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

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out. It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be in the same room together in the middle of the night."

"Xixi..."

Gu Changfeng looked at Qiao Linxi, whose body was covered with thorns, with a little helplessness: "Am I... am I so unforgivable in your eyes?"

Qiao Linxi ignored him and walked to the dressing mirror to wipe her hair.

“I don’t like having my life planned out for me.”

Qiao Linxi wiped her hair and said, "I like freedom. Even if the road to freedom is full of thorns, it is my choice and no one else has the right to interfere."

Gu Changfeng smiled bitterly, "Then it's my fault."

Qiao Linxi: "Now that it's a done deal, who are you doing this for? Don't tell me you regret doing this."

"Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the future."

Looking at Gu Changfeng behind him in the bronze mirror, Qiao Linxi became irritated for no reason: "Future, do I still have a future? Aren't I just a chess piece in your hands? You can make me go wherever you want me to go?"

"Do you know about extreme weather?"

Gu Changfeng also suddenly sensed today that extreme weather might be coming. At this time of year in previous years, although the weather was getting cooler, he didn't feel cold.

Perhaps, extremely cold weather is coming.

He lived in Dai Viet for so long, nearly a thousand years, and felt the changes of the times. He watched the rise and fall of kings generation after generation.

We have experienced droughts, floods, and of course, extreme weather.

It was just that in the past when the weather was extremely bad, he was like an outsider and didn't intervene. In fact, even if he was a half-immortal, he couldn't change anything by intervening.

It's different now, with Qiao Linxi, she has a cheat. Perhaps, she can save humanity as much as possible in this human catastrophe.

When Gu Changfeng mentioned this, Qiao Linxi's heart skipped a beat. Is this extreme weather really coming?

I started to panic for no reason.

She had not experienced any extreme weather in that world. At most, there was a serious polarization between drought and flood, and the regional differences between the north and the south were too great. In some places, it rained continuously for several months, causing heavy floods. In some places, there was no rain for several months, and all crops died of drought. In order to ensure the water supply in the city, many rural areas would stop running water.

In the countryside, if there is no water cellar, it will be very troublesome if the water is cut off. You have to go out to find food and daily necessities.

"What did you know?" Qiao Linxi didn't realize that her voice was shaking. She had been here for almost two years and had developed feelings for this place. She slowly accepted that she was a native of this place.

But now Gu Changfeng suddenly said that extreme weather was coming. Would she lose her life in this disaster again?

"Don't you know that too? Didn't your cheat tell you?"

Qiao Linxi shook her head: "She didn't say anything, she just told me to store as much food as possible."

Gu Changfeng nodded: "Yeah. She may not know what it is, or even if she knows, she can't tell you. But storing food is right. Do you have any ideas? Do you need my help?"

Faced with the impending disaster, Qiao Linxi decided to put aside her prejudice against Gu Changfeng and talk to him properly.

She turned around and looked at Gu Changfeng and said, "We have the technology to preserve food for a long time in our world. I plan to experiment with it myself in the next few days. If it succeeds, I will ask Meng Qingyu's grandfather to find someone from the Ministry of Revenue to promote this method on a large scale."

At this point, Qiao Linxi thought of Meng Qingyu's words, and couldn't help feeling a little sad: "However, Daiyue was hit by drought a few years ago, and crops couldn't be grown. It's only been more than a year since we resumed farming, and I'm afraid we can't produce much food. I'm afraid we can't survive until the extreme weather is over."

Expecting to grow food for several years by growing it for one year is almost a fantasy in this technologically backward era.

Even in her world, it was impossible to grow enough food in one year to feed the whole family for several years.

"Well, I'll talk to the Emperor and ask him to instruct the Ministry of Revenue to cooperate with you. Just go ahead and do it. If there's any obstacle, I'll clear it for you."

Qiao Linxi took the opportunity to take a look at the system's lunch box. It had been upgraded to level 10. Currently, there were six-digit dishes in the lunch box, more than 100,000 dishes. If converted into steamed buns, it would be nearly 8 million.

Suddenly, Qiao Linxi smiled. She thought of a better way. A faster way to collect gratitude points.

The number of lunch boxes made Qiao Linxi feel much better. When she asked the Ministry of Revenue to promote those methods of storing grain, she could mention her name, Qiao Linxi. Wouldn't the people be grateful to her?

As long as the people express their gratitude to her, she can let the system record it and play it on a loop every day. Wouldn't the value of gratitude soar like a rocket?

With endless gratitude points, she can exchange them for food with the system. If nothing else, it would be no problem to feed the people she cares about.

To put it in a broader sense, it can be used to feed the entire capital city without any problem.

Thinking of this, Qiao Linxi felt much better.

Seeing Qiao Linxi suddenly laugh, Gu Changfeng also smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Have you thought of anything good?"

"I'm thinking, I don't need to be so pessimistic."

"Yeah, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Extreme weather only appeared after the war, so there's still some time."

Qiao Linxi: ...

She vaguely guessed that Gu Changfeng had given her to Meng Qingyu in preparation for a war with East Vietnam.

Wars require manpower and financial resources, and food and fodder are of utmost importance. She is likely to be sent to escort food and fodder.

If the war lasts too long and the food and fodder sent are consumed, then won’t she have to use up the food in her system?

Thinking of this, Qiao Linxi's face fell.

"Don't worry, I will provide you with logistics support in the capital when the time comes."

Gu Changfeng looked at the bright night sky outside the window and sighed in his heart, it's almost time, it's almost time. The war is about to start, maybe we won't even be able to wait until the New Year.

The envoys from Dongyue have already returned to Dongyue. As long as Yue Qingrong returns to Dongyue and exaggerates the matter, the priests will not be able to swallow this insult, considering their status in Dongyue.

The current high priest will definitely take this opportunity to provoke a war between the two countries.

"Princess, the guest room is ready."

Nanny Wang had not yet gone to rest when she heard the doorman come to report that Gu Changfeng had arrived, so she arranged a guest room.

"No need for that. I'll prepare a soft couch for you to set up next to the princess' bed. You can all go down and rest. I'll keep watch for the princess."

"This..." Nanny Wang looked at Qiao Linxi with some embarrassment, wanting to say that this was not against the rules, a single man and a single woman, and if the news got out, people would make up something.

Although there were eunuchs on night watch, they were all outdoors. Since Gu Changfeng had to stay indoors, she didn't dare to say anything and could only look at Qiao Linxi, hoping that Qiao Linxi would understand the severity of the situation.

"If you want to stay, go to the guest room. I have been married to Meng Qingyu and you are someone else's fiancée. If you stay here, people will inevitably gossip about you."
