Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

It’s obviously not a big deal, but it feels good to be cared about like this.

Meng Qi was touched, and the two of them looked at Song Zhi with more sincerity.

They knew that Song Zhi was not giving them rewards just to please them, but was really considering their perspective and doing this.

This kind of treatment is nothing like when he was in Tianqi before. He was a brave warrior and did not deserve to be treated so sincerely.

The two men knelt down to express their gratitude. They were both martial artists and were not good at expressing many delicate emotions, even someone as talkative as Xie Ting could not do that.

So they said nothing, everything was implied.

After rewarding everyone, Song Zhi allowed himself to have a good rest for two days.

Although I said I was resting, my mind was actually still constantly deducing the direction of various things.

At present, the food shortage in Tianqi is about to become apparent, and the situation this time is different from the previous minor incident in the capital.

First, this is really going to bring about famine.

Second, the scope of impact is too large.

She is not a saint, nor does she have a heart of a saint, but she cannot stand by and watch those innocent people.

Tianqi has a total of fifty-nine cities. Once famine prevails, it will be a hell on earth with millions of corpses.

But she couldn't selflessly rescue the people, after all, the food she had was not enough to feed so many people.

After much thought, Song Zhi came up with a great idea.

She immediately issued an order to plant buckwheat, cabbage and radishes on all the idle land in the city.

These crops have short growth cycles and high survival rates, making them perfect for weathering crises.

When the people of Huangguo grow the fruits, they will all be sold to the people of Tianqi.

Xie Ting was amazed at this plan and clapped his hands, saying, "It has to be you. I can't think of a way to piss off my opponent like this."

They are clearly in the enemy camp, but the feeling of having to rush over to give them money might even make Mu Yuanzhi depressed.

Song Zhi waved his hand in disapproval, "Hey~ That's not right. This is clearly a best of both worlds solution. Think about it, if we grow food and vegetables, if Tianqi is short of food, can we prevent many people from dying?"

Xie Ting nodded, "Yes."

Song Zhi continued, "If the people of Tianqi buy things from the people of our Phoenix Country, can it increase the opportunities for the people of our Phoenix Country to get rich?"

Xie Ting fell into deep thought after hearing this. It seemed to be true.

"But can selling some grain and vegetables make you rich?"

Song Zhi shook his head and sighed, "Young, indeed, still too young."

"What do you mean?"

Song Zhi acted as if he was teaching someone profoundly. "Are you stupid? How can we charge normal prices for things like this? Besides, we're selling to an enemy country! Do you even know what an enemy country is? Even if I pretend to be ignorant, those people will be labeled traitors when they do business with the enemy. Tell me, how can we get a cheap price for a business that's at the risk of being killed?"

Xie Ting suddenly understood and looked at Song Zhi with admiration.

"I see, I've learned a lesson."

Today he seemed to have learned a very shameless way of doing business, which was called "people's hearts are no longer as they used to be" and "raising prices arbitrarily".

However, he is willing to learn from this kind of people who have changed their minds.

It's another day of growth.

Xie Ting ran out happily and decided to write a letter back to ask his relatives to plant more buckwheat or radishes and cabbages.

Watching Xie Ting walk away, Song Zhi felt very relieved. This young boy is teachable.

After this order was passed down, the reputation Song Zhi had previously accumulated immediately played a big role.

Because of their trust in the Empress, everyone immediately started planting those crops.

While everything was in full swing, the people of Liucheng were still cautiously hiding during the day and going out at night.

Song Zhi was completely convinced. It would be fine if it lasted for one or two days, or even five or six days.

She has been here for more than half a month. Don’t the people see that she is easy to talk to?

She even wanted the people from the other twelve cities to sell their cabbages and radishes to people from Liucheng at high prices in the future.

What a bunch of tactless people! She is so gentle and lovely, what are they afraid of?

Thinking about it, she asked Xie Ting to get ready and took him out in the evening to see what was going on.

Xie Ting was drinking with Meng Qi when he received the news.

He first raised his eyebrows proudly, "See, I told you that my position in the boss's heart is higher than yours. She asked me to go with her but not you."

Then he covered his mouth and pretended to realize something after he finished speaking, "Oh, did I say something wrong? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Deputy General Meng, please don't be angry. I believe the boss must be very fond of you."

Meng Qi twitched his lips and really wanted to take off his shoes and slap them on his nasty face.

Fortunately, Song Chenfeng passed by and saw his intention, and quickly held his hand, "Don't, it's easy to hurt others."

Meng Qi: “…”

Xie Ting laughed out loud, "Didn't you understand? They just dislike your smelly feet."

Meng Qi couldn't bear it any longer and took off Song Chenfeng's shoes and threw them at him.

Song Chenfeng watched helplessly as his shoes fell off his feet and flew out in an arc in the air.

At this moment, he kept asking himself, why did he have to say so much?

……

After the sun set, it quickly became dark.

Song Zhi was waiting at the City Lord's Mansion for Xie Ting to come and go out with her.

Soon, Xie Ting appeared at the door.

Looking up, I saw two pieces of paper stuffed in Xie Ting's nose.

"What are you doing?"

Xie Ting looked away awkwardly. "Well, I accidentally bumped into the wall while walking. My nose bleeds a little. It's nothing serious."

Song Zhi suddenly felt a little regretful. It should be in time for Meng Qi to accompany her now.

But before she could say anything, Xie Ting said directly, "Let's go, Boss. I've done all the research and I know exactly where the busiest and most crowded places are at night. Also, if you don't want to reveal your identity, I've prepared a mask for you."

Xie Ting took out a silver mask from behind and shook it.

Seeing that he was so well prepared, Song Zhi sighed and said, "Okay, let's go out."

"Okay, you're welcome, Boss."

Xie Ting immediately moved aside happily.

The two of them quickly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion. Song Zhi was wearing a light purple servant's uniform today.

Ever since she became the empress, she had unknowingly developed an aura of dominance. Even if one didn't get close to her, just looking at her from afar would give people the impression that she was of extraordinary status.

In order to soften this aura and avoid being seen as unusual, she deliberately chose this purple maid's dress.

There are many wealthy families in Liucheng, and there are indeed some maids with outstanding temperament. Although they cannot compare with the aura of Song Zhi, they can still fool ordinary people at night.
