my lord, please eat

Chapter 61 Opening a Congee Farm

The chaos in the Ma Mansion temporarily stopped after the arrival of the Yamen.The person who came to the Yamen was not the headhunter or even the county magistrate that Ma Fuchun expected, but a young heroic man and a bunch of Yamen servants with unfamiliar faces.He doesn't know it at all.

He didn't know Xing Yihong and Gong Xiaoyong, but he knew each other.You can tell at a glance that the government is "occupied".

An Qi brought these clothes of government servants, but they were actually the hidden guards of the emperor's personal guards. Qi Qi came to Xing Yihong and knelt down on one knee: "My subordinates see the prince!"

Usually, their brothers and sisters don't have this kind of etiquette. Today, this is naturally part of the play, and this kind of thing knows how to do it without rehearsal.

Xing Yihong waved his hand, although his face was covered in black mud, Fan Er was still there. "This Ma Fuchun is rich and ruthless. He bribed the court officials, raised prices privately, and controlled grain and grass. He also slandered the monarch and pretended to be the emperor's relatives. The crime of deceiving the monarch is unforgivable! After being captured by this king, he will be beheaded outside the west gate at noon tomorrow. Show it to the public! The people of the Ma Mansion are temporarily detained in prison, and the decision will be made after the crime is verified!"

"Your subordinates obey!" After An Qi got up, he waved at the hidden guards, and immediately the Ma Mansion was full of ghosts and wolves.Ma Fuchun never dreamed that a majestic prince could "pit" himself with such a look, he really regretted it!But it's useless to shout at this time.All his hopes were on Qian Zhaozong, so he felt that he still had a chance.

But An Qi didn't give him a chance to continue his fantasy.After tying it up with his own hands, he said a word to him.That's a simple and to the point: "Qian Zhaozong will be executed with you tomorrow."

Then there was the sharpest and harshest voice in the howling of ghosts and wolves.Gong Xiaoyong picked out her ears, and felt that her Master Xiang Gonggong was definitely Xiao Bailing! ! !

The matter of Ma Mansion was handed over to An Qi and the others.Xing Yihong pulled Gong Xiaoyong out of the gate.The smog and smog in here is quite uncomfortable, hearing those yelling voices, my brain hurts.

"Is it true that even Qian Zhaozong will be beheaded tomorrow?" The two found an empty corner and entered the space, Gong Xiaoyong asked while pouring bath water.

At this time, Xing Yihong couldn't wait to strip himself naked.This dirty feeling really sucks! "Yes. It is the imperial brother's secret decree to execute Qian Zhaozong. And this Ma Fuchun deserves to die."

Gong Xiaoyong nodded: "That's true. Don't you think it's strange, I was very entangled in the matter of the sixth prince before. Now I heard that I killed these two people, why do I feel happy?" Obviously I have 20 years to live The concept of equality is amazing!This unscientific!

Xing Yihong smiled and said: "It has been said that they deserve death. I see that there are countries that have not abolished the death penalty in your laws. Some people do evil, so what's the use of not beheading them? People like Qian Zhaozong and Ma Fuchun People. Even giving them decades to reinvent themselves is useless. Some thoughts and ideas are deeply ingrained."

Gong Xiaoyong sighed: "Speaking of which, those who starved to death because of them are really wronged. I think the people in the city are like that. Before you said that people should give porridge secretly, it didn't matter. Let's open the warehouse tomorrow Put food in?"

"They didn't dare to come here blatantly. After all, Qian Zhaozong and others had the final say on this place before. There is no rush to release food. Those wealthy households like Ma Fuchun will search their homes one by one in the next two days. The food will be released after the income is counted, and those that were originally given to the people and those collected from the people will be returned at one time. Tomorrow, the porridge field will be opened first, and the food will be taken from the second batch of disaster relief food. This How about I leave it to you to take care of it?" Saying that, Xing Yihong put his arms around Gong Xiaoyong's slender waist, really feeling a little flustered these days.But still have to endure for a few days.

