Ning Xi'er remained calm, as if the money she had taken out was nothing more than five taels of silver.
Ning Xi'er leaned closer and spoke in a voice only the three of them could hear, "Lord Xue, to be honest, this is all the Prince's possessions over the years..."
"We originally planned to make arrangements along the way, but now, His Highness has arrived in Xiude, just a step away from the desolate realm..."
"His Highness gave this to me before he left, probably guessing that Yongning urgently needs money and grain. Although His Highness is not here, I believe that His Highness will agree to this arrangement for the sake of the people of Yongning."
The weight of those few sheets of paper felt incredibly heavy to Xue Lin; he felt he couldn't bear it.
He had already heard about Prince Cheng's predicament...
If all the money meant for a stable life is given to Yongning, what if difficulties arise or unforeseen events occur later...?
Xue Lin hesitated for a moment, then took out one of the cards, intending to return the other four to Ning Xi'er.
Ning Xi'er returned everything to him, saying, "Lord Xue is still thinking of His Highness at this time; it's no wonder that His Highness and we have put in so much effort..."
Ning Xi'er also revealed the truth, since it was already an open secret anyway.
"His Highness's mentor, Mr. Wei, is currently cultivating his virtue. If he encounters any difficulties, Mr. Wei can offer assistance..."
Ning Xi'er looked at Xue Lin, "Besides, the money spent on the people of Yongning isn't a waste..."
"If we encounter difficulties in this desolate place in the future, we may have to rely on Lord Xue and the people of Yongning City for help!"
Xue Lin immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "As long as the people of Yongning can get through this crisis, and if there is anything we or the people of Yongning need in the future, we will do our utmost to help you!"
Zheng Ye remained silent, but was inwardly quite surprised.
The prince never dealt with money; even if he wanted to give money, he would get it from Eunuch Xu.
Although Zheng Ye never cared about money, he had heard his father and uncles talk about the prince's hardships along the way...
All of their overseas operations were under close surveillance, and Kong Xiu also informed them that the supplies and personnel prepared by Xiu De were unable to move...
We spent money on food and supplies along the way; where would we possibly find 50,000 taels of silver?!
Zheng Ye couldn't help but re-examine Ning Xi'er, feeling that compared to the prince, the person in front of him had even thicker thighs!
Hold on tight!
Let's get down to business.
Although there were many things to discuss, because of the clear thinking, it only took about the time it takes to drink three cups of tea.
Xue Lin hesitated to suggest a division of labor, but Ning Xi'er spoke up first.
Zheng Ye was in charge of the ten villages outside the city.
The five guards that Zheng Ye brought were all highly skilled.
Zheng Ye took three people with him to assist in the management of six, three, and one villages respectively, to promptly transmit information and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
The remaining two guards, along with Ning Xi'er's four maids, were all under Ning Xi'er's command, coordinating the treatment of patients and guiding matters such as isolation and disinfection.
Xue Lin was in charge of city management, properly arranging for the sick, and overseeing the daily lives, security, and treatment of hundreds of thousands of people in the city.
Since Ning Xi'er had given her money to Xue Lin, she no longer wanted to interfere.
She said she would handle the medical treatment herself, which greatly reduced Xue Lin's burden.
Zheng Ye immediately left with three guards.
The remaining two guards, as instructed by Ning Xi'er, were led by Xue Lin to gather all the yamen runners, guards, doctors and shop assistants from various medical clinics, and bring them to the city gate.
Ning Xi'er guessed that there would definitely be a riot among the people, who thought that the officials and doctors had fled first and were gathering to cause trouble...
Zheng Ye's two bodyguards had both killed people on the battlefield, so they shouldn't need her to teach them how to control this situation.
Moreover, Xue Lin was also present.
After Xue Lin and the guards left, Ning Xi'er immediately got to work.
The patients who were originally gathered at the city gate and in the village were temporarily detained in the village, leaving the area at the city gate empty.
Ning Xi'er took out a shower head from the general store from her spatial storage. It was made of copper and, although not as good as a modern spray bottle, it could still serve as a substitute.
Ning Xi'er had Bai Zhi and Gan Cao carry down a jar of sealed alcohol, add it to a spray bottle, and have them disinfect the entire controlled area at the city gate.
Then, dozens of tents were taken out from the space, and Haitang and Aoxue were asked to help set them up, and sheets and quilts were laid out inside.
Ning Xi'er placed the clean clothes, handkerchiefs, and gloves prepared in the carriage into a separate tent that had been disinfected and used for storage.
Then, Bai Zhi and Gan Cao carried all the Lingquan liquid, which was mixed with glucose solution and electrolyte water, from the carriage to the storage tent.
