The poisonous concubine is very arrogant, making the crippled king blush and his heart beat fast

"Mengli, come here." Wen Mohan called her gently with a smile on his face.

Jiang Mengli walked towards him and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

"There's dirt on your face." He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it off for her. "Just feeding them every day isn't a solution. The collapsed houses still need to be rebuilt."

"The food won't last long. We still have to think about what to do next. It's useless to rely on these corrupt officials."

The two looked into each other's eyes, and could see their own shadows in each other's pupils.

Jiang Mengli's heart was like a flower bud, slowly blooming, and the feeling was very subtle...

The more she looked at him, the hotter his eyes became. She looked away imperceptibly and said, "Then you figure out a solution. The emperor sent you to deal with the disaster. You can't leave me alone."

Wen Mohan also looked away, "If there is enough food, we can let the people take some home and let them clean up and rebuild their houses."

"We sent some soldiers to the severely affected villages to help clean up and build temporary shelters. After that, the people can go back to their normal work and life and gradually rebuild their houses."

After that, both of them fell silent.

The key is to have enough food to distribute to the people.

But now there is not enough food to go around, not enough to sustain the people for that long.

Jiang Mengli thought for a moment and said, "I've decided to go out and buy food. Anything edible, whether it's rice, wheat, or sweet potatoes. I'll also buy some vegetable seeds. Some have a short growth cycle."

If you use your own space to quickly grow food, you can also grow some.

She decided to do two things at once, growing some in her own space and also going out to buy some.

Wen Mohan frowned, "You paid for it out of your own pocket?"

Jiang Mengli shook her head and whispered mysteriously in his ear, "I used... I'll tell you a secret later."

After she finished speaking, she walked to the side of the Black Dragon, touched the back of his neck, and then jumped on the horse. Then she looked at Wen Mohan and said, "I'm relying on you here, go!"

The black dragon turned around and ran out wildly, showing some tacit cooperation.

Wen Mohan rubbed his brows and said with a headache, "She is very decisive and swift. Even my black dragon has become her exclusive vehicle."

Half an hour after Jiang Mengli left, in a small town inn, Wen Jingyun was leisurely sipping tea.

A subordinate knelt respectfully and reported, "Your Majesty, Jiang Mengli left on horseback for some unknown reason, and now the sick Wen Mohan is in Huangzhou City."

Wen Jingyun is now also under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou, but it is located upstream and has not been affected by the disaster.

Hahaha……

"Isn't this easy?" He laughed excitedly, his eyes filled with ruthless calculation. "Give the order and find a reason to let Wen Mohan go to Niu Shen River..."

As long as this plan goes smoothly, Wen Mohan will definitely die. Everything must be done before Jiang Mengli comes back.

When this woman is around, good things will always be ruined.

……

Jiang Mengli ran for eighty miles before stopping. Judging from the surrounding situation, these places were not affected by the disaster.

She dismounted and walked towards a larger village. The villagers coming in and out, as well as those working, all looked at her with curiosity.

The children ran away laughing, as if they were afraid of strangers approaching.

She took out some cakes and said with a friendly smile, "Come here, I have some cakes. Take two each."

They were all timid and didn't dare to come forward, so she could only put the cakes on a stone and said, "Take it yourselves, don't fight over it."

After she walked away, these dirty children ran over to get the pastries with bright smiles on their faces.

Finally, she met an auntie who came towards her. She then approached her kindly and asked, "Auntie, is there anyone in your village willing to sell food? As long as it can fill my stomach, it will be fine."

Hearing this, the aunt looked him up and down and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Mengli shook his head and explained, "No, I want to buy a lot for the people affected by the disaster in Huangzhou City. Brown rice, wheat, sweet potatoes...anything is fine."

"Oh, so that's how it is." The auntie smiled and became more enthusiastic. "Come with me, let's go into the village and ask around. It's just that the harvest will be very slow this way, and there are many families who don't have anything to sell."

"You are a kind-hearted girl. I have heard about the situation over there. Many people have starved to death. The rich are fine. They have all fled to other places."

The two chatted as they walked and soon became familiar with each other.

When we arrived at the village, many people gathered around us curiously.

Aunt Chen said to the crowd, "This Miss Jiang is here to sell food. Brown rice, brown flour, wheat, cassava, sweet potatoes, anything that can fill your stomach is available for sale."

"It can be mountain products, dried goods, any kind of cured meat. She buys them to send to the people affected by the disaster, and the price is definitely good."

When everyone heard this, they all started talking about it.

Jiang Mengli had no idea what they were talking about, so he said, "If you don't have any, you can go to other villages and collect some for me. I'll give you eight cents per pound of cassava and sweet potatoes. If you collect five cents, you can earn three cents."

"I'll give you double the usual amount of rice and flour. If you trust me, go ahead and sell them. If you don't, that's fine. I'll check elsewhere."

This statement surprised the villagers, and they started discussing whether it was true or not.

They are timid and afraid of being deceived.

What if you spend money to buy it but can’t sell it?

Aunt Chen then said, "I have cassava to sell. Some I grow myself, some I dig up in the mountains, and some my husband hunts. I make all of it into bacon."

With that, she hurried back home. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, she came out pushing a cart full of cassava, with the prey made into bacon hanging on the side.

There are rabbits, pheasants, fish, and even a little wild boar...

Seeing this, Jiang Mengli smiled and said, "There are quite a lot of prey. I'll take them all."

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "Okay, this cassava weighs 60 kilograms. Just give it to the prey."

Jiang Mengli took a look and said, "I'll give you two taels of silver for these prey. The cassava is 480 coins, which is 40 cents and 80 coins. I'll give you 50 cents."

In front of the villagers, she took out two taels and five cents of silver and gave it to Aunt Chen.

Everyone was dumbfounded. The prey was sold for two taels of silver, and the cassava was sold for five cents!

“I have something to sell too…”

"I'll go collect them. I'll go collect them from other villages..."

Soon the villagers became active, and even the village chief was alarmed.

After learning that the grain was being bought at a high price, he couldn't stop smiling.

In order to speed up the process, Jiang Mengli even hired someone strong enough to help with bagging, weighing, counting and recording.

She felt much more relaxed after the distribution. She took some sweet potatoes, carrots, and wheat and put them into the space. "Kongkong, plant these. Work hard for a while. I will buy you a lot of delicious food later."

"Remember to continue planting after the harvest. The demand is huge, and just buying these is not enough. It's so tiring."

As Kong Kong cast a spell to plant crops, he said, "Master, don't worry. I will keep planting and harvesting. This way, they won't eat people. Those people are so pitiful, and the corrupt officials are so despicable."

Her words surprised Jiang Mengli a little. He thought she would complain about being too busy and tired, but he never expected her to sympathize with the people.
