"From now on, you will come to Luoyun Xuan in the main palace to be on duty, and you can rest assured that I will not treat you harshly."

"The slave and maid thanked the concubine Niangniang!"

"Hire'er, Xiaoyuan will be taught by you in the future, and when I go back, I will take her to familiarize herself with Luoyunxuan."

"Hire and obey."

Maybe it was because she failed to fulfill Xia Yahan's last wish, so when she saw this palace maid who looked similar to Mo'er, she felt compassion.

After Xia Yahan's death, the days of dissipation in the palace resumed, and the people in the palace were still busy and busy, and they had nothing to do. However, the people in this world have encountered a hardship, and it should have been the time of the autumn harvest, but they found that there was a great drought in some areas this year. Since the beginning of summer, there has not been a single rain, and the crops that should have been harvested have been greatly reduced and withered, and in the most serious cases, they have not been harvested.

"What's going on with them, they actually joined forces to suppress this matter, if it weren't for the fact that the victims were almost in the capital, I would still be kept in the dark!"

In the imperial study, Lu Zhixing had a gloomy face and threw the fold in his hand on the bookcase. He had not made such a big mistake in his many years on the throne, and it had been so long since summer that the victims did not know how many had died.

"Your Majesty should not be angry, the top priority now is to solve the problem of famine among the victims as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to shake the foundation of the country."

Changge's rare seriousness is tightening, and the current situation is indeed something that he has never faced before. If the disaster had been discovered in the first place, it would not have evolved into what it is today.

"You first take some of your men and horses to investigate the place where the drought occurred, and then come back and report to me."

"Yes."

Jiang Wan accidentally learned about this and went to ask the chief manager. From the general manager's office, Jiang Wan knew the approximate disaster area.

"Fengzhou, isn't that the place under the jurisdiction of the Jiang family now?"

Jiang Wan heard the familiar place name and got the relevant information from the memory of the original owner. Fengzhou is the ancestral land of the original owner's family, and after the original owner was abolished, Lu Zhixing found a reason to send the Jiang family back to Fengzhou.

"For their sake, I'll help them."

Jiang Wan went to the imperial study, the chief manager was waiting outside, and when he saw Jiang Wan coming, he stepped forward to salute.

"I have something to see Your Majesty in this palace, and I hope the chief manager will report it."

The chief manager's face was a little tangled, but he still pushed the door open and walked in, and then came out to invite Jiang Wan in.

Lu Zhixing didn't think that Jiang Wan would come to the imperial study to find him at this time, but his originally anxious heart calmed down a little.

"Why are you here?"

"The concubine is here to solve problems for Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty can tell the concubine the details of the drought?"

Lu Zhixing didn't have any breakthrough now, so he thought it would be okay to tell Jiang Wan. The reason for this is that the lack of precipitation is the result of a decrease in the amount of water in the rivers. The people planted crops and irrigated them to keep up. Later, the water in reserve was not much, and every household had to keep it for life, so they stopped irrigating.

"Fengzhou City is also in the area where the disaster is severe, why hasn't anyone reported it?"

Jiang Wan still trusts the people of the Jiang family, and he doesn't believe that the people of the Jiang family will hide this matter, after all, it is not good for them.

"Your uncle had already reported the matter, but he was detained by the officials of the DPRK and China, and there was news that there had been a riot in those disaster areas, and your uncle should be too busy to take care of himself now."

Lu Zhixing pinched his eyebrows, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days because of this, and the bruises under his eyes were very obvious.

"Concubines have a way to deal with the next drought, but the most important thing now is disaster relief, opening warehouses and releasing grain."

Modern artificial rainfall will definitely not work, and the only way to save water is to change the irrigation method. Ditches were dug to build dikes and dams to change the original flow of the river.

"My biggest headache now is disaster relief, although the treasury has enough money, but it can't be used for disaster relief, but also in case of war needs."

"But if we do this, there will definitely be a large number of victims who will not be rescued and will die tragically from this natural disaster."

"Why doesn't Your Majesty expropriate money from the courtiers?"

"I can't expropriate, although I am the Son of Heaven, but Wei has not been an imperial dictatorship for a long time, and if I move the fat in their mouths, they will shake the foundation of Wei."

Jiang Wan then understood that in the Wei State, there was the corresponding power in the hands of high-ranking officials, although there would not be much threat to Lu Zhixing, but if they were united, it would be a little difficult for him to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, when the concubine goes back to think about this matter, I will give Your Majesty an answer tomorrow."

After saying that, Jiang Wan said goodbye and left, Lu Zhixing looked at her leaving, and his heart seemed to be lit with hope.

"Perhaps, she will really be the opportunity this time."

After Jiang Wan went back, he pondered and searched through all the relevant knowledge he had learned and been in contact with. Let's see if there is one that can help you go to land to solve the crisis at hand.

"Master, it's time to rest so late."

Ping'er came over and closed the window for Jiang Wan, who had been thinking about it in the house for an afternoon and a night. Jiang Wan was still frowning, she should know.

