhaustion. He reached out his hand, but was blocked by Yu Ci.

"Your Highness, I...I'll go check outside."

The prey, who was good at escaping, escaped from the spider web again. She covered her heart, suspecting that she must have fallen into a trap!
