Shiwu and Xunyi are both calm, especially Shiwu. Although her princess is gentle and kind, she is not a bad person. This woman loves to play tricks, and she will definitely suffer a big loss in a while.
Mingruo looked at Vice General Cao with a smile: "Send someone to sell this girl to the best flower house in the city. With the money obtained, I must buy her a servant girl."
There is food, shelter, and someone to take care of you, perfect!
The charming woman's face changed drastically, and she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Madam, I was wrong... I know how to comb my hair and makeup... I am willing to be a maid..."
This kind of person who wants to cheat and show off at any time and anywhere will not be a peaceful person even if she is a maid.
Mingruo waved her hand and asked someone to take her down: "Next..."
There are a few people with 'quick' minds who are no longer acting like monsters. The thirty or so women in the courtyard lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Mingruo had no time to spend with them: "Those who want to leave, stand on the left; those who want to stay, stand on the right.
Let me make it clear first, those who stay will have to rely on their own hands to support themselves in the future. If you want to get something for nothing, cheat and cheat, leave as soon as possible to avoid regrets in the future."
The woman who just helped distribute the clothes took a step forward: "I want to stay, and these girls also want to stay, but they... I'm afraid they won't be able to support themselves..."
Mingruo looked at the women who were pointed out, two were young and three looked silly.
"You can take them with you. You don't need to arrange for food and clothing, but you have to take care of them yourself." Ming Ruo said.
"I do, thank you madam." The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mingruo.
"Where are the others?" Mingruo glanced at the remaining people.
In the end, only three people wanted to leave. The others either had no relatives or were sold by their families and did not want to go back.
After Mingruo arranged for those women, Si Haochen also sorted out the affairs of the prefect's mansion. A notice was posted outside the government office, and disaster relief grains were distributed at the grain depot in the north of the city in the afternoon. Please bring your bags and household registration to receive them. From tomorrow, grain prices in the city will resume
before the flood.
In addition to the notices outside the government office, there were also government officials going around the streets to notify households to collect food. The food stored in the Gong family's basement was also taken out and transported to Feilai Temple and various resettlement sites for disaster victims.
When Zhang Jinliang received the news, the grain depot had already started to be stocked. He followed the people to the north of the city. The people who had received the grain seemed to be celebrating the New Year, all of them were beaming with joy, and their hearts and eyes were full of gratitude and respect for Prince Yun.
Zhang Jinliang's eyes twitched when he saw it. The emperor originally wanted to accuse Prince Yun of being unfavorable in disaster relief, but in just a few days, Prince Yun got the food.
Zhang Jinliang just felt that things couldn't be done like this. He saw that there was a carriage waiting for business in the distance. As he got on the carriage, he said: "Go to the government office."
The coachman saw that Eunuch Zhang was very thin and pale, as if he had not eaten for several days. He was also wearing ordinary common clothes, so he suspected that he could not afford the fare: "The fare is three taels of silver."
"How much did you say?" Zhang Jinliang almost missed his footing and fell off the carriage. Even in the imperial capital, where land is at a premium, such a shabby carriage could cost less than a tael of silver to cover for a whole day.
"Three taels." The coachman saw Zhang Jinliang's surprised look and became even more sure that he had no money to pay the fare. "Food is very expensive now. The horse's fodder for one day costs two taels of silver."
"Okay, I'll give you the fare as soon as you take me to the government office." Zhang Jinliang was robbed of everything before, and now everything he eats, wears, and uses is given by Prince Yun, and he doesn't have a single copper in his hand.
.
"That won't work. I sent you to the government office. If you can't get out of the government office, there's nothing I can do..." He didn't dare to go to the government office to ask for money.
"You..." Zhang Jinliang was trembling with anger.
The little eunuch who followed him still had sharp eyes: "Master, the official over there seems to be going back to the government office. Let's ask if he can take us with him?"
Eunuch Zhang walked from Zhuangyuan Tower to the north of the city, but he really couldn't walk. Hearing what the little eunuch said, he quickly went to find him.
Having seen His Royal Highness Prince Yun's thunderous methods in handling affairs, the Yamen official did not dare to neglect him when he heard that he was following Prince Yun. He respectfully asked Eunuch Zhang to get in the car and drove all the way to the government office.
At this time, the epidemic in Feilai Temple was basically under control, but there was still a shortage of medicinal materials. Shi Zhongcheng was finally able to get away and came back to meet Prince Yun, and asked when the next batch of medicinal materials would arrive.
Si Haochen estimated the time when several batches of medicinal materials would arrive one after another. The two of them checked and found that the medicine would basically not be discontinued.
Zhang Jinliang entered the government office and was taken to the back hall.
Seeing Prince Yun sitting behind the desk handling official duties, he quickly saluted: "Old slave, please come to see His Royal Highness Prince Yun, Lord Shi."
What was the old eunuch doing in the government office instead of staying at the inn? Si Haochen was too lazy to pay attention to him, so Shi Zhongcheng returned the gift politely.
"Your Highness, the emperor has sent someone to try the corruption case of the Xunzhou prefect. Before the Lord of the Three Laws Department comes, this food and money are considered 'material evidence' and should not be used at will, right?" Zhang Jinliang thought, the emperor sent
When people investigate cases and distribute food, the people must be thinking of the emperor, but they cannot let Prince Yun get such a good reputation.
"Oh..." Si Haochen groaned, "Eunuch Zhang is right!"
When Shi Zhongcheng saw the look Prince Yun gave him, he understood immediately and knelt down directly: "I beg you, Your Highness, to think twice. The Lord of Sanfa Division still doesn't know where he is now. The disaster in Xunzhou is so serious. Even if it is only an hour late."
If grain is released, many people will starve to death.
Besides, if you don’t allocate money to pay the deposit, the drug dealer will not charter a ship to deliver the medicine. Now is the critical moment to control the epidemic, and the consequences of running out of medicine will be disastrous..."
"The disaster is indeed urgent, but Eunuch Zhang is the most useful person around His Majesty, and he must be the one who can best understand the holy will." Si Haochen raised a slight smile on his lips, "'In the whole world, there is no one who is not the king, but the leader.
By the way, could it be that I am a minister of the king? It is really not easy for me to overtake my subordinates...
Mr. Shi, please draft a notice and post it now, saying that the emperor's imperial envoy assigned to investigate the case has not arrived yet. I took the initiative to distribute the food, and also asked the people to return all the relief food they received. The price of food will not be high for the time being.
No more surrender…”
Before Shi Zhongcheng could answer, Zhang Jinliang knelt on the ground with a thud: "I was temporarily blinded by lard. I beg you, Your Majesty, please don't listen to my nonsense...it will delay the business..."
Zhang Jinliang crouched on the ground, cold sweat dripping from his head. If this notice was really posted, what would the people think of the emperor? Zhang Jinliang finally recognized the reality, and he was fighting with Prince Yun, and a hundred of him were tied together.
It can't be fought either.
Si Haochen waved his hand: "I can't handle the business yet, so don't get in front of me if you have nothing to do."
"Old slave, I've written it down." Seeing that he almost made a big mistake, Zhang Jinliang's legs shook when he walked.
