Marrying the dandy prince, the princess wants to usurp the throne

"No need to be polite. I'm just here to check out the situation. No need to be polite."

Mu Jiusheng looked at Chen Yongan and couldn't imagine that he would have food.

But looking at the small warehouse behind him, it looks like a place to store grain.

Chen Yongan probably also realized that Mu Jiusheng's gaze was directed at the small warehouse at the back, so he took the initiative to explain, "Your Highness, that small warehouse is where I have stored my own food over the years for emergency use."

He led Mu Jiusheng to the small warehouse, opened the door, and bags of rice and flour appeared.

This is what the people outside are fighting for.

“I have always been cautious, so I am used to storing extra things just in case, but I didn’t expect the disaster to be so serious this time.

These rice and flour may be enough to last for a day or two, but definitely not for a long time.

Now the relief supplies have not arrived yet, and I am afraid that once the food is used up, the people will really have nothing."

The people outside thought that he wanted to keep it all for himself, but that was not the case. Now they knew that he had food and could last for a few more days, but one day, the people knew that the food could only last for one or two days.

If the pillars of support in one’s heart collapse, more people may die.

Sometimes, people live by faith.

This belief is the little food left in his warehouse.

Mu Jiusheng fully understood what Chen Yongan meant. He was not a very capable official, but he was an official who could think for the people.

but……

"The relief grain is on the way. You can open the granary now. I promise you that within two days, you will get the grain you want."

Mu Jiusheng's words seemed to be a reassurance, and Chen Yongan nodded excitedly, "Okay, I understand, I will open the granary right away!!!"

He did not have the slightest distrust, as he had long heard of Princess Jinghe's ability to get things done, so if Princess Jinghe said she could come, then she would definitely come!

"Your Highness, Shangguan Yao..."

After leaving Chen Yongan, Bai Zhu said with some worry. After all, they all knew that Shangguan Yao would definitely do something naughty this time.

"When I was with Chen Yongan, I didn't consider Shangguan Yao's problem. Sooner or later, he will lose all his things. There is no need to consider it."

Mu Jiusheng looked grim, "Go find Shuang Jian and ask her to transport the food we stored in the God Killing Temple. Two days is enough."

"Your Highness, are you planning to use our own food?"

No wonder His Highness had been asking them to stockpile food. No one understood at first, but it turned out to be in preparation for today.

Mu Jiusheng chuckled, "It's just a contingency plan, it's not stockpiled specifically for Beili.

It’s also good to be able to use it in Beili now.”

Bai Zhu nodded. They had enough food stored, even comparable to the national treasury. So it would not be a big deal to use some of it for the people of Beili.

"Okay, Your Highness. Bai Zhu will go and inform Shuang Jian in a moment."

On the other side, after getting personal confirmation from Mu Jiusheng, Chen Yongan happily opened the granary.

The place that was originally full of public resentment suddenly became much calmer.

Everyone was wondering why Chen Yongan, who had been away from home for many days, suddenly opened the granary.

"Could it be that he has a change of heart?"

"No way. I heard that the imperial court sent people to deliver disaster relief grain a few days ago. It's on the way. Is it about to arrive?!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited.

With the disaster relief grain, won’t they be saved? ! ! !

Chen Yongan looked at the excited people, a hint of relief flashed across his eyes.

At the same time, he also hated himself for not being able to do the job, which caused the people to starve for so long.

He never blamed the people, because if he were a commoner, he would probably also be angry about why the county magistrate was unwilling to give them the granary.

"How's the situation in other places?" Mu Jiusheng asked Chen Yongan after seeing that the porridge shop was already open.

Chen Yongan frowned slightly. "It's not good. The situation in Pingwu County and Pingru County in the north is the worst. I sent people to investigate and the casualties there are the most serious, especially in Pingwu County."

Pingwu County is low-lying, so a lot of water has flowed into Pingwu County. Now, the people who can survive in Pingwu County have basically lost their place to stay. They have moved to a small flat land outside Pingwu County. But that land used to be a mass grave, with corpses and remains everywhere. In this environment, even people who are not sick will get sick.

This is also what Chen Yongan is worried about.

Mu Jiusheng nodded, "I understand. I will go back to Pingwu County to check the situation. You can organize everyone to collect food here first. Leave the rest to me."

"But Your Highness, the environment in Pingwu County, if you go there..."

Chen Yongan frowned, looking somewhat disapproving.

Mu Jiusheng is a princess after all, and the identity of a princess is different from that of ordinary people.

It’s not that Chen Yongan doesn’t love the people, but it’s hard for people living in this era not to distinguish between royal identity and civilian identity.

Mu Jiusheng shook his head, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"Your Highness is very experienced in this area, don't worry, and your Highness's ability is not just what you think. I promise that the flood in Beili will be quelled this time."

Bai Zhu's worship of Mu Jiusheng is mindless.

Mu Jiusheng laughed, "Okay, if I don't solve the problem as you said, can you still take my place?"

Bai Zhu stuck out her tongue and looked at Mu Jiusheng with sparkling eyes.

Chen Yongan was still worried, but after much persuasion, he finally agreed to let Mu Jiusheng go, but he had to bring his people along.

Chen Yongan brought out all his best guards.

He was worried that Mu Jiusheng might have an accident on the road, and then his heads wouldn’t be enough to compensate for it!!!

Mu Jiusheng had no choice but to accept it. After all, Chen Yongan was not young anymore, and she didn't want the child to lose sleep every night worrying about her life or death.

"Your Highness, have a safe trip!"

"Will do."

……

"Your Highness, shall we follow our previous plan?"

After leaving Chen Yongan's residence, Bai Zhu asked with a smile.

Mu Jiusheng raised his eyebrows, "I know you've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Of course not. If you stay in a place like the capital all day, you will become stupid."

White Bamboo Road.

Mu Jiusheng looked at the sky and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. According to Shangguan Yao's speed, we should be almost in Li County tomorrow. It's time to collect our things."

……

"Sir! Sir, please give me something to eat!"

In Li County, as soon as Shangguan Yao's carriage stopped, many refugees flocked in.

Although Li County is not in Pingwu County and Pingru County, it is very close to the two counties, so the situation here is not much better.

When everyone saw the car coming from Beijing, they felt that their savior had arrived.
