In the Yongxi year of the Dayan Dynasty, the Qintian Prison misjudged the stars, and the Water God was furious. Three waves of floods suddenly struck - heavy rains flooded the city, river embankments burst, seawater poured in, plagues spread, and thousands of miles of fertile land was reduced to a swamp.
When Lin Yan became the female official of the Shanggong Bureau, there was only one year left before the natural disaster broke out. With the "portable storage ledger system", she hid her talents and secretly laid out a chess game in the name of "repairing the palace": the side palace of the cold palace was converted into a granary, the drainage channel was extended to the hidden reservoir, hybrid rice seeds were quietly cultivated in the palace backyard, and the system space was filled with water purification tablets, anti-epidemic drugs, and long-lasting rice cakes.
On the day of the disaster, the capital was flooded, refugees besieged the city, and the palace's granary was in emergency. She used a palm print token to coordinate supplies, used tarpaulins to protect millions of stones of grain, used low-priced salt to alleviate salt shortages, and set up quarantine areas to block the spread of epidemics. When faced with corruption and false accusations by eunuchs, she showed her imperial approval list to prove her innocence; when food routes were cut off, she joined forces with the censor Shen Zhiyan to promote "work-for-food" to protect people's livelihood.
From secretly hoarding goods within the palace walls, to leading troops in Zeguozhong to fight disasters, to pushing new grains and establishing disaster prevention laws after disasters, Lin Yan used his all-round skills to turn "hoarding" into a shield to protect himself, others, and the precarious Dayan mountains and rivers.
Millet was hidden in the palace wall to help with the difficult times, and the female official's story of survival in the disaster years began to unfold.