Gong Xiaoyong never thought that his prince would think of such a thing for a moment at this time, he really only had the matter of opening a porridge factory in his mind. "Okay! But I'm sure I can't do it alone. Let me arrange ten people. It should be enough, right?"

Xing Yihong nodded: "I will give you 20 people, and all of them must be carefully selected masters. Otherwise, I will be heartbroken if I hurt my little princess. You will have to work hard these few days. But for the convenience of recording the population , I can only order one porridge on the first day, and it will definitely be more tiring."

After curling her lips, Gong Xiaoyong shook her head: "This is not hard work. You and Brother An must be more busy. I will wash up in a while and I will go get something delicious. Bring it to Brother An later."

Xing Yihong kissed Xiaoyong's forehead helplessly.He didn't want to admit that he was a little bit jealous, but he was very relieved about his senior brother.Of course, he was more assured of his little princess. "Then is there a small stove for this king?"

Gong Xiaoyong glanced at him: "You haven't eaten a big stove any day, okay?"

An Qi didn't ask how Xing Yihong and Gong Xiaoyong found a place to wash and put on clean clothes, but he was certain that they threw the carriage away.But this is not the focus of his concern. The focus is that in the food box brought by the prince, there are one dish, one soup and four steamed buns specially made by Gong Xiaoyong.

Braised shiitake mushrooms are particularly strong in flavor.And the sauce is full of flavor.The mushroom caps without stems are soft and chewy, but the vegan dishes are as delicious as meat.The shredded ham and bamboo shoot soup is very common, but eating it in such a place has a new feeling in my heart.

After taking a sip of the soup, the delicious aroma in his mouth took away An Huwei's thoughts.At this time, the prince was flipping through the various evidences collected by these people these days, as well as the list of confiscated materials.He raised his head and glanced at the enjoying look of his senior brother, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly. "Miss sister-in-law?"

An Qi was stunned for a moment, a little red appeared on Shuran's tense face, but he still nodded: "Yes. Wen You has never gone out to play."

Xing Yihong put down all the materials in his hand and leaned on the back of the chair: "At the end of next year at the latest, we will leave Beijing together. By then, we can go wherever we want. Or you two want to live a more carefree life. I won't hold you back forever."

An Qi put down the bowl and shook his head: "I made a vow before the late emperor, even if you drive me away, you can't drive me away. Besides, Wen You only has Xiaoyong as a friend, and I don't want them to be separated."

Xing Yihong smiled and said: "Then we have to get rid of these troublesome things as soon as possible. Otherwise, the two of them can't feel at ease."

An Qi asked: "Let Xiaoyong go to work alone tomorrow, don't you worry?"

Xing Yihong picked up a suspicious ledger and flipped through two pages: "There is nothing to worry about. Xiaoyong's head is easy to use. What's more, arrange ten people to watch at the side with knives, and ten masters to do the labor behind. Who would dare to snatch it. OK It’s over, you hurry up and eat. I’ll have to see such a large pile when I’m alone. This group of people is really worse than the other!”

Gong Xiaoyong got up very early the next day.Just after the fifth watch, he got up.Xing Yihong originally wanted him to sleep a little longer, but was "rebuked" by his little princess.It's too late to start cooking porridge now, those refugees can't eat a full meal for many days, so what are you waiting for if you don't come earlier!As a result, the prince had no choice but to get up, and naturally everyone in the county government had to get up early together.

It doesn't need to be so troublesome to set up a porridge shed, it has to be treated very much in extraordinary times.Gong Xiaoyong discussed with Xing Yihong, and decided that in order to consolidate the image of the imperial court, the porridge market would be opened at the gate of the yamen.In this way, the trouble of setting up a shed is saved, and secondly, the big yard of the yamen can be directly used to set up a big pot.Anyway, the second batch of grain and grass is now stored in the yamen, and the part of grain and grass that was not stolen before is also here, so there is no need to move it around.

Cauldrons are not hard to find.But there are not so many stoves.In the end, a temporary stove had to be set up in the yard at the entrance of the lobby.Then the ten cauldrons were put on the stove together.After all this tossing, the sky is already bright.

