Chapter 253: Rescue

Seeing this situation, An Lan felt sincerely sad.

"Give these steamed buns to everyone, and if you don't have enough, buy them quickly!" After a few simple words, An Lan walked towards the mother.

Coming to the mother and son, An Lan sent a few meat buns they had brought with them to the mother.

Before she had time to speak, just seeing these buns, this woman's eyes lit up, and she didn't care about anything else, so she just snatched the buns and gobbled them into her mouth.

Looking at her somewhat ugly appearance, An Lan did not dislike it, but laughed happily, it seemed that she should have been hungry for a long time.

Hongqiang hurriedly handed one side of the water bag in front of her, and waited for the woman to finish eating the bun, then grabbed the water bag and drank it all. After that, he wiped his mouth and looked at An Lan with a grateful smile.

"Thank you for this girl's help, great kindness, the slave family can't repay it!" She held the child and wanted to kneel down for An Lan.

Seeing this, Hongqiang hurriedly stopped.

"This eldest sister doesn't need to be polite, our wife doesn't need to say thanks, she is the female county lord who has made great contributions to water control...... "Hongqiang can't wait to praise An Lan to the sky.

Listening to her words, An Lan frowned slightly, and gave her a look, and Hongqiang didn't say much.

The woman suddenly reacted, and it turned out that An Lan was the famous female county lord. No wonder I had a strange feeling when I saw her, thinking that she was heroic and quite a woman's temperament.

"You are displaced, and the county lord is very sad, but everyone can rest assured, as long as you come to the capital, the county lord will definitely settle you properly. Later, I will order people to set up some temporary shelters here, and give porridge twice a day in the morning and evening......"

An Lan said a lot of warm words in front of everyone, and everyone hurriedly knelt in front of her to thank her.

"Everyone, please get up quickly, eat the king's Lu for the king's worries, this is what I should do, the emperor's grace is vast and blesses the people, everyone should thank the emperor for his benevolence." An Lan once again quietly praised the emperor.

But everyone is more grateful to An Lan himself than to the emperor who is on top.

At this moment, a peasant woman near An Lan suddenly fell to the ground, and An Lan and Hongqiang hurried over.

Hongqiang knows a little about medical skills, and she has taken the pulse of the past, and her face is embarrassed.

"Madam, this old woman is weak because of her old age and frailty, and she has been in the dust all the way, resulting in physical exhaustion, and I am afraid that she will ......die soon," Hongqiang informed An Lan of the old woman's situation.

"Grandma, you can't die......" Hearing Red Rose's words, a child of a few years old threw herself next to the old woman, crying and shaking her body bitterly.

The old woman's body was too weak to return to heaven, and the child could only cry out in grief here, but to no avail.

Looking at this poor child, An Lan really couldn't bear it, she glanced to the side and saw that there were many children sitting on the ground, and there were no adults next to them to take care of them.

Obviously, there are not a few children who are homeless or even lose their parents like this.

Such a picture made An Lan feel very sad in his heart. And immediately walked over and pulled the child to his side.

"People have joys and sorrows, and parting is a matter of time and ...... time," An Lan simply comforted, but the child did not cry.

They have been famine for a long time, and they have experienced too much of this separation.

"You can live here with peace of mind, and the county lord will find a way to settle you as soon as possible......"

An Lan comforted them, asked these orphaned children to be gathered together separately to facilitate management and care, and assigned some old, weak, sick and disabled people to special areas.

Almost in an hour, An Lan settled these victims properly, and then led Hongqiang back, and sent the king's servants and servants to be busy.

There are constant voices of praise for An Lan in the capital, and people are under her infection to send bedding and food to these people, so that these victims can be better cared for.

Back in the palace, An Lan took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels of gold from the room and handed it to Red Qiang.

"Now that those victims are emerging and need more food, you might as well use the money to buy food for them, and by the way, buy some shelter for them, and find some doctors to treat them, in case there is an ......epidemic among them," An Lan said methodically.

Hongqiang was stunned for a moment, and then took An Lan's silver ticket, a little shocked that their wife knew so much.

With the silver ticket in hand, Hongqiang quickly left, and the affairs of the victims were finally dealt with. In the following days, they were taken care of, and the emperor learned of this and sent special officials to settle them.

After these people were resettled, An Lan resumed the seizure of the school.

Early this morning, An Lan called Hongqiang to his side and found the housekeeper who was in charge of decorating the school.

"Butler, that adult said that the school was closed because the procedures were incomplete. Did you go through the approval procedures for the school before the renovation? An Lan asked suspiciously.

Her eyes were full of intense incomprehension, even if an old man like a housekeeper was old, he would not be so confused that he would even forget the basic procedures.

Hearing this, the butler's face was instantly difficult to see, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright.

"Princess, no matter how old your subordinates are, they will not forget this matter. The small one did submit the quasi-formalities to him, and paid a few taels of silver. Normally, this matter has been done, and it is natural to open a school, but I don't know why the officials in that area still seal the school......"

The housekeeper truthfully reported the things he knew, and An Lan didn't understand much about the trivial matters of going through the procedures. Now after listening to the housekeeper's words, I understand the reason, it is very likely that they went through the approval procedures and went wrong.

There was a little more sorrow between her eyebrows, and then she took the housekeeper, Hongqiang, and the official to the special government office where the formalities were handled.

This government was specially set up by the imperial court to manage business matters. However, anyone who is doing business or opening any storefront shop needs to register again to get a permit before it can officially open for business.

An Lan and others came here, attracting many people to watch.

When I came to this county office, I found a few people chatting there, drinking tea comfortably and enjoying pastries at the same time.

"You are also an official of the imperial court, why are you so loose!" An Lan couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words to them.

These officials don't look like they are officials, but they are no different from the gangsters in the market.

"You woman is so arrogant, you dare to come to us to make trouble, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame us for being polite, report to the official to arrest you!" These people were so angry that they pointed at An Lan's nose and began to shout.
