As the convoy got closer and closer to the city gate, Daohua noticed that many refugees gathered outside the city gate.

In the biting cold wind and snowflakes, the refugees shivered and huddled together. When they saw the convoy approaching, they all crowded around.

When the escort saw it, they immediately drew their sabers and watched the refugees warily.

When the refugees saw the guards taking out knives, they were so frightened that they stepped back one after another.

On the city wall, the general guarding the gate saw the convoy downstairs and immediately guessed that these were the family members of the newly appointed Lord Zhenfu. He quickly ordered the city gate to be opened and led people to greet them and disperse the refugees so that the convoy could

Free passage.

"This is Lord Zhenfu's family, no trouble is allowed."

Hearing this, the refugees who were staring at the supplies on the carriage with green eyes silently withdrew their gazes.

The new Lord Zhenfu was a good official. On the second day after arriving, he set up a porridge shed at the gate of the city and also had someone build a straw shed to prevent them from freezing to death in the ice and snow.

In the carriage, Daohua frowned when she saw that all the refugees were as skinny as firewood and wore thin and ragged clothes. The life of the people in Xiliang was worse than she had imagined.

Seeing that all the convoys were successfully transported to the capital, the goalkeeper general secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Last time the Xiao Mansion escort team entered the city with a large amount of supplies, the refugees rushed forward desperately, and many people were killed or injured that time.

Fortunately nothing happened this time.

The convoy entered the city and the city gate was closed again. The refugees retreated to the thatched hut, looking eagerly in the direction of the porridge shack, waiting for the evening porridge.

Xiliang implements a health management system, which does not include prefectures, prefectures, counties and other regions. The health center is responsible for both military construction and civil administration.

Liangdu, where the capital commander is located, is equivalent to the provincial capital of other provinces, and the nine guard posts below are equivalent to the capital city.

Ganzhou Guard is the guard station with the largest defense area in Xiliang, and it is also the closest guard station to Xiliao. The city of Ganzhou is built very large, and the city walls are thick and high. It looks very grand from the outside, but the city is a bit depressed.

.

There weren't many shops open for business on the street. It wasn't until we reached the center of the city that it became a little livelier.

"The economy is too sluggish."

It didn't take long for the officers and soldiers guarding the gate to bring Daohua and his party to the Xiao Mansion.

Deshou, who received the news in advance, was already waiting in front of the gate.

"Prince Princess, you have finally arrived!"

De Shou gave a small piece of silver to the gatekeepers, greeted Dao Hua and Gu Jian outside the carriage, and then led the convoy directly into the mansion through the corner gate.

......

"This mansion is quite big!"

After entering the door, Daohua got off the carriage wearing a cloak and carefully looked at the house where she would live in the future.

De Shou said with a smile: "This mansion is where all the commanders and commanders have lived, so it is naturally larger."

Daohua couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "Your eldest son is not polite at all. He is a small governor, but he actually lives in the commander's mansion."

She understands why Xiao Yeyang did this.

What I saw along the way after entering Xiliang fully demonstrated that the situation in Xiliang is very bad.

Under this situation, Xiao Yeyang did not have time to develop slowly, adjust and negotiate with others. He just had to act high-profile and domineering so that he could better implement the order in the future.

Living in the mansion where previous commanders lived is to tell everyone that he has taken over the Ganzhou Guard and he has the final say here.

De Shou took a look at Dao Hua's expression and saw that she was not surprised at all, nor did she feel anything wrong. He thought to himself that the Crown Princess understood her master.

When the master wanted to move in, he and Defu had to persuade him for a long time.

The master gave them a "you don't understand" look.

Daohua walked and asked: "Where is the prince?"

DeShou: "The master has taken people to patrol the defense area."

Daohua asked again: "Why are there so many refugees gathered outside the city gate?"

When he mentioned this longevity, he looked angry: "It's not a good thing done by the Xiliao people. Every winter, the Xiliao people like to cross the border to rob money and food. There are several villages and towns under the jurisdiction of hundreds of households that are robbed by the Xiliao people."

”

"Not only did those people from Xiliao robbed things, but also set fire to their houses. The people had no money and food for the winter and houses to live in, so they had no choice but to flock to Ganzhou City to beg for a living."

Having said this, De Shou became even more angry.

"Prince Princess, you don't even know that before the master came, no official stood up to take care of the refugees outside the city. I heard that many people froze to death and starved to death."

Daohua frowned: "The officials of Ganzhou Guard are too inactive."

The mansion has five entrances. After Xiao Yeyang moved in, he only tidied up the front yard slightly before moving in. He had no time to tidy up the other yards at all.

Daohua walked around for a while, and then asked someone to clear out the two adjacent yards.

There are only three masters at home, namely her, Xiao Yeyang and Master, so there is no need to live in too wide a space. Now that she has just arrived in a strange place, she is also worried that Master will not adapt to it, so she thinks it is better to live closer.

We will talk about other yards when she is free.

After driving for two consecutive months, Daohua and Gu Jian were exhausted. After cleaning up the house, they ate something and took a rest.

Early the next morning, while Daohua was still huddled in the warm quilt, Guyu came in and said that Deshou wanted to see her.

Listening to the howling wind outside, Daohua didn't want to get up and asked, "What does Deshou want from me?"

Guyu: "The prince previously allocated a batch of food and asked De Shou and the officials from the health center to give porridge to the refugees outside the city. Now it seems that the food has run out."

When Daohua heard this, she immediately sat up. After getting dressed and washing, she went outside to see Deshou.

"Who is in charge of the porridge shed?"

Deshou replied: "They are slaves, and there is also a governor of the guard station."

Daohua nodded and looked at Guyu and Lixia: "You two take people to check the warehouse."

Although she brought a lot of supplies, Xiao Yeyang used a lot of them. Now she has to see how many supplies are left so that she can have an idea.

Daohua looked at Deshou: "How much grain has the prince allocated before? Go and get another batch. Remember, you must take good care of these grains and avoid corruption."

De Shou nodded quickly: "Prince Princess, don't worry, I will take good care of you."

Daohua said 'hmm', and then pondered again: "I'm afraid it's not enough to just give out porridge. It's too cold outside, with wind and snow. It's too cold to stay in the house. How can those refugees outside the city survive?"

Live?"

"In this way, after you receive the food later, you can go to Guyu to get a batch of medicinal materials, and make two pots of cold-repelling medicinal soup for the refugees to drink every day."

"By the way, if you don't have enough manpower, go to Dr. Ge. He has several medical apprentices under him."

De Shou nodded in agreement: "I will do it now."

After Deshou left, Daohua put on her cloak and went to Gu Jian's yard to have breakfast with him.

In the front yard, Governor Zhang Da saw De Shou pulling several carts of grain, and his heart dropped to his stomach.
