The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

"Our village is next to the mountains and forests. If you are willing to go up the mountain, you can pick up a lot of mountain products, but there is not much land to grow food.

Going further to Liangshan County, all the farmland has been bought up by big households. How can it be left cheap to us common people?

The villagers are suffering, with no money or land, so how can they afford to buy lice medicine for their children? "

Enclosure of land is a problem in every dynasty, and Lu Jiao has no control over such matters.

I can only suggest: "They say that if you live in a mountain, you can eat from it. If you can eat, there must be merchants in the city who will buy it."

Lu Jiao didn't say anything more.

If you want to eat, you can't always wait for others to feed you, right?

What she wanted to say was something else.

The reason for head lice is not only lack of personal hygiene, but also the problem of water source.

This small village in the mountains does not even have a well, and people rely on a small river flowing out of the mountains to barely maintain their daily life.

If one household draws a little more water, it may cut off the water supply for other households.

"How much silver would it cost to dig a well in your village?"

"Sir, what are you doing..."

Village Chief Luo thought of a lot of things at once.

Water supply has always been a problem in mountain villages. Without water, personal hygiene is difficult to maintain.

Not to mention children, even adults have a lot of lice.

If you go out like this, you're bound to be looked down upon.

Over time, the villagers living in the mountain village are reluctant to go out.

When they were craving for meat, they would go up the mountain; when they ran out of food, they would also go up the mountain, hunt wild animals, and go to the nearby market to exchange for some coarse grains.

It is absolutely impossible to make money by selling mountain products.

And the children could only play in the village: if they wanted to send them to school, they would inevitably be looked down upon by their classmates.

For example, Luo Rushong, the grandson of Village Chief Luo, was sent to the village school in the next village by his grandfather when he reached the age of enlightenment.

But not long after, Songzi refused to go again and the gentleman's expression at that time was hard to describe.

Thinking about this, Village Chief Luo was really scared.

It turns out that the root of all poverty comes from the use of water!

Seeing that the village chief had reacted, Lu Jiao said, "Yes, the people of Kaoshan Village are simple and honest. I also want to come here to hunt from time to time in the future. When the time comes, it will take a lot of water to clean the prey.

So I want to pay for a well in the village.”

Village Chief Luo knew that the young man was just being polite.

If he wanted to use water, he only needed to pay a few dozen coins, and naturally there would be a lot of villagers willing to help him fetch water.

Spending twenty or thirty taels of silver to dig a well was ultimately a bargain for the villagers.

"Son..."

Village chief Luo didn't care about the other villagers around him and tried to hold Lu Jiao's hand with trembling hands.

But Lu Jiao grabbed it with his backhand and patted it.

"Village chief, I'll give you thirty taels of silver, and you can use the extra money to buy medicine to get rid of lice.

Let's go back quickly, we just came down from the mountain and we are hungry! "

Village Chief Luo slapped his thigh and said, "That's right!"

Distributing the meat is a small matter, but we must not treat the village’s benefactor badly!

When the villagers first heard the village chief say that the meat would be distributed later, they were a little resentful.

But listening further, we heard that the kind-hearted young man wanted to pay for digging a well for the village, which was a rare event in the village in decades!

The villagers no longer bothered to pester the village chief for a share of the meat, and they all ran around to tell each other.

For a while, a lot of people gathered outside the village chief's house.

Lu Jiao roughly counted them and found that there were no less than a hundred people, and they were all very excited.

She sighed in her heart, patted Lu Ze and Chen Wen on the shoulders, handed the wild animals to them, and walked to the gate of the yard.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

A pair of eyes with distinct black and white stared at Lu Jiao's face, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

The last time she encountered so many people was when she caused a big disturbance in the base.

She tried hard to suppress the strangeness in her heart and said, "Fellow villagers, what you heard is true. I will hand the money to the village chief later.

You can supervise its use.”

Seeing that the villagers were no longer as excited as they were at the beginning after hearing her promise, she turned to the village chief and said, "Village Chief Luo, can you please use your kitchen? We have to rush back to the capital after lunch."

"Right, right, right! We can't delay our benefactor's important business!"

"Let's put the pot on the threshing floor!"

The villagers came and left quickly, because the most important thing was that they wanted to hear the good news with their own ears.

"Then I'll go over there to greet them. You can use whatever you need!"

Village Chief Luo and Lu Jiao greeted them and followed the villagers.

Lu Jiao checked around and found that only a teenage girl and Songzi were left in the village chief's house in the backyard.

There was not a single adult left in the entire yard, and they had no defense at all against the three strangers, Lu Jiao and the other two. This shocked her greatly.

You know, deep down, Lu Jiao still holds on to the apocalyptic idea of "don't trust anyone easily."

When Lu Ze was sent out by Chen Wen to look for Lu Jiao, he saw him standing in the middle of the yard in a daze.

"What are you looking at, brother?"

Lu Jiao's complicated feelings disappeared instantly and she smiled slightly: "Nothing, I just think the villagers are suffering too much."

They experienced suffering that they should not have to endure.

"When we get back, I'll talk to Brother Hao!"

"Does our Aze want to be a censor?"

During this period, Lu Ze learned a lot from the teacher and had a rough idea of the official positions in the court.

Naturally, I know what the Censor-in-Chief does.

He tilted his head and said, "But I want to be a general. What should I do?"

Seeing that he was really struggling with this problem, Lu Jiao rubbed his head and said, "Don't think too much, kid, otherwise you won't grow tall!"

Lu Ze pouted and wanted to retort that there was no dwarf in the Guo family, but when he thought of his mother, he pursed his lips and did not say it.

Lu Jiao was also preoccupied with her own affairs and did not notice the change in Lu Ze.

It was unknown when Lu Ze no longer hated the Guo family as much as he did at the beginning.

Instead, it seemed as if he treated the people of the Guo family as complete strangers.

Maybe if he meets her again one day, he will be able to keep his heart calm. But that's a story for later.

Although Kaoshan Village is poor, the village chief's kitchen has everything it should have.

They have much more comfort than Lu Jiao and the others in the mountains.

When the two of them returned to the kitchen, Chen Wen had already scalded the pheasant's feathers with boiling water.

Even the rabbit was skinned and placed on the chopping board, waiting for Lu Jiao's arrangements.

"You've finished it so quickly! Let me show you my skills!"

She cut the chicken and hare into large pieces, rinsed them with ginger slices and wine, and while Chen Wen was looking for potatoes, she found a lot of spices from the space.

Pheasant stewed with mushrooms, braised rabbit, served with multi-grain rice.

Chen Wen and Lu Ze ate until their bellies were full. Lu Jiao said that he was full, but in fact he had only just enough to fill the stomach.

However, the noise they made in the kitchen caused great trouble to the people living around the village chief.
