When Zhao Jingyun came out of the room, his face looked slightly solemn.
What Mr. Song said is not unreasonable. The Liu family's case is probably just the beginning. There is something hidden behind it that they still need to investigate.
It seemed that after leaving Fengxia Village, he had to go straight to the government office.
Zhao Xueli stepped forward: "Master Zhao, are you going back?"
Zhao Jingyun bowed and thanked: "I have caused trouble to everyone."
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Zhao Xueli said, "You can come, but it's not too late for us to rejoice."
"You are still an adult after you leave the government office," Zhao Jingyun said. "It's the most difficult for you right now. Sixteen households have to eat a lot of food every day."
If Zhao Jingyun didn't say more, he would have someone send some rice over tomorrow, so he couldn't eat the village's rations in vain.
Zhao Luoyang brought a lamp to guide Zhao Jingyun: "I still have to trouble Mr. Zhao to take a few steps around. We can't go from the village entrance."
"What?" Zhao Jingyun frowned, "Is there someone watching at the entrance of the village?"
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "It's people from the East Village. Maybe it's because our place is too busy, so they came to secretly check the situation."
When the immigrants were naturalized, the imperial court ordered the villagers to take care of them. In fact, many Lizheng, like those in Fengxia Village, harbored ill intentions towards the immigrants.
Such integrity...
Zhao Jingyun snorted coldly: "Don't let them know that I am here, so that we can find out if they have any plans."
Everyone left one after another, and the Zhao family's yard was also cleaned up.
Zhao Yuanji and Zhao Yuanbao fell asleep first, but Zhao Yuanrang was very energetic. He stayed until the end every day, and when everyone had rested, he went to blow out the lamp.
"The food we had today was really good."
Mrs. Tao and Luo Zhenniang were talking and went to see Zhao Luoyang in the house.
This meal can last three meals. Normally, I would feel empty after eating so many wild vegetable pancakes, but now it is different. I feel really full, as if I have gained strength.
Ge said: "I saw a few elderly people in the village crying."
Mrs. Yang also saw it and couldn't help but said: "This is a good thing. If you have the strength to cry, it means you have recovered."
Anyone who has experienced wars and catastrophes knows that when you are running for your life, who can afford to cry?
Old Mrs. Yang looked at Zhao Luoyang: "I told the sixteen households that food and drink belong to Sister Luo. In the future, they just need to not forget this."
Tao and Ge both responded. Not to mention the Sixteenth Household, they all had to remember the benefits of their second brother's family.
Mrs. Tao thought about it even more. If it weren't for Sister Luo, this piece of meat in her stomach would have been handed over to her on the way.
Zhao Luoyang wanted to say a few words, but she glared back.
Mrs. Yang couldn't let her granddaughter suffer, and her family also had to say a few words from time to time to let everyone understand that Sister Luo was a junior and it was difficult to speak, so she had to speak up for Sister Luo.
"There is another sheep, we will keep it at home," said Mrs. Yang, "We will put it in the yard to dry tomorrow."
This is the happiest thing.
There is a lot of meat in a sheep, and the bones can be used to make soup for several meals.
The leftover bones from the sixteen households today were given to each family by Mrs. Yang. Whether they were cooked or ground into noodles, they would all be put into their stomachs and would not be wasted.
"Those leathers," Zhao Luoyang said, "let's keep them first. When the weather is cold, if there are young and old in the village who want to use them, we can lend them to them. We can't let people freeze to death under our eyes."
Mrs. Yang thought the same way.
Zhao Luoyang continued: "I think I will have to visit the stockade more often in the future. There is actually a lot of work in the stockade. Their fields there are all abandoned. I think they have not been cultivated for at least two years."
The most unbearable thing for farmers is the abandoned fields.
Ge Shi couldn't help but ask: "There are so many people in the village, why don't they just farm?"
Tao didn't understand either.
Zhao Luoyang said: "There are many cattle, sheep, and horses in the stockade. The people in the stockade are mainly herders, leaving some old and young to farm. However, the territory of the stockade is so large that the farmland committee cannot finish planting."
