After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 38 The Princess's Responsibility
When Wan Ning woke up, she was already lying on the bed, and Wan Tao was tidying up beside the bed.
"Wan Tao, what time is it now?" Wan Ning rubbed her eyes, realized that she had asked the wrong question, and added: "What time is it?"
"It's almost Mao time. The princess has just recovered from a serious illness and needs more rest."
Wan Ning looked out the window. It was not yet completely light. Normally, she would never get up, but today was different. She quickly climbed out of bed and said sleepily, "No, I must deliver these things to the West Square to the disaster victims today. Rest and wait until this period is over."
"There are so many ministers, officials and soldiers in Chu State, why do you have to go there in person?" Wan Tao was a little puzzled. Why did Princess Le Yan, who had never cared about political affairs, care so much about this matter?
Wan Ning felt that as a modern person who traveled here, she had a sense of responsibility for the people here in the face of this disaster. Since she had some knowledge, she wanted to contribute her own strength and give her own light. In addition, by doing this, she could solve a big problem for Ziheng. Or she could use this incident to increase Princess Le Yan's influence.
She was not in a position to tell Wan Tao about these three options. After thinking quietly, she replied to Wan Tao seriously: "I am the princess of this country of Chu. Protecting this country is not only the job of those men, but also the responsibility of this princess. Since the common people of the world support us, we must not let them down. We must stand up when needed and fulfill our duties as a princess."
After hearing this, Wan Tao seemed to be lost in thought. However, she didn't know yet that these words would affect her future life.
"Princess, have some breakfast first. I will go with you after dinner."
"We want to go too!" At this time, Zhu Ying Shui Yue and others who were hiding nearby appeared together
After being surprised for a while, Wan Ning nodded and smiled: "Okay, you guys should eat more too, we will go out with the Wanxuan team later."
On the other hand, Ziheng was worried about the disaster relief issue.
Although the Nanye County government had transferred all its grain reserves, the amount was limited and only enough for a few days. Although he ordered officials to go to surrounding cities to borrow grain, he also knew that due to the impact of the war in the past few years, the grain reserves of several surrounding counties were just enough for self-protection, not to mention that there was enough to send for disaster relief.
The prosperity created by the brief peace was torn to pieces because of this incident.
What is more serious is that there are still people left behind in Sangcheng, mostly elderly people and children, who need food support.
From the people who fled the famine, we learned that the people of Sangcheng waited for a long time but no one from the imperial court came to provide disaster relief, and no one asked about their situation. So they gave up waiting for others to rescue them and turned to saving themselves. They planned several survival routes, heading to several wealthy places, and divided the remaining food into several portions.
Everything was originally planned, but some older people were worried that their legs were not convenient and they moved slowly. If they went together, they would definitely slow down everyone's progress. If they got sick on the way, it would be even more difficult for the young people. So they suggested that they let them go. They had lived enough in their lives. It was also a blessing from God that they could make such a sacrifice and give the opportunity to live to others at the age of death.
No matter how the young people tried to persuade them, the old men were so united and resolute that if the young people persuaded them again, they would jump into the river together.
In this way, the young people could not persuade them anymore, so they replanned the route to save more food for them to stay. Fearing that they would refuse, they only told them that they had only a few days' worth of food left, and hid the rest. They put the truth in a letter, and only told them that they had hidden enough food after the large group had gone far away. Some even left their own children at home to give their relatives the courage to live. If the elders saw these young children, they would naturally not leave them alone to seek death.
If you still have responsibilities to worry about, you have to live on no matter how difficult it is!
So the current situation is: the victims in front of us are only a small part, and those in the farther city of Sang - now they are all elderly, children and other people with limited mobility, and their situation may be even more dangerous.
Raising food is an urgent matter!
When Ning arrived at the West Square with the things she had prepared that night, the first thing that caught her eye was the rows of sheds - these were all hastily built yesterday under Ziheng's arrangement. The sheds were filled with neat rows of blankets, and I guess they spent the night leaning against each other like this last night. Although it was simple, it was also the most comfortable night in recent times.
