After rebirth, I ran wild in the heart of His Highness the Prince

Chapter 229 Backfires

Qin Zhongwan didn't want to get involved in the royal battle. Seizing the heir was like a general's success and the death of thousands of bones. Whether she could save herself in it was unknown.

Will what I saw in the dream really happen in the future?There's no way to argue.

"It's just a dream." Qin Zhongwan comforted himself, but his words were extremely pale and weak at the moment.

She wrinkled the quilt with her slender hands. She closed her eyes, and the dream scene appeared in front of her eyes again.

The flood seemed to be overwhelming. Bodies soaked in water and swollen were everywhere. Cries and calls for help were intertwined.

She took a breath. Whether it was true or not, Qin Zhongwan only had one thought left. She couldn't be so cruel and indifferent to the flood victims, and she didn't want to see Gu Siyuan die tragically after being betrayed by his men.

After the nightmare, he couldn't sleep well all night. Qin Zhongwan thought about it all night and made a decision.

Gu Siyi is hypocritical and not a wise candidate. If she does nothing, maybe the reality will be the same as what happened in the dream.

Gu Siyuan was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was no bad news yet, which happened to coincide with the beginning of the dream.

May is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. The locals have long been accustomed to continuous rain. After all, it happens every year. No one expected that the continuous rainfall would cause landslides. The river embankments could not block the sediment. The villages at the foot of the mountains were unprepared. A landslide occurred during the night, and most of the people were buried under the mud.

One wave came after another, and Gu Siyuan had just settled the victims at the foot of the mountain. The embankment leaked and floods poured down, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Gu Siyuan cared about the people and personally led the rescuers and provided disaster relief, but he was weak on his own. Local officials colluded with the gentry and wealthy businessmen, adding fuel to the fire when disaster relief was supposed to be provided.

The rich land in the south of the Yangtze River is rich in grain. When natural disasters strike, all the originally good rice is destroyed, and the grain stored in the warehouse can only be used.

However, the wealthy businessmen and gentry drove up the price of grain, but the officials turned a blind eye. Although Gu Siyuan was the prince, they were local snakes who had been around for many years. For a time, they checked and balanced each other.

When Qin Zhongwan thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh, pity the innocent people who died tragically. They died in floods due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, but they were forced to death by famine by those evil people who were neither humans nor ghosts.

And that group of people, relying on the lack of food in the national treasury and the lack of money in the government to provide disaster relief, desperately squeezed the people. They made a lot of money, but caused the people to become homeless. All their worth was not enough to buy a bucket of rice.

"It should be too late now." Qin Zhongwan said to himself.

She vaguely remembered that a flood occurred in her previous life, in late May, but it had been rainy and dark for the past few days, paving the way for the natural disasters that would follow.

Before Gu Siyuan left, Qin Zhongwan had warned him a lot. I wonder if he listened or not. Maybe things would turn around.

"Mommy." Qin Zhongwan had not slept all night, her eyes were slightly green and black, but she was in good spirits. She stood up and called out to Nanny Lan who was waiting outside the door.

"What is the second lady's order?"

"I just remembered that it has been a long time since I visited my sister-in-law. I went to see Mrs. Zhang. She has weak bones. The anti-fetal medicine prescribed a few days ago was too strong. I went to deliver a post to the Wang family today. I will come to see her in person. Look."

"Yes."

The medical consultation was real, but Qin Zhong's visit at night was not just for medical consultation.

"Don't worry, ma'am. The baby in your belly is fine. I've written a new prescription. I'll follow this prescription for half a month in the future."

"it is good."

Qin Zhongwan put down the paper and pen in her hand, Fang Zi's ink was still wet, her eyes moved slightly, "Madam, is your Mr. Wang here?"

Zhang Yu knew the inside story. When he heard this, he was stunned, and then sent the servants away, "What are the orders from the second lady?"

There was no one around, so Zhang Yu spoke with peace of mind.

"I can't talk about orders. I just have something to ask Mr. Wang."

Since Chu Mingchen was exiled to Yazhou and Wang Xie escaped unscathed, he had already seen Qin Zhongwan's ability early. He was very lucky that he was on the right side.

"Second Miss, wait a moment, I'll call him over right away."

Not long after, Wang Xie entered the door, with a respectful look on his face, "What are your orders, Miss Second?"

"I have something that I need you to do personally."

……

"Collect food?" Wang Xie was puzzled. In today's peaceful and prosperous era, there are no wars or natural disasters, so why do we need to collect food?

However, he was smart enough not to ask any more questions, and simply stated that he understood.

Qin Zhongwan warned a few more words, "The more grain you harvest, the better. I know there is also a village near Wang's house. You can send your servants to nearby villages to purchase. Money is not a problem."

The several shops she owns are very popular among the noble ladies in the capital, and their business is very good. Over the past few months, she has also saved some private money.

"I understand. Don't worry, Second Miss. I will definitely handle this matter properly."

"Act in secret, don't let any news out."

If anyone knew that she was collecting grain, there would be another trouble. Qin Zhongwan thought about it and asked Wang Xie to be more careful.

After the arrangements were made, she handed over the prescription and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A wave of people quietly collected grain from various grain stores and farmers in Kyoto. They bought it in batches, and there were many people. The small-scale grain collection did not cause any disturbance.