Ge said: "Isn't that a pity?"
"I'm thinking about asking the village next spring if we can plant those fields for us," Zhao Luoyang said, "but if we want to take over all those fields, we need to buy enough seeds and have the manpower to cultivate the land."
Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing's eyes lit up after hearing this. They are not afraid of manpower. There are sixteen households here, and it's not just their family. Doesn't this show the advantage of having more people?
Luo Zhenniang and Ge family are also happy. This is a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, can it be done?
In fact, Zhao Luoyang had other considerations.
Being friendly with the village means more than just finding some work for them.
She vaguely felt that every task given by the system seemed to be leading her to a result.
She knows more and more about Bai's mission. After this mission is completed, it is very likely that Taozhou will have a new situation.
Given that the system brings her good results every time.
She can give the system some trust.
At least they don't want a war to break out in Taozhou. According to the past development, the village will definitely not be captured if it is wronged, and the situation will be chaotic by then.
Zhao Luoyang held her chin in her hands and thought. She had many ideas, but she had to take her time to do them all.
Today she asked Wang Huai about Mr. Wang, and also wanted Wang Huai to send a message to Mr. Wang. If Mr. Wang could see her, she actually still had many questions.
"I want to go to the village in the next two days," Zhao Luoyang said. "I will bring my fourth uncle, fourth aunt and Aunt Xie with me then."
Her third aunt and fourth aunt were both good at needlework, but the third aunt was too heavy to go out.
Still want to go?
Old Mrs. Yang looked at Luo Zhenniang, who was also confused. She had already obtained so many things from others, and she still wanted to come to her? And she brought a few more things this time, wouldn't it be bad?
"I'm not here to ask for anything," Zhao Luoyang said, "If someone gives you so many things, we have to return the gift."
This was true, but Mrs. Yang felt suspicious in her heart. Ever since her little granddaughter could speak, she had never returned home empty-handed.
"Okay, let's talk about it then," Mrs. Yang waved her hand, "Stop wasting lamp oil and go to bed."
As soon as Mrs. Yang spoke, Zhao Yuanrang immediately went out to blow out the lamp and pull out the wax.
Zhao Luoyang lay down and said to Shi Jiu, "I wonder if Mr. Wang will meet me?"
Shi Jiu said: "He has recovered and should come."
Zhao Luoyang didn't know, but he was actually more anxious.
…
Wangjiazhuangzi.
Xiao Yu opened his eyes and smelled the fragrance of mutton. He watched Zhao Luoyang put the food into the bamboo basket with his own eyes.
Now it was placed warmly in front of him.
Mother Chen said with a smile: "It's just warmed up, please eat more."
Xiao Yu took the soup to his mouth and tasted it. The soup was sweet.
Xiao Yu thought of what Zhao Luoyang said and smiled unconsciously.
"After dinner later, let the porter prepare the horses," Xiao Yu said, "I want to go visit Fengxia Village."
Huaiguang was startled: "But now everyone in the village has rested."
Xiao Yu said: "I know."
Zhao Luoyang wanted to see him, but now that they were separated by the system, it was not easy for them to meet. They had to find opportunities. But it did not prevent him from getting closer to her.
Seeing Fengxia Village in the system was different from seeing it with his own eyes.
Huaiguang responded.
Xiao Yu ate this meal very slowly, wiping away the mutton and radish soup in front of him.
After finishing eating, Xiao Yu looked at Huaiguang: "Is there any other news?"
Huaiguang said: "The Feng family has arrived."
Xiao Yu nodded: "Let them check. The Feng family may know me. He will first check whether there is any handwriting of mine, but none of this is from my hand."
"But don't let them find out Zhao Luoyang and try to protect the Zhao family."
…
On the way from Minzhou to Beijing.
The carriage and horses escorting Sun Ji stopped temporarily at the government office. Sun Ji huddled in the prison. He was tortured, but he had no intention of dying. He still wanted to live.
Only when people are alive can they have hope.
He felt that before entering Beijing, the Feng family would definitely come.
Tonight, footsteps were heard outside the cell, and Sun Ji had a hunch that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
