Everything the queen says is right

The time for disaster relief undoubtedly flies quickly.

Under Ah Cha's leadership, the impact of the floods in the past few days has been gradually reduced, but the worry in her heart has become more and more serious.

There was supposed to be a famine after the flood, and she had even prepared food in advance, but now there was no trace of famine at all.

How could she not panic?

Just as she was thinking this, Zuoqiug walked in with a letter.

"Goddess, there is a letter from Beijing."

Ah Cha gently rubbed her eyebrows and took the new letter from the eldest princess from Zuo Qiuge.

"The left prime minister is coming."

This was her biggest feeling after reading the letter.

She placed the letter in her lap and sighed deeply.

In fact, her mood at the moment was also very complicated.

The princess in the letter made it very clear that it was the left prime minister who insisted on coming to the fiefdom to take over the affairs.

Of course she could understand the Zuo Prime Minister's intentions and considerations. Counting the time when this letter was written, it was estimated that the Zuo Prime Minister had already left the capital.

She was definitely not worried about the Zuo Xiang's abilities and methods of doing things, but what she was worried about was that famine would suddenly break out after the Zuo Xiang took over the affairs of the fief.

If another plague suddenly comes, she really won't have the energy to fight it.

She still didn't want to see the situation in the fiefdom worsen when Daxing was experiencing internal turmoil.

But now that it was over, she couldn't think of any other way.

Zuoqiug noticed her headache.

"Goddess, Master Zuo Xiang is coming. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Ah Cha shook his head.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's even good."

"But behind this good news is that our control over the fiefdom is about to gradually decrease."

"Normally, the fiefdom does not require too strict control, but I am worried that if we cannot understand the actual situation of the fiefdom in time and the left prime minister mishandles it for a while, I am afraid it will cause some new troubles."

After all, these are troubled times.

A little bit of carelessness can trigger the butterfly effect.

The consequences at that time may far exceed their expectations.

However, these Ah Cha didn't intend to say anything more and waved their hands at him.

"You go down first, and I'll think about how to reply to the eldest princess."

At the same time, the situation between the eldest princess and the left prime minister, whom she cared about so much, was almost a reappearance of the past.

That's right, the eldest princess once again took on the important task of seeing someone off at the city gate this time.

She now felt like she was almost becoming a royal concierge.

It's still the kind of concierge who specializes in sending off high-status people.

But complaints are complaints, and business still needs to be done.

"Prime Minister Zuo, I have been ordered by His Majesty to come to see you out of the capital."

The eldest princess put on her princess airs and deliberately pretended not to be familiar with Zuo Xiang.

The Prime Minister Zuo was also very cooperative and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, but I have nothing to repay."

"Please also ask the eldest princess to report back to Your Majesty on behalf of the old minister. The old minister will definitely manage the affairs of the fief well and share his worries."

Even the left prime minister himself knows this very well.

This is just the last time for him to make official remarks and flatter the Dog Emperor before leaving Beijing.

I'm afraid that by the time he returns to the capital from his fiefdom, the sky in the capital will have already changed.

Seeing that Zuo Xiang was deep in thought, the eldest princess coughed lightly and said, "Zuo Xiang, the materials accompanying you to the fief have already moved ahead. You can catch up later by speeding up your march."

Materials go first?

The corners of Zuo Xiang's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Princess Kui could think of such an argument.

The Dog Emperor ordered him not to carry too many supplies. The original decision was that he needed to be inspected before leaving the capital.

The inspection process was not omitted, but the inspection time was advanced. Before the emperor's manpower could reach the eldest princess, he ordered the inspection to be completed.

They even let the supplies go first on the grounds that their marching speed was slow.

Of course, these are not words that can be said.

Zuo Xiang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"Eldest Princess, please rest assured that I will catch up with the supplies as soon as possible after leaving the capital."

"Master Zuo Xiang is so loyal, it's no wonder that the emperor thinks so highly of you." The eldest princess said as she took out a token from her sleeve and handed it over, "This is how the emperor mobilizes your bodyguards for you. Prime Minister Zuo, just accept the token."

When he first heard what the eldest princess said, Zuo Xiang was a little confused, but the moment he took the token, Zuo Xiang completely understood.

He was sure that this token was definitely not the one given to him by the Dog Emperor.

