After Nan Yichen and Xiaodao returned to the ruined temple, they woke everyone up and set off overnight.

They don't understand ghosts, and there are many ghosts in the hairpin. He must see Xia Xia as soon as possible.

Everyone knew by looking at his face that something must be wrong, so they quickly packed their bags and set off without asking any more questions.

In the next few days, everyone basically slept in the open air and rushed towards Weicheng County.

You can already see refugees on the road, and the further you go, the more you encounter.

On this day, they entered Langya County and would reach Weicheng County in two days. So Nan Yichen ordered everyone to go to the post station to rest. After seven or eight consecutive days of traveling, they were all exhausted.

"Oh, why should we rest?" Xiaodao was a little impatient, "Wouldn't it be better to go over in one breath?"

"It makes sense." Nan Yichen smiled, took off the peach wood hairpin and handed it to him, "You just have to work hard all night to find Xia Xia and give this to her."

"But here..."

"Now that we have arrived in Langya County, unless it is a very perverted killer, I no longer need to pretend to be sick, so there are not many people in the world who can kill me now, right?"

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll take the first step." Xiaodao was happy, took the peach wood hairpin, turned around and mounted the horse, "I'll come back to pick you up when we get there." Then he rode away.

"Your Majesty, actually my subordinates can also go." Dongyang rarely took the initiative to speak.

Nan Yichen glanced sideways at him.

Dongyang hurriedly bowed his head and retreated. He was so confused that he dared to say such things. The prince would definitely be unhappy. If Xiaodao knew about it, he would definitely beat him. Oh, it's too difficult. I envy Dongming so much.

Chu Xia knew that Nan Yichen was coming. After all, Meteor basically ran once a day to deliver messages. It was difficult not to know. Therefore, when he set off, she had already started planning for the victims. The first thing was to have a place.

However, the victims were not allowed to enter the city, because there might be an epidemic, and once the disease spread, it would be troublesome. Therefore, they needed to agree to a place to be resettled, and finally found a place in the southwest of the county.

There was a fire here many years ago, and the original village was deserted. Now only the ruins are left, but the foundations of many houses are still there, so it would be easy to rebuild the houses. Here, it is completely

A refugee village can be built, and she also saw that the land here is more fertile than that in Dawang Village. If possible, setting up a greenhouse base here would be more convenient than that in Dawang Village. At least the transportation would be much more convenient.

Of course, in the future, when the disaster in the south is over and she wants to go home, she will not be forced to stay. Everything will be done voluntarily.

However, such a large-scale operation naturally requires the support of the government.

Li Shuwen fully supported it. After all, after this became King Yi's fiefdom, he became a direct subordinate of King Yi. He was directly responsible for the affairs of the fiefdom, which was comparable to the Gyeonggi Yamen of the fiefdom.

However, money is a problem, and it is impossible to rely on the little money in the yamen's warehouse.

What's more, all the money in the treasury cannot be used for disaster relief. After all, there are other things such as the army that need money. Oh, what a worry.

Knowing his difficulties, Chu Xia gave him an idea and asked him to find rich people to collect donations. There were many rich people in Weicheng County, but they were not stupid and would not take the initiative to pay. Therefore, the government needed

Give benefits.

The news that Weicheng County will become the fiefdom of King Yi has been announced, so in early summer, Li Shuwen also asked Li Shuwen to post a notice. Prince Yi's Mansion will erect a stone tablet at the gate of the city. Anyone who donates will be recorded on it. Prince Yi's Mansion will also

Those who donate more than 10,000 taels will receive plaques...

And be sure to specify that His Royal Highness King Yi will personally issue plaques to those who donate.

Li Shuwen was also smart and quickly understood the key. Scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants had a low status, so they were willing to spend money to buy a reputation. What's more, it was usually difficult for these people to meet King Yi, but now they only need to spend money to buy a reputation.

You can get an audience with the prince by doing good deeds with money, which is much better than giving gifts and asking people to use connections to get in touch with Prince Yi.

So, he asked his daughter-in-law Xu Meihua to hold a flower-viewing banquet, summoned some merchants' women to have dinner, and spread the news.

Xu Meihua is not a meandering person, she is very straightforward, but with this kind of temperament, when doing these things, the effect is better. She can get straight to the point when she sits down, and there is no need for anyone to guess why she was invited.

, on the contrary, it makes everyone feel comfortable.

After the ladies went back to convey the wishes of the magistrate's wife, the men in charge started to make plans. They were rich, but in many cases, being rich without power was not necessarily a good thing.

The city is the fiefdom of King Yi. King Yi was ordered to provide disaster relief, which will definitely require money and food. If they pay some money now, they can register with King Yi. If they get a plaque, if something happens to them, then it will be

It can save lives.

What's more, they heard that in the capital, the emperor had reduced expenses, and the princes and ministers had also donated money. If they didn't donate money, wouldn't that be against the court?

So, this thing went quite smoothly.

Within a few days, more than a dozen merchants had donated money, all of which were more than 10,000 taels. The largest family donated 50,000 taels. After everyone donated money, Li Shuwen would give them a voucher.

It has the name of the donor and the amount of the donation. Below it is Li Shuwen's autograph, and next to it is the official seal.

Each voucher is made in triplicate, one is kept by the donor, one is kept by the government, and the other is submitted directly to King Yi.

The squires were very happy when they got this. Even if they were registered with King Yi, it would be very beneficial to the future development of the family.

However, Li Shuwen was a little worried and went to Chu Xia: "Miss Chu Xia, can King Yi really admit it?" Although he knew that this woman was not simple, would His Highness King Yi really listen to her? He was still a little bit

Doubtful.

"Do I dare to joke with this?" Chu Xia looked at Li Shuwen, "I'm not tired of living." Then she took out the black token with the word "Yi" engraved on it that Nan Yichen gave her.

"Do you believe it now?"

"I believe it." Li Shuwen immediately felt reassured when he saw it, "Girl, please rest assured, I will definitely handle the matter well."

Chu Xia nodded, stood up and saluted: "Thank you, sir."
