"What you said makes quite sense—fiction щwwlā" Xiao Yu touched his little chin and looked hesitant.

"So, Miss Xiaoyu, did you agree?" Zhou Bo immediately asked.

"This ...... However, I am a girl's family, so I'm afraid it's not suitable. Xiao Yu said with some hesitation. Although she has been willful since she was a child, her father is a scholar and has always taught some girls the feudal etiquette and morality concept of peace.

These moral concepts are of little use to Xiaoyu, because she still plays willfully everywhere like a crazy girl all day long. But once you encounter something serious and strict, you will always have some worries in your heart. Just like now, she has always felt that a person who can be an official is a very majestic person, and she just likes to be playful, where is she qualified to be an official?

Even if it's a subordinate official of the embassy, it can't be done!!

"Actually, I'm also worried that Miss Xiaoyu will be a little weird, after all, it's not a good thing to let one of your daughter's families show up all day long. You have already done the ceremony, and you will be married in a few years, so you should stay in the boudoir. Zhou Bo sighed and said.

Xiao Yu's face flushed slightly, glared at Zhou Boyi, and said, "You disciple, do you want to care if I marry someone or not? You are really not a good person!"

Zhou Bo felt that there was nothing inappropriate about what he said just now, but it was just a matter of facts, and there was nothing frivolous. It seems that this girl is used to being wild, and she doesn't seem to like talking about marriage and other things that her daughter's family must go through.

"Little Fish Girl, I apologize. However, if Miss Xiaoyu can really come to the envoy to serve as a subordinate official, it will be a great thing. With the help of someone as smart as you, I believe that the Guanghua Army will be able to recover soon. Zhou Bo shifted the topic to the main topic again.

Xiao Yu sighed and said, "I have to ask my father about this matter first, and if he agrees, then I can promise you." After all, it's a big deal. ”

Zhou Bo smiled and said, "That's fine." Then I'll wait for the news of the little fish girl, and I hope the little fish girl will never forget jì. ”

Xiao Yu just nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked away from Zhou Bo on his own. The whole person seemed to have become a lot more preoccupied, and it seemed that he was thinking about whether to agree to Zhou Bo or not.

Zhou Bo looked at Xiaoyu's back, and thought to himself that he had no choice but to panic. However, although Xiaoyu is a little more childish, he has brains after all. If I can really promise to be a subordinate officer, I will also reduce a lot of pressure.

After a few days, there was still no news from Xiaoyu.

However, Zhou Bo was too busy to get away from asking about it, because the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences, after this period of work without sleep and food, had directly transformed those trebuchets and repeating crossbows into civilian tools. Five trebuchets were converted into steam locomotives for transporting timber and bulldozing, while the other repeating crossbows were converted into machinery that replaced oxen and horses, helping the common people to grind, plow, and so on.

Of course, because the steam engine is more expensive. It is impossible to give them directly to the common people to use. Zhou Bo sent some craftsmen and other soldiers who had used these machines to operate them. And the task of directing these operations, Zhou Bo handed it over to Li Xuzhong.

In addition, Zhou Bo once again summoned the elders of the city and instructed the little fish girl to go on the things that the little fish girl had said about hunting, fishing, and harvesting fruits. He sent 100 soldiers himself on the task, and then asked the elders to gather the hunters, fishermen, fruit growers, and so on, to gather food.

This work is carried out from the next day, and there must be a plan and a pattern, and you can't blindly go up the mountain to search for food. He sent a newly promoted junior general to divide the mountains, forests and waters of the Guanghua Army into several parts. According to the workload every day, only one part of the collection needs to be completed.

This not only saves time and avoids people's messy actions, but also the first person to pick the place. The second person didn't know and ran to pick again, which was too wasteful of efficiency. What's more, when hunters are hunting, they set up traps and the like, and once there is no unified direction of work, trapping is likely to injure their own people by mistake.

After overnight planning and distribution of details. Early the next morning, the crowd set out.

Zhou Bo only hopes that the problem of grain and grass can be solved smoothly.

From this day on, every day these food-gathering teams would bring back a lot of things. It is summer, and there are peaches, melons, white melons, sweet potatoes and even strawberries and bayberry on the mountain.

