Chapter 98 Flood Follow-up
After the heavy rain, the sky suddenly turned blue and the air became especially fresh. The birds came out to breathe the fresh air.

Sheng Qingtang rarely got up early today, opened the window and breathed in the fresh air outside.

"Master, Chu Yue, Sheng Wu wants to see you."

Chu Yue and Sheng Wu came here to report on their results during this period.

During this period, because they had enough money, Chu Yue and Sheng Wu joined forces to allow shops to bloom in Lan County, Yunjiang County and the neighboring Jiangning County.

Sheng Qingtang nodded, "Let them come in." The weather was so nice in the morning, and she didn't want to stay in the house, so she sat down in the small garden.

Not far away, Shen Qingrui and Gu Yanli were sitting opposite each other. The master was analyzing strategies for his disciples.

After a while, Chu Yue, dressed in crescent white, came side by side with Sheng Wu, "Lord."

"Hurry up and sit down. Have you had breakfast?"

Chu Yue took seven or eight account books from the maid behind her and handed them to Sheng Qingtang, "Not yet. We just finished settling the accounts last night. It was really beyond our expectation. Many shops opened because of your idea, my lord." It started to pay back within a few days.”

"I have been doing business for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen a business that returns its capital back so quickly."

This is not because Chu Yue wants to flatter Sheng Qingtang, but it is the fact.

"Since we haven't eaten, let's eat something together here. Liuxu, you and Hongying will bring the breakfast over."

Although she lived not far away, Chu Yue had indeed been here many times, but this was the first time she ate here.

Chu Yue was a little surprised when she saw at least ten types of breakfast served.

"My lord, is this too much?"

Sheng Qingtang smiled sheepishly and said, "Not much. Since I have an extra baby in my belly, I can eat a lot now."

Chu Yue nodded. As long as it was not a luxury, she would not be a good minister to give advice.

"It is a blessing to be able to eat. When a child is in the mother's belly, everything it needs needs to be obtained from the mother. If my lord eats more, he may not be so tired."

Thinking of the child, Chu Yue quickly asked, "Has Master Wen Po been found?"

Sheng Qingtang shook his head, "Isn't it too early?"

She is still several months away from giving birth.

Chu Yue put down her chopsticks and looked at Sheng Qingtang's growing belly with some worry, "What's early? It's late. Master, when you find Po Wen, you don't just find one at random. You must choose several, and then Investigate them thoroughly to see how much experience they have, and if they need training, train them again."

"We can't wait until you are about to give birth and wait for them to cram into it!"

Seeing Sheng Qingtang's confused look, Chu Yue felt really uneasy. Although she had never given birth to a child, she was not the only woman in the Chu family. She had also seen other women give birth to children.

It's really a journey through hell.

"Lord, you really have to take this matter seriously. If something happens to you, it won't work no matter how good the conditions are."

This is probably one of the reasons why women cannot be rulers. After all, if an emperor dies in the delivery room after giving birth, wouldn't it mean that the courtiers are not even prepared?

If the successor is chosen in advance, the queen will be even more unsafe. The supporters behind the successor, and even herself, may want the queen to die.

There was another sentence that Chu Yue struggled with for a long time, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Seeing her lord eating so happily, she decided not to talk about it for the time being until she had finished her breakfast.Unexpectedly, after breakfast, Sheng Qingtang felt that the weather was good today and planned to go out to check out the shops in Yunjiang County.

Sheng Wu frowned and said, "Master, let's wait for a while. It's not very stable outside now."

Chu Yue also nodded, "Master, our county seat in Yunjiang County is located in a high location, so there is no flooding here. In fact, almost everything outside the city is flooded."

"Yunjiang County is relatively wealthy, and our Chu family is also a righteous businessman. The county magistrate organized many people to build thatched houses and sheds outside the city. The wealthy households in the city sat together to discuss it. Every day there are Several people went over to give porridge.”

"But that's just because people didn't starve to death but froze to death." Chu Yue sighed as she thought of what she had seen outside the city the day before yesterday.

Chu Yue didn't say anything else, but Sheng Qingtang also understood that no one died, but a large number of people gathered together again, and they had something to eat.

This man had nothing to do for a long time, so he started to do something.

The most common bad nature among people is that they feel that the food they eat outside is poor, the clothes they wear are uncomfortable, and it is inconvenient to wash up. In addition, there are more people and there will be more friction. They definitely want good living conditions.

Where are the good living conditions?
In the city!

We are all human beings, so why can these rich people live in the city and have good food and drink, but why are they living so hard outside?

"Let's go take a look together later."

If she wants to be the leader of all people, she must have the courage to face all unknowns and dangers.

"My lord, this is too dangerous. As the saying goes, a son with a lot of money cannot sit down in court. What's more, you are still pregnant and your body is weak."

Sheng Qingtang shook his head, "I have martial arts skills, so having a child is nothing to me."

"Besides, Chu Yue, I am not a weak woman who obeys my father at home and her husband when I get married. I think you know how difficult the road we are taking now is."

"What's our worst thing now?" Sheng Qingtang glanced at Chu Yue and said firmly, "Apart from our military strength, our worst thing is the people's hearts."

"The people are most important and the king is light. Water can carry a boat but also capsize it." In her previous life, she liked Li Shimin's words very much. It can be said that before him, few emperors really cared about the people. Up.

Many policies do not really take the people into consideration, and even policies that benefit the people are just because the emperors do not want their country to be destroyed.

"If there is anyone in the world who cares least about whether a man is the emperor or a woman is the emperor, it must be the people who grow food in the fields."

"For them, as long as the year is good, taxes are low, and there is a surplus of food every year, it is a good life. As for who the emperor is, they don't care."

"However, these common people are the most numerous in this world."

"So I want to go see for myself and see what their lives are like when they encounter natural disasters. I want to change everything and make their lives better and better."

Chu Yue was stunned by Sheng Qingtang's words. She was born in the Chu family and wanted to control her own destiny since she was sensible, so she attacked her brothers without mercy.

But she had never stepped out of this circle to see what was going on outside, nor had she thought about such profound issues.

It was as if there was a transparent gauze in front of her eyes, covering her eyes.

After a while, she smiled and said, "Yue is not as good as my lord, I can't think so deeply. Since my lord has decided to go outside the city, I will call some guards from the Chu family."

"Prevent problems before they happen."
