Duan Xingzhen finally entered the customs with dozens of people, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and a puff of smoke and dust rolled past him.

Fortunately, no one is here, and this yellow sand in the sky is not a wonderful thing.

After Duan Xingzhen entered the pass, he first stopped his horse, counted the number of people, and then continued to fight the horse.

A few days ago, news had already come from here in the northwest, saying that the imperial court had sent Duan Xingzhen.

Even as far away as the northwest, the people here had heard of Duan Xingzhen's name.

In addition to the emperor of the Ji Dynasty, the most representative of the Ji Dynasty is not the mighty King of Northern Xinjiang and Prince Rui, but this Duan Shizi who can seek things thousands of miles away even if he is in the court.

Just hearing Duan Xingzhen's name, he ran out directly, and the alley was empty.

"The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince! The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince! The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

There was a loud shout, Hei Ren and Bai Nian sat on their horses, looking at the people kneeling on the ground and looking at the incomparably pious light in their eyes, and suddenly felt some depression in their hearts.

If you can use an analogy, they look at them now as if they were looking at a legendary god.

Duan Xingzhen and the others walked away, but there was still a loud shout behind them.

Several people arrived at the county office, and after Duan Xingzhen saw the county order, he handed over the things to him and asked Bai Nian to distribute them with him.

Hei Ren looked at the county order who walked away, his body was thin, and the whole person didn't look very energetic, so there should be nothing wrong.

"But the prince needs to take a break?"

Duan Xingzhen shook his head, "Take a break, let's go outside and have a look." ”

"Yes."

Duan Xingzhen took Hei Ren to walk around the city and outside the city, and found that the situation here was the same as what they had seen all the way over.

It's just that this side is a little better than before.

The two of them walked around and arrived at the place where the food was distributed, and Bai Nian saw Duan Xingzhen and immediately came over to salute.

"How many people are there?"

Bai Nian nodded, and said, "Maybe these grains are not enough at all, and the prince still needs to pass on a fold and go back to talk about this matter again." ”

"Hmm."

The two of them walked again, and when they all knew each other, they returned to the county mansion.

The county order has already returned to the house, his back is on his back, and there is only a little porridge and soup in a bowl, which really doesn't look like a county order to eat.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Tell me about what's going on here in the northwest during this time."

"Yes."

The county magistrate put the things aside, and calmly said the matter plainly, Duan Xingzhen frowned as he listened.

After the matter was finished, it was already an hour later, Duan Xingzhen said lightly, "You first calm the hearts of the people in the city." ”

"Yes."

Duan Xingzhen had just finished writing a letter and arrived in the capital, when there was a noisy sound outside the door.

After a while, Bai Nian came in.

"Shizi, some people outside the door are waiting to see you, and then thank you."

Duan Xingzhen nodded and walked out directly, and there was a tsunami of thanks outside the door.

"Shizi, fortunately you came, so we didn't starve to death on the side of the road."

"Yes, if it weren't for Duan Shizi, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the side of the road." A man who described it as withered, but had a little hope on his face, said.

One of the women even stretched out her hand and grabbed Duan Xingzhen's hand, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, really...... We don't really know what to say. ”

Bai Nian looked at the woman's hands that were a little dirty, and suddenly raised his heart, if he waited for his own son to get angry, then ......

He was ready to stop him.

However, Duan Xingzhen didn't show any signs of making a move, although he was a little uncomfortable, he just frowned.

"It's okay, the court didn't let you go, and after a few days, there will be a steady stream of food coming over." Duan Xingzhen's words were clear and orderly, "However, you still can't forget that the most important thing is to do it yourself, and then you can have enough food and clothing." ”

"The prince is right, we all listen to His Royal Highness."

Duan Xingzhen asked Bai Nian to tell them some of the most basic knowledge that they should know, and he immediately went to some places to continue to investigate, wrote down some methods that could be solved, and distributed them to the people here to let them practice.

From the northwest to Kyoto, it is only 10 million miles to pass, and the length of this period is more than ten days.

However, only a few hundred loads of grain and grass were left for their painstaking transport, and if there was no more food to be delivered, then .......

"Shizi, there is not much food left now, if there is no food sent in Beijing, then I am afraid that it will not be able to last that day."

At this moment, there is no other thought, and now there is only the word 'wait'.

Capital.

As early as a few days before Duan Xingzhen's letter arrived, the emperor had already summoned his ministers to discuss how to resolve the matter.

Although the northwest is a frontier land, it is definitely not within easy reach.

He is also the most critical place in the Ji Dynasty, if something goes wrong, the land of the Ji Dynasty will definitely be lost inch by inch.

"Your Majesty, this is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, from ancient times to the present, there have been many times in history, and now it can only be solved by our manpower."

The minister said that this matter can only be solved by investing a large amount of food.

The emperor also nodded after hearing this, after all, it was a natural and man-made disaster, but if it was really such an endless transportation of food from the capital to the northwest, the time and energy wasted would be more than a day or two.

"This matter can be discussed later, and you each discuss other better ways to arrange time, and we will discuss it tomorrow."

On the second day, the emperor first received a letter from Duan Xingzhen.

At the same time, Qin Yunluo also received a letter from Duan Xingzhen.

"The princess, the prince has sent a letter."

Qin Yunluo stood up in surprise, then took everything over, and looked at it word by word, without missing a word.

"I knew he was fine." Qin Yunluo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "It's just that I didn't think that the situation in the northwest would be so difficult, and I don't know what the situation is over there. ”

Zhen'er said with a smile, "Don't worry, the princess is so capable, he will definitely solve it properly, and then come back early, the princess can rest assured." ”

Qin Yunluo said with a smile, "Well, I'll go and talk to my mother and concubine, have you told them?" ”

"Not yet, I know that the princess cares about this matter, so I'll give it to you first."

"Hmm."

Prince Rui also breathed a sigh of relief, Duan Xingzhen hadn't been to such a far place for a long time, and now that he could know the current situation, his heart was also a lot more relaxed.
