Lu Shaoqian asked each household to come out and get a mouthful of food, and wait for everyone to arrive.

The leader of the food escort took out a booklet and read it to everyone.

"The emperor counts the 5 soldiers stationed in Shuangjiang Town. Each person eats one catty of rice a day, and thirty catties a month. I will distribute rice to you for three months, which is ninety catties per person."

As soon as the leader's voice fell, there was a burst of discussion below: "Is this too much?"

"What people say is that the soldiers receive salaries, and one catty of rice per person is not much for a day, and it's not for us."

"We don't dare to ask for the imperial court's salary, it's only for soldiers."

The head of escorting food and grass ignored the discussion below and continued.

"This is indeed military salary. The emperor will give you military salary once a year, but only part of it will be paid to you. The rest will need to be settled by you, Shuangjiang County."

As soon as the leader finished speaking, the frying pan started.

"We have committed too much crime, we didn't know it before, so they need us to solve their food?"

Lu Shaoqian raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and he told the common people.

"Don't complain, just be content with what you have every day, the emperor is still very good to us."

"These grains were mobilized by the emperor from other counties. They didn't have troops there, so the grains handed in were distributed to the north and south borders."

When the people in Shuangjiang County heard what their boss said, they fell silent.

Because it is the border, Turkic people often come to grab food, so the common people can't eat enough all the year round.

All of them are sallow and thin, with disheveled faces, and working in the fields has to be exposed to the wind and the sun. They are very different from the people in the city, which can be seen at a glance.

The so-called beautiful country girls are extremely rare here.

Even if there are some occasionally, they are usually rich families in the county or town, not ordinary farmers.

Since they can’t eat enough all the year round and are not active in work, anyway, the farmers’ enthusiasm is very low.

As a result, the grain output is lower, and the harvest is not enough to feed my family, let alone hand it in.

The eating conditions of the common people are generally based on one hundred catties of wheat per person per year, and the maximum for a family is five or six hundred catties of wheat.

On average, the whole family has less than two catties of wheat per day. When it is ground into flour, the whole family can use more than one catty of flour.

Therefore, farmers hardly eat a meal of wheat flour buns throughout the year. During the Spring Festival, they steam two pots of white steamed buns to entertain guests.

Children are greedy and want to eat two bites all day long. White rice and meat are even more precious. Poor people rarely eat it once a year.

So when they heard that one catty of rice could be shared a day, they all had expressions of disbelief.

What's more, they have planted a lot of wheat now, even if they pay the military salary in the coming year, there will be a lot left.

Everyone was happy again, "There are five people in my family, and we can share 150 catties of rice a month."

"My God! Then we can have a lively year, it's great."

"It's not just Chinese New Year, even when there is a famine next year, I won't be afraid of starving the children."

"I also think that next year we will have a bumper harvest of rapeseed, peas, and wheat, so we don't have to worry about how good it is to eat."

"Yes, let's divide up the food and go to work in the fields."

"."

The more everyone talked, the happier they were. A group of people gathered around Lu Shaoqian and the others to distribute food, chatting with each other.

Everyone laughed endlessly, as if they were celebrating the New Year, they were so happy.

Lu Ke and Shao Qian felt that these were not important.

There is only one thing on his mind now, his wife is pregnant and he is going to be a father.

He is extremely energetic in everything he does, and there are less than [-] people in their entire Shuangjiang County.

So after the distribution is over, there are still leftovers, and all of them will be sent to the warehouse in the mountains.

"This year, the population of our Shuangjiang County is small, but the land is not less than in previous years. If we work harder, we won't have to worry about starvation next year."

"That's right, that's right, then we can have a lively new year, everyone work harder."

"Next year we can have a happy year."

"What about next year? We can live the happiest year this year. The main reason is that Master Lu and his wife are well received."

Lu Shaoqian listened to everyone's words, his eyes were full of pride, all this was due to his wife.

He never knew that she still had such a sense of responsibility to do so much for the people of Shuangjiang County.

He also wants to do something for the common people, and even more for their own family.

He looked towards the direction of the deep mountain, where his daughter-in-law he missed the most, Lu Shaoqian's eyes were full of firm belief.

He wants to give her happiness!

He wants to make them the happiest people in the world!

For a long time, Lu Shaoqian did not agree with the idea of ​​hanging around his wife.

But he wants to be with her all day now, but there are still many things to do in their village.

Now everyone can eat a meal of meat every few days, and everyone's life is very nourishing.

It is the most active time, and he wants to lead everyone to work hard and strive for a bumper harvest next year.

Lu Shaoqian stood at the gate of the county government office, holding a rough bamboo stick in his hand, directing a group of ordinary people to distribute food.

After the food was distributed, everyone happily carried the rice and went home. After putting away the food, they went to work in the field.
Lu Shaoqian said to the officers and soldiers escorting the food: "Everyone has worked hard, and today we will definitely reward you well."

"General Lu, you are really cruel! We are all going crazy, do you still have the time to reward me now?"

When Xiao Yichen heard that he rewarded everyone, he couldn't bear his elder sister Lin's hard work, so he immediately blamed Lu Shaoqian.

"Everyone has worked hard all the way. Ask Uncle Li to cook a few pots of pork belly and radish soup, and then fry some corn cakes."

"You don't want Sister Lin to direct the cooking?" Xiao Yichen confirmed again.

Although Lin Fuyue didn't have morning sickness yet, she couldn't smell the stewed meat, and she felt like vomiting when she smelled it.

These few days, because Lin Jingsheng is here, Lin Fuyue still cooks different delicacies for her brother every day.

Xiao Yichen followed Zhanguang, so he didn't want his sister Lin to cook for others.

Lu Shaoqian was even more reluctant. When he said to reward everyone, it was naturally Uncle Li who cooked the meals.

It was November, Lin Jingsheng and Xiao Yichen were going back to Yanjing, they sent other officials to go first.

The two of them rode to chase everyone again, but the happy time always passed quickly.

Lin Jingsheng still had to say goodbye to his sister. Originally, this time, he wanted to take Lin Fuyue back to Yanjing.

However, Lin Fuyue is pregnant, so it is inconvenient to travel far away. Besides, I don't know how the Holy Majesty will deal with Lu Shaodong's affairs.

"Yue'er, you can take care of your baby at ease. When the baby is born in August next year, my brother will come to pick you up."

"Brother, don't worry, there is Shao Qian here." Lin Fuyue waved goodbye to her brother.
