"I was just worried that you didn't have enough food on hand. I didn't dare to delay once I received the food. I rushed back to Yu'an City with the food truck. Fortunately, I still had time." Zhuge Yu shook the white feather fan in his hand and smiled slightly.
"Now that we have several large trucks of food like yours, I believe we can hold on until Can Yun and Zheng Tianhu arrive at Yu'an City after collecting food from the other two countries."
The troubles were gone, Feng Qingzhuang curled her lips and smiled brightly, like the warm sun in March, comfortable and warm, and then said
"Mr. Zhuge, Miss Mu, you have worked hard all the way. I asked Gansui to take you into the city and go to the inn to have a rest. After today's business outside the city is finished, I have one more important matter to discuss with you when I return to the inn in the evening."
"Okay, I'm really tired after traveling for a few days. Let's see you at the inn tonight." Zhuge Yu looked tired and didn't refuse.
"Okay, see you at the inn tonight"
After saying that, Feng Qingzhuang called Gan Sui and asked him to take Zhuge Yu, Mu Furong, and the people who were responsible for the food security at Lanfeng Villa into Yu'an City, and arranged for them to rest at the inn they had booked before.
The setting sun slants down and sets slowly, leaving red dots in the sky, lingering on the corners of Yu'an City
In the porridge shed, Feng Qingzhuang and Wu Jingyu put all the grain that Zhuge Yu and the others had delivered today into the rings in their hands, and then the group walked towards Yu'an City.
When they returned to the inn, Zhuge Yu, Mu Furong, Gan Sui, and those from Lanfeng Villa were having dinner in the lobby of the inn.
"There is a saying that 'it is better to arrive early than to arrive early'. We have just started eating and are sitting together."
Seeing Feng Qingzhuang and the others returning to the inn, Zhuge Yu smiled and sounded a gentle voice.
"Sister, come and sit down. I'll tell the waiter to add some of your favorite dishes." Gan Sui looked at Feng Qingzhuang with a smile, waved her hand, and moved to the side to make room for Feng Qingzhuang.
He waved to the waiter and asked him to add some dishes.
After walking over a few times and sitting down to eat, everyone gathered in Feng Qingzhuang’s room.
"Goddess, today outside the city, you said that you have something important to discuss with everyone. What exactly is it?" Zhuge Yu shook the feather fan lightly in his hand and spoke first in a calm voice.
"It's like this. Although we have opened a porridge shed so that the hungry people outside the city can eat porridge and avoid starving to death, this is not a long-term solution. Besides, winter is coming. If the hungry people don't even have a shelter from the wind and rain,
There is no place, and I don’t know how many people will freeze to death on a cold winter night.” At this point, Feng Qingzhuang’s eyes showed a hint of worry.
"The goddess wants to build shelter for the hungry people outside Yu'an City," Zhuge Yu said with a flash of wisdom in his eyes.
"That's what I mean." Feng Qingzhuang nodded.
"This charity is a good idea, but the silver taels needed to build a house are much more than the silver taels needed to collect food. This is a huge expense and requires a lot of manpower," Zhuge Yu analyzed carefully.
"Silver is not a problem. We have moved all the property in the Qin Mansion's warehouse a few days ago. There are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and tens of thousands of gold. Plus I still have a lot left on hand. It should be enough.
As for the manpower needed to build the shelter, we can find some young and strong young men from the hungry people. I believe everyone will be happy to help."
After a pause, Feng Qingzhuang continued with a calm expression.
"The problem now is that choosing a site to build a residence requires a lot of open space, but I don't know much about Dongqi State, so I would like to hear Mr. Zhuge's opinion and see where around Yu'an City is more suitable for building housing for hungry people.
residence"
"I don't dare to comment, but in my heart it is really a good place to build a house. You should know that Zheng Tianhu and Miss Qin Mei came from Jianghong Town. In today's Jianghong Town, there are not many households living in it.
And it’s only half a day’s journey from Yu’an City, so how about we build the houses for the hungry people in Jianghong Town?” Zhuge Yu said unhurriedly.
"Okay, we will choose Jianghong Town. I believe Zheng Tianhu and Qin Mei will be very happy when they hear the news." Feng Qingzhuang smiled, followed Zhuge Yu's suggestion, and decided
After everyone discussed the details for a while, they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and it was another fine weather
Just after breakfast, Feng Qingzhuang, Zhuge Yu, Mei Yizhu and Gan Sui bought four horses in Yu'an City and hurried to Jianghong Town because the food was placed between Feng Qingzhuang and Wu Jing.
Wu Jingyu was forced to stay and take Gan Sui with him in the ring in Yu's hand. Was he hoping that he would be able to remember something when he returned to Jianghong Town?
In Jianghong Town, after a great plague a few years ago and floods in recent years, the houses tilted, and some were left with only a large town with ruins and ruins. There were only two or three families living sparsely, and the whole town was silent.
Must be a bit scary
When Feng Qingzhuang and her party entered the town on horseback, dust filled the sky.
At this time, a shout suddenly sounded
"Miss Feng, why did you come to Jianghong Town?"
Hearing the shout, Feng Qingzhuang pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped. She sat on the horse and looked towards the source of the sound. A woman stood at the door with joy on her face, looking at her.
Frowning and looking at the woman, Feng Qingzhuang got off her horse and the other three followed her.
Then, Feng Qingzhuang handed the horse rope to Gan Sui and walked towards the woman, asking doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"Miss Feng has forgotten that when we were in the mountains, you gave each of us twenty taels of silver to allow us to return to our hometown," the woman said.
"I remembered that you were the sister-in-law wearing a blue floral dress. I remember that you were holding a child of about ten years old at that time."
After the woman reminded me, the scene on the mountain three years ago clearly came to mind.
"Since the money has been distributed to you, why are there only so few households in Jianghong Town today? It's extremely desolate," Feng Qingzhuang said.
"Miss Feng doesn't know. Three years ago, after we received the money, we all went down the mountain and returned to the town. But a flood hit, and many people left the town again, and I had a child with no place to stay.
I went there and stayed in the town. Fortunately, I had the money you gave me. The past few years have been tough, but I have managed to survive," the woman said.
"By the way, what are you doing in town?" Suddenly remembering, the woman asked
