Less than half a month after the autumn harvest, the entire Shunyang was empty. The caravan of the field is gone, and so are the officials who came to study and investigate.

In fields that have been ploughed by oxen, farmers break up large pieces of soil with hoes. This work is nearing completion.

The snow had not yet fallen, and the sound of iron hooves passing on the road seemed to carry a bit of a solemn atmosphere.

Ruan Bai stood at the intersection doing simple warm-up exercises, and several majestic big dogs behind him also shook their heads and stretched their waists. Obsidian was jetting on the side, relying on the height advantage, and it looked very eye-catching. Ruan Bai looked at the appearance of the stalk on his neck, and he was tired and panicked for it.

The twilight autumn sun has no power, and the wind blowing on the body is a heart-piercing coolness. However, the morning exercise of the soldiers was still over before the sun rose, and even the post men who had gone for the morning run with the farmer's hired workers had finished their work.

The huge official road is like being covered by Ruan Bai. He also struck a decent preparatory pose, squinted at it, and drove all the quadrupeds that had overstepped the line behind him, before he gave the order with satisfaction: "Ready-run!" ”

Ruan Bai took the lead and jumped out for a while, and the dog behind him was neighing, and it was very lively.

Despite this, as a human with two legs missing, Ruan Bai still ran the slowest at all. He can't even run the fat ball now.

I haven't exercised well for several months, Ruan Bai almost ran away this time, and he was tired enough to run all the way from Qianhu Mansion to the post station, and he came back by walking.

Chu Hao had already been guarding the door, seeing that he was panting and eager to stick out his tongue, he hurriedly walked over to support him: "I can't run, why don't you ride the obsidian back?" ”

As soon as Ruan Bai leaned into Chu Hao's arms, he was like a dead dog, and he closed his eyes and gasped for a while before he said under Chu Hao's urging: "My legs are weak, I can't climb up." "Such a shameful reason, I have to force him to say it and sleep in the study at night!

Chu Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then pursed his lips, and couldn't help laughing: "The hot water is ready." After taking a shower later, I'll press it for you, otherwise your legs will be sore tomorrow. ”

"Hmm." Ruan Bai gave him a look that counted you as acquaintance. As for the four-legged animals that had been running after him, they all ran out of joy after sending him home.

The limbs are not developed enough, and even playing is despised?

Chu Hao touched the stunned Ruan Bai and was relieved: "Let them go, and when they eat in a while, they will come back." "The rules of the house, the meal is fixed at the right time; Unless there are special circumstances, it will not be obsolete.

The two little cubs of Zhou Tuji's family originally needed to be fed for dinner, but after living here for a long time, they developed the habit of consciously eating enough meals.

Don't have a full meal and count on snacks?

Hehe. I didn't eat, I didn't give snacks, I didn't even have to give candied fruit. No one pays attention to crying when they are hungry.

The only special case in the Thousand Households Mansion is Ruan Bai, there is no second person, or a dog!

At the breakfast table, I saw General Cao who came to eat on time. He doesn't come every day, but half a month he will find all kinds of excuses to appear at the Chu family's dinner table.

Today's excuses are ready-made.

"Hurry up and finish eating, I'm going to run a lot of places today." After speaking, General Cao took out the momentum of going into battle to kill the enemy, and the wind swept away a piece of food in front of him.

As soon as Ruan Bai's chopsticks went down to the bowl, General Cao had already instructed the servant who was waiting on the side: "Another bowl!" He grabbed a big meat bun in his hand and complained, "Your bowl is too small, and it's not a girl, how can such a bite be enough?" ”

Ruan Bai put down the chopsticks and explained to the little guy: "Change the big bowl for the general." ”

The little guy nodded immediately, ran out with a cigarette, and soon took out the same bowl as Ruan Bai used to eat noodles a few days ago, and without saying a word, he filled a bowl of porridge for General Cao, and put it in front of General Cao steadily.

General Cao looked down at the thick and fragrant porridge, subconsciously touched his stomach, his eyes were sharp, and he fought hard! A manly man, if he dies by himself, he will eat it while crying!

General Cao went out with his stomach and packed two large meat buns.

The three of them got into a carriage, and when they arrived at the gate of the city, there were already several carriages waiting there. There were countless ox carts and donkey carts, and the flatbed carts were loaded with high loads, all covered with tarpaulins, so that it was impossible to see what was inside.

Several officials were busy checking whether the ropes were secure, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly stood solemnly and saluted.

General Cao waved his hand: "No need to be polite." Let's go! "What should be said and should be paid attention to, I have already explained it all a few days ago. It's really time to do things in a hurry, and now that the days are short, even if there are so many of them, they have to run for a few days.

The convoy ran mightily across the official road, and soon diverged along the forks leading to the villages.

This time they're going...... Well, send warmth. In Ruan Bai's words, the development of Shunyang is inseparable from the support of the people. The life of the common people is better than before, but it does not mean that they do not need help, there are still elderly people and children who are not warm every winter, and there are still people who can't eat meat every year.

