The mecha on Zhu Qinghong's body faded away, revealing her delicate face. In troubled times, beauty is easily coveted, but if the beauty is so powerful that it is unattainable, it would be blasphemous to even look at her. Dressed in red, she is breathtakingly beautiful, unlike anyone else in the world.
Flying down on the city tower, Zhu Qinghong said lightly: "I'll leave the aftermath to you."
No one dared to respond.
Su Rui followed Zhu Qinghong down to the tower. Gao Chen invited all ministers to the imperial study to discuss state affairs.
Royal study room.
Su Rui was very excited: "Sister, when will I be as strong as you?"
"Want to become stronger?" Zhu Qinghong turned around, "Becoming strong is not easy. You have to endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear."
Su Rui spoke firmly: "I'm not afraid. As long as I can become stronger, it's worth losing half my life."
Zhu Qinghong nodded: "When the country's reconstruction is on the right track, you can come find me again. Once you come, there will be no turning back."
"I can't get what I asked for." Su Rui wanted to become stronger.
No, she had to get stronger.
She wants power and strength.
With a smile, Zhu Qinghong sat behind the desk.
Gao Chen led the ministers in to discuss reconstruction matters. How to allocate food, manpower and other aspects, and where things come from. Su Rui put forward suggestions and sent people to calculate the losses while releasing grain from the treasury to relieve the people.
Clearing rubble, disposing of bodies, and rebuilding homes all require people. Su Rui ordered all palace maids and servants to leave the palace to participate in the disaster relief, except for those on necessary duty.
Dai Qiyu took the order and sent several teams of guards out of the palace to maintain order to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
Seeing that Zhu Qinghong remained silent, the ministers decided to deal with the urgent matters first before talking about anything else.
After everyone left, Zhu Qinghong proposed to issue new copper coins. The same old trick is repeated, earning copper coins for working and exchanging copper coins for food. Su Rui immediately agreed and asked Gao Chen to handle it well.
Gold and silver are currency and do not change.
Common people don’t have that much gold, silver and jewelry.
What the common people use most is copper coins.
Changing dynasties often starts with copper coins. Old copper coins are either scrapped or recycled and recast.
Now is the time to issue new copper coins, which can spread among the people faster. The situation improved and all the copper coins were replaced.
It was getting dark, and the lanterns in the palace were lit, illuminating one side. Luxurious palace with bright lights. Even if you don't live there, you feel at ease just looking at the people.
The country has not abandoned them. I heard that the goddess lived in the palace and protected them all the time.
Gao Chen held a lantern and directed people to rescue. Some people were trapped under the rubble, and their life or death was uncertain.
Anyone who can move helps save people.
The porridge shed has been set up, and the imperial doctors are conducting consultations in several sheds nearby. The exchange system has not yet been implemented on this day, but it will start tomorrow.
After a bowl of hot porridge, many people relaxed. They couldn't help but cry as they looked at their destroyed home, thinking that everything would be fine.
The family is destroyed and people are gone.
They only had one night to grieve. At dawn, everyone will be involved in reconstruction work.
It was busy outside the palace, and there was no idle time inside the palace either.
Su Rui led people to inventory the granary, move out bags of grain and stack them.
How much food is eaten in a day, and how long can the food in the warehouse last? She thought of the cultivated land outside the city and would go to see the situation tomorrow.
Gather everything that can be harvested, and arrange for people to resow what cannot be harvested as soon as possible. Hopefully the grain in the granary will last until harvest time.
The night was quiet, and many people were busy until late at night. It was a lonely night, with many people crying and wondering how to survive.
But if you are alive, you should live hard.
Don't be afraid of loss, don't be afraid of pain.
After suffering, you still stand up and live.
The next day.
Su Rui washed up and left the palace early to inspect the land.
Most of the crops were destroyed, what would be left after the Wuyangyang demons passed through?
She immediately ordered people to clean up the soil and plant it immediately. Choose those with a short maturity period, as the top priority must be harvesting grain.
After being busy until noon, Su Rui went into the city to have a quick bowl of porridge and then went to explore the damage to the city wall.
Gao Chen brought a team of people to clean up the rubble.
"Princess, we can only mobilize so many people. Other places are also short of manpower. We haven't explored the mine yet."
"I'll go there in the afternoon." Su Rui smiled and waved, "Don't worry, sister will go with me."
Gao Chen nodded and felt relieved.
Everyone was busy. Su Rui went into the palace after taking a rough look at the situation and invited Zhu Qinghong to go to the mine together.
I've long wanted to go to the mines.
Zhu Qinghong summoned the flying car and transformed into a car form. She sat in the driver's seat: "Come on."
Su Rui got in the car nervously and felt around. Zhu Qinghong started the car, and the jets from the bottom of the car flew into the sky.
The speed of the car was quite fast, and Su Rui was very stable while sitting in it. Curious, she opened the car window and looked down, seeing a sight she had never seen before.
The city doesn't look big, and there are only a few people left.
The vastest land seemed to have an edge, and she could overlook everything.
There are mountains behind Yaocheng, which are rolling and rolling, and there are mines in the mountains. There is not much rain, the mountains are bare, and there is little green.
The mine is not very attractive to demons and has not been damaged much. Only certain special races of monsters like to eat minerals.
Zhu Qinghong drove the speeding car to land in the open space.
She got out of the car and looked around her surroundings. There were no monsters in the mountains. There is no water source nearby and the mountains and forests are dry, so it is normal for demons to avoid them. After thinking about this, she walked into the mine first. Su Rui reluctantly got out of the car and chased after her.
Just after the disaster, there was no one in the mine.
The further they walked in, the darker it became, which was a bit scary.
