I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 952 Extra: A Young Man's Journey 5

Not long after Zong Huai and Zong Lin left the capital, Wenren Jing and Yan Chengyue caught up with them.

The imperial court could only provide limited funds and supplies for disaster relief, so Zong Huai and Zong Lin needed to go ahead and raise funds for disaster relief in Liangzhou Prefecture.

Wenren Jing was there to deliver grain.

The two groups met on the road and naturally traveled together from there.

Zong Huai was deeply moved to learn that Wenren Jing had come to deliver food.

"The imperial treasury is currently empty, and the funds and grain allocated for disaster relief are limited. Even if all of them are used, it may not last more than a few days."

The reason why Emperor Chengde sent Zong Huai to oversee the disaster relief was twofold: firstly, he wanted to train Zong Huai, and secondly, there was a real lack of funds and provisions. If the funds could not be raised, the disaster relief would likely be ineffective and might even cause panic.

But Wenren Jing shook his head seriously: "I have already asked my business partners about the true situation in Liangzhou. Thirteen of the eighteen counties in Liangzhou have been affected by the disaster. Even if I transport all the inventory of my businesses, it will be a drop in the ocean for disaster relief."

“But that’s not the worst of it,” Wenren Jing said. “The worst thing is that if it’s not handled properly, a major disaster will inevitably be followed by a major epidemic. Once the epidemic breaks out, that will be truly horrific.”

When Wenren Jing learned that Zong Huai had been ordered to provide disaster relief, he quickly packed his bags and brought all the food he could to help. What he really wanted to prevent was the great epidemic that followed the disaster.

The body she transmigrated into originally belonged to a family of renowned physicians, a family of divine doctors who had fled to an island during the previous dynasty to escape turmoil. Countless imperial physicians and divine doctors had been born into this family. Even so, the original owner was born with a deficiency and lost her life in a moment of terror. Fortunately, after she transmigrated, she invisibly improved the original owner's constitution; otherwise, she would probably have died young as well.

She had no talent for medicine. After staying in Medicine God Valley for several years, she still hadn't learned how to take a pulse. Unwilling to waste her life on a small island, she sailed to Dazhao and began to do what she was good at.

It took them five years to finally gain a foothold in the capital.

Fortunately, she met Crown Prince Zong Huai, who was at the center of the highest power, and also made friends with Yan Chengyue, who was intelligent and insightful and got along well with her. It was because of this that she was even more unwilling to waste the opportunity of her time travel and wanted to do something truly useful for this dynasty and for the people of today.

So her delivering food was part of a pretense; what she really wanted to deliver was a prescription for treating post-disaster epidemics.

This was something she brought from Medicine God Valley. Although it might not be 100% effective, it was just in case. She could save as many as she could, otherwise, if a sudden plague were to strike, who knew what kind of human tragedy would ensue.

Zong Huai and Wenren Jing had known each other for several months and had developed a lot of tacit understanding. As soon as Wenren Jing opened his mouth, Zong Huai had already roughly guessed Wenren Jing's true intentions.

Unable to contain his excitement, he lowered his voice and said, "Jing, thank you."

Wenren Jing smiled and said, "I only hope that what I do is useful."

As the two chatted ahead, Zong Lin rode his horse alongside Yan Chengyue and couldn't help but ask her, "Is that the famous businesswoman that's been talked about in the capital?"

Yan Chengyue didn't expect Zong Lin to ask her this question. She nodded and added, "A Jing is also a good friend of my brother and me."

Zong Lin saw that Yan Chengyue's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened. He wanted to say something to her, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to speak.

The closer we get to Liangzhou, the more turbulent the world becomes.

Everywhere were refugees fleeing famine, and there were even bandits. They didn't care about the government's relief grain; for people who were so hungry they wanted to eat people, nothing was more important than a bite to eat.

The very task of transporting this batch of grain to Liangzhou was already fraught with difficulties.

Fortunately, they brought enough troops, and although they encountered many troubles along the way, they still managed to transport the grain to Liangzhou.

But at this time, Liangzhou was almost completely surrounded by tens of thousands of refugees.

That fleeting scene reminded Wenren Jing of the live-action scenes he had seen in movies in his previous life: a zombie apocalypse.
