Chapter 366: Distributing Food and Treating Illnesses
"Doctor He, what should we call this beastly man?" Shui Zhubu and his men immediately walked towards the two people in charge.
They won. The lower-class people and slaves drove out the nobles and southerners. It was so exciting. The depression and frustration that had been suppressed for many years were finally released, making everyone excited and happy.
Naturally, the greatest credit belongs to the beastly husbands and guards of the Jiang family, while the Fourth Princess is their savior, a god-like existence.
At this moment, Shui Zhubu was extremely sober and sensible. He could not miss this hard-won opportunity. When he heard that the two beastly husbands of the Jiang family were fighting for the wife, he immediately called Lu Xingyan a beastly husband.
As expected, Lu Xingyan puffed out his chest proudly and said, "I am the Fourth Princess's Beast Husband Lu. You can just call me Beast Husband Lu."
As for his official position, that wasn't important. He was the princess's husband now, and he would be the empress's husband and Jiang Changle's husband in the future. There was nothing wrong with that! And he was proud of it!
"Yes, thank you, Beastmaster Lu, for saving us from the disaster. What are you going to do with us? Just let us know what you want to do. We will obey you."
Having already gone against the county lord, Shui Zhubu simply stopped going to work at the county government office. He also wanted to win over useful colleagues from the county lord's side to help the fourth princess succeed.
Naturally, they must be people with integrity and bottom lines, not corrupt elements.
Shui Zhubu was anxious and uneasy as if he was facing a great enemy. If he led the people to oppose the county lord, the county lord would definitely not care about the lives of the citizens and might even suppress them. How would they support these citizens then?
Lu Xingyan was very calm. "Since we are here to save the people from disaster, and the people in the city are in need of food, drink and medical treatment, how should I address you, Uncle?"
"I am Shui Yunsheng, the chief clerk of a county. I have worked in the government office for decades. My family has been chief clerks for generations. However, I am powerless and have never been able to do anything practical for the people of the city. I am truly ashamed."
As Shui Zhubu was speaking, he actually started to cry. He really felt sorry for the citizens of the city. He was unable to defend the city of Nanhai County, and he had let down the dynasty's trust.
"Sir, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, we, the lower-class citizens, would have died out long ago."
"That's right. The real bully is the county lady, a southerner. You are a good person and have always been working for the citizens of the city."
As soon as Shui Zhubu's words came out, the people around him immediately disagreed.
Lu Xingyan guessed the same, so he comforted her, "That's right, Lord Shui, don't blame yourself. You have done what you should do, which is already very rare.
Let professionals handle the rest. Please prepare a list of the citizens who have surrendered.
We can record the number of people in a family and their specialties by household. After recording them, we can arrange for the sick to go to He Shoufu for medical treatment, and then come to me to register and receive food.
We must first survive, and then produce and create.
Next, Lord Shui, you have to find me a piece of land so we can build a workshop. Then we will all have stable jobs and income.
The bigger the place, the better~" Lu Xingyan is experienced in setting up workshops and does it with ease.
Seeing this, Shui Zhubu finally felt relieved and immediately organized people to cooperate with Lu Xingyan's work.
In addition to the house next door, Lu Xingyan also bought a shop with a backyard from the Zhu and Yuan families at a low price.
His future workplace would naturally be in the shop, while those who sought medical treatment would go to the backyard, which He Jing had already arranged early on.
With food to harvest, illnesses to treat, jobs and income, the residents of a county town felt as if they had fallen into a happy nest, their eyes filled with tears of excitement.
"The princess has come to rescue us."
"The dynasty has not given up on us. We are the people of the East."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Fourth Princess~"
After receiving the food, the citizens came out of the shop and knelt down devoutly towards the house next door. They knew that the true God who saved them was there.
For a time, the whole county was in an uproar. More and more citizens who received the news came like a tide, and soon flooded the shop.
"Is the Jiang family crazy?" Boss Zhu couldn't understand why some businessmen would be so nice to the citizens for no reason?
"Don't worry, as long as we don't sell the supplies in our hands to them, the Jiang family's plan can't be implemented." Boss Yuan said in a sinister way.
"But look, those untouchables received food. Could it be that the Jiang family transported it here sometime? Why didn't anyone notice so many supplies being transported to the entire county?!"
A county lady roared in frustration. In front of people she knew, she completely stopped pretending.
