The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

"I am the Lord of Yanjing City. I am late in welcoming you. Please punish me, Prince and Princess!"

The Lord of Yanjing City led a group of people to pay respect to "Feng Junyi" and Xie Yiyao in fear and trepidation, and stole a glance at the group of black-armored guards behind them.

The mayor of Yanjing City, Zhang Zhongdan, felt that his heart was more bitter than that of coptis chinensis, as there was not much food in the city.

The weather is very cold this year and almost no crops have been harvested. Now the number of people freezing to death or starving to death in the city is increasing day by day.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess brought so many people here, he certainly couldn't let them go hungry, otherwise more people in the city would starve to death!

Oh, ever since he received the imperial decree saying that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess would come, he has been so worried that he couldn't sleep and his hair has turned white!

Seeing so many people around, Zhang Zhongdan felt that he could finally put to rest!

Xie Yiyao looked at the group of people who were pale, thin and haggard. There were more or less puddings on their official robes.

Her lips trembled. If the officials in Yanjing City were like this, wouldn't the common people be even more miserable?

Perhaps he saw what Xie Yiyao was thinking, the city lord Zhang Zhongdan explained with a tearful face:

"The land in Yanjing is barren and we can't grow any crops. Fortunately, Yanjing is close to the mountains, and the people go to the mountains from time to time to find some game to supplement their diet. Now that the weather is bad, it's really difficult to live in the city."

This is not the city that Da Deng focuses on governing, so life here is inevitably a little harder and colder.

After listening to Zhang Zhongdan's words, Xie Yiyao nodded with some understanding.

The population was sparse in ancient times, and Great Duncan could not spare the energy to govern remote areas.

Except for the capital, other places are almost all poor, but Yanjing is a little poorer.

In fact, the reason why she reacted so strongly was because she knew that Yanjing was Beijing, the capital of civilization for many generations.

She always felt that Yanjing should be the town second only to the capital of Dadeng.

So, it was a little hard to accept to suddenly see such a desolate situation in Yanjing.

However, since we are here, we might as well make the best of it!

Even if she encounters a natural disaster, so what? Hasn’t Xie Yiyao encountered enough natural disasters?

She is not afraid. Man can conquer nature. She doesn't believe that humans can only wait to die when facing natural disasters!

Even in the most brutal apocalypse, didn’t humans stubbornly continue to survive?

Since she has decided to find a way to move the capital of Da Deng to Yanjing, she naturally has to find a way to build Yanjing into a prosperous and livable city.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will have to live in this Dadeng for at least a hundred years. She certainly doesn't want to live in a deserted city with no food or water.

Building up Yanjing will not only allow the people to live a good life, but also make them live more comfortably. Why not do something that is mutually beneficial?

Zhang Zhongdan looked at the expressionless "Feng Junyi" and the thoughtful Xie Yiyao, and always felt that something was wrong.

But he couldn't say anything, so he had to bite the bullet and said:

"Please ask the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to follow me into the city."

Zhang Zhongdan was feeling very nervous. He thought that the prince would chop off his head in anger after he had brought Yanjing City into this state.

But a good cook cannot cook without rice. He has really tried everything!

But there is still no way to let the people in the city live well!

"Prince! Please save us!"

"Long live the prince!"

"Prince, please give us something to eat!"

"My Lord, God is blind. Please have mercy on us!"

"I'm so hungry, give me something to eat!"

"My Lord! My Lord, I kowtow to you!"

"so cold!"

As soon as Xie Yiyao entered the city, she saw pale-faced, ragged people kneeling on both sides of the bumpy dirt road.

A thinly dressed woman, shivering with cold, rushed to the feet of "Feng Junyi" with her child in her arms.

She kowtowed continuously, and the blood on her head dripped onto the dust, forming dots, but she was unaware and kept on kowtow.

"Prince, please, save my child! Save my child! Give him some medicine!"

"Feng Junyi" still had a blank expression on his face. He could follow the instructions given to him by Xie Yiyao, but in this sudden situation, Xie Yiyao did not give him any instructions, so he would not react.

Xie Yiyao quickly squatted down. In the woman's arms was a little boy about three years old, who was so thin that his bones were visible.

At this moment, her lips were cracked and her whole body was shivering. Xie Yiyao touched the little boy's forehead and it was so hot!

She quickly took out a fever-reducing pill and stuffed it into the little boy's mouth, feeding him with her water bag.

Maybe the little boy was very thirsty, he did not reject the pill, but instinctively held the water bag and drank it up.

Seeing this, the woman tried to stop her son several times. That was a nobleman's water bag, how could lowly people like them not be qualified to drink it.

But when she thought about her son not having had a drop of water for several days, she covered her face and couldn't bear to stop him, so she could only cry helplessly.

"Daniu's wife, get up quickly! Don't disturb the Crown Princess!"

Seeing this, Zhang Zhongdan wanted to pull the woman away, but was stopped by Xie Yiyao.

Xie Yiyao took a bottle of golden medicine and applied it to the woman, then wrapped her head with gauze, and told Liuyan to get a cotton coat for the woman.

The woman was so excited that she burst into tears and looked at Xie Yiyao at a loss.

Xie Yiyao smiled and said to her:

"Auntie, take your son home quickly. He can't stand the cold right now."

After Xie Yiyao finished speaking, she gave her two more fever-reducing pills.

"Just give him one pill a day, and he'll be fine after he finishes it."

The woman took the antipyretic medicine handed to her by Xie Yiyao and continued to stare at Xie Yiyao blankly.

In fact, she was ready to die the moment she rushed over, but she could only fight to the death.

There are no medicinal herbs left in Yanjing City now. If she doesn’t try once, her son will have no way out.

She thought today would be the day she and her son would die together.

I didn't expect that the noble man would not despise the lowly status of mother and son, and was willing to help them!

Even the common people on both sides of the road were stunned. They didn't expect that the noble Crown Princess could be so approachable!

They thought that the imperial court had long since abandoned the city of Yanjing and left them to fend for themselves.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came here just to dig out the coal, and they would go back after digging. They didn't care about their lives at all.

The reason I came here to beg today is because I have no other options.

"Princess, this is the wife of Li Daniu from the city. Li Daniu...went up the mountain to look for medicine for his son and fell off a cliff and died. They are the only orphans and widows left at home and are desperate."

Zhang Zhongdan explained carefully that he also wanted to give medicine to Zhang Daniu's wife, but medicine was scarce in the city. The child had taken several doses and there was no sign of improvement, and he was helpless!

Xie Yiyao looked at the people in the city. Many of them had obviously caught a cold and their faces showed obvious signs of illness.

This is a very dangerous situation. A large-scale collective influenza could easily develop into a plague in ancient times.

At this moment, Xie Yiyao secretly felt lucky that she followed him.

If a plague broke out in Yanjing City, given the level of superstition among the common people in ancient times, Feng Junyi would definitely lose his position as crown prince!

Although, she didn't know why Feng Junyi was willing to be the crown prince, but since he wanted to be the crown prince, she had to help him secure the position.

"Master Zhang, please give orders to have the people in the city who have caught a cold or have a high fever go to the gate of the Prince's Mansion to get medicine tomorrow. Also, please count the total number of households in the city. Each household can send one person to get one liter of rice tomorrow."
