I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"Princess, did you sense something?"

Meng Qingyu suddenly grabbed Qiao Linxi's arm excitedly: "If the snowstorm only lasts for a short period of time, it may be possible to survive. If the snowstorm lasts for several years, it is impossible for people to survive without food."

Although Meng Qingyu did not attend court, he heard from his grandfather that many people would freeze to death every winter. He could not imagine that if the snowstorm really continued for several years, then... there would be corpses everywhere. It was too terrible, too terrible!

"I didn't sense anything, I just asked casually."

Meng Qingyu knew he had lost his composure, so he let go of Qiao Linxi's arm, sighed, and said, "Although it has been dry in recent years, there are still some crops that are drought-resistant and can be grown to make a living. I can't imagine how people will survive if the snowstorm continues for a few years."

If that time really comes, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos.

"But Princess, since you have a way to store grain for a long time, I will talk to my grandfather and ask him to help you make an appointment with the Ministry of Revenue."

Meng Qingyu also felt very strange. Why did he always believe Qiao Linxi unconditionally? This kind of thing was too unbelievable, but he didn't doubt it.

Then, Meng Qingyu sighed again: "Even if there is such a method, I am afraid that we can't store much grain. It only started to rain in Dai Viet last year. How much grain can be grown this year? The people don't have enough to eat, so how can there be extra grain to pay taxes?"

Seeing Meng Qingyu's worrying look, Qiao Linxi burst out laughing and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, there are always taller ones to hold up the sky if it collapses. You are just a child, so don't worry about it."

Meng Qingyu was only eighteen years old. Although she was very mature in this era, she was still just a child. Eighteen-year-olds in her era only knew how to play games and eat, so how could they care about these major events?

Being patted on the shoulder by Qiao Linxi like an elder, Meng Qingyu blushed a little and said awkwardly: "I... I am eighteen years old. If I had married earlier, I would have children running around."

He actually wanted to say that he was older than Qiao Linxi, but he didn't dare to say that. Although Qiao Linxi was only sixteen years old, she was a princess personally appointed by the emperor. It would be disrespectful for him to say that.

When talking about children, Qiao Linxi was also stunned. Then she looked at Meng Qingyu awkwardly: "Well, are you really determined to marry me? After marrying me, maybe, maybe you won't see the scene of children running around."

Meng Qingyu was stunned again, and then looked into Qiao Linxi's eyes. He guessed that after marrying Qiao Linxi, Qiao Linxi might not sleep with him, and naturally would not give birth to his child.

"At this point, the princess and I have no choice."

Although Qiao Linxi often said that she would find some young and handsome men when she had money, she really couldn't sleep with those men without any emotional basis.

She likes handsome boys, and it’s just for the sake of keeping them in front of her eyes, but she doesn’t necessarily have to eat them.

"I've wronged you."

Meng Qingyu shook his head: "I'm not wronged. I'm the prince consort, what a noble status."

"When we get married in the future, if you have someone you like, you can bring him/her into the mansion. I will never stop you."

Why bring him into the mansion? Because Qiao Linxi knew that Meng Qingyu was the prince consort and it was impossible for them to divorce.

Meng Qingyu looked at Qiao Linxi in surprise. How could she say such a thing? She really looked like Gu Changfeng.

One is willing to send a man to the woman she likes, and the other is willing to let her husband find other women.

They are... a perfect match.

"I'm not kidding."

Looking at Qiao Linxi's sincere eyes, Meng Qingyu felt a pang of pain in his heart. How could she be so perfunctory about marriage?

"Then Princess, if you like a young man in the future, you can tell me and I will help you get him into the palace. As a princess of Dingguo, you can have a few male concubines in addition to your husband."

Meng Qingyu didn't understand why he felt so blocked in his heart when he said this. It was quite uncomfortable.

"Hehe..." Qiao Linxi laughed dryly a few times. Is this joke about looking for a little brother going to go away?

"As for the Ministry of Revenue, how about I ask my grandfather to find someone after our wedding?"

Qiao Linxi shook his head: "This should be done as soon as possible. I want the Ministry of Revenue to promote this method so that it can be used in this year's autumn harvest."

"Well, I'll do it."

With no topic to talk about, both of them fell silent. Meng Qingyu didn't say he was leaving, and Qiao Linxi didn't say anything to see him off.

Qiao Linxi was looking for books in the system that could teach how to store food, while Meng Qingyu sat quietly beside her.

After looking through the system, Qiao Linxi remembered the so-called martial arts secrets he had bought from the mall some time ago, so he took them out and placed them on the table.

Meng Qingyu was not surprised to see Qiao Linxi suddenly take out a few books. He knew that Qiao Linxi had the Qiankun Ding, and perhaps the books were placed in the Qiankun Ding.

"You practice martial arts, so you should be able to understand it, right?"

Qiao Linxi pushed the book in front of Meng Qingyu: "Can you teach me after you read it? I also want to learn some self-defense moves."

Meng Qingyu didn't delay and picked up the book to read it. He was a little surprised when he saw the words inside. What kind of font is this? Although he could understand it, he felt it was very strange. The size of each word was uniform and square.

Seeing him frown, Qiao Linxi asked, "Is there any problem?"

"No problem, I can understand. These are some mental methods and sword techniques. I'll take them back and take a look. I'll practice them when I understand them. I'll teach the princess when I'm done. Sword techniques are not a big problem, but the mental methods cannot be practiced casually, or you'll go astray."

Qiao Linxi nodded to show his understanding.

Meng Qingyu stood up and left with a few books in his arms. When he reached the door, he turned back and looked at Qiao Linxi: "Princess, if we get married, can we try to be a real couple?"

Qiao Linxi: “Ah?”

"Nothing. Princess, please rest early."

[Ahhh! I saw red bubbles coming out of Meng Qingyu's body. ]

Qiao Linxi:?

[Meng Qingyu may have started to like you. ]

Qiao Linxi: That’s it? You like it?

[It should be. Meng Qingyu is actually very innocent. He has never had any contact with any young lady from an aristocratic family before. He has no emotions at all. It is not surprising that he has feelings for you since he has been with you every day these days. Maybe he really wants to be a real couple with you, the kind that can give birth to a baby.]

[Don't you dislike him? Just go with the flow. ]

What's the point of going with the flow? There's Gu Changfeng between them. Who knows what Dian Gong will do next?

Gu Changfeng was like a sword hanging over his head, ready to stab him at any moment. Qiao Linxi was wondering whether he should get rid of Gu Changfeng.
