Ten days later, the disaster relief team entered Qingyao Prefecture.

The atmosphere in the group was somber, as they had been seeing more and more displaced people these days.

Despite the imperial court's order to all prefectures to accept refugees and prevent them from leaving, some people are still fleeing.

The three prefectures and sixteen counties were severely affected by the disaster, and they received intelligence about it every day.

Hanoi was the epicenter of the floods, yet the team arrived in Thanh Yao province first.

Firstly, it is closer in distance, and secondly, the disaster situation in Qingyao Prefecture is quite special, especially in two of its counties.

In the evening, Princess Qin Zhaoqiong gathered the group together.

"I have received intelligence that both counties are severely affected by the disaster. I plan to go ahead and head to Mingyan County first."

The remaining men escorted the supplies, proceeding slowly.

Qin Zhaoyue naturally had no objections. She had no experience in this kind of matter, and if it weren't for her elder sister's insistence, she wouldn't have come to this tent to discuss matters.

As arranged by the eldest princess, she will lead two thousand imperial guards, along with the junior officials of the Bureau of Civil Affairs and a group of officials from the Bureau of Heavenly Crafts, to go ahead first.

The Fifth Prince and officials from the Military Equipment Department remained behind to escort the grain supplies.

"Big sister, isn't two thousand soldiers too few?" Qin Zhaoyue hesitated for a long time before finally asking.

Although no large numbers of refugees have been seen yet, the official gazette says there are 500,000 disaster victims, but no one knows exactly how many.

After spending time together, Qin Zhaoqiong's attitude towards her sixth sister had completely changed.

At this moment, she could see the undisguised care and concern in the other person's eyes, and she refrained from stroking her head.

"No problem, I can mobilize the garrison at any time; two thousand cavalrymen are enough."

However, food is a matter of great importance, Sixth Sister…

Qin Zhaoqiong knew that her younger sister was not as bad as she appeared, and even had her own plans.

Qin Zhaoyue sighed inwardly, knowing that this was not the time to give up.

"Don't worry, big sister, I understand."

"good."

Their eyes met, and everything was understood without a word.

Others assumed that the eldest princess was instructing the sixth princess not to cause trouble, but they were unaware of the silent exchange between the two at that moment.

Qin Zhaoqiong then looked at the Fifth Prince Qin Jingzhan beside her, "Fifth Brother, food is the most important thing in disaster relief. I'm leaving the rear guard to you."

Knowing that Sixth Sister was unwilling to be exposed, she would have agreed to it if she had no other choice, but on the surface, Fifth Brother was still in charge.

During this period of observation, the fifth brother showed no intention of seizing power and remained as law-abiding as he had been in the capital.

She had secretly instructed her personal guards to obey her sixth sister's orders in times of crisis.

After all, there are three thousand soldiers in the rear, so if the sixth sister and the fifth brother disagree, only one voice can be heard.

With Sixth Sister's wisdom, I believe she will be able to grasp the right balance.

Qin Jingzhan cupped his hands in greeting, "Don't worry, elder sister."

They parted in haste, and the princess led two thousand elite cavalrymen on a hurried journey through the night toward Mingyan County.

The remaining decision-makers in the camp included the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Princess, the Third-Rank Supervisor of the Military Equipment Department, and the Fourth-Rank Junior Supervisor of the Civil Affairs Department.

Qin Jingzhan cupped his hands in greeting to the others, saying, "I entrust the rest to you all. Make sure the food supplies are safe and sound."

He has been keeping a low profile these days, not causing trouble or vying for power, and tacitly accepting the leadership of the eldest princess, which is consistent with his usual style in the capital.

After all, he had the Second Prince, who was known for his virtue, above him, and he himself was not particularly outstanding.

The two officials naturally agreed, and Qin Zhaoyue had no intention of undermining them.

However, Fifth Brother's words weren't directed at her, so she should just remain silent.

The event quickly ended, and Qin Zhaoyue left the main tent, with Sui Mo, who was waiting outside, immediately following her.

Halfway through the journey, Qin Zhaoyue suddenly spoke up, "You should have some intelligence, right? Give me a copy."

"yes!"

I played all the way, and I don't know why Princess Six always comes up with all sorts of bizarre card and board games. They were all unheard of, but they were all surprisingly fun.

To put it simply, each of the group under Sui Mo's command lost at least half a month's wages.

While their character was questionable, everyone agreed that the Sixth Princess was definitely intelligent and not the fool that was widely rumored in the capital.

The Azure Phoenix Guard is responsible for protecting His Majesty and has no intelligence channels.

However, special cases are handled specially. In addition to the intelligence gathered by the Xuanji Terrace's spies being handed over to the Eldest Princess, Suimo would also secretly receive a copy.

Sui Mo had never avoided the Sixth Princess, nor had he ever offered to show her anything, until now when he took the initiative to ask her to do so.

Beside the campfire, Qin Zhaoyue quietly flipped through the intelligence reports from the past few days.

The twelve Azure Phoenix Guards were scattered around, guarding all directions.

In Mingyan County, the initial problem was a landslide that formed a "mud dragon" on the tea plantation.

Qin Zhaoyue estimated it was a mudslide, and could foresee the extent of the damage.

According to intelligence, Nilong uprooted a large number of tea trees, causing devastating damage to downstream villages.

The impact of floods is never one-sided.

Qin Zhaoyue could foresee displacement, lack of food and clothing, and the spread of disease afterward, but she did not expect that some special circumstances would arise due to local conditions.

For example, flood victims may fall seriously ill from drinking floodwater contaminated with theophylline, or water shortages may occur in flood-affected areas.

Yes, there is a water shortage!

After reviewing all the intelligence, Qin Zhaoyue summoned the sorcerer Chen Qingxuan and the magician Caisheng.

What is the treatment for theophylline poisoning?

Chen Qingxuan replied, "If it was just drunk recently, you can use a feather to probe the throat or give warm salt water to induce vomiting."

If the constipation lasts a while, a decoction of Glauber's salt or rhubarb can be used to facilitate bowel movements.

For mild cases, licorice and mung bean soup, honeysuckle dew, or even hearth soil can be used.

Qin Zhaoyue nodded and looked at Suimo.

Sui Mo was surprised that this alchemist was actually quite skilled. "The princess also knows about these things and has already sent people to collect medicinal herbs and send them to Mingyan County. However, she has not heard of the hearth soil."
