"Aren't you going to take a nap?" I asked Bai Yueyao with some concern.
However, after I asked this question, he smiled evilly again: "Ah, so you are so eager for me to lean on your shoulder?"
…………
I can see that Bai Yueyao has had enough sleep and has regained his energy, but his mouth has become unforgiving again!!! He is really not a thing!!! Ignore him, ignore him, it is more important to make it official first.
I endured the resentment in my heart and said to him: "Second Prince..."
"Call me Yueyao." He interrupted me and stared at me after speaking.
...In the past, I never called him Second Prince. I always called him Bai Yueyao because I felt that he was not worthy of being a prince at all. But now, how can I call him Yueyao? If the relationship gets closer and closer, we will be hurt in the end.
It's just him. Since he is the second prince of Yunlong Kingdom, I also believe that he is a good prince, and I am just a minister, so this relationship must not be broken!!
"Second Prince, what about what I just reported to you?" I had to pretend not to hear what he just said, and his eyes looked a little disappointed because of my persistence.
"Voided!" I answered my question simply.
"What???" I looked at him curiously, hoping he could confirm what he just said: "Second Prince, what are you talking about?"
Food is in short supply now. If we don't go to the emperor for food, not to mention the soldiers will not be able to control the water, even the people will starve to death! Bai Yueyao should understand this truth! But why is he like this...
"Voided." He said resolutely and got up and left. Why voided? Because of what voided? Are you angry? Because I didn't call him Yueyao? No, he is not the kind of person who pretends to be public for personal gain! Then why did he reject me?
What about application?
Forget it, for now, I can only make good arrangements for the existing food. I estimate that no matter how I arrange it, I can survive for five days at most, but after five days...
As time went by, the food became less and less, and Black Desert Wing did not know why he left Baiwen County. However, due to the help of the people, the flood receded faster than expected.
It's the fifth day now. I don't know how long Bai Yueyao and the officers and soldiers have rested. I only know that Bai Yueyao is a lot haggard, and I have tightened my belt these five days. In total, I only ate
Three bowls of porridge, but it was of no use. How much use can the food saved by me alone be used?
By the sixth day, the food in the warehouse was completely empty, but the ruthless flood would have to be controlled for at least three days with the joint efforts of the government and the people...
"I'm sorry, people. It's because of my incompetence that the food in the warehouse is empty and everyone is starving again." After I finished speaking with guilt, I bowed deeply to everyone. I didn't dare to look at their faces.
I dare not look at their eyes. If I see their lost eyes, my heart will be broken.
But they were not lost...
"Lan Hanlin, don't say that. You only ate three bowls of porridge in five days to save food, but we and the flood control heroes never stopped eating. So you have nothing to be ashamed of us in the future.
In the next three days, everyone will have to tighten their belts." A middle-aged woman joked.
Looking at their optimistic attitude, I really feel that the people in Baiwen County are a bunch of simple people.
Haha, maybe I am too pessimistic. My attitude has been very negative these days, but these people are so positive and optimistic. I didn't expect that I am not as good as these ordinary people.
"Don't be hungry, this food is enough for you for a month!" When the voice came, everyone looked and saw that it was Black Desert Wing and a few officers and soldiers pushing several food trucks towards us.
I ran over excitedly and looked at the food in the grain trucks, and I was immediately filled with hope.
But, these grains? Didn't Bai Yueyao say that my proposal was invalid? Where did these grains come from? "These grains are...?" I asked Black Desert Wings curiously.
"The second prince asked me to borrow it from other counties."
…………
I understand, I understand, it is unfathomable, it is unfathomable. As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench near thirst. Even if Bai Yueyao applies to ask the emperor for food, and the emperor agrees, the people of Bai Riyuan faction will obstruct it in every possible way.
, everyone will probably starve to death by the time the food is delivered.
That's why Bai Yueyao adopted the method of borrowing grain from neighboring counties. After all, he was a prince, and those county officials would borrow some grain to some extent, and even if the Bai Riyuan faction blocked it, it would be too late.
Haha, haha, I'm such a fool! Why didn't I think of this method? I sit in the city every day. I didn't expect such a good method. Instead, half of the time after I reported the food situation to Bai Yueyao,
When he was young, he thought of a way. No wonder he didn't agree to my words at first. No wonder he would wake up after half an hour of sleep. He didn't sleep at all. He was just thinking of countermeasures. He was really thoughtful!
I excitedly carried all the food out and set up a fire to cook for the people. This time I no longer had to make rice porridge for everyone.
"Drink."
"?" I looked at Black Desert Wings in surprise. He was bringing me a bowl of rice, but I had just drank a bowl: "I'm full."
"I heard from the people that you only drank three bowls of porridge in five days, so you should eat more!"
...Does this come with compensation? Oh my God, I had no choice but to take the bowl from Hei Moyi's hand, because Hei Moyi's firm look and extremely cold language really made me unable to refuse.
Through the joint efforts of the government and the people, this terrible natural disaster finally ended on the tenth day after Bai Yueyao arrived in Baiwen County. The entire county lost one million taels of gold and had 28 casualties. The county magistrate of Baiwen County was dismissed by Bai Yueyao himself.
, and the only survivor who attacked the food truck was pinned in the prison car by Bai Yueyao, and returned to the capital with us. As for the houses, Bai Yueyao had to ask for funding from the above to rebuild them, so the people had to endure the open air for a few days.
Lived.
When we left, two groups of people lined the road to say farewell, and the people cheered Bai Yueyao's great achievements. Bai Yueyao fought this "war" beautifully. Not only did he not reach out for help from above, but he also used the fastest time to solve the problem.
this natural disaster.
As the saying goes, floods are ruthless, but people are affectionate...
It seems that Bai Yueyao's image is not only a good prince who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also a wise prince!!!
Haha, Bai Yueyao is getting closer and closer to his ambition.
