Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

When Liu Yanyan saw Yuzhu's expression, she knew that she had realized her mistake and did not say anything else. After all, no one is perfect.

I staggered all the way back to the Duke's Mansion.

Yuzhu and Yuzhen, get off the carriage first. The servant will bring you a stool.

Liu Yanyan stretched out her snow-white hand, placed it on Yuzhu's hand, and walked out slowly, step by step on the clean bluestone slabs.

Just as I arrived at the mansion, Butler Liu brought a sedan chair and said, "Miss, it's cold in this weather, you should take the sedan chair back to Cuizhuxuan. If you fall, I will be blamed!"

Liu Yanyan's eyes moved slightly, she nodded slightly, and sat on the sedan chair, isolating herself from the cold outside. She couldn't help but think back to the years she had spent in the Gu family. She had never been treated so attentively before. She felt bitter in her heart. Home was still the best place!

Entrance of Cuizhuxuan

Liu Yanyan stretched out her hand, and Yuzhu supported her, walking into the house at a leisurely pace.

Butler Liu looked at Liu Yanyan's slightly red eyes and secretly complained in his heart, who is bullying the young lady again? I must make him pay. It's all the Duke's fault, otherwise the young lady would not have suffered these grievances.

Liu Yanyan entered the room, untied her cloak, changed her deerskin boots, held the hot water bottle, sat upright on the chair, and said softly, "Uncle Liu, I went to get the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin today. You keep it, check it carefully, and present it to the palace as a tribute. This is the annual gift for the queen. It was already on the list. Don't let anyone tamper with it."

Butler Liu nodded seriously, "Okay, Miss, I will definitely keep the Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpin safe and make sure nothing goes wrong with it."

Liu Yanyan smiled and nodded, "Uncle Liu, I'm naturally confident in your work, but I'm just afraid that someone will do something bad on purpose." Nothing goes wrong with what Uncle Liu does.

When Butler Liu heard this, he clenched the wooden box in his hand and said, "Miss, I understand. I will definitely take precautions."

Liu Yanyan then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Butler Liu then took the wooden box and walked out.

When Liu Yanyan saw the pigeons flying towards the window, she was delighted. It was great that her father had written to her. She wondered what the situation was like over there.

Liu Yanyan walked over and the pigeon jumped into her hand. She grabbed the pigeon, untied the letter on it, and let the pigeon go.

When I opened the letter from my father, I saw the familiar handwriting was a little stiff. I couldn't help but tear up. My father had been wronged. I wondered how he was doing.

Outside Jinyang

Duke Liu looked at his frostbitten hands and could not help but sigh. Now the grain hoarders were selling grain at a fair price, and the disaster victims would no longer starve to death. He should go back, but he still couldn't bear to see the homeless and shivering people.

He muttered to himself, "I've said it before, I'm too soft-hearted to take on the responsibility, and now I can't bear to see him freeze to death in this winter! Not seeing it is one thing, but seeing it and not caring about it is another."

Ao Han rubbed his hands, exhaled, and said, "Duke, what are you mumbling about? Just say it! What are you hesitating about?"

Duke Liu gathered his cloak, rubbed his frozen face, and said, "After we distribute the grain and silver, we can go back to the capital."

Ao Han nodded, looking with pity at the people shivering in the straw huts in the distance, "Indeed, many ministers did leave when the disaster eased."

Duke Liu's eyes were filled with pain. He wanted to go back early to protect his daughter, but looking at these disaster victims, he couldn't make up his mind to leave. After all, his daughter was not in danger now.

Duke Liu was silent for a long time. When Ao Han thought he was going back, he said, "Let's stay for a while! Give them a hand."

Ao Han was surprised and said, "It's freezing cold, how can I help?"

Liu Guogong said, "The Chinese New Year is only a dozen days away, and spring will come after the Chinese New Year. We will buy some dilapidated houses and build new ones in the spring. We will give them money and let them work. With money, they can live a good life."

Ao Han couldn't believe it, opened his mouth in surprise, and drank a mouthful of cold wind. "This, this is very remote, it's useless to buy a house! It's also a drop in the bucket for them, it's of no help."

Duke Liu nodded. The money the court gave was not enough. Otherwise, if he gave money directly, it would not work. He could not win people's hearts and avoid suspicion. "If I can help a little, then yes. Just treat it as buying a few shops and farms for my daughter here."

Ao Han was speechless. If you buy it here, are you sure your precious daughter will come? "Okay! Okay! But we can't stay here for too long." I don't know why His Majesty trusts him and is so indecisive.

Duke Liu nodded, followed Ao Han into the carriage and headed towards the city. He did not notice that the people in the straw huts knelt down and kowtowed to them, and watched them leave for a long time before sitting up.

"Duke Liu and Commander Ao, why are they here?"

"Maybe he came to see if we were doing well!"

"It's good to be alive! It's not bad at all."

"That's right! By the way, how long have Duke Liu and his men been here? Are they leaving soon?"

"I don't know! It should be soon. I saw that the Duke's hands were all covered with frostbite."

"The Duke was afraid that they would cheat, so he hung around the soup kitchen every day, and his hands were covered with frostbite from the cold."

"When the Duke first came, his hands were clean."

"My Lord, it would be better for Commander Ao to go back, so that he won't be wronged here."

"No one will take care of us when we go back."

"Mr. Li is a very good county magistrate. He runs around for us."

"Mr. Li is a good man, but if we rely on him alone, we will starve to death!"

"Stop talking. The Duke is a high-ranking official. We can't control him. The Magistrate of Li County is also a high-ranking official. It's not something we can discuss. Speak less."

"Alas (?o﹏o?)"

"I'm just sad."

“It’s bitter!”

"It's not hard. As long as my son and daughter have food to eat and are able to survive, I am content."

"Just stay alive."

"it will be pass away."

"It will get better."

In the straw hut, faint sobbing sounds were heard. Everyone's eyes turned red and the pain was unbearable. God was too cruel.

“Woo woo woo.”~~~~

Jinyang County Government Office

County Magistrate Li sat on a crooked bench in the main hall, rubbing his hands awkwardly and looking at Duke Liu in surprise. "Duke, you said you wanted to buy a house or a farm? Or you should buy it at 9% off the normal price. Now no one wants to buy a house or a farm at even 3% off! They are all collapsing."

Ao Han also looked at Duke Liu in surprise, thinking that he was a big fool.

Duke Liu nodded and stammered to make an excuse, "These farms and shops are pretty good. I bought them and rebuilt them, and will leave them to my daughter in the future. I need a red deed."

Magistrate Li frowned and reminded, "My Lord, this house is not worth that much! You will lose money if you buy it. I can't cheat you!"

Duke Liu looked at Magistrate Li and chuckled, "I believe that with you in Jinyang City, it will develop very well in the future. I'm thinking of buying some farmland for Nannan in advance."
