Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Zhu Qingqing and Wang Xiangdong took the carriage brought by Manager Yang and followed Manager Yang and the people from the yamen to Yucheng.

Yang Jiu took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat, and Manager Yang sat in the car with Zhu Qingqing and Wang Xiangdong.

Because there were not enough horses and the matter was urgent, no one cared about the difference between men and women at this time.

Although the rain has stopped, the water level in the river has not receded. Along the way, we saw flooded villages with only the roofs exposed. Some boats were salvaging in the river.

Some people also came down from the mountain, carrying the elderly and children and heading towards Yucheng.

The flood destroyed their homes, the weather was getting colder, and they could not stay in the mountains for long, so they had no choice but to seek shelter in Yucheng.

Shopkeeper Yang: "Oh, I didn't expect it! It's winter now, and there's a flood. The people are cold, hungry, and sleepy. They are really suffering."

Wang Xiangdong: "I think the government will handle it properly."

Shopkeeper Yang: "You don't know, the weather this year is very strange. There was a drought in the summer. It's not just in Jincheng Prefecture, many northern prefectures are suffering from severe droughts. Many places have no harvest... I heard that many people died...

Our city is better off because there's an irrigation canal just outside the city, with enough water to irrigate the surrounding farmland. So, we're still able to harvest this year. However...all the food from the city has been shipped north for disaster relief. After all, the capital is in the north... I'm afraid Yucheng won't get much help from the city...

Even if there is disaster relief, it is just a drop in the bucket! Now there is another flood, which is really adding insult to injury!"

Wang Xiangdong and Zhu Qingqing looked at each other and fell silent.

Zhu Qingqing frowned, thinking of the various natural disasters she had experienced in modern society. She knew very well the impact these disasters had on people's lives, especially for those in poor areas, which was a nightmare.

Wang Xiangdong looked out the window, his heart filled with worry. He knew the flood would have a huge impact on the local economy and livelihoods. He secretly resolved to do his best to help the people affected.

As the carriage continued to move forward, the scenery on both sides of the road became increasingly bleak. Zhu Qingqing and Wang Xiangdong felt heavy-hearted, realizing that this mission not only concerned their own safety, but also the stability and development of the entire region.

Seeing the two men fall silent, both with unhappy expressions, Shopkeeper Yang quickly said, "But don't worry, you two are my Yang family's benefactors. Even if we don't eat or drink, we will guarantee your safety..."

Wang Xiangdong interrupted him and said, "That's not why we follow the caravan. We're not worried about going hungry. It's just..."

He didn't know how to express his thoughts.

Zhu Qingqing took over and said, "It's just that we can't bear to see so many people suffering from the disaster. The people don't ask for much, just to stay warm and have enough to eat. Let them survive this winter and wait for the spring to come and there will be hope again."

Shopkeeper Yang: "Who says not? As long as we can survive this winter... My Second Master has already ordered that all the goods in the Yang Family Warehouse be donated."

Zhu Qingqing: "The Yang family is truly kind. If there were more wealthy families like this to support us, I think the people of Yucheng would be better off."

Shopkeeper Yang: "Don't worry, with my Yang family taking the lead, other wealthy families will follow suit. Even if some are unwilling, the county magistrate and the general will make them willing."

Oh, Wang Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhu Qingqing. It seemed that the magistrate of Yucheng County and the general were not the kind of people who stuck to the rules. They knew how to adapt and knew what was important.

Then this will be easy to handle.
