The soldier hurriedly replied: "We cook porridge according to the share of the population.||For every two people who read romance, there is an account registered on XiaoΒ°Shuo.com. β·, some people have not eaten it, and the porridge will naturally be left. Now that the weather is hot, even if the porridge is cold, it doesn't matter, so it has been put here all the time, waiting for those who have never eaten it to eat. β
Zhou Bo nodded and said, "Very good, that's it." β
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked among the villagers who were eating.
These folks know Zhou Bo, because since Zhou Bolai took office, he often appears in front of people, with a hands-on image. They all immediately got up and saluted Zhou Bo, but Zhou Bo just smiled and told them to continue to sit and eat, ignoring themselves.
He asked, "Folks, how much can you eat every day?"
An old man smiled and said, "To be honest, it's not a luxury to be full, but it's better than being hungry." We also all know your suffering, Master Guan, there is nothing in this city that has been robbed by Qi dogs, and it is not easy to feed us people. Therefore, we will not have any complaints, and there will be more officials. β
Zhou Bo looked at these sweaty and tanned people who were sweating profusely and were exposed to the sun, his heart was sour, but he still kept a smile and said: "If you need anything, you can respond to the soldiers, and they will all sue me." It's a bit difficult now, so it's good for everyone to grit their teeth and get through. β
The common people all said yes.
Zhou Bo asked again: "Your home, have they all been repaired?"
The old man replied: "Alas, the family is not really bad, the key is that there is nothing left at home." We're going to help the others fix their houses in the morning, and when we're done eating, we're going to go about our own business. β
Zhou Bo asked puzzledly, "What else can you be busy with?"
The old man said: "Alas, my bed board is gone, so naturally I have to make a bed board." As for the rest of the furnishings, let's take a moment to get back into it. Anyway, there are officials and gentlemen, and we are not afraid that Qi Gou will come to provoke us again. β
Zhou Bo thought about it secretly, it seems that what the people lack most now is daily necessities, which is that these things are not in a hurry for a while, and if they can, they will be able to do some. You can still live. What he is most worried about now is the food problem, the military food is not enough for the whole city to eat, and he can't always ask for it from Xiangyang City.
Although there is a lot of grain and grass in Xiangyang City, everyone knows that after this war, not only the Gwanghwa Army needs relief, but other places also need support.
He sighed, his expression worried.
The old man saw this. I couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Yuanjun, do you have any difficulties?"
Zhou Bo smiled bitterly and said: "There are always difficulties, but don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, I will persevere, and I won't make it difficult for you." β
The old man was very moved, and said with a smile: "Zhou Yuanjun's words are out of sight, you often say that you must unite now." Therefore, if there is any difficulty, everyone can face it together. Zhou Envoy, please speak up. If there is any difficulty, we will definitely do our best to cooperate with the government. β
Other ordinary people also nodded yes.
Zhou Bo had no choice but to say: "It's still a matter of grain and grass." At present, the Guanghua Army has a population of more than 50,000 people in the whole city, and the grain and grass are consumed very much every day. And it's summer now, and the fields are not being destroyed by Qi dogs, so I'm afraid that the autumn harvest won't have much fruit. If we continue like this, it will be difficult for us this winter. β
The common people heard this. They all sighed, everyone knew that there was nothing they could do about this problem. At present, the common people inside and outside the city are counting on the official porridge field to live, and they can only blame the Qi army for being too ruthless and leaving nothing. They also know that it is difficult. This winter has really become a threshold.
Just when everyone was sighing, a cold "hum" suddenly came, followed by a girl's disdainful voice: "A dignified envoy, don't think about a solution to the problem, you can only sigh vigorously, and there is no interest at all!"
Everyone was stunned, and they all turned around, only to see a tall and thin girl standing on the small hill outside the porridge field while nibbling on steamed buns. Take a closer look, this person is none other than the girl named "Xiaoyu" who attacked Zhou Bo with a stone last time.
The old man recognized this girl, and immediately said to Zhou Bo: "Don't be angry, this baby is the daughter of Master Li, and Master Li is a famous scholar in the city." β
Zhou Bo just smiled and said, "I know this girl, don't worry, the child is unscrupulous, I won't blame her." β
When Xiao Yu heard Zhou Bo say this, he immediately became angry, snorted, and said, "I'm not a child, I'm fifteen years old." Are you blind?"
