Chapter 458 The Kind-hearted Girl
What Duke Jingguo didn't expect was that the emperor caught a cold and fell ill that night!
When Duke Jingguo received the news, he was preparing to have dinner with his whole family. He immediately dropped his bowl and couldn't eat anymore.
The young generation shrank their necks and tried to reduce their presence as much as possible, for fear that they would become cannon fodder.
The news that the queen was in Luocheng quickly spread throughout the capital. The noble families were all surprised when they heard it, and one after another sent people to Luocheng to find out what was going on.
This also made the drought in Luo City more prominent, and many smart officials began to plan how to use this incident to show off in front of the emperor.
After a few days of understanding, Su Ying discovered that the situation in Luocheng was more serious than she had previously known.
Perhaps they heard the news that Luo City had begun to provide relief to the disaster victims, and a large number of disaster victims poured in from outside the city, almost surrounding the entire city gate.
There are too many people. If one of them gets an infectious disease, the rest will be finished.
Su Ying inspected the land environment around Luocheng and cordoned off several open spaces to separate the arriving victims, so that there were fewer people and it would be easier to manage.
However, there were too many victims and not enough civil servants. Su Ying could only ask the Red Devil to mobilize more people and assign them to these victims to act as temporary order managers.
With so many people, food is consumed quickly. The food that was brought in was almost gone, and Wei Zhongming had not yet received any replacement food.
"Sir, do you think we should send this grain? If we don't, what if we offend the Queen..."
"Yes, sir, how about some of the younger ones take the food to the queen?"
As the merchants in Luo City saw Su Ying's growing power, they became more and more uneasy.
Wei Zhongming revealed to them that this queen must be a fake, but how could a fake queen make such a big fuss and still make Wei Zhongming so obedient?
Wei Zhongming definitely wanted to kill them.
Wei Zhongming has already written back to the capital, but there has been no reply from the capital. He has no idea what the current situation is in the capital. However, in order to prevent surprise inspections from the capital, he still plans to supply food to the victims.
"Supply, you guys can all come together and get 5,000 dan. I'll use it for now."
Everyone: ...
You are really wronged!
At this time, outside Luo City, an inconspicuous green-covered car slowly drove over.
The gates of Los Angeles are now closed, but if the victims have relatives in the city to pick them up, they can still enter the city.
The carriage did not go to the city gate, but to the place where the victims were accommodated.
After the carriage stopped, a hand with white fingertips lifted the curtain, and then a slender figure walked out of the carriage.
Her long black hair was casually braided into a pigtail at the back of her head and tied up with a colorful cloth. She looked simple and tranquil, especially with her delicate oval face.
"Driver, please take everything off the cart."
The driver responded and carried bags of dry food down from the cart.
The appearance of the woman attracted the curious looks of the victims, and they were curious to see the driver carrying the cloth bags down.
The person in charge of the disaster victims stopped the woman when he saw her approaching, "Who is she?"
The woman looked at the other person and smiled gently, "I came to the city to visit my relatives. I heard that there was a disaster in Luocheng, so I prepared some dry food for everyone when I came, and I thought of sending it to everyone."
The woman opened the cloth bag, and inside was full of white steamed buns, which made the victims stare in amazement.
The government is helping them now, but a bowl of porridge a day can only keep them from starving to death. It is impossible to feed them enough.
Now that there are so many white steamed buns in front of them, how can they not be greedy?
In the past few days, some kind-hearted people did send dry food here. The manager didn't think much about it and accepted all the steamed buns after thanking the woman.
The woman did not stop at all. After taking the steamed buns, she got on the carriage and left.
The person in charge counted the number of victims and the number of steamed buns, and after making a reasonable distribution, he distributed the steamed buns to the victims.
There is a shortage of staff in Luocheng, so Su Ying has to do many things herself.
Early this morning she took people out of the city to look for water.
Although she was looking for water, Su Ying had been observing the situation in the sky with a telescope after leaving the city.
Zhou Qing came to Su Ying and handed her the water bag, "What are you looking at, Your Majesty?" She looked up at the sky, but there was nothing but the glaring sun.
"Look at the clouds." Su Ying took the water bag and took a sip. There were too many victims of this drought. If it didn't rain, the food supply that the court would have to fill would be a bottomless pit. If they wanted to solve the fundamental problem, they had to find a way to make it rain.
Last night she had found the chemical raw materials and equipment for artificial rainfall in the space. In the end times, the ecological environment is harsh, but technology is advanced. In order to ensure water sources, they have a lot of complete rainfall equipment in the base.
If we can find suitable clouds, it is still possible to have small-scale local rainfall.
Only when it rains will the disaster slowly pass.
But after leaving the city, she looked around and didn't see any clouds that met the requirements, so she had to keep looking.
"Let them go to the mountain and take a look." The forest on this mountain looks quite lush, and maybe they can find some springs.
"yes."
Su Ying walked to a big tree, picked up a shovel and dug a shovel of soil under the tree. The surface of the soil was dry, but it was slightly moist near the roots of the tree, which showed that there was very little water in the mountain.
Sure enough, after searching for a while, everyone couldn't find any water source. Su Ying had to lead everyone down the mountain. When they were near the city gate, they found that the victims in the tents were eating white steamed buns.
Su Ying was a little surprised. The 5,000 dan of grain sent by the merchants was a lot, but there were also many victims, so Su Ying only asked them to provide one meal of rice porridge a day. In order to make the porridge taste thicker, she had to mix a large amount of coarse grains into it.
There is definitely no way they can eat these white flour buns now.
Su Ying walked forward suspiciously and called the manager, "Where did these white flour buns come from?"
"Your Highness, it was sent by a kind-hearted girl. I counted the number of people and distributed them to the victims."
Su Ying knew that someone in the city would send some dry food from time to time, so it was not surprising.
"Well, just divide it up."
"Yes, I send you off, Your Majesty."
Su Ying returned to the city. Perhaps the disaster relief efforts over the past few days had some effect. The streets were busier than before, at least not empty.
"My lord, the queen is back."
Wei Zhongming quickly threw the chicken leg in his hand onto the table, cleaned up his mouth and hands, and walked out quickly.
As soon as I went out, I saw Su Ying coming to the yard, "My Lady, you're back."
As soon as he spoke, Wei Zhongming felt something was wrong.
