With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"That's a must! This is a once-in-a-century flood, and we're doing our best to help the affected people get through this difficult time." Nangong Wu said as she walked to a desk, picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote a notice.

Nangong Xiao stood to the side and saw the contents of the notice she had written, feeling puzzled.

With such a massive flood and so many refugees affected, the amount of money required for disaster relief, based on my sister's standards, would be enormous. Even the national treasury of an entire dynasty would have to be used up to the fullest extent of its resources.

Just how much food was stored in her mysterious space?

After Nangong Wu finished writing the notice, she handed it to Su Siyan and instructed, "Make several copies and post them at the north and south gates of the city."

"Yes!" Su Siyan took the notice with both hands, read it through, and saw that it read:

People whose fields in Runan Prefecture and Jianggang Prefecture were flooded can come to Runan City to receive relief grain, provided that their household registration and a certificate issued by the village head are true.

Each person will receive 30 catties of rice, 20 catties of flour, and 300 copper coins per month, for six months, paid in two installments. Additionally, those whose houses are damaged by flooding will receive a subsidy of 10 taels of silver per house.

"I'll go with you!" Li Zhan also stepped forward.

"Let's go!" The two walked out together.

"Sister, since we're actually issuing housing subsidies, do we still need to rebuild the houses in Runan City?" Nangong Xiao asked her.

"It is to be rebuilt, but not by the people themselves. Instead, it will be built according to the original plan."

"As for the housing subsidies, they are only for people outside the city. Ten taels of silver isn't much, but it's enough for them to build a place that can shelter them from the wind and rain," Nangong Wu said.

"I understand, brother!" Nangong Xiao nodded.

"Sister Princess Runing, I've recovered and can help with the bookkeeping." The Seventh Prince, Nangong Hong, also wanted to do something.

"Alright, then come with me to distribute the silver." Nangong Xiao patted his shoulder.

"Okay." Nangong Hong smiled.

"Brother, has Father written to me while I've been gone?" Nangong Wu asked.

Her biggest worry was her father in Kyoto.

"Yes, I was so happy to see you that I forgot all about the important matter!" Nangong Xiao opened a drawer and took out two small rolls of paper.

"These are two letters I received from my father after you left. Take a look."

Nangong Wu took the roll of paper, and her gaze turned cold after reading the first page.

"Winter has already arrived in the north, and the imperial court still hasn't delivered winter provisions and clothing to Lindong Pass? Damn it!"

She opened the second note and her anger flared. "Ten days of heavy snow have blanketed the northern border, blocking the roads. The imperial convoy carrying provisions couldn't pass, and the convoy was attacked by bandits who stole all the provisions and winter clothing intended for the Zhenyuan army!"

"It must have been Nangong Chengkun's doing." Nangong Hong was also furious upon hearing this.

"How could ordinary mountain bandits dare to rob the imperial army's grain transport troops? This must be a conspiracy by Prince Nangong. He stole the grain and winter clothing, clearly intending to starve and freeze the 300,000 Zhenyuan soldiers to death."

"No!" Nangong Xiao sneered, "In the past, Father donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the court every year, but this year our Prince's Mansion will not donate, so Nangong Chengkun came up with this idea."

He assumed that winter provisions and clothing had been stolen, and therefore used the excuse that the imperial court couldn't afford to send supplies to the Zhenyuan Army! He thought our Prince's Mansion had money and wouldn't abandon the Zhenyuan Army's fate.

"So, Nangong Chengkun robbed the grain and winter clothes, forcing the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion to pay for the army themselves. What a vicious heart he has! Now that the heavy snow has blocked the roads, even if there are supplies, they can't be delivered to Lindong Pass. He really doesn't care about the lives of 300,000 troops at all." Nangong Hong said angrily.

"Brother, I want to return to the capital tomorrow to bring Father here and completely sever ties with the Western Yan court," Nangong Wu said coldly.

What happens to the Western Yan Kingdom in the future is no longer their concern.

"Yes, Father mentioned in his last letter that he has finished dealing with the business in the capital and can leave at any time," Nangong Xiao said.

"Alright, I'll leave tomorrow." Nangong Wu's eyes gleamed coldly.

"Princess, that Crown Prince is despicable! He doesn't care about the lives of 300,000 soldiers. When you get back, give him a good beating!" Ji Hongfei said indignantly.

"The momentum of the Western Yan Kingdom has been exhausted. We don't need to take action. Nangong Chengkun will destroy the Nangong family's empire on his own. We'll just wait and see the Western Yan Kingdom fall into a desperate situation of being besieged on all sides, and let Emperor Mingde see how incompetent and immoral the crown prince he chose is!" Nangong Wu was looking forward to this day.

"When that happens, local warlords and regional governors will establish their own independent regimes, and war will break out everywhere. It will be the ordinary people who suffer." Nangong Hong was heartbroken. The Nangong family's centuries-old foundation was about to be destroyed.

"Sister Princess Runing, only you can save this world."

"It's beyond saving! I'm not some saintly saint either. You can see our current situation. Before saving others, we need to get better ourselves first." Nangong Wu shook her head.

She wouldn't do something that's thankless and exhausting.

With her weapons, she could kill anyone she disliked, seize the Western Yan Kingdom, take over the Eastern Jin Kingdom, and make the whole world submit to her.

But what's the point of her doing this? She has endless gold and silver treasures; what she wants is to live a peaceful life with her family, not a life filled with endless worries.

Her current priority is to build a solid foundation for Runan City, ensuring a stable and happy life for herself, her children, relatives, and those around her, before considering anything else.

At this moment, Nangong Xiao's capable assistant, Ouyang Feng, came in to report: "Your Highness, after the notices were posted, some people have already come to collect the relief food."

"Alright, go and call some people over to carry the grain and money out," Nangong Wu instructed.

"Yes!" Ouyang Feng hurriedly left again.

"Let's go, let's go to the government office first," Nangong Xiao said to Nangong Hong.

"good!"

Nangong Xiao and Nangong Hong left first.

Inside the tent, only three guards remained: Li Shuang, Li Ke, and Ji Hongfei.

Nangong Wu stepped out of the tent and, seeing that no one was around, raised her hand and conjured ten large boxes from her spatial storage. Inside were small silver ingots, broken silver, and copper coins.

She moved to another open space and took out the rice and noodles.

Before long, Ouyang Feng arrived with his men and moved the things out.

"You stay here, Li Shuang and I will go out." Nangong Wu instructed Li Ke and Ji Hongfei, and then took Li Shuang out as well.

Outside the government office, Nangong Wu was stunned to see the densely packed crowd standing outside.

In such a short time, there are already so many disaster victims from other places?

Nangong Xiao's expression was somewhat unpleasant. "Sister, they've all come to collect the ten taels of silver housing subsidy."
