The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night
Chapter 264: Visitors from Gujia Village
Thinking of this, a determined expression appeared on Su Yunyi's face!
"Your Highness, I have prepared a banquet to welcome you. Please come to my humble abode and have a simple meal first."
Zhang Yi spoke to Feng Junqi with a fawning look on his face, and the county magistrates behind him all nodded in agreement.
Su Yunyi had been a social animal in his previous life, and in this life he had been keeping a low profile in the inner house of the Su family. Now, seeing a group of officials from Deng nodding and bowing to him, he felt very happy.
So this is what it feels like to have power!
She likes this feeling of being on top!
....
Yanjing City
Every household was distributed medicinal herbs and food, and everyone seemed to have rekindled their hope for life.
They gathered at the entrance and end of the village and talked about it.
"I heard that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are still distributing medicine and food today. Let's go get them!"
A woman made an excited suggestion, and as soon as she finished speaking, someone mocked her:
"You are the only one who can do this! If you could lead us, we would have lined up long ago. Who would be squatting here?"
"That's right! Today, the money was distributed to farmers in the villages outside the city. A distant relative of mine came here to line up at midnight today! He was the first one to come because I sent him a letter early!"
"The food they gave us is not enough for us to eat!"
"You wouldn't just cook the white rice! That's polished rice! Even when there's no disaster, we wouldn't dare eat it like that. At home, we mix it with wild vegetables and tree bark."
A toothless old lady looked at the person who was speaking with some shock.
The uneasy woman waved her hands after hearing this:
"Oh my! Who would be willing to cook only the rarest of dishes these days? I also cook them mixed with other dishes at home!"
"Hey? Did you know that the prince said he wanted to recruit laborers, saying it wasn't corvée labor, but some kind of work-for-relief program? My wife signed up at dawn today!"
"My husband is gone too!"
"Hey? We have never heard of work-for-relief!"
"I think the prince must have felt that conscription at this time would be bad for his reputation, so he changed the name to work-for-relief, which is probably conscription!"
"Who says it's not true? Just conscript them. If someone goes out to work, the government will give him a stutter anyway. At least there's one less mouth to feed at home!"
Several women and old ladies were wrapping themselves tightly in their clothes and gossiping at the door of their house.
Normally they should stay in the house to keep warm, but with such a big thing happening in Yanjing City, they would feel uncomfortable and uneasy if they didn't come out to gossip!
A group of women were whispering to each other, when suddenly they saw their men coming back with excitement on their faces and they hurried to greet them!
"Boss, what's wrong?!"
"We are saved! The prince said that anyone who goes to work can exchange their work points for silver or grain, and they can choose whether to have rice or wheat!"
A tall, dark-skinned man looked at his wife excitedly and said!
"I calculated that one person can get at least half a liter of food a day!"
Another man who was also thin and pale also spoke to his wife with excitement!
Their children are saved and will not starve to death!
"Is this true? There is such a good thing in the world! The imperial court is really not conscripting people for forced labor?!"
An old man asked nervously, holding his son's hand tremblingly.
"Dad, it's true! The prince said that from now on, our Yanjing City will never impose corvée labor, and if the court needs us to work, we will be paid!"
Suddenly the crowd started to make noise again!
They all grabbed the people around them in disbelief to confirm whether it was true!
After a while, even though Feng Junyi, the real owner, was not here at the moment, some people had already started kneeling down and kowtowed to him!
She was muttering to herself, asking all the gods to bless their prince with a long life!
At this moment, there were also a large number of people gathered in front of the Prince's Mansion, but today's people looked more miserable than the ordinary people in the city yesterday!
Taking into account the actual situation of these country people, Xie Yiyao temporarily decided to give each of them two liters of grain.
In fact, it’s not that she doesn’t have enough food and can’t give more. To be honest, the food in her spiritual plant space is piled up like a mountain and she can’t distribute it all.
But she had experienced the end of the world and was well aware of people's bad nature. She couldn't let these people rely on the government for everything.
This is not a good thing for them, as it can easily make them lazy and unambitious. How can society develop if this is the case?
There is hope only if people take action!
Besides, if they are abandoned by the government one day, they will have no way out.
Although she knew that she would never give up on these ordinary people, she couldn't predict what would happen in the future.
Despite the powerful plot force, she still couldn't escape the fate of being cannon fodder in the end.
Then these ordinary people will be like ants in troubled times, drifting with the tide, like duckweed with nowhere to rely on.
She couldn't save people and ended up hurting people!
Xie Yiyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were only a few people left. She had been busy for several days and could finally finish her work. She was really exhausted!
Suddenly, Xie Yiyao saw a group of people running towards them, supporting each other!
Some people even fell because they walked too fast!
The people next to him quickly pulled him up and supported him as they continued to run towards Xie Yiyao.
Xie Yiyao looked at the person who came and was shocked. Isn’t this someone from Gujia Village?
"Yaoya...Crown Princess, I...we..."
Gu Dechang stood in front of Xie Yiyao at a loss, not knowing how to start the conversation.
At this moment, Zhang Zhongdan walked over quickly, holding a case file in his hand and handed it to Xie Yiyao, saying:
"Crown Princess, I didn't want to let them into the city, but they said they are from the same hometown as you. I looked at the files and found that although they are far away from Yanjing, they are indeed under the jurisdiction of Yanjing."
"Crown Princess, are we too late? Can't we get food and medicine today?"
A haggard old man was looking at Xie Yiyao with a sad face.
Xie Yiyao recognized him immediately; this old man was Gu Daniu, his grandfather's childhood friend.
"Grandpa Gu, how come you've become so thin?"
Xie Yiyao asked with some confusion.
"Ah! Daniu is also unlucky. He caught a cold right after winter came. Now he is almost half dead!"
Seeing this, Gu Dechang quickly explained on behalf of Gu Daniu.
"Liuyan, go ask Bao Ting to make some arrangements and get them some hot meals."
After hearing what Gu Dechang said, Xie Yiyao didn't say anything else, but turned to Liuyan and said.
After saying that, he thought for a while and turned to Nan Xu.
"Nan Xu, go find Shi Nie and ask him to arrange a place for the people in Gujia Village to live."
After hearing these two sentences from Xie Yiyao, the people in Gujia Village, who had been tense and anxious, suddenly calmed down. Their expressions softened a lot, and some men even began to wipe away their tears.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but only until they are sad.
They have tried very hard to survive, but God doesn't give them a chance to live!
Xie Yiyao took Gu Daniu's pulse. Gu Daniu had been ill for too long and had developed many complications. Fortunately, he came today. If he had delayed for a few more days, he would probably have died!
Xie Yiyao was a little angry and said to Gu Dechang:
"Grandpa Gu, why don't you go to the capital to look for my grandfather? It's close to Gujia Village. Look at what you have become now!"
Gu Dechang listened and said in a hesitant tone:
"I was thinking that Brother Ming is having a hard time after just moving to the capital. I heard that the prices in the capital are very high! Besides, the whole village is in this situation. How can Brother Ming help?"
