"Xiangqing, help me find Uncle Zhang. Back at the Stargazing Pavilion, Lin Xiaoyou immediately gave an order, and he went to the inner room to change his clothes.

Seeing her rare strictness, she didn't know what was going on, so Xiangqing didn't dare to ask more and left. It didn't take long to bring Zhang Yingfu in.

"The old slave see the princess. ”

"Uncle Zhang, please don't be polite, now that the situation is urgent, I'll make a long story short. There was a famine and plague in Yanli, and many people took refuge in Dragon Studios, but now they have been stopped outside the city by the prince. You immediately order the kitchen to make steamed buns and boil gruel, the more the better. ”

Lin Xiaoyu quickly instructed that the top priority was to solve the problem of food, clothing and accommodation for these refugees. At present, Xiahou Yichen has ordered people to start building simple residential sheds, and the rest is a matter of food, as long as there is food, those refugees will not be in trouble.

"Yes, the old slave will do it immediately. Lin Xiaoyou's nervous appearance made Zhang Yingfu feel good, and replied respectfully.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to trouble Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang has been taking care of the affairs of the royal mansion, I don't know if you know anything about the industry under Lin Lanhai's name?"

Hearing her mention Lin Lanhai, although she didn't know what she wanted, she still replied honestly: "As far as the old slave knows, Lord Lin Lanhai has two properties under his name, namely Hongfutang Tea House on West Street and Jin Xiangrui Inn on South Street, and business is also booming on weekdays. ”

It's really not a loss to be the leader of the palace, just ask casually, and these will be clear. Lin Xiaoyou said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang is really capable, no wonder the deep prince appreciates it, and I will leave these reassuring things to you." ”

"The princess has won the award, this is what the old slave should do. ”

"Alright, you go and get busy with what I just said, the sooner the better. ”

"Yes. Zhang Yingfu bowed respectfully and withdrew.

After lunch, the kitchen has quickly made four large baskets of steamed buns and two buckets of gruel. Although this is far from enough, it is better to have food than not to eat at all, at least to reduce the starvation of some people.

"Princess, please wait. ”

Lin Xiaoyou ordered someone to carry things into the car, and was about to leave with Xiangqing and Lan Yu, but was suddenly stopped, turned around to look, and the housekeeper Zhang Yingfu brought a team of guards over, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle Zhang, what is this?"

Zhang Yingfu said: "The prince is not worried that the princess will go alone, so he specially ordered the old slave to accompany him with a team of guards. ”

"Let's go together. Lin Xiaoyou nodded without hesitation.

The streets of the city are as lively as ever. The refugees outside the city were hungry, miserable, and staring at each other, lying on the ground lifelessly, which made Lin Xiaoyou feel sad.

"Uncle Zhang, you guys are waiting here. At the city gate, Lin Xiaoyou said calmly to Zhang Yingfu.

"No, we are here to protect the princess in the name of the prince, in case these refugees don't know what to do and accidentally injure the princess, it will be difficult for the old slave to go back. ”

"No, they are all kind people, as long as there is food, they will not embarrass me. And now the plague is everywhere, although they are the first to escape, maybe some of them will get sick, what if you get infected? I have incense and they are all prepared, and they will not be infected. Lin Xiaoyou explained in an orderly manner.

"This" Zhang Yingfu was a little embarrassed.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Lin Xiaoyou said again: "It's better like this, Uncle Zhang, you are responsible for delivering steamed buns, and I am responsible for distributing them to them, as long as the kitchen is ready, you will send them over immediately." By the way, you're looking for someone to put up a notice to see who has clothes and quilts that they don't want, and you're collecting them all and giving them to keep them warm. ”

"Okay, the old slave will listen to the princess and do it immediately. Move your things out of the big tree outside the city. Zhang Yingfu agreed happily and waved his hand to order someone to carry things out.

Lin Xiaoyou also learned Xiahou Yichen's previous methods, but the refugees were too noisy to listen to her, so he brought a gong over. As soon as he was ready, he glanced at Xiangqing Lanyu and asked them to take out silk scarves and cover their faces.

"There's food, there's food. Seeing what they were carrying, the refugees cheered up and scrambled to get up and gather around the tree.

"Knock knock" Lin Xiaoyou struck the gong and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, stabilize your position, don't mess up, listen to me." ”

Thinking that there was something to eat, the refugees' feelings were all steady, swallowing saliva and looking at the baskets of steamed buns and listening to Lin Xiaoyou. For a moment, the cacophony of wailing was gone, and silence returned.

"When the prince heard that the people were suffering, he specially ordered me and others to distribute food to everyone. However, please don't be in a hurry and line up one by one to avoid further trouble. Things are placed here, everyone has them, now please go over there and get a bowl for one person, come and line up to serve porridge and get steamed buns. Lin Xiaoyu said sternly in the name of Xiahou Yichen.

When they heard this, they all wept bitterly and did as she was told. They are all people with families, but now their families are ruined, and they are leaving their hometowns to survive, this kind of pain is really heartbreaking.

Lan Yu and Xiangqing were still very scared, but after Lin Xiaoyu said this, everyone settled down, and none of them grabbed food and drink. Looking at this scene, the fear in my heart gradually turned into sympathy, Xiangqing sent bowls, Lanyu gave porridge, and Lin Xiaoyou was responsible for distributing steamed buns.

During this period, Zhang Yingfu and others sent steamed buns and gruel several times one after another, finally ensuring that everyone could eat. In this way, it was busy until the evening, and the residential sheds on the opposite side were almost built with the efforts of the soldiers, one row after another, simple and orderly, and there was a shelter from the wind and rain. Lin Xiaoyou divided the people into several groups and placed them separately, and only after sending the collected clothes and quilts one after another.

