Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Shen Huaizhi pondered for a while, and decided to pretend that he didn't notice. "What can I ask?" He leaned against the tree with his arms folded.

Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. When he felt it was about time, he waved to the group of children and said, "Come and eat."

In fact, when the sweet potatoes gave off fragrance, their attention was all attracted and their mouths kept drooling, but they still didn't dare to go over.

Sheng Changan peeled the sweet potato skin, revealing the golden flesh. She could even clearly hear the sound of swallowing saliva. "Shen Huaizhi, do you want to eat it?"

Shen Huaizhi was waiting for her to say this. He squatted down and peeled the skin like Sheng Changan did. "What is this?" He had never seen this food before.

"Sweet potato" Sheng Changan couldn't help but sigh. She didn't dare to eat this in the city before. It would attract too much attention. If it was discovered by someone who knew the value of it, Guangping would suffer an unexpected disaster.

Shen Huaizhi ate two dishes in a row and stopped, finally feeling full. This time, he finally understood why Wu You had such great confidence in her. It was undeniable that she was not only courageous but also smart. More importantly, she would trust someone completely if she was sure they were trustworthy.

Sheng Changan ignored Shen Huaizhi who was lost in thought and placed the remaining sweet potatoes next to the children. "This is edible. You should have seen it just now. You can try it."

After a long time, the woman picked up the sweet potatoes on the ground and distributed them to the children, leaving some for herself.

Sheng Changan roughly guessed that it was left for those who went out to find food. These people were quite helpful to each other.

Around nightfall, the person who had gone out finally came back, but his face changed immediately when he saw Sheng Huai.

"Who are you?" The big man felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have picked up children randomly, and sure enough, something happened.

"Let's talk. Don't worry, these kids are fine." Finally, the wait came.

After making sure their children were fine, they calmed down. Seeing that they didn't stop them from holding the children, they breathed a sigh of relief. The big man walked over, his face full of vigilance. "What do you want to say?"

Sheng Changan flicked the dirt off his body and then said seriously, "I am Sheng Changan, the county magistrate of Guangping County. This time I mainly want to tell you that Guangping is willing to accept refugees. We will leave for Guangping early tomorrow morning. If you have any ideas, you can go with us tomorrow morning."

After thinking about it and combining it with their current situation, he added, "Guangping will not be short of food." There will definitely be no shortage of food in at least a month.

Some people couldn't believe it. How could there be a place willing to accept refugees? Unless there is a problem, "We don't sell children."

"By the way, the only condition for me to accept refugees is that they have never eaten human flesh. Besides, we have schools in Guangping County. You don't want your children to live a life of hiding in the mountains like you do, do you?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little tempted. In fact, they were going to change places anyway, and if they wanted to take action, they would have done it long ago.

Looking at the few people who were still hesitant, Sheng Changan said directly, "You can take your time to think about it. If you are willing, we can meet at the road at the foot of the mountain tomorrow. If you are not willing, I will not force you." After that, Sheng Changan turned around and left.

Shen Huaizhi was a little confused. "Are you just going to let it go?"

The most important thing about “they will come” is that they are willing.

"Dad, eat, it's delicious." A child handed the sweet potato to the big man's mouth.

The big man came to his senses and asked, "Where did this come from?"

"Brother, brother gave it to me."

The woman in front came over and said, "Indeed, it was given by that gentleman. We have all eaten it. These are left for you."

The other big man looked at the sweet potato in his hand silently. "They don't seem to have any ill intentions, otherwise..."

"I think so too," one after another spoke up, at least they couldn't let their children live this kind of life.

The big man hesitated and said, "Then we will go tomorrow morning."

"How about, how about we go down and wait now! They didn't say what time it would be this morning. What if we miss it?" As soon as these words came out, everyone started to pack up.

Shen Huaizhi suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Then why didn't you tell them the specific time?"

"Of course we can't tell them. What if they use us as a token of their loyalty?" Sheng Changan said calmly, "If they really want to go, they will naturally find a way."

Shen Huaizhi was speechless. He thought Sheng Changan really believed them so much, but he was just being wishful thinking.

County Magistrate Wu's eyes lit up as he watched the two approaching. "Sir," he said, bowing to Master Shen again. "Duke Shen is awake."

Shen Huaizhi didn't care about anything else and just ran forward.

"Let's go and take a look too." It was reasonable for her to meet Duke Shen.

"grandfather"

Although Huaizhi was still feeling a little uncomfortable, he felt much better. He looked behind him at Lord Sheng.

He was indeed a person who had held a high position for a long time. Although he was old and ill, he still had an aura of majesty without anger. "Duke Shen" Sheng Chang'an saluted.

Duke Shen laughed a few times and said, "I am no longer a duke. My real name is Shen Congye. Lord Sheng, if you can look upon me with such respect, you may as well call me Master Shen."

Sheng Changan was a little surprised. She didn't expect the Duke to be so decisive. She was still racking her brains over what to do. After all, these people seemed to admire Duke Shen very much. But she didn't expect him to take a step back.

Sheng Changan saluted again, and this time she was really convinced by "Mr. Shen"

"Master Sheng, there is no need to be so polite. I would like to thank you for saving my life." After waking up, he also made special inquiries. This Master Shen was indeed a good person, so he was willing to retreat this step.

"Mr. Shen, you're too polite." As soon as these words came out, the two of them smiled at each other.

"I have written down everything they are good at. I hope it will be helpful to Lord Sheng." Shen Huaizhi handed over a scroll of bamboo slips.

Sheng Changan took it with some surprise. He didn't expect there would be such a surprise. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Shen. Have a good rest, Mr. Shen."

Shen Congye waved his hand and said, "Huaizhi, I have nothing to do here. You go and follow Lord Sheng." Don't waste his efforts.

Of course Shen Huaizhi knew what his grandfather meant, so he just raised his hand and said "yes"

Sheng Changan found a secluded place and opened the bamboo slips. The first name that caught his eye was Shen Huaizhi. Sheng Changan was a little amused, but he didn't mind this harmless little thought. More importantly, Shen Huaizhi's ability was indeed good.

After a quick glance, Sheng Changan had a rough idea of ​​the situation. There were a total of 189 people. About 100 of them were indeed ordinary civilians, but half of the remaining 89 had combat experience and could form an army. Another portion was exactly the talent she was in urgent need of. Once she returned to Guangping, she could begin full-scale construction.
