Sunan Cheng's tent is not big or small, with two wooden frame beds. Sunan Cheng sleeps one, and Cheng Ming sleeps one. Li Song went to sleep in the back tent.

None of them had an accident in the first night.

This night, Sunan Cheng still relaxed and slept well.

When I got up, I felt a sore back and legs, the consequences of riding a horse yesterday. But if you continue to ride for a few days, you will probably get used to it.

Obviously, the prince was not feeling well, although he was in a car yesterday, he was bumpy enough.

Today, the carriage has no shock absorbers.

Just took a bite at the camp, but the sky was not completely bright, and the group had already set off again.

Halfway through, the prince probably couldn't stand the bumps, so he simply came out to ride a horse.

Even though it was already the beginning of August, the weather was still very hot, and it didn't feel cool at all.

And now it's still going north, and it's the same.

Along the way, most of the fertile fields were yellow.

In fact, the autumn harvest has not yet arrived in the north, but due to drought, the crops are half dead.

Either it doesn't grow at all, or it grows and it doesn't bear fruit.

As I traveled north, I met countless refugees who were heading to Gyeonggi.

Because after all, the prince and his party brought thousands of soldiers and horses, and no one dared to provoke them.

But the eyes of those victims were too desperate.

They didn't even have a sense of the group, and knew that they couldn't get food anyway, so they didn't bother to care.

Su Nancheng has a heavy heart, now these people are like this, are they far from starving all over the wilderness and eating with their children?

After all, along the way, there are many corpses seen from afar.

Although they walked on the official road, they could see it clearly.

I can only pretend that I don't see it.

Probably because this trip was too anxious, the prince was not prepared, and the same was true for those who wanted to do it.

So seven days later, at dusk, they still arrived in Luancheng.

Standing outside the city, you can't see the situation inside. But along the way, whether it is the surrounding county or village, many houses have collapsed, and half of the villages are doing funerals. Whether it was starved or stoned to death, it is difficult to say.

Local officials and those who had come to help the disaster had already received the decree and came out to greet them.

However, Su Nancheng looked at it, and everyone was not very enthusiastic.

It's not as good as the people who followed the abolished prince when he went south to Xianzhou. At that time, there was no prince himself.

Looking at the lonely scene now, the time and place are not right, and the local people can't take care of the people from the capital.

As soon as you enter the city, you can see the consequences of the ground moving.

The city gate and city walls are still in good condition, probably because they are maintained every year, and they were originally built solidly.

But in the city, it was a mess.

Two-thirds of the dwellings have collapsed, and the remaining third is crumbling.

A lot of the houses are cracked.

The city was probably a two- or three-story restaurant or something, but all of them collapsed.

It is also good that the mansions of some wealthy families and city officials are repaired every year. Some houses were also collapsed, and overall the damage was minimal.

Because it didn't rain, the streets were full of victims, and these people had escaped the movement.

But with nowhere else to go, they may have dug up some pots and pans from their collapsed houses, or bedding and clothing.

I didn't want to leave, so I lived in the ruins of the house that had collapsed.

The people who came for disaster relief only set up porridge sheds, and the imperial doctors opened a few points to treat people.

But where is this enough?

Su Nancheng looked at the city like this, his brows furrowed.

What does this look like after a disaster?

The crown prince also frowned, completely unaware of how to appease the people.

Although he changed into a gorgeous dress when he was outside the city, and he made a lot of fanfare when he entered the city, the people around him did not care as much as he imagined.

They also bowed, but their eyes were full of doubt and indifference.

The prince came, but he didn't bring food or supplies.

What's the use?

For the people of Luancheng, this is just a high-ranking person, and it will not help their lives much.

The group was received to a separate courtyard of Taishou's house.

This Gao Taishou had a sallow face and a bitter face. Tall and thin, about forty or so long.

"Now there is really no place to live in the city, so I can only grieve His Royal Highness the Prince."

"It's okay, it's good to have a place to live, and if it's really bad, it's okay to live in a tent. What are the plans for the city now? Don't know how to help with disaster relief? The prince asked.

This question, Lord Gao had a bitter face, and the household officials who accompanied him were also bitter.

"At the moment, we can only make porridge once a day, and continue to use the wood that can be used in the collapsed houses. Organize the uninjured people to rebuild slowly. Gao Taishou shook his head and sighed: "It's okay to say in the city, but the counties and villages below are more serious, hey......"

The prince didn't understand it anymore and didn't refute anything.

But he didn't ask, someone said.

The household officials hurriedly said: "It's not that we don't do a good job of disaster relief, it's really ...... His Majesty only said that Luan Cheng would open a position...... But where is the food? ”

"In the past few years of war, the northwest has been requisitioned several times, and our Luancheng is also a poor place, how can there be so much food?" Gao Taishou's eyes were red.

"No money, no food, how can we provide disaster relief?" Lord Tobe Lu shook his head: "How do you do this?" ”

"Then you can't just wait, can you?" Su Nancheng asked: "Along the way, I met many victims who flocked to Gyeonggi. In the winter, they will be driven away, and they will have to come back. I'm afraid there will be chaos when the time comes. ”

"What Master Su said is very true, but we can't do it. No matter how anxious you are, you can't change money and food. Now I can only persuade those rich people in the city to buy and sell. It's just that the weather is not good this year, and they are choking enough. Gao Taishou said the official on this side.

"I just came here today, and I don't know what the situation is, but I can discuss this matter tomorrow. Always see for yourself. The prince said.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that you are tired today, why don't you rest first, how about Rong Chen and others to pick up the wind for you?" Gao Taishou said busily.

The prince nodded in response.

I don't know anything at this point, it's dark again, and there's really nothing to say.

After a while, a meal was set up in the main hall.

Even if the people outside don't have food now, but when the officials receive the prince, can the food be ugly?

There are more than 80 dishes on this table, and there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish.

There is also venison, beef and sheep, and even fresh vegetables that are in short supply.

It can be seen that this Gao Taishou is also capable.

Su Nancheng didn't say anything, followed the meal, and then retired to arrange security.

With the deputy commander of the infantry battalion.

Walking a little farther out of the main hall, Deputy Commander Ji sneered: "There is no money and no food for disaster relief, and I don't know how many people can be fed by replacing this meal with coarse grain." It's disgusting. ”

Sunan Cheng sighed and looked up at the night sky: "What can we say?" Just protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from having an accident. ”
