After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 198 Helping to Find

Especially since the beginning of winter this year, snow disasters have occurred one after another, and temperatures have plummeted to new lows in decades. Houses of people in various places have collapsed under the weight of snow, livestock have frozen and starved to death, and people have been left without clothes and displaced.

Besides food, the most scarce resource is supplies for keeping warm.

Food could still be bought, but even with money, warm clothes were impossible to buy.

Recently, more and more disaster victims have been flocking to the outskirts of the capital. If the problems they face are not resolved soon, the fate of the Chu-Qin state may come to an end.

This is why Murong Xun worked late into the night every day, reviewing memorials, investigating and confiscating the property of corrupt officials, and using his own money to buy grain and distribute porridge.

Only by stabilizing the lives of the people can he prevent them from rebelling, thus giving him more energy to deal with the Left Chancellor's faction.

Upon hearing Xue Ruanruan say that cotton has the effect of keeping warm, Murong Xun deeply understood its importance, which is why he was so excited.

"Yes, besides being ornamental, cotton's most important value is actually for keeping warm. If Your Highness can provide me with some seeds, I can provide you with cotton. This material can be used to weave cloth, keep warm, stop bleeding, and even be pressed for oil to make lamp oil."

Xue Ruanruan remembered seeing records about cotton in a miscellaneous book in her previous life. At that time, she originally wanted to plant it on a large scale in her space to prepare supplies for Murong Luo and help him.

Unfortunately, he tricked his own spatial jade pendant and took it for himself, thus ruining the plan.

Reborn, she will no longer do anything for Murong Luo, but she still wants to plant cotton on a large scale.

Every time the Xue family army of 100,000 men led by Father went through a battle, countless people died, some were maimed, and blood flowed like a river.

Even if they were lucky enough to survive, the soldiers' future was still uncertain.

If cotton truly has so many uses, it could at least save many lives on the battlefield.

She knows that the soldiers are poorly dressed, and in such a harsh and cold place as the frontier, many have frozen to death or suffered from frostbite.

"Is there really something this precious in the world?"

Uncle Zhang traveled all over the country in his youth, righting wrongs and upholding justice. He considered himself knowledgeable and experienced, but he had never heard of cotton having so many benefits.

He didn't know whether he should believe Miss Xue, but he was also willing to believe her, just in case.

"You'll know if you try it."

Xue Ruanruan knew that no one believed her, and even she herself was holding back, so she didn't speak too definitively and left some room for doubt.

“Miss Xue is right. Whether or not it has such an effect, we can only draw conclusions after trying it. I am already aware of this matter and will send people to find cotton seeds.”

On the surface, Murong Xun appeared calm and collected, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil. His slender fingers slowly tightened, and a dark glint flashed in his dark eyes.

"Thank you, Your Highness. If we can find cotton seeds, the people will no longer have to worry about having warm clothes."

"Miss Xue is referring to weaving it into cloth for warmth, isn't she?"

"Yes, placing cotton inside a blouse has the effect of keeping warm and protecting against the cold, which is exactly what the people urgently need."

"I will personally oversee this matter, but it is now the dead of winter, the weather is cold, and the ice is three feet thick. Does Miss Xue have any method for planting this plant?"

Murong Xun knew that this question was suspected of prying into someone's secrets, but he still couldn't help asking, just to ensure that the cotton could be planted in a short time.

"Of course we have them, otherwise I wouldn't have troubled Your Highness to find cotton seeds."

Xue Ruanruan was holding back; it wasn't the right time to tell Murong Xun the secret of the jade pendant's space.
