The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

Yan Qi nodded: "Yes, I see that you attach so much importance to Ji Yunshan's coal mines, and you want to stockpile a large amount of coke,

I guess they were worried that the people wouldn't have enough charcoal to keep warm in the winter, so they thought of setting up the coke-burning stoves in advance."

"But you don't know why I do this, and you never asked me."

"I don't have to ask everything. I trust you and I know that what you want to do is not a bad thing. As long as you want to do it, I will support you."

Although Yan Qi said this lightly, how could Zhao Huayin not be moved?

Having lived in a world of calculation and abandonment since childhood, it is understandable that Yan Qi is very defensive, but as long as he is with Zhao Huayin, he is willing to give her all his trust.

"It is precisely because of your unconditional trust that I want to tell you today why I do this."

Zhao Huayin looked very serious and looked straight into Yan Qi's eyes.

Yan Qi did not urge her, but looked at Zhao Huayin seriously, waiting quietly for her to continue.

“All this happened because of a dream I had.

In that dream, there was a snowstorm in winter and countless people suffered. Because there was not enough charcoal to keep warm, many people froze to death.

The people were living in dire straits, but the officials sent by the court were very perfunctory and never even left the government offices.

All the money for disaster relief went into the pockets of officials, and in the end the only victims were innocent people.

In that dream, tens of thousands of people died in the snowstorm, especially in the counties and districts around the capital.

Many villages were deserted, with entire villages wiped out in the snowstorm."

When talking about the snowstorm in the previous life, Zhao Huayin's voice trembled slightly.

In her previous life, Zhao Huayin was just a woman in the inner chamber. Her parents had passed away and she was pregnant, so all she could do was donate some money.

However, the silver donated by Zhao Huayin and the ladies in the capital did not end up in the hands of the victims, but went into the pockets of King Xuan and corrupt officials.

Now that King Xuan has been deposed and Emperor Hui has appointed King Jin as regent, I believe that no corrupt officials will be able to make any moves.

"Is it because of this dream that you prepared for a rainy day and asked Yan Zhao to prepare so much coke?"

"Yes, do you think this is nonsense?"

After Zhao Huayin finished speaking, she looked at Yan Qi and waited quietly for his answer.

"will not."

Yan Qi looked at Zhao Huayin with firm eyes.

"I believe what you say."

From just now, Yan Qi noticed that Zhao Huayin's voice was trembling when she talked about the snow disaster.

"If I didn't do anything about it in your dream, then I will support you in whatever you want to do now."

Only then did Zhao Huayin realize that Yan Qi did not appear in her previous narration.

In her previous life, Zhao Huayin did not pay attention to Yan Qi. She only knew that he was sent out by Emperor Hui and was not in the capital at that time.

"If in your dream, this winter is terrible and terrible things happen, let us face it together. Don't be afraid, Huayin."

When Yan Qi said these words in a gentle voice, Zhao Huayin felt her eyes warm.

“If other people heard this, they would think I was a lunatic for saying such crazy things.

You even went so far as to believe my crazy talk."

“Huayin cares about the people, and everything he does is for the greater good. No matter what others say, I will stand by you.

Let’s open a few more coke shops in other districts and counties.

I will discuss with King Jin and prepare in advance for the cold winter and stockpile food and charcoal.

As long as this matter has the support of the imperial court, it will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Holding back the tears in her eyes, Zhao Huayin raised the corners of her lips and looked at Yan Qi.

"Okay, let's work together to get this done. If the deal with Qi is successful, I will have more money to use for this.

I will try my best to prevent the things in my dream from coming true."

"Tell me anything you have in the future, don't carry it all on your own."

"it is good!"

Zhao Huayin smiled brilliantly.

"Then let's go to Yunshangfang to prepare now. Brother will be here to talk."

Arriving at Yunshangfang, Zhao Huayin went to the exhibition hall first. The exhibits here had been replaced by dresses designed by County Princess Jiayi by Yan Zhao.

There were very few embroidery works hung up, and after looking around, Zhao Huayin felt that there was nothing suitable.

"It seems that I have to embroider a new piece of work to send to Qi State. The existing embroidery is either not grand enough,

It's grand enough but hard to give away. Your Majesty, do you have any suggestions on what I should embroider?"

"I heard from the King of Jin that the Queen Mother of Qi is a Buddhist and the King of Qi is very filial. We can cater to their preferences and embroider something related to Buddhist scriptures."

Zhao Huayin's eyes lit up: "Believe in Buddhism? Then I know what to give as a gift. I can embroider a Buddhist scripture!"

Based on the information provided by Yan Qi, Zhao Huayin immediately thought of giving the Queen Mother of Qi a piece of free-stitch embroidery.

Yan Qi followed Zhao Huayin into the warehouse. They stayed there for a long time before Zhao Huayin finally selected a piece of bamboo green silk.

After deciding on the material, one had to find matching silk threads. Some of the silk threads were not available in Yunshangfang, so Zhao Huayin wrote a list and asked Nanny Qian to buy them as soon as possible.

Until Zhao Huayin left, Yan Zhao did not come to Yunshangfang, and it was unknown how the conversation with Chu Heng went.

"I haven't done random stitch embroidery for a long time. If the deal with Qi State fails, I can just hang the embroidery in Yunshangfang after it's finished."

Zhao Huayin explained to Yan Qi.

"It shouldn't be a problem. If it were any other business, King Jin wouldn't agree. Just do it first, and you'll know the result when Yan Zhao comes back."

"Okay, now that the material and thread have been decided, why don't you come with me to choose a calligraphy copybook?

We need to think carefully about the words we want to put on the embroidery and send it out.”

"If you want, you can write one yourself. Your handwriting is very good."

“I’d better not do that. I’ll find it weird if I embroider my own words.

Why don't you write it, Your Majesty? Your handwriting is elegant and suitable."

After hearing what Zhao Huayin said, Yan Qi refused: "My handwriting is too hard and sharp, not suitable for writing Buddhist scriptures. It is more suitable to write Buddhist scriptures with softer handwriting."

Zhao Huayin thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something: "Then let my brother write it. My brother's handwriting is like his personality, which is very gentle."

Yan Qi nodded.

"Yes, Yan Zhao's calligraphy is indeed the most suitable.

Then you can choose the Buddhist scriptures you want to embroider, and you can start working on it when Yan Zhao comes back."

"it is good."

Originally, it would be best to go to Pin Ya Ju to select Buddhist scriptures, but Pin Ya Ju was holding a banquet today.

Yan Qi felt it was noisy and didn't want to go back, so the two of them went to the bookstore.

Anyway, the contents of the Buddhist scriptures are the same, so it doesn’t matter where you choose.

After staying in the bookstore for only an incense stick of time, Zhao Huayin selected a Buddhist scripture and returned to the Shangshu Mansion.

Yan Qi only sent Zhao Huayin back to the Shangshu Mansion and left.

Yan Qi explained to Zhao Huayin that the King of Jin had been busy receiving the envoys from Qi State recently, and many things in the court required him to do.

There was something that Yan Qi didn't say. Zhao Huayin knew that Yan Qi and Prince Jin had been rectifying the government during this period.

Now that Emperor Hui is dead, Yan Qi is trying hard to help Prince Jin and prepare for his smooth succession to the throne.