Since then, the porridge has reduced the supply of porridge and rice, and tried to replace daily food with fruits.

Of course, hunters will catch a lot of prey, except for some pheasants, wild ducks, wild boars and other animals that can be easily domesticated into poultry in captivity, the rest of the animals such as goats, deer, rabbits, etc., are also sent to various porridge farms. This meat is not to say that it is not taken out for the common people to eat, Zhou Bo stipulates that there must be meat every three days to reconcile, in addition to this, everyone saves it, dries the meat, and keeps it for the winter.

Half of the fish caught every day is taken out and eaten, and half is dried and stored.

As for the animals in captivity, Zhou Bo held a "investment conference" in the embassy and asked some people in the city with breeding experience to come and collect them. Of course, these animals are not given away for free, but they are called surrogate. Of course, some remuneration will be given for the substitution, that is, as long as these animals raise cubs, half of the old animals will be used by the households, and the other half will be used by the public.

On this day, the scene of the "Merchants Association" was crowded with people, most of them were housewives, and there were also some men from the countryside. They crowded the entire gate of the Imperial Mansion, and in the backyard of the Imperial Mansion, the animals that had been caught screamed wildly, and the whole scene was simply chaotic.

Zhou Bo finally quieted these people, and then said: "Don't mess up, today's distribution is over, and the ones caught every day can continue to be divided, what are you robbing?"

This sentence was finally a bit comforting, and it calmed down these people gradually.

Zhou Bo felt like the head of a village committee at the moment, dealing with a dispute between villagers. He was miserable, and his actinic military envoy was really not glamorous at all.

"Zhou Envoy, I've been waiting for two hours, and I'm the first to arrive. My pigsty is the largest, and it can raise a dozen pigs!" a woman shouted.

"You can think clearly, this is not an ordinary pig, but a wild boar. In addition, our government does not bear all the food for farming, and you must bear it yourself. It's not easy to be in extraordinary times, so let's actively cooperate. Zhou Bo said.

Hearing this, these people were in an uproar. It's not because of the wild boars. These people are born at the foot of the mountain all year round, and wild boars have naturally seen them and know how to deal with them. The key is that since the government wants them to raise them on their behalf, but they don't give them food for breeding, what kind of reason is this?

Someone said dissatisfiedly: "Zhou Yuanjun, we don't have anything now, people can't eat enough, where can we feed these animals?

"That's it, who can afford it. ”

"It's not going to work. The government must provide material to raise, otherwise this work will not be able to be done. ”

The scene suddenly became noisy again, and everyone kept shouting.

Zhou Bo took a deep breath and said loudly: "If the government has food for breeding, then we will raise it ourselves, why bother to let you raise it? What's more, these breeding animals are not for you to raise for nothing, and when these animals give birth to cubs, half of them can belong to you." ”

It's just that these people can't listen to Zhou Bo's meaning at all, especially those women, who like to worry about pounds and pounds on weekdays. Naturally, the shouting is even more fierce.

An old woman retorted: "Your government has no food, so we have it?" What's more, it takes a lot of effort to raise such animals, and now we have to provide our own food." What's more, these wild animals don't know what to do, and if they don't give birth for the rest of their lives, we will raise them for several years, and in the end we will not get anything. ”

Zhou Bo said coldly: "You say this as if our government is bullying people. Is it possible to make a profit in any transaction? There is always a risk. Otherwise, I wouldn't have publicly approached you and asked you, experienced farmers, to contract and raise you. ”

Another woman cried out, "Your government is a bully." My man goes up to the mountains every day to hunt, and my son goes to fish every day, but what else do we have to eat every day except some fruit and some rice soup without oil and water?"

She paused, and said more arrogantly: "In the final analysis, these beasts were originally hunted by our people themselves, and they were originally owned by us. It's a big concession for us to help you with official uniforms now, it's good for you to not give the material, and you still say that there is a risk, isn't this bullying the people?"

After these words, many people present were dissatisfied.

Originally, hunting, fishing and fruit picking in the mountains were all done by the common people, but the fruits obtained every day, the common people could not get them privately, and all of them had to be handed over to the public, how could this be convincing?

