Chapter 154 A Stable Life
When Liu Rumei said that they couldn't meet, Doctor Sun thought she was joking, but he didn't expect it to be true.
He also didn't expect that Liu Rumei had expanded the place so much.
They are responsible for different villages, and there are actually seven or eight villages here.
This made Doctor Sun couldn't help but sigh, it's great to be rich!
If there is no money, it is impossible to accommodate so many people, let alone provide them with food and farm tools.
That’s right, Liu Rumei’s arrangements were made step by step.
On the first day the victims arrived, Liu Rumei gave them food and thatched houses.
But starting from the second day, things changed.
The next day, the village chief got up early and walked around the surrounding area. This was where they would settle in the future, so he had to take a look.
Although I was still very tired after walking for so long, I had to take a look to feel at ease.
Among so many people, there were still many smart ones, and they all arrived at the fields early.
Because of this, they witnessed an unforgettable scene.
At this moment, Master Dong was training his men. Thousands of people were training together. Although there was no sound of fighting, the momentum was really scary.
What these people were holding were not sticks, but spears, which were only available in the military.
The village chief and a few others looked at each other, not daring to say much or ask more questions, but they couldn't help but wonder whether they could also learn these self-defense skills in the future.
After they got into trouble this time, they realized how important it was to have some self-defense skills.
If you have abilities and martial arts skills, you won't be bullied so badly.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel that life has a little more to look forward to, as if farming is not the only thing.
When the smoke from the cooking stove started to rise, the big bell at the entrance of the village rang. It was still day for free porridge.
Not only the monks are still there, but the villagers are too.
Women from several villages came to help spontaneously, either making porridge or washing dishes. Compared to the indifference of the people in the city, the villagers seemed warm and thoughtful.
Not only that, they all had smiles on their faces, without any sadness at all, as if they were very happy living here.
Some women with big reputations volunteered to help with the work. Although they were fleeing famine, they did not want to live off the fat of the land.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. You've been busy running around for us, and you've delayed the housework!"
The refugees said so, and the villagers were even more simple-minded.
"Oh, that's not necessary. We are all from the same village now, so we should help each other if we can.
Besides, the food was bought by the eldest girl. The most we can do is help with some work, which is nothing.
And our eldest daughter is a very kind person. She let us farm and paid us a lot of wages. We are very grateful and happy to be able to do something for her!"
This made the refugees more curious, and they couldn't help but want to ask more.
"You don't know, this area is all the land of the eldest daughter of the Liu family. It was a wasteland before, and we helped to open it up.
We had a hard life in the past, because the previous county magistrate was not a good man. It was only after the eldest girl and the prince taught him a lesson that things changed.
Besides, the girl is very generous. We help with farming and can earn one or two taels of silver each a month!
This is impossible no matter where we are. We are just lucky to have met such a kind-hearted person like the eldest girl.
But then again, you are also lucky to have met the prince and our girl. You have good days ahead of you!"
When everyone heard this, they understood what was going on.
This girl is a generous person and she is not short of money. It can even be said that she doesn't care about money.
There are some rules for distributing porridge, and most of them are made of coarse grains to save money. But this girl is kind-hearted, and she gave them fine grains to eat, and let them eat their fill!
Men and women got the same food, each with a bowl of thick rice porridge, and the children were given eggs. They didn’t eat so well even when their lives were good before!
Because of this, they firmly believed that they would have food to eat if they followed Liu Rumei!
So after breakfast, everyone happily began to divide the thatched houses, and then went home with the food rations for each household.
They suddenly felt that there was hope in this day.
But they are not heartless people. These dozens of leaders went to see Liu Rumei.
They had to tell the girl that they were obedient and willing to serve.
Liu Rumei looked at the person in front of her and looked at him carefully.
"You followed the prince to escape famine, and the prince recognized you, so I naturally believe in the prince's vision.
From now on, you are still responsible for the people who came before you, and it is the same as it was on the road.
But now we don’t have to travel, so just focus on farming. If he performs well, I will let him join the guard team or our workshop.”
These words made everyone even more excited. If their positions were saved, would they become the Marquis's confidants in the future?
Another point, why is there a guard team and why is there a workshop!
"You may not know my daughter. She is a lady from a wealthy family, but my grandfather's family is the richest in Jiangnan, so there is naturally room for everyone."
When everyone heard what Pearl said, they suddenly realized.
No wonder, no wonder this girl is so rich!
“Don’t worry, young lady. Since we are following you, we will definitely not do anything to disappoint you.
From today on, we are the subordinates of the girl and the prince. We will do whatever the girl and the prince ask us to do, even if it costs us our lives!"
Look, this kind of promise is quite good and sounds very pleasing to Liu Rumei.
Moreover, these people were extremely hard-working. They cleaned up their homes and watered the fields in the evening.
We are all hardworking people. Even in our hometown, we cannot bear to see the yard dirty and the fields left barren. We would feel sad when we see it.
Now, the yard is new and there are so many fields, so everyone can clean them up bit by bit.
It’s strange to say, but in just two days, they have already regarded this place as their home, living here peacefully and contentedly, feeling that everything is full of hope.
When this news reached the emperor, he frowned slightly and found it unbelievable.
"You mean the Prince Xian has arranged everything? The victims are outside the imperial city now?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the prince has made proper arrangements this time. I heard that there are tens of thousands of acres of wasteland outside the city, and now the prince has arranged for people to work on them."
The emperor frowned again, looking very unhappy.
He ordered the disaster victims to move south, but Prince Xian arranged a place for them.
Isn't this a provocation!
How could a prince challenge his authority?
He could order people to drive the victims away right now, but he couldn't do that!
As an emperor, what he cares about most is his reputation.
If he didn't care, he could just be a tyrant. Why would he bother doing these things?
