Everything happened as Qin Xue had thought at first.

Those who had exchanged the disaster relief materials went back and told the queen, who was overjoyed and waited to see Chu Xinying and Qin Xuechu's good show.

"Anger this palace, you look good."

"Without supplies, I see how you can appease the hearts of the people in the northwest region."

The queen naturally imagined the picture of Chu Xinying being questioned by the emperor.

"I entrusted you with such a big responsibility, and that's what you did, and now that the people in the northwest are rioting, how to deal with it." The queen imagined that the emperor was furious, "The fool is really a fool, and he can't do anything well." ”

"Father, the emperor knows that he is wrong, please give the emperor another chance." Chu Xinying knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying bitterly.

"From now on, he will be out of royalty."

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but be ecstatic.

However, in fact, Chu Xinying and Qin Xuechu had no more troubled people in their way along the way, and they soon arrived in the northwest region.

"You are the Eighth Prince, the people here are waiting for you to come to your rescue." As soon as they entered the city gates, officials from the northwest came out to greet them.

The northwest region was similar to what the two had imagined, the sun scorched the earth violently, the land dried up and burst, and a hot wind blew, raising a thick layer of yellow sand.

The environment here is indeed harsh, the climate is too dry, Qin Xuechu's mouth is dry, and he can't help coughing twice.

"How are the people here?" Chu Xinying cares.

"I didn't have anything to eat for a day or two." The official had a sad face, "If there is no help from the imperial court, the people here really have no hope of surviving." ”

During his tenure, this official encountered a thousand-year drought, which was also unlucky.

The people in the city were waiting for help, and he gave the people as much food as he could, and now there was nothing left, and he couldn't do anything, and his heart was extremely heavy every day.

"The sun is so strong that no one dares to go out." The official said weakly.

"Have you run out of food?" Chu Xinying asked.

The official nodded: "I reported to the imperial court a long time ago, but because the distance was too far, it took a lot of time to transmit the information, and during this time, the stored grain had been eaten." ”

"You haven't eaten for a few days?" Qin Xuechu was shocked, "How can this live." ”

"There is no way, some people will run farther away to see if there are any plants to eat." At this point, the official paused, then sighed and said, "But in this weather, you have to go the same way to find plants." ”

"Fortunately, there is water in the river, and the people are so hungry that they drink water to satisfy their hunger."

Entering the city, because the sun was too fierce, the people did not dare to go out, and the city presented a barren scene, as if it was an uninhabited city.

When the relief materials were ready to be distributed, the people rushed out, only to see that their eyes were sunken, all of them were skinny, and they were all staggering when they walked.

Adults are followed by some children, these children do not have the vitality of children, all of them seem to have been absorbed by monsters, and there is no vitality on their faces.

Qin Xuechu saw this kind of picture, and felt very uncomfortable, people's willpower to survive in the bad is too strong.

She even imagined that if she was in such an environment, she could hold on for a few days.

The feeling of being hungry was too uncomfortable, although Qin Xuechu hadn't tried it, but she could imagine it.

At this time, I saw a short boy holding a bag of marijuana coming to Qin Xuechu and asking, "Can you give me a bag of grain?" ”

"Kid, how old are you?" Qin Xuechu asked with a smile at the child in front of him.

"I'm five years old today." The little one replied innocently.

"What about your family? How unaccompanied. Qin Xuechu felt strange.

"I don't have a mother, and my father is sick and can't walk, so I'm here to help him get food." Children are very sensible.

When Qin Xue heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable, the bad weather was really powerless.

For this reason, Qin Xuechu deliberately gave more food, and watching the little boy carry a bag of grain and leave tremblingly, Qin Xuechu's nose suddenly became a little sour.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xinying on the side noticed it.

"It's fine." Qin Xuechu hurriedly turned his face away, and never let Chu Xinying see that he was moved to tears.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Chu Xinying looked at Qin Xuechu, "The environment here is very bad, if you are not comfortable, go in and pay attention, and I will be responsible for this side." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not uncomfortable, the tiger can kill a few." As he spoke, Qin Xuechu continued to distribute food.

"Don't hold on." Chu Xinying couldn't bear it.

"I just think the people here are so difficult, you look at those children, they are in the stage of development, but they have nothing to eat, how can they grow their bodies." Qin Xuechu sighed, "I have to carry out a disc operation in the future, and I must not waste food." ”

Chu Xinying smiled: "I didn't expect that my lady has this understanding, and she really can't waste food in the future, and after we go back, we have to tell our subordinates not to cook too many dishes." ”

Soon, the relief supplies were distributed, and the people were able to make ends meet.

Everything went smoothly.

However, Chu Xinying and Qin Xuechu did not return immediately, but played here for a few days to understand the terrain and customs here.

The people here are very friendly to outsiders, and although there is not much food, they will still invite the two of them to dinner.

However, they were all resigned by Chu Xinying and Qin Xuechu, after all, the people here are too difficult.

After staying in the northwest for several days, Qin Xuechu found that the cultivation here was relatively monotonous. The climate is dry, but rice is the main plant, followed by wheat, and there are few other foods suitable for living in a dry environment.

So, Qin Xuechu proposed to the people around him that he could plant some plants that could adapt to high temperatures in the future, and Qin Xuechu couldn't list them yet.

Chu Xinying and Qin Xuechu got along very well with the people in the northwest, and this time the disaster relief was handled quite well, there was no riot in the northwest, there was no quarrel, and the emperor was quite satisfied after receiving the information.

According to past experience, the victims of the disaster were starving, and there was usually a rush for time, and some people even hated the imperial court and fought against the people sent by the imperial court.

However, this time it was surprisingly smooth, and the order in the northwest had stabilized.

Hearing this good news, the emperor was overjoyed, and praised Chu Xinying in front of hundreds of civil and military officials: "I didn't expect him to participate in disaster relief for the first time, and he handled it so well, not bad." ”

"I even helped to change the planting method in the northwest region, and got along well with the local people, which is very good!"

Because of the drought in the northwest, the emperor has not been so happy for a long time, and the ministers are also happy.

"Congratulations to the Emperor."

"Come on, the flying pigeon will pass the book, and the two of them will come back." The emperor began to laugh from ear to ear.
