Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

"Yes, Your Highness. I will prepare it right away." Butler Chen responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zeng Zhengen.

"Your Highness, there is no need for a generous gift. Just promise to do me a favor." Zeng Zhengen said calmly.

King Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Doctor. Since I have made a promise, I will not break it. As for this thank you gift, please accept it. It is a token of my appreciation."

King Liang had a gentle attitude. Although Zeng Zhengen felt a little helpless, he could not refuse any longer and had to nod in agreement.

Seeing that she finally agreed to accept it, King Liang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Divine Doctor, what can I do for you?"

Talking about business, Zeng Zhengen's expression also became serious: "Your Highness, I am actually a refugee who fled from Qingping County. Because the government of Lingzhou City was unwilling to take in refugees like us, we went all the way south to Jinzhou City. When I passed by the city gate, I saw the notice issued by Your Highness. It happened that I knew a little about medicine, so I came to try. I thought that if I could cure the prince, I would ask Your Highness to give us refugees a place to stay."

After hearing this, King Liang frowned, his eyes growing more angry: "Are you saying that the government of Lingzhou City refused to take in refugees?"

At this moment, the anger of King Liang had almost become real. If the officials of Lingzhou City were present, they would have been burned to death by his anger.

Zeng Zhengen didn't know the inside story, but she still told King Liang everything she had heard. After hearing it, King Liang became even more furious, and smashed the stone table beside him with a palm, shouting: "This is simply outrageous!"

Seeing this, the guards beside him hurried forward to clean up the broken stone table. King Liang realized his loss of composure and looked at Zeng Zhengen apologetically: "Divine Doctor, I was a little out of control just now, I'm really sorry."

Zeng Zhengen shook her head and said gently, "Your Highness loves the people like his own children, and I can understand that."

After hearing this, King Liang's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he immediately suggested: "Divine Doctor, since you haven't found a place to settle down yet, why don't you settle down in Jinzhou City? I will have someone buy a house, and you can move in directly then."

Although the proposal of the King of Liang was full of sincerity, Zeng Zhengen politely declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to adapt to the life in the city for the time being. I still hope to settle down in a nearby village."

She explained that most of the villagers had no skills, and if they were all settled in the city, it would be difficult to make a living in the long run. On the contrary, in the village, everyone could reclaim wasteland and grow crops, so at least they would not have to worry about food.

King Liang obviously did not expect her to refuse. He was slightly stunned and then asked, "Has the genius doctor thought it through? Although there is land in the village, it also means that you have to work hard to cultivate it yourself."

"I have made up my mind. It is more suitable for us to settle down in the village," Zeng Zhengen said firmly.

Seeing her firm attitude, King Liang stopped trying to persuade her and nodded, saying, "In that case, I will send someone to take you to the government office to register and choose a suitable village to settle down."

Zeng Zhengen smiled slightly when he saw this, and bowed to King Liang and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Prince Liang nodded, and then said gently: "Divine Doctor, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Prince Liang's Mansion to ask me for help. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best."

Zeng Zhengen thanked him again and left with the entourage arranged by King Liang. Before leaving, Butler Chen brought a large tray of gold, silver and jewelry and handed it to her respectfully.

"Miracle doctor, these are the thank-you gifts that the prince specially prepared for you. Please be sure to accept them." Butler Chen smiled kindly.

Looking at the tray full of gold, silver and jewelry, Zeng Zhengen was delighted and secretly sighed that King Liang was indeed generous. "Thank you, Your Majesty!" She accepted all the treasures without hesitation.

After leaving the Prince of Liang's mansion, Zeng Zhengen went straight to the city gate, taking Pan Yang and others with him. When they approached the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate were surprised to see Zeng Zhengen appear safely, as if they had seen a ghost.

"You...you actually came out?" An officer pointed at Zeng Zhengen and asked stutteringly.

Zeng Zhengen gave him a sly smile and said innocently, "Sir, I told you before that I can definitely cure the prince's illness, but you don't believe me."

After hearing what she said, the shocked expression on the soldier's face became even more interesting. "You... you really cured the prince's illness?"

This is simply unbelievable! The officers and soldiers had always thought that Zeng Zhengen was just an ignorant young lady, but they didn't expect that she really had such medical skills.

Seeing the officers and soldiers so surprised, Zeng Zhengen laughed even more happily: "Yes, if I hadn't cured the prince's illness, why would the prince send someone to escort me out?"

After Zeng Zhengen finished speaking, she pointed at the guard beside her. The officer finally realized that the person who followed her out was actually a guard from the palace, and immediately no longer had any doubts. He looked at Zeng Zhengen in shock, and in the end he could only watch her walk away.

After leaving the city gate, Zeng Zhengen walked straight towards Pan Yang and others who were anxiously waiting. Although they were already anxiously waiting, they could only suppress their inner anxiety and wait patiently when they thought that Zeng Zhengen was here to cure the prince's illness.

Seeing Zeng Zhengen coming back, Pan Yang immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Zeng girl, is everything going well?"

"It's going pretty smoothly," Zeng Zhengen nodded with a smile, "Uncle Pan, tell everyone to pack up. We'll go into the city to register right away, and then we can settle down."

Hearing this, Pan Yang's face suddenly turned red with excitement, and the villagers around him also showed expressions of disbelief.

"Zeng girl, is it true? Can we really settle down?" a villager asked nervously. Others also looked at her nervously, expecting a positive answer.

Zeng Zhengen smiled and nodded, saying soothingly: "King Liang has agreed to settle us. Everyone, pack your luggage quickly. We will go into the city to register at the government office and then choose a village to settle down."

Upon hearing the news, the villagers immediately cheered and an atmosphere of excitement spread throughout the team.

"That's great, we finally don't have to flee everywhere anymore!"

"Yes, I can finally settle down in one place. I finally have hope for the future!"

Zeng Zhengen saw the villagers' joy and felt extremely relieved. She looked down at Zhang Jiahu beside her and asked softly, "Mom, now that we have settled down, do we not have to run around anymore?"

Zeng Zhengen rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaohu, we will live here in the future."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiahu and his brothers jumped for joy.

Soon after, Zeng Zhengen led the villagers into the city and headed straight for the government office. Accompanied by the entourage of Prince Liang's mansion, the officials of the government office were extremely respectful to Zeng Zhengen and his party, and even the county magistrate came out in person to greet them.

In the yamen, everyone first registered their household registration according to the rules. Then the county magistrate personally appointed officials to select several villages with good conditions for them to settle down.

This kind of treatment is not something that ordinary refugees can enjoy. It is all because of King Liang’s care that the government office treats Zeng Zhengen and others with such courtesy.
