Xiao Yuqi took control of the entire Jing County with lightning speed.
The excitement faded.
The people's emotions gradually calmed down.
Hungry stomachs and cracked lips pulled all the people back to reality from their beautiful dreams.
Someone said, "His Majesty is here. Has he brought any food?"
"I didn't see any wagons carrying food and fodder."
"This...what should we do? Are we going to continue to starve?"
Having experienced life and death, they can no longer take life lightly.
Being alive is more important than anything else.
"If there is no food, then what is he doing here?"
...
...
"Let's wait and see. Maybe the baggage transport vehicle is behind us."
"Maybe!"
The entire prefectural government was searched thoroughly.
The messy yard was cleared out, and all the items in the prefectural government storehouse were carried out one by one.
Countless gold and silver, dazzling rare treasures.
If any one of these items were exchanged for silver, it would be an amount that an ordinary person could not spend in ten lifetimes.
It seemed that the huge yard could no longer hold all the stuff.
While Xiao Yuqi was angry, he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The corruption in Jing County alone had reached such a level.
Can this Tianyu really be saved?
The final outcome of the Tianyu Dynasty is still vivid in my mind.
How can he feel at ease?
Xiao Yuqi closed his tired eyes.
When I opened them again, they were filled with new fighting spirit.
"Have all the granaries been counted?"
"Yes, this is the list, please review it, Your Majesty."
The amount of grain stored in the visible granaries is already terrifying.
Until Xiao Yuqi finished reading all the content.
Only then did he understand that the people in the northern border were suffering from this disaster.
It’s not limited to natural disasters.
More often than not, it’s a man-made disaster.
"Damn it, it's absolutely abominable!"
All the grain merchants in Jing County had long been in collusion with Xue Liangqi.
Xue Liangqi received their respect.
He repeatedly refused to open the granaries to release grain and provide relief to the people.
The grain merchants took the opportunity to raise prices.
A bowl of rice turns into gold.
Although there are not many people who can afford food.
But there are always families among the gentry and nobles who can afford to buy food.
Those people are their targets.
Got money.
Xue Liangqi also controlled the water source of Guangling County.
Half of all the running water in Guangling County is sold to the people of Guangling County.
Half of it was sold to wealthy families in the North at a higher price.
Make money inside and outside.
It really makes a fortune every day.
He has such a good business mind.
Being a mere county magistrate.
It's really a waste of talent.
Xiao Yuqi's face was extremely ugly.
"Pass the order down, open the granaries to release grain, build porridge sheds, and provide relief to the people."
At a command, all his men formed a team and started building the porridge shed as quickly as possible.
There was a room every ten steps and a guard post every five steps, which gave the people of the city hope in an instant.
He Hu and He Bao were considered capable people. Before he joined the team, they had led a group of people to resist Xue Liangqi's tyranny.
He enjoys a certain reputation among the people.
Under the deliberate guidance of someone attentive, the two brothers greeted everyone.
"Those who still have the strength and can move, let's help the adults build the porridge shed. The sooner it's built, the sooner we can fill our stomachs."
"Big brother, I'm thirsty, can you give me some water first?"
Long-term lack of water and food.
Even the non-toxic plants that could extract juice were all eaten up.
Plus the riot just now.
They held their breath and tried to find a way to survive.
Now, I am exhausted, thirsty and hungry.
My mouth was so dry that even saliva couldn't come out, and it felt like it could spit fire at any time.
"Yes, brother, can't His Majesty give us some water first?"
Water should be there.
But there are so many people.
How to divide it?
He Hu and He Bao looked embarrassed.
Looking at those people with pale faces and skinny bodies, I couldn't bear it after all.
"Let's go ask His Majesty for instructions and give it a try!"
"Thank you very much!"
It's not that Xiao Yuqi hasn't thought about this issue.
But there is really no water source in Jing County.
There were only ten large water tanks in the prefect's mansion, but they were filled with water.
But, how can so many people be supported by just these ten large water vats?
He thought about it and found a bedroom.
He ordered someone to clean up the room, go in, and lock the door.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what His Majesty meant.
No one knew that Xiao Yuqi was lying on the bed and turned over.
Then, the whole person disappeared in the bedroom out of thin air!
Su Jianyue had been waiting for Xiao Yuqi at home for nearly two hours.
She was afraid of delaying things, so she rushed home as soon as she got off the plane.
It was getting dark, but Xiao Yuqi still hadn't shown up.
She was wondering whether she should go over and take a look.
Xiao Yuqi appeared in her bedroom.
"You're here at last? How's everything going?"
Xiao Yuqi nodded, "It's all done according to our plan!"
"That's good, I'm so anxious!"
Su Jianyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, do you want to transport the stuff over? I have everything ready. It's just downstairs. It's very convenient to move."
Xiao Yuqi frowned.
"In the prefect's mansion, there are mountains of gold and silver, and the amount of food is even more terrifying. I calculated that if all the food in the prefect's mansion was distributed to the people, and porridge was provided every day, it would be enough for the people of the whole city to eat for more than ten days."
"So you don't need to eat now, right?"
"Yes, we don't need it right now, but we are seriously short of water!"
"I've got the water ready too!"
There were both barreled water and bottled water. Su Jianyue also bought a long water pipe and connected one end of the pipe to the faucet at home.
Just in case of need.
"But Yue'er, I need a reason so that I can take the water out legitimately!"
First of all, where does water come from?
Why was there an endless supply of water for the people to use once he arrived?
He needed a reason that would not be doubted or criticized.
Su Jianyue snapped his fingers.
This is easy.
"Wait for me."
She ran downstairs with a clatter.
Went to the basement.
Xiao Yuqi followed him down.
After a while, Su Jianyue picked up a ball.
"What is this?"
The basement of the villa is a converted home theater.
Su Jianyue held the ball and turned off the lights.
The basement was dark.
"Yue'er, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yuqi had just finished asking this question.
Su Jianyue clicked the ball in her hand and released it.
The sphere instantly emitted colorful neon light.
The light kept shuttling and dancing.
The entire home theater instantly has a 857 flavor.
"This is?"
Su Jianyue smiled and said, "In our era, these are just some props to adjust the atmosphere, but we can say that this is a miracle sent by God to help you support the country and protect the country!"
Xiao Yuqi: "..."
