Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

"If you want to live, listen to me." Mi Yao confided with her red lips.

"Madam, please speak." The refugee leader felt that the lady did not seem to want to kill them.

"The river channel in our Liujia Village has been in disrepair for a long time. If you help to repair it, the government will provide you with three meals a day and pay you ten cents a day. Is that feasible?" This was the best way Mi Yao could think of to deal with the refugees.

"Okay, okay, just give me food." The refugee leader almost knelt down to Mi Yao.

"Tell me, who told you about my family's situation?" Mi Mo would not forgive the person who brought trouble upon himself.

"It's a woman. I wasn't at the scene, so I don't know who she is?" said the leader of the refugees.

"Jiahui, I know who it is. I saw her. Even though she covered her face, I could still see clearly. It was one of the women we robbed. I was the one who tied her up." A refugee walked out from behind.

Liu Fugui looked unhappy when he heard this.

"Uncle, I leave this matter to you. I really want to know what she wanted to do by leading the refugees to my house. She also told them that my family is full of the elderly, the weak, women and children, and that I have food, water and money. Haha." Mi Yao sneered.

Liu Fugui was extremely embarrassed.

"Mi Yao, don't worry, uncle will definitely find this person and make you apologize." Liu Fugui looked embarrassed, he felt so embarrassed.

Mi Yao curled her lips slightly. Apology? She didn't need it. She wanted her life.

"Okay, you guys go back. Someone from the yamen will come to communicate with you tomorrow. Don't harass the villagers, otherwise you know the consequences." After saying this, Mi Yao entered the yard.

The door slammed shut, blocking everyone from view.

Lang Jiahui led his people away and told everyone about Mi Yao's request. Everyone voted in favor of it. It was a bad time now and it was enough to have food to eat and survive. As for the ten cents in wages, they didn't even dare to think about it.

"Since everyone agrees, let's go to bed quickly, take care of your family members, and don't harass the villagers. Do you hear me?" Lang Jiahui's voice was slightly intimidating.

"Yes, got it!" Everyone went back to rest.

With this promise, they had hope of survival, and they slept soundly that night.

The next day, Mi Yao went to town with Daniu and the others.

"Please inform the town magistrate that Mi Yao, the wife of Ye Xiao from Liujia Village, is visiting her." Mi Yao said politely.

"Okay." The guard and Night Owl were very familiar with each other. How could they not be familiar with each other when they met every day? They also knew everything Mi Yao did.

Jin Zheng has been busy these days with the drought and refugees, but the effect is not very good. There are too many refugees, and the government has little food and reserve funds. Solving the temporary crisis of the refugees cannot save them forever. Moreover, the number of refugees is increasing, and the relief grain from the court has not arrived yet, which worries Jin Zheng very much.

"Sir, Yexiao's wife Mi Yao wants to see you." The guard hurriedly reported.

"Please." Jin Zheng sat on the chair, but not in the correct position.

"Hello, Lord Jin!" Mi Yao bowed slightly.

"Miss Mi is here, please sit down!" Jin Zheng asked someone to serve tea.

"My lord, you haven't had enough rest recently. You look very bad." Mi Yao saw that Jin Zheng had bruises under his eyes and both of his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well.

"Well, to be honest with you, Madam Mi, this year, there is a severe drought and many refugees. Even if I want to help these refugees, there is nothing I can do!" After Jin Zheng finished speaking, he could not help but shed two lines of tears. It can be seen that Jin Zheng is really worried about the people.

"Don't worry, sir. I came here today because of this matter. Yesterday, some refugees went to Liujia Village..." Mi Yao then told her about how the refugees entered Liujia Village and robbed things, went to her house in the middle of the night, and what she said to the refugee leader.

"This is Mi Niangzi's idea, but as you can see, the government office doesn't have much surplus food." Jin Zheng was at a loss.

"Sir, you don't have to worry about food, water and wages. I will take care of these. You just need to send people to communicate with the refugees. The weather will not always be like this. It will be troublesome to repair the river when the rainy season comes. Now that the river is dry, it is a good thing." Mi Yao said with a smile.

"You said you will be responsible for food, water and wages? Madam Mi, this is not a joke." Jin Zhengke didn't believe it.

"Your Excellency should know that the Limin Grain Store is opened by me. I have a large amount of grain. As for the source, you don't have to ask. I just want to do something for the people. I don't care about other things. So I have to do it in the name of you and the government." Mi Yao didn't say much.

"Since Madam Mi is serious, how can I not cooperate? Let's go now." Jin Zheng acted immediately and asked someone to arrange a carriage.

Mi Yao asked people to go to Liming Grain Store to fetch food and water an hour later.

All of this was prepared by Mi Yao in advance.

The carriage was rumbling along the country road. At this moment, the village chief Liu Fugui and the refugees were standing on both sides of the road, looking forward to it.

"Here it comes." Someone with sharp eyes saw the carriage from a distance.

Lang Jiahui was also extremely excited, as this was the hope of their village.

The carriage approached and stopped. Jin Zheng, the lawyer, and Mi Yao got off.

"Greetings, sir." Liu Fugui came over and saluted.

The refugees also knelt down quickly and said, "Greetings, sir. Please save our lives."

"Everyone, get up and let your village chief come over to answer the call." Jin Zhengdao said.

Lang Jiahui came over.

"Sir, I am the acting village chief of Langjia Village in Langtou County. My father was the village chief. A few days ago, my father passed away while fleeing. So I temporarily took over as the village chief." Lang Jiahui's eyes turned red when he mentioned his old father.

"Ah, it's all caused by natural disasters. Since you are the village chief, just continue to do your job. Today I came to talk to you about Yizhen's replacement work."

"If you build a river for the village, we will provide you with three meals a day, plus ten cents per person as wages. If you agree, register everyone's name, including those who can work. The elderly, the weak, women and children will also be provided with three meals a day." Jin Zheng saw the momentary worry in Lang Jiahui's eyes just now.

"Yes, sir, we agree."

So Lang Jiahui asked everyone to stand in line and the master started the registration.

When everything was ready, two horse-drawn carriages came on the village road, one carrying food and the other carrying pots and pans.

The yamen runners helped to set up the pots and stoves and unloaded a hundred bags of rice, which were distributed per person. In the end, this provided enough food for the five or six hundred people for half a month.

When the young and old women in Langjia Village saw the rice, they knelt on the ground and cried.

"Everyone, stop crying and take a rest for two days. There is a forest here. You can cut down some trees and build some simple houses. After all, we have elderly people and children here." Jin Zheng's eyes were also red. He also saw several skinny pregnant women.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The people of Langjia Village kowtowed continuously.

Jin Zheng was somewhat flattered, after all, these achievements were not his.

"Sir, this is what my master asked me to bring." Hou Yuanxuan brought over a box.
