Grocery Store Connects Past and Present: The Prince I Raised Ascended the Throne

After a failed entrepreneurial venture, Sang Jueqian inherited her grandfather's grocery store, only to discover that the store's window led to ancient times!

On the first day of open...

Chapter 48: Another wave of disaster victims! So excited that they burst into tears!!

The local express delivery guy also came. He brought a latest projector, a latest laptop, and a very large screen.

Both items were packed in a box. Sang Jueqian did not unpack them. He just asked the seller for the assembly video, downloaded it to the computer, and would hand them over to Li Junyan later.

After finishing all these, Sang Jueqian suddenly felt bored and simply went next door.

Sang Jueqian was busy in the store for the whole morning, and the six newly hired employees also did not stop for a moment in the Hanfu customization hall.

In just one morning, all the furniture and office equipment, big and small, had arrived.

The six girls were very capable and had good taste. They decorated the store in an antique style and wiped the furniture and shelves spotlessly clean.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the samples to be put up.

Sang Jueqian turned around and went back to the grocery store, took down all the storage boxes on the shelves, put all the clothes and shoes in the space into them, and then called six girls over.

"These are all samples. You can sort them out and hang them up later. You can also try them on yourself and take some pictures and short videos. After the official opening tomorrow, when customers come to the store, you can provide them to the customers and let them choose.

No matter how many people order custom clothes every day, you must clearly state the style, size, color, and fabric they want, and then send it directly to me when you are not busy. Remember?"

The six people said in unison, "Boss Sang, we'll remember this!"

"Just remember it, and get busy!"

It took six people several trips back and forth before they finally moved all the boxes away.

Without these boxes, the grocery store instantly became clean again and no longer as crowded as before.

Sang Jueqian turned his head to look at the window, but saw that it was still empty and Li Junyan still had not returned.

Sang Jueqian raised his eyebrows subconsciously: What is Li Junyan busy with?

-

At this time, Li Junyan was standing on the city wall of Tingzhou South Gate looking down.

The south gate of Tingzhou was closed, but thousands of people gathered outside the gate.

These people were also dressed in rags, had pale and thin faces, dry and yellow hair, and pale and cracked lips.

Although they looked miserable and pitiful, at this moment, everyone had a hopeful expression on their face and their eyes were shining.

They knelt straight on the ground, looking up at Li Junyan who was standing on the city wall.

"Please save me, Your Majesty!"

"Please, Your Majesty, give us a drink of water!"

"Your Highness, please give me something to eat! If there's no more food, my daughter will starve to death! She's only five years old!"

"My Lord, help me!"

Thousands of people wailed at the same time, and the sound reached the sky.

These people were not from Tingzhou, but villagers outside Xizhou City.

Xizhou and Tingzhou are not far from each other. Tingzhou has suffered a severe drought for three years, and the situation in Xizhou is no better than that in Tingzhou.

Zhu Wuyou, the governor of Xizhou, closed the gates of Xizhou city tightly. Not only did he not allow people outside the city to enter, he also drove out the powerless people in the city, leaving them to fend for themselves outside.

These people had nowhere to turn to and had originally planned to accept their fate, but then they heard that a prince had arrived in Tingzhou, who was the third son of the current emperor.

Since he is a prince and the son of the current emperor, he will definitely have food and drink even if he comes to Tingzhou!

With this idea in mind, these people fled the famine in pairs and walked here from outside Xizhou City on foot.

If you have a carriage, it only takes three days to get here from Tingzhou.

But these people, with their families, walked for seven days before finally arriving here.

When they set out, there were nearly 10,000 people, but now there are less than 5,000.

The rest of them died on the road and were hastily buried.

Listening to these people's cries like the cry of a cuckoo, Li Junyan's face was tense and his hands were clenched into fists.

"Xu San, have the porridge and cakes been delivered?"

"Reporting to the prince, it has been delivered."

"Open the city gates and give them porridge and bread.

Are there any cups left over from the ones Qianqian sent? Fill them with water and send them over. If there aren't enough, give one to each household and let them use it first."

"Yes, I'll send someone to get it right away."

"Go ahead."

The city gate was quickly opened and carriages drove out.

Each carriage was loaded with four large barrels half a person's height filled with cooked rice porridge.

The rice porridge was added with chopped vegetables, minced meat and salt.

It not only fills the stomach, but also replenishes salt, allowing people to restore strength in a short time.

People who have been hungry for a long time are more sensitive to the aroma of food.

When these people smelled the fragrance of rice porridge, they instantly became excited and rushed forward to grab it.

Li Junyan watched this scene on the city wall and asked the guards around him to beat the gong hard.

The deafening sound of the gong attracted the attention of the refugees, and they all looked up at Li Junyan.

Li Junyan also looked at them steadily, "Since I have asked people to prepare rice porridge for you, I can ensure that everyone of you can eat it.

Everyone was divided into five teams and lined up to receive porridge and pancakes. Without scrambling, everyone was able to receive their porridge and pancakes in the shortest possible time, and water would be provided shortly.

If anyone dares to lead the looting, don't blame me for being ruthless and punishing them according to the law!"

Ordinary people have a natural fear of princes.

In addition, Li Junyan's voice was like a bell and his aura was overwhelming. After hearing what Li Junyan said, they all became obedient and quickly divided into five teams.

Although each team is as long as a coiled dragon, the team's progress is not slow.

After everyone received the porridge and pancakes, they quickly found an empty corner to sit down, drinking the porridge in small sips and eating the pancakes bit by bit.

The porridge was difficult to store, so it was drunk with great care.

But everyone had half or most of the pancake left, which they carefully put into their arms.

They didn't know where their next meal would come from, and even though their stomachs were still empty and they were hungry enough to eat a cow, they didn't dare to finish the bread in one go.

Li Junyan stood high and could see clearly, taking in the entire scene, and there was a hint of heaviness between his brows.

When he passed through Xizhou, he saw that although the people of Xizhou lived a hard life, they were not without food and drink.

At that time, I thought the Governor of Xizhou was quite capable.

Now I understand that it was not because the Governor of Xizhou was capable, but because he chose to sacrifice some people.

What a great Governor of Xizhou!

Good job Zhu Wuyou!

Xu San quickly led his men out of the city gate and began distributing big-bellied cups filled with water to the victims household by household and taught them how to use them.

When the victims got the big-bellied cups and saw the clear and clean water inside, they were so excited that they burst into tears.

"Water! It's really water!"

"The prince really gave us some water!"

"Dad, Mom, did you see that? If we get to Tingzhou and see the prince, we can really survive! It would be great if you could make it through this!"

"Xiaobao, don't sleep anymore, open your eyes and look! We have water! The prince gave us water! You don't have to worry about dying of thirst anymore!"
