After a while, the emperor saw that Wei Mingfeng was still stunned and refused to leave, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Wei Mingfeng said: "Are the Emperor and Imperial Physician Mei still worried about the disaster and the affairs of the Western Regions?"
She seemed to have heard something from Princess Mingyu. The severe drought in the Northern Dynasties caused the crops in the fields of the people to dry up. The Northern Dynasty's frontier fortress was harassed by people from the Western Regions. With the emperor's temperament, this battle must be fought.
However, there was a severe drought in the Northern Dynasties and it was not suitable to send troops, so the emperor had been very sad recently, mainly because he had no money.
Wei Mingfeng doesn't know about war, but she understands the truth that no matter which dynasty or generation of people are in power, they should put the people first in order to survive.
She remembered that similar disaster relief events often occurred in China's history, and added: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. There will always be a way."
In fact, she wanted to say that maybe she could ask Wan Ling for help and the Northern Dynasty would be able to overcome this difficulty. However, she did not dare to say it explicitly because she was afraid of boasting to Haikou and fearing that Wan Ling would not want to and it would be a sin to cause estrangement between the two countries.
The emperor smiled, this girl always had good words to say and could comfort people.
Suddenly, the emperor was deliberately worried and said: "Because of these two things, I can't sleep at night and can't eat. The governors of various places have written letters to report the disaster in various places. The crops in the fields have died of drought, and I can't produce food." Come, the people will suffer the most. Without food, they will starve to death. It will be even harder if the Western Regions come again."
Wei Mingfeng did not doubt the emperor's words at all, because there was no hybrid rice in ancient times. Even if there were no natural disasters, there would not be enough food to eat, let alone the disaster being so serious.
Wei Mingfeng suddenly asked: "Can the food problem be solved as long as there is money? How much money and food are needed? Your Majesty should have a specific number here, right?"
At this point, the emperor's expression dimmed again. Mei Zongzheng was also an honest man. He didn't charge for consultations with poor people, and he didn't have any money.
Suddenly, both of them sighed slightly at the same time. Mei Zongzheng said: "The amount is staggering. It cannot be solved with just money. There is no water for the crops and no water for the people."
Maybe Wei Mingfeng is already his daughter-in-law, and Mei Zongzheng told her everything without reservation...
Wei Mingfeng saw that the two of them were suffering more than the other, and continued: "It is the hot summer, and God will not rain. There is nothing we can do about God. This is a force majeure natural disaster, but I believe that man can conquer nature, and there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome."
"As for the Western Region's harassment of our border with the Northern Dynasty, they are not harassing me for no reason. They must have seen the difficulties in the Northern Dynasty and want to take advantage of the crisis to make the Northern Dynasty worse." There was a stern look in her eyes: "A villain like this, He should be beaten until he can't find his parents to satisfy his hatred."
She knew that she was talking empty words, and her comfort seemed feeble. The most important thing now was that the court allocated food for disaster relief as soon as possible and came up with a solution.
Mei Zongzheng said: "Even though the emperor is brave and good at fighting, and he has a great army and generals, it is hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Once this war breaks out, it will be the people of the Northern Dynasty who will suffer, so the emperor is in trouble whether to fight or not."
"The government is already arranging for people in severely affected areas to evacuate to places with water sources, and food will be distributed by the court."
"It is true that there is a shortage of money. The purpose of using the money is to buy military pay. The first task is to solve the food and clothing problem of the soldiers and the people. The current situation is still no food."
Nangong Youming and Mei Zongzheng actually knew that what she said was not wrong at all. This little girl lived in the deep palace and could actually distinguish the situation.
Putting all the questions in front of her, I also wanted to test her reaction.
