Chapter 13: Tens of Thousands of Refugees Are About to Arrive at the Capital



We need to help displaced people rebuild their homes so they can feel a sense of belonging and security. We also need them to participate in infrastructure development. Once they believe this is their home, they won't have any other thoughts.

Secondly, we need to register the personnel, mainly registering their skills and what they can contribute to the homeland. Once they have settled down, we can reward them one by one to consolidate public confidence.

【……】

Qin Yuanhao waved his hand to let An Yi retreat, held his breath and listened carefully.

He wanted to write it down, but he found that his memory seemed to have improved a lot since being treated by his daughter.

After listening to it once, I remembered it all in my mind.

[Hey, why are Emperor Dad and An Yi silent?]

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuanhao quickly raised the memorial in his hand.

[Oh, the Emperor is here reading the memorials.]

How can I let my father, the Emperor, know about this book? With these methods, I can save so many people.

[The jade that the Emperor sent me recently has only restored a small amount of my spiritual power. I don't know when it will be restored. Otherwise, I could have sent a message to the Emperor.]

The little princess cares about all the people and must be a fairy in heaven who protects the people.

He had to find another jade pendant with royal aura to help the little princess recover.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are already waiting outside. Would you like to bring him in?" Zhou Mian pushed open the door and walked in carefully, with his head lowered, not daring to look at Qin Yuanhao.

"Xuan."

"Zhou Mian, feed the little princess some milk, then take her to the couch in the back to rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Mian stepped forward, carefully took Qin Zhenzhen, walked around the screen, and went to the inner hall.

[Did Emperor Dad find a way to help those refugees? ]

No, I got instructions from the fairy.

Qin Zhenzhen drank the milk Zhou Mian handed her in big gulps and listened to the sounds outside with her ears perked up.

"My dear ministers, I have received a secret report that the refugees outside the capital are just the beginning, and countless more will follow."

"I wonder what you, my dear ministers, think?"

Qin Yuanhao glanced at the Prime Minister.

He had not attended court for several days in a row. He was well aware of the rumors in the court, most of which were spread by the Prime Minister's party.

Then let them jump around for a while so that he can catch them all at once.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuanhao, who was sitting upright on the dragon throne, coughed violently a few times, blocking the prime minister's eyes that wanted to find out the truth.

When Prime Minister Li saw His Majesty coughing, he felt a little relieved.

Your Majesty must be running out of time, otherwise why would you be so anxious to deal with those refugees?

He retracted his gaze, folded his hands calmly, and said, "Your Majesty, sending the Third Prince to investigate the refugees was already reckless. Now you're saying there are tens of thousands more refugees following these refugees. Your Majesty has been deceived by those with ulterior motives."

When the Prime Minister said this,

[Oh my, this old fox, he clearly has ulterior motives, wanting to ruin the Emperor's reputation, and now he's trying to accuse my mother and brother of being the ones doing it.]

If nothing is done, tens of thousands of refugees will flock here, which will be the greatest harm to the people of the capital.

[When the army suppresses the people, the emperor will be branded as someone who oppresses the people.]

The people no longer believed in their emperor, and the Qin State lost the support of the people.

【Then the country will truly be destroyed.】

Standing at the very end was Yang Jia Erlang, and Yang Ziping looked around with his peripheral vision.

Just now, he heard the baby girl's milk voice coming into his ears, and heard her calling His Majesty the Emperor "Dad", and he already had some guesses in his mind.

This should be the little princess born by my younger sister.

He saw the expression on His Majesty's face and it seemed that he was the only one who could hear it.

It would be bad if His Majesty heard it and thought the little princess was an evil spirit, so he must keep his mouth shut.

He has loved reading those bizarre picture books since he was a child and he doesn't feel scared.

Even a little relieved.

The Yang family is loyal to the country, but they are regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the aristocratic families. Even His Majesty does not dare to favor them too much.

Now that he could hear the little princess's thoughts, perhaps God was helping their Yang family.

Thinking of the tens of thousands of refugees that His Majesty had just mentioned, he had some guesses in his mind.

Yang Jia Erlang stepped forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Accurate." Qin Yuanhao raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Yang Jia Erlang would stand up.

"Today, while I was out having breakfast, I heard people discussing the eastern suburbs of the capital. That's where Wu County is located. The goods are good and cheap, and peddlers love to go there."

The Prime Minister interrupted him with a wave of his hand and scolded him in a low voice: "Master Yang, why are you talking such nonsense? You are totally irrelevant to the question."

When Qin Yuanhao heard Dongjiao, his eyes lit up.

The Yang family has been engaged in military affairs for generations, and they are all rough people, so they do go out to eat.

What he said is true.

"Prime Minister, please be patient." Qin Yuanhao raised his eyes and looked at the Prime Minister. "I want to hear it."

Prime Minister Li also looked at the emperor. For the first time, he saw indifference in the emperor's eyes, and he looked so calm as if he was looking at a dead person.

The former prince has now become a true emperor.

Once this thought came to his mind, Prime Minister Li's face changed, and he immediately covered his trembling hands and stopped talking.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Ziping then continued, "Although fewer people have left the city recently, there are still peddlers who risk their lives to go to the lower counties to collect goods. However, for five consecutive days, no peddlers have returned to the capital."

As soon as these words were spoken, all kinds of voices emerged.

"You can't even return to the capital? How could this happen?"

"Maybe it's because of the snow that we were delayed."

"Master Yang, you're making a big deal out of nothing!"
