When Meng Qing heard Chen Mu say this, she burst out laughing, nodded and responded.

"Having said that, I always feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in a particularly good mood for the past two days, has something good happened?"

Meng Qing stepped forward with some curiosity, Chen Mu smiled when he saw Meng Qing like this, he nodded Meng Qing's little nose, and then spoke.

"It's a good thing, our treasury has become rich in the past two days, and the construction of trade roads has gone more smoothly, of course I am happy."

Seeing Chen Mu say this, Meng Qing nodded clearly, he had also heard about Chen Mu copying the homes of many traitors in the past two days, he couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and grabbed Chen Mu's arm, and then spoke.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are extremely intelligent, and it is really surprising that you can come up with such a method to fill the treasury."

When Chen Mu heard Meng Qing say this, he shook his head and sighed helplessly, he always felt that Meng Qing's words didn't seem like praising him, but rather mocking him.

"Those officials have taken advantage of the people, and now I have used the money I have received from them for the benefit of the people, and I have used it properly."

Hearing the other party say this, Meng Qing nodded with a smile, and said in response, and just as they were about to say something, they both heard a rush of footsteps outside the main hall.

Chen Mu frowned and glanced out of the hall, and the eager voices of his subordinates sounded outside the door.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the big thing is not good, Windy City and Los Angeles have appeared...... There is a disaster! ”

Hearing this, Chen Mu was stunned, he frowned, waved his hand, and asked people to put the men who came to report into the hall.

The subordinate rushed into the temple, fell to his knees with a thud, and explained what he had just learned.

"For the past two days, it has been raining heavily in Windy City and Los Angeles, and because most of them are rugged mountains, after this rain started, a lot of mud and sand rolled down from the mountains, and even flooded the people's villages."

"Now even the city is flooded with mud and sand, and there are many people trapped in their houses, and when they sent me the news, it was yesterday, and now...... The situation may be even worse now! ”

When Chen Mu heard him say this, he stood up suddenly, isn't this a mudslide and a landslide?

"Send someone to deliver the news immediately and investigate carefully."

Chen Mu's eyes sank, so ordered, his subordinates heard this, and hurriedly retreated, Meng Qing looked in the direction of Chen Mu worriedly, Chen Mu saw this, took a deep breath, shook his head quietly, and then spoke.

"Wait for the news first, those two towns are quite far away from the capital, if the disaster is really serious."

Then he had to go and see for himself, if there were mudslides and landslides, people were trapped in houses, there would be no way to live, and if the corpses were not disposed of, there would be a plague.

It may even cause other minor disasters, Chen Mu thought about it, he looked up in the direction of Meng Qing, and spoke.

"You go back first, let me think about how this matter should be handled."

Seeing Chen Mu say this, Meng Qing also nodded, and said in response, she left worriedly, Chen Mu waited patiently in the room for a while, and news was sent one after another.

The number of towns and villages affected by those two cities was not small, and several towns and towns around those two cities were also affected, not to mention villages.

Due to the difficult terrain, most of those villages were built at the foot of the mountain, and the heavy rain baptized the rocks of the mountain and carried them down, flooding those villages, and even some villages, the entire village was covered with mud and sand.

This news was sent to the capital, not only Chen Mu knew, but also the people of the big families in the capital, but also the well-informed people also learned of the news, and when Chen Mu was about to start handling this matter.

There is also a rumor spreading in Beijing, which seems to be someone with a heart to suppress Chen Mu's reputation through this incident.

"Have you heard of a statement, some people say that it is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued decrees one after another in recent times, changing too many rules set by the ancestors, which makes the ancestors of Great Xia dissatisfied."

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continues like this, then ...... Not to mention those two cities, maybe even our peaceful and stable capital is easy to ......."

"Ouch, where did you hear this, shut up, don't continue to spread it, if you let the adults in the capital or His Royal Highness the Prince's henchmen hear it, then I'm afraid your little life will not be saved."

One of the people glanced at the one who had just spoken, and shook his head silently, and the man pursed his lips when he saw this, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this rumor, you can see the decree issued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently, either changing this rule, or changing that habit, and even the way of life of textile craftsmen has been blocked by the so-called textile equipment."

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been building some trade routes recently...... Ready to beat all the cities? What's the use of fixing this thing, you say? ”

"If there are bandits or rebels in the border city who intend to attack the capital directly through that trade route, then once this trade route is opened, won't it leave an opportunity for those people to act?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately looked at the people frantically, so that he should not continue to speak, and several children of the family sitting in the teahouse also frowned when they heard the people say this.

One of them thought about it for a moment, simply stood up, went back to his house, and told his elders what the people thought.

The young man's elder was also an official in the court, and after hearing about this incident, he immediately reported it to Chen Muyu, wanting Chen Mu to retract the decree to open up the trade route.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no need to open some trade routes at all, the cities they connect are originally dangerous cities, and those cities are natural barriers, which can resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and those bandits directly attack the capital."

"If you send someone to open up this trade route, it seems that it is indeed convenient for merchants to walk between the city and the city, but this is indeed an opportunity for those with bad intentions, if someone really ......."

"If there are really people with ill intentions to attack the capital and the Great Xia Dynasty, even if this trade route has not been opened, they will not be able to stop them from attacking us."

"Do you think these trade routes were an important reason for their rebellion?"

Chen Mu sneered and looked at the minister expressionlessly, and the minister shuddered violently when he heard Chen Mu say this.

He raised his head to meet Chen Mu, looked at it, and realized that Chen Mu was dissatisfied, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I am also for your good, for the sake of our Great Xia, you have to think about this matter, what I said is also the worry of the people in Beijing!"