To be more precise, it is true that the Dog Emperor gave him a token to mobilize his guards, but those guards were specially sent by the Dog Emperor to monitor him.

Those people were directly taking orders from the Dog Emperor, and he couldn't move them even with the token.

But the eldest princess took the opportunity to make a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and gave herself the token that could really mobilize her bodyguards.

For him, this is no less than adding more power to a tiger, and it greatly facilitates his plans after leaving Beijing.

So he didn't refuse and took the token into his sleeve without hesitation.

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty and the eldest princess for their kindness."

Seeing that everything had been explained, he said, "Prime Minister Zuo, it's getting late. Please take everyone out of the capital quickly."

Because time was urgent, when they made plans, they tried their best to have the left prime minister, a civil servant, ride the fastest horse and rush to the fiefdom day and night without stopping.

But that's not enough.

When Zuo Xiang turned around and was about to leave, the eldest princess suddenly spoke up.

"Prime Minister Zuo, Your Majesty has a few more instructions."

"Ok?"

Rao had some discussions with the eldest princess in advance, but Zuo Xiang was also confused at this time.

According to their plan, there is really nothing going on now.

"His Majesty asked you to take good care of the goddess's body after you go to the fiefdom. Don't let her work too much. And when the time has stabilized a little, you must return to the capital as soon as possible."

The eldest princess said these words in one breath, and the left minister guessed the whole story.

This is not the order given to him by the Dog Emperor.

According to him, it was entirely the eldest princess who was worried that the goddess would be stubborn and unwilling to return to the capital.

However, he didn't point it out and accepted it anyway.

"Yes, I will obey your orders and live up to your majesty's trust."

Everything was almost explained, but the eldest princess still stayed where she was.

"Prime Minister Zuo, I still have a few words to say."

She deliberately lowered her volume and spoke in a voice that could be heard by two people.

"I have already arranged for several young masters in my residence. From the teacher to the guards of Zuo Xiang's residence, they are all trustworthy people."

"As for your wife and Miss An, the emperor also ordered them to be received in the palace this morning. Madam is in the Queen's Palace now, and Miss An is at Concubine Chen. Everything is fine." Hearing that his wife and children have been arranged well, Prime Minister Zuo's eyes flashed with tears of excitement.

Compared with the treatment of working for the eldest princess and working for the dog emperor, the treatment is clearly superior to that of working for the dog emperor.

He made a deep kiss to the eldest princess.

"Thank you very much, eldest princess."

He was somewhat familiar with the situation in the palace, so how could he not know that the eldest princess was already considering the safety of his family to the greatest extent within her ability.

The Dog Emperor wanted to put his sons under house arrest in the house. The eldest princess arranged for guards so that they could go in and out relatively freely while carrying the Dog Emperor on their backs.

And his wife is already quite old. The dog emperor often hangs out with Concubine Chen, and his wife may not be able to cope with it, so it is most suitable to place him in the Queen's Palace.

As for Qing Ge, he is still in his prime years and can still talk to Concubine Chen. Even if the dog emperor becomes lustful, Concubine Chen can still protect her.

Everyone in his family got the best possible arrangements.

This time the eldest princess turned slightly to avoid his thanks.

"Prime Minister Zuo, why do you need to thank me?"

Compared with Zuo Xiang, who took the coffin and went to the fiefdom to take over affairs, had to leave all his blood relatives in the capital to dispel the suspicion of the Dog Emperor, and deal with the Dog Emperor at any time, what he did was really nothing.

She was able to achieve this just by using some of her forces in the palace, which pales in comparison to Zuo.

The eldest princess cast her sights on the coffin not far away, which was carried by sixteen guards.

"Prime Minister Zuo, I wish you a safe return from this trip."

"This coffin will not be put to use until a hundred years later."

Prime Minister Zuo smiled modestly and gave a final salute.

"Old minister, please retire."

This brief farewell ceremony came to an end.

The left prime minister rushed to the fiefdom as quickly as possible with his men.

But even so, by the time he arrived, it had already been a full day and a half.

Ah Cha had received the news that Zuo Xiang was about to arrive early, and was waiting for him outside the city in advance.

This time the roles were reversed and she was still not used to it.

