The Princess of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 79

"Get up, let's go to see the dam with Gu first!" The prince still reluctantly took Xue Ning to go together. The closer the town to the Yellow River was, the more miserable the town was, and the more dead and injured it was. When he saw the broken Yellow River dam, , the prince personally asked the professionals in this field what to do, and after understanding the situation, the prince took them back.

"I have a general understanding of the situation. You guys should hurry up and work out a plan to repair the Yellow River dam, and then prevent the active men among the people from repairing it together, so as to prevent another heavy rain and a bigger disaster. The doctors will help treat the injured people together, and the doctors from all towns will also help together, and all of them are under the orders of Imperial Physician Sun, and Imperial Physician Sun will be in charge of this matter, with the assistance of officials from all parties." The crown prince assigns tasks!

"I obey the order!" Imperial physician Sun led the order and went down to work with the other two imperial physicians.

At this time, Fucha Wenhao came back and reported the situation of the food warehouses in various places, "Okay, the food in the warehouse must not be embezzled without authorization, starting with Zhang Zhifu, all the food in the warehouse will be handed over to the princess, and the prince will lead the people to do it well." Distribute it to the common people, and then temporarily let the common people in several towns near the Yellow River live here, gather together to recuperate their injuries, and benefit the work of the imperial doctor! I will lead you to personally take charge of the Yellow River embankment!" the prince ordered!
"The ministers wait for the order!" The ministers took orders.

The work started soon, Xue Ning counted the food, looked at the population of each county, felt that this was not enough, asked the prince to write to Kangxi immediately, asking him to send food, and at the same time dispatched food from neighboring provinces Food, and the imperial doctors are also busy seeing a doctor to disinfect and prevent the plague, and the crown prince led the ministers to discuss the construction of dams!
All the ideas are good, but as soon as they were implemented, the common people started to make trouble, why?It's very simple, medical materials are needed to see a doctor, and the doctors are unwilling to produce their own medicinal materials. Their own medicinal materials are used to make money, and the families of the young men who were dragged to build dams are also troubled. They don't want them to go, because they are afraid of danger. Second, my own home has not been built yet, and the people are blocking the gate of Zhang Zhifu's county government office. When the incident happened, the prince happened to take the ministers to discuss the construction of the dam. Zhang Zhifu quickly sent someone to invite the prince, the prince and the others When she got the news, she hurried back, and when Xue Ning got the news, she hurried out to have a look. When she saw that the people were almost like the guards in the capital, she kept shouting: "We don't agree to do this! Corrupt officials! What!"

Xue Ning was so angry that she almost whipped them, "Crown Princess, hurry up and go in, it's dangerous!" Zhang Zhifu hurriedly persuaded her.

Xue Ning walked out, "Stop it!" Xue Ning roared so that the people stopped!
"Slave sees the princess!" The guards hurriedly saluted, and the common people also quickly knelt down!
"Get up, have you had enough trouble? I don't know if they were corrupt officials before or how they treated the people, but I only know that they are good officials now, at least from the perspective of handling the disaster, they are competent Yes, but what about you? What did you do?" Xue Ning glared at them.

One of the old men who had reached the age was not convinced, "Although you are a princess, you don't know anything, so why talk nonsense?"

"It's the most fair thing for me to know nothing. You must think that we are protected by officials. Why should I control each other with them? The Qing Dynasty is ruled by Huang Ama, and they are all Huang Ama's subjects. I Why do you want to cover them up? Who are you and what do you do?" Xue Ning understood clearly that he was the one who took the lead in making trouble!

"Caomin is a local doctor!" said the old man proudly!
"Doctor? I think you are a person who sucks human blood without paying for his life!" Xue Ning snorted coldly!
The old man's face changed drastically, and Zhang Zhifu turned pale with fright, this time can't cause public resentment!Why is the prince still not coming back? "Even if you are a princess, you can't spout blood!"

"That's right, Dr. Li is a good man, he has done a lot of good things for the villagers!" The people all supported him!

"Good thing? I don't know what good thing he did before. I think it's giving medicine and giving medicine? What's that compared to today? The prince recruited doctors from all over the country and imperial doctors to treat the injured people, but they What? They are worried about how to get the medicinal materials for treatment? What about the money? Don’t doctors treat the living? They are so desperate, and you still help him? The house is destroyed and you are injured. Do they not accept money? ?Now the state calls them together for treatment, but they cause trouble because of their own selfishness, and you still help them? Is Dr. Li right? I think about it, if the injuries of these people are not cured Who is going to build the dam? It is raining heavily and the Yellow River is flooding, not to mention injured or dead. Why do you need those medicinal materials? Although my words are not nice, I must say that those medicinal materials are now for their treatment. Are you recovering from the illness? Or should you keep it and take it into the coffin? You have lost your life, what do you want money for? Is this the time for you to be selfish? Shouldn’t it be the time for you to unite as one?" Xue Ning said Every word hit their hearts.

