Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 347

Prefect Yuan quickly arranged for someone to make the connection.

Xue Jiu was responsible for contacting Prefect Yuan's people, while Prefect Yuan took Wei Jue to move into the residence arranged for him first.

After Ye Xi brought Jin Ling into the designated courtyard, they immediately went to bed to rest.

She is so tired.

Wei Jue arranged several guards to protect Ye Xi's safety, and then discussed disaster relief matters with Prefect Yuan.

The imperial court could not provide much disaster relief money because of the war, and most of it was donated by merchants under his command. It could temporarily alleviate the food shortage problem in Huzhou City and other small cities nearby.

Wei Jue served as the vanguard on this trip and brought some food first. The remaining food will arrive in batches.

After the grain arrives, it will be handed over to Prefect Yuan for distribution, but Wei Jue will supervise his use of the grain.

Although it was the first time that Governor Yuan met Wei Jue, he had heard a little about the style of this powerful official.

He dared not do anything small under his nose.

Now that this powerful official is in the limelight, he must make achievements to consolidate his position.

If he is not tactful and does something that harms the other party's interests, he will probably have to pay with his head to help this adult get to the top.

Prefect Yuan carried out all of Wei Jue's arrangements without raising any doubts or being negligent.

Ye Xi followed Wei Jue for nearly half a month. In fact, it didn't take that long, but because the road was difficult to walk on and they carried so much food, the journey was naturally slowed down.

Ye Xi's bones were almost shaken apart by the carriage, so she rested for a long time and basically did not go out since she checked in.

She was also afraid of the looks in the eyes of the hungry people who were looking at them, as if they wanted to eat them.

Ye Xi had recovered after resting for a few days, but she didn't dare to go out for the time being.

Although the current situation should not be as terrible as before, what if?

However, she did not want to be too frightened, so she asked a guard beside her to find Xue Jiu and ask him to come to see her when he was not busy.

Xue Jiu was probably busy, so he came two hours later. After greeting, he asked, "Miss Ye, you were looking for me?"

Ye Xi nodded: "What's the situation outside now?"

Xue Jiu answered truthfully: "My Lord, let the prefect here give porridge to the people first, and it has alleviated the situation a little.

The second batch of food will arrive tomorrow, and we will distribute it to the people then."

Xue Jiu's answer was brief, but in fact it was not that easy to do.

They are currently providing relief to the people in Huzhou city and nearby small towns.

"Then can I go for a walk outside?" means whether it is safe outside.

Xue Jiu burst out laughing. It turned out that this was what the girl was worried about.

He nodded, "Of course you can, but you'd better bring guards with you. It's best to talk to the adults first."

Xue Jiu thought about it and added the last sentence, if the master does not agree or the girl suffers any harm, the master will probably skin him alive.

Ye Xi understood his concerns and nodded: "Then please ask Guard Xue to tell the master that I want to go out for a walk."

Xue Jiu agreed and then left.

Since arriving in Huzhou City, Ye Xi and Wei Jue have not seen each other many times.

Wei Jue came over two days ago to see if she was still feeling unwell. After seeing that she was fine, he never came again.

The main reason was that Wei Jue was too busy. He had just contacted Prefect Yuan, and before things were properly arranged, many refugees came to cause trouble.

These refugees got the news from somewhere, and learned that the imperial court had delivered disaster relief grain, so they surrounded the place and demanded a share of the grain.
