Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341: Chapter 338: Three-Year Agreement_1

The Emperor ordered the Ministry of Revenue to urgently allocate the granary’s stock. King Liang, Li Mingrui, and General Shi Panshan were to transport it overnight and deliver it to Hushui and Guangling, already crowded with disaster victims.

Minister of Revenue Chu Zhongxing continued to procure food supplies.

Bai Qingyan heard that this disaster relief task was overseen by Li Mao’s son, Li Mingrui, with General Shi Panshan assisting, and King Liang, representing the Imperial Family, was barely a deputy in charge.

Minister of Revenue Chu Zhongxing, Left Prime Minister Li Mao, King Liang...

Indeed, they were all entangled together.

Compared to the already seated Crown Prince, if King Liang could be elevated, Li Mao would be the prime contributor.

She put away the red-tasselled silver spear and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, flexing her wrist.

The famine in Yanwo not only shifted focus from the imperial examination corruption case but also provided an opportunity for King Liang to reappear before the Emperor. It allowed Li Mao’s son, Li Mingrui, to step into the spotlight.

Therefore... King Liang and Li Mingrui would certainly handle this Yanwo famine relief flawlessly.

In this way, Bai Qingyan was not worried that corruption or embezzlement would lead to more innocent lives lost.

Standing under the gallery, she thought about the refugees fleeing to Pingyang City. If... these refugees could be directed to Youhua Road and handed over to Ah Jue, they could then become a source of soldiers.

Troops come from the people. The more people there are, the more soldiers there will be. Strong people make strong soldiers.

Bai Qingyan returned to her room, wrote a letter, sealed it, and instructed Chun Tao to deliver it to Lu Ping. She ordered the letter to be sent quickly to General Shen Liangyu of the Bai family army in the southern border.

After serving Bai Qingyan a bath, Chun Tao stood under the lamp to help dry Bai Qingyan’s hair. Nanny Tong entered with two maids, carrying the newly sewn iron sandbags, her eyes full of heartache. "Eldest Young Lady, these iron sandbags are too heavy."

"Once you’re used to it, it’s not so bad." She turned a page of her book and smiled at the frowning Nanny Tong. "This is my way of being lazy. It’s much easier now. Besides, even if it’s for nothing else, my body is getting better by the day. Nanny should be happy."

Seeing Bai Qingyan’s health improve day by day, Nanny Tong was indeed happy.

Back then, Doctor Hong said Bai Qingyan had injured her lower dantian, losing all her martial arts, and would have difficulty having descendants. Nanny Tong cried every day. Losing martial arts wasn’t the worst part; how could it be so hard to have children?

Now, with the Eldest Young Lady getting stronger every day and gradually regaining what she had learned, Nanny Tong felt that in terms of descendants... heaven wouldn’t be so cruel as to neglect the Eldest Young Lady.

Early the next morning, Nanny Tong ordered the carriage to be prepared and led a team of guards to accompany Bai Qingyan out of the city to visit Mr. Guan Yongchong.

The scholar Mr. Guan Yongchong and Mr. Cui Shiyan had lived for years in the bamboo forest of Anyu Mountain outside the city, finding solace in nature.

Yesterday, Bai Jinzhi had fussed about going with Bai Qingyan to visit Mr. Guan, so today she followed on horseback.

Just as the party from the Princess of Zhen’s mansion left the city, they encountered the returning Xiliang negotiation team.
