Soon, Doctor Lee came with hot water. Ouyang Qinshao soaked the child in the water after she finished dipping the water. "Doctor Lee, is there anywhere nearby where you can pick herbs?"

"Yes, yes, yes …" Doctor Lee didn't expect Ouyang Qinshao to want to go into the mountains to pick herbs herself. "But it's raining heavily this time, so the rocks are loose. It's not appropriate to go up the mountain …"

Ouyang Qinshao was aware of the situation, so she didn't even consider going up the mountain. It was just an illusion to prevent her from being questioned about the origins of the medicinal herbs. "What is the child's name? It seems like he will definitely be a handsome master in the future."

Ouyang Qinshao didn't know why she suddenly changed the topic, but as she chatted, she soaked the basin in hot water. She didn't know why, but as she talked, the unconscious child suddenly woke up and his body temperature began to drop.

"Niu'er woke up …" "I'm awake …" Aunt Liu was so excited that she was helpless when she saw the child reach out for her arm.

Ouyang Qinshao left some silver pieces and three small packets of medicinal powder for Aunt Liu and told her, "Make some rice soup for the child. If it's boiled again, feed it to the child with two mouthfuls of warm water."

Aunt Liu wanted to reject Ouyang Qinshao's money, but before she could say anything, Doctor Lee thanked her on Aunt Liu's behalf, "Master Ou, this old man has helped Aunt Liu to thank young master for his kindness. If the rich merchants and young masters and mistresses of the county were like Master Ou, the city wouldn't be like this right now."

"It's no big deal," Ouyang Qinshao said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable. I believe that as long as everyone works together, we can definitely survive. I just have a presumptuous request, but I'm not sure if Doctor Lee will agree to it."

Doctor Lee was a bit surprised. Mei County had been in a flood for three years already, and as long as they asked around, they would know that the citizens were not suffering because of the natural disaster. Ouyang Qinshao's temperament made her a scholar, so how could she not be angry at the court or the officials' attitude?

"I wonder what Master Ou would like to invite?" Although he was confused, Doctor Lee didn't bring it up and asked.

Ouyang Qinshao knew very well that it would be useless to say some things, so she decided to take action directly. She said, "Can you let Doctor Lee help me open a clinic in the infirmary? "Of course, I can pay the rent …"

"No, no, no …" Doctor Lee shook his hand and said, "I can't even support Master Ou's actions in time, how can I accept Young Noble's rent? "But this medicine …"

Opening a free clinic was definitely a good thing, but right now, all of the medicinal herbs in Mei Prefecture had been taken away by the government. How could there be a free clinic?

Ouyang Qinshao smiled faintly and said, "With so much rain, the medicinal ingredients must have grown quite well …"

"Master Ou, you …" Thinking that Ouyang Qinshao wanted to go up the mountain to pick herbs, Doctor Lee was anxious. However, before he could finish, Ouyang Qinshao took her leave.

"Collect herbs from the mountain …" Ouyang Qinshao snickered in her heart, "How is that possible?" There was definitely medicine, but … Heehee … The government collects medicinal ingredients... What the heck... "Seeing that I'm not playing with you greedy officials …"

With that, Ouyang Qinshao headed up the mountain.

Right after Ouyang Qinshao left the city, a long line of people appeared in front of the city gate, waiting for Prefect Li De Zhong to come greet them.

Before the Prefect arrived, Chu Liufeng had already removed the wheelchair from the back of the carriage. He then stood next to the horse and whispered, "I …"

"Yes," he answered lazily, and said slowly, "Send down the notice that the government's food and materials for disaster have arrived, that they have been sent to the prefectural city and that they have opened the chest. This king will let everyone in the city see clearly the concern the government has for the citizens."

As he said that, he covered his right eye with a quarter of the mask. He flew from the carriage to the wheelchair and was pushed by Chu Liufeng to lead the physical carriage into the city.

The scattered citizens slowly gathered together. Seeing the hundreds of carts of rice and other supplies, the citizens couldn't help but want to rush up to grab the food. However, they didn't know who it was and suddenly shouted, "It's Prince Zhan …" The Battle-King of our Longteng Country … We're saved, we don't have to starve anymore... "Prince Zhan, thousand years …"

At this time, Li Dezhong also rushed over to welcome him, "This lowly official, Li Dezhong, greets Prince Zhan, thousands of years old and thousands of years old."

Beitang Junhao did not say anything. Li Dezhong did not dare to move while kneeling. His heart was bitter: Didn't they say that there were still three days left before they arrived? How could he be so fast? Didn't he say that he wouldn't be able to get food? Why did they send it over just like that? He had yet to transport away the food and materials that came from the previous imperial court, and now, Prince Zhan, who had not entered the imperial court for five years, was here as well. What was he trying to do?

On the other hand, Beitang Junhao said indifferently, "Everyone, get up. Today, the court sent food and materials for disaster relief, and Sir Li would send food and porridge in front of the yamen during your stay. Each person will receive two taels of white rice per day. This time, I have brought the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry to cure the water disaster in Plum County, so the villagers can be at ease."

"Long live our Emperor … "Prince Zhan, thousand years …" The sound of gratitude spread throughout the entire county, but there were those who were happy and those who were sad.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was impossible for Li Dezhong to take away the food and materials. After settling Beitang Junhao down, he started to arrange for the relief sect's porridge to send the food.

But at this moment, it wasn't just Li Dean who was busy.

"Master, everything is ready. We will act when the time comes." Chu Liufeng reported in a low voice.

Beitang Junhao nodded in agreement before leading Assistant Minister Fu Yan out to inspect the river bank and dam entrance.

"Prince Zhan, this map does not match the current situation." When Fu Yan first saw the map, he had thought that it was impossible for the dike to be missing and the water would not rush out of the dam, but he knew what the problem was when he saw the dam. "The dike has not been implemented according to this map and its width and thickness have not reached the standard.

He didn't need Fu Yan to say that Beitang Junhao already knew what was going on. On the surface, he looked calm, but he already understood. "Give me the truth and come up with a solution as soon as possible. This King must see a Mei Prefecture where there are no more floods."

"This official accepts the order." At first, Fu Yan didn't have much hope for Prince Zhan, who hadn't shown his face in the imperial court for the past five years. Now, it seemed, that spirited hero of the past had returned.

After Li Dezhong found out that Beitang Junhao had already taken the blueprints for the moat, he rushed over in a hurry. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Beitang Junhao's arrest warrant: "Capture Li Dezhong, all the staff who built the river wall will be separately locked up."

At this point in time, if Li Dezhong still did not know what was going on, then he was an idiot. He wanted to beg for mercy, but was dragged down by the soldiers.

At this moment, Li Dezhong understood that this seemingly disabled Prince Zhan still maintained his usual style, swift, decisive, merciless, picking on others when he couldn't get a handle on the disaster relief, in short, there were plenty of ways to discipline him.
