Chapter 3516: anxiety

Because she was worried that the farmers would be too hungry and eat the

seeds, Yundai asked the Ministry of Household to allocate funds to buy grain

from Dazhou and distribute it to the people to ensure that they would not be

hungry.

In this way, the silver is spent like flowing water.

Xiao Ran was in charge of the money and food of the household department.

Every day, he held the account book and chased Yun Dai's crying report, saying

that if this goes on, the treasury will be empty again.

Without the money and food, she, the household assistant, still cares about

it.

Although she speaks vulgarly, it is true.

The imperial court does not collect taxes or grain.

The treasury and the granaries everywhere are empty, and she is also a clever

woman who can't cook without rice.

Since ancient times, this is the emperor, how can there be only one who can't

get in, sit and eat?

Many officials received salary and shimi this month, and worried that the

court would not be able to issue any money next month.

Fortunately, after these few months, the season for receiving goods is finally

approaching.

The winter in the Northern Qi Dynasty is severely cold, and crops cannot grow,

so we can count on the crop of autumn harvest every year.

Throughout the winter, the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty depended on this

batch of grain to live on.

In previous years, when taxes were severe, how many people paid taxes, and

there was not a single grain of rice left. They were busy all year long, but

during the New Year, the family could only order whole grains and wild

vegetables.

Yundai didn't want to watch the people under her governance lead such

hardships.

Therefore, she values the grain output of this autumn harvest very much.

Although Han Yu has always said that there is no need to worry, today's

Northern Qi Dynasty is different from the past. The number of males has

dropped sharply. Many farmers have women working in the fields to grow food.

Of course Yundai does not discriminate against women, but the fact is that in

the past years, men have been responsible for most of the farming, and women

are busy with back-house chores and are not good at farming.

She believes that as long as women are given enough time, they will do better

than men.

However, Beiqi was too poor, and time did not allow them to have too many

opportunities for trial and error.

Once there is a shortage of food for this autumn harvest, it will be a

terrible thing in the long winter that follows.

Zhao Yuanjing feels that Yundai’s insomnia is not only caused by worrying

about Qianer and missing her hometown, but also because of stress.

She is a little anxious.

She used to do everything she wanted, and she didn't have to bear any

responsibilities.

But now, she has become a queen, shouldering the lives and deaths of thousands

of people in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Every day she opens her eyes and money

is money. Although she looks as usual, the pressure and anxiety in her heart

are slowly accumulating.

Until Qian'er gave birth, it became the fuse and made her unable to sleep at

all.

Zhao Yuanjing looked at the cyan under her eyes and her wide open eyes, very

heartbroken.

"Dai'er, I will accompany you in everything, I will support you, don't worry

about anything. In the past, how happy and wanton you were in Da Zhou? It is

still the same now."

Yun Dai smiled and said, "I only know how tired, difficult, and helpless you

were when you were the emperor. Some things do not fall on you, and you really

cannot feel the same."

"I promise that this autumn harvest will be a big harvest."

"Really?"

"Definitely." Zhao Yuanjing lowered his head and kissed her, "If there is a

bumper harvest, and the people of Northern Qi have food for the winter, I will

accompany you back to Kyoto, see your mother and Qianer and the others."

"Okay." Yun Dai leaned her face in his arms, wrapped her hands around his

waist, and closed her eyes.

One month later, the Northern Qi Dynasty had fully entered the autumn, and

farmland in various places began to be harvested.

In order to avoid Yun Dai’s anxiety, Zhao Yuanjing took Yun Dai to play these

days, climbing mountains and wading through the water during the day, and

dragging her to toss about at night. When she was tired, she had no energy to

think about anything else, so she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
