Chapter 449 Wait, there is still a chance

The system suddenly popped up and said: [This is a good idea! The person your brother sent to deal with the disaster victims during the dike breach was the doctor from the Water Conservancy Department, and he handled the situation very well. Moreover, the doctor from the Water Conservancy Department is not far from here, so he can arrive in time.]

Yuan Ruan was also happy and said: "That's great, Tong'er, the dike hasn't collapsed yet. Let's have the doctor from the Water Conservancy Department come here in advance. Can we avoid the flood?"

After hearing this, everyone's gloomy mood became a little brighter.

System: [Ah, this... Ah Ruan, the ability to control floods in ancient times was limited. Even if the doctor from the Du Shui Si appeared here at this moment, the dam would still collapse, and the fertile fields would still be flooded. All I can say is that with the Du Shui Si doctor's early intervention, the farmland that was flooded could be reduced by at least half.]

Shao Zhanshi and his entourage were somewhat disappointed after hearing this, but they quickly calmed down because they had witnessed too many natural disasters and man-made tragedies, and it was already very good to be able to experience this.

Yuanruan could not hide her disappointment: [……]

She was somewhat unwilling, but at the moment, she didn't see any particularly good solution.

Soon, several messengers ran in completely opposite directions in the pouring rain.

Yuan Ruan watched the messenger leave in a daze. Rongpin came over and spoke to her several times, but Yuan Ruan's responses were perfunctory.

The Third Prince observed carefully for a while, coughed lightly, squatted in front of Yuan Ruan and said: "Ninth sister, do you want to eat some sugared sesame seeds? You know, the sesame seeds here are not coated with salt, but are wrapped in honey. I was really scared when I ate it for the first time, but ninth sister, you like sweets, do you want to try it, maybe you will like it?"

Qi Yue also nodded and said, "There are also many cakes that taste different from those in Beijing. I bought them all when I got off the boat."

At this time, the system also said: [Ah Ruan, don't think about it. There is a saying that goes, nothing is perfect. Hurry up and eat something sweet. Sweets can make you feel better. ]

Yuan Ruan rubbed his face and said, "I understand the reason, but I feel a little bit depressed. But I have to cheer myself up and not let you worry so much."

Yuanruan forced a smile: "Yeah. Thank you, Seventh Sister, Third Brother, I want to eat some cakes."

The Third Prince immediately responded, "Okay. I'll get it for you."

Qi Yue looked at Yuan Ruan for a while, then suddenly stood up, picked up Yuan Ruan, pressed his head into his arms, and patted Yuan Ruan's back silently with a slow rhythm. Yuan Ruan only felt that his eyelids were twitching.

When the Third Prince came back with the hot candies, he saw Yuan Ruan lying in Qi Yue's arms, and Qi Yue made a "hush" gesture to him.

The third prince breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Yuan Ruan, who had been asleep, suddenly woke up, straightened his back, and exclaimed: "How could I have forgotten! There is still a chance!"

The Third Prince and Qi Yue:?

What?!

The Third Prince couldn't help but ask, "Ninth sister, what are you talking about?"

Yuan Ruan had no intention of explaining to him. She got up, took Qi Yue with her and went to find Rongpin.

There, Shao Zhanshi was discussing disaster relief matters with Rongpin.

Rongpin suggested that there was still a lot of food and gold and silver on her boat, so she might as well not go out for the trip and sail directly to the doctor of the Du Shui Si to donate money and food and contribute her labor.

Shao Zhanshi objected: He thought that other ships could be dispatched for transportation, but Rongpin and others should not go with the luxurious ship. After the disaster, there were many desperate people, and rich people were just a piece of fat meat in their eyes. It was too dangerous.

Rongpin objected again: changing ships midway would take too long. By doing so, she could also add some credit to her brother.

Shao Zhanshi laughed in anger and continued to object: Safety first! How could the government be short of your money?!
