The people who had just looked confused all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment after hearing Zhu Wuyou's subsequent words.
No wonder Zhu Wuyou seemed like a different person, it turned out to be because Prince Chen had come!
This requires me to perform well in front of King Chen!
Are they saved?
The people were delighted, but soon became sad again.
Prince Chen's fiefdom is in Tingzhou, so it is impossible for him to stay in Xizhou forever.
After Prince Chen leaves, will Zhu Wuyou become the same as before?
No!
Maybe it will be even more brutal than before!
When the people thought of this possibility, they were extremely frightened. After looking at each other, they knelt on the ground at the same time and kowtowed to Li Junyan continuously.
"Please save me, Your Majesty!"
"Zhu Wuyou is cruel and unscrupulous, and he oppresses the people!"
"Please, Your Majesty, submit a memorial to ask for a new governor for Xizhou!"
Listening to the people's words, Li Junyan had a complicated expression.
In the minds of these people, Zhu Wuyou was not a good official, and they just wanted to replace him with a governor.
However, the current situation in Xizhou cannot be solved by simply changing a governor.
Li Junyan walked forward a few steps and looked at every citizen kneeling below.
“I know you’ve all had a very hard time these past three years.
I can promise you here that as long as you obey orders from now on and make full use of your strengths, everyone in Xizhou will be able to live a life with food to eat and water to drink.
No one will impose heavy taxes and levies on you anymore, and no one will force you to sell your children.
From today on, Zhu Wuyou can only eat after all of you have finished eating, and he can only sleep after all of you have slept. Before you start working, he must do it before you!
This king will not stay in Xizhou forever, but my people will stay in Xizhou and keep an eye on Zhu Wuyou at all times.
If he dares to do anything bad again, he will be taken back to Chang'an and brought to the Emperor for his punishment."
When the people heard what Li Junyan said, they all had complicated expressions and didn't know whether they should believe it or not.
At this time, the sound of wheels rolling forward was heard, and the aroma of food gradually penetrated into the noses of every citizen.
"Mom, it smells so good! What is that smell?"
"Dad, is this the taste of white porridge?"
"I think I smell the aroma of pancakes! They smell so fragrant and oily. How much oil is used in them?"
"Are you really going to give us food and drink?"
Just when everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, buckets of cooked porridge and baskets of freshly baked pancakes were brought in front of them.
The people who had been skeptical just now suddenly lost all their doubts and were filled with excitement.
White porridge!
Pancakes!
They themselves couldn't remember the last time they had such a good meal.
Seeing the people getting excited, Li Junyan spoke again, "Everyone gets one. No crowding or fighting. Once you're caught, forget about getting one."
The chaotic crowd instantly quieted down after hearing Li Junyan's words.
Everyone kowtowed together and kept thanking Li Junyan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"
Li Junyan looked at everyone and said, "I just had the things that were brought here made into porridge and cakes. The one who really saved your lives was the goddess."
Everyone looked up at the same time and looked at Li Junyan in confusion.
goddess?
What goddess?
If gods really existed in this world, why had they not appeared in the past three years? Why had they not brought rain to Xizhou?
Just by looking at the expressions of these people, Li Junyan had already guessed what they were thinking.
They don't believe that there really are goddesses in the world.
Li Junyan slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
Although he couldn't see Sang Jueqian's face, Li Junyan still looked at her very seriously.
Being looked at like this by Li Junyan, Sang Jueqian was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly understood what he should do.
Sang Jueqian ran to the bathroom, pulled over the water pipe that had not been used for a long time, fixed it by the window, then hurried back and turned on the faucet.
The outlet of the water pipe appeared at the door of the governor's mansion, and clear water gushed out and fell to the ground.
The people, who had just looked very skeptical, could no longer remain calm when they heard the sound of water and saw the water flowing on the ground.
Some are crying, some are laughing, and some are feeling heartbroken.
"Hurry and find a bucket! Hurry and find a jar! We can't let the water the goddess sent us go to waste!"
I didn’t believe in the existence of the goddess just now, but now I can call her that very easily.
Li Junyan glanced up at the sky again and said slowly, "Don't worry, the goddess told you to get the porridge first. After you have eaten and have enough strength, go back home and get the container and place it at the door.
At that time, this king and the goddess will go door to door to provide water."
Everyone knelt down quickly and shouted in unison.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Goddess!"
After hearing what Li Junyan said, Sang Jueqian returned to the bathroom, turned off the water pipe, and pulled it back out through the window.
In Xizhou, her vision followed Li Junyan's movements.
As Li Junyan moved around Xizhou City, the places where she dropped supplies or water would also change.
Li Junyan only needs to go around Xizhou City and she can deliver water to every household.
People don’t have to queue up or move containers around, it’s much more convenient!
Perhaps Li Junyan had already thought of this a long time ago?
So smart!
——
Li Junyan looked at the devout people below, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Qianqian is the savior goddess, and her divine name should be known to every citizen.
