Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

This winter there was heavy snow, and apart from the capital, the entire northern Zhili and northern Shanxi Province were severely affected.

After Chen Qingzhu first suggested that there would be heavy snow this winter, Emperor Yong'an still did not provide relief to the disaster area despite Yuan Songbo's strong advice.

There was no other reason. The Ministry of Revenue said that the national treasury was in a tight situation and that they had to reserve enough military funds for each place, so they had no money to allocate for disaster relief.

Therefore, Emperor Yong'an finally issued only one imperial decree, ordering the affected areas to be prepared to deal with the victims, and to actively provide relief to the victims if a snowstorm occurred.

Chen Qingzhu found this extremely ironic.

Although the national treasury had no money, Emperor Yong'an's treasury had a lot of treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

It would be a piece of cake to sell some of them and raise hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for disaster relief. There was no need to ask local officials to provide relief for the snow disaster without any evidence.

Of course, there are granaries in the area.

If these local officials had been more attentive and actually opened their granaries to release grain and organized the people to fight the cold together, so many people would not have starved to death or frozen to death.

Unfortunately, most of these people, from the governor to the prefect and county magistrate, are of the Pi Xiu type.

The imperial court allocated disaster relief funds, but these people still wanted to take advantage of them, let alone empty talk.

That would be equivalent to asking them to distribute the meat in their pots to ordinary people. How could these people seriously carry out this order?

Now that Chen Qingzhu had money in hand and prestige in the court, and his cultivation had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, with the help of the formation, he could also create a storage talisman by spending more time and spiritual energy.

She felt that she was very confident that she could help the people affected by this natural disaster.

After thinking it over in her mind, she called Huiyun:

"Huiyun, find someone to tell Yuan Songbo that I will go to his house tonight to discuss something important."

Yuan Songbo is honest and incorruptible, has outstanding abilities, and cares about the world.

Naturally, she couldn't let go of such a wise minister before he left the capital.

"Yes."

Then, Chen Qingzhu called Rong Niang again, asked her to close her eyes and meditate, and transferred some merit light spots to her sea of ​​consciousness.

This is one of the protection measures for Rong Niang and others.

She had to be on guard against the possibility that Rong Niang and the others would be attacked by the cultivator's soul when she was not around.

She was not sure whether placing the power of merit in the sea of ​​consciousness would have any defensive effect.

But at least, the body contains the power of merit, which allows it to automatically repair itself after being injured.

However, this is only a backup measure.

The most important ones are the wind talisman and the teleportation array.

The monk's soul seemed to be hidden in the storage mustard seed, unable to move independently and could only be carried by ordinary people.

With the wind talisman and the teleportation array, they can escape from the attack range of the monk's soul as quickly as possible.

The world of cultivation is vast and boundless, and teleportation arrays can easily teleport tens of thousands of miles.

Now her cultivation has just entered the late stage of Qi Refining, and the conditions are very simple. She cannot find the materials to set up a large teleportation array.

He could only draw the array pattern and use the five elements to arrange a small one-way teleportation array with a transmission distance of two to three hundred miles.

After some thought, she placed the other end of the teleportation array on the edge of Bohai Sea.

Bohai is exactly three hundred miles away from the capital.

If something unexpected happens in the capital, Rong Niang and the others can go directly to the seaside through the teleportation array and then take a boat back to Nandu.

The sea is vast and boundless, making it easier to escape from pursuers.

It took her a whole day to go back and forth to the Bohai Sea, to set up the teleportation array and make sure it could be used normally before returning to Du'e Temple.

After dinner, she went directly to Yuan Songbo’s mansion in the capital.

Calling it a mansion is a bit of an exaggeration, as it is just a small courtyard with two entrances, and it is rented.

The old couple lived in a house not as luxurious as when they first brought Mo Niang with them. Including the doorman and the groom, they only had five servants.

Compared to those powerful people who have hundreds of servants, it is really shabby.

Chen Qingzhu, dressed in green, strolled in the night and descended lightly from the roof without disturbing anyone.

The light was on in the study.