Anyway, it is to help the victims and let them fill their stomachs, so it doesn't matter what the taste is.Gong Xiaoyong also brought over some things that were collected from Ma Fuchun's house.He felt that these refugees should eat some tasty and nutritious porridge, instead of white rice and water.After all, whether we want to build dams or dredge rivers, it is impossible without these people to work together.So he added barley, red beans and pumpkin to this porridge.Not only can replenish physical strength, these things also have the effect of dispelling internal dampness and nourishing the spleen and stomach.

Speaking of this, Gong Xiaoyong really has to thank those days when she took care of Mo Xingyun.It seems that after the food is distributed and there is no need to open a porridge shop, he really needs to carefully study the prescriptions that his second brother gave him.There is the Mo family's unique prescription there. Although it is used in case of an emergency in case of an epidemic, it cannot be handed over to an unfamiliar doctor directly.A few people were coughing quite badly just now.

Someone beat the gong and shouted in the streets and alleys of Longyu.The meaning is to let the common people go to the gate of the yamen to get porridge and drink, and bring their own things.As a result, almost everyone in the city was confused.Whether it is really no food or not much food at home.Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a lot of surplus food in the family, but I still want to save it and keep it.In short, in a short period of time, a group of people gathered at the gate of the yamen, and there was a feeling of overwhelming darkness.

Gong Xiaoyong was really dizzy.It's not that he has never seen so many people, he has never seen so many people who are so hungry that their eyes are blue.If it weren't for the fact that my lord had given these strong bodyguards with swords on their bodies, the yamen really couldn't stop the hungry people!

Gong Xiaoyong asked someone to speak first, lined up in three lines, each person got a big bowl, and left after receiving it and came back tomorrow.People who add to the barriers, fight, rob, and repeatedly claim are all driven away.In a word, it is absolutely not allowed to disturb the order of porridge delivery!

To be honest, some small bumps are inevitable.But overall it's ok.After all, the common people are still afraid of the government, and those secret guards who cook the porridge are so hard.At first, the smell of these porridges was very comfortable, but after the sun rose, I felt stuffy.Then continue after one pot is gone, there will be no time for these ten big pots like a vat.Not only in the pot, but for the rice to be cooked faster, there are people nearby who are soaking the rice in a big pot.In short, they feel that they will not think about not eating porridge in the next year, but now they want to eat meat!Heavy physical work needs energy to replenish!This is only the first day!

It was also on this day that these people in the city changed their views on the court.This is not the first time that Longyu has had floods, and other places in Hengguo have occasional disasters as well.It is not uncommon for the imperial court to open a porridge market, but the porridge has always been made of clear soup and little water. Some officials put very little rice in order to embezzle money and food for themselves, and many even mixed rice husks and sand particles into it.I have never seen anything like this today.Not only is the porridge very thick, but there are so many ingredients in it!It tastes sweet, not only on the tongue, but also on the heart.

This is much better than the rice soup distributed by the yamen last month at more than 01:30. Although two benevolent people also gave porridge in the first few days, it is a pity that the amount is not much, and most people actually did not catch up.

Gong Xiaoyong served it personally at first.This spoonful of filling is definitely a mechanical movement, and you will get tired and panic after a long time.Although he can flip the spoon, the problem is that his time is limited.After half a day, he couldn't lift his arms.The guard on the side hurriedly took the rice spoon from Wang Hao's hand. At first, he thought it was not a big deal.As a result, Shengsheng was overwhelmed by Gong Xiaoyong's eyes and words full of trust and responsibility.

Her Royal Highness looked at the long dragon that was still far away, and sighed.Originally, I naively thought that I could send out a bowl of porridge in the morning and evening, or else I would go back and queue up for another bowl if I was not full.In the end, my lord was right.Just one bowl for one person is an exaggeration, let alone free food, as long as it can guarantee that people will not starve to death.The recruitment information prepared by Xing Yihong and the others may allow more people to regain the capital of their own life through labor.
