She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Several southern states experienced flooding of varying degrees, with three states experiencing severe damage.

Fertile fields were submerged by floods, crops were completely destroyed, and countless people's homes were destroyed.

During the morning court session, the emperor paced back and forth in the Golden Throne Hall.

Because of the war in the past two years, all the money was spent on the battlefield, and as a result, the repair of the river was neglected.

As a result, they couldn't withstand the flood.

“My dear ministers, three states are now suffering from floods at the same time. The people have nowhere to hide and can only move to higher ground, but they now have no rice or houses, and it is still raining.

"Fine fields are flooded, and the autumn harvest is just around the corner, but a flood has swept away all the crops. This is the worst flood we have experienced in the past fifty years. Now the national treasury is empty, and the disaster is urgent. Do you have any good ideas?"

The most important thing is that there is no silver in the treasury. The emperor wants to provide disaster relief, but even the best cook cannot cook without rice.

There was silence in the hall. The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Everyone knows that there is no silver in the treasury.

The emperor glanced at the courtiers. Each of them looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

"What? No one has a good idea?"

"Your Majesty, there is no silver in the national treasury, but other prefectures still have grain reserves. We should transfer the grain to help the victims first. As for the silver and money, we can discuss it later." Prime Minister Zhao, as the head of all officials, was the first to stand up.

After he spoke, several officials spoke up.

Decide which areas to transfer grain from, who to send as imperial envoy, and arrange for imperial doctors to treat victims infected by the floods.

They are all old-fashioned words.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate 20,000 taels to aid the disaster area." After Prince Jing and others expressed their opinions, the first one to stand up and say he would donate.

With him taking the lead, the prince also stepped forward and donated 20,000 yuan.

Seeing this, some other nobles were forced to step forward and pledge donations.

The last time we raised money for the war, we had a "delicious" meal of noodles because no one took the initiative. This time we have to be more proactive.

The emperor was comforted by the initiative of his courtiers, but the little money they donated could not solve the problem at all.

It's just a drop in the bucket.

That morning court session was spent discussing the allocation of grain and donations, and nothing else happened.

After the court was dismissed, the Crown Prince, Prince Jing and several important ministers were called to the imperial study for further discussions.

The prince happened not to attend court today, but the emperor sent someone to call him back.

When Yu Yuanzheng returned to the palace after class, she received a letter from Hua Xiangling.

Open it and take a look immediately.

Yu Yuanzheng was so frightened that her hands were shaking.

"...

The severity of this flood is beyond words. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I would have found it hard to believe that such a disaster could happen in the world.

Since the end of last month, there have been continuous heavy rains accompanied by strong winds, causing the river water to surge and the dam to be unable to bear the heavy load, and finally broke in the middle of the night.

The flood swept in like a beast, submerging most of the county in an instant.

The fertile fields were destroyed, the houses collapsed, and the people cried and fled, but there was nowhere to hide.

My husband led the county officials and tried his best to organize the evacuation, but the water was too fast and many people were unable to evacuate in time. They were swept away by the flood and their lives were in danger.

Today, Jiangqing County has become a vast ocean. Although they can temporarily find shelter on high ground, the victims have no clothes or food and are suffering from hunger and cold.

What is even more worrying is that after the flood, epidemics began to spread.

Every day, people died of hunger and disease, and the cries of grief were endless.

Although my husband and I tried our best, we were unable to provide rescue due to lack of supplies.

Seeing the people suffer, my heart aches, but I am powerless to do anything.

Yuan Zheng, the severity of this flood is something Jiangqing County has not seen in a hundred years.

The people were displaced, their homes were destroyed, there was no hope of harvesting in the autumn, and they had no idea how to make a living next year.

I know that there is no silver in the treasury.

I also know that you have many ideas, so I wrote this letter to ask you to lend a hand and think of a way to save the people of Jiangqing County from this dire situation.

......"

Yu Yuanzheng hurriedly finished reading the letter and was extremely worried. Xiangling was pregnant. If she worried and overworked herself in the face of such a disaster, how could the child be safe?

For a moment, Yu Yuanzheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

At this time, Shangguan Ziqi came in from outside and felt nervous when he saw his wife's expression.

"what happened?"

Yu Yuanzheng looked at him blankly and handed him the letter.

Shangguan Ziqi was also shocked after seeing it.

