My Koi Sister is Three and a Half Years Old

Chapter 333 Sui Sui Supervises the Country

 “This year’s harvest is not good again. Alas…”

“The snow has destroyed many houses, and no matter how full the treasury is, it is not an option to continue like this.”

 “How can the people survive?”

"I heard that Mobei and Beidi were fighting. Beidi was severely affected, and they robbed Mobei of food. The fight was fierce."

 It’s the New Year again, and this year there is no New Year feeling at all.

“Sheng Yuan sent an urgent report that there was a sudden heavy snowfall, which caused serious damage to various places. I want to ask Dai Viet to borrow food to survive this cold winter.” The prince looked at the memorial bitterly, with a bitter look on his face.

  Sheng Yuan and Dai Viet are friendly countries, but Dai Viet has also been having a hard time in recent years.

Today is Suisui's eleventh birthday. If it weren't for Lin's bowl of longevity noodles in the morning, she would almost not be able to remember it.

Fu Jiuxiao came back half a year ago. He was full of violence and it was obvious that there was a lot of blood on his hands.

 He said nothing, only handed the jade seal to Suisui in front of all the civil and military officials.

"All state affairs are decided by Sui Sui and the officials." Although the officials had objections, Fu Jiuxiao said that the Empress Dowager stayed in the imperial mausoleum all year round and refused to come back, so no one dared to disobey.

 Furthermore, the keys to the treasury are with her, and she is the richest man in Dai Viet, and the three armies still owe her promises. With her around, things will be much easier.

 “What’s going on this year? Spring, summer, autumn, and winter seem to be in chaos.”

“Yesterday, even the Huguo Temple retreated to the backyard, leaving the front yard to the people who came to seek refuge.”

“We cannot borrow food from Shengyuan. If you are a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist, what will happen to Dai Viet if we lend the food out?”

"Sheng Yuan can come to make good friends with Dayue. Now that the empress is the leader of the peace faction, we are at odds with Sheng Yuan." Yan Chuan said in a calm voice.

 Everyone sighed.

Beidi is very ambitious. Sheng Yuan is close to Vietnam and advocates peace. He is the best ally. Moreover, it is right next door to Dai Viet. If Sheng Yuan is in trouble, Dai Viet will also be attacked by a group of people.

“May I ask the little princess, how much food is left in the treasury?”

Suisui touched the key and after thinking for a moment, she had an idea in her mind: "About two hundred thousand."

“Last year alone, we spent 180,000 yuan on disaster relief.”

"We can only hold on for one more year at most! Last year's harvest was not good, so I'm afraid there won't be enough to put into storage!" Whether to borrow or not has become a big issue.

 If you don’t borrow it, Sheng Yuan will be blown apart sooner or later. The big Yue tree attracts the wind, and you will also face many wolves, tigers and leopards.

 It can be borrowed, but the food in Vietnam can only last for one year at most. What will happen if there is no food at that time?

 Everyone looked at Mr. Zhou.

Master Zhou sighed: "Borrow it. Save Sheng Yuan first, otherwise, you will soon face a more difficult battle." Once something happens to Sheng Yuan, how can Dai Viet survive alone? If we go to war in a big way, this small amount of food will be critical to the three armies.

Fu Jiuxiao is now stationed at the border, which has made Dai Viet peaceful.

 It's just that if Beidi swallows Mobei, it will only happen sooner or later when Vietnam fights.

 The courtiers deliberated throughout the morning and finally decided to borrow 50,000 yuan in grain.

  Dai Viet tightens its belt and can survive at least until the end of the year.

Suisui held the jade seal in his hand and stamped it. Sheng Yuan did not dare to let Dayue send the grain, so he personally sent elite soldiers to get it.

 Nowadays, countries are facing serious food shortages, and this amount of food is enough for people to take risks.

By the time this batch of grain is sent away, spring is about to begin.

What makes people feel sad is that almost after spring, the ice and snow still haven’t melted.

