Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Early in the morning, some locals said, "If I had known it was so good, I would have called my uncles and aunts here. I came here with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it! I don't know if my family will blame me when I go home." "Yeah, me too!" "Don't think too much, buddy, come again next time!" "I'm going to the beach to play for half a day, and then take a nap." Several people went together.

The prefect of Duanping Prefecture arrived and found the tent. Guoguo was the only one there. Prefect Hai Chong met the princess: "Greetings, Your Majesty!" Kneeling and kowtowed! Guoguo gestured to Hai Chong, saying: "Sir, please stand up quickly and sit down to have a cup of tea. You must be thirsty after coming so far." Guoguo poured tea herself and washed a plate of fruit. "Sir, please eat and try the fruit I brought." Hai Chong was flattered, "Thank you, Princess! I can do it myself." "Sir, have some tea."

Hai Chong took a sip of the tea and drank it down. "Good tea! Good tea. I have never tasted such good tea!" Guo Guo smiled and said, "Come if you want to drink! You are welcome here! Is there anything you need from me, sir? I will send someone to notify the prince to come back." The prefect said: "No hurry, I am here to see you off. There are also people coming to work." "Okay, sir, please sit for a while. I will find someone to arrange food and accommodation."

Guoguo asked the secret guard to notify the logistics manager.

Guoguo came back soon. "Sir, these people will be arranged in a while, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Do you have a list of these people?" Hai Chong: "Yes, even the ones who came last time are here." He took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Guoguo. Guoguo looked at it and said, "There are quite a few people! Okay, leave this to me." Guoguo thought about it and said, "Sir, can you tell me about the area under your jurisdiction, how many counties and towns there are, and how many people there are? Can you tell me about the general living conditions of the people?" Hai Chong took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The people here used to live well. But in the past two or three years, pirates have been rampant, and they have come up to rob several times. The people have had a hard time since then. Sometimes they have nothing to eat, and they are hungry and full. I have reported it several times! Only then did I look forward to the prince's coming. When the people heard that there were a lot of people signing up for free food and accommodation, I recruited those with strong labor." Guoguo asked again, "How is the spring plowing?" Hai Chong replied, "A large area has been planted, and there is still a piece of land without seeds. We are waiting to go to other prefectures and counties to buy seeds and plant them!" "Did you plant wheat after the autumn harvest last year?" Hai Chong's eyes lit up when he heard Guoguo's question, and he said happily, " "I've planted it. The emperor gave it to me, and I've had the people plant it. Since the seeds are limited, I've arranged for every household to plant a small amount first. After the grain is harvested this year, we can plant wheat on a large scale. The temperature here is high, so we can grow two crops a year!" "The plane crash is temporary. Eat some fruit. Rest one day less, and you can leave tomorrow."

"I'm done with tea. I'm going to go outside and take a look." "Okay."

Guoguo returned to her space to check on the grain seeds. Sweet potatoes were still available, and there were still some potatoes, corn, and rice in her space. She'd ask later if there was any irrigated land.

After checking the seeds, she left the space and went to the large tent at the back—the warehouse. She looked at the grain inside, cleared a space, and took out the seeds. There were also several baskets of eggs, pork, mutton, vegetables, and so on. Salt and alkaline noodles.

Tell the kitchen staff to give everyone two boiled eggs a day. Just steam them in a steamer. The coal heats up quickly!

The fireman was very happy. In the past, they burned firewood, but now they have coal, and cooking is faster when the two are used together.

Looking at the mutton, thinking that mutton is a hot food, and people drink soup in the morning and evening, they made mutton soup with green onions and peppers, just right! Braised pork was stewed in large pots, and the aroma was wafting! The people sniffed, thinking about having a good meal tonight. Some people went up to help with the work. There were also men who knew how to cook. The soldiers looked at them and said, "Steam the big white steamed buns and let you have one first." The people said: "Thank you, military officer, we have been hungry for many days."

The soldier found some white steamed buns and said, "Take them and share them. Eat some dry food first, and we'll have dinner soon." The people said, "Okay, okay! Take the white steamed buns and share them."

Soldier: "There is hot water to drink, scoop it yourself."

As darkness fell, Guoguo had the secret guards install solar lights in the kitchen, and now they were lit. The fireman shouted, "Dinner's time! Line up and get your food!" Ten stoves served food, each with a large bowl of mutton soup. Outside, baskets of white steamed buns were placed, with yellow flour buns, white flour buns, and even pot tops. Anyone could take whatever they wanted. "Come back for more after you finish your soup. You'll be full." A large bowl of braised pork was also served, with each person receiving a large piece.

Ye Heng watched the kitchen from a distance. They consumed so much food every day! Without money, they couldn't support the army. They also had to encourage the locals to raise more livestock and farmland. Guoguo told him about the situation of the people in Duanping Prefecture.

The next day, Ye Heng arranged for four large trucks loaded with grain and seeds to be delivered to Duanping Prefecture. The prefect followed the trucks. On the truck, the prefect asked, "Brother, what kind of truck is this that's so fast? It'll be here in no time!" The driver replied, "It runs on oil, so it's fast. The prince is a very kind man, giving you so much grain and seeds. I want the people to plant them all!" The prefect replied, "Yes, yes, so no one will starve to death this winter."

Ye Heng said that when they returned, they would distribute grain to the people based on the number of people. Even a newborn girl would be given a mouthful of grain, and if not enough, more would be sent. Seeds would be distributed based on the amount of land. Prefect Hai Chong was overjoyed. This year, his entire prefecture would undergo a major transformation and become better. Ye Heng told him about building greenhouses to grow vegetables in the winter. Someone sent by the Ministry of Revenue would teach them how to farm!

After so many years, the people of Border Town still have a hard time. It's the officials' fault.

Four trucks carried the food for three days, making four trips a day to deliver the food to Duanping Prefecture.

Guoguo and Ye Heng had mentioned that the situation in the city government was also quite challenging! Ye Heng sent secret guards to investigate. The report confirmed a food shortage. Ye Heng sent food and seeds and informed the prefect of the food distribution situation.
