Disaster relief does not mean that you can do whatever you want.
In fact, as long as the imperial court is not extremely mediocre, it will allocate relief grains in times of famine.
But it would be great if 10% of these disaster relief grains could fall into the hands of the people.
The rest was embezzled by officials at all levels, and then sold to the people at high prices.
This is also the reason why Jin Feng frantically raised food so far in advance.
Because these corrupt officials have no hope at all.
They will not sincerely provide disaster relief. They will only take advantage of the famine to squeeze some money out of the people.
If he had been in Xichuan, he could still make decisions on the spot.
But now that he is going to Jiangnan, he can only entrust the disaster relief matters to the Ninth Princess and Qing Xinyao.
As for his previous plan, he had no choice but to give it up.
Now he just hopes that his food can really be used for the people.
"Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to supervise you. If anyone dares to use the disaster relief food, I will chop him up!"
Ninth Princess solemnly promises.
"hope so!"
Jin Feng nodded slightly.
The only ones he can count on now are Ninth Princess and Qing Xinyao.
Afterwards, the three of them discussed some specific disaster relief matters, and Zhang Liang rushed outside the tent with three hundred black-armored bodyguards.
There were also three hundred new soldiers accompanying him.
They were temporarily selected by Zhang Liang.
There are elites who come for practical learning, and there are also those who are responsible for transportation and logistics support.
"I am leaving."
Jin Feng hugged his fists towards the Ninth Princess and Qing Xinyao, then got on his horse.
"Sir, please take care of me. If anything happens, please send me a message immediately."
The Ninth Princess raised her head and explained.
Jin Feng nodded and left with the cavalry.
Before turning at the foot of the mountain, Jin Feng looked back at the Dangman Slope and the camp in the distance.
The Ninth Princess stood on a huge rock, facing the direction where Jin Feng left.
The bright red cloak flutters in the wind.
Seeing Jin Feng turn his head, he quickly waved.
Jin Feng turned around, smiled, turned around and disappeared at the foot of the mountain.
The Jinma River can directly connect to the Yangtze River, and then follow the river downstream to reach the south of the Yangtze River in a short time.
Han Feng had already sent people to the Jinma River in advance to prepare a big boat.
As soon as Jin Feng arrived with his cavalry, the new recruits immediately began to move things onto the ship.
The Zhenyuan Army was established not long ago, and the training of new recruits has not yet been completed.
Jin Feng stood on the shore and told Zhang Liang again that during his absence, everything should be done safely.
Neither of them noticed that on the top of the mountain in the distance, there were several people in white robes watching them.
After confirming that Jin Feng had boarded the boat and left, the leader in white robe said: "Go and inform the Lord that Jin Feng is gone!"
"yes!"
The two men in white robes immediately went down the mountain and left on horseback.
In the afternoon of that day, two eunuchs from the capital found the Ninth Princess in Qing Mansion.
They also brought Chen Ji's imperial edict.
In the imperial edict, Chen Ji asked the ninth princess to return to Beijing immediately without any mistakes.
After driving away the eunuch, Princess Ninth, who was always calm, walked around the room angrily.
"Wuyang, you have to think of a way!"
Qing Mulan lay on the soft bench and said, "It's up to you to take charge of the overall situation."
The Ninth Princess is a royal daughter, and her status can crush all monsters and monsters.
If someone is causing trouble during disaster relief, she can kill him first and then report him later.
But the cold wave was about to come, and Chen Ji issued an imperial edict to transfer her away.
"Father has issued an imperial edict, what else can I do?"
The Ninth Princess said irritably: "Can I still resist and disobey the decree?"
"Your Majesty, that's true. Why would you issue such a decree at this time?"
Qing Mulan sighed: "Don't your Majesty know that Sichuan and Sichuan have been affected by the disaster?"
"Why else? I must have listened to some people's slanders again!"
The Ninth Princess rubbed her brows helplessly.
She was really angry with Chen Ji this time.
"Sir, you have gone to Jiangnan. If you come back to Beijing, can you survive with my brother alone?"
Qing Mulan said worriedly: "Sir, the area affected by the disaster is very large."
"You have to hold on even if you can't hold on!"
When the Ninth Princess said this, she was suddenly stunned: "Brother Xinyao, do you think these two things are coincidences?"
"What two things?" Qing Mulan was confused.
But Qing Xinyao understood and asked: "You mean the two things that happened, the husband left and you received the imperial edict?"
"Yes," the Ninth Princess said, "Sir, when you leave on the front foot, your father's imperial edict will arrive on the back foot. It's a coincidence no matter how you look at it."
When Qing Xinyao heard this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
Qing Mulan finally came to her senses: "If it's not a coincidence, it would be terrible..."
If someone was plotting behind the scenes, they would first lure away Jin Feng and then transfer the Ninth Princess. The next one to take action would definitely be Qing Xinyao.
"Wuyang, brother, you have to think of a way!"
Qing Mulan was so anxious that she almost stood up.
"If there is really someone behind the scenes, now that the imperial edict has been issued, it will be too late to think of anything else!"
The ninth princess shook her head.
"Yes, apart from resisting and disobeying the decree, the only thing Wuyang can do now is to return to Beijing as soon as possible to find out what happened."
Qing Xinyao followed.
When the Ninth Princess heard this, she sat down on the stool helplessly.
What Qing Xinyao said is indeed the only solution.
The decree has been issued and they can only obey it.
If you want to argue, you have to go back to Beijing.
If there is really a plan, since she and Jin Feng have been transferred away, the Ninth Princess believes that there will definitely be a holy edict waiting for Qing Xinyao.
Dakang's communications were so backward that it would take a month or two at the earliest for her to return to the capital, find out what happened, resolve the matter, and send the imperial edict back to Xichuan.
I don’t know how many people will freeze to death and starve to death by then.
"Qin'er, go and see where the angel who delivered the message has gone?"
The Ninth Princess called Qin'er in and gave instructions.
Qin'er didn't even go out to look, so she replied: "They are all waiting outside the yard."
"Heh, it seems it won't work if I don't come back?"
When the Ninth Princess heard this, she couldn't help laughing.
But his face was so cold that water dripped from his face.
The eunuch was waiting at the door, obviously telling the ninth princess to come with us quickly, you can't escape.
"Brother Xinyao, it is clearly stated in the imperial edict. After receiving the imperial edict, we will go on the road as soon as possible. The angel is waiting at the door again. I will definitely not be able to do it if I don't go back."
The Ninth Princess said: "I'll set off in a moment. Here you... just act according to the circumstances."
She originally wanted to tell Qing Xinyao to hold on, but thinking that there might be a second imperial edict, she couldn't say anything.
She didn't dare to resist the decree, how could Qing Xinyao dare?
We can only tell Qingxinyao to act according to the situation.
"I know what to do."
Qing Xinyao stood up and said: "I understand Wuyang that you must be in a hurry now, but the mountain road is difficult to travel and is now covered with heavy snow. You must not take risks and rush. Your own safety is the top priority. We still have to rely on you to mediate in the capital.
.”
"Wuyang understands."
The Ninth Princess nodded, turned around and ordered: "Qin'er, prepare your horses and set off back to Beijing immediately!"
"Yes!" Qin'er quickly flew out.
The two eunuchs guarding the gate saw someone coming out and looked inside at the same time.
The Ninth Princess was very agitated at this time, and the two eunuchs almost hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Zhu'er, go investigate and find out when these two people came to Xichuan City. If they didn't just arrive today, I would have broken their legs and thrown them into the street!"
