The next day, around five o'clock in the morning

The sky can only be seen whitening through the moonlight, and the earth has not yet awakened from the darkness.

Xiao Jingyang stood at the porridge shed set up at the gate of the city, looking at the victims who were already crowded together in front of him, and he didn't know how to describe this feeling in his heart.

Xiao Jingyang was wearing a rich brocade suit, but the victims underneath were all dressed in blue and shivering under the cold winter.

It seems that these victims have been here for a long time. Their eyes have become a little blurred, their faces are thin, and they are all bent over and look very weak.

Xiao Jingyang and the others originally wanted to get up early in the morning and come here to cook a pot of porridge, but they didn't expect that these victims were already waiting here.

"well!"

Xiao Jingyang sighed softly, and then ordered the soldiers on the side to quickly start lighting fires and boiling water to cook porridge.

When carts of grain appeared at the gate of the city, the eyes of the victims were glowing with gold. If it weren't for the fact that the grain transporters were soldiers holding sharp blades and wearing armor, Xiao Jingyang felt that they might all rush in.

Come up and grab all the food.

Xiao Jingyang looked at the crowd below with a serious face.

Those at the front were all young and middle-aged people, while the children, old people and women were all squeezed in the back.

After being hungry for so long, children, the elderly, and women have no strength at all, let alone fighting with them?

There is a small group of young people who protect their families and prevent them from being stepped on.

Xiao Jingyang came to the top of the city tower and stood at the highest point. The internal force in his body began to work, and his energy sank in his Dantian, and he roared loudly:

"Everyone, line up for me!!"

The sound was like thunder, resounding through the sky, and everyone present was frightened by this roar.

Xiao Jingyang stood there as straight as a sharp sword, with a serious face and the aura of a superior, so that no one dared to speak anymore.

"All the children or those who are seriously ill or weak will be at the front, followed by the elderly, then the women, and all the young adults will be at the back for me."

"Those who do not listen to this will suffer the consequences at their own risk!!"

As soon as Xiao Jingyang finished speaking, the victims in the audience began to change positions.

Some people were full of resentment and yelled, "Why should a woman stand in front of them?"

Or what do those old people and children have to do with them? Such words.

Xiao Jingyang said directly, "My rules are rules," and he rejected everyone's words.

If you don't want to eat it, get out!

Xiao Jingyang didn't bother to argue with him.

Xiao Jingyang flew down from the city tower, and this behavior shocked everyone present.

In addition, Xiao Jingyang's luxurious clothes and majestic demeanor all reflected the preciousness of his identity, and the victims present also confirmed his identity as an imperial envoy for disaster relief.

Xiao Jingyang came to the side of a man dressed as a Jianghu man and said to him:

"Go find the brothers from the medicine hall and help them to see a doctor for these victims."

Xiao Jingyang found that most of these children and old people were almost unsteady on their feet.

Then they all sat on the ground, regardless of whether it was cold or not.

The children kept crying and calling for their mother.

Seeing such a scene, the Jianghu man nodded and quickly ran towards the city.

Xiao Jingyang looked at these victims, thought for a while and shouted:

"Everyone, listen, mothers can go to the children's row to take care of their children, and sons or daughters can go to the sick elderly to take care of them."

"If you force your way up, don't blame me for being ruthless!!"

Hearing this, everyone present was in commotion again.

Women in ragged clothes rushed to the front row, hugging their children and crying non-stop. There were also many young-looking women who came to the group of elderly people and took care of the elderly people who were coughing.

Xiao Jingyang frowned. It seems that this time it is not just as simple as releasing food. The current situation in Yuezhou must be the same in several other states.

Food and medical care must be supplemented, otherwise it will probably be difficult for these people to survive the winter.

"Prince!" A soldier quickly came to Xiao Jingyang and whispered:

"There are still a large number of victims pouring in from the city gate. It seems that there are still many victims rushing towards Yuezhou City."

"So many people?" Xiao Jingyang was surprised after hearing this.

"It seems that victims from several other surrounding states have also begun to rush here." The soldier continued.

"Stain..." Xiao Jingyang guessed the reason. It was probably because he was promoting the fact that he, the imperial envoy, was in Yuezhou, so people from other state capitals also started to run to Yuezhou.

I originally wanted to roast the prefects of the prefectures on the fire, but I didn't expect that now I am roasting myself on the fire.

With so many disaster victims pouring in, resettlement alone will not be enough, let alone whether there is enough food.

"Go find Mr. Li and come see me."

"Yes!" The soldier received the order and quickly ran towards the place where the porridge was cooked.

About three minutes later

"Prince!" Li Huaizhi hurriedly ran to Xiao Jingyang's side, his face still red from the fire he had just made.

Xiao Jingyang briefly explained the current situation to Li Huaizhi.

Li Huaizhi also fell into deep thought after listening. This was something they had not thought of before they thought about the solution.

With so many people, Li Huaizhi couldn't think of a solution for a while.

The atmosphere between the two people also became a bit awkward.

The sky has gradually become brighter, and the smell of white porridge has wafted out of the boiler.

Xiao Jingyang looked up and saw more and more victims lined up in front of him, and an idea slowly appeared in his mind.

"There is absolutely no way we can relocate so many victims in such a short period of time. Now we can only send people to send a message to Mr. Wang, asking the parents of each state to come quickly, and they will lead the victims in each state."

"Send two more groups of messengers out to speed up this process."

"Okay!" Li Huaizhi nodded.

"Did we bring any seeds?" Xiao Jingyang asked.

"Seeds?" Li Huaizhi thought for a while and said:

"It seems that I brought five bags and transported them on the last car. The main grains will not arrive for two days."

"With five bags of seeds and a series of measures such as digging channels and wells, we should be able to survive in two days." Xiao Jingyang was a little unsure after saying this and added another sentence.

"You should be able to hold it, right?"

"What does the Crown Prince mean by being able to hold on?" Li Huaizhi was confused by these words.

"We can say that the meal today is given to the victims for free. To put it simply, it is to fill their stomachs without spending any money." Xiao Jingyang explained:

"But tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will not give them free money, but let them do a certain amount of work in exchange for food."

"Working?"

"Yeah!" The more Xiao Jingyang thought about it, the more he felt that this method should be feasible, and his tone gradually became more confident.

"Let the young and middle-aged victims of the disaster use the work-for-relief method. After replenishing some energy today, they will start working in the afternoon to earn food for themselves and their families tomorrow."

"The types of work can be divided into building shelters, reclaiming wasteland, digging trenches, or digging wells, etc."

"If there are no men in the family, women can also help with laundry, cooking and washing dishes in exchange for food."
