Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince
Chapter 233 The Quiet Change of Wind Direction
As acre after acre of wheat matures, the autumn harvest officially begins.
"Guard Ji, I'm sorry to bother you for the next few months." Qiao Shinian looked at the cold-faced man in front of him and spoke softly with a hint of entrustment: "If anything really happens, you need to protect the children first."
Just two days ago, Yingzhu and others asked for leave, and Mo Yang, who had never been seen, appeared in front of Qiao Shinian.
Before Qiao Shinian could say anything, he told her the purpose of his visit, which was that only three of the secret guards around Qiao Shinian would be left to protect her safety, and the rest would need to leave with him for training for a few months before coming back.
"We should be able to come back before the New Year." Mo Yang said so. When he looked at Qiao Shinian, his eyes were complicated, but he explained respectfully: "Our last order was to protect your safety, but the secret guards have been outside for a long time, and the intensity of training is not enough. When encountering a major crisis, we may not be able to exert our absolute strength to protect you, so we need to train regularly.
This time we are indeed in a hurry, but I have investigated Yun County and there is no one who can threaten you recently. Of course, during our training, if unknown dangerous people rush into Yun County, we will immediately return to Yun County to protect your safety. "
Qiao Shinian looked at Mo Yang. She thought she would see him when He Huan met her, but she never expected that Mo Yang only showed up once to say that he had arrived and then disappeared.
"Mu Qingchen... did he leave any last words for me?" Qiao Shinian called out to Mo Yang who was about to leave. She stared at him closely. He was the last person to stay with Mu Qingchen, and he was the one who knew everything about Mu Qingchen best.
The memories that had been forgotten and the heart that was about to calm down finally gave rise to an unprecedented desire after seeing Mo Yang. She wanted to know that she was not the one abandoned by Mu Qingchen.
She always felt that she was abandoned by Mu Qingchen, and all her confidence and faith were shattered after she learned of Mu Qingchen's death.
Mo Yang looked at Qiao Shinian in silence, sadness in his eyes: "He didn't leave a message for you, but the last thing he said was, 'Things in the world are never as we wish. I thought I was redeemed. But...'"
"Just what?!" Qiao Shinian asked anxiously.
Mo Yang shook his head: "The prince left before he finished speaking. But the prince once told me that he hoped we would live in the new world you created. He believed that you were a strong and gentle person, and that the new world you created must be beautiful. He once longed to meet you again in your world.
Therefore, our duty is to protect you until you have completed your transformation of this world. Before that, we will do everything in our power to protect you."

"Okay, let's start working!" At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Shinian brought the children to the rice and wheat fields where Wen Jiu and his friends were.
"Girl, can I have watermelon tonight?"
"Can we have a bonfire here tonight?"
The children all blinked their eyes and asked Qiao Shinian about the activities that could be held after the rice harvest was finished.
"Of course! Be careful and don't hurt yourself or others. Also, if anyone fights, that team will be disqualified from running for the outstanding team this month." Qiao Shinian waved his hand and announced the official start of rice harvesting.
"Ms. Qiao, why do you want them to come over?" Ji Lanzhou was puzzled. Normally, Qiao Shinian was very kind to these children.
Qiao Shinian looked back in confusion and asked, "Why don't you let them come to work?"
"They are all students and scholars." Ji Lanzhou answered without thinking.
"So we should just focus on reading books of sages and ignore what's happening outside?" Qiao Shinian asked back.
Ji Lanzhou nodded.
Qiao Shinian wanted to say something, but finally shut up, picked up the sickle and joined the working team.
The children were of different ages. The younger ones were at the back sorting out the wheat that the children in front had harvested.
The whole process was very harmonious and the children cooperated very well.
Qiao Shinian also wanted her child to study hard in the yard with peace of mind. Finally, she remembered what Wen Jiu said.
'Sister, this place is different from your place. There is not as much idealism as you think in your heart, so you need to lower your idealism and focus on the overall environment and practical life.'
At this moment, she suddenly understood why modern society has so many exams and so-called "crazy education" as the basis for this.
She feels that exams and internal competition are suitable for this era. Given the social background of this era, social resources are not saturated, and there is no need to worry too much about being oppressed by the powerful for the time being.
What about modern society? Why do most people choose to lie down? Life is stressful, wealth is once again owned by a few people, and people are no longer starving to death due to the openness of ideas, advanced technology, and the development of agriculture. However, farmers will never live a good life by farming.
Qiao Shinian found that her thoughts had strayed. She was still in an era when people could not even get enough food to eat and when people would kill for a piece of bread during famine, wondering why modern people would choose to lie down.
She looked around and saw that the people were all wearing short clothes and straw sandals. Some people were not even wearing shoes, and their clothes were patched up like a piece of patchwork cloth.
Cao Yue and Cao Jinhua were naturally also in the harvest team. Thinking that the wheat would be turned into their favorite oil-splashed noodles in the future, they became excited and bent down to work without caring about their image.
The early rice and early wheat have entered the harvest period. The whole Yun County has become busy and there are almost no idle people on the streets.
After the early rice and early wheat are harvested, the fields can be tidyed up and another wave of late wheat can be planted, and then rapeseed can be started.
This year’s harvest should ensure that the entire Yun County has no shortage of food, and there may even be enough surplus to support several neighboring counties.
What Qiao Shinian is more worried about is the flood in Yunzhou. Yunzhou has suffered floods for two consecutive years. He wondered whether the river channels and canals that Wen Jiu had people build before would be useful?
The golden wheat fields made everyone happy. The wheat ears were full and the grains were top-quality food. During the harvest, the people of Yun County were also spreading the news that Wen Jiu was favored by the goddess.
As long as Wen Jiu was there, they could harvest this kind of food every year.
Many people even think that they will be able to buy back the land for three or two taels of silver in five years, and after buying the land, they will be able to grow such good crops at home.
In the joy of the harvest, everyone's fear of Wen Jiu decreased and their awe of him increased.
Human beings are imaginative animals in nature. They can imagine a sweet future even in the midst of suffering. Wen Jiu seems to have given them hope. As long as they see a little hope, people of this era will grow like weeds encountering water and light.
As long as those who are not hopeless and overly desperate see hope in this harvest that seems to have nothing to do with them, they will be full of beautiful imaginations about the future.
They thought that perhaps Wen Jiu could feed them and stop them from suffering from hunger. As long as they kept the food, they would no longer starve to death on the streets.
In the past few months, the people working under Wen Jiu have indeed not experienced the same hunger as before.
When Qiao Shinian was out of sight, the people of Yun County began to have hope in Wen Jiu.
As long as they followed Wen Jiu's instructions, they would not starve. This idea gradually entered the minds of the people of Yun County.
Wen Jiu only killed those corrupt officials, those corrupt rich people, and those who were causing trouble and wanted to rebel against Wen Jiu.
Many people have heard this rumor, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems that the rumor is true.
