Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Besides, during the previous locust plague, if Li Mengyue hadn’t led an army of ducks to kill the locusts, the entire Wuning County would have been devastated by the locusts.

County government study.

Yang Zhijin looked at the person sitting above him. He didn't expect that his good friend would find this place.

Come to think of it, they haven't seen each other for a long time.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time and should have caught up on the old times, but after hearing the news from his good friend, he knew he would be busy next.

After finally eliminating all the locusts, he had no time to rest before he had to resettle the victims. He didn't even have time to catch his breath.

But he was not averse. The reason why he chose to come to Wuning County and serve as a small county magistrate was that he wanted to do something practical for the people.

"Ruiyuan, are there really more than 400,000 refugees from Guangping Prefecture heading north?"

Xie Ruiyuan nodded and said, "Zhi Jin, I believe you also know that there are many refugees from the locust plague in Yongkang. According to preliminary estimates, the number of refugees from the two prefectures combined is at least one million."

Even though Yang Zhijin was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard this number.

Millions of refugees heading north is no small matter.

If it is not handled properly, public resentment will arise. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, the common people will suffer.

But it is definitely not easy to settle all of these refugees.

Apart from anything else, food consumption is not a small number.

Although there is grain in the government granaries, the amount is too little. If the granaries are opened to release the grain, it will not last for many days.

"Ruiyuan, all the memorials I submitted were intercepted."

"Don't worry, my father has issued an order, giving me full responsibility for disaster relief."

Hearing this, Yang Zhijin immediately felt relieved.

"Whoo~"

But in an instant his brows furrowed again.

He didn't know it before, but since he became the magistrate of Wuning County, he specially studied the national conditions of the entire Great Zhou and found that it was not optimistic.

He didn't know how much tax was collected each year in different places, but he was sure it wasn't too much.

In addition, many wars of varying sizes were fought in recent years, which consumed a lot of national strength, and the treasury is definitely not full.

Under such circumstances, the emperor handed the disaster relief task over to his good friend, and he couldn't help but cast a "sympathetic" look at his friend.

Facing Yang Zhijin's burning gaze, Xie Ruiyuan couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

"If you don't want your eyes, I can dig them out for you."

Yang Zhijin had just taken a sip of tea, and when he heard this, he spat it out and choked and coughed.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

He didn't dare to take his friend's words as a joke, because his friend in the capital would kill people if they disagreed with him.

There was a beautiful lady who wanted to have a chance encounter with her best friend, but before the lady who admired her best friend could meet her friend, she was kicked away.

He showed no mercy to the delicate young lady, so he couldn't expect his friends to be polite to him.

"Ruiyuan, to be honest, you know the situation in the country. How can we provide disaster relief without food and money?"

Xie Ruiyuan knew that Yang Zhijin was telling the truth, and he was also a little troubled by his father's decision.

Although he had been favored by his father since he was a child, it also brought him countless dangers.

Even so, he didn't think his father did it on purpose, or was using him as a whetstone for the eldest and fourth princes.

After all, he could clearly feel his father's love for him. The eldest and fourth sons were extremely envious every time they saw him.

Of course, he was not afraid that being favored would bring him danger.

Because he knew since he was a child that his father was going to pass the throne to him, he regarded the difficulties he was currently experiencing as a kind of training.

But sometimes he was speechless when it came to the matter of the disaster victims this time. For example, his father sent him a secret letter directly, telling him that he did not need to return to Beijing and could go back when the matter was resolved.

However, it did not mean that they did not provide him with any support. They still sent him 500,000 kilograms of grain.

Although it's not much, it can relieve some of his pressure.

In fact, even if there was no secret letter, he would not go back. Millions of refugees must be resettled, otherwise the Great Zhou might be overthrown, which was not what he wanted to see.

Another point is that his father had made it clear to him in the secret letter that once the affairs of the disaster victims were dealt with, he would appoint a crown prince after he returned.

“Just because the national treasury is out of food and the government warehouses are out of food doesn’t mean there is really no food.”

Yang Zhijin didn't quite understand what he said at first, but he understood something in a flash.

But he also knew that when the time came, extraordinary measures would have to be taken.

"I heard that the reason the locusts were eradicated was related to a girl."

Yang Zhijin looked at Xie Ruiyuan. He didn't know what his friend meant by that.

After all, with my friend's ability, if I want to know something, I can just give him an order and someone will organize the information clearly.

The locust plague was such a serious matter, he didn't believe that his good friend didn't know about it.

But why bother asking?

He already had a good impression of Li Mengyue, and the fact that she helped seven counties to eliminate locusts made him look at her with new eyes. He felt that Li Mengyue was more capable than many men.

If Li Mengyue was a man, he believed that they would definitely become friends.

"Why, is there something you can't tell me?"

"how come."

Yang Zhijin thought about it and decided to tell the story of how he met Li Mengyue and how they worked together to kill the locusts.

As Xie Ruiyuan listened to Yang Zhijin's praise of Li Mengyue, his expression became increasingly uglier.

Yang Zhijin had been keeping an eye on Xie Ruiyuan, and was startled when she saw her friend looking so bad.

But he thought again and realized that he didn't say anything out of line. He just expressed his opinion of Li Mengyue.

What Yang Zhijin didn't know was that it was precisely because of his objective evaluation, without any personal feelings, that Xie Ruiyuan was angry.

I provoked him and got pregnant with his child, but I still have no self-awareness and keep messing around with other women.

Seeing that every word Yang Zhijin said was praising Li Mengyue, he was not happy at all.

Because he understands that a man's interest in a woman is a prelude to being attracted to her.

As long as the man keeps focusing his attention on the woman, he will gradually fall in love with her over time.

How can a single guy like him know so much? It must be because he has experienced it himself.

A few months ago, when he was raped by Li Mengyue, after waking up, he wanted to tear Li Mengyue into pieces immediately.

However, he sent out countless people to look for it, but they couldn't find it.

Later, by chance, I met Li Mengyue.

But Li Mengyue at that time was different from when I first met her. There was no wound on her face.

Only then did he understand why they couldn't even find a woman after mobilizing so many people.

When he found Li Mengyue, he still wanted to kill her, but somehow he changed his mind.

What he didn't expect was that Li Mengyue's medical skills were not inferior to those of Doctor Luo Shen.

No, to be precise, his medical skills are even better than Doctor Luo’s.

After all, even Doctor Luo Shen couldn't cure the cold poison in his body, and he couldn't even suppress it as well as Li Mengyue.