Their Shunyang border army is now having a better life, and they can't forget the common people.

This mention was not actually proposed by Ruan Bai at the earliest, but by Chu Hao. After the autumn harvest was completed, Chu Hao, as the leader in managing government affairs, got the specific figures as soon as possible, and combined with the total of various taxes received, he found that there was a large amount of surplus.

Of course, it is not impossible for this part of the money to be spent on the border army. But it seems better to give some of it to the common people.

Ruan Bai perfected the plan. For the elderly over 40 years old and children under 10 years old, each person has a down jacket and a duvet; one cart of briquettes per household; Meat is given according to the head; Those who have made special contributions to the war will be given eggs and wine......

There seems to be a lot of stuff, and there are a lot of things that are pulled out. But in reality the price is not high. Few people are aware of the advantages of down. Besides, there are many farmers in Shunyang, and the down is collected at a very low price. The new fabric also deliberately considers the cost, and the production is also simple.

General Cao, the shopkeeper who shook his hand, looked at the convoy behind him on the road, and grabbed an abacus in his hand and toggled: "How much does it cost?" ”

He asked himself that he hadn't taken the road paved by Ruan Bai crookedly, and after handing over the government affairs in his hand to Chu Hao, he didn't see how much he had done, how could he get so many things for the people at once?

Chu Hao watched his abacus being snatched away by his boss, and simply dictated the expenses: "Actually, it doesn't cost anything." We have our own farm, and there are enough pigs and sheep. It has its own coal mine and its own winery. Now the people who work in the garment factory are also military dependents. Down jacket or something, but it wasted some time. However, the new winter clothes of the whole army have been completed, and the production of spring and autumn clothes will not be delayed. ”

To put it bluntly, everything is produced and sold by the border army, and the cost is not much at all. If Chu Hao is allowed to send a sweater and a woolen quilt, then he will definitely not be able to afford it.

Shunyang is vast and sparsely populated, and it won't take long to deliver things, and time is wasted on the road. It was supposed to be sent during the New Year, but I was afraid of snow and road closures during the New Year's Festival, anyway, the weather is cold now, so I sent it early.

Other villages and towns have also implemented it, but not as many as here in the border army. Rao is like this, and all the officials who sent warmth have received a lot of praise.

Some of the problems that ordinary people actually encountered and needed the help of officials to solve were also summarized and reported one by one.

Taking advantage of the last time before the road closure, Chu Hao was busy ordering everything that could be solved, and then packed a group of dogs at home and went home for the New Year!

He hadn't been home for the New Year for several years, and he really thought about it.

Because they went back for a short stay, the fat people were not free-range this time. The third and fourth are a little vigilant. Big fat little chubby ball, still looking heartless. Xue Xue has already been back and forth once, and she is very calm.

Without too much luggage and not too many people, the group arrived in Xijing in a few days.

Ruan Bai was stunned as soon as he lifted the curtain of the car: "How ......" Many of the people queuing up at the city gate were wearing woolen hats, woolen gloves, and down jackets.

The processing and production of woolen products, the only thing to do now is Liniang. In the past, Butterfly Love Flower and Bailifang did sell some woolen products, but that was only a small amount, and it was purely a small fight. The purchase of raw materials such as wool in large quantities is still a matter after the opening of the market this year, but how long has it been since it was full?

He regretted a little that when he passed by Xishan City, he didn't stop to ask Li Niang.

Chu Hao wasn't too surprised: "It's too late this year, you have to wrap a big red envelope for Liniang next year." "Such a capable girl is as good as the few scholars he has cultivated since childhood. Well? It seems that two of his scholars have not yet married, so if there is no object, let Liniang look at each other. Anyway, his scholar had already been freed from slavery when he was sent out to do things, and there was no problem with his identity.

Ruan Bai didn't know Chu Hao's thoughts, and quickly lowered the car curtain. The roof of the carriage has opened the skylight, which is different from the summer window screen, and now uses a layer of almost transparent thin cloth, which is one of the new fabrics researched by several previous masters, the cost is not low, and the advantage is that it is tough and durable. There is such a sunroof, even if the door is closed, it is not dark in the cabin, and the cold air does not blow in.

The carriage soon moved, bypassing the long line and cutting straight into the city gates.

There was some commotion in the procession, which quickly subsided, and I watched as a few ordinary carriages with no markings went first.

As a result, the carriage came to the palace, but something happened - the fat ball couldn't help jumping off the car! And then a bunch of fat guys all jumped off!

Not to mention the big fat with an oversized body, even the fat ball is not small now. suddenly appeared on the road, so that the suspension scared passers-by.

Fortunately, the road has now reached the vicinity of the palace, and there are few residents and passers-by in this area.

Chu Hao and Ruan Bai reacted quickly, and quickly jumped out of the carriage, and saw Pingxi Wang Zheng holding a fat ball in one hand, and said with a smile: "Yo, I'm back!" It just so happened that my father caught a fat dog, let's eat dog meat at night! ”
