After resting at the inn for one night, the next day we started to move food in the coolness of the early morning. There is more than one granary in the town, and Lu Xiao collected more than half of the granary in each granary under the pretext of checking. Such a large amount of food not only alleviated the previous consumption of rice and noodles, but the rest was enough to feed thousands of people for another two years. This also made Lu Xiao's heart that was hanging in the air instantly drop to the ground. With these grains, the speed of rebuilding the county will be much faster.

"Accompany me to the cloth shop. I remember some cloths are very good." Lu Xiao took Chang An and the two children out of the granary, where Shi Lei took care of it temporarily. Shi Lei is honest, they still trust him.

The huge town is empty, and it can't help but make people feel gloomy. Chang An led the two children with mixed feelings in his heart. That day when Lu Xiao was preparing for the exam, he was still imagining how great it would be if he could come to the town for a stroll one day. Now it really came, but such a desolate scene. Such prosperity can only be left in a dream...

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Xiao picked up a piece of fine silk gauze and looked at it carefully. As the weather got hotter, there were more mosquitoes. The adults in the family could still sit still, but the children grinned from being bitten by bugs.

"I used to fantasize about whether my husband would bring me to the town to see if I was nominated for the gold list one day, but now I come..." Changan was not very interested in the various fabrics in front of him. Wearing exquisite fabrics has lost the initial enthusiasm.

"It will always pass, and then I will show you the lantern." Lu Xiao understood Chang'an's regret and said as if he promised. Divided the fabric into roughly 100% and picked two ready-made garments for the children, and asked them to change them later.

After all, it is a child, and it is full of joy after changing into new clothes. Looking at the innocent smiling faces around him who seemed to have no trace of worries and worries, Chang An's brows and eyes became more gentle.

"Silk brocades are usually expensive, but up to now they are not as practical as pure cotton." Chang'an piled up high-quality cotton cloth one by one, and watched people put them into the space steadily.

"Most expensive things are delicate and delicate, so we can't stand the harsh environment now." Lu Xiao nodded in agreement, then swept all the packed fabrics into the space, and told the two children not to speak out. The two children naturally nodded obediently, pulling on the new clothes and looking left and right, not to mention how cute they are.

In addition to collecting fabrics, Lu Xiao also took away a large amount of carbon fire, which was enough to survive the long winter. Taking away all the things that can be preserved in the town for a long time, this time Lu Xiao has made up his mind to quickly expand his power, so this search is naturally merciless.

By the time Lu Xiao finished shopping around with Chang'an, the bodyguard team had already loaded up the food and waited at the gate of the granary. Shi Lei has already checked the firmness of the hemp rope, and he can leave when Lu Xiao comes back.

The way back was very peaceful, and when refugees approached by chance, they were allowed to go to the county seat by themselves. Wei Xun has already set up a shed in the county to supervise the work. Although most of the refugees who seek refuge now are scattered, the accumulation is objective.

Lu Xiao's biggest requirement for everyone who works in the Lu family is to be strict in speech. Now, no one except his own people knows that Lu Xiao is actually rebuilding the county.
