Nangong Lian'er was shocked: "What? Where did they go?"
Cao Dongsheng shook his head: "I don't know either, I just heard from you that he went to visit the disaster victims."
Nangong Lian'er frowned: "Disaster victims? This city is full of disaster victims. Where did they go?"

A thousand dan of grain had been distributed within the morning. The imperial court issued a special proclamation: all farmers returning to their original areas would receive free crop seeds and be exempted from taxes for three years.
Pizhou was in jubilation for a while and the situation immediately stabilized.
