Hell, run away, the little milk baby is coming to the underworld again.

Chapter 1274 Weighing

"Dad, what happened? Why are you calling me back so urgently?"

Xiao Yanbao had just expanded his spiritual sense and looked around the entire palace, but did not find anything unusual inside the palace.

There shouldn’t be any accident in the palace.

She was originally worried that the white-haired woman knew her background and came to the palace.

Now it seems not.

It would be better if it wasn't that white-haired woman.

Little Yanbao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Lan Qian picked up his precious daughter.

He did not answer Xiao Yanbao's question and sat back on the dragon throne.

But little Yanbao noticed the sad look on his father's face, and that almost half of his hair had turned white.

Although Emperor Lan Qian's mood has improved a lot since little Yan Bao returned, the matter this time is really too serious.

Especially when the matter had reached the point where it could no longer be concealed, it reached his ears.

He was not only worried, but also angry.

Before little Yanbao came back, Emperor Lan Qian had already put the Minister of Works in jail.

But now is not the time to investigate this matter.

Someone needs to deal with this mess.

All the civil and military officials in the court were trembling with fear. When they saw the little princess coming back, some of them felt relieved, at least they would not be implicated innocently; others became even more afraid.

I'm afraid this matter won't be so easy to get away with.

[Master, something big has happened. This time it is really a big deal. ]

Although Emperor Lan Qian had not yet said what had happened, Da Huang had already heard the thoughts of the court officials.

[Most areas in the south and north of Lan Country were hit by floods. The disaster was very serious, and countless people were killed or injured. Many refugees flocked to the capital.]

Emperor Lan Qian: This is a disaster that has not happened in a hundred years since the founding of the Lan Kingdom.

Although floods or droughts occur in different places every year, they are never so severe in all places. Even if the treasury is empty, people can tear down the east wall to repair the west wall. However, this disaster has left the country of Lan with no walls to tear down.

Originally, there was a bumper harvest in both the north and south of Lan Kingdom this year, and the autumn harvest would be in another month. However, a devastating blow occurred at this time, and almost the entire Lan Kingdom was harvestless.

Not to mention collecting taxes, even if they didn't collect taxes, all the grain in the Lan State's treasury would not be enough to provide relief to the victims.

Not to mention that the food in the national treasury is reserved for military pay at the border.

If the military pay at the border is cut off and the soldiers' morale is low, who will guard the border?

After Yan Bao returned to the palace, the situation in Lan Kingdom became better and better, and the lives of the people changed greatly.

In another three to five years, Emperor Lan Qian is confident that the people of Lan will have enough food and drink to live a life without worries, and then he can safely hand over the throne and become the emperor emeritus.

But this natural disaster ended everything.

Since Xiao Yanbao and the others were teleported back by the clown bird, they had no idea about the current situation outside Lan Country.

I was really shocked to hear what Dahuang said.

How come floods suddenly occurred in most parts of Lan Country?

"Dad, you came back so anxiously, is it because of the flood?"

"Yes." Emperor Lan Qian's voice was low.

"Have the court officials discussed a solution to the disaster and sent people to help?"

It would have been better if Xiao Yanbao didn't ask, but this question made Emperor Lan Qian even angrier.

The ministers who usually made memorials for the emperor remained silent this time.

When asked if they had any good disaster relief ideas, they didn't even say a word.

We have been thinking of a solution in this hall for two hours, but no one can come up with a good solution.

Little Yanbao glanced down the hall, but didn't see his brother or uncle.

It was the message her brother gave her.

"Daddy, where's my brother?"

"Ze Yan and your uncle have already led a hundred elite soldiers of the Imperial Guard to the worst-hit area to provide relief."

Xiao Yanbao: If most areas of Lan Country were affected by the disaster, how many people could be saved by a hundred people?

Xiao Yanbao was not worried about his brother's safety. After all, he had given his brother a lot of talismans when he returned to the palace.

I have been practicing for the past month and have not drawn any talismans, so there are not many talismans left in my Ruyi bag.

She immediately called her old disciple over, "Zixu, take Qiao Mu and quickly draw some more water control talismans."

The water-controlling talisman can protect the lives of disaster relief workers and civilians during disaster relief.

"Dad, can you send me an army so I can lead them to help with the disaster relief?"

In fact, Emperor Lan Qian did not want his beloved daughter to go to the disaster relief personally. As long as his beloved daughter could provide enough food for emergency response and then help with post-disaster reconstruction, it would be enough.

"Yan Bao, why don't you ask the ministers below to take some people there, and take out some of the food in your Ruyi bag to help the victims."

As soon as Emperor Lan Qian finished speaking, the ministers below lowered their heads to reduce their presence, fearing that the emperor would call their names.

No one wants to do the hard work of disaster relief.

After living a life of luxury for too long, who would be willing to endure such hardship?

Besides, it’s not just suffering. The flood is so severe that we don’t know if we can come back alive.

[Master, I see that your useless father has raised a bunch of useless ministers. Those ministers are so anxious that they want to stick their heads into their crotches, fearing that they will be called to help with disaster relief.]

Emperor Lan Qian's face turned blue and white due to Da Huang's scolding.

Looking at the court officials below, he became even angrier.

He cursed angrily, "A bunch of useless things."

It seems that the imperial examination to select talents has to be done as soon as possible.

However, after this flood, the imperial examination could not be postponed any further.

Xiao Yanbao also glanced at the courtiers of His Highness.

Look at them, they are all bloated with food. How can we expect them to provide disaster relief?

It won’t be known who will save whom by then.

"Dad, I have a pet, a stone dragon, a flying cloud, and a life-saving talisman, so it's perfect for me to go to the disaster relief. As for the food, don't worry, Dad. I promise that no one will starve to death because of this flood."

When the ministers heard what Xiao Yanbao said, they all knelt down and said, "On behalf of all the people of Lan Country, we kneel down to thank the little princess for saving our lives."

Emperor Lan Qian picked up the inkstone on the imperial desk and smashed it down.

But he didn't hit anyone.

However, the broken inkstone still fell on the kneeling ministers, and one minister's forehead was bleeding from the broken pieces of the inkstone.

"Yan Bao, father will go with you to provide disaster relief, and send them to various places to provide disaster relief as well."

Xiao Yanbao thought it would be a good idea to let his father go and take a look. At least with the protective amulet, his father would not be in danger.

The main reason is that my father has gone to help with disaster relief, and these ministers can’t hide away even if they want to.

Little Yanbao whispered a few words into his father's ear.

A smile appeared on Emperor Lan Qian's face.

This method is good.

"Come here, bring the scales to the main hall and measure the weights of the gentlemen."
