Ji Minxiu avoided her bright eyes, coughed lightly, and took the tent, saying, "I brought you a tent. You can rest anytime, anywhere after setting it up, and it can also protect you from the wind and rain."
Then, he demonstrated it on the spot.
Once everything was set up and she climbed into the tent, Yun Zhourong was completely stunned. "This...this is a small house!"
"Yes, you can use it if you encounter special circumstances that require you to stay in the wild during your exile."
Ji Minxiu continued to explain, "This is a canopy and a folding chair. When you're not inside the tent, you can sit outside to cook and rest."
"Lord Snow Fairy, this tent is a lifesaver. There was nowhere to rest at the post station today, and we were all staying in the stables. With this tent, we can get a good night's sleep tonight."
Yun Zhourong was overjoyed, "And this canopy and chair, it's so convenient!"
If Ji Minxiu hadn't brought it out, she wouldn't have even imagined that such a thing existed. The people of China are truly amazing; they can make anything.
"I'm glad I could help you. I chose the lightest ones. All these things together weigh less than 20 pounds, so they won't be too tiring to carry," Ji Minxiu said.
"Lady Snow Demon is so thoughtful. It just so happens that I have two more maids by my side who can help share the burden," Yun Zhourong said gratefully.
"You can bring a maid along on the road to exile?" Ji Minxiu asked, somewhat surprised.
“This is exactly what I wanted to tell Lady Snow Demon.” Yun Zhourong then briefly explained the matter of buying two little girls, “In addition, the constables also want six down jackets and snow boots, so we need you to prepare eight more sets.”
"You did a good job. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, feel free to help. I'll take care of the supplies."
Ji Minxiu thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, Qiongzhou is a place of exile, so there are few people there to begin with. It can accommodate as many people as you want."
"Okay, thank you, Snow Demon!" Yun Zhou was overjoyed. Snow Demon was such a kind person!
"I'm just doing my bit. This heavy snow is going to last until November, and the people of the Dasheng Dynasty still have a long way to go." Ji Minxiu couldn't help but sigh.
He couldn't bear to tell Yun Zhourong that in history, this cold disaster killed more than 50,000 people in the Dasheng Dynasty.
"How could this happen? Doesn't that mean the harvest will fail this year? That's a disaster!" Yun Zhourong had wanted to ask about this before, and now that she knew, she was very worried.
With Ji Minxiu's help, she'll have no problem surviving, but what about the other people in the Dasheng Dynasty?
If my second uncle knew, he'd probably be so upset he wouldn't be able to sleep.
"So, my idea is that you will encounter many people in need of help along your journey of exile, and you can secretly help them then."
Ji Minxiu said, "I can help you with the food supply. As long as it's not too excessive, China's current food reserves are sufficient."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down excitedly before Ji Minxiu.
Choking back tears, she said, "Lord Snow Demon, you are so righteous! On behalf of the people of the Great Sheng Dynasty, I thank you!"
Ji Minxiu quickly helped her up, saying, "Alright, I said I don't like people kneeling. If you keep doing this, I'll get upset."
Yun Zhourong wiped away her tears and stood up. "Alright, alright, I forgot. But I'm worried that someone might take over the grain."
If the people cannot spontaneously help each other, then there is no point in giving them grain.
As for the imperial court, it's not that they don't want to provide disaster relief, but rather that they are willing but unable to.
The Dasheng Dynasty had only been established for a few years, and its treasury was empty. The wealth was controlled by powerful clans and nobles, and the court had to seek their help whenever it needed it.
However, after being exploited at each level, very little of the disaster relief grain actually reaches the people.
In such a disastrous year, it's likely that only the common people living near the ancestral homes of those powerful clans will escape unscathed.
"This is a problem. First, the grain cannot be too good, so as to avoid being targeted by the rich. In addition, we need a way to make the people obedient."
Ji Minxiu also frowned, as he really had no clue what to do for the time being.
"There's no rush. Let's take it one step at a time. If I need help again, I'll call you back."
Seeing this, Yun Zhourong finished speaking and handed the shopping list to Ji Minxiu, "In addition to the things I already have, I also need something like a hot water bottle to provide warmth while walking, and instant noodles too. They're all listed here."
"Okay, I understand. Wait for me for an hour, and I'll have someone prepare it right away," Ji Minxiu readily agreed.
"By the way, Snow Demon, what is that pressure cooker made of? It doesn't look like iron, but it's very hard." While waiting for the safety buckle to heat up, Yun Zhourong continued to ask.
"It's made of stainless steel."
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he stroked his chin and said, "Stainless steel is difficult to refine in your dynasty, but ordinary steel can be. Once you've settled down, I can teach you how to refine steel if needed. The knives you make will be sharper than those made of iron."
Yun Zhourong shook her head, "I'm afraid I, a woman, wouldn't need it."
“Women can do many things too. Don’t limit your thinking. Have you finished watching the video I gave you?” Ji Minxiu asked.
"I've finished reading it, but I'm currently in the Great Sheng Dynasty, which is different from China." Yun Zhourong pursed her lips and said without much confidence.
“That makes sense. Right now, your most important thing is to survive. Everything else is too far off.” Ji Minxiu originally had a lot to say, but in the end, he held back.
There's no point in saying anything now. At least let Yun Zhourong become stronger before letting her make changes slowly.
