The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 514 The granary is full

The early morning light shone on the earth. Lin Xiaofan stood in the courtyard and stretched to welcome the beginning of a new day.

Under his instruction, the interior of the Lin Mansion has been slightly changed. Now you can see a spacious view as soon as you enter the door, and it looks much more grand than before. At the same time, many pavilions and gardens have been added, making the entire yard more beautiful, like a paradise.

On the street outside the courtyard gate, many people came and went, adding a bit of popularity to the neighborhood. Before, they would never have dared to cross the city center for fear of making some young master or young lady unhappy.

At the entrance, donkey carts and ox carts were parked here, with grain in the back. These are transported from the girders.

The leading businessman lowered his voice and said:

"You guys, move this cart of food. Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at you, you're so frizzy. Move gently, this is the house of Lord Champion, don't disturb others."

A group of guards responsible for transportation also walked cautiously inside, and bags of grain were delivered to the home. The granaries that were originally half full were now almost overflowing.

If this continues, I'm afraid there will be no room for food at home. Thinking about it, Lin Xiaofan walked to the businessman and said:

"When the next batch of food arrives, just put it directly in the military camp next to Qianling Lake."

Next to Qianling Lake, even if there is a military camp, there is still a lot of wasteland left. When the time comes, we will recruit people to build a granary to store grain.

"By the way, you only brought food, but not people?"

Seeing Lin Xiaofan coming to ask questions, the businessman hurriedly bowed, put a smile on his face, patted his chest and said:

"Lord Guan, you can rest assured that we, the Tianchao Chamber of Commerce, are on their way. However, the people of the Great Shang Kingdom do not understand our great cadres, and are even a little hostile, so they move a little slower. And , We tried our best to persuade, but we could only persuade some who really couldn’t afford to eat.”

Speaking of this, the businessman's face showed embarrassment.

Daqian and Dashang have been fighting for years, and the people of Dashang do not trust Daqian.

Their caravan failed the boss and only managed to get a few hundred people. I have to say that this task is still somewhat difficult.

"But don't worry, sir, our caravan has begun to mobilize people from Daliang to Dashang to help you. We will definitely be able to find a lot of people before spring starts tomorrow."

No matter how difficult it is, whether he can attract people in the future or not, his attitude cannot make any mistakes in front of the champion.

"It doesn't have to be like this, as long as we can bring those people who don't have enough food to eat. The rest, let nature take its course."

Lin Xiaofan was not discouraged at all, but his face was filled with joy.

Ordinary people in this era have been farmers for generations and are used to hardship. As long as you have a bite to eat, you are not willing to take risks.

But as long as one or two people from each village come, they will definitely publicize the benefits they get. By then, more and more people will come.

As the population increases, national strength can be restored quickly. At that time, the gap between Daqian and Dashang will only become wider and wider. Even big merchants will perish themselves sooner or later if they don't care about it.

If it were controlled, it would either force the people not to leave the border, which would be equivalent to giving Da Gan a legitimate reason to attack. Either reduce taxes, which is equivalent to affecting the interests of all the aristocratic families. It is estimated that countless people in the court would rather die to resist.

At that time, even if there are a few loyal ministers, it will not help.

"Master Champion Hou."

A man dressed as a warrior appeared, quickly came here, bowed and saluted:

"According to your order, I brought a group of people from Dashang, a total of one hundred and twenty-eight people, seven men, forty-one women, and the rest are all children."

"There were some mistakes on the way. According to your wishes, don't do it blatantly. We left Dashang from the wilderness. The mountain road was too steep, and two children accidentally fell and broke their legs."

"We found a doctor, treated their wounds, and then carried them all the way. But for some reason, one of the children had a high fever and was about to die."

"Okay, you lead the way and I will arrange them myself."

Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly.

Taking this initiative is equivalent to tearing a hole in Dashang's defense line.

"promise!"

The two walked side by side all the way to the outside of the city.

Thin figures stood at the edge of the city gate. Their clothes were tattered and covered with dust, and they looked like a group of refugees.

However, unlike the refugees, there was no despair on their faces, but instead a hint of anxiety and anticipation.

The woman walking at the front was Liu Ersao. She was holding a child in one hand and carrying a basket on her back, which contained a red-faced child.

Her father is a doctor, and she also knows some medical skills under the influence of her ears and eyes. If someone was unfortunately bruised or sick on the road, she would find some wild herbs from the mountains to help.

After the child had a fever, she also took the initiative to take care of her. If it hadn't been for her, it's not certain whether this child would have survived to this day.

"This is Mr. Champion Hou."

The businessman said respectfully.

"Greetings to Mr. Champion Hou."

A group of people hurriedly saluted. The people who escorted them often mentioned the champion Hou Lin Xiaofan along the way. Every time I talk about it, my face is full of adoration and admiration.

Because of this, they couldn't help but admire Lin Xiaofan in their hearts.

"No gift."

Lin Xiaofan said.

"Everyone, get up. You don't need to salute me when you see me next time. You are tired from walking all the way. Come into the city with me. Eat a good meal first and take a bath. If you have any injuries, you don't have to worry. I will find a doctor in the city to help you." Look."

After that, he turned around and entered the city, but the people behind him didn't move.

This is the champion, a marquis. Compared with the other party, they are like a group of ants.

But now, the other party actually took them into the city in person. Such kindness made them feel unbearable from the bottom of their hearts, and they even lacked the courage to follow.

"Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and catch up. Mr. Champion Hou has always loved his people like his own children. Now that you are here, you are Daqian's subjects."

The businessman on the side urged.

Hearing this, they mustered up some courage and followed.

After entering the city. They followed Lin Xiaofan cautiously, always keeping a little distance. Looking up and around, I saw that the people on the roadside were all wearing cotton-padded clothes, with smiles on their faces, and some were looking at them.

"Master Champion Hou."

"Master Lin."

The people passing by greeted Lin Xiaofan, but no one even saluted. This made them even more shocked. What the Lord said was actually true. There was no need to salute when they saw him.

Looking up again at the figure walking in front, they couldn't help but feel close to each other.

This adult seemed different from those they had seen before.
