Quickly wear the boss and don’t be cannon fodder

Except for the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who are unable to work, who receive a bowl of porridge every day, everyone else must work to receive food.

Of course, the jobs varied from county to county; some people not only received food but also wages.

It's not to say that all jobs are just two bowls of porridge.

Four or five more days passed, and the number of refugees received by Yunzhou gradually decreased, until eventually there were almost none left.

This is far fewer than the million refugees in the original story. The female lead, Liu Yunyan, and the male lead, Leng Jingnian, were a little curious as to why there were suddenly fewer refugees.

Later, I heard that all the prefects and governors who had been inactive were all taken down by a mysterious person.

Faced with absolute power, even the highest-ranking official would value their life.

Furthermore, the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain donated by that mysterious tycoon can completely solve the problem of food shortages for the refugees.

The next step is simply to address the issue of post-disaster reconstruction.

Moreover, it is said that the magistrate of Yunfeng County, which is under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, obtained many superior seeds from merchants of Mu State. These superior seeds have been reported to the imperial court, and the court has also sent people down to check on the planting of the superior seeds.

The drought that had been a major headache for the imperial court suddenly seemed to have become much easier to solve.

Liu Yunyan and Leng Jingnian never intended to change the dynasty; it was simply a matter of the times creating heroes. Now that the court is actively addressing the disaster victims, they are quite happy to be able to relax.

Only occasionally, when I dream in the middle of the night, do I feel a sense of unreality.

There's always this misconception that things shouldn't unfold this way.

Seeing that the improved seedlings were growing well, and witnessing how the various prefectures were helping the refugees and resolving the aftermath in an orderly manner, Su Yan then piloted her spaceship directly back to the mountains.

Almost a month had passed since she left the mountain, and the food and salt on the mountain were almost gone.

Of course, there was some wild boar meat that had been marinated before, so it wasn't lacking in salt.

Su Yan returned pushing a cart loaded with two hundred catties of salt and four hundred catties of coarse grains.

No one expected that she could buy so much grain on her way down the mountain. You have to know that the price of grain has been driven up to the sky. Moreover, how could she bring back so much grain safely by herself?

Madam Guo knew Su Yan's capabilities, but she was still very curious about how she brought back so much grain.

"It's nothing. Things aren't as chaotic outside as they were before. Various prefectures and counties have started disaster relief efforts, and the people are barely able to eat thin porridge. Naturally, no one is coming to steal my food."

Everyone was shocked to hear this. There were refugees who had come up the mountain before, but they just hadn't found their village.

How could it be that less than a month has passed and those officials have suddenly started managing the refugees? If they had taken them in earlier, so many people wouldn't have gone to other prefectures.

"Really? Does that mean we should consider returning to our hometown? Or going to a nearby prefecture?" Zhang Gang and the others asked somewhat uneasily.

Su Yan shook his head: "Things haven't completely stabilized yet, so we can wait a bit longer. Anyway, the mountain has already been cleared, and we have food and drink, so there's no rush. Those refugees who have been settled still need to work hard to clear land and cultivate the land. We're already one step ahead, so there's no need for us to go down the mountain."

Everyone agreed that this made sense, and besides, the crops they had just planted were growing well, so they were reluctant to leave.

Su Yan also brought back 100 jin of high-quality seeds and instructed them to continue cultivating the land and plant the seeds they had brought back.

They really didn't expect that Su Yan, a woman, could bring back so many things.

On the contrary, Guo Niangzi and others never questioned Su Yan's abilities.

When the three Su sisters saw Su Yan, their eyes also reddened. They longed for their mother's early return every day, but they were also worried that something might have happened to her outside. Several times, the three sisters wanted to go down the mountain to look for Su Yan, but they were persuaded by Madam Guo to stop them from rushing out to look for her.

Su Yan led the three sisters back to their room, and then, as if by magic, pulled out a lot of hair ties and hair clips that children like from her bosom.

They gave each of them one, and also brought back two new outfits and embroidered shoes for them.

Wow, I have new clothes to wear!

"My new embroidered shoes are so beautiful."

"Mine too, I like it the most, thank you, Mom." The eldest child thanked Su Yan obediently.

Upon seeing this, the two younger sisters hurriedly pledged their loyalty to Su Yan, as they had never worn such new clothes in their lives.

They used to wear their older cousins' hand-me-downs.

Even the three sisters didn't have shoes. It was the original owner who saw how much work they did and wove a pair of shoes for each of them out of grass.

Later, when they fled to the mountains, Su Yan didn't have time to make shoes for them. The three sisters were still wearing straw sandals, which were already in terrible condition. So, Guo Niangzi and the others made a pair for each of them.

Nowadays, if someone gets a pair of embroidered shoes, they are reluctant to wear them and wish they could hold them in their arms all the time.

He touched the new clothes again and again, as if they would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Su Yan didn't concern himself with how to allocate the grain or how to plant the improved varieties.

She had already given the planting guidelines to Guo Niangzi, who happened to be literate. With her overseeing the rest, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The wild boar piglets we caught last time are growing well; at least none of them died, which is largely due to the presence of their mothers.

Su Yan boiled water for the three sisters to bathe and even used soap.

Looking at the foam on her clothes, Daya exclaimed in delight, "Mom, what is this? It makes me so clean and smells so good!"

Su Yan lied without hesitation: "Mother bought it in the prefecture. She thought it was novel and bought it. Don't follow others. Mother didn't buy much, so it's not enough to share."

"Okay, okay, we promise we won't tell."

Su Yan helped the three sisters take a bath, and they changed into new clothes and shoes. They also styled their hair into cute ram's horn buns, making them look like lucky charms.

When the three sisters went out, everyone in the village praised them for being adorable.

Not to mention the children being jealous, even the adults were a little envious. Although they have settled down now, they don't have a single decent piece of clothing.

Su Yan seemed to sense everyone's eagerness and said to them, "Next time, if more people go, we can bring back more supplies. Then everyone will have new clothes to wear."

The mountain stronghold was not short of money; the bandits still had plenty of gold and silver jewelry they had previously robbed, enough for them to buy a lot of things from the nearby prefecture.

Looking at the potatoes among the grain seeds, Madam Guo asked with some confusion, "What are these? I've never seen them before?"

"Oh, these are potatoes from the Mu Kingdom. They grow very well, produce a lot, and have a short maturation period; they can be eaten in two to three months."

"Really? Then I'll get someone to plant it right away. It really doesn't care about the soil?"

"Anyway, sandy loam, loam, sandy soil, and heavy clay soil can all be planted, as long as they have good drainage and aeration."

"Ok, I see."

Su Yan's trip was quite fruitful, and some people even considered going down the mountain.
