Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 219: Escaping from natural disasters and turning things around (18)
What does Qi Haochen think? Qi Haochen doesn't think about these things. What Qi Haochen is thinking about is how to protect himself.
There is hope while you are alive, and all is over when you die.
As a special child who has a magical space since he can remember, and whose father instills in him every day that he is valued by immortals, Qi Haochen has always felt that he is the only choice to be the future emperor.
Isn't it said that emperors are born different? He completely meets these characteristics. So when he heard that his uncle summoned them to Beijing, he was not frightened. Instead, he was eager to try.
"Mother, I am not afraid. I am very confident that I can go to the capital."
Qi Haochen's eyes were sparkling, like beautiful gems, amazing.
Shen Yao reached out and rubbed Qi Haochen's little head, "Your elder brother and the others will go with you."
Over the past few years, Qi Haochen has always had a good relationship with Shen Cheng and others, and has not been affected by his so-called biological father at all.
Especially after Shen Cheng and Shen Ying got married one after another, Qi Chen even started to pay attention to the marriage of Shen Shi and Shen Yun.
According to Qi Chen, there is no need for family members to have different opinions. He has watched his children grow up, so he will feel at ease if they have a good home.
In fact, it was because of the marriage of Shen Cheng and Shen Ying that Qi Chen saw substantial benefits.
And the higher Shen Cheng and the others go, the more beneficial it will be for Qi Haochen.
We are all blood relatives from the same mother. What could be more reliable than this?
Qi Chen has few children of his own, so Qi Yingyue can only live in the backyard. Qi Haochen can't support himself. Now that he has the company of Shen Cheng's brothers and sisters from the same mother, he has to spend more time and effort to cultivate their relationship.
No matter what Qi Chen is thinking, judging from what Qi Chen has done, it will not do any harm to Shen Cheng and the others, so Shen Yao will naturally go with the flow and will not refuse.
When Qi Haochen heard that his elder brother and the others were also going to the capital, he couldn't help but smile.
In the evening, when Qi Chen came over, Shen Yao told him about her arrangements, which Qi Chen strongly agreed with.
Shen Yao glanced at Qi Chen helplessly, "Your Highness is really something. He deliberately put on this show just to suppress Chen'er's self-confidence."
He was not afraid that Qi Haochen would not cooperate with the performance and would simply quit.
Qi Chen laughed loudly, hugged Shen Yao and called her "Madam" who understood his thoughts best.
"I'm doing this for Chen'er's own good. This child doesn't have any major flaws." The only thing I can complain about is his overflowing self-confidence.
I also blame myself for bragging too much when my son was young and not making him realize that he should be low-key in everything.
However, it is not too late to correct it now. There is still less than half a year before entering Beijing, so it is still in time.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao thought to herself, is this a matter of time or not? The key is that this person's methods are too rough, and he almost got exposed.
"Hahahahahaha, don't I have my wife to help me? My wife is my wise wife. With my wife's help, I am not afraid of these things."
Qi Chen's nice words came out of his mouth. What could Shen Yao say? She already knew this man's character.
The two of them sat together discussing Qi Haochen's future visit to Beijing.
The capital was also in chaos, and Qi Chen really didn't want Qi Haochen to go there at this time.
"The water in the capital is so muddy that it can drown people, and the emperor has been very fond of making trouble in recent years."
Qi Chen felt tired and didn't know what to say. His royal brother planned to raise all his sons and nephews together to raise Gu. As for what kind of creature would be raised, it would depend on his royal brother's methods.
"Your Majesty, I am worried about Chen'er. The capital is not as safe as Changzhou. Moreover, there have been droughts, floods, blizzards, and earthworms in recent years. There are bad news almost every year. If Chen'er goes to the capital, he can only rely on himself."
Qi Haochen's methods were unfamiliar and immature, and Qi Chen always acted low-key all year round. The only time he made a high-profile donation of grain was when he used the fiefdom as an excuse to reject it.
Oh, the grain offering here refers to the high-yield grain crops that Qi Chen took out from Qi Haochen's space.
After several years of continuous promotion, the new grain has been planted all over the country.
Not to mention, the seeds selected by Shen Yao are all the types that can guarantee large quantities and satisfying satiety. Although the taste is not very delicious, the high yield effect is still fragrant enough. The continuous population growth in the three places of Changzhou is due to these food benefits.
Qi Chen patted Shen Yao on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. I will arrange for someone to protect Chen'er. No matter how bad it gets, there is still the emperor in the palace."
Compared with the number of offspring of other people, Qi Chen's is pitifully small.
Even if he wants to use him, the emperor has to consider the consequences if something happens to Qi Haochen.
Other people wouldn’t go crazy if their son died, but Qi Chen would.
……
Time flies, and it is the annual harvest season again.
Shen Yao stood in the small courtyard, the flowers and plants around her had already withered.
If this ancient natural disaster had any impact on Shen Yao, it was that she had to stay in the mansion longer and didn't dare to go out easily.
But the impact on Shen Yao's daily food, clothing, housing and transportation is not that big.