The common people began to discuss and agreed with the Crown Princess's words, and the old doctor Li also felt ashamed, "I think the folks are all born here, and they all have deep feelings for this. I think many women and old people come here for their own sake. My husband’s own son doesn’t want them to go, he’s afraid of threats, he doesn’t want them to go, and his family also needs their help, but have you ever thought about how these guards can repair the dam as soon as possible, and how dangerous it is to repair it later? Some people may say , we can leave, we don’t live here anymore, but will it be okay if we leave? The Yellow River is flooding, who is pervasive, where can he escape? Besides, can you leave everything here and leave? When will you leave this place? What about life? Now is not the time to care about gains and losses, it is the time for everyone to unite as one. As long as there are people, are you afraid that you will not make money in the future? Are you afraid that you will not have a bright future? If people are gone, what is the use of all you are fighting now? What? Don’t talk about you, the prince and the others went to the embankment in person? Although I am the prince, I am also a wife, and I will worry about my husband too! The prince and the others are working hard for you, And what about you? Surviving the disaster is not something that a few of them can do!" Xue Ning was moved with emotion!
When Xue Ning said these words, the prince had already rushed back with the ministers and the migrant workers. Although they were not educated, they understood the truth, "That's right! What the princess said is right, now It's not the time to care about personal gains and losses, but the time to keep our homeland!" one of the people said.

Those migrant workers came over, and one of them knelt down to the old man in the rioting crowd, "What the mother and princess said is right, it's not that children are unfilial, but if they don't care about themselves at this time, who can help us? We just need to unite Stay tuned, you'll be fine!"

"Son, isn't mother worried about you?" The old mother burst into tears!

"My Majesty and the others have always cared about you, you should trust us and be united, shouldn't you?" Xue Ning comforted the old man.

"The princess is rude to the grassroots. The princess is right. This is our home. If we don't protect it, who will protect it? Son, mother will not stop you, but you have to be careful!" the old woman wiped. Wipe away tears!
"Thank you ma'am, they are going to build the dam, we cook at home, so that they don't have to worry about it, but there are too many of them, I can't handle it, can you help?" Xue Ning asked those young women!

"Of course, that's what we're supposed to do!" There were their husbands in there too.

"Then let's go!" Xue Ning took them to cook.

Those older women also followed in, "Although we are old and useless, the princess is still fine for picking vegetables!" They also have to contribute!
Xue Ning smiled and led them in, the others dispersed, the doctors also felt ashamed, they stopped making trouble, and obediently cooperated with the imperial doctor to see a doctor, the prince felt very sad when he saw Xue Ning like this Happy, she can always say something convincing, if he becomes the emperor, she will be a good queen, because she has the people in the world in her heart.

Xue Ning took them to cook together. Seeing the concubine cooking so skillfully, the common people changed their view of the royal women for the first time. In their consciousness, the royal women are all phoenixes. , but the princess is gentle, virtuous, generous and noble, and they really like such a princess.

And the crown prince led the soldiers, common people and ministers to build the dam together, and the crown prince also joined in himself. Although he can't do much, he still has this heart. It was the first time that the common people saw that the crown prince could endure such hardships, and they were very moved. .

On the other hand, after Kangxi received the memorial from Yinfeng, he quickly transferred someone to help deliver food, and also learned that Xue Ning was with him, so Kangxi was relieved!
Thanks to the efforts of Xue Ning and Yin Reng, Xue Ning's side distributes food on time and in an orderly manner every day, and the construction of the crown prince's side is also very fast. The people are not noisy, and cooperate obediently. They had enough food to eat, and their injuries healed soon. Those old people were taken care of, and the common people felt at ease. Volunteer to help, and at this time the troops and food sent by Kangxi arrived, and the people knelt down and cheered, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The crown prince asked the soldiers to build and let the people go back to build their own houses. After a month of hard work, all the work was completed and the houses were built. The people were very happy. The crown prince also asked Kangxi if he could reduce them this year. Kangxi agreed. When the crown prince told them the good news, the people were very happy. Kangxi also allocated a local storehouse of grain in case they needed it. The local officials were also very happy. Not much, but it can handle emergencies.

After everything was settled, the crown prince and his wife had successfully completed their important tasks and were ready to return to Beijing. On the way back, the common people spontaneously came to see them off, shouting: "The crown prince and the princess are a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

The prince and his wife were very happy. The big stone in their hearts fell, and they decided to travel to the mountains and rivers before going back. It only took a few days to come, but it took 20 days to go back. The people who told their stories all I know, the common people like the prince and his wife very much. With such a prince, their future life will definitely be better.

When Kangxi got the news, he was also very happy. His son was so popular. Kangxi looked at the throne he had held for nearly 48 years. Although he was a little bit reluctant, he was more proud. It's his pride, "Li Dequan has been the emperor for so many years, and I'm tired. I want to go out for a walk. Are you willing to follow me?"

Li Dequan has been with him all his life, how can he not guess his mind at all?The emperor wants to... "Slave is willing!"

"Well, when the crown prince comes back, you can announce the imperial decree!" Kangxi gave him the imperial decree, with a trace of reluctance in his heart, but no regrets!
But after the prince and his wife returned to the capital, they didn't expect that it was not Kangxi who greeted them, but his imperial decree, and the prince didn't expect to go out for a trip, and everything changed when they came back!