Chen Qingzhu knocked on the window three times gently, and Yuan Songbo immediately stood up and opened the window. He saw her standing in the room with her hands behind her back in a flash.

Chen Qingzhu moved his fingers slightly and set up a miniature soundproof formation in the house.

"Greetings to the Grand Master!"

Yuan Songbo's hair was gray, but he was very agile because he had taken the magic dew given by Chen Qingzhu.

He was about to kneel down and pay homage with a solemn look, but Chen Qingzhu raised his hand and helped him up.

"We are all old people from Nandu, so you can just call me the abbot. There is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Both Yuan Songbo and Chen Qingzhu had a lot of things to do, so she got straight to the point:

"After one year in Beijing, does Minister Yuan still remember what Cihang Temple said?"

Yuan Songbo's heart moved:

"I dare not forget it!"

Chen Qingzhu smiled and said:

"I'm here today because I want you to estimate the approximate cost and quantity of disaster relief supplies based on the population of the affected areas within three days, and write a simple charter."

"Three days later, I would like to discuss this matter with your majesty at the Great Court."

"Are you planning to ask the imperial court to provide relief for the snow disaster?" Yuan Songbo asked with some surprise.

He never gave up worrying about the common people.

There was heavy snow in the north this winter. Except for the capital, which received the grace of the temple master and distributed cold-proof quilts and a lot of silver and money, other places could only save themselves.

Local officials only know how to shirk responsibility and whitewash the situation.

The people themselves, faced with natural disasters, can only starve or become homeless.

Whenever he thought about how many people died of hunger and cold in places he couldn't see, he felt uneasy when he slept.

When the abbot was in Nando, he intervened in a flood and saved hundreds of thousands of people.

Now from the sound of it, it seems that they are going to intervene in the snow disaster!

"That's right!"

After receiving a positive answer, Yuan Songbo immediately raised his concerns:

"Now that we are sending troops everywhere, I'm afraid the treasury won't be able to provide money. I've already petitioned before, but Your Majesty didn't agree to let the Ministry of Revenue allocate money for disaster relief."

Chen Qingzhu said calmly:

"Don't worry about the money. Your Majesty has plenty of money in the treasury."

After returning to Nandu, there are still many places to spend money.

Naturally, she would not use this opportunity to accumulate merit if she could do so without spending her own money.

Speaking of this, Yuan Songbo was silent for a while.

"If your majesty wanted to take it, he would have taken it long ago."

He and his wife also attended the grand opening ceremony of the shrine the day before.

Although I already knew that the current emperor was not a wise ruler.

But when he saw His Majesty sending such a generous offering to the master of the temple, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Your Majesty has no money to allocate disaster relief funds to the people affected by the snowstorm.

When it comes to offering sacrifices to the gods, they are so generous again.

Don't ask the common people and ask the ghosts and gods.

This is the master of millions of people in the Great Wei.

"I will try to persuade him. If that doesn't work, didn't the shrine receive a lot of offerings the day before yesterday? They can be exchanged to last for a while. For the follow-up expenses, I will mobilize the dignitaries in the capital to donate."

Chen Qingzhu didn't say anything final.

The main purpose, of course, was to highlight herself by stepping on Emperor Yong'an and make Yuan Songbo admire her even more.

Sure enough, Yuan Songbo was deeply moved when he heard this:

"The presence of the master is a blessing for all the people in the world!"

The temple master used so much money for disaster relief without hesitation. What a broad mind!

Chen Qingzhu smiled slightly and took out a bottle of magic dew from his sleeve pocket.

"Once this matter is approved by the court, I will need you to go with me to provide disaster relief. We will be very busy for a long time to come, so take it with you in case of emergency."

Yuan Songbo originally thought that the abbot only wanted him to draft the regulations, but he did not expect that he was also planning to let him go to the disaster area in person. He was so excited that his old face turned red.

I've been in Beijing for a year and have been sitting on the bench for a year.

He can finally take over something that is truly useful to the country and the people!

Thanks to the master!

Moreover, the master's attitude towards the powerful and wealthy is becoming more and more aggressive.

Having the strong support of the temple master is more effective than anything else.

Once he arrives at the disaster area, he can let go and get to work!
