Chapter 0201 Borrowing Money and Food
The prince was silent for a while and then nodded: "That's it!" If you can't do it this time, you won't have the face to go back to the palace. It's up to you. ”
There is no second way.
Before he came, he thought that by being the crown prince, he could convince the local people. It's also that he has a lot of things on his head.
Believe that you must have food and eat, and believe in you when you are hungry?
"If Your Highness decides, go out and make it clear to the villagers. lest there be change. Sunan Cheng said.
"Lord Xiao Su, this thing is too dangerous." Deputy Commander Ji frowned.
"It doesn't matter! Lone believes that the people are reasonable. "The prince has decided.
“…… Anyway, the minister is only in charge of guarding His Highness. But Your Highness, don't worry, the minister will go outside to make arrangements first. No mistakes. ”
What if there is a bad man among the people? Hide a bow or arrow, he can't afford something to happen to the prince.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Su Nancheng and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
After he left, the prince pulled Su Nancheng: "Holding jade, Lone can be regarded as helpless now." Fortunately, you are willing to come up with ideas for Lone, and Lone is really grateful to you. ”
"Your Royal Highness is serious, Weichen has today, and it is all promoted and reused by His Majesty. Wechen has done his best for His Majesty all his life. Your Royal Highness is the same, you are the prince, the future Majesty, and the ministers are loyal to His Majesty Dayuan in this life. Sunan Cheng said.
"Good! Good! After returning to the palace, he will definitely tell his father. You can rest assured, no matter when, Lone will not treat you badly. You and I are in trouble. The prince patted Sunan Cheng on the shoulder.
At this time, it is not easy for someone to stand firmly on his side.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Nancheng said: "Your Highness waits, and Weichen will also go and arrange it." No matter what, there are always people who are in a hurry. lest I injure you by mistake. ”
"Okay, let's go, Lone also go and prepare." Let's change your clothes, I originally wanted to make a good appearance today, but now I look at it, it's too exciting.
Half an hour later, the gate of the annex opened.
The first to come out were Deputy Commander Ji and several officials from Sunan Cheng.
The household officials and local officials who came to provide disaster relief did not even come for a long time......
It can be seen that this new prince is really a paper lake.
As soon as they saw that an official had come out, the people became excited again.
Niu San stepped forward and shouted: "Don't quarrel with each other on a blind date, listen to me." Our prince is here for disaster relief, and it's really disaster relief. Listen to me quietly. I don't want to argue with you anymore. ”
At first, people really didn't listen.
Su Nancheng frowned and stepped forward: "Do you want to solve the problem or do you want to make trouble?" Isn't it dangerous to be the crown prince here? Are you hungry? And kung fu foolishness? If you're not afraid of starving to death, just make trouble! ”
Although Su Nancheng is young, he wears light armor, and he looks like an official.
When these few shouts came out, the people below were a little afraid.
After all, they still knew that the prince couldn't be messed with.
"You're saying it easy! What to take for disaster relief? A bold half-grown man shouted.
Sunan pressed his hand and continued: "You said well! What you can't do, the prince can't do? Since he can't do it, what will he do? But no matter how much there is, it is not a matter of all at once. You have delayed a great event today. Do you know how miserable the people outside the city are? How many of you have died of illness and starvation after you have delayed this half-day effort? Why don't you shut up and listen? ”
The kid was so scared by him that he didn't dare to blow up.
An old woman asked cautiously, "Can the prince really manage us?" We're just ordinary people. ”
"What are you talking about? No matter what else you prince is doing here? Could it be that the officials here can still starve to death? We escorted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all the way to this place for you. Could it be that the palace is uncomfortable? Want to come to you to suffer? Su Nancheng stimulated them with simple language.
As soon as he said this, some people laughed.
Su Nancheng pressed his hand again: "Okay, don't make any noise, then ask His Highness to come out and speak." Don't argue, if you make any more noise, you'll be arrested. ”
Everyone shrank their necks in fright, and the anger dissipated a lot.
Soon the prince came out.
As soon as he came out, his face was full of shame: "It's all lonely, it's not the court, it's not you, so you have suffered." ”
He choked up as he said this.
Those with shallow eye sockets below have already started crying.
The prince comforted the people for a quarter of an hour, and only after a quarter of an hour did he change the subject: "This year is not easy, there is a great drought in the north. There is still a war in the northwest, and there is a lot of water in the south. The imperial court can't do anything, and it really can't come up with silver and food for a while. ”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere that had just been eased below was not good again.
There is no food or money, and you just say that we have suffered, that is not good.
Seeing that they were going to quarrel again, Su Nancheng hurriedly said: "Shut up and listen!" Can you starve to death if you listen to this half-hour speech? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't finished his sentence. ”
Although everyone is not angry, after all, it is true that they are not in a hurry for this moment.
The prince then took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and after wiping it off, he continued: "The imperial court really can't draw a lot of money and grain for a while. But this Luancheng locality is not really out of money. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people below became excited, and they hurriedly shouted and asked where it was.
The prince hurriedly stopped everyone's voices: "It's just that I can't come alone, I'm afraid that there won't be one for a while." If you are lonely, you will have it. Please don't worry, folks. Lone went to ask the rich families in the city today, those old men borrowed food, borrowed money, if they didn't come, Lone went to the house to ask for it. Within ten days, I will give you an explanation. ”
Everyone looked at each other and discussed, but they also felt that if the prince opened his mouth, those old men would still give face, right?
And while the prince was saying this, from time to time people from the back of the crowd ran around to report the news.
The officers and men guarding did not stop anyone who saw it.
"Do you understand? Now let's disperse, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that ten days is ten days. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally borrowed grain, and there will be no mistakes, so you can go back. Sunan Cheng said.
An old man actually knelt down: "The old man thanked His Royal Highness the Prince for help!" ”
As soon as he knelt, everyone knelt down one after another, thanking the prince.
The prince stood on the steps, his heart beating rapidly.
Slowly let out a sigh: "Everyone, get up, it's all lonely, aren't you." Gu will stay here, see if you can rebuild well, folks, get up, we have to unite as one. ”
And when they had risen, they dispersed one after another.
A lot of people are crying.
Maybe it's moving, maybe it's sentimental, maybe it's feeling like there's finally hope.
The prince returned to the courtyard, and at the door, Deputy Commander Ji frowned softly and asked Su Nancheng: "The words are out, what if you can't borrow it?" ”
Sunan Cheng smiled: "Can't borrow it?" Ten days later, if you can't borrow this group of people today, or more people than today, it won't be another courtyard. I wish I couldn't borrow it. ”
