The four major merchants in the south of the Yangtze River relaxed, and they divided the grains with painful expressions on their faces. Gu Siyuan saw this, and his eyes became colder.

"Here, have some." Changqing softened her heart.

The hungry little girl blinked her big eyes and looked timidly and longingly at the dried beef. She hid in her mother's arms with a thin face.

Chang Qingyou stretched the food forward and said with a smile, "Eat, these are all given to everyone by His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Take it." The woman forced a smile. She couldn't bear to starve her daughter, but now she went down the mountain to look for food, fearing that she would encounter floods. If people were submerged in floods, they wouldn't even be able to save their bodies.

"Thank you, sister." After the little girl got the answer, her eyes lit up, she couldn't wait to take the piece of beef jerky and started to eat it.

Outside the cave, several people held oil-paper umbrellas.

"Sir, is it possible that we just let it go? My subordinate was almost stabbed by that man with a kitchen knife. He is really a unruly man from a remote village!"

Magistrate Lin's expression was ashen, his fat face was no longer as smiling as before, and he opened his mouth to scold, "What kind of idiot are you, dare to offend the prince? Don't look at what time this is!"

They hurried to Xu County, and the guards were all the prince's personal guards, and the prince followed them.

If the prince gave the order, they would probably disappear without a trace, and at most they would be just a few names on the memorial.

"Idiot! It's just a little food, so what if you give it to them? What good will it do to us if we really push these unruly people into a desperate situation?"

What did Gu Siyuan say just now, where did he mention the cannibalism of the previous dynasty?It was obviously to scare the monkey and tell him!

Magistrate Lin gritted his teeth and distributed the food to a group of common people. He was reluctant to part with it and his heart was bleeding.

But if he doesn't give it, God knows what Gu Siyuan can do?

I thought it was just a headstrong prince sent by the imperial court, but after the flood, Prefect Lin no longer dared to look down on Gu Siyuan.

The wrinkles between the Li family's brows seemed to pinch someone to death, "Is it possible that we are just suffering from this? We have worked so hard to bring so much food here, but we are not just freeloaders!"

"Lord Lin, you are also aware of the current market situation. His Highness the Crown Prince has clearly promised to buy it, but what does that little money mean? A drizzle of rain is not enough."

Several people were discussing and discussing, like a few headless flies. In the cave, although the squires agreed to give out some food, if they were not allowed to spit out the oil and water in their stomachs, they would be afraid. It's a hard time.

He glanced around and found that most of the people couldn't muster energy and looked languid because their bellies were empty. Sitting would consume less energy and save a few mouthfuls of food.

Gu Siyuan walked to the center of the cave, and the guards clapped their hands, attracting the attention of the people inside the cave.

"You guys might as well listen to what I said. Natural and man-made disasters are inevitable. I know you are anxious." Xu Shao saw Gu Siyuan's eyes and raised his voice.

Looking around, Gu Siyuan was filled with thoughts as he saw faces with sallow complexions and full of sorrow.

"But His Royal Highness saved our lives, which is a great honor. If His Highness hadn't rushed here in a hurry, we would have been drowned by the flood."

"There is a shortage of food now. We all saw His Highness the Crown Prince offering to export food just now, and we are not willing to let everyone go hungry."

There was still half a piece of beef jerky left in the little girl's hand, which was naked evidence.

"If we hold on for a few more days, the people sent by the imperial court to rescue and provide relief will definitely be on the way, and they might arrive tomorrow." Xu Shao said this with a slightly guilty conscience, but it was more than enough to deceive the victims.

Gu Siyuan also stepped forward at this time, "I promise that everyone will get out of this mountain capital safely. As for the food, I will pay for the excess food of the Li family and several other family members and distribute it to you."

"I will definitely not let you go hungry if you are alone for a day."

After a few words, all the eyes focused on Gu Siyuan were filled with reverence.

To boost morale, he explained the food clearly.

After Magistrate Lin deliberated for a long time, he only came to the conclusion of waiting and seeing what happens. When a few people returned to the cave, the cloth covering the frame mouth had long been lifted, and Gu Siyuan walked over seriously and said to the leader Magistrate Lin handed over a token.

"Master Magistrate, could you please calculate how much food the people have taken? When the people from the court arrive, I will definitely buy it at the market price, as evidenced by this token."

Magistrate Lin took the hot token slightly, and the faces of the four major families following him were almost green.

They planned to hide some secretly, but unexpectedly, the prince directly gave an order for the guards to start distributing food to the victims.

Now that everything has been divided into pieces, is it possible to snatch it back from them?

Magistrate Lin grabbed the token and couldn't laugh at all. On the surface, he had to flatter Gu Siyuan, "His Royal Highness is a model of kindness for us. I really can't accept this token."

The token became a hot potato, Gu Siyuan smiled and said, "Sir Lin's kind deed has won the hearts of the people."

The token was still taken back, and Magistrate Lin was too brave to take it!
