Chapter 2868 The Real World 218

Bei Xingjun looked at his son's virtuous behavior and wished he could beat him.

It's only been a long time since I've been with people, and I've been heartbroken.

This son is good in everything, but he doesn't care.

Beilin looked at the city of Chang'an that was drifting away behind him, and felt guilty for not being able to fulfill his promise.

The army hurried on the road overnight, and the battle was urgent and could not be delayed.

The next day, the people of the entire Chang'an City knew that the border was defeated, the commander died in battle, and two cities were lost one after another. If the Great Zhou Dynasty launched an attack at this time, then the Southern Tang Dynasty could be said to be beleaguered from all sides.

Fortunately, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Shu Kingdom were at war, and they had no time to worry about it. It has also temporarily stabilized the two countries, but no one can guarantee that the Great Zhou Dynasty will suddenly launch an attack.

Because of this incident, Emperor Wenxuan couldn't sleep all night.

There is a saying that goes well, 'The house leaks when it rains overnight, and the ship is late and the wind blows'.

At this time, the Southern Tang Kingdom was facing such a dilemma.

After the border battle was defeated, floods occurred in Jiangnan and other places. The dam burst and the flood poured out. It was like a beast devoured countless fields and villages in an instant.

Emperor Wenxuan issued a series of imperial decrees, and countless officials dispatched three continents. The granary was opened, but most of the food was sent to the front line, and there was very little food that could be dispatched. For the three disaster-stricken continents, it was a drop in the bucket.

Some officials began to collect food from the big households in the city, but the final result was not satisfactory.

Many wealthy businessmen hoarded a large amount of food, but refused to give out half of it, which caused a headache for the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Tian Xiang Court

Lei Yuting and Bei Yutang sat opposite each other, a pot of tea on the table was steaming with steam.

He really admired the woman in front of him, and his original guess really came true.

At the beginning, there was this speculation, which was completely self-conscious, but I didn't expect it to be true. When he heard that the dam had burst and several major capitals in the south of the Yangtze River had turned into purgatory on earth, he finally understood that this woman was very, very not simple.

"Young Master Lei, do you want to be the richest man in Southern Tang?" Bei Yutang asked.

If it were replaced by other merchants, I would not dare. Because once he became the richest man, he would face the emperor's jealousy and make the emperor miss the merchants he had in mind, and his final fate would be to destroy his family and raid his home.

However, Bei Yutang was not worried at all about the forces behind Lei's family, for no other reason, just because they were able to become Lei's family so stable in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this alone shows their capital.

"The richest man, who doesn't want to be a businessman in the world. It's just that it's not easy to be named No. 1." Lei Yuting said.

"What do you think if the Lei family became the famous family of great goodness in the Southern Tang Kingdom?"

Great goodness is what the people want.

Before the ruler of a country wants to move him, he must consider the hearts of the people.

"Hahaha, Madam Mu always gives me reasons that I can't refuse." Lei Yuting said with a smile, "I wonder what Madam Mu is going to do this time?"

He was curious what she was going to do.

"Young Master Lei has seen a lot of officials recently, right?"

"Are you going to let me agree to their request and take the lead in donating food?" Lei Yuting asked with great interest.

Bei Yutang shook his hand, "No, no. Donations are inevitable, but they can't be handed over to them. I don't want to fill the pockets of corrupt officials with the money in my pocket."

Lei Yuting was curious how she would do it.
