Chapter 520 Entrusted with an Important Task

Hearing these words, Su Xueyi was surprised.

This is really unbelievable.

It is easy to imagine what a sensation it would cause if various vegetables could really be grown in winter.

At this moment, Su Xueyi remembered that everything his Yao Niang did would bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

You know, it is very difficult for noble families to eat fresh vegetables in winter.

You can only eat some seasonal vegetables such as cabbage and radish.

But no matter how many different ways this vegetable is prepared, everyone can get enough of it.

Many times people just want to eat some fresh vegetables and fruits.

If greenhouse vegetables could really be grown, Su Xueyi estimated that people from all over the states would come to buy vegetables and sell them.

However, vegetables are not easy to store. Fortunately, it is cold in winter, so vegetables should be able to be stored for a longer time.

Su Xueyi understood that if Yao Niang could grow greenhouse vegetables, the entire Hezhou would undergo even greater changes.

Fortunately, Hezhou has a wharf, which provides convenient transportation and fast transportation of goods.

Su Xueyi held Shen Yueyao's hand and said seriously: "Yao Niang, thank you."

Shen Yueyao blushed slightly and said, "Why are you saying thank you? I did this because I wanted to do it."

This can also be regarded as her career in this era.

Su Xueyi reached out and touched Shen Yueyao's hair lovingly.

If Yao Niang hadn't been there, Su Xueyi wouldn't have dared to imagine what he looked like now.

He thought of many things, and when he looked at Shen Yueyao, there was restrained affection in his eyes.

The two discussed the arrangements for greenhouse vegetables, farms, food streets, etc.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them decided to eat first and then rest.

…

In the next few days, Shen Yueyao took her maids Xiaoshuang and Xiaoju with her.

Xiaoshuang and Xiaoju are also very capable, and they have learned a lot of cooking skills from Shen Yueyao.

When they were in Beijing before, Xiaoshuang and Xiaoju were often responsible for cooking.

During the time we have been in Hezhou, Xiaoshuang and Xiaoju are the ones who cook and take care of Dabao and Erbao on weekdays.

She gave them recipes, and the two of them were able to make various foods according to the recipes.

Shen Yueyao also highly recognized the abilities of both of them.

She planned to keep Xiaoshuang and Xiaoju with her these days to let them know what she was going to do.

Later, she planned to make Xiaoshuang and Xiaoju her special assistants.

Su Dao is also very capable, and Shen Yueyao wants to train him to be a manager.

Su Jian followed him to the academy, responsible for protecting Dabao and Erbao.

Su Ying and Su Shan also work beside Su Xueyi.

Everyone has their own things to do.

Xiaoshuang and Xiaoju were very excited when they knew that the lady was going to take them with her to teach them and entrust them with important tasks.

They all had some sleeplessness at night.

Two people were talking in the room.

"I didn't expect that we would follow such a good master."

"Yes, since we have been with the master, we have learned a lot. We can read, cook, and do accounting."

This was something they had never dared to think about before.

The masters never treated them as servants, but as family members.

Then trust them.

Just give them the recipe as you tell them.

"Many people outside are praising the master, saying that our master is very good."

"Of course not. Our master has helped so many people and is so kind. We don't know what the situation is like in the North, but I heard that the master has saved many people in the North."

"That's all true. So many people are grateful to our master. The kang in the north was invented by our master. The villagers don't have to worry about the cold when they live there in winter."

Xiaoju and Xiaoshuang both grew up in the north and know how cold it is in the north in winter.

When they thought about how cold winter would be, they all shivered.

However, they had lived in a house with their master in the capital, so they naturally knew what a heated kang was like.

When I think of the warm kang, I feel warm all over.

They found it incredible, and they had only one feeling in their hearts, that is, their master was really powerful.

When they first followed their master, they were all trembling with fear.

Who would have thought that their master was really nice to them and never scolded them.

They are all teaching them how to do things and learn things.

Thinking of this, the two people were deeply moved.

