Chapter 540: Inspecting the Pit

Qin Chuchu leaned in the man's arms and was confused for a long time before she woke up. She found herself sitting in a carriage.

Seeing Chuchu being woken up, the man frowned and was about to ask what was going on outside when Feng Qi's voice came over.

"Your Majesty, we've arrived at Dongping Town!"

"Huh? We're in Dongping Town!" Qin Chuchu was delighted and grinned.

She pushed the man away and crawled out of the carriage. When she saw countless pairs of eyes staring at her, the corners of her mouth twitched.

“………………”

Holy crap! Why are there so many people here?

I thought there were only the group of people I brought with me outside, but I never expected that there were so many people and cars.

There are mule carts, horse carts, and donkey carts. Looking around, the view is filled with all kinds of vehicles.

Moreover, there were at least three or four people in each car, most of them were middle-aged men, and some were a little older.

The man in the carriage and Murong Bai also saw the situation outside through the window and were shocked.

I didn't expect there were so many people and cars outside. Although I don't know what they are doing, I guess it must be related to their arrival.

Looking at Chuchu blocking the door of the carriage, still motionless, she must have been shocked by the scene outside.

Murong Bai wanted to tap the back of her head with the fan in his hand.

"Get out of the way."

But as soon as the fan was raised, it was stopped by the man's hand.

"Put away your crap!"

Han Muchen glared at Murong Bai with dissatisfaction. He actually dared to use that broken fan to hit Chu Chu. That broken thing was made of black iron. What if she got hurt?

“…………”Murong Bai remained silent.

Look how distressed this guy is, as if he can't exert much strength.

When Qin Chuchu turned around, she saw the two men staring at her, and quickly climbed down.

Han Muchen then withdrew his dissatisfied look and followed him.

Liu Qing followed at the back, and seeing how the prince was protecting that dead woman, she would be lying if she said she wasn't angry.

She inadvertently glanced at the man in front of her again, a blush crossed her face, and it seemed that Prince Murong also loved his wife.

After I marry him, I will definitely be happier than that dead woman, and there will be someone who loves me so much.

Seeing the prince and princess coming down, Deputy General Zhao hurried over.

"Your Highness, Princess, these are the village heads from Qingzhou Prefecture. They're almost all here."

As he spoke, he pointed to the people behind him. When he came back this morning, he saw them waiting at the gate of the government office. He realized that many of them did not go home last night and had been waiting to hear news.

I heard that the prince would come to inspect this afternoon, so he rushed here specially to wait with me.

Upon seeing the prince and princess, all the village heads hurried forward to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Prince and Princess."

Looking at the prince and princess in front of them, they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts. If it weren't for the prince and princess, they would have fled like the people in other villages last year.

Given the current domestic situation, it is hard to say whether he will survive or not.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, the man's expression was calm.

"Get up!"

Everyone then stood up and looked at Deputy General Zhao eagerly, waiting for him to help them question him.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Lieutenant General Zhao spoke first.

"Your Majesty, let's start from Dongping Town!"

He pointed to an area in front of him. This was the first town out of the Far North, and it looked more convenient.

Following his finger, everyone looked into the distance, where a group of men, women, young and old were busy digging a pit under the scorching sun.

"Okay." The man nodded and walked forward.

A large group of people followed and walked towards the crowd in front.

The people were busy digging a pit, and they were really scared when they suddenly saw so many people coming.

Especially those women who had never seen the world, had never seen such a scene before, and since they were all men, they subconsciously hid behind the men.

Some quickly grabbed their children into their arms, fearing that they would be snatched away.

Seeing the villagers so frightened, a skinny old man squeezed out of the crowd, came straight to the front, and hurriedly greeted his villagers to pay their respects to the prince.

"What are you still standing there for? Come over and meet the prince and princess!"

As the old man spoke, he stood in front of the villagers and was about to lead them to pay their respects to the prince and princess when he was stopped by the man.

"No thanks!" The man said in a low voice and glanced at the people in front of him.

There were men, women, young and old, all holding weapons in their hands, their heads and faces flushed from the heat, and at this moment, they were staring at him with horror.

"Then I will lead the villagers to thank the prince."

The old man bowed and looked back at the people who were still confused.

"Quickly move aside and let the prince and princess see the pit we dug."

Perhaps because he was too excited, his voice was not only loud but also a little shaky, which woke up all the villagers.

They all moved to the sides and stood properly.

Han Muchen pulled Qin Chuchu in front and came to the pit. He looked down and saw that it had been dug more than ten meters deep, which should be enough.

While I was thinking about it, the old man came over and explained.

"Your Highness, this pit we dug is based on the dimensions of the one we dug at home, and it also covers an area of ​​one acre."

Because the pit at home was this big, they dug it according to the area of ​​the house.

"Well, how many have you dug?"

After the man asked, he ran to the pit in front again. The old man followed behind him and answered obediently.

"Your Highness, there are thirty households in our village, and now each family can be allocated two pits on average."

"Yeah." The man nodded again.

Coming to the pit in front, he looked inside again. They were all pretty much the same, so he looked at the people behind him.

"Is the size of the dig you made also this big?"

Seeing that the prince was asking questions, the village heads all came forward.

"Yes, the ones we dug in our village were of this size."

“So are those in our village!”

Everyone nodded, because the greenhouse at home was of this size, so they dug it according to the size of their home.

Qin Chuchu followed the man and looked ahead, seeing only dug pits.

He looked back at the people behind him. Not only elderly people, but even children in their teens had joined the battle.

I have truly experienced what it means that unity is strength.

Murong Bai also followed behind, watching quietly, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Looking at the people in front of him, who were so united, how could he worry about not having a good life?

I couldn't help but admire Han Muchen in my heart. Although he was a little narrow-minded, there were still many things worth learning from him.

As he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he looked towards the woods ahead.

“…………”

I always feel like there are malicious eyes staring at me.
