Disaster relief is not something anyone can do if they want to. If it were normal, even if Jin Feng wanted to provide disaster relief, local officials would be in trouble and try their best to get the relief food into their own hands. They would steal at least half of it first and then distribute it to the victims.
Jin Feng had encountered this kind of situation in his previous life, let alone Dakang, who had corrupt officials.
But this time, no one dared to embarrass the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, not only the county guards but also the county magistrates.
As for the lower-level officials in villages and towns, whoever dares to bare his teeth will be beaten by the bodyguard.
Many petty officials were still unconvinced after being beaten and went to the county government to cry to their backers, only to be severely punished by their backers.
It's not that the governors and magistrates in various places have changed their temper, but that they have better information than the small officials in the villages and towns. They know what happened in Xichuan City a few days ago, and they know that the Ninth Princess and Qing Xinyao are serious this time.
All those dignitaries were arrested, and one of them was beheaded and his body was hung outside the city. With people like them, would the Ninth Princess still show mercy when he was beheaded?
Shocked by the Ninth Princess's thunderous tactics, the disaster relief work went very smoothly.
In the following time, the disaster relief area will be centered on Xichuan and expand in a fan-shaped direction to the south, northeast and three directions.
Every day, countless people borrow grain from Jinchuan Bank and then enter various construction sites nearby the next day.
After receiving the news, Jin Feng, Ninth Princess and others finally felt relieved.
"Wuyang, what should Fatty Xu and the others do? It's okay to be locked up in the dungeon all the time."
Qing Xinyao put down his tea bowl and asked.
Several people have looked for him in the past few days.
These people are all lobbyists hired by various families, some covertly reminding them, and some explicitly threatening them.
Let Qing Xinyao take the trouble.
When the Ninth Princess heard this, she subconsciously looked at Jin Feng.
But Jin Feng lowered his head and blew the tea leaves as if he didn't hear Qing Xinyao's words.
The Ninth Princess immediately understood what Jin Feng meant and said in a cold voice: "Didn't we agree before? Let's behead him on another day and show him to the public!"
"Wuyang, I have sent someone to confirm. Fatty Xu and the others really have no food in their hands. How about letting them go?"
Qing Xinyao asked tentatively.
The powerful people are deeply intertwined. The Ninth Princess arrested too many people this time, and almost half of the court was involved.
If Fatty Xu and the others are killed, the court will be shaken violently.
"Let it go?" Ninth Princess put down the tea bowl and said coldly: "Impossible!"
"But Wuyang, the power behind this group of people is too huge. Once the news reaches the capital, His Majesty will be in a very difficult position!"
Qing Xinyao continued to persuade: "Stay a line in doing things so that we can meet each other easily in the future. We have already got the food we want, so why bother to kill them all?"
How could the Ninth Princess not understand what Qing Xinyao said?
So, she turned to look at Jin Feng again.
But Jin Feng was still staring at the tea bowl, with no intention of answering.
The Ninth Princess sighed silently and said: "Brother Xinyao, actually arresting them and beheading them have the same meaning. They are breaking up with the family behind them."
"Wuyang, have you really thought about it?" Qing Xinyao asked: "If you cut it with this knife, you can't take it back."
"Think about it!"
The Ninth Princess was also a decisive person. After confirming that Jin Feng had made up her mind, her tone became firm: "It's time to show those families who belongs to the world!"
Seeing this, Qing Xinyao's expression became cautious: "Then when are you planning to carry out the execution?"
"Brother Xinyao, you just reminded me that these people need to be killed quickly, otherwise I'm afraid they won't be able to kill them when the imperial edict comes down."
The Ninth Princess turned her head and glanced at the sundial in the yard: "Qin'er, go and get the dungeon ready and send them off at noon."
"Is it noon today?"
Qing Xinyao was so frightened that he stood up directly.
Jin Feng couldn't help but raise his head.
It was already past midnight, less than an hour away from noon.
"If brother Xinyao has other ideas, you can just make arrangements."
Princess Ninth's tone returned to her usual calm tone.
His face was calm, not as if he was discussing the life and death of a powerful person, but as if he was discussing what to eat for lunch.
"I……"
Qing Xinyao opened his mouth, but in the end he did not dare to say anything.
The Qing family is now under great pressure. If he intervenes and executes these powerful people again, the powerful people will tear the Qing family apart.
So after Qing Xinyao sat down again, he also started to look down at the tea bowl and let the Ninth Princess arrange for Qin'er to leave.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent.
Qing Mulan felt too depressed. She suddenly remembered Jin Feng's reminder at Yulei Mountain and said, "By the way, sir, didn't you ask me to remind you about cotton?"
"cotton?"
Princess Ninth also used the topic to ask: "Sir, what is cotton?"
"Cotton is..."
Jin Feng told the Ninth Princess and Qing Xinyao about the cotton again.
"If I, Dakang, get such a magical thing, it will definitely benefit countless people!"
After hearing this, Princess Ninth's face turned red with excitement: "Sir, do you think what the master said is credible?"
Before in Xihewan, Jin Feng told her about potatoes and corn. Princess Ninth was shocked at the time, but later she calmed down and found it unbelievable.
Because according to Jin Feng, these are all from the mouth of a wandering expert.
Since the expert has been to that continent tens of thousands of miles away and seen potatoes and corn, why didn't he bring back some seeds?
So the Ninth Princess later listened to it as a fairy tale.
As a result, Jin Feng also said that there was something called cotton thousands of miles west of Dangxiang and Tubo.
It is out of reach tens of thousands of miles away, but you can try it in Dangxiang and the west of Tubo.
This made the Ninth Princess very excited, but at the same time she was a little unsure about the authenticity.
"It is absolutely trustworthy. Without the guidance of experts, I, Jin Feng, would not be where I am today!"
Jin Feng said categorically: "And whether your Highness believes it or not, I will do it. Your Highness will know it when the cotton is found."
"Sir, are there really other countries to the west of Dangxiang and Tubo?"
Qing Xinyao asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"Of course! This time when I went to the East China Sea, I heard from the people in the East China Sea Navy that many European pirates have appeared frequently in recent years. If Lord Qing doesn't believe it, just ask him when you meet Lord Wei later."
"I have seen the Europeans you mentioned in the memorial," said Ninth Princess. "The memorial said they were all blond and blue-eyed. Is it true?"
"Yes," Jin Feng said: "The expert calls the land we are on the Eurasian continent. We are in the easternmost part of the continent, and the Europeans are in the westernmost part of the continent. The expert said that there has been constant fighting there for years. I don't know yet.
what's the situation."
The historical process of Dakang is completely different from its previous life, and Jin Feng is not sure about the current situation in Europe.
"Then outside of Eurasia, are there other... continents and countries?"
Qing Xinyao asked again.
