Chapter 8: With the King of Liang coming, Liangzhou will be at peace
"Let me introduce it to you!"
Zhang Shouguosheng shouted: "This is our King Liang!"
"Some time ago, Liangzhou was hit by a disaster! Floods destroyed our homes, and the price of food soared, causing countless villagers to be displaced and even starve to death! The county governor was at his wits' end. Until today, the King of Liang entered the city, issued decrees, and raised money
, set up shantytowns outside the city to give everyone a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Starting from tomorrow, the shantytowns in the four directions will start giving out porridge. All those who have registered can exchange their nameplates for a bowl of porridge every day. It may be a little meager.
, but this also represents the determination of King Liang. King Liang wants us to live and work in peace and contentment! Folks, please work harder and build shanties tonight!"
"Shelter from wind and rain, you can rest inside!"
…
Accompanied by Zhang Shou's song.
Everyone around them became excited, and their eyes lit up, as if they had seen a good day tomorrow.
Li Rui glanced at Zhang Shou strangely.
It's a pity that this guy is a bookkeeper. If he wants to start a pyramid scheme, there probably won't be many people who can match his instigation!
"Everyone shout with me!"
"King Liang is a thousand years old!"
Suddenly, waves of earth-shaking voices broke out from the crowd: "King Liang is a thousand years old."
Everyone's emotions seemed to be infected.
"My lord, would you like to say a few words to everyone? Let everyone have a backbone..."
At this time, hope is the most precious thing. As long as you have hope in your heart, you can continue to persevere. But now, these people see the hope of living. Finally, there is someone who is willing to stand up for them and do something for them.
.
Even though these things should be done.
But they are still grateful.
Li Rui nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and took a deep breath and said: "Fellow folks, I know that the days ahead may be difficult. However, now that I am here, I will do my best. You can rest assured,
All the current difficulties are only temporary! In three years, in three years, I will bring about earth-shaking changes in the entire Liangzhou, and I will make sure that everyone in Liangzhou has food to eat and clothing to wear!"
"King Liang is a thousand years old!"
At this time, another cry broke out from the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, the emotion became contagious again. Everyone chanted along.
Li Rui didn't feel happy, but felt extremely sad. He clearly hadn't done anything yet, he just gave a hope. These things were insignificant, but even so, these people were still willing to believe him.
Even worship him as a god!
"When King Liang comes, Liangzhou will be at peace..."
At this moment, Zhang Shou's words made Li Rui feel a sudden shiver all over his body, and he looked at Zhang Shou as if it was a conditioned reflex.
Zhang Shou was so frightened that he retracted the second half of his sentence and asked with some confusion: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Did my subordinate say something wrong?"
"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of the earth?"
Li Rui asked cautiously.
"What?"
Zhang Shou was a little confused.
At this time, Li Rui took a long breath, waved his hand and said: "It's okay. Go and do your work! I will take a look here again, and then go back..."
"good!"
Zhang Shou nodded and continued his command work.
I have to admit that Zhang Shou's talent in this aspect is still very strong. Moreover, the construction of shanties is not a difficult matter in the first place. Under his command, the project progressed very quickly.
"Zhang Shou..."
After looking outside for a long time, Li Rui waved gently.
Zhang Shou hurried over and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"With so many people gathering together, hygiene must be ensured. If someone has a fever or other symptoms of the plague, they must be isolated immediately. Do you understand?" Li Rui's voice was very soft.
The hygiene issues here are worrisome!
But if you think about it carefully, people today don’t care so much about hygiene conditions.
But with so many people gathering together, other things can be omitted, but eating, drinking, and peeing are unavoidable. People have three urgent needs. As the victims gradually gather, these things will gradually increase. It is impossible to urinate around the base of the city wall.
shit!
That would just stink to the sky!
"clear!"
Zhang Shou nodded hurriedly, and then said hurriedly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have my own arrangements for these things!"
"Um!"
Seeing Zhang Shou's confident look, Li Rui felt a little relieved. He lightly patted the shoulder of the waving man in front of him, turned around and left.
Entered the city gate.
Walking on the streets of Hadong County.
He was also constantly thinking in his mind. Even if he bought cattle and sheep with two hundred thousand taels of silver, it would be a drop in the bucket if distributed. The best way is to make soup and make full use of the beef and mutton. However, even if
That's right, two hundred thousand taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket.
But at least it can make time relax a little.
It is unknown when the government's disaster relief food funds will arrive.
Not all of the letters he distributed might receive a response.
He needs enough time.
At least the victims should be able to survive within a short period of time. Li Rui felt Alexander. He finally understood that it was not that easy to be a good prince. Apart from this identity, he had nothing to offer.
There are even fewer resources that can be mobilized.
Under such circumstances, even if Li Rui wanted to do something, it would be extremely difficult.
It’s hard to walk!
Li Rui let out a long breath.
At this moment, a voice called Li Rui.
"Your Majesty..."
The sound was crisp and soft, slowly inserted into Li Rui's ears like a marshmallow, making people feel happy when listening to it.
"Um?"
Li Rui felt a little strange. It was late at night, and almost everyone in the city had gone to bed. Although there was no curfew, there were very few people going out at this time, let alone a woman?
With some doubts, he turned back!
But he found that he had passed by Wanxiang Tower. At the entrance of Wanxiang Tower, a graceful woman stood there quietly. She looked young, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
She was wearing a light green satin dress from top to bottom.
"The slave family is well-known and has seen the prince thousand years old!"
"Wen Renchu?"
Li Rui was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something: "Are you the Qing Guan in Wanxiang Tower? Wen Renchu?"
He had heard of this name, but he didn't take it to heart. The Qinghuan of Wanxiang Tower was known to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but countless men wanted to kiss her, but they all came away frustrated!
