The woman was wearing thin coarse clothes, her hair was unkempt, and her appearance was disgusting.
However, the child she was holding was dressed warmly and had a clean face.
Indeed, no matter what dynasty it was, maternal love was always great.
After the woman and the child scooped a bowl of bamboo leaf juice, they retreated to the side of the wall and sat down, drinking the bamboo leaf juice.
When the other commoners saw this, they lined up to get the medicine.
Ying Ziheng walked towards the mother and son. When the woman saw this, she reached out to protect her child.
Her dirty face had a pair of bright and clean eyes.
Judging from her appearance and aura, she was not a beggar in the past.
Ying Ziheng gave her some copper coins and asked,
"Where is your husband? Why did you bring a child to beg?"
The woman put away the copper coins and looked at the child she was protecting. The corners of her eyes were a little red as she said,
"The child's father died on the battlefield. We have no land and can only beg for a living.”
Ying Ziheng had already guessed this answer.
Among the seven countries, only Han had the least territory and army, and it was also close to Qin.
As such, when Great Qin attacked the other countries, it had first attacked Korea.
That war had caused countless parents to lose their sons, countless women to lose their husbands, and countless children to lose their fathers.
Therefore, even now, there were not many men in Nanyang County.
Almost all of them were old men, women, and children.
When Ying Ziheng left, he took out some copper coins and gave them to the mother and son.
"Thank you, Young Master."
The woman bowed to Ying Ziheng's back.
The morning passed, and all the people in Nanyang County drank the bamboo leaf juice.
…………
On the seventh day.
In the past few days, the people of Nanyang County had come to collect medicine on time every day.
The infected commoners were almost completely cured.
At this moment, all the people in the city were gathered at the entrance of Nanyang County's government office to receive the last bowl of bamboo leaf juice.
"I really have to thank Young Master this time. If it wasn't for Young Master, who knows how many commoners would have fallen ill and suffered.”
Seeing that the commoners had recovered, Violet Girl revealed a rare smile.
At this moment, she was more beautiful than ever.
"They are Great Qin's people, and as the Prince of Great Qin, it is my duty to seek blessings for the people, cure illnesses, and eliminate disasters.”
Ying Ziheng was happy to see Nanyang County in such harmony.
A sense of accomplishment spread in his heart.
Hearing this, Violet Girl felt ashamed.
Before Ying Ziheng came to Nanyang County, even though this place was controlled by Great Qin,
But in her mind, the people of Nanyang County were not the people of Great Qin, but the people of Han Fei, the Ninth Young Master.
However, now that Great Qin's Prince Ying Ziheng knew that Nanyang County had a plague, he did not retreat and did not massacre the city to eliminate the plague.
On the contrary, he was constantly thinking of ways to save the people of Nanyang County.
He did everything himself and loved the people so much that she admired him.
The next moment, Violet Maiden bowed to Ying Ziheng and said,"
"As I said before, Young Master saved the people and helped Nanyang County eliminate the plague, so Purple Orchid Heights will be under Young Master's command.”
"Now that Young Master has done it, Violet Maiden is willing to assist Purple Orchid Heights in following Young Master from now on.”
Ying Ziheng smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
He had accomplished his goal in coming to Nanyang County.
Suddenly,
A man carrying a bowl of bamboo leaf juice walked up to Ying Ziheng and greeted him with a smile,
"Thank you, young master, for saving my life."
This person was Zhang Lei, who sold rouge and cosmetic powder.
At this moment, Zhang Lei's face was rosy and his body was strong. Compared to his pale face and weak body before, he was really a different person.
"If it wasn't for Young Master's medicine, I would have died outside the city gates.”
"Young Master has given me a new lease of life. If Young Master doesn't mind, you can call me anytime.”
At the front gate of the prefecture, someone saw Zhang Lei and went up to thank him.
The other commoners also came forward to thank him.
"Thank you for saving my life, Young Master."
"Even the famous doctors in Nanyang County are helpless against this plague. Without Young Master, I'm afraid that Nanyang County will become a plague city and countless people will die.”
"Thanks to Young Master, my family survived.”
"When young master gave me the medicine, I even guessed that young master wanted to massacre the city and poison us. I'm really not human.”
"That time, I also had a part in it. I am willing to accept the punishment and will not complain.”
……
Amidst the chatter, the people of Nanyang County knelt down and kowtowed to Ying Ziheng. This was the highest form of etiquette.
As for those speculations, Ying Ziheng didn't really take them to heart. He didn't have much hostility.
Moreover, he knew that those who won the hearts of the people would win the world.
Only those who were loved by the people could rule the world better and establish a prosperous era.
"You are Great Qin's citizens, and I am Great Qin's Prince. There's no need to thank me.”
"All of you, get up."
Ying Ziheng stood in front of the gates of Nanyang County, sweeping his gaze across the city.
Then, Ying Ziheng continued,
"The former prefect of Nanyang County, Ji Ming, did not cherish the people. He only indulged in wine and sex and enjoyed himself.”
"In addition, Nanyang County had a plague, but he didn't report it to Great Qin and allowed the plague to ravage the people, causing Great Qin to suffer heavy losses.”
"Not only that, he chased the infected people out of Nanyang County and left them to fend for themselves. This is against the laws of Qin.”
"Moreover, Great Qin doesn't need officials who don't work for the people.”
"So, I killed the former prefect, Ji Ming.”
"Today, I appoint Violet Daughter, the owner of the Violet Orchid Heights, as the prefect of Nanyang County.”
When they heard that Violet Girl was going to be the prefect of Nanyang County, the people in the city cheered.
It seemed that the Purple Maiden being the prefect and in charge of Nanyang County was what the people wanted.
Zi Nu, who was standing beside Ying Ziheng, was a little dumbfounded. She had never thought that Ying Ziheng would actually make her the prefect of Nanyang County.
"This, how can a woman be an official? Young Master, this is not appropriate.”
Violet Maiden bowed.
Ying Ziheng chuckled and said,
"There's nothing wrong with it. You're in charge of Nanyang County, so I can rest assured.”
Hearing Ying Ziheng's words, Violet Girl did not refuse and replied,"Yes."
The data didn't move. It hurts, brothers.
