Chapter 497 The Emperor's Son

"My minister will." Liao Wang responded and retreated out of the gazebo again.

The victims who drank porridge were next to each other. After finishing the porridge, they went to the side to get food and meat.

Someone prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone there, and recorded them one by one.

Because it was so cold, the ink froze, and the followers had to pour in some hot water.

Luo Ziyan walked over and sat down on the chair, "Come on, I'll write it myself."

"Your Highness—" the attendant showed a look of astonishment.

Luo Ziyan smiled, "It doesn't matter, I write faster."

Indeed, Luo Ziyan's handwriting was fast and beautiful, but soon his hands became stiff from the cold.

He had to rub his hands together before continuing to write.

At this time, an old man led a child over, and the guards poured food on one side.

The little boy looked at Luo Ziyan, "Brother, you wear a fur glove."

Luo Ziyan smiled, and looked at him, "No need, brother, it's faster for brother to write like this."

The child lowered his head and thought for a while, then took out a black object from his worn pocket, "Big brother, this is medicine, it can cure chilblain."

Seeing this medicine, Luo Ziyan felt a warm current in his heart. He picked it up and held it in the palm of his hand, "Okay, big brother, take it."

"Ah."

"By the way, kid, how old are you this year, do you want to do something? What to learn? Big brother will arrange it for you."

The child thought for a while, "My name is Meng Yun. I am seven years old. I want to read and write like my big brother."

"Okay." Luo Ziyan nodded, "Then big brother will remember it for you, Meng Yun, big brother will send you to study in the capital."

The little boy took the food and went to the next person.

He looked back at Luo Ziyan step by step.

Luo Ziyan was writing furiously again, and couldn't help rubbing his hands when they were cold.

"Who is that? It's the big brother." Xiaotong couldn't help but asked the guard on the side.

"That is our current Highness the Fourth Prince, the emperor's own son."

"Wow, the emperor's son is so warm."

The little boy exclaimed.

Some of the common people showed satisfied smiles.

This busy is a whole day, until dark, the long queue is still in line.

"Your Majesty, this is the person I have found. He can write. You can go back and rest." Liao Wang came again.

Luo Ziyan stood up, "Alright, then take me there."

"Yeah, the Fourth Highness is here with my minister."

Luo Ziyan followed Liao Wang and said, "By the way, Master Liao, do you think it will take us a few days to distribute the food."

"Wei Chen reckons that it will take three to five days."

"Are there only so many victims in Hancheng?"

"Oh." Liao Wang sighed, "There must be more than that, but many victims are still at home because they are sick or don't know the news."

"So troublesome?"

"Yeah, Wei Chen has already sent people to go door-to-door to notify and find people."

"Then do you have enough manpower? How about this, I will send some more people for you. Just tonight, don't rest, go door to door, first help the old, weak, sick and disabled, and some children and women." Luo Ziyan said.

"Okay, Weichen will do it later tonight."

Luo Ziyan arrived at his residence.

This residence was already the best one Liao Wang could find.

But even with the charcoal fire lit, there is still the wind.

Luo Ziyan ate something and fell asleep with his clothes on.

He got up before dawn the next morning, and it was still bustling outside, with many victims eating porridge and receiving relief food.

He smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and went out the door.

Liao Wang stood on the sidelines, his eyelids were fighting.

"How about it?"

Luo Ziyan's clear voice rang behind his ears, and Liao Wang trembled, "Oh, Your Highness, you're up."

"Well, let me ask how are you doing now?"

"Hehe, everything is going well, and many old people and children have been found, so let's give them porridge first."

It could be seen that Liao Wang was very pleased.

Luo Ziyan hooked the corners of his lips, "Okay, you've worked hard too, go back and have a rest, I'll watch here myself."

"This way, this is not good, Your Highness's body—"

"Don't do this with me, it's a waste of time!"

"Yes, I will go."

"Well, go to sleep, when it dawns, I still have new tasks for you."

Liao Wang went to sleep.

Luo Ziyan was watching from here.

The victims coming and going were much more active than yesterday, and they seemed to be in a better mood.

Luo Ziyan smiled faintly, looking at these lively smiling faces.

It was getting brighter, and Liao Wang arrived on time.

"Your Highness, I have returned."

"Ate?"

"have eaten."

Luo Ziyan nodded, "Go to my entourage, Yun'an, to get a sum of money, and buy some clothes as quickly as possible. These old people, women and children must not be frozen."

"Yes, I will go."

Liao Wang has always been dedicated to Luo Ziyan's orders.

The victims here are not making trouble.

Everything went very smoothly.

After four or five days, everything that was originally withered here became vivid and clear.

You can even think of the sound of children playing in the snow.

Luo Ziyan's heart was also much more relaxed, flipping through those record books in the room.

The above records are all the situation of the victims, how many old people, how many young and middle-aged people have also made detailed statistics.

"See Your Highness Fourth."

Two voices rang outside the door, it was Yun An and Liao Wang.

"You are all back."

"Yes, Weichen has already bought it, and distributed all the things. These are notebooks." Liao Wang handed it over.

Luo Ziyan turned over, "Very good, well done. How is it? Are you tired?"

"It's okay, not tired, after all, these are for the common people."

"It's fine if you're not tired. Come on, sit down, and let me tell you about the next plan."

Liao Wang quickly sat down, "His Royal Highness, please tell me, I am also waiting. I have heard that the relief this time is different from previous years."

"Yes, I am going to empty the cold city."

"Ah? Empty, where are the common people going?"

"Go to other 27 cities to make a living, or arrange to do business, or arrange to learn crafts, and children, arrange to go to school."

Hearing this, Liao Wang showed an expression of disbelief, "So good?"

"Yeah, I have already told my father, and my father agrees."

Liao Wang hurriedly knelt down, "On behalf of the people in Hancheng, I would like to thank the Fourth Highness and the Emperor."

"You don't have to be polite, you get up."

"Hey, yes."

"A good thing is a good thing, but this process is very hard and troublesome. As the county magistrate here, this is all your hard work. I can't watch in this cold city day and night."

"I am willing! I am not afraid of hard work!"

Liao Wang was very excited. After all, this is a great thing for Hancheng.

"Then I will arrange it with you in detail."
