His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 85
Runan Gong County.

It is less than three hundred miles away from the worst-hit place on the Changyuan River.

It has become a resettlement site for disaster victims.

"His Royal Highness King Jing!"

King Jing finally arrived in Gong County with his people.

After being robbed by refugees who didn't know where, they also followed the example of the prince, except for the necessary rest on the road, they rushed all the way.

The weak imperial physicians in the capital city were nearly lost their lives due to the bumps.

This will arrive at Gong County on the sixth day.

Their arrival is the good news for these disaster victims here.

"Master Xu."

King Jing didn't get off his horse, and he had to go outside the city to see the victims.

After several days of rushing, he, who had never experienced such an experience before, looked pale.

But he pursed his lips and nodded to Mr. Xu, the magistrate of Gong County.

At this time, the prince should have arrived in Xin'an County, and he wanted to stabilize the rear for the emperor's brother.

This Mr. Xu was born in the Chen family of Yingchuan, which is isolated from a county, and he can be regarded as a somewhat capable side branch.

After the court's decree came down, he was the first to actively transfer and resettle the victims.

"Master Xu, tell me about the situation."

King Jing refused Mr. Xu's arrangement to invite them to rest, and instead rode out of the city gate all the way.

Mr. Xu's eyes flashed slightly, and then he got on his horse like a gentleman.

Along the way, I told King Jing about the situation of the victims resettled in Gong County.

"Gongxian County under the jurisdiction of Xiaguan is the closest to Yuliang Dam, so all the victims in the direction of Yuzhou pass through Gongxian County. However, Gongxian County has more energy than energy, so the victims are divided into three groups, and those who still have the energy can still walk , and moved to the other nearby Rongxian and Yuxian counties, and the rest of the old, young and injured stayed in Gongxian County..."

"Master Garrison sent reinforcements to help my ministers set up thousands of tents outside the city. Now the rest of the disaster victims are placed outside the city, a total of more than [-] people..."

"Lord Inspector has already opened a grain depot, and now the relief to the victims is all grain from the depot, but Yuzhou has received no less than [-] disaster victims...Your Highness, do you know the relief grain from the imperial court?"

Mr. Xu saw that King Jing brought 500 people, and there was the imperial physician they needed most now.

Although there are more than a dozen vehicles carrying luggage, it is far from enough for the [-] victims.

At this time, he didn't know that King Jing brought not a single grain of rice, but all medicinal materials.

King Jing listened with a heavy heart.

In Gong County alone, [-] victims were displaced.

In the whole of Jiangnan, no less than one hundred thousand people were affected by the disaster...

"There are seven grain depots in Yuzhou. Except for the three that can only be used during wartime, how long can the other four last?"

King Jing didn't answer Master Xu's question, but asked him instead.

Master Xu's face became solemn: "The incident happened urgently, and the governor did not have time to report to the imperial court. Three of the four grain depots have been used, and there is one left. It will last for seven days at most..."

These seven days, plus the previous time, are enough for the court to mobilize food and grass.

He thought, King Jing should have brought some relief supplies first, and it was inevitable that it would take a long time to mobilize a large amount of food and grass.

Sure enough, King Jing nodded.

"Seven days? Enough."

The crown prince made an action as early as seven days ago, and half a month was enough for him to raise food and grass.

In this way, Master Xu also let go of his heart.

A group of people came to the valley outside the city.

The gray-green tents are scattered and overlapped, but the presence of tens of thousands of people still makes the place filled with an unpleasant smell.

The cauldron was set on the fire, gurgling hot water.

Even if there is an army, the place is like a mess.

The coughing of the old man, the crying of the child, the moaning of pain...

The sound is in the ear.

"Everything is quiet! His Royal Highness King Jing, who was sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief, has arrived. He also brought us food, imperial physicians and medicinal materials. You can rest assured that the imperial court will never ignore everyone!"

Master Xu found a place with high ground and roared down.

But 3 people are too many, and his voice is only enough for those in front of him to hear.

But that's enough.

After a while, everyone in the camp knew that the imperial court had sent a prince to help the disaster.

"What is King Jing, who is such a big official? You can't lie to us, can you?"

"Officials are all like that, so it's not as good as Master Xu! When I was in Xin'an, I knew that Master Xu in Gongxian County was a good official, didn't you? Now it's Master Xu who takes us in."

"Yes, yes, any high officials sent by the court are not as good as our Master Xu..."

"..."

The voices of these discussions are not small.

It was enough for King Jing and Master Xu to hear clearly.

Master Xu looked embarrassed, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Their adults only told them to erase the credit of the prince, and it would be best if they could stir up conflicts between King Jing and the prince.

But they didn't ask them to take the credit for themselves...

Careless.

"His Royal Highness King Jing...here, I hope you will be magnanimous and don't get angry..."

King Jing smiled instead of anger, "Doesn't this just show that Mr. Xu is a good official? Why is this king angry?"

"These people are right. Thanks to Mr. Xu's generosity, they are able to give these disaster victims a place to live. They should be grateful to you."

The victims saw that the prince was so young, spoke softly, and affirmed Mr. Xu's contribution, so they were less wary of the high official in their hearts.

Ok.

Not here to take credit.

The victims were thinking quickly in their hearts, when they heard this gentle voice continue to sound.

With the help of the prince's personal guard, his words can clearly reach everyone's ears.

"This king is Qin Hong, the fourth son of His Majesty. His Majesty was shocked by the bad news in Jiangnan, so he specially sent the prince and this king to come to Jiangnan for disaster relief in person."

Some people muttered, even the prince is here?

What about the prince?
"Since His Royal Highness left Beijing, he has traveled day and night and arrived in Xin'an County three days ago."

Oh……

The victims suddenly realized.

The prince went to Xin'an County.

Only Mr. Xu looked a little surprised.

The prince has already gone to Xin'an County!

Or went there three days ago? !

broken.

Master Xu winked at a yamen servant behind him, and the latter slowly backed away.

He was about to turn around and leave when no one was prepared, and he just ran out for a while.

A figure quietly appeared behind him, the yamen servant only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and his eyes were dark.

And here,
An old man hurriedly asked: "Xin'an County is now completely flooded, what can the prince do when he goes? There are two pigs in the old man's house, can they be rescued?"

King Jing patiently answered every question of the victims.

"The breach of the Guliang Dam endangered Xin'an County, Xinning County, and hundreds of villages and counties in the downstream, with nearly [-] people. The prince went to Guliang Dam to investigate the situation regardless of safety, and it was also to return hundreds of thousands of victims in the south of the Yangtze River." justice."

"As for the livestock you feed, sir, after the disaster subsides, the imperial court will distribute a certain amount of supplies. Paul and the others will not be unable to survive."

Afterwards, another disaster victim cried dejectedly:
"Our houses are all destroyed, what should we do after the disaster?"

Not only that, but their fields and crops were also destroyed.

Can the imperial court relieve them for a while, but can they support them for a lifetime?
His Royal Highness King Jing calmly said, "The post-disaster reconstruction is led by the government, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally supervises, so you don't have to worry."

Prince prince, prince again.

Mr. Xu really wanted to take a look at King Jing's mind. He agreed that the princes would fight each other. What the hell are you doing to put gold on the face of His Highness the Crown Prince?
