For a moment, everyone's eyes were all focused on the small bag of rice on the ground.

Their eyes were glowing green, and they looked like wolves.

There was only the sound of swallowing saliva in the air.

Suddenly, a person moved and rushed towards the bag of rice.

He just grabbed a handful of raw rice and stuffed it into his own mouth, as did other people.

They didn't seem to care about the rawness of the rice they ate, and they shed tears while eating.

With trembling hands, red eyes choked up, "It's rice, it's really rice!"

Holding rice as white as pearls in their hands, they burst into tears.

It's the kind of wailing and crying after a long drought and rain, which makes people unbearable.

Luo Jiaojiao looked at the faces with different faces, but also the same sadness and joy.

Their faces seemed to overlap with the moment when Luo Yan and the others ate the rice for the first time when she took out the rice.

Those officers and soldiers seemed to have finally calmed down.

Still holding the handful of rice tightly in his hand, he looked up at Luo Yan's young face, his voice was wet as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"My lord, we are with you, can you really feed us?"

Luo Yan nodded heavily, and said his first promise when he came to Quanzhou, "As long as you do things according to my orders, the most basic thing is to have enough food."

As soon as these words came out, the officers and soldiers instantly knelt into a ball.

Kowtowing to Luo Yan, they said in unison, "Meet Lord Luo."

A not-so-obvious smile appeared on the corner of Luo Yan's mouth, and he nodded.

They were not so much looking down on Luo Yan as they were disappointed with the officials.

No matter who the people came, there was no change in their lives. They were neither full nor hungry.

It's just that compared with the people outside, they can at least have something to eat.

But now, Luo Yan came with real food, right in front of them.

Who doesn't want to eat a full meal to fill their stomachs?

As long as there is food, let them do anything!

Suddenly, a person stood up, frowned and looked at Luo Yan and said, "My lord, you just said that the trading of vegetable dealers is prohibited, but if there are no vegetable dealers, what will the common people do?"

"If they make trouble, let them come to me and make trouble."

Seeing Luo Yan's appraisal of attitude, everyone stopped saying anything.

After saluting to Luo Yan, he turned and left.

……

magistrate's office

Because of what he saw and heard today, Luo Yan did not cook a whole table of dishes as usual.

Just some simple home cooking, but it's also delicious for outsiders.

While eating, everyone secretly observed Luo Yan.

Luo Yan put down his chopsticks helplessly, "If you have anything to say, just ask."

Luo Yuan quickly said, "Second brother, have you thought about what to do? The people in Yong'an City are worse than the people in Taohua Town..."

"That's right, the people in Yong'an City can't get enough to eat now, how can we let them eat?" Uncle Thirteen frowned.

Luo Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something, and suddenly raised her head, "We can grow potatoes!"

"Potatoes?" Everyone said in unison.

When he was in Peach Blossom Town before, Luo Jiaojiao took Luo Hao out to plant potatoes once, but the weather there was so cold that the potatoes froze to death.

Later, when I went to the capital, there was no more to the matter of planting potatoes.

Everyone in the Luo family knew that Luo Jiaojiao took Luo Hao to grow potatoes.

At this time, they all remembered.

Luo Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "I saw a lot of unused land on the road, we can grow potatoes."

"Jiaojiao said that the potatoes can be harvested in four to five months."

"That's what I said, but if the common people are allowed to plant potatoes, what will the common people eat before the potatoes are harvested?" Uncle Thirteen frowned, "Looking at the way they have no strength to catch their breath, it is a waste for them to plant the land." Isn't it unrealistic?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions froze.

Just when Luo Yan was about to say something.

Han Qingge at the side suddenly jumped up and let out a sharp and piercing cry, "Ah!"

Everyone was startled by the sudden cry, all eyes were on Han Qingge's face.

I saw Han Qingge standing far away, pointing to the floor of the bench she had just made with a look of horror.

The voice trembled, "Old...mouse, there are mice!"

mouse?

Everyone's eyes moved down, and they saw a huge mouse at the place Han Qingge just pointed at.

Uncle Thirteen squatted down and grabbed the mouse before the mouse could react.

"This mouse is quite fat."

Luo Yan looked at the mouse's eyes and narrowed his eyes.

Then he stood up and said, "I'm full!"

After speaking, he hurried out.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Luo Jiaojiao glanced at the huge mouse that was constantly struggling in the hands of Uncle Thirteen, and quickly moved her eyes away.

Han Qingge's reaction became stronger, "Uncle Thirteen, Uncle Thirteen, hurry up, get this mouse away, it's disgusting!"

Uncle Thirteen heard the words and took the mouse aside, and said with some regret, "This mouse is so big, it's enough for a family of three to eat."

Then Han Qingge vomited it out.

He said in horror, "Eat mice? Someone eats such disgusting things as mice?"

Luo Yuan glanced at Han Qingge, "When we couldn't eat before, this mouse could save lives! Let alone such a big mouse!"

"You are Miss Qianjin, so of course you are different from those of us who have suffered."

Han Qingge glared at Luo Yuan, "I haven't seen it before, so I can't ask? Why do you keep targeting me?"

Luo Yuan ate the rice in his own bowl, ignoring her.

Luo Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something, and turned her head to look at the fat rat with shiny black fur and full size.

The people outside are all hungry, and all of them are skinny.

Why is this mouse so fat?

At this moment, Luo Yan who had just hurried out came back with a group of people.

The people behind him swallowed involuntarily as they looked at the leftovers on their tables, forcing themselves to look away.

Luo Yan naturally noticed this, but he didn't have the time to tell them this now.

He pointed at the huge county magistrate's mansion, "Search for me!"

The officers and soldiers behind Luo Yan immediately dispatched after hearing the words, and began to search the rooms one by one.

Luo Yuan and the others looked at Luo Yan with some doubts, "Second Brother, what are you searching for?"

Luo Yan followed behind the officers and soldiers, and began to search himself, "You will find out in a while."

Luo Jiaojiao poked Luo Yuan, "Third brother, don't you think this mouse is getting a bit big?"

"It's big... wait, you mean..."
