Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.

Earthquakes are common in the south, but in the north, when he grew up, he had never seen anything called a house being destroyed by an earthquake.

After experiencing it myself today, I understand how terrifying the earthquake is.

"Xiajia Village is pretty good, and many houses have been reinforced, but in other places, it's just..."

Dongfang Yu just opened his mouth. After hearing Xia Beibei's words, the words in his mouth were stuck in his throat again.

Looking at the scene in front of him, it was hard for him to imagine, could there be a worse place than this?

The people were dying, injured, and their cries could shock the heavens and the gods. Except for Xia Zhai, everywhere else was damaged to a greater or lesser extent.

"The people who suffer the most are the people." This was all he could say.

"Yeah." The biggest headache is probably Wuyu.

She just hid this sentence in her heart and did not say it out loud.

"Wu Qi, please contact Wu Lu and Wu Feng immediately and prepare all the rice and grain for emergencies." She immediately ordered Wu Qi beside her.

"Yes, Miss Jiu." Wu Qi responded and was about to pass the flying pigeon.

"Wait a minute." Xia Beibei called Wu Qi again.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Wu Qi again, "Let Wu Lu strictly instruct all rice shops. Without my order, not a single grain of rice is allowed to be sold!"

"This... Miss Jiu, what do you mean?" Wu Qi was full of questions.

Miss Jiu doesn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

"Whatever Bei'er says is whatever it is, you go and do it immediately." Dongfang Yucai said immediately without giving Wu Qi time to hesitate.

"Yes, sir, I will leave immediately." Wu Qi said nothing more and turned to leave.

"Belle, what do you want to do?" Dongfang Yu asked her after Wu Qi left.

Does Belle really want to raise the price? This was not the Belle she knew.

"Wu Ba, you immediately send a message to Princess Jing. No medicine shops or clothing shops in Xuedu, Jiancheng, and Liucheng are allowed to sell goods at will." Xia Beibei ordered Wu Ba.

"Miss Jiu, what should I tell Prince Jing and Princess Jing?" Wu Ba was even more embarrassed, his expression turned completely bad.

Whatever Miss Ninth wants to do, she can do it herself. Why does she need to involve Prince Jing’s concubine? What should he say in the letter?

"Just write what I say, Wei Zui will understand." Xia Beibei said.

"This... Master..." Wu Ba looked at Dongfang Yu.

"Go and do it." Dongfang Yu waved to him.

"Yes, Master." Wu Ba could only respond.

"Belle..." After Wu Ba also left, Dongfang Yu couldn't help it anymore and wanted to ask Xia Beibei what she was thinking and what she wanted to do.

"Dongfang, haven't you always wanted to find a good way to control the emperor? Isn't this right?" Before Dongfang Yu could ask, Xia Beibei interrupted him coldly.

Hearing this, Dongfang Yu was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he nodded.

"Yes, this is a good excuse, but...it is the people who suffer."

"In the year of natural disaster, the people have nothing to rely on. Since we can bring benefits to them, how can we not think about ourselves? If we do too many good things, it will become a matter of course. It doesn't matter to anyone. "

Xia Beibei said.

Once she rescued someone in distress, the emperor would feel that she deserved to be taken advantage of. Instead of making the emperor feel that he could be bullied, it would be better to make the emperor feel that he was formidable, coupled with the territory's influence and the power of Tianyuan Mansion.

She wanted to see what the emperor would do if he wanted to take such great power.

"Do you want the emperor to become passive?" Dongfang Yu asked.

This is not a good idea.

"Dongfang, when things here are settled, you can return to Tucheng." Xia Beibei said.

"What? I'm going back to Tucheng, this..." Dongfang Yu screamed.

If he returns to Tucheng, should Belle handle it alone? This won't work.

"Dongfang, why don't you understand that the natural disaster in Fantasy Kingdom is a manifestation of civil strife." Xia Beibei reminded him.

"Hiss... you mean..." Dongfang Yu rolled his dark eyes and gasped.

Whenever there is civil strife, there will always be some external troubles, and the enemy will be ready to take action. This is not a good sign.

"With internal strife and foreign invasion, you can definitely encourage the princes of the three palaces and one to ask for pay from the emperor to settle the borders." Xia Beibei said with a slight hook in her red lips.

"This...you are just a ghost!" Dongfang Yu tapped her forehead angrily.

He, Beitang Shaoting, and Ximen Mu Ge are all very close friends, so this is naturally not a problem.

This time, he wanted to see if the emperor could spend so much silver in one go to deal with them.

"But, won't this embarrass Wuyu?" he asked.

"Of course... no." Xia Beibei raised her eyebrows at him.

Wuyu is not a fool. How can he not know how to tell the emperor about this matter?

When the time comes, Wuyu will find out that the emperor intends to seize the military power of the three palaces, one wilderness and four kings. The emperor will be recorded a big mistake for this matter.

"Belle, if this happens, the emperor's position may become unstable." Dongfang Yu shook his head, feeling that this was not a good idea.

"We'll talk about it later." Xia Beibei snorted.

She doesn't care who sits in the emperor's seat and does what. The emperor's seat is occupied by those who are capable.

What is the use of such an emperor who, under the instigation of a fool, wants his country to be invaded by foreign enemies in the midst of internal strife instead of wanting to do it? After Wuyu leaves in the future, what use can he make? What's the deal?

…

"That's not right, Belle, wouldn't that be..." Dongfang Yu's face suddenly turned green as he was about to mount his horse.

He threw the horse's rein into Wu Shisan's hands and turned to look at Xia Beibei who was standing aside to see him off.

From the earthquake the night before yesterday to Xia Beibei's suggestion that he go back and reorganize his troops, he always felt that something was wrong.

It wasn't until this moment that he remembered what was wrong.

"What?" Xia Beibei looked at him and blinked.

Did this guy think of something again and his expression became so bad?

"Then our marriage...has to be postponed?!" Dongfang Yu asked with a pair of dark eyes.

With such a big earthquake happening now, it would be impossible for the disaster-stricken areas of Tianyuan Mansion, let alone Xuedu County, to be rebuilt so quickly within a few months.

Then their marriage will have to be postponed, right?

Xia Beibei: "..."

As expected, this guy was talking about this, and she knew it.

"Dongfang, I am all yours. Wouldn't it be better for us to talk about getting married after this matter comes to an end?"

By then, the emperor's attempt to seize military power will be over, and everyone will no longer have any burden in their hearts. How wonderful.
