They are really worried that Prince Li's Mansion will go bankrupt.
Mo Zhu smiled slightly, "Don't worry, everyone. Fortunately, the prince made arrangements early and ordered people to buy the food before the price of food in Tiansheng Kingdom increased.
These ten thousand stones of grain probably cost more than one million taels of silver.
But as long as it is for the people, His Highness is willing to do it! Now that the prince has bought food, everyone will not be hungry for the time being.
But this time the flood is too serious, and the ability of the prince alone is very limited! If you want to have enough to eat, you still have to rely on yourself to save yourself, so that you can survive!"
"Yes, this young master is right! How many people can the prince save by himself?
There are so many people in this world, we all have to support ourselves so that we can save ourselves!"
"Yes, the prince is really a good man!"
"Your Majesty is our savior, like a living Bodhisattva.
I swear that I will never speak ill of the prince again, no matter how others slander him, I will believe him!"
The people spontaneously praised Chu Xuanchen.
Chu Xuanchen felt a little embarrassed.
While the steamed buns were being delivered, he quickly opened the gauze, picked up a few large white-faced steamed buns, handed them to the victims in front of him, and said: "You are the people of the Chu State. This is what the king should do. You don't have to do this."
Thank you!"
When the common people looked at the large white flour buns that were steamed to the point of cracking in the basket, their eyes were filled with tears and they swallowed hard.
The buckets of white porridge and big steamed buns exuded a strong fragrance that made everyone drool.
Chu Xuanchen looked at Yun Ruoyue tenderly, "Yue'er, I'd like you to participate in the porridge service. I want to go to the palace now."
"Okay, go quickly.
Don’t worry here, with Mozhu and the others’ help, we can handle it.”
Yun Ruoyue nodded.
"Okay, you can rest assured and wait for me to come back."
Chu Xuanchen patted her shoulder, and then he and Zhang Fuyin led everyone away.
As soon as they left, Yun Ruoyue saw that the victims in front were crowding, and she quickly said: "Don't crowd, everyone, everyone has a share. Please line up, I will give porridge right away."
Yun Ruoyue said, led Feng'er and the others forward, and started serving porridge to everyone.
She personally walked to the wooden barrel containing the porridge, scooped the porridge into a bowl, and handed it to the people in front of her.
Then, she distributed the white-flour steamed buns in the basket to everyone.
After a while, the people in front of them all got fragrant rice porridge to drink, and each person also held a fist-sized white-faced steamed bun in his hand.
When they drank the white rice porridge, they all shed sad and moved tears.
“This porridge is so white, so fragrant and delicious.
This is the best rice porridge I have ever tasted, thank you King Li and Princess Li."
"I have never tasted such delicious steamed buns.
This steamed bun is white, big, fragrant and sweet, and has no sour taste at all. It is ten thousand times better than the stinky steamed bun served by Mrs. Wei Guo!"
"Mrs. Wei gave us porridge mixed with sand. How can it be as delicious as this fragrant white rice porridge?"
As the people spoke, they drank up all the porridge in their bowls.
After drinking, they even took out the rice grains on the bottom of the bowl and ate them.
Seeing the victims devouring their food, Yun Ruoyue's eyes became moist.
The victims in front of me were all yellow and thin from hunger, their bodies were stooped, and their faces were weather-beaten. They looked really pitiful.
Especially the children, who were born short and small due to long-term lack of nutrition.
Those little faces were dark and their heads were messy. They looked really pitiful.
