Chapter 535: To work, we naturally have to work together (Update 2)
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually accepted the task of disaster relief, and the fact that the money from the national treasury would not be used spread throughout the court in just one morning.
Unexpectedly, this hot potato finally fell into the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Yes, this is a hot potato. The officials promoted by Lu Chengtian did not want to do it, but they could not do it.
The Jiangnan area is controlled by aristocratic families. These officials are all from humble backgrounds and have no foundation behind them. Any of them who are responsible for this disaster relief will not be able to achieve the effect of disaster relief in a very short time.
If they were given enough time, they could succeed, but the disaster situation is critical now. If they waste one more moment, one more disaster victim may starve to death.
At this time, a person with high power and authority who is not constrained by various forces is urgently needed to come forward and shock these monsters.
The prince deserves it.
This is the first time that the prince has been given an errand in public, and it is such a difficult and important errand. Moreover
, the prince did not ask the Ministry of Revenue to pay a single cent. All forces are watching and want to see the final result of this matter. As for whether they want to get involved, it depends on how the situation develops.
After the little prince decided to take on this hot potato, he knew that this matter could not be delayed. He immediately appointed his generals and issued orders one by one.
Although the young prince is usually careless, his subordinates are extremely efficient.
The moment he received the news from the secret guards, the grain from the manor had already been dispatched. No matter how fast the grain transport team moved, they could not match their speed. If they set out a few days earlier, they could cover a longer distance.
The young prince will set out a few days later because there are many things that need him to arrange.
Silver, medicinal materials, grain, and doctors are the necessary personnel for this disaster relief. Anyway, he has already reported it in the court. It should be reasonable to bring more people to the disaster area, right?
As soon as the morning court was held, the young prince started running.
The first person he caught was the court doctor Shen Yi.
The miracle doctor from the Miracle Doctor Valley has superb medical skills and is very research-oriented and adventurous. The little prince built a laboratory for him in the mansion and provided him with several cold medicines. Shen Yi was already obsessed with research and exploration.
Since the news of the epidemic has spread to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, a good doctor must be brought along.
That's right, talented people always have a bit of temper.
Shen Yi thinks that his medical skills are unparalleled in the world. Basically, he has studied all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. Similarly, he has also cured many patients with strange diseases.
However, this kind of special pill for treating colds is really the first time he has seen it, and with his ability, he really can't make a medicine that is faster than this effect.
He is so obsessed with research, how could he just give up and follow him to Jiangsu and Zhejiang?
"There are so many doctors in the palace that can't be called upon? Why must I go? I don't have time!"
The little prince said sincerely, "There's no other way. After all, your medical skills are the best. I have to go with you!"
Shenyi was a little happy to receive the praise, but he didn't lose his mind yet. "That won't work. I don't have time. My research has reached a critical stage!"
The little prince immediately took out his trump card. "How about a cart of potato chips?"
Shenyi, who had already consumed all the potato chips, pursed his lips. He hadn't eaten those thin and crispy snacks for a long time!
Shenyi, who was already crazy and excited, immediately suppressed his restless heart. If he agreed like this, he would be too easily persuaded!
Shen Yi immediately began to make demands, "I want two more pills that can reduce the damage caused by external injuries and fever. I want to study them."
When he was a military doctor, Shen Yi was a brick in the wounded camp. He moved wherever he was needed, treated external injuries, cleaned wounds, bandaged wounds, and gave medicine. Twelve hours a day, he had almost no time to rest.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't dare to imagine the effect of that small pill!
However, in that big battle, all the medicines they prepared were used up. Even if he wanted to study, he couldn't do it. He could only study the small pills for treating colds.
Now that there is an opportunity, he must not let it go.
The little prince no longer has anti-inflammatory medicine in his hand, but this does not delay his promise, "No problem, as long as you go to Jiangnan with me, I will give you a box."
Shenyi was satisfied, "Don't forget the potato chips, try to have as many flavors as possible."
Very good, this person can no longer be satisfied with the barbecue flavor.
On the surface, the little prince nodded more sincerely than anyone else, but in his heart he was wondering if the door would be open tonight?
If this doesn't work, where is he going to get potato chips for Shenyi?
No, next time he goes to the small supermarket, he must learn how to make potato chips first, just in case he needs it.
With the divine wings in place, there is hope for even the most severe disease, and the next step is various herbal medicines.
Of course, Shen Yi had to draw up an order, and the people below would try to purchase as much as possible. It was too slow to purchase from the capital and then transport to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so the young prince directly ordered people to go to nearby cities to purchase, and then transport directly to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Of course, if the other party raised the price on the spot, the young prince would definitely teach them a lesson.
As for why the grain was not purchased in nearby cities, which would be closer to the disaster area, it was naturally because these big grain merchants liked to take advantage of the fire, wait for the price to rise, and make a fortune from the national disaster.
The young prince would not let these people get their wish!
After taking care of Shen Yi, the next thing to do is the second prince and the students of the Imperial Academy under his command. Many of these people did not take the regular imperial examinations, but planned to take the examinations to become minor officials. They studied miscellaneous subjects such as chemistry, agriculture, and medicine. This time, they were just released to practice.
As for the second prince, as their teacher, he naturally had to lead the team and manage it. Otherwise, if all the students left, what would he, as a teacher, do in the Imperial Academy?
Enjoy life?
How could that be possible?
Think about it, as a prince, he has to work hard, how can the second brother be so free and easy?
Needless to say, the third prince, since the Shandong area involves his uncle, since he has agreed, he will naturally go into battle himself.
The remaining fourth and fifth princes will not be able to escape.
After the disaster relief, there is still the need to control the floods, so the fourth prince from the Ministry of Works will naturally take action.
As for the Fifth Prince, since he is so good at doing business, those big grain merchants will of course let him deal with it. Could it be that he, a weak, pitiful, and helpless prince, should be asked to go?
Of course not!
The princes who received the notice agreed very readily. This was the first time that their younger brother, the prince, asked for help. As an elder brother, he naturally had to help!
They acted quickly and set out early the next morning after receiving the notice.
The young prince was also very kind and sent them to the city gate. Everyone looked at each other, and it was the injured Second Prince who spoke first, "Why don't you see your elder brother? Is it because your elder brother doesn't want to help you?"
Thinking of this, the Second Prince was in a very bad mood. Although the Sixth Brother was the youngest, he had helped them so much in the past two years, but the eldest brother actually failed at this critical moment!
