The general had a sullen face and led his troops back in frustration.
The people breathed a sigh of relief. Some people were so frightened that they dared to relax at this moment, and some people just knelt on the ground with weak legs.
Seeing someone kneeling, everyone else also knelt on the ground.
"Thank you, Goddess, for saving us again."
"Goddess, please show us a way."
"We have no home anymore. We are homeless. Please have mercy on us, Goddess!"
The raindrops hit the ground, forming small puddles.
Gu Sang looked at the people kneeling on the ground, all covered in mud from the waist down, and said calmly, "The ground is muddy and wet. Get up first, or you will catch a cold and get sick."
"Since you believe what I say, then follow the princess!"
"Plague City is thriving under the management of the Princess. I believe it will get even better in the future."
"Furthermore, only in Plague City will you have enough food and clothing to survive. There, the eldest princess brought back sweet potatoes from her trip to Lingnan."
"This is enough to feed everyone!"
Can I have a full meal?!
After hearing what the goddess said, the people immediately decided to follow the princess to the Plague City to rebuild their homes. In their hearts, they regarded the princess as their savior.
Seeing that everyone had decided on the route, Gu Sang closed the connection and left time for the eldest princess to make the arrangements.
Leading tens of thousands of people on the journey would naturally be a few days slower than the eldest princess's light journey.
And before they reached the Plague City.
The news had already spread to the capital, Jiangnan and other places.
The palace maid who first connected with Gu Sang, under Gu Sang's guidance, and several other palace maids who left the palace together have now lived a life of ease and comfort in Jiangnan thanks to the sales of products such as color-changing lipsticks and perfumes.
When they heard the news that the eldest princess was bringing tens of thousands of disaster victims back to the plague city, they cheered loudly.
Several people discussed excitedly, "Miss Gu has been very kind to us. I once said that if there ever comes a day when Miss Gu needs me, I will definitely repay her."
"The Princess's followers are growing stronger and stronger, so they must be very short of money."
"Now, I want to collect some money to send to Plague City. I wonder if you are willing to contribute?"
After working hard in Jiangnan for several months, supporting each other and joining forces to compete openly and secretly with merchants outside, they have now become household names in the business world!
Wait until the palace maid Xiaoxue has finished making her suggestions.
Qi Xian and the others nodded without hesitation: "Xue'er, we all agree. We were able to open this store because of Miss Gu."
"We are already very satisfied as long as we have enough food and clothing. Let's give all the money we earn to the princess."
"It doesn't cost much to buy the materials. The recipe Miss Gu gave us has low cost and sells for a very high price. Even wealthy people spend a lot of money on it."
"Yes, let's keep some money for expenses and send the rest."
"Okay! It's settled then!"
The few of them pooled together 200,000 taels of silver notes, which was all the savings they had earned from their business. They decided that Xiaoxue and her second sister would go to Plague City together to hand over the silver notes to the eldest princess in person.
Their business is growing bigger and bigger, and will become even bigger in the future, heading towards the national level.
The day they decided to do business, they decided to support the eldest princess and Miss Gu!
We must completely overthrow this dynasty!
And the other side.
When the eldest princess led everyone back to the Plague City, the people of the Plague City stood on both sides of the street, watching the soldiers returning home, and their cheers resounded through the sky.
"Son, look, that's your mother! Your mother is back safely!"
"Daughter! Daughter! Daddy is proud of you!"
"My dad is a great hero. Look, that's my dad."
"Mom and Dad, look, my brother is back!"
"Where? Where is your brother?"
"I'm glad you're back, woooo, I can rest assured now!"
“…”
After feeling the enthusiasm of the people in the plague city, the victims finally put their anxieties at ease.
After the princess arranged temporary accommodation for the victims, she returned to her residence exhausted.
Just after taking a sip of tea in the living room, Zhou Qichen and Fang Moushi came to report something at the same time.
At the same time, Fang Moushi was followed by another person.
"Princess, this is Xu Zhi. He signed up to join the army after you left."
"Xu Zhi is very knowledgeable and has excellent insights into town management. He is also proficient in astronomy..."
After the eldest princess looked at Master Xu, Master Xu bowed respectfully to her.
The princess nodded and said, "Since it was Adviser Fang who recommended you, you will study under Adviser Fang from now on. I will arrange other positions for you in the future."
Master Xu quickly bowed and thanked him.
After saying that, the princess looked at Advisor Fang and said, "I'm going to have to work hard for both of you these days. Go and help arrange for the disaster victims to rebuild their homes."
"And the sweet potatoes should be ready for digging in the next couple of days, so remember to keep an eye on the date."
After the two counselors received the order and left.
The eldest princess rubbed her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Qichen.
Zhou Qichen then began to report on the recent recruitment situation: "Princess, since the live broadcast of Miss Gu's last filming, the number of men signing up in Plague City has tripled."
"Even the female guard team has over a hundred people signed up!"
"Under Master Xu's guidance, we've also recruited over a hundred talented individuals in recent times."
"Plus, more people sign up to join the army every day. I'm sure the army will grow stronger and stronger before long. But... to support so many people..."
The eldest princess knew what he was going to say next.
With so many people to feed, the sweet potatoes will be ripe soon, so we don’t have to worry about food for the time being.
But, the money is still not enough!
The princess pursed her lips, looked at Zhou Qichen with a look that entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and slowly said, "General Zhou, I will take care of the rest."
"I'm sorry to have to trouble you lately!"
"Although the number of soldiers has increased significantly, you must make sure they remember military regulations and not cross the line in the slightest."
"The bad habits of the imperial army in the past must not appear in this plague city, otherwise there will be severe punishment!"
"You need to pay more attention to this."
Zhou Qichen replied respectfully, "This is my job. Once someone enters my camp, no matter if he's a playboy or a rebellious genius, he'll be obedient in my hands."
It was not until Zhou Qichen left that the eldest princess lay down on the chair tiredly.
She looked out the window towards the capital.
No matter how difficult it is!
That place is all hers!
-
at this time.
The tens of thousands of troops sent by the imperial court to attack the Plague City have already approached the border of the Plague City.
Deputy General Qin looked at Deputy General Guan, whom he had promoted and who was now General Guan, who had replaced him.
I felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but think of what Gu Sang had said at the time.
"The end of the Minister of Industry is right before your eyes. Do you still want to continue to be blindly loyal to a foolish emperor?"
