However, next time, the Imperial Court might not be so lucky. It's impossible to keep someone watching over Jiangnan indefinitely. Hehe, little Emperor, we'll just wait and see!
...
July passed in the blink of an eye. As August arrived, the hot days became fewer and the cool ones more frequent.
With the rainy season over, the rainfall in Jiangnan diminished significantly, and the rivers no longer breached their banks.
Coupled with the Imperial Court's disaster relief and tax reductions, the commonfolk finally managed to recover somewhat.
After all, compared to previous years, this disaster wasn't particularly severe.
Jiangnan had always been a land of plenty; it couldn't possibly be unable to withstand even such a minor risk.
Everything gradually returned to normal.
The grain price issue was resolved, and the natural disasters had ceased.
There were no more internal troubles or external threats.
