Xiao Mo said to Xiao Yi who was on the side: "You take Zhuzhu to the restaurant first, and I'll go and invite Mr. Xie and Mr. Wu!"

"it is good!"

After Xiao Mo left, Shi Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Yi said, "Xiao Wu is not an ignorant person, don't worry, he won't do anything out of line again."

Shi Luo was still worried, when he arrived at the restaurant, Shi Luo had a table by himself, Xiao Mo and Xiao Yi naturally wanted to accompany the two adults to eat together, the group quickly finished their meal, and then set off again, during which Xiao Mo just Came over to take a look, told Ruhua to take good care of the princess and left.

Picturesquely said: "The Fifth Highness is not the same as before!"

Shi Luo asked, "What's different?"

Ruhua said: "Naturally, it has become better and more stable."

Shi Luo smiled and didn't say a word, if something abnormal happened, she must be a demon, Xiao Mo's changes were too fast and thorough, she always felt uneasy.

However, it is also possible that it was really the effect of Hanshisan before, which is hard to say.

In the evening, the carriage arrived at the post station. After driving all day, Shi Luo was tired after all, so he had a good night's sleep.

Two days later, they arrived at the border between South Vietnam and Dazhou, and the team stayed here for half a day for supplies.

Xiao Yi said: "When you leave Chunxi Town, you will arrive at Dazhou."

He gave Shi Luo a meaningful look, as if he had something to say, but Shi Luo only looked ahead and didn't see it.

It's finally big week.

Shi Luo is in a good mood.

Half a day later, the team set off again, and the official roads of Dazhou were also very smooth, so it was not difficult to walk, there were post stations along the way, and the accommodation was not bad. Don't care about these.

But a few days later, she found something was wrong. After all, this season is the autumn harvest time, but the farmland on the road is desolate, and occasionally met a few common people, and they were all dressed in tatters and weak. They looked very uncomfortable. it is good.

This doubt continued for another day, and Shi Luo finally realized that something was wrong.

She went to find Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi then said: "Da Zhou encountered a severe drought that had not happened in a century this year, and there was no harvest in Huizhou. The imperial court allocated 30 taels of relief money, but there was not much left in the hands of the people. The emperor beheaded a few. Corrupt officials, but everyone knows that those few are small moths, scapegoats. People died, and the money was not recovered. Therefore, many people died in Dazhou this year, so some victims rioted, but the court only sent troops The suppression and riots have subsided, but they have also lost popular support. If this continues, more people will die in Huizhou this winter!"

Shi Luo was dumbfounded by Xiao Yi's few words.

She didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Da Zhou in just one year.

"Then South Vietnam borders Dazhou, isn't part of South Vietnam also suffering from severe drought?" Shi Luo asked.

Xiao Yi nodded: "However, we have enough food, and all the money is in the hands of the common people."

Shi Luo was startled, she didn't know these things.

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "What do you think your third brother is busy with every day? The legal system in South Vietnam is strict, and the crime of corruption is very serious. In addition, the money we give officials is based on their political achievements. If they have made meritorious service, they will be rewarded and returned. Will be promoted, of course there must be corruption, but as long as you don’t have enough brains, you won’t embezzle disaster relief money.”

After he finished speaking, he continued: "When the ancestor was around, the beloved concubine gave many good suggestions and built a lot of dams, flood and drought were not a problem, so no matter what happens, we Nanyue are not afraid. "

Shi Luo nodded, although he knew that his father and brother were very capable, he never expected to be so capable.

Compared with Da Zhou, the royal family is rotten and only cares about power. I don’t know how much better it is. Take Concubine Shu as an example. Although they are not compatible with the queen, the Zhang family will not do anything that will damage the country’s foundation. matter.

"The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed..." Shi Luo remembered that Liu Dazhu was dragged to death by Li Ruyan behind the horse just because he startled a horse.

And the Wei family, not to mention that Wei Xiao didn't rebel, even if he rebelled, he wouldn't have killed so many people.

Xiao Yi said as if he guessed what she was thinking: "Nanyue has amended the criminal law and will not be convicted easily. Things like the Wei family will not happen. Otherwise, the Zhang family would have been destroyed by the emperor more than ten years ago."

Shi Luo nodded, and then she looked at Xiao Yi: "Do you want me to persuade Wei Congxi?"

Xiao Yi shook his head: "No, no one wants to have a war in a peaceful and prosperous world, but they feel that the foundation of Da Zhou is already broken, and I'm afraid it won't last long without our hands. The elder brother just wants him to go another way, and you You see, Nanyue is very capable."

Shi Luo sighed: "Let me think about it, treason is not a small crime!"

Xiao Yi said: "This is just following the trend of history!"

Shi Luo tilted his head, the historical trend is simply too far ahead.

Xiao Yidao: "The ancestor Chongfei said, we saw it in the library when we were young, and the elder brother thought it was right, so he let us all read it."

That beloved concubine is definitely a time traveler.

Shi Luo admired her very much. Her own efforts had such a profound influence on Nanyue.

After the two talked, the team set off again. On the way, they encountered many disaster victims. Most of them were pale and emaciated, dying, and the bark and grass roots on the roadside were almost eaten.

Some villages are completely wiped out.

Seeing it, Shi Luo felt uncomfortable.

Not to mention her, the people from the South Vietnam Mission also looked uncomfortable, and felt even more grateful that they were born in South Vietnam, and South Vietnam also suffered a disaster, but it was a different situation.

These people are even more grateful to His Majesty the Prince, and it is the blessing of the people to have a wise king.

A few days later, Shi Luo and the others arrived in Lucheng of Dazhou. The situation here is relatively better, but only relatively.

Many refugees flooded into the city, lacking food and clothing, and some of them starved to death. What the government officials could do was to carry the corpses out of the city and bury them, so as to avoid the plague in a few days.

The South Vietnamese mission also tried its best to save food and clothing, and distributed food to the refugees.

The prefect of the city, Shi Pan, was a middle-aged man, lean and capable, with a sad face, and his attitude towards the South Vietnamese mission was neither humble nor overbearing, neither warm nor cold.

After the mission moved into the post house, Prefect Shi sent someone to bring food, but there were some chickens and ducks, probably one of the few in stock in the city.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Mo sent someone to tell Shi Luo, and Shi Luo readily agreed.

So the mission returned most of the food back.

Shi Taishou was shocked when he received the returned food, because it was not only rice, but also the only chicken and duck.

"This...His Royal Highness and the Princess are distinguished, why..." Prefect Shi really didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yi said: "Your Majesty Shi, you are welcome. The children of my Xiao family in Nanyue did not grow up delicate. What's more, the land is difficult now. How can the eunuch work so hard to receive us? When we came, we brought enough food. Prefect emergency!"

Xiao Yi was very polite.

Prefect Shi's eyes were red, listen, the people of Nanyue know that the people are suffering, but what about the officials and royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty?Not long ago, he received the inspectors who just arrived. Either he thought the food was not good, or he felt that the living room was not comfortable enough, and he didn't pay attention to the people at all.

The people outside were all starving to death, and they were still talking about pomp and singing every night.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
