The next day, the city gate, which had been closed for a long time, was opened, and the refugees who fled to the city gate all watched as the man in the clothes of the catcher led several people to carry a bunch of things out, pots and pans, and there was still food!

The refugees' eyes are green, that's food! What food to fill your stomach!

Most of the refugees fell to the ground because they were hungry and had no strength, but those who still had some strength were a little restless and eager to try.

But before they could do anything, they quickly spoke: "Everyone listen, the Cao Governor's Mansion returned the 300 stone grain borrowed before, and also gave 300 stone of grain, and the government has a total of 1,000 stone of grain. ”

Hearing the thousand stone of food, the eyes of those refugees lit up, and even the refugees lying on the ground struggled to get up.

"Lord Xiao, who recently came from the capital, feels sorry for you and has no food to eat, so he ordered us to open a relief station at the gate of the city, where everyone can eat two meals a day."

Hearing that there was food to eat, and that they could eat two meals a day, the refugees who had no strength to lie on the ground completely stood up.

Someone timidly asked the fast catcher in front of him: "My lord, is it true?" ”

Quickly pour the grain in his hand into the bowl and pick it up to show them, the snow-white rice is real food!

Catch quickly shouted loudly, and said in a voice that could be heard by all the refugees: "Lord Xiao said that the people are the root of the country, if the root is broken, where is the existence of the country, and Lord Xiao is a third-grade official from the capital, he will not lie to everyone!" ”

"In addition, Lord Xiao also said that if you want to eat, you have to exchange your own labor, there is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world, if you want to eat, you have to do things well!"

At this time, no one listened to the words of the catcher, let alone work, as long as they could have food, no matter what they were asked to do, they were willing.

Everyone cheered happily and excitedly.

Watching the people brought by the catcher make a fire to boil water, and then pour those white flowers of rice into the pot, the fragrance of rice gradually wafted out.

Some of the older victims were the first to cry, and some of the elderly did not want to flee, not only because they had eaten food, but also because they were afraid that their families would be affected. They have a handful of old bones, and they die when they die, and there is nothing to be sorry for, but there are sons and children in the family, and they can't be left without food.

is like Aunt Li, she didn't want to drag down her son, and wanted to stay at home and wait for death, but her son was filial and brought her strongly, and told her: "If my son has a bite to eat, there will be no shortage of you, so my mother will let me do my filial piety." Then she came out with her son.

Although he often can't eat, his son also told him that as long as there is something to eat, he must leave her a mouthful, and the two stumbled so much and wandered to the gate of Anhe County.

But as soon as she arrived in Anhe County, she was told that the city gate was closed a few days ago in order to prevent the influx of refugees into Anhe County.

But I didn't expect that before I died, I waited for the government to open the city gate and release grain.

Thinking about the widow Xu who lived next door to her, she praised her son to the people in the village every day, and she didn't forget that Aunt Li's son was stupid and could only work, and he would have no interest in the future.

As a result, in the face of this drought, her son and daughter-in-law directly left her and ran away, and when she ran, she did not forget to take away all the gold and silver in the family, and did not leave her any food, but she said that Aunt Li, the simple son, would take Aunt Li with him even if he died.

Aunt Li was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, she had been a neighbor for more than 20 years, and it was impossible for her to have no feelings at all, hoping that others would not be good.

Thinking of this, Aunt Li couldn't help but sigh, Lord Xiao, what a good official! As soon as I arrived in Anhe County, I thought about the people, this is a good official who does practical things!

The same thoughts are in the minds of these refugees.

At this time, the porridge had also been cooked, and a burst of fragrance ran under the refugee's nose, causing a commotion.

Seeing this, he shouted: "Give me a line up one by one to get food, don't run, don't crowd, don't cut in line, if I find out, this knife in my hand is not vegetarian!" ”

After speaking, he quickly pulled out the knife in his hand and lit up, and the knife was so clean that even the face could be reflected.

When Xiao Hao took Wang Zhenqing to the relief station outside the city, the people in the city who couldn't eat enough outside the city lined up in an orderly manner to receive the meal.

Xiao Hao and Wang Zhenqing were a little surprised, they didn't expect these refugees to be so hungry and still line up in an orderly manner and obey the order.

Xiao Hao asked Vice General Li to go to what happened to those refugees, and after Li Sinian came back, he whispered a few words in Xiao Hao's ear, Xiao Hao nodded, and looked at the catcher standing in the relief station with appreciation.

