The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou looked at Master Fu and said, "Teacher, I'd like to trouble you to write down the defense measures we just talked about on paper. Write a few copies and have them sent to the palace. I will then arrange for people to deliver them to various areas of the fiefdom."

When Master Fu heard this, his eyes lit up. "That's great. I'll go right away."

Thinking that he would miss some things if he stayed inside, Master Fu looked at Lin Che, the servant beside him.

"Go get some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and bring a table here to write down the defense measures the princess mentioned. Make sure you write down every word clearly."

When Lin Che heard about the mission, he said excitedly, "Yes, sir."

Shen Jiarou smiled at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Princess is joking."

Feng Jingyun came back alone and said, "Princess, I have brought back forty guards and asked them to guard the various checkpoints."

Shen Jiarou nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you've worked hard, drink some water."

Feng Jingyun took the tea handed to him by Zhang Zirou, and seeing that he was extremely hot, she fanned him vigorously.

"Princess, if you have any other instructions, I will do it immediately."

"Yes, we have built a shed to protect the guards from the heat." Feng Jingyun said solemnly, "This is indeed necessary. I will arrange it right away."

Shen Jiarou lingered in front of the door. "Is there anyone else in charge?"

"The slave is here."

Shen Jiarou saw a man in his thirties.

"Okay, you go and harness the oxen to the carriage, and have Nanny Wang ask the kitchen to prepare sour plum soup and mung bean soup, and then pack them in wooden barrels and take them to the checkpoint."

"Yes, I obey."

Shen Jiarou thought of her previous life, the epidemic that occurred from 1920 to 1922, and suddenly stood up again.

“Get ready to sew masks.”

Zheng Shutong asked in confusion, "Princess, what is a mask?"

Shen Jiarou was stunned. She had forgotten that she was in ancient times.

"Like a veil."

"This servant knows how to do, leave it to me."

Shen Jiarou shook her head. "You can't do it alone. We have at least one or two hundred people."

Zheng Shutong was surprised. "So many?"

"not enough."

Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong looked at each other in surprise. "Then...how much do you need?"

“It’s possible that even tens of thousands won’t be enough.”

The two men's eyes widened immediately, and Lin Che, who was recording, was also shocked.

"But let's speed up the sewing as soon as possible. There must be a need."

Zhang Zirou thought of the clothing shop and said, "Princess, why don't you send someone to the Pearl and Jade Pavilion to ask them to prepare some in case of emergency."

Shen Jiarou gave her a thumbs up, "Smart, that makes sense."

When the owner of Zhuyu Pavilion heard that they had to make 10,000 veils and 10,000 masks first, he was shocked.

"Did the princess really say that?"

The guard nodded solemnly, "I have delivered your message. I still have to go to the palace."

The shopkeeper saw him leaving quickly, and although he was confused, he still decided to gather everyone together.

"Everyone, put down your work, we have to quickly produce 10,000 veils and 10,000 masks."

The embroiderers were shocked. “What?”

“What is a mask?”

"Why do we have to rush to make 10,000 veils?"

When Xie Lianxiang brought the clothes back, she was surprised to learn that the shop had to rush to make 10,000 veils and 10,000 masks.

She quickly asked the shopkeeper, "Is it really the princess's order?"

The shopkeeper was also puzzled. "The man who came is the guard of the princess's mansion. I have seen him before. By the way, Miss Xie, I have to trouble you to send someone to inform the few reservations that we have to rush to make veils and masks first, so we don't have time to make clothes."

Xie Lianxiang realized that something was wrong. "Okay, thank you, boss. I'll leave the shop to you. I'll be responsible for the people who ordered the products."

Master Fu had already written twenty-four letters, and he quickly put them into envelopes and left.

"Princess, I have already written it. Please arrange it as soon as possible."

Shen Jiarou handed the matter over to Zheng Shutong and went to negotiate with the doctors herself.

"Dear doctors, there are a large number of refugees outside the city and in the suburbs. We need you all at any time. I hope you will do your best. The necessary medicinal materials will be provided by Princess Yongkang's mansion. In addition, each doctor will receive one tael of silver per day, including three meals and lodging."

When everyone heard this, they thought that refugees were a big deal, but they were also relieved when they thought about the princess's arrangements.

"Princess, we will do whatever you say."

"Yes, Princess, you are so young and yet you are still thinking about the people. We old guys have no choice but to do so."

Shen Jiarou was very moved when she heard their words and bent down to bow to everyone.

"Thank you, everyone. You can take a short break. We will start working after lunch."

Mrs. Bai was at home and was shocked to hear what the princess's mansion had arranged for someone to report.

"What, refugees?"

Their family also has land in the suburbs. Although not as much as those wealthy families, it is one of their family's assets except for the master, almost most of it.

"Quick, send people to the farm and set up guards at the checkpoint. We must not let the refugees destroy the food, otherwise a large group of people in the mansion will be left without food."

When the servant heard this, he was also shocked.

"Yes, ma'am, I'll do it right away."

Seeing that it was already past noon, Shen Jiarou was not even in the mood to eat.

"Teacher, do you think we should build a fenced-off road and send people to guard it? It would be best if it borders Yunzhou so that we can send letters to the mansion and the palace at any time, as well as transport vegetables, medicinal herbs and other items."

Upon hearing this, Master Fu looked deeply at the little girl in front of him. She was only eight years old, but she had such foresight that he was at a loss for words to describe her.

"Princess, you are right. But this is a huge project. Not to mention the materials needed to build the enclosure, it will also require a lot of manpower."

Nanny Wang held the sweet potato porridge and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally she expressed her thoughts.

"Princess, this matter is very serious. It is also a problem where we can find this person, and food is also a considerable expense." She didn't mention the money yet.

Shen Jiarou had a terrible headache and raised her hand to pinch her eyebrows to keep herself awake.

"There is no other way at the moment. I think this must be done. If many people die and the weather is hot, if the bodies are not handled in time, a plague will surely break out, and then medicine and food will be needed."

Master Fu pursed her lips and thought, "Madame Wang, the princess is right. This must be done."

Nanny Wang sighed: How could they let this happen?

"We are looking for workers. There are villagers nearby. The price is 20 cents a day. Food is provided. It shouldn't be difficult to recruit workers."

Master Fu groaned and said, "I think it's OK."

He thought of one thing: this matter was too big to let a little girl like the princess bear all the responsibility. As a teacher and an official appointed by the court, he also had to do his part.

"Princess, once this is arranged, have the guards act as stewards and bring horses to guard every ten kilometers to facilitate timely transmission of information. Also, if there is no permission to not pass our way, just say it is the princess and the minister's intention, so as to avoid delays."

Shen Jiarou was shocked. "Teacher..."

Imperial Tutor Fu raised his hand to stop her from speaking. "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself. If you are rich, you should help the world. I am an official appointed by the court. I cannot watch the situation get worse. The princess and I swear to defend the people until our death."

Shen Jiarou was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, but she eventually pushed the tears back.

"Okay, you are a good teacher. When this is over, you have to continue teaching your students."

Master Fu raised his hand and touched the princess' head, nodding solemnly, "Okay."

They are the ruler and his subjects, as well as the master and his apprentice. From this moment on, they will fight side by side.
