Yuchi Xi didn't say anything. She waited until the driver drove to a place where there were not many people. Then she took out a piece of talisman paper from her bosom and threw it out.
The talisman paper flew into the air with a whoosh. As Yuchi Xi finished speaking the last word, sunlight appeared in the originally gray sky.
The dark clouds dispersed and a rainbow appeared.
The driver was surprised and puzzled. "Hey, the sun is out!"
"That's a good thing."
"Young lady, you are really blessed people. The sky has cleared up since you came!"
Yuchi Xi smiled and said nothing.
At this time, the people in Rong County looked at the rising sun, their eyes filled with excitement and tears.
"It's been two months, and finally, the sun is finally out!!"
"Great, great, we have hope of survival!"
When the sun comes out, the accumulated water will slowly evaporate, and then they can go home!
Very good!
Some people hugged the trees and looked up at the sunlight. Even though the sunlight was very dazzling, they still looked at it without blinking.
Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, across her face, and into her neck.
This isn't just sunshine, this is hope.
County magistrate's office.
The county magistrate and his family lived on the second floor. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the sun come out.
"It's finally clear."
The magistrate's wife's brows relaxed a little, "Husband, don't worry."
"The weather is nice now."
How could the county magistrate not be worried?
“Although the weather has cleared up, there is still a lot to do.”
"For example, rebuilding people's homes after the floods recede is a major issue."
The county magistrate's wife felt a headache when she heard this. "Husband, why don't you apply to the higher authorities to see if they can allocate some funds?"
"The money we have is not enough to help the people rebuild their homes!"
She wanted to help, but she didn't have the ability.
The county magistrate sighed and said, "Let's talk about it later!"
"I'll send someone to divert the water from the road first."
The county magistrate put on his robe and hurried out, "Madam, please stay at home for a while."
"Oh, okay."
The magistrate's wife responded, walked to the door, and watched him get into the carriage as it drove away.
The county magistrate had just left the mansion when he ran into Yuchi Xi. Yuchi Xi lifted the carriage curtain and looked at him, "Sir, county magistrate, can you please have a word with me?"
The county magistrate lifted the carriage curtain and saw Yuchi Xi. He knelt down and saluted, "Your Highness, the Little Princess, may you live a thousand years."
"No need to be so polite, let's go to the inn!"
Yuchi Xi thought about it and felt that it was not easy to talk at the county magistrate's mansion. After all, he didn't know what the county magistrate's personality was like.
The county magistrate naturally had no objection and followed her to the inn. In the private room on the second floor, Yuchi Xi gestured for him to sit down first. The county magistrate sat down nervously, "I wonder if the little princess has anything to tell you?"
"But what does the emperor need me to do?"
Yuchi Xi sat down and said with a smile, "Father heard about the flood in Rong County and was very worried, so he sent me here to see what's going on."
The county magistrate quickly reported the truth, "Your Highness, the little princess, it is like this..."
"In Rong County, due to its topography, floods occur every year when there's heavy rainfall. This year, the situation is particularly severe because it's been raining for two consecutive months."
"Because drainage was not done properly, people's houses and crops were flooded."
Speaking of this, the county magistrate's eyes were red, "It is my fault that I have failed in my duty."
Yuchi Xi nodded, "It is indeed your fault."
"As the county magistrate, the people's father and mother, you should be more considerate of the people."
The county magistrate was choked by her words, but he could not refute it.
But who can know the pain in his heart!
After all, Rong County is far away from the capital, and every time he applies for a sum of money, it doesn’t take long for it to be paid out!
I don’t know whether the emperor really only allocated that little money, or whether someone embezzled it.
Yuchi Xi asked him, "From the way you speak, it doesn't seem like you don't care about the people at all."
"Since you know where the problem is, why don't you solve it? But what difficulties have you encountered?"
The county magistrate looked at Yuchi Xi in disbelief. He didn't expect her to ask that!
But is that something that can be said?
The county magistrate hesitated.
Yuchi Xi encouraged him with his eyes, "Just tell me, I came here to help you, to help Rong County. If you can't tell me the details, how can I help you?"
The county magistrate heard this and realized that this was the case. He gritted his teeth and finally decided to speak out, "This is what happened..."
The county magistrate told Yuchi Xi about the difficulties and hardships they faced in seeking funding.
After listening to this, Yuchi Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, I understand this matter."
After a pause, she smiled softly, her voice soft and sweet, "Don't worry, I will report this matter to my father truthfully."
"I can tell you responsibly that the Emperor allocated a considerable amount of funds. As for why only so little was left in the end..."
"I believe that my father will investigate thoroughly."
"Let's not talk about that for now. How do you plan to build this drainage system?"
Yuchi Xi asked him, and the county magistrate thought about it and finally expressed his thoughts.
Even if he told the little princess, he might not be able to complete it, but this was a chance, he had to try, he had to try...
Even if he fails, he will accept it.
After listening to him, Yuchi Xi gave him some advice, "That's all I want to say. Now order someone to do it!"