"I think it should work."

Jiang Wan suddenly stood up and quickly pushed open the door and walked out, leaving Ping'er in place with a stunned expression, not knowing what was going on. Jiang Wan went straight to the imperial study, the light in the imperial study was still on, and Lu Zhixing had not returned to the Taiji Hall to rest.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has thought of a way to deal with it."

"Tell me about it."

Lu Zhixing, who hadn't closed his eyes for three days and was dozing off, was startled by Jiang Wan, but quickly calmed down.

"Your Majesty can promote a kind of state bond, that is, the state borrows money from the people, and then shows the bills to the people."

Jiang Wan suddenly remembered that a trade method of her former country was suitable for the Wei State in front of her.

"All the people can buy government bonds, but there must also be a hierarchy, for example, the richer the family, the more they can buy."

"When the treasury has enough money, it will slowly collect the repatriation bonds from the people, and pay the people a certain amount of interest in addition to the principal."

"There is a fixed number of state bonds, and the state will not issue state bonds unless there is a disaster or war."

Jiang Wan told Lu Zhixing all the ideas about the national bonds, and Lu Zhixing was very surprised after understanding the meaning. Jiang Wan's method has no predecessors and no one since, and it is the best way for the current Wei State.

"You're so smart, I didn't think of such a way."

"Those businessmen and officials who have large amounts of wealth in their hands must want to expand their money in a legitimate and stable way, and treasury bonds are the best choice for them."

Jiang Wan was still expanding the relevant information of the national bonds, and her eyes flashed with confidence, which made Lu Zhixing unable to take his eyes off. Lu Zhixing never thought that the once weak woman could be as bright as a star.

"Okay, I'll give the order, make a national bond, and tell it out."

"Hmm."

The speed of the people in the palace is really not comparable to others, and the special engraving department in the palace has rushed out tens of thousands of national bonds of different denominations within five days.

Jiang Wan was also surprised when he saw those finished products, the denomination, the time and year of issuance, and the appreciation rate were printed on the bonds, as well as the unforgeable seal for the royal family. Lu Zhixing walked over at this time and stood still beside Jiang Wan.

"The demand for treasury bonds is very high, and we are waiting for these treasury bonds to be issued."

"Well, Your Majesty wants to send more soldiers to maintain order on the scene, and whoever buys how much must be registered in detail."

"I know, thanks to you this time."

"Where is Your Majesty, as Your Majesty's concubine, you should share your Majesty's worries."

Jiang Wan smiled, this is helping Lu Zhixing, helping the Jiang family, helping the people, and even more helping herself. After this disaster is resolved, she will definitely get further promotions, and she will be one step closer to bringing down Lin Yao.

As soon as the national bonds came out, high-ranking officials and businessmen and ordinary people all rushed to buy the national bonds. All the bonds were sold out in two days.

The total amount of silver taels in the treasury reached an unprecedented peak, and Lu Zhixing couldn't help but smile when he looked at the number on the booklet and the money that was pulled back to the palace one after another.

"Why is Your Majesty smiling so happily?"

"Look, these silver legs have been relieved."

Jiang Wan naturally knew that the amount of the national bond was originally set by her. But she made another suggestion to Lu Zhixing very unkindly. Jiang Wan proposed to collect all the gold and silver treasures of each palace in proportion, leaving only a part.

Whichever house has less treasure will receive less, and conversely, whoever has more treasure will receive more. Jiang Wan was targeting Lin Yao's Imperial Concubine Palace, and the objects in it were enough to feed an entire town.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, come here, spread my will, and collect the jewels of each palace according to the share."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Would you like to go with me to the disaster relief?" Lu Zhixing asked suddenly.

"I can't ask for it."

Jiang Wan and Lu Zhixing left the palace in micro-suits, commanding the palace people to exchange the silver taels for the corresponding grain, and set up disaster relief points in various places in the suburbs. Special soldiers were also sent to escort the grain trucks to the disaster area. He also gave some silver taels to the victims whose homes were far away, so that they could return to their hometowns.

"Big sister, big brother, you guys are really the best and best people I've ever met!"

A few children with tattered clothes and gray faces looked at Lu Zhixing and Jiang Wan with the white porridge they had just called. Their big eyes flashed with a light called gratitude, which touched Jiang Wan very much.

"Big sister, there are a few pieces of dim sum here, you can share them, but you are not allowed to fight."

Jiang Wan untied the bag around her waist, and there were a few pieces of dim sum wrapped in oiled paper, which were put on her by Ping'er for fear that she would be hungry outside the palace.

"Thank you, big sister, big sister is so good-looking and so kind, she must be a fairy from the earth!"

The older boy at the head was very good at talking, and Jiang Wan smiled and rubbed his little head. Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Wan with a smile on his face, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's time for us to go."

"yes, okay."

In the carriage back to the palace, Lu Zhixing mentioned the matter. Many of the victims who came to the capital had lost their homes and did not want to return to their hometowns.
