Wang Feng's usual gloomy look was gone, with a tearful face, as if a woman had suffered a great injustice.

The adults on the side also looked sad and aggrieved.

Lin Yuxin couldn't help but admire him, and kept muttering in her heart:

[As expected of an official, his facial expressions are as quick as flipping the pages of a book, and his acting skills surpass those of an award-winning actor! ]

Li Xiaochen also frowned as he watched these officials crying in front of him. He was about to get angry, but after hearing what Lin Yuxin said, he calmed down.

Since Yuxin wants to watch a play, he will watch it with her for a while!

So Li Xiaochen looked at Ji Xiao expressionlessly and asked calmly:

"Do you all think so?"

"Your Highness, it's not that we don't support the princess's work. It's mainly because the princess is not seen every day and doesn't think of any other drought relief policies. She just urges us to plant trees. Isn't this a waste of our talents?"

"I just want to make some contribution to the Xia Kingdom and do something practical for the people. I hope Your Majesty will help me."

Wang Feng is worthy of being the head of the ministry. With such eloquence, if he didn't know that what Lin Yuxin did was beneficial to the country and the people, he would have thought that Lin Yuxin was neglecting her duties and not doing practical work.

"What does the princess have to say?"

Li Xiaochen glanced at Lin Yuxin who was watching the show on the side and kicked the ball directly to her.

As Li Xiaochen spoke, all eyes in the room were focused on Lin Yuxin's face, just in time to see her half-smile.

[Damn Li Xiaochen, just keep talking about the matter, why are you picking on me? She was having a great time watching the show, but she got caught, punish her by not allowing me to speak for an hour! ]

Lin Yuxin severely punished Li Xiaochen in private before looking at the ministers with a serious face.

"You know what brought you here, Your Majesty? Do you know?"

Wang Feng was silent for a moment, then replied cautiously:

"Do your best to improve the drought in the North City, so that the people in the North City can survive and reduce the death rate."

"What you said is right, Mr. Wang. How are the people in North City doing now?"

Lin Yuxin asked again.

"Fortunately, the people were well resettled!"

Gu Qing lowered his head and replied.

"Mr. Gu, the people of Beicheng have not had any deaths so far. The death rate reported today is only 5 in Fuyang County, 3 in Muzhu County, and 8 in Huaishui County. Among these 8 people, one committed suicide because he was too old and didn't want to waste the family's food."

"As for the current death rate, it can be said that it has never been seen since the founding of the Xia Kingdom."

Zhao Xiao suddenly opened his mouth to report the death rate reported by various towns in the past few days.

Lin Yuxin gave Zhao 괗 an admiring look, saying, "Well done." She spoke at this moment and directly shut up Wang Feng and the others.

"Then there is only one last question now. How can the drought situation be improved? You adults can tell us your ideas."

Seeing that the elders all looked unhappy, Lin Yuxin continued to look at them expressionlessly and told them the most important thing she would face during this trip to North City.

The five ministers were nervous. This question was not easy to answer, but for the sake of a good life in the future, they had to answer it.

A few people looked at Wang Feng, and Wang Feng could only grit his teeth and speak:

"My Lord, I think it's too late to implement drought prevention measures. We can only fight drought. To fight drought, we have to build water conservancy projects and grow food. If we grow food early, the people will have food to eat. If we only rely on the little food provided by the government office, it will run out sooner or later."

Wang Feng said two words seriously.

Lin Yuxin nodded and said in agreement:

"Yes, what Wang Dayou said is correct. It shows that Wang Dayou can sit in the position he is in today because he became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice with his own strength."

Lin Yuxin's words made Wang Feng blush, as if he had bought his official position. Does the princess know how to speak?

"Since Mr. Wang has a good idea, Mr. Wang, can you tell me that this kind of food requires water? Where does your water come from?"

Lin Yuxin looked at his flushed face, sneered, and asked.

"Didn't the princess just say that the prince has found a water source today?"

Wang Feng was puzzled by the question and asked with frowned brows.

"Master Wang also said that this water was only found today. So why do you think that I am neglecting my duty? This water source was not found by me. Did it just pop up on its own?"

"Also, now that we have water, is there enough water for farming besides the people? And the most important thing is, where does the farming come from?"

Lin Yuxin asked Wang Feng a series of questions that confused him, and his righteous look just now weakened a lot.

“This…this…!”

Wang Feng's face turned even redder, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Several gentlemen said that this princess has been missing since she came to North City, and she doesn't care about the city's affairs. So, may I ask, have you ever been around the city? Have you ever been to the city to see the disaster victims? You gentlemen want to accuse me of something without any evidence, I'm afraid you are made of mud!"

Lin Yuxin didn't give him too much time and spoke again in a sharp voice.

This time, the other senior officials all blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to look up.

They had never looked around, nor had they ever gone outside the city. Every morning and evening they went to plant trees, and when they returned to their rooms they were exhausted. How could they have the energy or the mood to go and see the people?

"I know that you want to serve the country and the people, and I understand your urgency, but this matter cannot be rushed. Now that the water source has been found and food can be grown, we have to wait until the food is planted."

"I wrote to the emperor the first day I arrived in the North City, asking him to find a way to transport the seeds and food here. It should be in the next few days. You gentlemen will be busy at that time. Don't worry."

Lin Yuxin looked at the embarrassed faces of the few people, and finally gave them a sweet fruit and complimented them.

This hat is very useful. Look, the faces of several elders have recovered instantly and they are smiling.

"Hehe, the princess is right. We are just too anxious. We are also doing this for the people. I hope the princess will forgive us."

Shao Chongxiao laughed awkwardly.

Lin Yuxin didn't say anything. She just kept her eyes on the adults and just watched them.

The elders looked at each other and understood what Lin Yuxin meant. They gritted their teeth, forced a smile, and spoke one after another:

"Yes, yes, the princess does not bear grudges. We are just talking nonsense. We have good intentions."

"Haha, Princess, please let me go. From now on, I will listen to you and won't say anything else."

Lin Yuxin waited until they had all expressed their opinions before she slowly spoke:

"Okay, since you are aware of your own problems, please think about the people of North City. The suffering you are going through now is for the people of North City, for the sake of future rewards and promotions."

"I won't let it get to you. For the sake of the people, I will bear this little injustice."

Lin Yuxin said this at the end, with her brows lowered, looking a little aggrieved.

The big men opposite twitched their lips. I didn't see where you were wronged. It was obviously them who were wronged. I have been planting trees for so long, and every time I wanted to argue with you, you gave me a cold shoulder.
