[BL] I'm Married to the God of War

Chapter 47

After a while, Chu Yan came over and said, "Little general, Shizi, the common people are all waiting to see the distribution of food."

    Shen Kuo said, "Let's go out."

    Su Muqian nodded.

    When I got to the door, I saw that the ten workers had changed into new clothes. I came here to work in the past two months, and was talked about by the people in the county.

    When they go to work, they provide one meal a day, they can't take out, they can eat as much as they want. Just saying that makes me envious.

    They can also pay for food in advance, borrow some food before the work is done, and have never seen such a reliable owner.

    The first time the grain distribution side was surrounded by water, it was the same this time.

    Shen Kuo and the others went out, looking at these workers dressed in decent clothes, holding their chests up and looking up in awe.

.The people in the county also knew who Shen Kuo was, and when they saw that he was directly seeking a position, they asked, "Is Shizi still hiring?"

    The eyes of the people around were also brightly waiting for Shen Kuo's answer. Shen Kuo said: "You have to ask the shopkeeper about this. I'm here to share the food today."

    Then the people in the house moved the food out. It was originally a private matter in the store, but seeing everyone was so curious, they simply moved in.

    Shen Kuo said: "Everyone has worked hard for a month, this is your reward."

    These laborers knew the identity of the prince, and they couldn't be more excited to talk to such a big man.

    Mr. Qing called his name and went in, first to check whether he had borrowed food this month, check the amount, and then let him make a fingerprint, and then he could take the food home. .Today's distribution of food, specifically to give the workers a day's rest, and then to work again tomorrow.

    Soon these people were called into the house one after another, and then came out to carry food.

    The people around looked hot, but they really saw it, and there was real food in it.

    Many people in the crowd regretted: "I knew I would sign up."

    "So much food, enough to eat for a while."

    Others stopped the workers who were carrying grain and asked if they could change eggs and cloth.

    All the food here is new. If you use new grains to simmer a meal of rice, let alone how fragrant it is.

    Soon these people returned one after another.

    Shen Kuo continued: "It's a good time to come here today. We still have a batch of potatoes to sell at a penny a pound.Then I asked someone to take the potatoes out of the yard.

    Potatoes are not cheap for a penny a pound. But when the onlookers saw the size of the potato, they were instantly excited. Such a big potato had never been seen before.

    Potatoes can be used as a vegetable or a meal, but it is much cheaper than buying grain.

    Immediately surrounded him: "I'll pick a few."

    "I want a few too."

    Those who didn't bring money hurriedly went back to marry the money, and the crowd gathered around all of a sudden.

    Shen Kuo hurriedly protected Su Muqian backwards, and only let Lan Ting and Qin Da follow, and the rest let them maintain order and help.

    Many people started to buy one after another, and soon even the county magistrate came out and sent yamen to maintain it, and the people on the scene quickly sold out the potatoes.

    Everyone takes as much as possible. .At the beginning, I was able to pick the good and the bad, but then I had to pick it up quickly, and the ones under the eyelids of the province were taken away by others.

    Feiyun City does not produce grain, and many grains are brought back from outside. The only thing these people are willing to do is to spend money on food.

    The county magistrate said to Shen Kuo: "It's still a big disturbance from the prince."

    Shen Kuo said: "Give some benefits to the common people." This is very true. Shen Kuo is considered a rich man in the capital, and the three melons and two dates he earns from selling potatoes are not enough for him to squander it alone, but this time the potatoes are rich. The success of the trial planting means very different things to him.

    It was tested that this imported variety from Fanwai has high cold resistance and high yield. I heard that the Zhang brothers have planted potatoes in half of their fields. According to this, they can produce three crops a year. In this way, ordinary people can also get benefits, at least let people fill their stomachs first.

.The county magistrate quickly realized what was going on, and admired Shen Kuo more and more.

    When the county magistrate saw that the order here was restored, he was about to leave, and said, "Master Shi, next time you have anything to do, you can directly notify the yamen, lest there are fewer people here and it will be inconvenient to do things!"

    "In this case, I would like to thank the county magistrate." Shen Kuo said.

    Then he personally sent the county magistrate to the door.

    At the door of the shop, I saw many people who hadn't bought potatoes and were reluctant to leave. They didn't bring any money just now. Before he could squeeze in, it was announced that it was sold out.

    My dear, there is not a single fool in the county who immediately rushed to buy food when they saw food, for fear that the shop would disappear after crossing the street.

.Shen Kuo knew that there were still some potatoes in the ground that had not been dug, and there were quite a few, and said, "You don't need to rob them, we have planted a lot, and we will sell them outside the shop when the time comes."

    When the people heard it, they were relieved. I wanted to say a few more words to the gentle prince, but suddenly everyone ran away. The place that was crowded just now was instantly empty.

    Shen Kuo said: "What happened?"

    Qin Da followed Shen Kuo's side, glanced at it, and said, "The battle flag has been raised on the city wall of Shizi. It seems that an enemy army is attacking." Feiyun City has been fighting all year round, and the people in the city have been trained long ago. Once you see the battle flag raised, it means that the enemy has reached a place thirty kilometers away.

    Su Muqian saw the battle flag and said, "I'll go back to the military camp."

    Just as he was about to leave, Shen Kuo stopped him and said, "You are inconvenient now. . . Follow me back to the General's Mansion first, ask about the situation first, and then make plans! "

    Su Muqian was in a hurry just now, and he forgot about his current situation. After being reminded by Shen Kuo, he came back to his senses and said, "Okay."

    Seeing this, they didn't have time to stay, so they hurriedly returned to the General's Mansion. As soon as they got back, they saw that the adjutant was already here waiting for Shen Kuo and them, and said, "The Xiongnu thieves are immortal, and they have assembled an army of 20,000 to besiege Feiyun City. The general tells you to rest assured. The weapons of the army this time are different from the past. They were not opponents in the past, and they are not opponents now! During the war, the city will be under control, and General Su can ensure the safety of Feiyun City, as long as you take care of yourself. "

    Shen Kuo said: "It's hard work. I still have 5,000 catties of military rations to assist General Su. I wish you victory."

    The adjutant was here to spread the word. I didn't expect Shen Kuo to be so arrogant, and food was the top priority during the war. .With Shen Kuo's assistance, they are not afraid!

    Back in the mansion, Shen Kuo saw an old man, standing there in a busy year. It was a good year when he spent 10,000 gold to buy firearms overseas. When he saw Shen Kuo, he felt a little excited: "I traveled day and night to rush back. Dishonoring the mission." Before Feng Nian arrived in Feiyun City, he found that the city gate was closed and entered a wartime state.
