The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 150 Shen Jiarou ponders over taking precautions

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Feng Jingyun felt a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to arrange with the princess. Please allow me to leave first."

Emperor Yuan Shun was stunned. "What does the princess ask you to do now?"

"Send the guards out of the capital to the farm and collect the grain immediately."

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty was shocked. "Is it so serious?"

Feng Jingyun sighed, "Your Majesty, the princess said to just in case."

It would be better for Emperor Shun of Yuan to be more cautious.

After Feng Jingyun left, the city defense commander went to the palace to report.

"Your Majesty, there are more and more refugees."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, Li Jiang and Liu Xu were all shocked.

Sitting in the chair, Shen Jiarou felt something was wrong the more she thought about it. “Should we do something in Beijing as well?”

Master Fu frowned and said, "I have experienced the matter of refugees before."

Shen Jiarou was startled. "Teacher, please tell me what happened in the past."

Fu Taifu recalled that thirty years ago, "due to various natural disasters, the people's houses collapsed, and they became refugees with no clothes to cover their bodies, and they had to eat their children. Many officials were even killed directly..."

After hearing his story, everyone's face changed and they all looked at Shen Jiarou.

"Princess, what should we do now?" Nanny Wang also thought of that incident. It was truly a tragic event.

"I don't know the details this time, but I think since we have come to Beijing, it must be very serious."

When everyone heard this, their faces turned even paler.

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips tightly and said, "No, we need to send someone back to the capital as soon as possible to ask the government to take measures to reduce some trouble. Also, we need to arrange for someone to report to Prince Rong's Mansion, Bai's Mansion, and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and ask them to take precautions as well."

At this moment, Master Fu also stood up and said, "There is also the Master's Mansion."

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes solemn, staring straight at Xu Zhi in front of him.

Two more people rode away from the village at full speed.

Shen Jiarou thought about the fiefdom and wondered if it had fallen.

"Send the remaining guards out. Send people to each county in the fiefdom. Hand over the regulations to the stewards in the palace and ask them to make corresponding arrangements based on them."

Nanny Wang was the first to disagree, "Princess, no, they are protecting you."

Shen Jiarou shook her head. "Mammy, we don't know how serious this matter is. We can only prepare for the worst. Besides, I also know martial arts. I also have Sister Zirou and Sister Shutong. Don't worry."

Nanny Wang wanted to say something else, but Shen Jiarou interrupted her.

"Mammy, you still have to take charge of the situation at the farm. It's almost lunch time and everyone needs to eat. It will be a big job to wait for the guards to come and the villagers to guard."

Nanny Wang was disappointed when she heard this. "Then I will make the arrangements. You must be extremely careful."

Several wealthy businessmen were furious when they learned that their fields and crops had been stolen.

The refugees were so hungry that they were emaciated and would grab anything edible they saw.

Bao Zhiqing came back first and said, "Princess, some officials' fields and grains have been destroyed."

Shen Jiarou and Master Fu were shocked. "Tell me in detail."

……

"I have seen refugees injuring people."

Shen Jiarou fell into the chair, and Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong were shocked.

"Princess."

Shen Jiarou forced herself to calm down. "If someone is hurt, we might have to prepare doctors and medicines just in case."

Master Fu nodded carefully, "That's right, let's get ready quickly."

Xu Zhi also came back and was accidentally injured. "Princess, there are more and more refugees, and some are dying."

Shen Jiarou stood up suddenly. "What? Who died?"

Xu Zhi clasped his hands and said, "There are refugees, villagers, and servants."

Shen Jiarou was horrified. "It's so serious. How many people have died?"

Xu Zhi thought about it carefully and said, "About five or six people."

Master Fu took a deep breath and said, "This is the case for just one place, what about the others..."

I can't even think about it.

Thinking that it is still summer, "Teacher, the plague spreads faster in summer."

Master Fu was stunned for a moment, then he realized, "You mean..."

Although he didn't say anything else, everyone understood.

Shen Jiarou looked at Master Fu with a serious look in her eyes, "Teacher, why don't you go back home? At least it's safer in the city."

Master Fu understood the princess's thoughts and said, "No, how can I abandon you? If we die, we die together. If there is anything, we can discuss it together."

Baozhi was young and had experienced a lot, so he thought what the Taifu said made sense.

"Princess, the Grand Tutor is right. After all, you are too young and your status is noble. Even if the Grand Tutor leaves, if something happens to you, he will not be able to escape the blame."

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou was shocked.

"Teacher, it is the students who are dragging you down."

Master Fu scolded, "Princess, what are you talking about? You have arranged everything so well. I am very pleased. Don't blame yourself. Be obedient. We still have many things to deal with together."

Shen Jiarou nodded solemnly, "Teacher is right."

"Master chef, please hurry to the palace and ask for a doctor, a younger one, and some medical books. Oh, and ask the people in the mansion to dig up and sort out the herbs, just in case they are useful. Bring half of the other herbs that are already available."

Bao Zhiqing bowed and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

Bao Zhiqing jumped onto his horse and rode away at full speed.

Shen Jiarou looked at Xu Zhi and said, "Second Master, go to each village to find doctors, no matter if they are barefoot doctors or good doctors, bring them all here, and tell them that it is Princess Yongkang's order, and bring the tokens. Oh, and ask the doctors who have medical books to bring them too, and they will be returned after they are registered in the register. If they are damaged, you will have to pay for them."

Xu Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Princess."

A village head who was over fifty years old ran over and said, "Princess, is there anything else I can do for you? Please tell me."

Shen Jiarou frowned at the hot weather and said, "Please go to each village to collect mugwort. We also want freshly dug mugwort."

Zhang Zirou was puzzled, "Princess, what do you want mugwort for?"

Is it to exorcise evil spirits?

"Mugwort is also a medicinal herb, and it can also play a role in prevention and disinfection."

When the village head heard this, he ran away immediately.

"Princess, I will do it right away."

In the past few months, all the nearby villages have known about the existence of Princess Yongkang, and the people below are also friendly to the villagers, so Princess Yongkang has a very good image in everyone's mind.

After arranging things one by one, Shen Jiarou leaned back in her chair in exhaustion.

"Let's think about it together and see if there is anything else that needs to be arranged."

Zheng Shutong frowned at the hot weather and said, "Princess, the guards are all middle-aged men, but the weather is too hot. Will something happen?"

Shen Jiarou and Master Fu looked up at the sky at the same time.

Master Fu said solemnly, "We have to think of a way. It's so hot, even the big guys can't stay warm."

Shen Jiarou frowned and said, "Let's build a tent and prepare sour plum soup and mung bean soup to cool down."

Zhang Zirou frowned when she thought of the water source. "How can we get there? There are eight checkpoints. It will take at least two people to send them there. I'm afraid there aren't that many people."

Shen Jiarou held her head with her hand and asked, "How many horses do we have left?"

A young steward hurriedly said, "Princess, there are ten cows and four mules on the farm. With the ones you have, it should be enough."

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and Zhang Zirou was delighted.

"Princess, it must be Guard Feng and his men who have arrived."

Shen Jiarou relaxed slightly.
