?Chapter 442: Chapter 439: Foundation of the Nation_1 Chapter 442: Chapter 439: Foundation of the Nation_1 In the carriage, Bai Jinxiu talked to Bai Qingyan about the events that had transpired in Dadu City recently.

“The youngest son of the Left Prime Minister, Li Mingtang, has completely lost the use of his legs. The Left Prime Minister opened the ancestral hall of the Li family to apologize to their ancestors and sent Li Mingtang back to their ancestral home. However, his eldest son, Li Mingrui, performed meritoriously in the disaster relief and has now been transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. The Emperor appointed him as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and many in Dadu City are envious. They say Li Mingrui has benefited from his father’s influence, but who would have thought that upon his appointment, he handled the food and funds preparation for the Northern Frontier war so beautifully that no one has anything to say anymore.”

Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes slightly. Li Mingrui’s abilities were undeniable. As the eldest son of Li Mao, he was personally educated by his father from a young age and had some means.

“This disaster in Yanwo triggered a rebellion. The Crown Prince went to provide disaster relief but returned injured after falling from his horse the day after setting out. Later, soldiers arrived in Yanwo and executed anyone who resisted. This eventually quelled the rebellion. After returning to the capital, Li Mingrui reported to the Emperor that most of the refugees headed towards Yan. There was even a rumor that those who went to Yan enjoyed the benefits of the new policies under Empress Ji, including good farmland and tax exemptions. The Emperor was quite pleased to hear this, thinking that the influx of refugees would be Yan Kingdom’s problem.”

While saying this, Bai Jinxiu’s expression showed clear disapproval.

The people… are the foundation of a nation!

These five words were taught to them repeatedly by their grandfather!
