In the south of the city, because the army was stationed very early, the people here cultivated smoothly, but in the north it was different.

Xiao Haitang went to the north with Du Xingze to calm the people's hearts, so that the exiled people could return to their hometowns.

Not only were they exempted from taxes, but they were also given grain so that they could plant their crops early in the fall.

Word soon spread everywhere, and those who had fled returned to their hometowns.

Qu Yuanhua also opened grain shops to various towns to ensure that the people could have food to eat.

The previous drought and locust plague have already left them with no grain harvest, and they have no summer grain, and the autumn grain will not be able to receive new grain until May next year, so the demand for grain is very high.

In spring, relying on the blessing of the mountains, you can still make a living by digging some wild vegetables, but what about the cold winter?

Qu Yuanhua naturally knew Xiao Haitang's concerns, and he told her: "Don't worry, I won't rise to the top."

I promise that I will only earn a penny for a pound of grain at most. ”

Xiao Haitang pursed his lips, earning a penny for a pound of grain, it doesn't sound like a lot, but because their grain has to be transported from Qingzhou Mansion, it can cost a lot along the way.

Forget it, it's good to have food, you can't let Qu Yuanhua work in vain, right?

She said, "Then thank you, uncle." ”

Qu Yuanhua smiled and said, "Why be so polite. ”

It solves the problem of eating for the people, and also solves the problem of heating them in winter.

She ran back to the Eighteen Ridges to see the cotton situation here.

The cotton here has been picked since July, and the yield is still okay.

However, it is not enough for these cottons to be used for military supplies and transferred to Jimo City.

She transferred some cotton to Ji Mocheng's side.

She asked Du Xingze, how does their family keep out the cold in winter?

Du Xingze said: "Our family has a fox fur in cotton clothes, a carbon brazier at home, and a curtain on the door, so the house is very warm. ”

Xiao Haitang heard him say this, and suddenly said: "Then if we let the people warm up their homes, won't we have to worry about the problem of not having cotton clothes?" ”

Du Xingze said: "Yes, we can let them build a ground cage, and burn firewood directly without charcoal, as long as they prepare enough firewood, they will not freeze to death in winter." ”

As soon as Xiao Haitang heard him say that the ground cage was probably able to guess that the ground cage he said was something for heating, he immediately agreed.

However, it is still difficult to mobilize the people.

So, they still chose to let the Lizheng in each village take the lead, get it first in Lizheng's house, and then let each family follow the base.

If enough firewood is prepared, the tax revenue will be reduced by 10% next autumn.

When everyone heard that the tax revenue in the autumn would be reduced by another 10%, they all rushed to get rid of it.

Du Xingze found someone from Zhong Li and went to check them one by one.

Not only to check the completion of the ground cage, but also to see the preparation of firewood in their house.

They have a lot of trees here, and as long as they are not lazy, they can cut firewood casually.

Ensure that the people have enough firewood at home, which can be regarded as solving the burden of Xiao Haitang's heart.

When she returned to Ji Demon City, Zhou Yuanzheng said: "In the past few days, you have lost weight again, just tell someone to do it directly, and you don't have to do everything yourself." ”

Xiao Haitang smiled and said, "You know I can't be idle. ”

Zhou Yuanzheng pulled her in his arms and said, "I will soon calm the world and let the people live in peace and happiness, and you will not work so hard in the future." ”

Xiao Haitang said: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it." ”

"When the world is stable, will we get married?"

Little Begonia said, "Okay." ”

Zhou Yuanzheng slowly let go of her, holding her face with both hands, and slowly approached her.

Xiao Haitang's heart also beat faster, and it wasn't until he kissed his mouth that he realized that he had kissed her.

She tried to hide back, but he hugged her, leaving her with nowhere to run.

After a long while, Xiao Haitang pushed him away, turned around, blushed and said, "I, I can't breathe well." ”

Zhou Yuanzheng was in a good mood, laughed heartily, and said, "You have to get used to it slowly." ”

Little Begonia's face is hot.

Zhou Yuanzheng wrapped her in his arms from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said, "In a few days, we will attack Daliangzao."

I'll ask Li Jia to send you and Qiuxia back.

That Mama Zhang also looks like a capable person, so you can keep her. ”

Little Begonia asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

"Well, there are still many people in the world who are in dire straits, and we have to save them.

No matter what happens ahead, I can handle it, but you can't do anything. Zhou Yuanzheng said seriously.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine.

Have you forgotten? I've been a natural person since I was a child, and I'll be fine. ”

Zhou Yuanzheng nodded and said, "I'm afraid that I will be deceived again." ”

"Not anymore." Little Begonia said.

The two hugged each other and fell asleep.

Xiao Haitang is now twenty-eight years old, and Zhou Yuanzheng is also the time when his blood is strong, and the two sleep together, which is a great test for Zhou Yuanzheng.

Although he endured it very embarrassed, he still chose to respect Xiao Haitang and wait until the flower candle in the cave room to enjoy everything that belonged to him.

The next day, Xiao Haitang left Ji Demon City.

Zhou Yuanzheng asked Li Jia to escort them back.

Although Xiao Haitang said no, he couldn't refuse in the end.

Mama Zhang also went back with Xiao Haitang.

Her home is from Ji Demon City, but she has been serving Xiao Haitang for so long, and she has also seen Zhou Yuanzheng's attitude towards Xiao Haitang with her own eyes, and knows that her future is limitless, so she is unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

She will stay by her side and serve, and in the future she will become queen, and she will rise with the tide.

Therefore, she left her hometown and followed Xiao Haitang to Qingniu Town.

Think about it yourself, you are a descendant of the royal family, if you let others steal the Liang family's country, can the ancestors agree?

Besides, if we don't cooperate with the extermination of the rebels at this time, will we be able to tolerate us if we take the country in the future? ”

"That's right, Childe, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about us.

We followed Childe, just because we fancy Childe, who will definitely do something in the future, but now Childe has such a good opportunity and does not use it, obviously not caring about the future of our brothers. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, doesn't Childe want to take revenge? Childe, has he forgotten how Madame went? ”

Gongzi Yin heard them all say this, and his heart was upset.

Speaking of the Liang Dynasty, Sima Ji learned that Ji Mocheng was lost, and He Mound was trampled to death by the people, and he couldn't believe it at all, just like Li Se's reaction.

How could he have died so easily?

After waiting for two days, He Mound's henchmen Xia Zheng and the others really helped the coffin back to Beijing and waited outside the city.

Sima Ji immediately went to check it out in person.