The West Square and the Six Stars Stage are not far from each other, and there are now sheds in between. Last time, in order to find Mr. Jiang, I pretended to be a dancer and danced on the stage, but I didn't expect to fall on the stage. It was Jiang Zhifan who took me down, and Ziheng carried me away from the backstage.
However, this time when she revisited the old place, Wan Ning wanted to fulfill her responsibilities as a princess. She looked around but did not see Ziheng. Only Fang Xiong was explaining something to the officials in the middle of the stage. At this time, Fang Xiong saw it, after all, it was hard not to notice the several large carriages behind the princess's sedan chair.
Fang Xiong jumped down from the platform in a chic manner, walked quickly to Wan Ning, saluted and said: "Welcome Princess Le Yan——"
The person who was talking to Fang Xiong just now was Wei Yu, Lord Wei. When he saw Fang Xiong's appearance, he immediately bowed respectfully, and then everyone bowed together. It was obvious that Wei Yu did not recognize her, after all, they had only met once, but Wan Ning remembered it clearly. The lottery of the Six Star Platform was originally in charge of Wei Yu, the county magistrate. It was also after Wan Ning's identity was exposed that Zi Heng secretly sent people to investigate the county magistrate's reselling of the Six Star Post, and then demoted Wei Yu to an official at the city gate.
Wan Ning imitated the way she acted in movies and TV dramas, posing and saying, "No need to be polite. I heard that the disaster victims from Sangcheng were all placed here. It's cold at night, so they may need more food and clothes. I specially collected some and will send them to you all as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. We are in urgent need of these items right now. You are worthy of being Princess Le Yan. You are concerned about the people's needs and the victims' concerns. It is a blessing for the people of Chu." Wan Ning was a little overwhelmed by Wei Yu's sudden flattery. If he knew that he lost his official position because of the princess in front of him, would he still be able to say such flattering words?
At this time, Fang Xiong noticed that there were several wooden barrels on the princess's carriage, so he knocked on them with his hands and found that they were full of liquid. Fang Xiong asked in confusion: "Princess, what are these barrels?"
Wan Tao helped Wan Ning get off the carriage, walked to the wooden barrels and motioned everyone to come closer, then opened the lids of the barrels. Immediately, a strong smell of alcohol spread in the air.
Fang Xiong quickly closed the lid, stepped back and explained to Wan Ning: "Your Highness, no one can drink alcohol during disaster relief efforts. This cannot be left here."
Wan Ning realized that they had done something wrong, and she waved her hands to explain, "This is not for you to drink, it's for disinfection. Sir Fang, please arrange for someone to watch over it and spray it on various places for disinfection to avoid more serious problems. Sir Fang, please also distribute these barrels of special drinks to the victims."
Although he didn't quite understand, Fang Xiong still did as he was told and called two people over to push the car down.
At this time, Wan Ning took out a large bag of salt from the car and handed it to Fang Xiong. Fang Xiong took it with both hands, looking left and right, not quite understanding it. The Princess Wen Ning in front of him often did things that people couldn't understand, so he asked: "Is this salt? At present, this disaster relief site only has porridge supplies, and salt is temporarily unavailable."
"Master Fang, this is not for cooking. I only have a limited amount of drinks. I'd like to trouble you to send someone to boil more water. After it cools down, sprinkle some salt on it. After the salt is stirred and dissolved, distribute it to everyone. This will help the victims recover. Also, you must pay attention to the hygiene of the area. Never drink unboiled water. In addition to food, you must also pay attention to hygiene. It would be best to build a new toilet and arrange for someone to clean it every day. No cross-contamination with food is allowed, and you must wash your hands before eating. Master Fang, with so many people gathered together, and if they don't eat enough for a long time, their physical condition will be poor and they will easily get sick. You must be careful in this regard."
After the explanation, although Fang Xiong was confused, he had more respect for the princess in front of him. He felt that he had underestimated this person in the deep palace before.