This was how Tuoba Jun came to greet him who had just arrived in the fiefdom the previous time.

As a result, it didn't take long before things and people had already changed.

Ah Cha sighed, and a mighty material transport team broke into his sight.

Then, I saw the coffin carried by the left prime minister and the left prime minister coming out of the carriage.

"Prime Minister Zuo, you are here."

"Seen..."

Before Zuo Xiang finished the ceremony, Ah Cha supported him in time.

"Why should the left prime minister be so polite to me?"

"Since you're here, you'd better come with me to check the current situation in the city."

Ah Cha said and walked towards the city without giving Zuo Xiang time to refuse.

Zuo Xiang was stunned for a moment, then followed suit.

"Look, Prime Minister Zuo, the city has recovered a lot now, and the people have temporarily got rid of their previous panic about the floods and have rekindled their expectations for life."

Prime Minister Zuo remained silent and did not speak.

He has been in a high position for a long time. Although he has gone deep among the people to investigate the situation, he has never seen such a scene in his life.

The streets are full of mud-colored traces left after being soaked by floods, and the roofs are crooked. Traces of mud can be seen at any time even on the bodies of ordinary people walking.

It looks like a lifeless city after a disaster.

But he also clearly saw the people on the streets cleaning the streets on their own initiative, the smoke coming from the rooftops, and the smiles on the people's faces.

He finally understood the meaning of Acha's words.

"My Goddess, you are truly great for saving a city that has just experienced a flood to such an extent."

Being praised suddenly, Ah Cha was still a little uncomfortable.

"The Prime Minister is joking, this is just what I should do."

"Speaking of which, I have an interesting phenomenon that I would like to share with Prime Minister Zuo."

Her bright hand pointed directly at the lifeboats not far away, "Those are the lifeboats I ordered people to build before, so that the people can avoid them."

"Considering that the people might not be used to living there, I specially trained people responsible for maintaining order on each lifeboat, but none of these people were put to use."

"The common people all spontaneously and consciously became the defenders of order, making every lifeboat extremely harmonious."

"I'm also thinking that maybe this is the true meaning of improving people's quality."

From this incident alone, Ah Cha really felt a lot.

After listening to this, Prime Minister Zuo nodded repeatedly.

"The phenomenon mentioned by the Goddess, I have seen it before. At that time, I thought that this was the most critical point in social life. Unexpectedly, it has recurred again now."

"It's just that I don't know whether to say something or not."

Ah Cha nodded, "Prime Minister Zuo, please speak."

"I also hope that the goddess can give the people a certain space for self-consciousness in the future, and continue to take measures to improve the quality of the people, so that the people can be as autonomous as possible."

Ah Cha's heart skipped a beat and he turned his attention to the Prime Minister.

Only she knew that what the left prime minister said played into her own hands.

That's what she planned.

She smiled knowingly, "Then I'll ask Mr. Zuo Xiang for more advice in the future."

As she spoke, she brought Zuo Xiang to the granary they had temporarily built in the city.

"Prime Minister Zuo, this is a temporary granary that I specially ordered people to build temporarily."

"The amount of food in it is not much. It is only enough for the people of the whole city to eat for three days."

"It is said that famine is most likely to occur after a flood. Although famine has not occurred so far, it is still necessary to prepare for a rainy day."

"I'm about to leave here, and you need to properly dispose of this food then."

"In addition, I have several granaries outside the city. I have built a road specifically for transporting grain to higher ground. The whole city is heavily guarded."

"If there is an emergency in the future, the left prime minister can call in manpower from outside the city at his discretion, but..."

Ah Cha paused, and before she could finish her words, Zuo Xiang took over.

"What the goddess wants to say is that you should not be impulsive."

Ah Cha stared at him for several seconds, then nodded in confusion.

Zuo Xiang smiled faintly at her.

"The veteran has been an official for many years, so he understands this truth clearly."

"The occurrence of famine will cause panic among the people, and the existence of the granary will inevitably lead to people looting. Once the situation gets out of control, the order here will completely collapse."

"The existence of the granary outside the city must be kept as secret as possible. No common people can know about it in advance, and it must be ensured that it can be used to save the people in critical moments."

After hearing his explanation, Ah Cha breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"The left prime minister is indeed consistent with what I thought."
