After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

In August, all officials were given a seven-day summer vacation. Jiang Xuening stayed in Yunshenju to escape the heat, occasionally going boating on the lake and drinking some iced fruit wine. She lived a happy life like a god.

After more than ten days of scorching sun, it finally rained.

When the rain stopped, she changed into some fresh clothes and said, "Let's go to the night market after the rain."

Shen Zhaoyan waved his fan and said, "Let's go."

The two of them strolled along the street. There were many stalls selling snacks to cool off, so they randomly picked one and sat down.

I ordered a bowl of iced rice dumplings, and some traveling merchants were chatting at the next table.

"This summer is hotter than in previous years. It's really hard to bear."

"Xiangchu is relatively good. I just came back from the north. The situation there is not good. The water has dried up and the crops have died. If it doesn't rain, I'm afraid there will be a sign of a severe drought."

"Not really. If there is a severe drought, people will suffer."

"Some of the wealthy families I know have already started fleeing Yunyang with their entire families."

Jiang Xue Ning fell silent after listening to this, and she had no appetite for the dumplings.

"We can't stop natural disasters, so don't make it hard on yourself."

She ate two spoonfuls of iced glutinous rice balls, feeling completely chilled, and then she said softly, "I hope nothing bad will happen to me."

The two walked around for a long time, stopping and starting, and found that many people were talking about the hot weather and the bad conditions outside.

The next day, in the meeting room of the palace, Jiang Li handed her the news brought back by the spy he had sent out earlier with a heavy face.

"In the Yunyang area, nine out of ten rivers have dried up, and crops have basically failed. Drinking water has become a problem. There are signs of a severe drought, and the situation is unstable."

This news was too heavy, so she ordered, "Carry out each item as previously discussed."

Integrate the grain from granaries in various places, keep enough necessary grain, and concentrate the rest. When the time comes, open the granaries at the city gates to provide disaster relief.

We will also count the land that needs to be reclaimed and the villages that are short of people. When the time comes, we will accept the refugees who are willing to settle down here, give them land and help them settle down.

Each of these tasks is not an easy one. They must prepare in advance so that they will not panic when the time comes.

"At that time, we can not only save lives, but also increase the labor force and population that Xiangchu lacks the most. If the drainage is done properly, it can also be regarded as a meritorious deed." Jiang Li said softly.

After that, all the officials in Hunan and Chu were plunged into a state of chaos. As a decision-maker, Jiang Xue Ning had to read countless memorials and approve and solve countless problems every day. Sometimes, when she was busy, she would not be seen for two or three days.

Shen Zhaoyan was completely ignored, feeling lonely and doing nothing every day.

"Your eyes are full of resentment, which gives me goose bumps..." Bai Zhu couldn't bear to watch and said, "It's not good to be a resentful husband in the boudoir."

He has been busy during this period, preparing pills and medicine packs for cooling off and stockpiling medicinal materials.

After a disaster, there will be a great epidemic, so they have to prepare in advance. When the refugees come, they will still have to go out to see patients. So now almost all the medical clinics and pharmacies in Xiangchu have united under the call of the palace and are busy with this matter.

As people from the royal palace, he and Female Doctor Zhou were in charge of things and were very busy.

He took a sip of tea and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. The pharmacy is waiting for me to order some herbs. I'm leaving now."

Shen Zhaoyan rolled his eyes, as if he was the only one with nothing to do and seemed particularly idle.

Jiang Xue Ning came back in the evening, and I finally had some time to catch my breath while eating.

He served her a bowl of fish soup, "Were you so busy that you forgot something?"

She leaned back in the chair and glanced at him with half-closed eyes. "Tangli has gone to Beijing. The unfinished nursery she has left in her hands will be handed over to you."

"Are you going to enslave me now?" He pinched her hand and hinted, "Then give me a little sweetness first."

"Haha, let's see how you perform."

Since then, he has passed the days of suffering. At night, he is happiest with the warmth and tenderness of his wife in his arms. During the day, he is a brick, and there is no need for Jiang Xue Ning to move him anywhere.

He received top-notch education since he was young, from the prince of Zhennan to the king of Yunzhou, and his ability was very strong. It was just because of his physical and mental state that he was more Buddhist.

He was as tired as a dog and complained quietly, "When you are done, you have to compensate me."

Jiang Xue Ning mercilessly threw a pile of memorials at her, "Approve them all before dark."

"Murdered my husband!"

Gu Xingchen added, "Send him to the village in a few days. The palace doesn't want to keep idle people."

After a month, the handsome man who once had a fair complexion actually became tanned.

He sat in front of the mirror and fell into sorrow, "Has my face become uglier?"

Jiang Xue Ning held his face and looked at it for a while. "Although it's a little darker, it will be back if you take care of it."

"You haven't been weak lately. You enjoy your meals and sleep soundly. So you have to get busy. You will feel better if you keep busy."

He was not comforted at all, but was deeply worried about the days ahead.

"I always feel that you like official duties more, and I am just a pastime for you in your spare time."

"You have a clear self-position..." She kissed him, "I still love you. If you can work harder, I will love you even more."

He was coaxed into doing this, given candies occasionally, and unlocked some new ways to play. He shared a lot of tasks and was forced to be diligent.

By the end of August, everything was almost ready, but no one was happy and their mood became increasingly heavy.

Jiang Li reported the latest situation, "Although the water levels of lakes and rivers in Xiangchu have dropped, it seems that the impact is not significant at present. The crops are also growing well, and we should have a good harvest."

"The situation in the north, especially in Yunyang, is not good. A severe drought has already arrived. It depends on how long the people's stored food can last."

When they can't hold on any longer, they will start to flee, and that is also the cruelest time.

She frowned and asked, "Is there no action or movement from the court?"

"The local government suppressed several riots and distributed porridge for a few days. I heard that the grain reserves in the county and state capital have been exhausted."

She sneered and said, "Xiao Linanfeng is such a loser, he has made all the calculations and is sitting in that position, but he does nothing."

"He came to the position in an illegitimate way. Coupled with the situation of three forces standing side by side, he may not be able to control the entire court and Xiling." Shen Zhaoyan said weakly while lying on the table.

Those noble families are not easy to control, and they may not necessarily obey Xiao Linfeng's orders.

And Xiao Linfeng didn't seem to be interested in this. Apart from controlling the military power, he didn't seem to care much about other things.

The people in Yunyang area have begun to starve and eat leaves, while Shengjing is still living a life of singing and dancing and drunkenness.

The memorial regarding the drought in Yunyang had just arrived before the emperor.

Xiao Linfeng convened a meeting of ministers that night to discuss disaster relief.

The Ministry of Revenue cried out that there was no silver, no grain and the treasury was empty.

In short, officials from various departments argued for half the night, but there was no progress or effective measures.