After completing the beginning, the rest of the things are much easier, the second day Lin Xiaoyu got up early in the morning, took a group of imperial doctors arranged by Xiahou Yichen out of the city, checked the pulse of the refugees one by one, and all those who were sick and suspected of plague were gathered and isolated for treatment, and the rest of the people had a bowl of black soup medicine for each person to prevent infection.

As soon as noon arrived, the housekeeper Zhang Yingfu sent the steamed buns and gruel prepared in the morning, and Lin Xiaoyou sent the food as usual with Xiangqing Lanyu, twice a day, for three days in a row. In his spare time, he went around the city to collect clothes and quilts that others could not use, and sent them to the refugees to keep them warm, seeing that they were so friendly, the people in the city responded one after another, taking out quilts and clothes to give to the refugees. Lin Xiaoyou and Zhang Yingfu led the people to go around, and finally the refugees were able to settle down and the plague was controlled.

However, this is only a temporary solution to the immediate problem, Lin Xiaoyou understands that the real root cause is still in the Yanli area, if it is not completely cured, the disaster will spread to Dragon Cinema City sooner or later, and even the entire country. Xiahou Yichen has not shown up for a few days because of this, and the court has not had a countermeasure, how to solve that urgent need, but I can think about the severity of the situation.

"Girl, thank you for your great kindness, if it weren't for you, what would we have become?" The victims didn't know Lin Xiaoyu's identity, and they were all grateful to see her working so hard to relieve everyone's worries, and every time they saw her, they would always gather around her to praise and gratitude.

"Everyone, don't be polite, I'm just helping people run errands, and the person who really helps you is not me, but the prince. As long as others praise her, she will all blame Xiahou Yichen, and this is true, the court has not sent grain, and all the food distributed these days is privately produced by the palace.

"Thank you, and please thank you for all of us. The refugee said, bowing to the ground and kowtowing.

"Don't be like this, everyone hurry up, I will convey your words to the prince. Lin Xiaoyou said and stepped forward to help an elderly woman. She can't afford such a big gift, she just looks at them pitiful and does things according to her conscience, because she understands the taste of leaving her hometown and losing her relatives.

"Miss, miss. As he spoke, Lan Yu ran over from a distance.

Lin Xiaoyou glanced sideways and smiled at the refugees: "Then everyone go to rest first, I'll be busy." Saying that, he walked towards Lan Yu, "What's the matter?"

Lan Yu didn't speak, pulled her to the steamed buns just delivered, lifted the cloth, and the following boxes were full of yellow steamed buns with slag, and the gruel was boiled up, all of which were made of broken rice, and there was unclean dust mixed in it. Lin Xiaoyou frowned, and asked sharply, "What's going on?"

"We have been helping refugees in the past few days, and Concubine Su said that the expenses of these days have greatly exceeded the living expenses of the palace for several months, so she privately ordered someone to buy some bad flour and broken rice cheaply to relieve the refugees. ”

"How can this be reasonable, aren't refugees human? Does Uncle Zhang know about this?" Lin Xiaoyou said angrily. On weekdays, she acts recklessly, but now she is still doing this at a critical moment, so it's no wonder that people are not disgusted.

"What now, miss. ”

"What can I do, everything has been brought, just let them eat some first, I will find a way. ”

After Lin Xiaoyou finished speaking, he walked under the tree, picked up the gong and struck it. After a while, the refugees all gathered in front of her, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, today's things may be a little rough, please eat some of them first, and I will rearrange them for everyone in the evening." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to have food, everyone says it's right. One of the refugees said.

"Yes, yes, we are not picky, we can have something to eat. The crowd chimed in.

Seeing that they didn't care, Lin Xiaoyou felt a little guilty, "Thank you for your understanding, Lan Yu, you can share everything with everyone!"

The matter here was handed over to Lan Yu, and Lin Xiaoyu returned to the palace alone, she wanted to see how that Su Zixin would explain it to her.

In the kitchen, everyone was still desperately making steamed buns and boiling gruel, and Su Zixin stood aside to supervise.

"Stop, don't do it. Lin Xiaoyou scolded.

When they saw her coming, all the people saluted her, "See the princess." ”

Lin Xiaoyou walked up to Su Zixin and pointed to the yellow steamed buns that were made, "These are my sister's masterpieces?"

Su Zixin smiled hypocritically: "Sister, this is really helpless, not only those refugees want to eat, but everyone in our palace also needs to eat, it is not easy to be in charge of such a family." ”

"Hmph, the prince is worried about the refugees, my sister did this, undoubtedly smeared his face, you eat well in the house, dress well, let me ask the prince has never treated you badly, he is a face-loving person, if he knows what his sister did, do you think he will be cold?" Lin Xiaoyou said disdainfully.

"This" Su Zixin was speechless for a while, and her face turned from red to white.

"Fortunately, I haven't done much now, it's a pity to throw it away, I think it's better to keep it, let's eat together tonight, what does my sister think?" Lin Xiaoyou stared at her stubbornly, if she agreed, forget it, if she didn't agree, she wouldn't be willing to rest.

What Lin Xiaoyou said reminded her that she had another branch at this juncture, and she would definitely get into trouble. Even if she is the queen mother's person, with the temper of the prince, she will not spare herself, "Okay, then according to what my sister said, take it as her responsibility to help the victims, and the concubine will definitely give her full support." ”

"It's best if you understand. That is, Lin Xiaoyu was rarely wasting his lips and tongue, and turned around and went out to do the business at hand.
