Once the Lantern Festival was over, Sheng Lingwei led her people back to Yucheng County.
Yueyu Qian and Nangong Zichen resolutely followed her to Yucheng County, leaving Nangong Hanmo, who was crying, alone in the Nandi Palace.
He wished he could abdicate immediately.
However, these words were met with strong opposition from the court officials and Yueyuqian and her two children.
There was nothing he could do; he couldn't fight against so many people alone. He could only swallow his pride and continue to serve for a few more years. When his son turned fifteen, he was determined to let him succeed to the throne.
Nangong Hanmo: ...Waaah, I'm so sad. Why is he always the one who gets hurt?
...
Yucheng County is currently in the early stages of development, and there is still much to be done.
Therefore, as soon as Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun returned, they immediately devoted themselves to the development of Yucheng County.
After a year, Yucheng County expanded to include several cities in the surrounding area. It was no longer just a county; its size was approaching that of a medium-sized country.
Most importantly, it possesses formidable military strength and the world's most powerful superhuman army, whose strength is so formidable and indestructible that it strikes fear into the hearts of other nations.
Furthermore, its economic strength has become the best in the world. It not only produces all kinds of goods, but also grows an unprecedented variety of grains, vegetables and fruits, which taste absolutely delicious.
As a result, merchants from all over the world flocked to Yucheng County, vying to sign business agreements with the county, and both sides made a fortune.
Yucheng County has become a bustling place that attracts everyone.
The scenery here is beautiful, picturesque, and the buildings are exquisite. There are countless beautiful places to see, making it the perfect place to live and retire.
Many people who come here don't want to leave.
It is permissible to reside in Yucheng County for a few months, but if you wish to stay here permanently, you must renounce your original nationality and become a resident of Yucheng County.
In addition, houses in Yucheng County will not be sold to people from other countries; only people who have become residents of Yucheng County are eligible to buy houses.
After weighing the pros and cons, most people chose to stay and become residents of Yucheng County.
Firstly, the environment here is beautiful, and one can enjoy various privileges that are only available to the people of Yucheng County.
Secondly, this place has promising prospects and is full of vitality. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will never go hungry.
Thirdly, although Yucheng County is not a country, it is more powerful than any other country. People living there are well-off and do not have to worry about war.
Moreover, this is a time when there is a shortage of people. They must seize the opportunity. Once the population is saturated, even if someone wants to become a resident of Yucheng County, it will only be a pipe dream.
In May of that year, earthquakes struck Northern Qi and some surrounding countries, with the most severe earthquakes occurring in Northern Qi, especially in the capital region.
Fortunately, Sheng Lingwei had informed Sheng Haoyu and Ye Jinyin about the earthquake in advance, and the couple made full preparations and led the people to move away from the capital city ahead of time.
Many ministers and noble families could not understand their actions and strongly opposed them.
It caused quite a stir at the time, but was eventually suppressed by the couple.
The couple unanimously decided to abandon those who could not fully obey their orders and who even plotted to seize power and rebel.
Since they are so unwilling to leave the capital, then they will never be able to leave.
When the earthquake struck, these people were ultimately killed by their own ambition and ignorance, their bones forever buried in the imperial city.
Among them were Sheng Wei, who was barely clinging to life, his empress, Consort Shu, Consort Xian, the second princess, the fourth princess...
Large-scale relocation is no easy task. It took Sheng Haoyu and Ye Jinyin two full months to relocate the people within the earthquake zone.
Some people, however, were stubborn and refused to listen to advice, and were unwilling to relocate.
If it weren't for the emperor's authority, they would have cursed the couple for making trouble out of nothing, wasting people's money and resources, and causing them great harm. What was their purpose?
What a load of bull, an earthquake! Everything's fine, isn't it?
Sheng Haoyu and his wife didn't say much to these ignorant people, only saying, "Good advice is useless against these suicidal ghosts. There's no need to pay them any more attention. Let them be!"
Later on, these people paid the ultimate price for it.
Even after the earthquake, the people and officials who had been relocated felt both fear and relief.
Fortunately, they obeyed the emperor and empress's orders. Although the migration was arduous, they at least escaped the earthquake disaster and were fortunate enough to survive.
Post-disaster reconstruction is a major challenge!
The land is overgrown with thorns, and everything is in ruins!
The Sheng couple were in a real bind. They had neither money nor food, so they finally turned to Sheng Lingwei for help.
When her best friend is in trouble, Sheng Lingwei certainly won't stand idly by.
Besides, she is still Princess Chang Le of Northern Qi, and she can't just ignore the people of Northern Qi.
They immediately sent people to deliver money, food, and other necessary supplies, and also gave Ye Jinyin and her husband some advice.
With Sheng Lingwei's help, the couple found another suitable location to build a brand-new imperial city, divided the surrounding area into other cities, and gradually settled the people.
Only after the people were completely settled did the couple finally breathe a sigh of relief and exchange a complicated smile.
They owe Sheng Lingwei more and more.
They could never repay this kindness in their lifetime, but no matter what, they would always remember it and would do their best to repay it.