Su Rui followed closely, fearing that there were demons lurking in the darkness. Zhu Qinghong raised his hand and summoned a ball of light to illuminate the road.
[An unknown mineral, similar to iron ore, was detected. Extract samples and calculate possibilities...]
Similar to iron ore?
Zhu Qinghong picked up a piece of ore and observed it. The appearance is basically the same as iron ore, and the functions are expected to be similar.
"Sister, we mostly use this mine to forge weapons. However, our country's forging talents are limited and we cannot mass-produce it." Su Rui sighed, "In the past, we chose to trade with Haocheng. After the demon broke out, the transaction was difficult and the deal was discontinued."
"Haocheng?" Zhu Qinghong thought of the city to the north of Tianchong City, which is Haocheng. "Haocheng has many talents?"
"Yeah." Su Rui nodded, "Brother Huang told me before. Haocheng has talents in all aspects, but their abilities are never leaked. We trade with them in mines in exchange for a certain amount of finished products. The dagger I carry with me is exactly It was a product of Haocheng eight years ago."
After all these years, the dagger is still sharp, which shows that a lot of work went into forging it.
Lingxi Kingdom does not have such technology.
They thought about spending a lot of money to learn, but the Lord of Haocheng refused directly and refused to teach at all.
There is no other way but to exchange the ores for products.
They have no way of knowing how much the other party has profited. They don't even know what kind of losses they have suffered, and who made them incompetent.
"Haicheng, let's go take a look when we have time." Zhu Qinghong put down the ore, "I'll take some of the ore, is that okay?"
"No problem. Sister can take as much as she wants." Su Rui was very happy. It was her honor to help her sister.
"When the city is rebuilt, you order people to mine. The ore is of great use to me. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." Zhu Qinghong patted Su Rui on the shoulder.
With these mines, she can regain a certain amount of combat effectiveness. The mecha activation rate should reach 10%.
[Master, the calculation of unknown minerals has been completed. It is an unexplored iron ore that can be used to manufacture embedded mechas. 】
A string of data provided by Ono appeared in front of Zhu Qinghong. It is lighter and stronger than ordinary iron ore.
It should be the change in iron ore quality caused by the different worlds, but it is actually the iron ore in this world.
Can be used to make mechas. Good news.
[Harvest appropriate minerals and create embedded mechas. Estimated completion time is one month...】
Ono stretched out his robotic arm and moved the minerals into the space. The quantity can be as large as possible, and the leftovers may be used to make something else.
A month is not a long time.
Zhu Qinghong nodded and let Xiao Ye do as he pleased. After seeing the mine, they got on the speed car and returned the same way.
Night falls and a busy day passes.
Su Rui bit her chopsticks and stopped looking at Zhu Qinghong when she wanted to speak. She wanted to ride in the car again.
It’s fast and stable, and the scenery is pretty good.
Zhu Qinghong smiled, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
Are you worried about not being able to fly after being embedded in a mecha?
Zhu Qinghong was in charge, and the demons were destroyed as soon as they approached.
Ling Xiguo rested for a month, and the renovation of the house he lived in was completed.
There are smiles on the faces of the people, and they are no longer as depressed as before. The city walls are still being repaired and the main streets are bustling with activity.
Choose an auspicious day and Su Rui will ascend the throne.
All waste is waiting for improvement, and the enthronement ceremony has been simplified a lot.
She put on a dragon robe and sat on the throne, with a smile on her lips. The ministers below knelt down and shouted long live.
A lot can change in a month. Gao Chen discovered many talents and gave them official positions after reporting them.
Half of the officials currently serving in the court are newly discovered talents. Naturally, they did not deal with the old ministers, and both sides caused trouble for each other.
The old ministers are still evil and hope that Zhu Qinghong will leave soon. The emperor has no backer, so it's not them who has the final say.
How could Su Rui not know what they were thinking and warned coldly: "You'd better be calm and don't force me to kill the donkey."
Some people say they don’t dare, but they are still dissatisfied in their hearts. Su Rui ignored him and the current leaders of Xuanyuan City and Luo City entered the palace.
Two men knelt down and saluted.
One is calm and the other is indifferent.
They are the sons of the previous city lord. When the demon attacked the city, they killed their cowardly father and seized power.
They fought against the demon. One person could not do it, but ten people besieged a demon.
Don’t admit defeat, don’t back down.
Later, Zhu Qinghong came to relieve the danger of demons.
She took a deep look at the two of them: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and you are suitable to assist him."
Now that the priest is dead, there is no need for Wancheng and Luocheng to succumb to Haocheng anymore. With the power in hand, they have plans to establish their own business.
Zhu Qinghong smiled: "Why be short-sighted? Serving the emperor means serving me. You don't want to?"
At that time, Zhu Qinghong's eyes were filled with murderous intent. If they dare to say no, they will be killed on the spot.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero.
They bowed their heads and saluted.
However, just because they obey Zhu Qinghong does not mean they obey Su Rui. Foolish people are not worthy of their help.
Su Rui smiled, stepped down the steps and helped the two of them up, showing off her courtesy as a corporal.
"I love you, no courtesy." Su Rui, a kind-hearted person, rectified their names, "You two led the troops to fight against the demons, and they were extremely brave. The previous city lord was cowardly and deserved to be killed. You are the well-deserved city lord. There is no need to be polite between monarchs and ministers... …”
An arrow shot through the air from outside the palace and headed towards Su Rui. No. 2, who was standing beside the dragon chair with his head bowed, suddenly opened his eyes.
It suddenly appeared next to Su Rui and raised its hand to crush the arrow. Su Rui had a smile on her face and cold eyes.
