After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

The water in these small ditches slowly gathered together and then flowed into the moat surrounding the city.

You have to know that after the heavy snowfalls before the New Year, there was a lot of snow left over, which caused the water level in the moat to rise rapidly.

However, the Xu family has no official position now. Even if they are worried about the rain, there is nothing they can do. They can only pray that people in the court will find a way to deal with it.

Another crop of crops has been harvested in Yuxiu's space. Xu Qinghe has learned how to use all the machines. He is full of energy and does not feel any fatigue at all.

As soon as the harvest was completed, he was thinking about planting another batch of crops, determined not to let such fertile land go to waste.

Yuxiu and Cui did not stop him and let him busy himself with planting and harvesting while they began to tame the eagles.

Because the eagles are very human-like and have drunk the spiritual spring water, taming the eagles is just a matter of giving them some simple instructions and they will learn quickly.

Anyway, there was plenty of spiritual spring water, and Yuxiu was not stingy. As long as they did something right according to her instructions, she would reward them with a sip. This made the eagles very happy and they kept circling around them.

Cui got inspiration from this and soon made a kind of meatballs that eagles liked to eat.

These meatballs are made with spiritual spring water and some medicinal herbs. The two little eagles in particular enjoy eating them even more.

The Xu family lived a very leisurely life, but just as they worried, the people outside did not live so well.

After seven or eight days of heavy rain, a mountain outside the capital city collapsed, and in almost an instant, a small village at the foot of the mountain was completely buried.

When such a major event occurred, the imperial court responded quickly and sent several capable officials to deal with it.

Although other villages were not buried, the villagers did not dare to live at the foot of the mountain. They did not care that the heavy rain was still falling and ran to the official road with their families.

As more and more people ran out, the heads of each village discussed it and decided to go to the capital together to seek help.

There was no other way. Even though they had run out of the house with most of their clothes soaked, they did not dare to stay at home any longer.

If you are sick, you can still be saved, but if you are buried, nothing will be left of your body.

They were not far from the capital, which was the capital of the emperor. There were many wealthy families there. Considering how pitiful they were, they should be given some alms.

With this belief in mind, all the people rushed to the city gates of the capital. Those with connections paid money to ask people to come out to meet them, while most of those without connections were blocked outside.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is very common. When the emperor learned about it, he immediately handed the matter over to Lord Yao, the Jingzhao Yin, and appointed several important officials to cooperate in order to ensure that these victims were settled.

It had been raining these days and no one in Yuxiu's family went out. It was not until Lord Yao sent someone to invite Xu Qinghe to discuss something that Yuxiu learned about this.

Because Xu Linzhi had already told him about the flood, Qi Siyuan's people had already made arrangements.

The ditches had been dug much deeper and wider in advance, so there was no problem with drainage. However, no one expected that some things could not be completely avoided even if the answers were known in advance.

After Xu Qinghe arrived at the yamen, he discovered that not only had Lord Yao invited him here today, but there were also many people at the scene who looked very familiar to him, and most of them were the people who had gone to distribute porridge to them last time.

When they met, no one was in the mood to exchange pleasantries. They just nodded to each other and sat down as arranged by the yamen runners.

As time passed, more and more people came in, and soon the huge hall was full.

"I wonder why the Lord is looking for us?"

"Who knows, but it's definitely not a good thing..."

"Don't talk nonsense, you don't know... that person today..."

Xu Qinghe sat quietly in his seat, and from time to time he could hear people whispering nearby.

Even though those people had lowered their voices to the lowest level, it was no problem for Xu Qinghe, who had been transformed by the spiritual spring water. He could still hear it very clearly.

But, who?

Who is that person?

While he was still wondering, footsteps were heard outside, and soon several figures walked in.

The leader was a young man in gorgeous clothes. There was a hint of arrogance between his brows, and he walked in front with his head held high.

The young man was followed by Lord Yao and others. Xu Qinghe looked up and quickly guessed the young man's identity.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Second Prince..."

Sure enough, after the young man walked into the hall, he was immediately recognized by others, who stood up and greeted him.

At this point, no matter whether others knew him or not, they had no choice but to stand up and salute the Second Prince.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Second Prince..."

The second prince Qi Siyu looked very kind and approachable.

"Everyone, you don't have to be so polite. Please stand up and take a seat."

Xu Qinghe's position was relatively far back, so when others saluted, he saluted; when others stood up, he stood up too. In short, he just followed the crowd, trying his best to ensure that he did not stand out or fall behind.

After a moment of politeness, everyone sat down again, no longer in a scattered manner like before, but all sat upright, fearing that they would be caught doing something wrong and be punished by the Second Prince.

"Everyone, don't be so nervous, just relax."

Seeing that everyone was on high alert, the Second Prince smiled and turned to Lord Yao and said:

"Master Yao, since the emperor has entrusted this matter to you, then you should tell everyone about it."

Now that the emperor had been brought out, Lord Yao had no other choice but to agree immediately. He stepped forward and explained the purpose of inviting these people here today.

By the time Lord Yao finished speaking, the place was completely silent.

They all understood it. He talked for a long time, but in the end it just ended with two sentences.

The resettlement of disaster victims outside the city requires everyone's participation. Those who have money can contribute money, and those who have food can contribute food. If you have no money or food, you can only help with your labor.

That being said, it all depends on everyone's wishes, but the Second Prince is sitting here, is there really anyone who dares to be so stingy?

If you are asked to contribute money, food or effort but you have nothing to contribute, then...are you afraid of being asked to bleed?