Gradually, the topic of contract maintenance shifted to protests. Everyone shouted one after another, saying that the government must give an explanation, why should the common people have to hand over the things they get by themselves?

Zhou Bo heard these words more and more harshly, and his heart was full of anger, these people didn't know what it meant to work together at all, they only thought about selfishness. Now more than 50,000 ordinary people in the Guanghua Army are all doing the work of restoring their homes, and they are all thinking about the Guanghua Army, but these women are only thinking about themselves.

Just as he was about to get angry, a girl's scream suddenly came from the door: "Shut up!"

This voice was extremely high-pitched, with the potential of a dolphin sound, and the shouting of the audience suddenly stopped.

The crowd blocking the door unconsciously flashed to both sides, revealing a path, and saw a girl in men's clothes striding in, it was the tall and thin girl Li Xiaoyu.

Zhou Bo looked at Li Xiaoyu in surprise, today's Li Xiaoyu seems to have been carefully prepared, and the whole person has changed from the unkempt and dirty appearance of the past, and the whole body has a new look. He found this time that Li Xiaoyu's skin was white and tender, as if it was snowy on the Tianshan Mountains, and it turned out to be a little beauty, although she was wearing men's clothes, she looked quite handsome, and she couldn't hide her feminine softness.

"Little Fish Girl, you, why are you dressed like this?" Zhou Bo asked strangely.

"This ...... I'll talk about that later. Xiao Yu's face flushed slightly, glared at Zhou Bo, and then ignored Zhou Bo.

She turned to look at the women and rural men behind her, and shouted in a cold voice: "You Diao people, you people only think about how the government bullies you and takes advantage of you, but haven't you thought about where the government has helped you?"

"If it weren't for the fact that these soldiers had captured this place and retreated, why would we have ended up in such a field?" cried out again, still unconvinced.

"Yes, yes. ”

"At the end of the day, they're the ones who hurt us!"

The scene was again in chaos.

Xiao Yu didn't hesitate, and shouted again: "Shut up, do you still have the face to use this matter as a talking point? Are you all willing to be under the control of Qi Gou? Are you a slave of a slave at all? We don't understand anything on the battlefield, and Yue Jiajun and Zhou Yuanjun will always make trade-offs on the battlefield for the sake of the overall situation." It's a blessing that you're still alive now, haven't you thought carefully about the soldiers who died fighting to recover Xiangyang?"

This sentence was said with great momentum, and everyone was stunned at once.

Xiao Yu then said: "Now that the Guanghua Army has been recovered, you are still alive." But you don't think about the difficulties in front of you, and think only about yourself, what kind of face do you have?"

Everyone was a little ashamed, but the woman who was the first to shout spoke again: "We are not talking about this now. Now the government has asked us to raise livestock on our behalf, but they don't give them the material for breeding, and these animals are originally obtained by our common people themselves, so why should the government sit back and enjoy the success, and still have to point fingers?"

Xiao Yu walked up to the woman, stared at her and said, "This is what the common people get, then let me ask you, did Zhou Envoy Jun say that these beasts were for his own enjoyment, or for his subordinates?"

"This ............," the woman did not know what to say for a moment.

"These beasts were caught by our common people with concerted efforts, and Zhou Yuanjun had no intention of occupying these beasts, and these beasts were not taken from the people for the people in the end? Can you think about it, how do we have food in winter? These beasts are our storage for the winter!" Xiao Yu became more and more energetic the more he spoke, and said that those shrew-like people had no temper at all.

"But we don't have the material to raise these beasts?" said another.

"Coming to you is the solution to the problem. Do you remember who gave you food and drink in the past month? All the food in the porridge field is military food, and the government can support you, can't you all raise these animals for yourself?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, they were silent, and many sighed. After Li Xiaoyu's words, they all realized that the government had done so much for the people unconsciously, and it was probably just because these things were too fragmented, so they couldn't feel it.

Zhou Bo listened to Li Xiaoyu's words, and his heart was immediately grateful, it seems that this little girl has a sharp mouth, even if she is young and inexperienced, it is more than enough to be a diplomat. (To be continued.) )
