"Girl, your ability to go to heaven and earth is truly enviable. You are so young but your instincts are so high that I really envy you." General Xiao stared at Kong Xiaoxiao with admiration in his eyes, and then he carefully tried to lower his head and look down.

In his vision, General Xiao saw himself flying like a bird across the crystal clear amber, the vast forest, and through the deep and steep valleys and canyons. What surprised him even more was that he could clearly see other rocks of various shapes and majestic waterfalls. At this moment, he felt a deep understanding of life.

"Your Highness, we two are extremely lucky this time. This kind of opportunity is rare." General Xiao said with deep emotion.

"Indeed." The great prince responded softly, and couldn't help but cast his eyes on Kong Xiaoxiao. It was undoubtedly a great blessing for the country that this woman was met by their Dafeng country.

Another hour passed, and the three of them had arrived above Changhai Mansion.

The eldest prince and General Xiao were both shocked by the tragic scene below. The city, which was once prosperous and where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, was now reduced to ruins, with dust flying everywhere, broken walls and tiles scattered all over the ground, and the scene was devastated, like a purgatory on earth.

"Are you two going to the provincial capital or Beihai County?" Kong Xiaoxiao asked.

"Let's go to the city first." said General Xiao.

After an incense stick of time, Kong Xiaoxiao and the two of them slowly landed in front of the government office of Changhai Prefecture. At this time, Prefect Zhang had just returned from outside. Counties and towns all over the country asked him for money and food, and his hair almost turned white due to worry.

"Where is Magistrate Zhang?" Kong Xiaoxiao said nothing, carried the two of them directly into the government office, and shouted loudly.

When Magistrate Zhang heard the voice, he looked up, but he didn't see anyone. However, he soon realized that the voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. So he immediately walked out of the lobby and came to the courtyard.

"Oh, little girl, it's you! You're finally back! How's it going? Did you deliver the letter?" Magistrate Zhang asked a series of questions in rapid succession, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Prefect Zhang, which question do you want me to answer first?" Kong Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly.

"Okay, come and meet General Xiao and the eldest prince."

"Ah, your humble servant, I greet the eldest prince and General Xiao. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you will forgive me." Magistrate Zhang was surprised, but he had to apologize.

"No need to be polite during special times. What is the situation in each county now?"

General Xiao pulled Prefect Zhang up and asked.

"Please follow me in, I will report everything to you one by one." Magistrate Zhang pointed to the lobby in front.

After entering the hall, Magistrate Zhang could not wait to report the current situation to everyone:

"There are three main problems we are facing now: money, food, and medicine! Due to the lack of medicine, many of the people who were injured in the earth dragon's upheaval have begun to develop symptoms such as fever or infection, and some have even died!"

General Xiao nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood the situation. Then, he told the plan they had discussed before:

"We have brought disaster relief funds this time. Next, we need to trouble Prefect Zhang to take quick action and issue several instructions to the counties. First, the county magistrates are required to separate the injured people, set up several rescue halls, and send appropriate doctors to treat them in time. During this period, we must do a good job of calming the people's emotions. Of course, please rest assured that the medicine and food will be distributed to each county within one day."

The second step was to gather all the civilians who were not injured and also needed the court's help and divide them into three groups. The first group consisted of strong young men, who were mainly responsible for rebuilding houses and clearing the streets full of ruins; the second group consisted of women, who were responsible for logistical support, such as cooking, boiling water, and taking care of the injured; the last group consisted of the elderly, whose task was to temporarily help take care of the children.

Of course, during this process, you, Magistrate Zhang, need to make it clearer when issuing relevant notices. You must make it clear to the people that anyone who participates in this labor will be rewarded with money and food.

The daily wage for young and middle-aged people was 20 coins and one pound of grain.

A woman's daily wage was 15 coins and one pound of grain.

The old man's daily wage is 10 coins, and the children are given half a pound of food a day."

"Does Magistrate Zhang understand the above?"

Prefect Zhang was stunned when he heard this, with a puzzled look on his face. He frowned and stared at the eldest prince, as if thinking about something. After a while, he finally came to his senses and asked with a hint of confusion in his tone: "Why is this year's disaster relief different from previous years?"

The eldest prince smiled slightly, revealing a kind of confidence and calmness in his smile. He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then patiently explained to Prefect Zhang in detail the method of using work for relief.

Prefect Zhang listened attentively to the eldest prince's explanation, his eyes flashing with thought from time to time. As the eldest prince spoke, Prefect Zhang's expression gradually became clear, and he nodded frequently, expressing his approval and appreciation for this novel approach.

When the eldest prince finished explaining, Prefect Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "Such a clever strategy is really admirable! Work-for-relief can not only solve the livelihood problems of disaster victims, but also promote the development of the local economy. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

The eldest prince blushed slightly and explained, "This was proposed by Master Kong."

After things here were arranged, the eldest prince and General Xiao prepared to go to the county worst hit by the disaster to take command.

Kong Xiaoxiao also wanted to go back and take the eldest prince and General Xiao to Beihai County.

The eldest prince smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Miss Kong."

The eldest prince and General Xiao were relatively calm this time.

The two of them took the initiative to stretch out their hands and let Kong Xiaoxiao hold them.

Prefect Zhang was left watching their receding backs, sighed, and resigned himself to his fate before getting busy again.

Riding the sword and riding the wind, they arrived at Beihai County in the time it takes to stick of incense.

Kong Xiaoxiao and the other two landed at the yamen.

"You two go in. I have something else to deal with. I will go to do my job after I finish it. This is a message talisman. If you need to talk to me urgently, just light it and talk." Kong Xiaoxiao gave the talisman to General Xiao and went to find Brother He.
