However, when the patients heard from the doctor that the princess had traveled a long way without resting and had prescribed medicine for them, they could not shamelessly make further demands.

As a result, the patients were unusually cooperative and actively cooperated with the doctors in their efforts to prevent and treat the virus.

Many hands make light work, with the county officials and so many ordinary people.

Two soup kitchens were set up, one on the left and one on the right, near the entrance of the county government office.

This way, even with many people, it won't feel crowded.

With everything ready, Shen Yingying felt something was still missing; just drinking porridge was tasteless.

Moreover, the weather is dry and the people are short of water and salt.

Most people today probably have some degree of edema.

This is largely due to a long-term lack of salt intake.

Shen Yingying took out ten jars of salted radishes from her space using the carriage that Yin Yi had just arrived in.

As for the water issue, she is not planning to distribute it today.

It's not too late to find an excuse to transport it to the county town tomorrow.

Ouyang Yuqing divided all the labor force into two groups.

Four-fifths of the people were responsible for tasks such as transporting grain and cooking porridge.

One-fifth of the people were instructed by Ouyang Yuqing to take gongs and beat them as they began to spread the word about disaster relief and distribute medicine to cure the plague in every corner of the county.

Residents living nearby and disaster victims watching from the surrounding area heard that relief food had begun to be distributed.

They all ran faster than rabbits, busy running back to inform their families and relatives to come and collect the food.

Clang clang clang...

The gong resounded throughout the county, and the people felt that there was no sound more pleasant than this.

During the time it took to gather the people, the eight large pots set up in the soup kitchen were already simmering with thick rice porridge.

Splash...

The thick rice porridge was poured into the large wooden bucket, and the fragrant aroma of rice became even more intense.

Before the drought, people were reluctant to buy even a few kilograms of fine rice on ordinary days.

At this moment, pot after pot of rice porridge was being poured into wooden buckets, and the longing locals and disaster victims standing in line stared at the rice porridge with a greenish gleam in their eyes.

The people unconsciously swallowed their saliva.

It looks so damn tempting, a thick, creamy white rice porridge.

How blissful it would be to drink a bowl of this!

Seeing that the eight pots of porridge were ready, Ouyang Yuqing instructed the yamen runners to continue adding water and cooking the porridge.

During this period, he had the staff take turns cooking porridge.

Those who have taken a break should find a place to have a bowl of porridge first.

After all, once things get busy, there won't be time to eat.

Local residents and disaster victims were told that they could collect relief grain at the county government office by presenting their household registration, or they could get rice porridge at the soup kitchen.

The people, like wild horses, searched their homes for their household registration records.

After finding the household registration, I went to the kitchen to get the grain bags, and also took the biggest bowl I could get.

By the time most of the people had gathered at the county government office, the porridge stall had already cooked its third pot of porridge.

Splash...

The large wooden bucket for holding porridge was full and still steaming.

When Ouyang Yuqing saw that most of the people and disaster victims had arrived, he stood on a high platform and said to the people: "People, from today onwards, adults will be given one jin of fine rice every day, and children under ten years old will be given half a jin of fine rice."

Children under three years old can receive three ounces of refined rice.

If it's inconvenient to cook rice porridge, you can also get three days' worth of free rice porridge at the porridge stall.

Three days later, those who wish to collect rice will have to exchange it for their labor.

Of course, children under six years old can still receive two ounces of fine rice for free every day.

At this point, I must remind you, "If those who collect fine rice for children go back and pretend not to comply, and don't actually use the rice for the children..."

That……

Don't blame me for being ruthless; a beating is absolutely necessary.

Upon hearing what the War King said, some of the common people and disaster victims were filled with regret...

If they insist on not selling their children, wouldn't that be...?

There's no going back in life.
