The next day, everything was back to normal.

On the third day, everything was back to normal.

On the fourth day, everything was normal.

…

Everything remains the same.

There was no exchange.

Slowly.

Yan Jiaoran put it behind her mind.

And her attention was soon focused on the disaster.

I have to say.

Qin Yuan's method of mixing rice bran and sand into the refined rice is indeed a good emergency measure.

In just three days, the original relief grain was increased fivefold.

It greatly relieved the pressure on Jingzhou Prefecture.

But it only alleviated the gap in disaster relief food.

The disaster is still ongoing.

Every day, new reports about the disaster would be sent to Yan Jiaoran's bedroom.

The noise was so loud that Yan Jiaoran couldn't concentrate on her cultivation.

Unable to bear the disturbance.

Seven days since the last exchange.

late at night.

Yan Jiaoran had just finished bathing and was wearing only a simple silk shirt.

He leaned back on the soft couch and closed his eyes to rest.

This is the preparation before practicing Taoism, mainly to concentrate the mind and attention.

Sudden.

Murong Yanran's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue, Mr. Ying, has sent the latest disaster report."

"The ministers in the court have discussed this for several hours and have not reached a conclusion. I have specially brought this to your Majesty for your decision."

"Bring it in and read it."

Yan Jiaoran forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart and said coldly.

Still closing his eyes and resting.

Then, the sound of Murong Yanran pushing the door open was heard.

But then.

There was no more sound.

She had no choice but to open her eyes: "Read it, why, is there anything that I can't listen to?"

Murong Yanran on the side spoke in great embarrassment:

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue, Mr. Ying, said that because the news of the food relief in Jingzhou Prefecture has spread, disaster relief victims from other prefectures have been pouring in. Now there are a full 1.3 million!"

"And the number of people is still skyrocketing, with no signs of easing."

"Although the grain and money from the various prefectures in Jiangnan and the two lakes regions will soon be delivered to Jingzhou, which is enough to deal with the current situation, the outlook is not encouraging. If we want the victims to become good citizens again, we have to wait until at least the beginning of next spring, which means that the court will have to provide disaster relief until at least next year."

"Even if rice bran is mixed in, the Ministry of Revenue doesn't have the capacity to feed over a million people for half a year."

"What's worse is..."

"Some of the victims deliberately caused trouble, using rice bran as an excuse to stir up dissatisfaction among the victims against the imperial court."

"They gathered in the mountains and forests, blocking all official roads out of the city."

"Beat, smash, rob, and burn!"

"The methods were extremely cruel, and no passing merchants survived."

"The messengers who carried messages back and forth suffered heavy losses, and the connection between Jingzhou Prefecture and other prefectures was also forced to be severed today."

"The Minister of Revenue, Mr. Ying, said that if this continues, human disaster will surely follow..."

Speaking of this.

Murong Yanran didn't dare to go on.

because.

Right now.

Yan Jiaoran was like a banished immortal carved from jade and made of ice, who was detached from worldly affairs and so cold that it made people shiver.

Her heart could no longer calm down, and she could only use her slender white hands to tightly pinch the soft edge.

Said coldly:

"A bunch of useless people!"

"Good-for-nothing!"

"How stupid!"

"big eater!"

"I just wanted to rest and recuperate for two years, but they all had evil intentions. Even a simple matter like famine relief was handled in a chaotic manner and turned into this mess."

"hehe!"

"I think it's probably because I'm a woman. They're just waiting to see me make a fool of myself. Then they'll have a reason to criticize me and ask me to abdicate to my uncles."

"What a bastard!"

"Asshole!"

Speaking of this.

Perhaps because she had vented her anger, Yan Jiaoran took a deep breath.

She lowered her head and stroked her skirt, then ordered in an unquestionable tone:

"Go ahead and tell them to keep thinking of a solution. If they can't come up with one, then don't bother me with these dirty things anymore!"

"Yes! I hope Your Majesty will calm down. Yanran will tell the officials in the court to come up with a good solution!"

Murong Yanran hurriedly turned around and left.

Only Yan Jiaoran was left kneeling dejectedly on the couch, staring blankly in one direction.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, as if he was sneering, as if he was mocking himself:

"Father, oh father, why did you push your daughter onto the throne?..."

"Father, you said I've already completed my apprenticeship and have enough ability to stand on my own..."

"But... now... what should I do?"

"Father, my father, the state is in such a state of disarray, and the officials are disunited. How on earth did you manage to maintain order and bring peace and prosperity to the Great Zhou?"

"I...was I...wrong..."

Thinking about.

Thinking about.

Yan Jiaoran slowly closed her eyes...

…

Night deepens.

Everything is quiet.

Most of the people in Jingzhou City fell into a deep sleep.

Only the Qin Mansion had a few lights on, which made it extremely eye-catching in the night.

Ever since the disaster relief work came to an end.

Qin Yuan finally no longer has to sit at his workstation and work overtime until the early morning every day.

Although I still have to get up early in the morning to sign in.

But you can get off work at 3 p.m. in the evening.

It was around four o'clock in the evening but less than five o'clock.

In this way.

He also had more time to spend with his wife.

The love between husband and wife will naturally increase.