“We must do our job well.”

"Yes, this is because the master values ​​us and trusts us."

"I heard that what the master is going to do this time can save a lot of refugees."

…

Hezhou City Gate

Many refugees who had fled Hezhou to escape famine heard the news about Hezhou and gradually returned.

A group of people who were nearby returned to Hezhou first.

Many people stood at the gate of Hezhou city wall in tattered clothes, tears in their eyes.

They are back again.

"I'm really back to Hezhou."

"It's Hezhou. Everyone is back home, back home."

"Can this go in?"

Many people had tears in their eyes when looking at the city wall.

But at the same time they were afraid, afraid that the news they heard was false.

What’s even more frightening is that this is their hometown, but now they can’t enter.

"It's better to go back to my hometown."

"Yeah, it's not as good out there as it is back home."

This is where they have lived since childhood, and they have deep feelings for their homeland.

Many people have never left Hezhou since they were young. Only after fleeing famine did they get to know a little about the land outside.

In order to survive, they went to other state capitals, but other state capitals were unwilling to accept them as refugees.

Before, you had to pay to pass through each city gate.

Many people were unable to enter the city gate and could only climb mountains and cross rivers to pass through one place after another.

Only they themselves know the hard work involved.

Most people fled famine together, moving from one village to another. This was also to keep together and take care of each other and have a sense of security.

Even so, many people died on the road.

They wanted to return to Hezhou, but everyone knew the situation in Hezhou at that time.

Even if they stayed in Hezhou, their villages were gone, they couldn't farm, and the government didn't care. They would have nothing to eat in Hezhou, and in order to survive, everyone had to flee from famine.

I also heard the news recently that notices were posted at the gates of other states, saying that the emperor had disciplined the previous prefect and sent a new prefect to Hezhou to reorganize Hezhou, saying that the people from Hezhou who originally came back to Hezhou would be settled.

At first they didn't believe it, but later they heard the exact news from an acquaintance and then came back.

If you can survive in your hometown, who wouldn’t want to go back?

The head of Mashan Village looked at the sheds at the city gate and the patrolmen, and said, "Everyone, calm down. Let's find a place to sit down and rest for a while. Daping, come with me to the front and take a look."

The head of the village was named Ma Shun. He called his eldest son, put down the things first, and then took his eldest son to the place where the officers and soldiers were in front to ask.

There was a table and chair over there, and someone was sitting there writing something, so he went over to ask.

Ma Daping frowned and said, "Dad, those officers and soldiers won't even look me in the eye. If they continue to scold and push me, I won't be able to bear it."

They were not fat to begin with, and after fleeing famine for several months, they lost a lot of weight.

Ma Daping's neck was so thin that the veins were stretched out.

Ma Shun said, "It's different. We also asked around on the way. We heard that the governors of many places have been replaced. The emperor personally transferred a group of people. You can also see that in the past two or three months, the attitudes of the officers and soldiers in various places have become much more polite."

The common people don’t quite understand the above matters, they just know that the current emperor is a good emperor.

I heard that the officials who embezzled funds for dam construction and disaster relief were all beheaded.

The emperor attaches great importance to the common people.

Ma Daping said, "Dad, don't go. I'll go and take a look."

People in the village also stepped forward one after another, "Uncle Ma, thanks to you for taking care of us all along the way, let's go ask."

"That's right. There are so many of us, and the officers and soldiers can't bully us."

Ma Shun said worriedly, "I'd better go over and ask. I don't know what's going on."

Ask him in person and he will feel more at ease knowing the situation.

Otherwise he would feel uneasy.

Their entire village fled the famine, including the entire Ma clan.

I finally got back to Hezhou, but I hope I can’t get into Hezhou.

Two or three teams followed behind, mostly from one village at a time. Everyone was whispering and looking at the city gate with dazed expressions.

They had no way to leave Hezhou at the beginning, but now that they can live and survive in Hezhou, they naturally want to return to Hezhou.
