Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

[Gratitude value +2]

[Host, my gratitude value has increased again. It must be that mother and son.]

【Um. 】

[I knew that the host I chose was not the kind of person who would be cold-hearted and stand by and watch someone die without helping.]

[Tuanzi, I have reason to believe that you are implying something about me. ]

[No, no, host, absolutely not. I am praising you, praising you for being beautiful and kind-hearted, didn't you hear that? ]

[Sorry, I really don’t have any. Okay, I’ll stop joking and get down to business. ]

[Host, before we get down to business, I have a question, I don’t know if I should ask it. ]

[If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Look at how capable you are, and you still don't know whether you should ask or not. If you know you shouldn't ask, why are you asking? ]

[Hey, host, listen to me, you clearly wanted to help that mother and son, so why did you only give them two steamed buns and five taels of silver? ]

Hearing the system ask this, Li Mengyue knew what Tuanzi wanted to say. He just wanted to ask why she didn't give him a little more.

【Tuanzi, let me ask you, if I give too much, can the mother and child survive? Giving too much will not save them, but harm them. Besides, porridge will be distributed soon, and two steamed buns are enough to keep the mother and child alive until the porridge is distributed, so they won't starve to death before then. Giving them five taels of silver is already a lot, after all, five taels of silver is the annual income of many families, and after deducting expenses, they may not be able to save five taels in two years. With these five taels of silver, plus porridge distribution, and the subsequent work-for-relief program, as long as they are not lying down and waiting to die, they can survive.】

After listening to Li Mengyue's explanation, the system suddenly understood the deeper meaning of the host's actions.

【Host……】

Before the system could say what it wanted to say, the alarm sounded.

This time the alarm was louder than any previous one, and it was deafening, which scared Li Mengyue and the system.

[Alarm~Alarm~]

[Drip~Woo~Drip~Woo~]

[Drip~Woo~Drip~Woo~]

[Drip~Woo~Drip~Woo~]

[Host...Host, something big is going to happen. 】

[I know, did you say what it was? ]

[I don’t know yet.]

As one man in power, he dared not take it lightly and just waited foolishly.

Li Mengyue was seen standing motionless not far from the county government office. Passers-by couldn't help but look over, wondering if Li Mengyue had suffered some kind of blow and became stupid.

"Go, go, go. It's obvious that this man has been hit hard and has become stupid."

"Yes, hurry up, a good girl has become a fool, her parents will cry to death."

"Who says she isn't? She looks pretty. Alas, even if she is very pretty, I wouldn't dare to marry her."

"Tsk, you didn't wash your face before going out, don't you realize that you can be someone's father? How dare you say that?"

Suddenly Li Mengyue moved and walked quickly towards the county government office.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, leave quickly, the little girl is crazy, she even dared to break into the county government office."

The crowd who were watching the excitement saw the direction Li Mengyue was going and did not dare to stop for a moment and ran away.

There was no way, Li Mengyue went to the county government office.

The people do not fight against the officials; they are naturally afraid of the government.

Normally, unless it involves a matter of life and death, no one wants to deal with the government.

After all, everyone knows that the government office faces south and one cannot come in without money. They don't want to get into trouble just because they see a joke.

Li Mengyue didn't care about passers-by pointing at her, nor did she pay attention to what others said.

Because at this moment she was shocked by the news given by the alarm.

She really didn't expect that before the refugee issue was resolved, a bigger problem would arise.

She knew that people's living standards were low, not to mention Wuning County, but also the lower-class people in the capital.

It’s just that the powerful and the rich lived a better life, but compared with the common people in later generations, the difference is more than just heaven and earth.

But in this era of low productivity, most people can't even get enough food to eat, let alone have enough clothes to wear.

Many people only have two sets of clothes to change into. It’s fine when the weather is hot, but once the temperature drops, they have no cotton clothes to wear and can just rely on their righteous energy to get through the winter, which they could do in previous years.

But in extremely cold weather, there is no doubt that you will be frozen to death.

That’s right, it’s extremely cold weather. The Zhou Dynasty experienced floods in the south, and the central region just experienced a locust plague not long ago. The entire north is about to usher in a small ice age in the near future.

She was not sure how many refugees there were due to the floods and locust plagues.

But one thing is certain: there will definitely be a lot.

And as long as these disaster victims were resettled, she believed that completing the task of 100 million gratitude points would not be difficult.

Thinking of this, Li Mengyue felt a sense of urgency.

In two months, the Little Ice Age will arrive and the entire north will be plunged into extreme cold weather.

If we want to save more people and keep the refugees and northern residents alive, we must start preparing without stopping from now on.

Whether it's cotton-padded clothes, firewood or food, you have to prepare them in advance. After all, when it snows heavily, the sky and the earth will be covered in white, and it will be impossible to go out.

Staying at home without food and firewood for heating, let alone the elderly and children, even the young and middle-aged people with high blood and vitality cannot bear it!

Some of the county government officials had followed Yang Zhijin to Xinghua Village and had eaten the meals prepared by Li Mengyue herself, so they still had a good impression of Li Mengyue.

In addition, when the locust plague hit, it was Li Mengyue who led the duck army and the villagers to provide timely support, which saved the people from heavy losses and made the yamen runners grateful to Li Mengyue.

You should know that although the yamen runners worked in the county government, they received monthly wages.

But they have wives, children and elderly parents to support, and they cannot support their families with just their monthly salary.

It is well known that Wuning County is poor. The monthly salary of yamen runners is only two hundred coins, which is neither too much nor too little.

It’s just a little difficult to support my family, and I still have to rely on the land at home.

If it weren't for Li Mengyue, the fields of these yamen runners would have yielded no harvest and their lives would have been difficult.

The appearance of Li Mengyue gave everyone hope.

Therefore, when Li Mengyue arrived at the gate of the county government office, she was not only not driven away, but was warmly welcomed into the government office by the government officials.

This scene was of course seen by others, but no one dared to comment on it.

Dare I say that people who have anything to do with the government have been doing nothing for too long.

After entering the county government office, Li Mengyue did not see County Magistrate Yang, but met Yang Run.

When Yang Run saw Li Mengyue, he waved his hand to let the yamen runners leave and continued to stand guard at the door, while he entertained Li Mengyue.

"Miss Li, you are looking for my master."

"Well, I have something urgent to do with him."

"You have to wait a moment. My master is meeting a guest."

"Row."

Then Li Mengyue followed Yang Run to the hall to wait for County Magistrate Yang.

Yang Run had eaten meals cooked by Li Mengyue at the Li family, and Li Mengyue had never looked down on him because he was a servant, so he had a very good impression of Li Mengyue.
