Jade of Rebirth

Chapter 120 Disaster Relief

Early the next morning, Yuan Heng and Yu Li rushed to Liangzhou Governor's Mansion after arranging for the temporary governor of Qi'an Mansion.Among the four prefectures in Liangzhou, Qingping Mansion is the richest, so Liangzhou Governor's Mansion is located in Qingping Mansion, just northwest of Qi'an Mansion, and a group of fast horses can get there in half a day.

Yuan Heng, Yu Li and his party arrived at Qingping Mansion one hour after lunch. When they heard that the Ninth Prince had arrived, Liangzhou Inspector Tian Xiwen, Qingping Mansion Yin and other officials hurried out to greet them and knelt in front of the Inspector's Mansion. all over the place.

Wearing the brocade clothes he had prepared when he came, Yuli stood in front of the crowd, slowly looked around, then without telling them to get up, walked around them slowly, and led the guards into the governor's mansion.

The group of officials, big and small, who were left hanging by him had ghosts in their hearts. You look at me, I look at you, and no one dared to get up without authorization.

It was better to wait for Yu Li to sit in the hall before sending Yuan Heng to tell them to get up.

After being dismounted in this way, these officials really became more and more anxious, for fear that the "ninth princes" would get angry and take off the black hats on their heads, and even punish them for a serious crime.Before Yuli could speak, Tian Xiwen, governor of Liangzhou, said respectfully:

"His Highness the Ninth Prince, the lower officials have issued an order to ask all the prefectures and counties to take out the surplus food in the warehouse for relief, to minimize the number of refugees..."

Yu Li glanced at him, and then at Yuan Heng who was beside him, Yuan Heng immediately said understandingly: "Lord Tian, ​​what His Highness means is that the most urgent task is to provide disaster relief, so you don't want to mention the past. You just need to cooperate with His Highness, understand?"

Tian Xiwen repeatedly said yes.

Yuan Heng told Tian Xiwen about some of the disaster relief measures proposed by Yuli last night. Tian Xiwen is familiar with Liangzhou, and he is familiar with the government, temples and rich people in Liangzhou. Rely on Tian Xiwen.Fortunately, Tian Xiwen had a ghost in his heart, and he was afraid that the "nine princes" would take him to the knife, so he didn't dare to neglect it at all.

Therefore, governments at all levels took out silver taels to repair mansions, temples also recruited manpower to renovate and expand, and rich people built real estate with the encouragement of the government. Buy food so you won't starve to death.On the other hand, the government used coercive means to suppress the price of rice. At first, the rice merchants complained, but soon after they discovered that the rice merchants from other places began to compete with them, they dared not complain any more.

Half a month later, Huo Zhang and Xie Xun's group finally arrived safely. The arrival of their money and food greatly alleviated the famine. The people who had fled the famine gradually returned to Liangzhou, and the whole Liangzhou began to gradually recover.

Yuan Heng and Yu Li took the opportunity to hold various festivals in Liangzhou. The people of Liangzhou like to watch operas, so they invited various theater troupes to come.The people in Liangzhou are fond of martial arts, so they held various competitions in Liangzhou. As a result, the number of vendors gradually increased, and the demand for consumption gradually expanded. When the people had demand, the supply also expanded, and Liangzhou was no longer depressed.

However, although the temporary famine has been alleviated, how to spend the winter is still a big problem. Although large-scale construction and encouragement of merchants have solved a large part of the problem, there are still many people who cannot find work and cannot fill their stomachs. Farmers outside the city had a bumper harvest in previous years, and the farmers could survive the winter safely, but now they have no crops, the weather is cold again, and there is still a long winter, how can they survive?

Yuanheng and Yuli set off in mid-August, and now it is almost mid-October. In autumn, it is easy to get angry, and Yuli is anxious to survive the winter. As a result, a blister grew in his mouth because of the fire, and he couldn't eat any more. .

One day, Huo Zhang came to look for Yuli, and saw Yuli's bodyguard hugging him affectionately, letting him sit on his lap and feeding him porridge... When he arrived, he found that Yuli had replaced Yuan Heng, and Yuan Heng disappeared. Yu Li said that Yuan Heng went to search for evidence in secret. Huo Zhang didn't doubt it. Now that Yu Li was having an affair with the "guard", he immediately thought of a possibility...

Could it be that Yu Li had an affair with this guard, so he killed Yuan Heng and then impersonated him?

When Huo Zhang thought of this possibility, his whole body went "boom" wrong, and he shouted at the pair of "wild mandarin ducks": "What are you two doing! Let me go!"

His face was flushed with anger on the one hand and embarrassment on the other. Of course, he was even more angry.

Yu Li was startled by him, looked at him inexplicably, then reacted, and immediately struggled from Yuan Heng's arms to the ground, blushing and said: "Brother Zhang, don't misunderstand..."

"Don't get me wrong!" Seeing his reaction, Huo Zhang felt that his thoughts were right. He blushed with anger and shouted, "You, you, you, you are the wife of the Ninth Prince Mingmei! How dare you have an affair with this guard , are you worthy of him?! Also, where is the Ninth Prince? Where did you two adulterers get him!"

Yu Li's face became redder, and she looked at Yuan Heng who was standing aside watching the play with embarrassment.

Seeing his concubine blushing, Yuan Heng let out a "puchi" laugh.

Seeing his reaction, Huo Zhang was so angry that he jumped up, pointed at him and said angrily, "You, you, you, you still dare to laugh!"

Yuan Heng stepped forward to close the door, and said to Huo Zhang: "A Zhang, do you see who I am?"

Huo Zhang said angrily: "I don't care who you are, you..." Seeing the person in front of him slowly take off the human skin mask, he was stunned, as if he had been stabbed.

Yuan Heng watched his reaction, smiled lowly and said, "I am Yuan Heng."

Huo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief first, and said, "Oh, so you are Yuan Heng..." Then his expression changed suddenly, and he said in surprise, "You, you can talk?!"

Yuan Heng smiled and nodded: "Well, I can talk, sorry, I kept it from you before."

"You've been hiding it from me!" Huo Zhang was surprised and happy, but he still pretended to be angry and said, "You're really dishonest, it's hard for me to hide it from you!"

Yuan Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at Yu Li, then turned his head and squinted at him: "You called me and the prince and concubine adulterers, and you slandered him for being unfaithful, so what should I do?"

"You..." Originally, Huo Zhang was no match for him, but now he is no match for eloquence.He could only scratch his head, looked at Yuli apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I was too impatient, and I wronged people without knowing it."

Yu Li smiled and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty. If someone else sees me and him acting ambiguously after changing his appearance, he will also misunderstand. The two of us will pay attention to it in the future." Heng's heart is so anxious, Yuan Heng doesn't know a good heart, and you know how he is, so don't argue with him."

"Hehe, of course." Huo Zhang smiled silly, thinking that the princess is really virtuous, he would not be angry if he said that, but would turn the other way to comfort me, the Ninth Prince really married the right person.

Yuan Heng on the side thought that my concubine is really kind, she seems to be scolding me on the surface, but she is actually defending me!Huo Zhang, that idiot, can't tell, alas, I'm smart enough to marry such a good wife...
