"This..." The butler hesitated, not daring to move.
"That's what the king meant."
"Yes."
Seeing the butler go out with a basin, Qiao Yun handed the chicken legs in his bowl to Nan Min with trembling hands.
Nan Jun was moved, but he was not willing to touch the chicken leg. Instead, he picked out the meat and put it in Qiao Yun's porridge bowl, abruptly turning a bowl of bland white porridge into meat porridge.
"Yun'er needs to eat more, it's time for her body to grow."
Nan Jun usually eats less meat, she prefers to eat more vegetables, and Qiao Yun loves meat, she is even more reluctant to let him eat less.
Qiao Yun pursed her lips and gave Nan Jun a displeased look, and Nan Jun said awkwardly: "You know, I always only like lighter dishes."
Qiao Yun thought about it carefully, Nan Jun seemed to seldom eat meat in the palace on weekdays, so he believed her words.
After dinner, Nan Jun took Qiao Yun for a walk in Liu's residence, seeing the simplicity of the residence, Qiao Yun couldn't help smacking his lips.
"The layout of the Liu residence is really simple."
Qiao Yun's yard in the mountains is more beautiful than Liu's Mansion, at least there are more flowers and trees than here.
"Master Liu has been clean and honest all his life, and his sleeves are clean, this courtyard is just like her people, clean and tidy."
"This is the blessing of the people."
Qiao Yun nodded clearly, and suddenly thought of her childhood home.
The Qiao Mansion in my memory is already blurred. Although it is not as luxurious as the Zhennan Wang Mansion, it is by no means what it looks like in front of me.
I don't know what kind of person his mother is, is she also a good official who benefits the people?
The breeze came, blowing the overlapping sleeves of the two of them. Nan Jun took Qiao Yun's hand and held it tightly.
Qiao Yun tilted his head to look at the woman beside him, and his heart couldn't help but move.
It was this face, no matter when he looked at it, it was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Report to Zhennan King, Lord Liu is back."
The butler hurried over and saluted the two of them.
Nan Jun took Qiao Yun's hand and said: "I still have something to discuss with Mr. Liu, you go and rest first."
Qiao Yun nodded obediently, and turned into the courtyard where he and Nan Jun lived at the intersection, and Nan Jun went to the front hall with the housekeeper.
Liu Xiangjue still couldn't hide the excitement on his face when he came back from harvesting the food.
"Master Liu, is everything ready?"
Nan Jun asked with a smile, the food and grass brought in must be consistent with the imperial decree, Nan Jun asked this, and he also kept a bit of a joke with Liu Xiangjue.
"I don't dare, the king of Zhennan is serious."
Liu Xiangjue hurriedly bowed his head and clasped his fists, saying that he didn't dare.
"Master Liu thinks, how many disaster victims are there in this city?"
It is important to control the locust plague, but it is more important to save the lives of the people first.
"The king of Zhennan doesn't know that although this Yuyang County is not considered rich, there are some rich people. It is not a good idea to blindly ask others to give alms. After all, most of Yuyang County are poor people who cannot afford to eat. .”
Liu Xiangjue is not greedy, nor does she want to be with those businessmen, but in the face of the disaster, most of the businesses gave porridge and food to the people, and she also changed her view of those businessmen.
It's just that disasters don't happen overnight, and she shouldn't be too greedy, so she can't let others help her every day!
"Then Master Liu, have you ever thought about why these people are so poor, is it just because of the disaster in the field this year?"
No matter what the reason was, Nanjun would never let people eat for free. Even the relief food distributed by the imperial court had to be obtained by his own labor.
"Let's not hide from King Zhennan, those poor people are all because of laziness."
Liu Xiangjue sighed helplessly, if he had been more diligent, how could he have ended up like a homeless man.
"So, this relief food can't be sent to those lazy people for nothing."
"What do you mean?"
"Distribute according to work."
Nan Jun can always remember these four words. The world is relatively fair, that is, distribution according to work.
Do more, get more, do less, get less, don't do nothing.
If someone is too lazy to exchange labor for food, then there is no need for such a person to live.
"Yes!"
A look of joy flashed in Liu Xiangjue's eyes, and he quickly agreed.
So, before it was dark, the outside was covered with notices.
Starting tomorrow, anyone who needs to exchange for food can sign up at the Liu Mansion, dig ditches, build grass sheds, and catch locusts...
As long as the required amount is met, they can be exchanged for a wooden token, which can be used to come to the Liu Mansion to receive food.
As soon as this news came out, some people were happy and some were worried.
Those people who only wanted to live on relief walked back cursing, while calculating how to get an extra wooden sign.
And those who have always been strong are happy with Liu Juncheng's decision.
At least if she did more, the whole family would have enough food.
"Sister Jun, digging ditches can provide drinking water, and building straw huts can accommodate refugees, but Yun'er doesn't understand, why do you ask them to use fishing nets to catch locusts? There are so many locusts that they can't finish!"
Qiao Yun followed behind Nan Jun, asking nonchalantly.
"You'll find out in the evening."
Nan Jun narrowed his eyes and smiled mysteriously, which made Qiao Yun even more curious.
It wasn't until dinner that Qiao Yun realized what Nan Jun's mysterious smile meant.
"This... what is this?"
Looking at the burnt yellow bugs on the plate, Qiao Yun frowned and asked.
"Stir-fried locusts."
Nan Jun quickly picked up the chopsticks and threw one into his mouth. It was still the familiar taste in his memory.
fragrant!
It smells so good!
Qiao Yun frowned and looked at Nan Jun, grinning not knowing what to say.
"Master Liu, try it too, it's delicious."
Nan Jun signaled to Liu Xiangjue to have a taste too, and after several struggles, Liu Xiangjue picked one up with trembling hands and put it in his mouth.
Seeing that her expression was unbelievably nervous again, Qiao Yun also felt a little curious.
"Is it really delicious?"
"Really, when did I lie to you?"
Nan Jun looked at Qiao Yun with a smile, and then ate another one by himself.
They don't know that a plate of this thing is not cheap in the last days!
Qiao Yun ate one boldly, and then couldn't help but open his eyes, it was really delicious.
This is much better than daily porridge and pickles!
Liu Xiangjue looked at the plate of fried locusts in puzzlement, and asked, "How did King Zhennan know that this... is edible?"
Nan Jun chuckled lightly and said, "I just saw it in a book of medical art, it's just a medicinal herb!"
Liu Xiangjue was overjoyed. In this way, the common people could not only fill their stomachs, but also destroy the locusts. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
"This method is really good!"
Liu Xiangjue couldn't help but praise, and he admired the young King of Zhennan more and more in his heart.
"Starting tomorrow, Lord Liu can organize the people to catch the locusts. Although not all of them can be caught, it can always reduce a lot of losses."
In this era without pesticides and machinery, it is almost impossible to eradicate locusts.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"This..." The butler hesitated, not daring to move.
"That's what the king meant."
"Yes."
