The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

When Gu Fanchu and the rescue team finally arrived at the severely damaged town in the south after going through hardships, the scene she saw left her dumbfounded and in disbelief.

Only then did she realize that her previous thoughts were too naive!

The so-called disaster is vividly displayed here, and only the four words "devastated" can describe the tragedy.

Initially, the area suffered a long and severe drought, with the land cracking, rivers drying up, and crops failing.

Immediately afterwards, it was hit by continuous heavy rains, making the already fragile old city even more mottled and dilapidated.

The roads were muddy and difficult to walk on, and the houses were shaky, as if they would collapse at any time.

What is even more worrying is that all the trees and weeds along the way that are still edible have long been uprooted and picked up by the hungry people to fill their stomachs.

Some people who are extremely desperate have even started eating dirt to fill their stomachs.

Everywhere there were displaced and disaster-stricken people. Due to long-term hunger and hardship, they all looked haggard and pale.

The eyes that should have been full of vitality now became dull and lifeless, looking as numb and dull as zombies.

Looking at these shocking scenes, Gu Fanchu felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

At this moment, for the first time in her life, she began to question her own silence.

Shouldn't I just keep silent?

Faced with such a horrific disaster, should I step forward and do my best to help those suffering?

As a reborn person, shouldn't she have made what happened here public earlier so that they wouldn't have to suffer so much?

However, unfortunately, everything is irreversible and there is no room for regret.

At this moment, the only thing we can do is to do our best to deal with the urgent problems at hand.

Fearing that the victims of the disaster would riot due to hunger and despair, they sent a large number of soldiers to escort them.

After going through many hardships and dangers along the way, we finally arrived at this place. Relatively speaking, our safety was finally guaranteed to a certain extent.

Then, the prince, who shouldered a heavy responsibility, stepped forward and passionately encouraged these suffering people.

He used sincere words to tell everyone that the court had never forgotten the pain and difficulties they had endured.

We have been doing our best to find ways to prepare sufficient supplies to help everyone get through this difficult time.

The prince's words were like a spring breeze, warming every wounded heart.

The victims were deeply moved and inspired, and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the prince and the entire court.

There was a glimmer of hope in their eyes and their confidence in their future life was rekindled in their hearts.

As time went by, the prince's prestige reached its peak and his reputation spread far and wide.

At the same time, the resourceful Gu Fanchu also took action.

She carefully selected people and sent them to every corner to teach the general public how to grow a magical edible plant that was dug out from the mountains.

This plant has an amazing growth rate and is very productive.

As long as people plant it carefully and take good care of it, there is no doubt that it will become a powerful assistant in solving urgent problems.

It is enough to ensure that everyone can survive safely until the beautiful moment of sowing again in the spring of next year.

With sufficient food, various supplies and newly planted crops, people have rekindled their hope for their future lives.

However, the prince was born with a weak constitution and could not bear too many heavy responsibilities;

As a woman, Gu Fanchu was unable to participate too much due to the many restrictions of that era.

As a result, most of the responsibilities and pressure fell on Shi Jinyan's shoulders alone.

Day after day of intense work made Shi Jinyan's originally handsome face gradually become haggard, especially the dark blue color under his eyes became increasingly darker.

Gu Fanchu saw all this and felt pain in his heart.

Although her own strength is limited, she still quietly searches for various precious tonic herbs and carefully brews them.

It was just to give Shi Jinyan's extremely tired body some nourishment so that he wouldn't collapse from overwork.

Finally, after everyone's unremitting efforts, the lives of people in the disaster area gradually stabilized.

At the same time, the newly appointed local officials of the court also selected a date and arrived on time.

The new official took over Shi Jinyan's work, giving Shi Jinyan and others, who had been on edge, a chance to breathe.

Afterwards, they began their slow journey back to Beijing.

On the way back, the meticulous Gu Fanchu took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and secretly arranged for the first batch of "gunpowder" to be transported to the border areas.

This transportation mission was of vital importance. To ensure that everything went smoothly, she specifically instructed the experienced Uncle Fang to personally lead a team of reliable people to escort the gunpowder.

Not long after Gu Fanchu finally returned to the capital after many twists and turns, she received two letters from her uncle in succession.

In the first letter, her uncle informed her in detail about the situation of food and supplies, saying that he had already learned about the relevant matters and had already made preparations in advance by sending people to send the valuable items to a nearby town for safekeeping.

In this way, even if the court ultimately fails to deliver relief supplies on time, these resources reserved in advance will certainly play a huge role in alleviating the urgent need.

It took seven or eight days for the second letter to arrive.

When the letter was unfolded, one could see at a glance that my uncle's handwriting had become quite sloppy, and it was obvious that he was extremely excited at the time.

From the words, one can imagine that the governor must have shown him the amazing power of the mysterious object.

If this thing is used on the battlefield, the role it can play is simply immeasurable, and it may really help them successfully defeat the invading foreign enemies.

However, everyone knows very well that using such a powerful and unknown weapon is undoubtedly a decision full of extremely high risks.

Therefore, unless it is an imminent and critical moment when there is no other choice, it will never be used to take risks.

After all, the war situation changes rapidly, and any wrong decision may lead to irreversible consequences.

Gu Fanchu's mind was as clear as a mirror. How could she not know about her uncle's concerns?

So she picked up her pen and wrote a reply letter in a very eloquent manner, expressing her complete agreement with her uncle's views and ideas.
