I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Liu Zimo's face turned solemn. Although it was common for soldiers to be injured on the battlefield, it would be a misfortune if it happened to anyone, not to mention that Mu Bai was still young.

"Yue'er, if what you said is true, this matter is not so easy to accomplish. This matter requires the emperor to put pressure on the matter under the huge pressure of the people and harvest the grain in the fields in advance. It is not just a loss of grain. If it happens according to the trajectory you said, it is not so bad."

Liu Zimo's brows furrowed even deeper. "If this doesn't happen as you said, we will be accused of fooling His Majesty. Even if our Liu Mansion is useful to His Majesty, He will definitely use us as a shield because we have lost the support of the people. If His Majesty wants to blame us, we will suffer the consequences."

Liu Yueru also knew the difficulty of this matter. After her rebirth, the trajectory of many things had changed, and she didn't know whether they would happen as planned as in her previous life.

But she couldn't just watch her elder brother lose his arm, and the people who were displaced. Only when the country was safe could the family be stable. If there was war everywhere, she would live in fear every day.

Liu Yueru looked at the teacup beside her, thinking for a long time, and then said: "Yue'er also knows that this matter is difficult to handle, so she came to find the second brother to come up with a solution. It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Perhaps we can reveal this matter to the emperor from another metaphorical aspect, which can not only clear us, but also make the emperor pay attention to this matter. Now we still have some time to prepare."

Liu Zimo suddenly thought of something, and he hooked his finger at Liu Yueru, asking her to come closer.

Liu Yueru came forward puzzledly.

Liu Zimo whispered a few words in her ear.

Liu Yueru's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Second brother is really thoughtful. This is feasible."

"Okay, let's do it this way. The emperor will surely take this matter seriously within half a month." Liu Zimo raised his eyebrows slightly, and the solemnity on his face disappeared in an instant.

"What are you talking about that makes you so happy?" came a low and hoarse voice.

The two looked in each other's direction and saw Xie Jingrui coming directly to the main hall under the guidance of the doorman.

However, Xie Jingrui's gaze seemed to be on Liu Yueru since he came in, which made Liu Yueru feel a little uncomfortable.

Liu Yueru hurriedly stood up and greeted Xie Jingrui.

"We are all family, no need to be polite." Xie Jingrui said to Liu Yueru in a hoarse voice.

Liu Zimo stood aside and looked at Xie Jingrui quietly, and suddenly thought of something.

He smiled and asked someone to serve tea to Xie Jingrui, motioned him to sit down, and then said half-jokingly: "Nothing. It's just that Yue'er said she had a very strange dream."

Xie Jingrui sat down, picked up the teacup on the other side and took a sip, then asked curiously, "What dream?"

"Yue'er said that in her dream, there was an immortal who told her that Kyoto would face a great disaster in September. The first disaster would be famine, followed by foreign invasion, and the third disaster would be war and people's livelihood would be miserable. She said that the dream was too real and wanted me to check if there were any foreign spies lurking in Kyoto, and what the famine was caused by."

"September is the time for the big grain harvest. How could so much grain be destroyed overnight? First, there are floods, second, there is drought, third, there is a locust plague, and fourth, there is a fire!"

Liu Zimo's eyes swept over Xie Jingrui's face, and seeing that he was still listening attentively, he continued, "If it's a flood, you can ask the national teacher to take a look. There will be continuous heavy rains in the coming days. As for drought, the crops have grown now, so we don't have to worry about too much drought. There have been no reports of locust plagues in other villages around Kyoto. Even if they come, they won't come suddenly and aggressively and head straight for Kyoto, unless someone deliberately does it!"

Liu Yueru suddenly thought of something, and her expression suddenly changed: "Unless someone raised a large number of locusts in Kyoto from the beginning, and released them all at once when the time was right, it would cause a locust plague starting from Kyoto!"

Liu Zimo and Liu Yueru looked at each other, and Liu Zimo replied, "Yes."

In order to conceal their plan, Liu Zimo continued, "The same is true for fires. Unless someone deliberately set fire to multiple grain fields at the same time, all the grain would be burned to ashes. Otherwise, it would be impossible to cause a food shortage."

Xie Jingrui sat aside, drinking tea silently and thinking seriously about what the two said.

After a long time, Xie Jingrui finally spoke up to analyze the situation and said, "If someone is raising a large number of evil locusts in Kyoto, this will be easy to deal with. Since locusts are used to destroy food, they will definitely find a suitable place in the grain fields to raise them secretly. This way, we can narrow the search area and wipe out the locusts in one fell swoop before the locust plague begins."

Liu Yueru frowned and said, "We have to do this without anyone noticing. Otherwise, if they get too desperate, they might release the locusts early."

Liu Zimo also nodded.

Xie Jingrui changed the subject and said with a smile: "Maybe Miss Liu's dream was too real, so she took it seriously."

"Some time ago, I dreamed that my child who died young asked me if I didn't want him anymore. I went to his grave and saw that his body was not there. Then I dreamed that Song Nanzhi had an affair with Yuan's cousin, and it was confirmed. This dream came true several times in a row. Now I dreamed of this again. If it was just a dream, it would be fine. But I'm afraid that the dream will continue to come true. By then, Jingdu will really face internal and external troubles, and the people will suffer."

When Xie Jingrui heard Liu Yueru talking about the child who died young, he saw her eyes turn slightly red, and her hands holding the cup couldn't help but tighten.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and then he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Okay, leave this to me. If there is really no one to find, you can ask the emperor to issue an order to let the people collect grain in advance and exempt the annual tax. I believe that the people in Dadu will agree to this."

This was exactly what Liu Zimo and Liu Yueru thought. They looked at each other, then nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, King Jin."

Xie Jingrui was somewhat displeased with the way Liu Yueru addressed him, and his brows slightly furrowed.

Only then did Liu Zimo realize that Zhao Wanyan had not returned.

Then he asked casually, "I heard Yun'er is sick. What's wrong with her? How come she suddenly became so seriously ill?"

Xie Jingrui glanced at Liu Yueru with a hidden look.

Then he withdrew his gaze and said with thin lips: "The wound on her back has been infected, and she needs Aunt Zhao to take care of her. She may have to stay for a while before coming back. I came here just to reassure you. I will come back naturally when she gets better."

Ever since he heard Zhao Wanyan abandon Yue'er prematurely to Qizi'ao last time, he had seen the dark side of Aunt Zhao and was also aware that Zhao Wanyan was not sincere towards them.

Therefore, they would not care too much about what happened to Aunt Zhao.

Liu Zimo said calmly, "Now the household affairs in the mansion are managed by Aunt Chen, and Aunt Zhao doesn't have much to do in the mansion, so let her stay in the palace to accompany Yun'er more."