"How could it be so serious?" Shangguan Ziqi was also incredulous.

He didn't attend the morning court, so he didn't know it was so serious.

"Husband, I'm worried that something might happen to Sister-in-law Xiangling. I want to help her." Yu Yuanzheng made the decision without much thought.

Xiangling had been asking her for help, so she had no choice but to help.

It can be seen that the disaster has become so serious and tragic, otherwise she would not ask for help from herself.

"How do you want to help?"

"Send someone to bring her back."

"Just that?" Shangguan Ziqi raised his eyebrows.

I guess Princess Huining will arrange someone to pick them up, so there is no need for them at all.

"The national treasury has no silver, but I have silver. I will lend all the money to the emperor to solve the current urgent problem. Anyway, we can't use the money now. For us, it is just a number. When the national treasury has money in the future, just return it to us." Yu Yuanzheng was very generous at this time.

"Madam, let's donate 200,000 taels and lend 800,000 taels to the national treasury. This will be enough for the emperor to provide disaster relief." Shangguan Ziqi expressed his opinion and showed appreciation at the same time.

The lady's generosity shows her righteousness, and in the face of national crisis, she prioritizes saving the country. It also shows that she has completely abandoned her past life, treating Wei as her own place of birth, and is a loyal woman with her country in her heart.

He is so lucky to have such an outstanding woman as his wife.

"Okay, do you think the emperor will say we are profiteers?" Yu Yuanzheng felt a little embarrassed.

I guess they are the only couple in the whole country who can come up with so much money.

She made money from the people by running a pharmacy. Although her medicine was reasonably priced, others didn't know about it.

There is also the large sum obtained from Southern Shu.

If someone puts such a big hat on her, she will lose more than she gains.

She still wants to continue making money.

She still has a lot of things to do, and the first hospital hasn't even opened yet.

"No, considering your contributions to the Wei Dynasty, no one dares to criticize you."

"Let's go into the palace now. Father hasn't come back yet. I guess they are still discussing it."

The couple changed their clothes, and Yu Yuanzheng wore men's clothes and entered the palace as the Marquis of Zhenguo.

As they expected, discussions were still going on in the imperial study.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"No need for formalities." As soon as he saw the couple coming, the emperor put away his previous sad expression.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty worried about disaster relief?" Yu Yuanzheng asked directly.

Women are not supposed to interfere in politics, but now that she is dressed in men's clothes, no one dares to say anything wrong about her.

"Yeah, that's right. Because of the war, all the money was spent on the front lines, leaving us with no money to repair the riverbanks in recent years. Plus, this year's floods were the worst in decades, which is why they're so devastating. The storms also destroyed many houses and crops."

The emperor knew that the couple must have come for this matter.

I guess they have a good idea, so they explain it more clearly.

It was mainly said to Yu Yuanzheng.

He knew Yu Yuanzheng's abilities.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any other skills, but I know some medical skills.

Over the years, I have made some pills and sold them, earning some money. So in the face of this disaster, as a member of the Great Wei, I am willing to share some of the worries for Your Majesty.

Give the money I earn to the Ministry of Revenue first to solve the current urgent problem.

I have discussed this with the Crown Prince and have decided to give the Ministry of Revenue one million taels, of which two hundred thousand will be considered as a donation to the people and eight hundred thousand will be considered as a loan. They will be returned to me when the Wei Dynasty recovers.

After all, that money was earned bit by bit by me, and it was used to prepare betrothal gifts and dowries for the children." Yu Yuanzheng smiled and explained her purpose.

After hearing this, the emperor was unable to recover for a long time and thought he had heard it wrong.

The other ministers were also stunned. They did not expect the Marquis of Zhenguo to be so righteous.

"Haha..., well, well, you really are worthy of being the Marquis of Zhenguo, who was conferred by me personally. You are not only the lucky star of Rong Wangfu, but also the lucky star of my Great Wei. Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately arrange for someone to contact the Marquis of Zhenguo and sign a loan agreement." The emperor laughed happily and praised Yu Yuanzheng highly.

"I obey your order." The Minister of Revenue responded in an especially loud voice.

I didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhenguo is so rich. In the future, should you consider raising your granddaughter well and see if she can marry into the royal palace?

"Your Majesty, I have another suggestion." Yu Yuanzheng said after thinking for a while.

"Oh?"
