Chapter 24: Gusu County
Eight days later, they finally arrived in Gusu County.
Tang Xiao thought that Gusu was Jiangsu in ancient times, but after she arrived, she learned that Gusu was just a city built on the side of a moat, this city was surrounded by water, and there were no trees within a radius of ten miles, so the river burst its banks and flooded many low-lying places in the city, because the river flooded, and 90% of the population here were affected by the river disaster.
It is far away from Chuyang Kingdom, close to southern Xinjiang in the south, close to barbarians in the east, and there are Japanese robbers in the west near the sea, and the emperor has not sent people to govern because he is afraid that there are foreigners in Gusu County, so he has been delayed!
When they got here, Feng Junmo asked General Xiao to station his troops outside the city, and then the group went directly to the county guard's mansion, but there was no one guarding outside the mansion, so they walked in directly, and when they arrived in the front yard, they met a maid!
"May I ask you ......" The maid pointed at Feng Junmo and them, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Where is the county guard?" Feng Junmo asked coldly.
"Your Excellency is still resting!" The maid walked up to them and said, "May I ask ...... you?"
"Bold minion, don't you kneel down when you see Lord Jin and the princess?" General Xiao snorted.
When the maid heard that Feng Junmo was the prince and Tang Xiao was the princess, she was so frightened that she shook her spirit, and then quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"The slave didn't know that His Royal Highness and the princess were here, and I hope that His Royal Highness and the princess will forgive their sins!" The maid was so anxious that her eyes were ruddy, and her whole body trembled.
"What time are you still sleeping? Go and get him up! Feng Junmo frowned, his voice was cold, he snorted and walked towards the front hall.
"Yes, yes, the slave is going to call the adult!" The maid was covered with sweat, and when she got up, she went to call the county guard.
After Feng Junmo and the others entered Gusu County, they saw that the victims were displaced and the houses collapsed, that scene was shocking, it was like that outside, the county guard didn't even think of a way to deal with it, and he actually slept at home, but it really made Feng Junmo angry!
Feng Junmo and they didn't sit down for a long time, a middle-aged man in disheveled clothes came running.
This middle-aged man is Wuzhong, the county guard of Gusu County.
Feng Junmo saw that he was untidy, and his fists were twisted.
"The minister has lost his welcome, and I hope that the prince will forgive his sins!" Wu Zhong knelt down in front of Feng Junmo with a thud, his head lowered, his body trembling with fear.
Wu Zhong's rectangular face was full of cold sweat, and his eyes were full of shock.
"This king asks you, why are there still so many victims outside? How did you become a county guard? Feng Junmo shouted in a low voice, his face seemed to be covered with dark clouds, and a pair of eyes were like ice balls, shooting out a cold light.
"Lord Wang, the minister is also very helpless, the minister has already allocated a thousand catties of rice out at the first time, seeing that it is not enough, he also used silver to buy five thousand catties of rice to distribute to those victims, the prince, the minister has really done his duty, and I hope that the prince will be clear!" Wu Zhongdao.
"Then why are there so many victims out there?" Feng Jun looked at him steadily, and his voice was cold.
"Minister......" Before Wu Zhong could finish speaking, Tang Xiao interrupted him.
"Lord Wang, those disaster victims are like a bottomless pit, if you don't solve the roots, even if you supply them with countless grains and grass, it will not be enough!" Don laughed.
Wu Zhong raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Xiao.
I thought to myself, is this the princess of the prince?
"Wu Zhong!" Feng Junmo's voice was cold, but his face softened a lot.
"The minister is here!" Wu Zhong responded.
"How much food do you have at home?" Feng Junmo asked.
"Not much, more than five hundred stones!" Wu Zhong replied resignedly.
"Take it all out and give it to those victims, this king also brought enough food this time, it must be enough!" Feng Junmo continued, "This time, we will not distribute their grain first, we will open a warehouse to release grain, let the people line up to give porridge to drink, and then this king will let General Xiao build a simple house, so that they can temporarily have a place to live, and then repair the house for them!" ”