Zhou Bo sighed, he didn't plan to entangle with this girl who was unruly and human, and didn't have a bit of scholarly upbringing, turned around and left.
How do you know that Xiao Yu saw that Zhou Bo ignored him, but became more and more unhappy, and snorted angrily and sarcastically: "Okay, you are the commander of the system, we are all starving to death, and you don't have to worry about solving the problem at all." You're a hypocrite. β
Zhou Bo held his breath, turned around to look at Xiao Yu, and said: "Lady, you scolded me for being a coward last time, and you scolded me for being a hypocrite this time, can't I be guilty of my last life?"
Xiao Yu suddenly thought of seeing Zhou Bo's naked upper body that day, and his heart was slightly nervous, and his face became hot again, but he still said coldly: "Are you busy? Don't be busy when you should be busy, be busy when you shouldn't be busy, and you still say that you didn't mean to harm us?"
Zhou Bo became angry, but he endured it and said, "Where did I hurt you? You say I'm busy, so tell me, what should I be busy with?"
Xiao Yu glanced at Zhou Bo disdainfully, snorted again, and said, "Isn't there a shortage of food now?"
Zhou Bo was stunned, and suddenly felt that Xiaoyu, a little lady, had a hidden way, and he continued to ask: "Then tell me, how to get food to feed 50,000 people?"
"As the saying goes, we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, and we have mountains and water here. Are there no birds or beasts in the mountains? Are there no fish, frogs, crabs, and mussels in the water? You can mobilize some soldiers or some hunters to hunt animals. Go fish, these things can be stored in the sun and eaten in the winter. Xiao Yu said eloquently.
Zhou Bo suddenly brightened, it seemed that he was really confused, on the way to escape from Xiangyang City, everyone just had something to eat. But it's a solution, but 50,000 people is not a small number, and it can't be solved by these hunts and fish alone.
"What you say is indeed a solution, and I accept it. But this solution is not very good, because it is still impossible to solve the problem of food and clothing for the whole city. Zhou Bo said humbly, and at the same time, his tone seemed quite serious.
"Of course, I know that these solutions will not solve the problem completely, and there are other ways to solve it. Seeing that Zhou Bo humbly accepted his opinion, Xiao Yu suddenly looked triumphant.
"Do you want to ask for advice?" Zhou Bo said seriously.
Xiao Yu deliberately sold Guan Zi and said, "You were so fierce before. Now that you're so low, I look down on you. β
Zhou Bo sighed and said, "Then I'll apologize to Miss Xiaoyu, right?" This matter is important, it's not for the sake of the people, and I ask Miss Xiaoyu not to deliberately hide it." β
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "You said that you deliberately concealed it, but you were too stupid." In addition to hunting and fishing, there are many wild fruits on the mountain, and the fruits can be picked in the summer. There will be other fruits in the fall. These fruits can be taken to satisfy hunger now and save food. Save it for the winter. β
Zhou Bo sighed and said with a smile: "I see, thank you for your advice." β
Xiao Yu shook his head even more proudly, and said, "How about it, you know that you are stupid." β
Zhou Bo didn't want to make any excuses, so he could only blame himself for being a local military and political officer for a while. I'm not used to it yet, so I haven't thought about a lot of things. He smiled and said, "Yes, yes, there is indeed no such thoughtfulness as Xiaoyu Niang." β
Xiao Yuxiao's nose snorted and ignored Zhou Bo again. turned around and bit his steamed bun while about to leave.
Zhou Bo suddenly felt that this little lady was very smart, and when he was employing people, he could consider inviting this little lady to serve as a staff member. However, he knew that women in ancient times had not yet been officials, and the only official position that women could hold was also a female official in the palace.
But looking back, I thought that the Song Dynasty was no better than other dynasties, and the social atmosphere was the most open, and maybe we could persuade this little lady to help her! At present, there is an urgent shortage of talents, and for the sake of the future development of the Guanghua Army, I can't take care of so many things, so I simply give it a try, even if it doesn't work, it's not a big deal.
Immediately, Zhou Bo quickly chased after him.
However, Xiao Yu seemed to hear movement behind him, and deliberately quickened his pace, hurriedly about to slip away.
Zhou Bo was slightly stunned, so he had to shout: "Little Fish Girl, Little Fish Girl, please stay!"
