There is no need to ask in detail. Just looking at Magistrate Lu's expression, we can tell that he has tried to do this but encountered great difficulties.

Ye Guo had anticipated this situation, so he continued, "Brother Lu, what do you think of the longevity monument at the entrance of the village?"

Although Magistrate Lu didn't understand why the conversation ended up going off on a tangent, as a normal Daqing citizen, he was very happy that Yejia Village had erected a longevity monument for Ye Guo.

To be honest, it’s impossible not to be envious.

So Magistrate Lu said sourly, "The monument of immortality can last forever. The generations to come in Yejia Village will remember you."

"So, do many people want to get this honor?" Ye Guo asked.

"Of course, but this longevity monument is never erected just like that." Magistrate Lu answered as a matter of course.

People need to know how to be flexible.

Ye Guo smiled and said, "Then, if we erect a stele at the entrance to Changhua County, we don't need an immortal stele, an ordinary stone stele will do. The names of the wealthy families in the city will be engraved on it, and the amount of money and grain they donated will be engraved at the back. The more they donated, the higher the name will be."

"In this way, everyone who comes in and out of Changhua will know how generous they are. Do you think those rich people will be willing to pay for a seat?"

The more Ye Guo spoke, the brighter Magistrate Lu's eyes became. In the end, he was so eager to return home that he wanted to ask the wealthy families in the city to chase after him and give him money.

As for whether a monument can be erected at the gate of a county town? If there is a law prohibiting it, then it is allowed.

With Ye Guo as the backer and the Grand Master backing them up, this is a good way to save the people from dire straits.

It must be done immediately.

Ye Guo naturally would not keep anyone alive. If the rich families in the city donated money and food one day earlier, perhaps they could have saved one more person.

After seeing off Magistrate Lu, Ye Guo returned home and asked where Ye Lu and Ye Mu were going.

I missed the two little ones so much after not seeing them for so long. But I came back early yesterday, and then something like that happened, and my physical fatigue was more important than anything else.

Hearing that the two little guys were studying in the study room could not make Ye Guo give up his original idea.

After not seeing them for a while, the two little guys have grown a lot taller. They are no longer wearing long robes, but are wearing the same coarse cotton-padded clothes as the children in the village. But if you take off their outer clothes, you will find that the material of the clothes underneath is of excellent quality, and the clothes are filled with new cotton, which is very warm.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two little ones cried a few times out of excitement. But children's emotions come and go quickly.

Soon, they began to share their happiness with Ye Guo. The three of them talked enthusiastically for a long time, and Ye Guo even took them into the kitchen to make simple and delicious oil dumplings together.

At least it makes up for a little bit of what I was thinking about.

Under the supervision of Aunt Liu, Ye Guo went to bed on time at noon. When she woke up, the yard was quiet.

"Is the porridge distribution ready?" If the others were not there, Guard Lu would definitely be there.

So Ye Guo was asking about him.

"Everything is ready. Many people have come and brought many locusts. Aunt Liu is busy cooking porridge with others."

Ye Guo nodded.

Guard Lu asked thoughtfully, "Would the county lord like to go and see it in person?"

Ye Guo shook his head. "They would be nervous if I went. With Aunt Liu watching over them, there's nothing to worry about."

While she was talking to Magistrate Lu, Madam Liu went to the village entrance with two guards.

Tell all the people in Huangcun that the county lady is going to distribute porridge in the afternoon. Everyone can get a bowl, but if they bring a pound of clean locust carcasses, they can exchange them for two ounces of coarse grains.

Everyone can understand giving out porridge, but collecting the dead bodies of locusts is something that no one really understands.

But it doesn’t matter, the locust corpses can be exchanged for food.

This was like a sudden life-saving straw, which rekindled the hope of survival for everyone present.

Nanny Liu even said that this matter could be told to everyone, and as long as they were from Changhua County, they could come and exchange for food.

The oil press in the village, after clearing out the supplies, resumed operation. The oil extracted this time was not intended to be sold, but the leaves and fruits had other uses.

As the saying goes, after a beating, a sweet date is given. Yesterday, Ye Guo's killing of more than a dozen people was horrifying. Today, County Magistrate Lu represented the official authorities and confirmed that Ye Guo's actions were not wrong.

Now, this is not only a porridge distribution, but also a food exchange. Everywhere you look, you can hear the voices of gratitude.

Every step was moving in the direction that Ye Guo had expected.

"Little sister, do you want to go and have a look at the grain storage at home?"

"Then go and have a look. Sorry for bothering you, big brother."

Boss Ye was originally outside, patrolling with the village team.

He calculated that it was about time and Ye Guo should have woken up, so he took the time to go home.

Sure enough, Ye Guo was seen practicing Ba Duan Jin in the yard.

Ye Guo doesn't really distinguish between time and place when he exercises. He just does it when he has too much to do.

The two of them walked out of the yard, one in front and one behind, and walked for about a quarter of an hour before they reached a small earthen slope.

After Boss Ye moved all the dead trees piled on the side of the slope, a small door hidden behind it was revealed.

The small door was less than half a person's height, and only allowed one person to pass through. Boss Ye did not bend down to enter, but just opened the door and began to introduce.

"According to your instructions before you left, except for the money for emergency, everything else was exchanged for grain two months ago. This granary is now full, with almost 10,000 kilograms of grain. The porridge in exchange for grain should be enough for a while."

Before Ye Guo came back, Boss Ye would sometimes come here in the middle of the night and guard for an hour or two.

There were quite a few smart people in the village. When they saw that it didn't rain and the price of food started to rise, they did the same as his family and hid some food in various places in the mountains in case of emergency.

But like this, where you ask for tens of thousands of kilograms right away, that's definitely not possible.

I don’t know how Boss Ye managed to transport so much food back from outside without being discovered.

Even Guard Lu, who was standing by, was extremely surprised when he saw this.

No wonder Ye Guo said he would give out porridge, it turned out he had planned it in advance. Guard Lu really admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Guo didn't pay attention to other people's thoughts. Looking at the tens of thousands of kilograms of food in front of him, other thoughts came to his mind.

"Brother, I want to transport half of this grain. I will arrange for people to transport it in the next two days."

"In a few days, Magistrate Lu will also send a batch of grain over, which should be enough to make up for what I transported away."

Boss Ye had no objection to the food arrangement. The two of them were in tacit agreement and didn't even ask any more questions.
