Jun Yuqing did not intend to hide anything from Hua Yuan, so when he heard her question, he said: "It's only about the resettlement of the refugees. In the end, it was all because of my words that I said so many words in the imperial court. After that, I received such a thankless task, and even if I had to give it up, it would not be enough! "

It turned out to be the resettlement of the refugees. This task was indeed quite troublesome!

After all, the Emperor had said that the refugees would be settled by Jun Yuqing, but first of all, the imperial government hadn't brought out the money, and second of all, it hadn't given Jun Yuqing the right to command any troops.

A place for refugees, no matter what, was always there. But if the Emperor did not give them money, where would the money for the building they lived in come from?

The palace didn't have that much silver!

However, if he did not take out all these silver taels, he would not be able to handle the errands! If he took it out, the emperor would think of him as a greedy official! Besides, the authority to lead soldiers was not just a joke!

If some irrational people were to make a ruckus, it was very likely that they would be unable to control the development of the situation!

Therefore, safety was just a thankless task! However, since it was the emperor's personal order, it wasn't good to decline!

Hua Yuan frowned and asked, "This isn't a good job, so what do you plan to do?"

Jun Yuqing smiled and said, "No matter what, I have to think of a way to deal with this kind of thing. As for you, you only need to be happy every day and do whatever you like."

Hua Yuan obediently nodded her head and leaned against his chest. However, her brows didn't relax just because of this.

Two days later, the first batch of refugees came to the capital city one after another! The lips of these people were purple, and on their bodies were thick layers of quilts and cotton-padded jackets. Due to the cold, many of their men had already been decayed beyond recognition.

Jun Yu Qing's underlings went over and asked the refugees, "You guys have blankets at home, so you won't freeze to death while camping on the streets. Why did you choose to travel so far to escape to the capital?"

The man held a bowl of hot porridge in his hand and a meat bun in his right hand. As he ate, he said, "Even if you didn't freeze to death at home, you would have starved to death sooner or later! Due to the heavy snow sealing the mountains, we couldn't even pick up firewood or start a fire. Furthermore, the wind was leaking from all sides of the house. In our village, there are many people living and dying in the house! "

He had gone through so much danger and suffering from the extreme north all the way to the capital just to survive! Originally, in Jun Yu Qing's heart, whether these people lived or died didn't make much difference.

However, seeing how these people were working so hard to survive, Jun Yuqing felt that perhaps he needed to do something about it!

There was no place for the refugees in the city, but Jun Yuqing had chosen a piece of land outside the city. When the time came, he would send out some porridge for them to use. He had to think of a way to get some silver and buy some raw materials so that the refugees could help him obtain them!

After Jun Yu Qing and Hua Yuan discussed for a while, they decided to share their thoughts. Hua Yuan also thought that this was a very good idea. But, "How are you going to get some silver back?"

The Medicine Hall and Duke Ling both knew how to make porridge. What about the wood? That was not a small number! Where would he have to go to get it?

Jun Yu Qing was also frowning as she pondered this question. She had to admit that this was a very troublesome problem.

In the evening, Jun Yuqing returned late. Hua Yuan had prepared a supper and both of them had a meal together. Hua Yuan asked while eating, "You still haven't received the method to gather the silver?"

"Nope."

If these refugees did not have a proper place to stay, then it was only a short period of time. Thus, they did not have any complaints about sleeping in a run-down temple. However, if time went by and the number of refugees continued to increase, things would get out of control and go in an unpredictable direction!

At least he knew how to fight!

In the event of a riot, Jun Yu Qing would be blamed for it!

As Hua Yuan ate, she also felt that she had lost her appetite. Jun Yuqing smiled at her and said, "Alright, don't worry about me. I'll think of a way eventually. You better not be hungry yourself. Eat something! "

Hua Yuan ate these things, but felt that they tasted like wax.

She thought for a moment, then said, "No matter what, these refugees have to be settled. If it's really no good, then I'll just take out my private house's silver and go to the palace to ask for it! "

"What did he just say?" Jun Yuqing looked very excited.

Hua Yuan looked at him with a bright and spirited look. "N-nothing!"

Jun Yuqing said, "You are really my deputy general! The people who have benefited from the settlement of the capital city are not the members of Prince Su's family. With this amount of silver, it is only right that everyone should come out together! "

As he spoke, his appetite seemed to have recovered.

The next day, he excitedly went to arrange for this matter.

Jun Yuqing didn't usually talk much. He could freeze someone to death with just a glance, but this man was indeed efficient! It was not the fault of the emperor that he was still regretting his loss of Jun Yuqing's face. Otherwise, his position as the crown prince would not have been so hard to choose! He threw it directly at the person in front of him.

Hua Yuan suddenly thought of something. If everyone could see the expression on Jun Yuqing's face, who knew what kind of feeling they would have!

In short, Hua Yuan knew that the Crown Prince's mood would definitely not be good.

In just a few days, Jun Yu Qing had managed to get three hundred thousand taels of silver. Now that he had the money, he no longer had the feeling of being tied down. In a short period of time, the capital city was bustling with noise and excitement.

When they entered January, the capital welcomed a heavy snowfall!

The weather was not too cold compared to before. But looking at the snow, it was something that no one dared to ignore. In the outskirts of the capital, there were many cases of houses collapsing. Not to mention some commoners, only thatched cottages could be seen.

This year, it was destined to be an eventful one!

Hua Yuan was still making ointment in his house, while Bai Qin and Jiao Ke were doing their homework. Hua Yuan inadvertently raised his head and looked at the snow outside, sighing with emotion, "Looking at what's happening outside, the snow definitely won't stop for a while. "I wonder how long it will last."

Bai Qin sighed and said, "Ai, I don't know how many people will be unable to make it out this time!"

When they talked about this, everyone's mood dropped.

"Esteemed wangfei, those from the medicine hall are coming over. They say they have something to see you about."

Hua Yuan had made most of the ointment in her hands, but why did someone from the Medicine Hall come to look for her? Hua Yuan was a little confused, and asked, "Did you say what it was about?"

The person outside said, "I never said, but I just heard that it seemed like refugees attacked and hurt people. A lot of people in the capital are injured now." Maybe the medicine hall is packed with people? "

Hua Yuan waved her hand and said, "You may leave."

From the looks of it, the Medicine Hall did indeed have this reason.

She took all the medicine she had prepared in the past few days with her, and then said to Bai Qin and the bottle beside her, "There's nothing to pack up right now, so let's go."

He didn't know what would happen if he went too late.
