This winter there was heavy snow, and apart from the capital, the entire northern Zhili and northern Shanxi Province were severely affected.

After Chen Qingzhu first suggested that there would be heavy snow this winter, Emperor Yong'an still did not provide relief to the disaster area despite Yuan Songbo's strong advice.

There was no other reason. The Ministry of Revenue said that the national treasury was in a tight situation and that they had to reserve enough military funds for each place, so they had no money to allocate for disaster relief.

Therefore, Emperor Yong'an finally issued only one imperial decree, ordering the affected areas to be prepared to deal with the victims, and to actively provide relief to the victims if a snowstorm occurred.

Chen Qingzhu found this extremely ironic.

Although the national treasury had no money, Emperor Yong'an's treasury had a lot of treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

It would be a piece of cake to sell some of them and raise hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for disaster relief. There was no need to ask local officials to provide relief for the snow disaster without any evidence.

Of course, there are granaries in the area.

If these local officials had been more attentive and actually opened their granaries to release grain and organized the people to fight the cold together, so many people would not have starved to death or frozen to death.

Unfortunately, most of these people, from the governor to the prefect and county magistrate, are of the Pi Xiu type.

The imperial court allocated disaster relief funds, but these people still wanted to take advantage of them, let alone empty talk.

That would be equivalent to asking them to distribute the meat in their pots to ordinary people. How could these people seriously carry out the order?

Now that Chen Qingzhu had money in hand and prestige in the court, and his cultivation had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, with the help of the formation, he could also create a storage talisman by spending more time and spiritual energy.

She felt that she was very confident that she could help the people affected by this natural disaster.

After thinking it over in her mind, she called Huiyun:

"Huiyun, find someone to tell Yuan Songbo that I will go to his house tonight to discuss something important."

In the court, the person Chen Qingzhu trusts most in terms of ability and character is Yuan Songbo.

She planned to let Yuan Songbo go north with her to take charge of this matter.

"Yes."

Then, Chen Qingzhu called Rong Niang again, asked her to close her eyes and meditate, and transferred some merit light spots to her sea of ​​consciousness.

This is one of the protection measures for Rong Niang and others.

She had to be on guard against the possibility that Rong Niang and others would be attacked by the cultivator's soul while she was away from the capital to provide disaster relief in the north.

She was not sure whether placing the power of merit in the sea of ​​consciousness would have any defensive effect.

But at least, the body contains the power of merit, which allows it to automatically repair itself after being injured.

However, this is only a backup measure.

The most important ones are the wind talisman and the teleportation array.

The monk's soul seemed to be hidden in the storage mustard seed, unable to move independently and could only be carried by ordinary people.

With the wind talisman and the teleportation array, they can escape from the attack range of the monk's soul as quickly as possible.

The world of cultivation is vast and boundless, with teleportation arrays capable of teleporting tens of thousands of miles. Now that my cultivation has just entered the late stage of Qi Refining, the conditions are very simple and I can only set up a small one-way teleportation array of two to three hundred miles.

After some thought, she placed the other end of the teleportation array on the edge of Bohai Sea.

Bohai is exactly three hundred miles away from the capital.

If something unexpected happens in the capital, Rong Niang and the others can directly go to the seaside through the teleportation array and take a boat back to Nandu.

The sea is vast and boundless, making it easier to escape from pursuers.

It took her a whole day to go back and forth to the Bohai Sea, to set up the teleportation array and make sure it could be used normally before returning to Du'e Temple.

After dinner, she went directly to Yuan Songbo’s mansion in the capital.

Calling it a mansion is a bit of an exaggeration, as it is just a small courtyard with two entrances, and it is rented.

The old couple lived in a house not as luxurious as when they first brought Mo Niang with them. Including the doorman and the groom, they only had five servants.

Compared to those powerful people who have hundreds of servants, it is really shabby.

Chen Qingzhu, dressed in green, strolled in the night and descended lightly from the roof without disturbing anyone.

The light was on in the study.
