Pick up a husband and join hands in the future life

After everyone had completely recovered, Lin Qingxiu looked up at Qi Yuanyi and told him about Xiao Ba looking for him, "Xiao Ba said you were in a hurry to find me, I thought you had something to do."

Qi Yuanyi felt so depressed, "No wonder you came running here. I'm fine, but there are other situations. I told you not to worry."

Lin Qingxiu blinked and looked at him, "Okay, I'll feel at ease if you stay with me." Her clear eyes were full of pure trust.

"Something may have happened in Dayang. Ning Ze is being called to the palace by the emperor. Judging from the situation, it should not be a trivial matter." Qi Yuanyi slowly explained the situation while paying attention to the other party's expression.

It was obvious that Lin Qingxiu's mouth was frozen, and he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Kissing his forehead lovingly to draw his attention back, Qi Yuanyi then coaxed him gently: "There is no result yet, but it doesn't mean it will affect your family, so don't worry."

Lin Qingxiu pursed his lips and nodded. He was indeed a little anxious, but everything was unknown, and it was not a good thing to worry too much.

After the conversation ended, Ning Ze's voice came over. He was on his way into the palace. On the way to Zhuwu Gate, he saw more than one minister's carriage.

Zhuwu Gate was the main gate through which court officials entered the imperial palace. They could only enter here during normal court sessions or when the emperor issued urgent decrees.

It seemed that things happened in a hurry, and the emperor could only ask someone to invite the ministers who were supposed to be on leave to discuss the matter. Ning Ze felt a little annoyed sitting in the carriage, wondering if Qiu Ge'er was also waiting for him.

When the carriage arrived, everyone got off, showed their ID cards, and hurried to the imperial study, where the emperor was waiting for everyone.

Ning Ze, the youngest and most agile prince consort, walked in the front, thinking of Ming Leqiu in his heart, and his pace became faster and faster, completely ignoring the group of elderly people behind him.

But they didn't dare to ask others to slow down, so they could only run after him as fast as possible, fearing that they would not be able to catch up and be left behind, which would be disastrous if they were spotted by the emperor.

A group of people marched towards the imperial study. The guards and palace maids on the road watched them leave with serious expressions on their faces. With so many ministers around, it seemed like the situation was about to change.

In fact, the situation has indeed changed. Jiangcheng was hit by floods, houses collapsed, livestock were drowned, and the people were displaced. They are now waiting for the court to send someone to take charge of the situation.

Ning Ze just sat down next to Ming Leqiu when he heard the bad news. He felt that his premonition had come true and he was right not to hang up Qi Yuanyi's call.

Qi Yuanyi and Lin Qingxiu's faces changed when they heard this. Natural disasters have always been difficult to overcome by human power, let alone in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient.

"Ning Ze, you must make a decision immediately. The distance is so long that if we don't send someone there quickly, no one will be able to bear the consequences."

Qi Yuanyi's words pointed out Ning Ze's concerns. Floods are difficult to resist, and the subsequent refugees and plagues are not easy to solve.

Looking at the court officials arguing endlessly in the imperial study, his head was about to explode. The emperor on the throne could not control his anger and cursed them loudly before they calmed down.

"First, we need to consider the issue of food. Who is the current prefect of Jiangcheng? Is there any food left in the government warehouse for disaster relief? And who is the most reliable person to send?"

The emperor looked at his younger brother's consort politely and was quite impressed. He was worthy of being the one he favored. He was very sharp and got to the point.

"The prefect of Jiangcheng, as I recall, was surnamed Zhou. He was one of the second-class Jinshi scholars appointed by my father. Why did he submit such a major event only just now?"

The guard who delivered the letter bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, as soon as the flood in Jiangcheng occurred, the prefect Zhou sent me alone on horseback to the capital to report the news."

After listening to the guard's report and seeing that he looked exhausted, he politely ordered someone to offer him a seat, so that he wouldn't collapse from exhaustion before he could finish his questions.

"In that case, we need the ministers to discuss disaster relief. Jiangcheng just collected taxes this year. I wonder if it will be enough?"

The Minister of Revenue thought for a moment and replied, "Based on Jiangcheng's tax revenue in previous years, both the flood and the subsequent reconstruction will require grain, so it will definitely not be enough."

"The most urgent task is to gather food and send troops to escort them to Jiangcheng."

……

The ministers put forward their opinions one after another, and after much discussion, everyone's faces were filled with worry.

Dayang's finances were not good. Although there was still some money in the treasury, a lot of money had been spent on border guards over the years, and future military expenses also needed to be reserved.

Therefore, there is not much money available for disaster relief this time. In addition, with the occurrence of natural disasters, food prices will definitely soar. The court has too many things to consider.

The discussion lasted until the evening. They had a meal and continued the discussion. Qi Yuanyi and Lin Qingxiu also waited here for a long time.

They just had some snacks for dinner, as they didn't feel like cooking for the time being.

In addition, they planted a lot of food in the space and waited to harvest it later. After all, what Dayang needed most now was food.

The two planes established a temporary connection, and the flow of time was consistent, so Qi Yuanyi and the others were able to see all the matters arranged by the court.

By the time it was completely over, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Qi Yuanyi and Lin Qingxiu were sitting on the sofa drowsy.

After Ning Ze and Ming Leqiu returned to the room, they saw the two men dozing off. They felt a little embarrassed to wake them up. It was only when Lin Qingxiu staggered that they realized the other party was looking at them.

Rubbing his eyes, Lin Qingxiu carefully pushed Qi Yuanyi beside him, "Ayi, they are fine, wake up quickly."

Qi Yuanyi was awakened by him, yawned, rubbed his face, and finally sobered up a little. "Are you guys done? Have you decided who to send?"

He stuck to Lin Qingxiu like a boneless person, not moving. He must have been very tired from staring at the screen all afternoon. If they didn't want to know the latest situation, they might have interrupted long ago.

Even so, they missed the information due to sleepiness.

Ming Leqiu grabbed Ning Ze's hand and said with a wry smile, "The ones in charge are the Minister of Works and Xiuxiu's Third Uncle, Lord Lin Lian, but in reality, Aze and I will also be accompanying them."

"In other words, they are actually secretly following your orders?" Qi Yuanyi pondered the intention of Emperor Dayang. Could it be because they have a system?

As soon as the question was asked, Ning Ze nodded silently. Although it was not the whole reason, it accounted for the majority.

"Brother, I'll have to trouble you to help prepare some food. The imperial court's disaster relief food won't be enough for a while. Do you think we can trade when it's convenient?"

"How long will it take you to reach Jiangcheng?" Qi Yuanyi needs to calculate based on the speed of time flow to determine whether there is enough food in the space.

Ning Ze thought for a moment and said quickly, "The journey will take at least three days!"

Qi Yuanyi felt relieved. "As much as you want is enough, but what I can take out right now is not all. If we want to reach the number you asked for, you should have been on your way by then."