 Everyone’s heart feels like it’s hit rock bottom.

“Oh my God, what’s wrong with you? It’s been a year, a whole year of ice and snow, what’s going on?”

“What happened to torture us like this?”

"There is no harvest in the fields and countless houses have collapsed. How should we live? You want your life, take away the lives of us old women and leave the children behind. Let the children live." After Suisui left the palace, she stepped on On the thick ice, people were kneeling on both sides of the road.

 The temperature is so low now that people freeze to death almost every day.

The children all had frostbite on their faces and it hurt terribly when they moved.

Suisui pulled the cloak on her body. It was furry and extremely warm. He wears a red scarf around his neck.

Standing in the snow, she looks like a virgin under the Guanyin Seat.

 In the past two years, my ears have become streaky and I have lost a lot of weight.

 The baby fat on her face has faded away, and it has lost a bit of roundness. The face is as big as a palm and has a pair of shining eyes.

Like the brightest stars in the night sky.

There was a creak, and someone opened the door in the straw house in front of the door.

These straw huts were built temporarily for disaster relief after the beams of their homes were broken by the weight of snow.

The old lady was holding a cane and had a sad face and a hunched waist. Her eyes were cloudy and full of despair.

At this moment, when I saw Suisui, my eyes lit up.

“Is this the little princess? Little princess, do you want to eat sweet potatoes? It’s been a long time since I last saw you, and you’re already hungry and thin...”

“Last time I saw you, you had a round face and a double chin that looked cute. Then, we are still in good weather in Vietnam, and we have no shortage of food and clothing.”

 “Now, life is so difficult.”

The old lady tremblingly took out two small sweet potatoes from her arms.

　　It's about three fingers thick, and I'm afraid it won't be enough for food and clothing even after eating it.

 The skin of the sweet potato was a little burnt, and it was still warm in my arms.

Hands full of wrinkles tremblingly handed the sweet potato over: "You can eat it. If you eat it, you will grow taller. As an old woman, half of my feet are in the coffin. Eat two bites less to leave a way for the children to survive."

Suisui looked at the sweet potatoes in front of her, her eyes burning a little.

 In fact, the people living in the disaster shacks only had two sweet potatoes a day.

 One in the morning and one in the evening.

 The old lady didn’t eat a single bite of the day’s rations.

Suisui often goes in and out of the palace, and often appears on the front line of disaster relief. Almost all the people have seen her.

 He watched helplessly as her chin turned into a face as big as a palm.

Suisui took a deep breath: "Eat, grandma, you still have children and grandchildren to take care of at home. If you leave, what will happen to the children?"

 Inside the room, a child with dark eyes looked straight at the sweet potatoes and secretly swallowed his saliva.

Suisui pushed back gently but firmly.

The old lady choked slightly. It was cold now, and no one knew whether she would wake up after taking a nap.

Everyone’s food has become a life-saving thing.

Suisui checked the relief points inside and outside the capital. Everyone was huddled in the corner lifelessly, and her brows were almost tightened.

“Wangshan is rich in coal. Let Wangshan send the coal to various places in Dai Viet. Open two windows in each disaster shed, each with five kilograms of charcoal, and keep the fire open for a day.”

"A pot is provided in each disaster shelter. If there is a fire, boil more hot water. Soak your feet at night to prevent freezing."

The prince stood behind her and said, "The little princess is so kind." He turned around and gave the order.

　　"Open an IOU in the name of the royal family and make a profit. Remember to look back at the mountain."

 The prince paused but did not stop him.

 The coal abundant in Wangshan is not the silver charcoal needed by the royal family. It is the most ordinary ordinary charcoal, but people usually cut firewood for heating, and coal from Wangshan is not easy to sell.

 There is a lot of backlog in hand.

This is also the reason why Wangshan is always barren, and it is the trouble of holding resources but not being able to sell them.

Now is the time for emergency.