Xiao Yu slowed down, turned sideways and glanced at Zhou Bo, his face was full of vigilance, and said coldly: "Why are you following me, what do you want to do? If you want to harm me, I will scream." β
Zhou Bo complained bitterly in his heart, he really didn't know what the little fish girl was thinking, he said with a wry smile: "Little fish girl, you misunderstood, why should I hurt you? You think so much." β
Xiao Yu was still full of vigilance, stopped, stared at Zhou Bo and said, "Anyway, I think you are uneasy and kind." You must be jealous that I'm smarter than you, aren't you?"
Zhou Bo smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but although I am jealous that you are smarter than me, I don't intend to harm you." On the contrary, I have one thing I need to ask Little Fish Girl to help me with?"
"What can I do to help you? I've already told you just now, you can arrange for someone to do it yourself. Xiao Yu said angrily. She kept her distance from Zhou Bo, and she was still holding the half of the uneaten steamed bun in her hand, if Zhou Bo had any bad moves, she would directly smash it with this steamed bun.
"I first asked Miss Xiaoyu to serve as the official of the Civil Affairs Department of the Imperial Palace, I wonder if Miss Xiaoyu will have something to avoid and inconvenient?" Zhou Bo adjusted his tone and said to Xiaoyu very seriously.
Xiao Yu was stunned, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and after a while he asked, "What? What did you say?
"Uh...... Zhou Bo saw Xiaoyu's demeanor, as if he was threatening himself, he snorted, and then said, "Xiaoyu lady, I am serious, I am not lying to you." Now that the government is employing people, I am only a little worried that Xiaoyu Niangzi is your daughter, and it will be inconvenient. But I'll put it in the front, I don't mean to discriminate against girls, if Xiaoyu Niangzi can agree, then the construction and development of the Guanghua Army will go further. β
"You really want to ...... You want to ask me to be an official......? How is this possible?" Xiao Yu still didn't believe it, she looked at Zhou Bo in a daze, as if she was looking at a monster all along.
Zhou Bowei smiled and said, "What's impossible about this?"
Xiao Yu immediately shouted: "I heard my father say that if you want to become an official, you must study to take the imperial examination, although my father taught me to read, but I don't know the truth of the sage book." Besides, I've never heard of girls being allowed to take the imperial examinations. Hmph, I knew you didn't have a good heart and ignored you. β
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked again.
Zhou Bo couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only chase after him again, stopped in front of Xiaoyu, and said very seriously: "Xiaoyu girl, please stay, I am kind enough to invite you, if you refuse to give in because of the inconvenience of the girl's family, then just say okay, why bother saying that I lied to you? I am very serious." β
Xiao Yu took a closer look at Zhou Bo and felt that this system made it really didn't have any shelf at all. What's more, she couldn't see any deception from Zhou Bo's face and eyes.
She pursed her lips and said, "However, even if you are sincere, I can't participate in the imperial examination." β
Zhou Bo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Miss Xiaoyu, the imperial examination examiner you are talking about, that is an official appointed by the imperial court. And I want to hire the official position of Xiaoyu girl, which belongs to my subordinate officials in the embassy, as long as I approve it, it can be reported to the ministry. There is a difference between the two. β
"Officer, do you want me to be your subordinate?" Xiao Yu was unhappy again.
"Little Fish Girl, how old are you this year?" Zhou Bo sighed and asked differently.
"Why are you asking this?" Xiao Yu stared at Zhou Bo suspiciously and vigilantly.
"Just asking. Zhou Bowei smiled and said.
"I just did the Bow two months ago, hmph, don't underestimate me. Xiaoyu said proudly.
Zhou Bo nodded thoughtfully, in ancient times, girls were fifteen years old, and the ceremony meant that the girl had reached adulthood. He sighed, the little lady is an adult, and her thinking is still so immature, which is even worse than Yue Anniang. It seems that Yue Anniang is a little smaller than Xiaoyu!
"What are you sighing for?" said Xiao Yu angrily, "What do you have to sigh after this girl and Lu salute?"
Zhou Bo said with a smile: "Little Fish girl, since you have already made the ceremony, you should naturally be more mature." I am a dignified envoy, and I have personally come to ask you to serve as a subordinate official in the government, and the purpose is not for anything else, but to give full play to the talents of talented people, and to restore the Guanghua army as much as possible. β
Xiaoyu was originally very angry when he heard Zhou Bo say that he was "immature", but later heard Zhou Bo say "give full play to the talents of talented people", and he couldn't help but be proud. If you are a talented person, then of course you must make good use of your talents! )