Xiao Hao and Wang Zhenqing came to the side of the catcher, and as soon as the catcher saw Xiao Hao and Wang Zhenqing, he immediately knelt down: "Meet Lord Xiao and Lord Wang." ”

The refugees who were originally queuing up to get porridge on the side, and the refugees who were resting on the side, heard the catcher shouting Lord Xiao, and immediately knelt down in the direction of Xiao Hao: "Meet Lord Xiao!" Thank you Sie-chan for saving your life! ”

The scene was once very spectacular.

Lord Wang looked at this scene, his face was full of sadness, everyone, can't you see the efforts I have made silently behind the scenes? This relationship, after all, was paid by mistake!! Well, in fact, because there was so much flesh on Lord Wang's face, I couldn't see his expression at all.

Xiao Hao stood out, helped an old man kneeling at the front, and then said to the others, "Everyone get up!" I just did what I should do for an official, and even if I didn't do it, other adults would open a warehouse and release grain. And I'm from a farming family, so I can better understand everyone's difficulties, get up and drink porridge, don't make my porridge cold. ”

Everyone smiled kindly, and the atmosphere became brisk again, queuing up, drinking porridge and drinking porridge.

The old man who was supported by Xiao Hao trembled and said to Xiao Hao: "Lord Xiao, thank you very much, if you don't use you, my old bones will be explained here!" ”

Xiao Hao smiled gently at the old man: "No, the old man has a tough body and will definitely live a long life." ”

After calming the old man, Xiao Hao stood beside the catcher: "You are very good, what's your name?" ”

Zhu Kuai was a little nervous, and was asked by Lord Xiao, who he admired so much, and stammered: "I, my name is Zhang He, and I take the name composed of the surnames of my parents in the family." ”

Xiao Hao could see Zhang Zhukuai's nervousness, and patted him on the shoulder: "You did a good job in this matter, the refugees lined up in an orderly manner, there was no queue, and there was no stampede, you have great potential, are you interested in doing things with me?" ”

Zhang Zhuai was stunned when he heard Xiao Hao's words, he, he was appreciated by Lord Xiao?

Lord Wang's eyes on the side were about to pop out, and he secretly complained in his heart Xiao Hao, just grab credit from me, you still want to rob my subordinates, I have this one under my hands who can use it easily!! Xiao Hao! You don't have a heart!!

Lord Wang frantically gave Zhang Zhu a quick look and wanted him to refuse Xiao Hao, after all, he has been a subordinate for so many years, and this kind of affection is still there, but he didn't expect that the fool actually knelt down directly under his nose, and said to Xiao Hao excitedly: "The villain is willing to serve the adult." ”

Lord Wang felt that he was going to faint in the next second, and he really lost his wife and soldiers.

Xiao Hao patted Zhang Zhu Kuai with satisfaction, no, it is Zhang He now: "Come to Xiao Mansion tomorrow to report, and I will take you to train with my soldiers." ”

Zhang He replied excitedly "yes".

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Xiao Hao mentioned the work to everyone again: "You all know that because of the drought, the Northern Muguo is ready to move, and it has been harassing our country's borders for a long time, and it is precisely for this reason that Your Majesty sent us here this time, and I also want to beat the iron cavalry of the Beimu Country back to their own country." ”

"But if you want to complete these tasks, you need everyone's help, and there is no way to rely on Xiao's own strength." Xiao Hao put his status very low, and what he said was sincere.

The refugees who had just drunk the porridge glanced at each other and spoke out one after another: "Lord Xiao, what do you need us to do!" We'll be able to make it happen for you! ”

"Yes, yes! As long as you mention it, I will definitely be able to do it for you! ”

Xiao Hao listened to everyone's warm words, and the whole person couldn't help but relax: "That's the case, we need three groups of people, one group of people to build the observatory, one group of people to build weapons, this team of people needs people with smelting experience, and then the last group of people need to follow my wife to the nearest village to experiment with her latest crops." I would like to remind everyone that all three of these tasks are important, and I will never allow half-hearted people to exist in these teams. ”

The people had no objection to the first two teams, but when they heard that Hang Yidong was going to take people to study new crops together, they were a little skeptical: "My lord, what kind of crops does Madam want to study?" ”

"Because our food can only last for about three months, my wife has been researching a plant recently, if the research is successful, it will be possible to get results in about three months, which is related to the future of everyone, so it is a top priority, and I hope that people with planting experience can enthusiastically join this team."

Grain that can be grown in three months!

Everyone didn't believe it, but they still had hope, that was Lord Xiao's wife, she must also be a capable person, maybe she would have planted it.

So everyone began to sign up enthusiastically.

"Me, me!"

"Add me one, I have been farming for more than ten years and have experience."

Looking at the people wearing tattered clothes and having dirty faces that couldn't see their faces, they enthusiastically signed up.

Everything is going in a good direction.
