Crying, the crispy boss tore up the plot again

Bai Chi looked at the gloomy weather, the drizzle mixed with snowflakes, and the biting cold wind.

It rarely snows in Beijing. Weather like today is already the coldest, which means that heavy snow has already fallen further north.

When she heard about the snowstorm again, she immediately called the head palace maid.

"Pass the order down. From today onwards, every meal in Changchun Palace will only have three dishes: one meat, one vegetable, and one soup. This palace does not need to buy new clothes this year. The charcoal fire is reduced by half. The saved money, together with this palace's monthly salary after entering the palace, will all be sent to the disaster area."

The head maid was stunned and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the disaster area is being handled by officials from the previous dynasty. You are the current queen. All the specifications are related to the reputation of the Tianchi Dynasty royal family. How can you reduce it so much all at once?"

Bai Chi ignored him and insisted, "It is precisely because this palace is related to the reputation of the royal family that I must set an example. Just give the order and go to my storehouse to pick out some things without the royal seal and have them pawned outside the palace. Then send all the money to the disaster area."

The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other, but quickly obeyed the order and went about their business.

Bai Chi sat by the window, recalling the original outcome of the snowstorm.

The original owner didn't have much memory about this snowstorm. After all, she was a concubine and was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, so naturally no one would mention it to her specifically.

But the original owner later learned that this year was the coldest winter in nearly a hundred years.

The snow disaster we heard about today was just the beginning. When we heard the news again, it would be two months later. Hundreds of villages were covered by heavy snow, and nearly 100,000 people died in the snow disaster.

Although natural disasters are beyond human control, if there are enough supplies and preparations are made in advance, a large number of casualties can definitely be reduced, even in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient.

He did not ask other concubines in the harem to follow suit, but Bai Chi thought about it, called a young eunuch over, gave him a few instructions, and then sent him off to get busy.

Half an hour later, almost the entire harem knew about it. The Queen Mother set an example by donating her own private money, not buying new clothes or jewelry, taking out her monthly allowance, reducing her food and clothing, and asking people to send money for disaster relief.

The news spread faster and faster, and even before the dog emperor heard about it, the news had already spread outside the palace.

For a time, words like "the queen is kind, cares about the people, and is worthy of being the queen of a country" spread quickly among the people.

But that's all later, and now, Bai Chi has just asked someone to spread the news.

With the queen setting an example, the other concubines in the harem had to show their appreciation. They were all daughters of wealthy and powerful families, and they brought a lot of reward money into the palace.

Everyone in Changchun Palace was busy, and Bai Chi sent his own maids over to keep an eye on things to prevent anyone from embezzling money.

He did not ask the palace maids and eunuchs to reduce their salaries by half, but he could not allow his money to be embezzled.

As soon as the others left, Bai Chi was the only one standing by the window, hugging the small heater tightly in his arms. Just as he was about to close the window, a white and slender hand reached out from the side, just blocking the window that was about to be lowered.

"Your Majesty is indeed kindhearted. If the other officials of the Tianchi Dynasty could be half as straightforward as you, there would probably not be any casualties in this snowstorm."

Bai Chi was not surprised at all when a handsome face appeared before him.

"Eunuch Mo? Why are you here again?"
