Chapter 41 Believing in Dreams



The magistrate then immediately went to the next stop.

"Miss! You should rest for a while too." Qiu Shu brought over some hot water.

The young lady had been busy all day and only managed to gulp down a few mouthfuls of porridge for her meal.

Seeing the increasing number of injured people, Jiang Chuwei was truly powerless to help.

She was so exhausted that she collapsed on the ground, completely disheveled.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Go and take a break."

Jiang Chuwei looked up abruptly and met a pair of concerned eyes.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Chuwei exclaimed in surprise.

Now, Nanzhou is saved.

Lin Muheng looked at Jiang Chuwei, whose face and body were covered in dust and whose original appearance was unrecognizable, and felt both heartache and self-blame.

She, a woman, had been fighting on the front lines of treatment for a long time.

And he, a prince, was thinking of mobilizing soldiers from the military camp because he needed to help with disaster relief.

It took three full days from the earthquake in Nanzhou to the emperor's approval to send troops to provide support.

Upon the arrival of Prince Yu, he heard that the Jiang family's grain store had donated grain.

There is also a female doctor who is saving lives day and night.

Lin Muheng never expected that the female doctor people were talking about was the person he had been dreaming about.

Lin Muheng helped her up: "Go and rest, I'll take care of the rest."

Seeing the increasing number of injured people, Jiang Chuwei no longer refused.

She couldn't save many people on her own.

Now that the army has arrived, she should go and rest.

Saving lives shouldn't break you down.

"Go and make preparations. The government will buy all the grain from Jiang's Grain Store," Lin Muheng said.

Jiang Chuwei looked at him suspiciously.

"I had already inquired before I came, and several grain stores in the neighboring county had stored grain."

Since Jiang's grain store was not buried in Nanzhou, we should buy Jiang's grain first.

Starting tomorrow, the government will set up soup kitchens and distribute food to help everyone get through this difficult time.

Jiang Chuwei nodded: "I will have the shopkeeper prepare it, and you can send someone to buy it at any time."

This is what the imperial court should be doing.

Jiang Chuwei's hoarding of food was not for charity.

However, the imperial court was slow to arrive, and he could not simply watch the people go hungry.

Let's just hold on for now.

However, the merchants in Nanzhou did not take advantage of the chaos; those with money contributed money, and those with strength contributed strength, which prevented a serious looting incident from occurring in Nanzhou.

Jiang Chuwei returned to the grain store and explained what had happened, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial court finally sent someone.

If things continue like this, it's inevitable that they'll attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Of all the grain shops in Nanzhou that still have grain stored today, the Jiang family is probably the only one left.

They have doubled the manpower to guard the granary.

However, the aristocratic families cannot continue to provide porridge indefinitely; there will eventually come a day when they run out of food.

These problems have now been solved.

As long as the money is in hand, even though we lost money this time, we won't be left with nothing.

After washing up, Jiang Chuwei had her first good night's sleep in three days.

Early the next morning, Lin Muheng came to visit in person.

They bought all the remaining grain at the normal market price.

After the handover was completed, Lin Muheng began to dismiss everyone: "You are going back to the capital today. We don't need you here anymore."

Jiang Chuwei: ...

Even crossing the river and then dismantling the bridge wouldn't be done so quickly.

Lin Muheng noticed her question.

“Lu Yanke will definitely make a move,” Lin Muheng said.

Jiang Chuwei: "So fast?"

"Because Prince Jin is in a hurry, Father Emperor's energy is currently focused on Nanzhou, so he will naturally pay less attention to the mining of salt mines."

Jiang Chuwei said immediately before he could finish speaking, "I'm going back."

Since the Prince of Yu has said so, everything must be arranged.

Seeing Lu Yanke in such bad luck, how could Jiang Chuwei miss out?

Manager Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the silver.

Although it cost some money, it's better than not getting a penny back at all.

For some reason, Manager Wu felt that if the Jiang family donated all the grain this time, it would definitely cause trouble.

Seeing the relieved look on Manager Wu's face, Jiang Chu smiled and joked, "So doing good deeds isn't such an easy thing after all."

"Yes, I am worried. If we donate all the grain, not only will our peers be jealous and say that we are trying to gain a false reputation, but we will also arouse suspicion from the court."

Jiang Chuwei nodded: "That's true, but fortunately the results are all good."

Jiang Chuwei left the city discreetly, but somehow the news leaked out, and a group of people were following her carriage from a distance.

They didn't rush forward; they simply waved.

Jiang Chuwei knew that these were the people's most sincere expressions of gratitude.

Jiang Chuwei waved and gradually disappeared into the distance.

"Miss, all the medicinal herbs we brought have been distributed."

"Um!"

"I've also given the prescription to Your Highness."

"good!"

"The prince said he would send it to the doctors so they could prepare the medicine according to the young lady's prescription."

"good!"

As the young lady spoke each word clearly, the carriage fell silent.

Miss has been so tired these past few days!

Those prescriptions are to prevent the spread of plague after the disaster. With Prince Yu here, the doctors will do as she says.

Jiang Chuwei slept fitfully the whole way.

It seems my body is still a bit weak.

As soon as she arrived at the Marquis's residence, Granny Qiu came out to greet her: "Miss! The General has sent people to summon you many times."

Jiang Chuwei was about to get off the carriage when she turned around and went inside again: "To the General's Mansion!"

The gatekeeper chased after her, calling out, "Madam, the lady is waiting for you!"

"Then let them keep waiting!" Xia Qi replied without any politeness.

It's just that they haven't seen the young lady for a few days, so they're putting on airs and setting rules.
