Chapter 233 The First Prince
"Grand Concubine, Nanny is used to being busy, and she can't stand being idle. So, let Nanny continue to stay by your side."
The eldest princess was touched and said, "Mammy still cares about me."
Soon, the nanny took the eldest princess, who had just finished her meal, to the city gate to inquire about the news.
In the military camp, the eldest prince was also summoning his subordinates who had just returned from the second prince's fiefdom.
"Your Highness, we went to many places this time. Finally, we inquired with a group of refugees in the capital city and found out that they had indeed seen an old woman and a child fleeing famine in the capital city."
"After our careful questioning, we found that the old woman should be the nanny who escaped with the young master."
"As for the young master, the refugees said they couldn't see what he looked like. All I remember is that he wasn't very tall, very thin, and his face and hands were all black."
"The child's hair is very long and his face is dark, so we can't see what he looks like."
"They said the old woman and the child didn't have much luggage, just one bag. Every time they ate, they avoided everyone."
"According to the refugees, the child usually doesn't talk. Everyone has always believed that the old woman brought her granddaughter out to escape famine."
After listening to this, the eldest prince was silent for a moment, "Did you find out where they went afterwards? Which road did they take?"
"Reporting to the eldest prince, there was a refugee riot in the capital, and the government ordered the killing of many refugees."
"It will be difficult for us to find out the news about the young master later."
"Later, our people followed the refugees to the county town south of the prefectural city, but there was no trace of the young master."
"The worst thing is that human traffickers are rampant in that county. Many children have been abducted by traffickers."
"We have not found the young master yet, and we have not heard from the parents of the missing child that an old woman brought the child and then the child disappeared."
"I guess that Madam should have continued to head south with the young master."
"When the people I sent out came back, they found many refugees driving their cars towards Yunzhou."
The eldest prince touched the ring on his hand and said, "It's a good thing that refugees come to seek refuge. You will make arrangements when the time comes. The refugees have come. Make sure they are well settled."
"Yes, Your Highness. I will definitely properly accommodate the refugees who come here for refuge."
“Did your people find anything unusual on the way back?
"Prince, something unusual has really happened. There is a Shilin Town not far from us."
"Shilin Town is a very small town, and there is nothing special about it. The special thing is that not far from Shilin Town, there is a mountain village called Qingfeng Village."
"The bandits in Qingfeng Village basically grow their own food and vegetables on the mountain, and are basically self-sufficient."
"They also won't harass the people living down the mountain. They occasionally come down the mountain to exchange things that are not available on the mountain. But they won't force anyone to buy or sell."
"So, our people didn't go to suppress the bandits because the bandits in Qingfeng Village were relatively peaceful."
"If they are still so well behaved now, we should just ignore them for now. Now our main concern is to guard against sneak attacks from the Tianlong Nation."
"My Lord, two months ago, the bandits in Qingfeng Village were defeated by a group of bandits coming from the north."
"It is said that some of the bandits in Qingfeng Village were killed, and some escaped. The remaining bandits joined forces with the bandits who came later."
The eldest prince suddenly asked, "How many bandits were there later? What was their style of doing things?"
"Reporting to the eldest prince, according to the spies' report, there are more than 600 bandits. They are all young and strong. Their fighting power is quite high."
"And they have already collected food from the villagers at the foot of Qingfeng Village twice."
"It is said that when they first collected grain, they killed a lot of villagers to scare the monkeys."
"So when the second grain harvest came, all the villagers handed in their grain. Now it's almost time for the third grain harvest."
"The bandits in Qingfeng Village not only robbed the villagers of their food, they also robbed the refugees passing through Qingfeng Village. Anyone who looked wealthy was robbed."
"Have you sent people to Qingfeng Village to check? Are all the more than 600 people young and strong?"
"Reporting to the eldest prince, our people have confirmed it. Moreover, our people have discovered that the grain and core silver money robbed by the bandits in Qingfeng Village have been transported out by them."
"Have you found out where it was shipped to?"
"Your Highness, our people noticed the bandits in Qingfeng Village too late and missed their first two grain transports."
"However, the time for the next grain harvest is approaching. Our people will definitely keep a close eye on it."
"Okay, I'll definitely send someone to keep a close eye on them. In my opinion, the bandits who came to Qingfeng Village later seemed to be soldiers in disguise."
"As long as we determine where they transported the grain and money, the answer will come out."
"Yes, Your Highness. We will definitely send someone to keep a close eye on Qingfeng Village."
The eldest prince stood up and took two steps. "Also, are there many refugees passing through Qingfeng Village recently?"
"Replying to the eldest prince, because it is November now, and the weather is getting cold, so there are many refugees passing through Qingfeng Village."
"The bandits in Qingfeng Village don't rob poor people or refugees with small groups."
"Usually they rob wealthy families or large groups of refugees. Once they start, they won't return empty-handed."
"It seems that the bandits in Qingfeng Village are a big threat. We must eradicate them in the future. However, we definitely don't have time recently. The earliest we can do so will be after the New Year."
"Our people are all keeping an eye on the people from Tianlong Country. We really can't spare many people to suppress the bandits."
"Your Highness, today the spies sent us news. They said that the bandits in Qingfeng Village said that if the grain is not enough next time, they can use people to replace the grain."
The eldest prince asked in surprise, "Is the news accurate?"
"Replying to the eldest prince, the news is accurate. People in Shilin Town have been discussing this matter these past two days. Moreover, the government officials in Shilin Town have also colluded with them."
"Did the people of Qingfeng Village say what kind of people can be used to buy food?"
"My Lord, the people of Qingfeng Village said that both men and women can be used to exchange for food. However, they have to select the right person first."
"If the bandits in Qingfeng Village don't like us, we can't use them to buy food."
"How exactly does it pay for food? Did they tell us?"
"Our spies said that a man is worth 50 kilograms of food, and a woman is worth 30 kilograms of food. As long as the bandits in Qingfeng Village take a fancy to us, we can use them to pay for our food."
“So this is how you can pay for food.”
