Double-faced prince and concubine

Chapter 318 Disaster Relief

"Second Brother, the time has come, it's time to set off."

Seeing that the two finally separated, Zhongli Jing felt like beating a mandarin duck with a stick, and rode his horse to Zhongli Ruixuan.

"Little girl, wait for me to come back obediently." Zhongli Ruixuan got on his horse, glanced at Xia Yueer, and galloped away.

"Second Emperor's Sister-in-Law, don't worry, I'm here, and I will definitely help you take care of Second Emperor Brother!" Zhong Lijing also said something to Xia Yue'er, and followed up.

Xia Yue'er waved her hand towards the team that was going far away, and turned back after watching the team go far away.

The disaster was worse than expected. The middle and lower reaches of the Dulong River were flooded, and six counties were affected. Wolong County and Qi County in the lower reaches were the worst. The houses were washed away, the roof and the contents of the houses were washed away, and only the collapsed walls remained.The victims who were evacuated in time were placed in places with high geographical location, and those who were not evacuated in time, many of them drifted away with the flood in their beds in their sleep.

These once-in-a-hundred-year floods have left countless people homeless and complaining endlessly.

Zhongli Ruixuan and Zhongli Jingfei separated to inspect different counties.I thought I could go back in half a month and a month, but it took two months.

The torrential rain stopped for half a month, and the flood just receded, and it rained continuously for more than ten days, and the second wave of flood came one after another.

Zhongli Ruixuan was busy appeasing and transferring refugees, transporting supplies for disaster relief, dispatching troops there, and commanding the troops for disaster relief. He was as busy as a spinning top every day.

Xia Yue'er held her swollen belly, waited left and right, and waited day after day, but Zhongli Ruixuan did not come back, and kept asking people to inquire about the situation.

When the letter comes back, she can't wait to open it to see what's new.

"Princess Yue, what is the current situation in the south?" Fang Siyuan saw Xia Yue'er reading the letter, her brows were frowned, and she couldn't help asking.

This letter was not written by Zhongli Ruixuan himself, it was written by a servant Xia Yueer called to inquire about the situation.

"The letter said that the prince is all well. Now there is a shortage of food and daily necessities. The prince has ordered the nearby counties and counties that have not been affected by the disaster to open official warehouses to release food, temporarily solving the food problem. He also used military tents to resettle refugees. Now there is a shortage. What is needed is daily necessities, and the prince is trying to solve this problem."

"Good day, why is there such a flood!" Fang Siyuan sighed.

Xia Yue'er saw Zhongli Ruixuan working day and night in the disaster area ahead, it's not a problem for her to be idle all day, she has to do something for him.Isn't there a shortage of supplies now, then she will help him raise supplies.

Xia Yue'er immediately wrote again, asking what was lacking now, and then she thought, what is most lacking in the disaster area are food, tents, clothes, medicines and so on?

"Director Fang, please go and gather all the people in the mansion together. I have something to tell everyone." Xia Yue'er immediately had a plan in mind.

Fang Siyuan gathered all the servants in Prince Rui's mansion, Xia Yueer ordered everyone, except the cooks in the kitchen, everyone else temporarily put down their work and went out with her to collect donations for disaster relief.

Of course, Prince Rui's Palace had to take the lead in donating, Xia Yueer was the first to donate a lot of clothes, and the servants of Prince Rui's Palace responded one after another.

Soon, in the busiest part of Fulin City, a fundraising site appeared, with banners such as "When one party is in trouble, all parties support" and "Blood is thicker than water", and distributed leaflets, calling on everyone to take out old clothes and donate to the charity. disaster area.

Xia Yueer still had a big belly, so she visited various pharmacies in person, asking for advice on what medicines would be needed after the flood, and then persuaded the pharmacy owner to donate medicines.

On the civil bulletin board, there were big notices one after another, stating who and who donated what and how much.Seeing the notice, people donated what they could donate at home.

The clothes received that day were packed in the evening and sent to the disaster area.

"Second Emperor's Wife, is this okay?" Shi Qingcheng also came to help, but she had never seen such a way of raising donations, and she was a little skeptical.

"It seems to be okay, as much as you can raise." Xia Yue'er also knew that the amount of donations raised in Fulin City alone was pitifully small.

Xia Yue'er thought again, at least she is a sixth-rank official now. This official position is famous, so there is no need to use it for nothing.

So I went to Cheng Ziyi, who was more familiar with the relationship, and asked him what countermeasures he had.Cheng Ziyi felt that Xia Yueer's method of raising donations for disaster relief was feasible and could be implemented in all counties and counties that were not affected by the disaster.Cheng Ziyi asked Xia Yue'er to write a memorial in her name and present it to the emperor in court, and then he would add fuel to the flames.

Eunuch Gao Yuanqing read the urgent report from the south, and the situation was similar to what Xia Yueer received in the letter. The emperor looked at the ministers and asked, "The six counties in the south are seriously flooded. What's the countermeasure, my love?"

The flood came as soon as it was said, and it was unprecedentedly serious, and the emperor was also very headache these days.

After the ministers looked at each other, the Prime Minister of the Left, Wei Chi Zhenghe, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in the disaster-stricken area in the south, Prince Rui and Prince Jing are commanding the township. They have moved to appease the refugees and opened the official storehouse to release food. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it. Wait until the flood recedes."

Because she was pregnant, the emperor gave her a seat, and Xia Yueer, who was sitting on the side, cast a contemptuous glance at Yuchi Zhenghe, the official left chancellor, who actually talked about such a serious matter as if it was nothing!

Huo Wentian, the right chancellor, also stood up and said: "Yuchi Zuo Chancellor, this statement is wrong. As the emperor of a country, the people are suffering from disasters. The emperor should go to the disaster area in person to appease the hearts of the people, so as to show that the emperor loves the people like a son."

As soon as this topic was opened, it became a matter of whether the emperor should go to the disaster area to condolences. Some agreed that the emperor should go to the disaster area in person, and some said that there was no need to go.

The emperor has already sent the two princes, Prince Rui and Prince Jing, to go. He himself felt that there was no need to go again, but the officials were arguing endlessly. He looked at Xia Yueer who was sitting on the side without saying a word. She came to the court suddenly today, definitely not Those who came to see the excitement must have something to report, so they asked: "Princess Rui, you are a miraculously talented woman of our dynasty, what's your opinion?"

Only then did Xia Yue'er stand up respectfully, walked to the group of officials and said, "Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

"Present." The emperor was a little excited when he saw Xia Yue'er took out the memorial.After the Empress Dowager was buried, he saw Xia Yueer for the first time, and it was also the first time Xia Yueer wrote a memorial for him, and it was still presented to him in the court!

Gao Yuanqing went to take the memorial from Xia Yueer and presented it to the emperor.The emperor opened it, read it carefully, and nodded repeatedly.After closing the memorial, he looked at Xia Yueer and said, "I also heard that Princess Rui called for donations of clothing and medicine in Fulin City yesterday to send to the disaster area. Although Princess Rui is a woman, she is so enthusiastic and worthy of admiration!"
