Chapter 248 The Queen’s Deterrent Power

Author: Yue Tu Yue Tu

The refugees were all skinny and skinny, with numb expressions, but their bellies were huge and they looked very deformed, as if they were walking corpses.

They were spread out on the ground, as if they were not interested in anything. Only some food could make them fight without regard for their lives, ferociously like wild beasts.

They have almost lost their humanity.

In fact, Gu Xi not only saw a scene of cannibalism, but also the elderly, children, and women could easily become food.

Young adults will either be incorporated into the rebel army or become bandits.

The local county government office had been occupied by the rebels, and the county magistrate and other officials were killed. However, the court did not get the news at all.

As for the local powerful people, they have become the targets of the rebel army, and the two parties are fighting.

Although the rebels were large in number, they were all a ragtag group, and they had not had enough to eat for a long time, so they had no strength.

Therefore, they were unable to capture the powerful homes of those high-ranking families for a while.

Naturally, those powerful people could not sit still and wait for death. They asked for help from outside. The prefectural governor above also sent troops to suppress them. However, the refugees dispersed and ran into the mountains and forests. There was nothing they could do against them.

This situation was at a stalemate for a while.

However, there is no city wall that cannot be breached, let alone those powerful families. If they continue to be surrounded like this, they will not be able to survive. Sooner or later, they will be killed by the refugees and all their food will be robbed.

"I didn't know that the situation in Dongyang County had become so serious until I saw it with my own eyes. I believe there must be more than one Dongyang County like this."

Qin Xiao said with a very ugly expression.

"Well, you can continue on your way. I will check the surveillance one by one. First find out where the turmoil is most serious. I will send people to quell the chaos tomorrow."

Gu Xi also looked very bad. The situation was much more serious than she thought. Although she didn't think she had a Bodhisattva heart, she wasn't a stone-hearted person either.

Seeing such a hell on earth, and now they are all her people, how can we not feel uncomfortable.

Calming down chaos, providing disaster relief, dividing fields, and cultivating, everything must be done without delay!

There is unrest in Dongyang County and other places, and even if relief food is shipped there, it will not help.

But who should be sent to quell the chaos?

Gu Xi thought of Prince An and their Yama Luodian personnel.

At least they have enough combat power, but they don't have enough manpower.

But the fighting strength of the local garrison... Gu Xi's eyes were full of disgust when he thought of the situation he just saw on the surveillance camera.

This is a bunch of trash raised by the imperial court!

We can't expect them to be the main force, we can only let them follow behind and fool around.

We need to raise and train troops!

Gu Xi sighed.

This country is too dilapidated, and there are too many places that need to be repaired. It is useless for her to worry, she can only do it step by step.

Gu Xi thought about it, and turned on the weather forecast system to check the weather in various places in Qin. He was afraid of major disasters. After all, the south would enter the rainy season in half a month, so he was afraid of another flood.

Gu Xi looked at the celestial phenomena in various places and found no major problems, so he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope God will be kind and give them some time to breathe.

Don't let any natural disasters happen again.

As soon as the meeting began, Yang Shoufu and others found that the queen looked ugly, and she no longer had the lazy aura she had before. Her aura was as powerful as a sharp sword, which was as threatening as it was sharp.

Yang Shoufu and others were heartbroken, and they all bowed their heads obediently, not daring to offend the Queen.

Prince An also noticed Gu Xi's state for the first time and felt a little worried.

What happened?

He had not seen Gu Xi like this for a long time.

Gu Xi not only stayed up all night, but also watched disaster movies all night. They were all real, real-life human tragedies. It's strange that her face looked so good!

Ever since the system was established and he saw the efficiency of transportation in the future, Gu Xi couldn't stand the speed of horses and carriages.

Starting from the capital, riding a fast horse, traveling day and night, it will take twenty days to arrive. If it is a march, then don't even think about it.

It won’t arrive in more than a month!

Too, too slow!

She now wished she could rent an airplane or spaceship from the system, which would ensure that people and food would be available in a short time for disaster relief.

It's a pity that she doesn't have that much money to rent a plane. It's too expensive. Well, it's not like she doesn't have money. It's affordable to rent a plane. Even if the system gives discounts, it won't be that taxing.

However, considering that the appearance of a spaceship or airplane in their plane was a bit shocking, Gu Xi gave up for the time being.

At this time, Gu Xi came to these ministers to discuss matters. Gu Xi wanted to see if there could be a more effective way to mobilize and organize manpower to quell the chaos and provide disaster relief.

Therefore, after all the ministers who were discussing the matter had arrived, Gu Xi didn't waste any time and said immediately,

"More than a dozen places, including Dongyang County, Xiping County, Miyun County, and Shanbei County, have been occupied by rebels or bandits. County magistrates and other court officials have also been killed. Local wealthy or aristocratic families have been robbed.

Kill or flee elsewhere.

If the turmoil in these places is not calmed down and the refugees are not resettled, the plague will inevitably break out when summer comes, which will cause even greater disasters.

The imperial court has the food and money for disaster relief, and part of it is also prepared in Yaowang Valley.

To be honest, I don't trust the local garrison in terms of manpower to quell the rebellion. If they were capable, they would not allow the rebels to cause chaos.

So, what suggestions do you have for those who are trying to quell the chaos? I need to be quick enough, preferably within half a month, so that the refugees can be organized to cultivate the fields so that the autumn harvest will not be delayed."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, Yang Shoufu and others looked at each other in shock.

Why did their queen master so much information that they didn't know overnight?

They really didn't know that there were rebellions in so many places.

"May I ask, the Empress, where did you learn about the situation in these places?" Yang Shoufu couldn't help but ask.

I can't help it, I'm too curious.

"I, like the emperor, can communicate with heaven and see it personally." Gu Xi said.

Yang Shoufu,...

Is this answer too perfunctory?

"Don't believe me?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Last night your little son spent a lot of money to sleep with a courtesan in Zuihua Tower. He was so romantic and happy that I was envious even when I saw him."

Yang Shoufu, "!!!"

He was only informed of this by his servants when he left home early in the morning, but he was so angry that he ordered his younger son to be grounded.

Because he was in a hurry to attend the meeting and had no time to teach his younger son a lesson, he thought of dealing with him later.

Does the Queen know this?!

Yang Shoufu knelt down with a pop, frightened, "My child is naughty, I failed to teach him well, I am guilty!"

Seeing this, the other officials knew that what the Empress said was true, and they suddenly broke out in cold sweat, like a flash of light on their backs.

No way, no way.
