At first he thought it was just an escort mission, and he didn't think a princess could do much, so he didn't think the princess wanted him to do anything big.
"Okay, I'm satisfied with what you said. If you have any more useless people, take them with you tomorrow and follow me to find water."
Lin Yuxin had an idea. Originally, she wanted to bring her own people to find the water source, but since the emperor sent his own people here and did not allow them to participate, she would not be able to explain when she returned.
After much consideration, he decided to leave the task of finding a water source to the emperor's people.
"Looking for water?"
Shan Dao was stunned. Where can we get water in this weather? Even the river is almost dry. Where can we find water? Princess, are you afraid of losing your mind?
"Well! My two hands have been sent out. The prince is taking people to the surrounding villages and towns to check the situation. Before he comes back, you will work with me for the next few days!"
Lin Yuxin kept it a secret and didn't elaborate.
"yes!"
Single-handedly, he was puzzled and lowered his head to answer.
Lin Yuxin was so busy that she had no time to rest, so she asked Zhao Er to find the judge from the government office.
After a while, Zhao Er came over, but he looked embarrassed.
Lin Yuxin frowned at his expression and asked in confusion:
"What? Didn't you find anyone?"
"After we found him, we found that he was locked up by Zhong Zuan and had been deprived of water and food for five days. When we went to find him, he had already fainted for a long time. I asked the big guys in the team to check on him. They said he was very hungry and needed to rest for a few days. We have already found someone to take care of him."
Zhao Er lowered his head and said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, that Zhong Zuan was too inhuman.
"Yes, sure. What was the specific reason for his detention?"
Lin Yuxin asked.
"When the subordinates asked the officials who were detained, they said that it was because Xu Tongpan wanted to release grain, but Zhong Zuan opposed it. The two had a big quarrel, and then Zhong Zuan detained them."
Zhao Er said with pain, there are really all kinds of people in this world.
"Okay, take good care of him. When he gets better, let him come and talk to me. Bring all the household registration books of Beicheng, and we will go to distribute food."
Lin Yuxin nodded, indicating that she understood, and then said.
"yes!"
Zhao Er turned and left.
Lin Yuxin didn't wait long. She led Zhao Er, who had prepared food, and a group of people out of the government office and set up a small shed next to the government office.
The table was set up and the rice was placed on it. People who were walking by stopped to watch this scene because they saw that the bags were filled with rice, which was food, and they could not move.
At this time, Lin Yuxin walked out, stood in front of the shed, and shouted loudly to the sparsely standing people on the opposite side:
"My fellow citizens, I am Princess Wuning, who was personally appointed by the Emperor. I was ordered by the Emperor to come to Jibei City to solve the problem of no rain for several months. However, I found corrupt officials in power and the people suffering, with no food or water."
"This princess has decided that starting from today, all citizens of Jibei City will receive two kilograms of rice every day with their household registration certificates. As for the water problem, we will also solve it gradually. Please rest assured, citizens!"
Lin Yuxin had just finished speaking when a citizen asked in disbelief:
"Princess? Is that rice really distributed for free? You're not kidding, are you?"
"Yes, you are a princess, are you so good?"
"Princess? Is it true? We haven't had any food in our house for several days. Please let us get some food!"
The people around began to talk about it, but no one came forward to receive the rice.
Lin Yuxin stepped aside, made room for the table, and said with a smile:
"Every word this princess said is true. If anyone doesn't believe me, please bring some household registration certificates and come over to claim your identity."
The people around looked at each other. Some of them couldn't resist the temptation of rice and walked to the table to try it.
"Where's your household registration certificate? You can only receive food if you have it."
Zhao Er, who was standing in front of the table, looked seriously at a commoner opposite him and said.
"I'm... I'm at home."
The commoner was frightened by Zhao Er's serious face and shrank back, answering cautiously.
"I...I'll bring it. I have it here!"
At this time, an old man on the side spoke up.
He originally wanted to bring his family to the city to live with his relatives, but they were also in great difficulty, so he had no choice but to leave the north city with his family, so he kept his household registration certificate with him.
As he spoke, he walked forward, took out his household registration certificate and showed it to Zhao Er.
Zhao Er took it, and his subordinates beside him began to check the names on the household registration book.
"Wang Toutie, from Zitou Village in Beicheng, are you alone here? If everyone registered on your household registration is here, you can ask them to come and collect the money together."
After Zhao Er checked, he said to the old man.
The old man was delighted and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, all here."
As he said this, he turned around and waved to his wife, children and grandchildren who were standing far away.
When his family members saw their parents waving at them, they all walked over tremblingly and stood by anxiously.
"Sir, my family is all here."
Wang Tietou saw that all his family members had come over, and then he spoke to Zhao Er cautiously.
"Okay, I'll check the number of people and the names, and you can get the food if there's no problem."
Zhao Er still spoke with an expressionless face.
Soon, Zhao Er checked Wang Tietou's family and began to distribute food to them.
Because they had just left home, they all carried bags on their backs. When they saw Zhao Er packing food, they immediately took out a cloth bag from their bags and waited for Zhao Er to pack the food.
Zhao Er didn't waste any time and directly packed up food for the family. Wang Tietou's family of five received a total of ten kilograms of food.
After the installation was completed, Zhao Er waved his hand to signal them that they could leave.
Wang Tietou and his family walked out holding the cloth bags in disbelief.
"Old man, can you pinch me to see if it's true?"
The old woman at the side said to Wang Tietou in a vain tone.
As a result, the eldest grandson next to her slapped her directly on the hand.
“Bang!”
A crisp sound brought the whole family back to their senses.
"Mom, it's true, we have food!"
The daughter-in-law was the first to come to her senses, and happily pulled the old woman aside and talked.
"Yes, we have food. Let's go home! No!"
Wang Tietou also came back to his senses and said happily.
"Yes, let's go home!"
The family walked towards home happily.
The people around saw that they had actually received food, and they began to rush forward to line up.
"Master, I, I also come to collect food."
"Official position, I'll go first. I have the household registration certificate here!"
"Yes! I also need my household registration certificate. I need to go home and bring it, and also bring my family members to collect it together."
In an instant, the food distribution booth was surrounded by people. Later, Lin Yuxin and her team restored order, and the food distribution continued in an orderly manner.
There were also some foolish people who tried to get away with it by cheating, but they were discovered by Zhao Er and dragged into the government office to be beaten with ten boards.
After beating up a few people, no one dared to come over and cause trouble.
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Lin Yuxin led people to the city gate.