Because no matter how difficult life was outside, with Qi Chen's identity, Shen Yao never had to worry about food and clothing in the backyard of the palace. Even in dry months, she could still wash normally, but not as frequently as in normal years.
'Sure enough, fleeing from natural disasters and famines is aimed at ordinary people at the bottom of society.
For the rich and powerful, if they have a wide range of information sources and make adequate preparations in advance, they will not be afraid of accidents.'
During the years they lived in Changzhou Prefecture, Shen Yao always lived comfortably, except for one year when the drought was so unbearable that they had to leave their fiefdom and seek refuge outside. This might be the same sky, but different lives.
Shen Yaoshen did not say anything that was inconsistent with his heart. He felt that as a vested interest, he should have had the corresponding awareness long ago.
The maidservant bent down and brought this season's harvest, which came from the farm in the suburbs.
Page after page recorded the grain production, without any fancy words, just strings of numbers that represented what she wanted to see.
“All the new grain is collected and sent to the warehouse, and the old grain is taken out and sold in the shops.
Prices remain unchanged, and food circulating in the market will be recovered.
If anyone stirs up trouble, send it directly to the butler for the prince to decide."
As the de facto mistress of the palace, Shen Yao is quite busy on a daily basis.
For example, the management of some shops controlled by the royal palace is currently handled by Shen Yao.
The advantage of this is that Shen Yao has some estimate of the financial situation of the palace.
Well, if they continue to grow and develop at this rate, they will be able to feed more refugees.
Compared to other places where people were eager to drive people out, only Changzhou Prefecture welcomed everyone and even took the initiative to distribute food, land and real estate.
The reason for this is naturally the huge profits brought by population growth. Just by paying some not-so-much materials, you can get double or even several times the return. Shen Yao and Qi Chen both feel that this deal is not a loss.
"But you still can't make it too obvious. I'll continue to cry to the capital when I have time."
It is their business if they can collect it, but they cannot let others know that they can really collect it.
Some people are the kind that just can't stand seeing others doing well. They like to stir up trouble even though it obviously doesn't benefit them.
Qi Chen had captured many spies sent in before. Of course, he also interfered with other fiefdoms. Everyone did the same thing, so no one should stand out.
"If you want to complain, you have to produce actual evidence," Shen Yao turned around and took out a list and handed it to Qi Chen. "These are the refugees who came from Chongzhou a few days ago. Prince Kang and Prince Duan refused to accept them. Now these refugees are temporarily settled in Dongchang Prefecture."
Dongchang Prefecture has a granary, and the daily consumption of grain is supplied normally because of the arrival of new grain.
Originally, Shen Yao planned to send half of this group of people to Guangping Prefecture.
If Qi Chen were to cry and complain right now, it would be just right to arrange it at the edge of Dongchang Prefecture. Not only would it attract people's attention at a glance, it would also alleviate some people's groundless speculation about them.
"Madam and I really have the same tacit understanding," Qi Chen said with emotion, it was really nice to have a virtuous wife. He didn't need to be responsible for anything because someone had already taken care of all these things in advance.
"Just do as Madam wishes, my brothers," Qi Chen shook his head. They had the same starting point but were not doing as well as he was.
As expected, the throne of the capital should be in the pocket of them and their son.
With the fresh evidence in hand, Qi Chen returned to his study and wrote a heartfelt letter of complaint.
There is not much content in the memorial, and most of it is spent on wailing and complaining about poverty.
Whether this would be of much use is something that everyone in the capital should consider. Qi Chen is currently only responsible for making his predicament known to the public. Although this fiefdom is still his, it is also land belonging to the State of Qi.
……
The earth is barren and the leaves are yellow.
A group of ragged refugees were moving forward along the long dirt road.
"Ni'er, we're almost there, in a few days, we'll be able to reach King Luo's territory.
I heard that we can get enough food at King Luo's place. We have been walking for a month, and it is time to reach the end."
The old man spoke to the girl beside him who was so thin that she was just a bag of bones.
There are quite a few elderly people like this, and they all come out to escape together.
The family’s harvest failed and the county government could not distribute food, so they had no choice but to find a way to make a living.
Fortunately, they were lucky and met many people along the avenue.
It is said that King Luo's fiefdom is rich and sparsely populated, and they will be able to live a life with enough food and warm clothing once they arrive.
Hey!
They don't expect to have enough food and clothing, but as long as they can survive the cold winter safely, they feel there is still hope in life.
"What are you standing there for? I have already done everything the adults told me to do."
The little beggar was patted on the shoulder. His face was gaudy but his eyes were clear.
"Brother Qian, don't worry. We have already made all the arrangements. But why are they all being sent to King Luo's fiefdom? Can't our fiefdom also accommodate these refugees?"
"What do you know? Big shots always think too much. Anyway, we can't decide where to send them. Let's go. There are other places to go."
After the man finished speaking, he pulled the little beggar and walked back step by step against the flow of people.
Although their behavior was a bit strange, everyone was hungry and busy with their own affairs, so no one paid any attention to them.
However, some people who fell behind would occasionally glance at them and mutter something to themselves, saying things like "as expected".
