They were truly worried that The Emperor of Li's estate would go bankrupt.
Mo Zhu smiled faintly, "Everyone, don't worry. Fortunately, His Highness made arrangements early and ordered people to buy food before the price of food in Tiansheng Country rose.
These ten thousand dan of food cost about a million taels of silver.
But as long as it's for the sake of the people, His Highness is willing to do it! Now that His Highness has bought food, everyone won't starve for the time being.
But the flood this time is too serious. Relying on His Highness's ability alone is very limited! If everyone wants to eat their fill, they have to rely on themselves to survive! "
"That's right, this young master is right! How many people can His Highness save by himself?
There are so many people in this world. We have to earn our own living to save ourselves! "
"That's right, His Highness is really a good person!"
"His Highness is our savior, like a living Bodhisattva.
I swear that I will never speak ill of His Highness again. No matter how others slander him, I will believe him! "
The people spontaneously praised Chu Xuanchen.
Chu Xuanchen was a bit embarrassed.
Taking advantage of the time when the steamed buns were brought over, he quickly lifted the gauze and picked up a few large steamed buns. He handed them to the disaster victims in front of him, saying, "You are all citizens of Chu. This is what Wang should do. No need to thank me!"
When the commoners saw the steamed buns in the steamers that had cracked open, they were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes. They also swallowed their saliva.
The buckets of porridge and steamed buns emitted a strong fragrance, making everyone drool.
Chu Xuanchen looked gently at Yun Ruoyue, "Yue 'er, I'll have to trouble you to help with the porridge. Wang needs to go to the palace first."
"Alright, go quickly.
Don't worry here. With Mo Zhu and the others' help, we can handle it. "
Yun Ruoyue nodded.
"Alright, don't worry and wait for me to come back."
Chu Xuanchen patted her shoulder, then led the crowd away with Magistrate Zhang.
After they left, Yun Ruoyue saw the disaster victims jostling in front of her. She quickly said, "Everyone, don't push. Everyone has a share. Please line up. I'll give you the porridge immediately."
As Yun Ruoyue spoke, she led Fung and the others forward to give everyone the porridge.
She personally walked to the wooden buckets of porridge and scooped the porridge into bowls, then handed them to the people in front of her.
Then, she distributed the steamed buns in the steamer.
Not long after, the commoners in front of them all had fragrant porridge to drink. Each of them even had a fist-sized white bun in their hands.
When they drank the porridge porridge, they felt sad and moved Yun Ruoyue's food.
"This porridge, this porridge is Yue's Yun Yue.....
....................
"I've never eaten such a fragrant steamed bun before.
This steamed bun is white, big, fragrant, and sweet. It doesn't have any rancid smell at all. It's ten thousand times better than the stinky steamed bun given by Madam Wei! "
"Madam Wei gave us porridge mixed with sand. How can it be better than this fragrant porridge?"
As the people spoke, they gulped down all the porridge in their bowls.
After drinking, they even ate the rice grains at the bottom of their bowls.
Yun Ruoyue's eyes welled up with tears as she watched the disaster victims wolf down the food.
The disaster victims in front of her were so hungry that their faces were yellow and thin. Their bodies were hunched, and their faces were weather-beaten. They looked really pitiful.
Especially the children. They were all short and small because of long-term lack of nutrition.
Their little faces were dark and their hair was messy. They looked really pitiful.
