"Your Highness, how is it?" When Xiao Changyan returned to the county government office, his staff hurriedly came up to him.
Xiao Changyan turned around and sat in the upper seat, taking the teacup handed to him by the servant. His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright, and he was calm and solemn: "The Crown Princess acted just like she was competing with His Majesty in the temporary palace, without any concealment."
Shen Xihe was blatantly trying to take over the responsibility of disaster relief from him, but Xiao Changyan didn't understand her purpose. The roads leading to Wendeng County were basically cut off, and even Shen Xihe and his team had to go through a lot of twists and turns, taking a lot of detours through the mountains, and they had to walk a lot of the way.
It is simply a fantasy to transport large amounts of food, medicinal materials, cloth and other items. The supplies in the entire Wendeng County cannot sustain the people for five days. Even if the rain stops tomorrow, it will be too late to clear the way in the next four days.
Not to mention that Xiao Changyan felt that the rain would not stop in the short term, how could Shen Xihe not see this? He had to take over this hot potato at this time, which gave him a great opportunity to stop the loss in time.
You know, since he came here, not a single civilian has died of illness or starvation. Now Shen Xihe has taken over the mess. If there is a shortage of supply in the future, all the blame will be borne by Shen Xihe alone! And he will always be the one who has made the contribution!
"This..." After listening to Xiao Changyan's detailed account of what just happened, the staff was also dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why Shen Xihe did this, "Unless... the Crown Princess can conjure up the supplies of the entire Wendeng County."
"Change?" Xiao Changyan looked as if he had heard some fairy tale, his face full of disdain.
He has been here for several months, and not only Wendeng County, but the entire Dengzhou is basically under his control. Unless the Crown Princess has extraordinary powers, she will never be able to resolve the crisis that is about to happen.
The staff also didn't believe that Shen Xihe could transform, otherwise wouldn't it be a monster
"What is the attitude of His Royal Highness Prince Xin?" the aide asked.
"Fifth brother seemed to stay out of the matter and never said a word." Xiao Changyan thought for a moment and said, "He did not stop the Crown Princess, and even the Crown Prince helped her."
This made Xiao Changyan even more confused. Xiao Huayong would not comment on this for the time being, but Xiao Changqing must have understood the consequences of taking on the disaster relief job, but he did not say a word.
Could it be that Shen Xihe really had this method to reach the sky? Had he already told Xiao Huayong and Xiao Changqing about it, which led to the current situation
Thinking of this, Xiao Changyan could no longer sit still, so he put down his tea bowl, stood up and ordered, "Go get the map."
He needs to take a good look to see if he really has made any omissions.
If Shen Xihe really brought food and grass, he would be guilty of a great crime. The wealthy families who were exploited by him for disaster relief would definitely write a joint letter to denounce him, and the public grain he had requisitioned would have to be compensated in the name of the court in the future to quell the people's grievances.
He has posed a huge problem to Your Majesty!
Xiao Changyan carefully studied the routes throughout Wendeng County and even the surrounding areas, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that there was no road that could transport large quantities of goods.
"Go and walk out the storage quantities of grain and medicinal materials in the county, and let them know that the Crown Princess is dissatisfied with my use of rich households to help the common people, and that she wants me to stop interfering in disaster relief." Xiao Changyan ordered.
