I Emptied the National Treasury for Exile, and Everyone Won Big

Just transmigrated, and she was already forced into a substitute marriage. Leng Yue decisively acted, getting rid of the wicked woman, scumbag father, and vicious stepmother.

As she was about...

Chapter 166: The Founding of a Shrine

Leng Yue did not forget to distribute the money he found from the two dog officials in Xinping County to everyone.

Leng Yue converted the antique paintings and calligraphy, as well as jewellery, into money and distributed it to everyone. The total amount was less than three million taels of silver, which Leng Yue rounded up to an even number and divided equally among them.

Including the indigenous people of Liangshan Mountain and the people of Xinping County, there are nearly 30,000 people in total, which means that each family will receive 100 taels of silver.

Leng Yue exchanged the remaining silver for food and gave it to everyone as subsidies.

The food supply will be based on the previously agreed standard of one pound per person per day, until food grows in the fields.

The people didn't expect that they would actually receive food when they arrived at Liangshan, and the amount was not reduced at all, but was distributed according to the standards agreed upon before.

Not only were they given food, but they also received money, and later on they would also receive pots, pans, bowls, and bedding. They all cried with joy, as their good days had finally come.

The family hugged each other and cried and laughed, which scared Huo Jingxuan and others who were meeting with the village heads and village officials in front.

Thinking that a riot had broken out, they all rushed over here.

The village heads and village heads were not as skilled in martial arts as Huo Jingxuan, Liaochen and the secret guards, so they were left far behind.

He ran forward, cursing, "These idiots, we've only been away for a short while, and they're already causing trouble. They're just hungry, right? We should starve them for two more meals, and see if they can still cause trouble again."

The older village heads at the back were also extremely anxious, and urged the people in front, "Stop cursing, run quickly, and persuade them when you get there. You should apologize and make amends. You can't offend these cash cows and living Buddhas. Otherwise, if they leave, tens of thousands of us will just wait to die!"

The imperial court has not cared about our lives for three years. We finally have hope. If anyone makes me angry and runs away again, I will take them with me even if I have to sacrifice my old bones!"

After hearing this, the village heads ran forward as fast as they could, fearing that if they were late, the villagers would offend Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan and make them run away.

When they arrived there, before they had even caught their breath, they discovered that they had misunderstood. The villagers were not causing any trouble, and they couldn't cause any.

We have distributed money, food and other things, and if they cause trouble again, it will be really unforgivable!

The several village heads who followed closely behind finally arrived and saw that the village heads were standing motionless at the door, wiping their tears.

They thought, it’s over, the living Bodhisattva is gone, and now the people of Xinping County are doomed!

He picked up his walking stick and pushed aside the village heads who were blocking the door, and was about to rush in and beat the troublemakers to death.

He was still shouting, "I'm going to beat you to death, you're trying to kill us all!"

As a result, when I rushed in, I found out that I had misunderstood.

The villagers were jumping and dancing with silver, food and other things in their arms. Some were crying, some were laughing, and some even knelt down and kowtowed to Leng Yue, Huo Jingxuan and the others.

"Benefactors, you are our great benefactors!

After three years, someone finally cares about our lives. We have finally made it through!"

The village chiefs quickly threw away their crutches and knelt down in front of Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan.

Then he said: "You are the living Bodhisattvas sent by God to save us!

We will build a shrine for you to bless you with a safe and smooth life."

The villagers responded one after another, "Yes, let's build a shrine for you. You saved our lives, and we will worship you for the rest of our lives."

It was hard to refuse the kindness of the people, but Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan felt that they did not deserve it.

It is obvious that the people live such a hard life because of the court's inaction and the officials' corruption and lawlessness.

After that, the two discussed and decided to build ancestral temples for Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, Chen Zhenlong, the father of sweet potato, and Li Zhensheng, the father of wheat.

Because the food they provided to the people and the things they were going to teach them to grow were all invented by these three people and brought back at the risk of their lives, and they were just a middleman, so they could not claim the credit.

Afterwards, Leng Yue took out ten pigs from the space, killed them and gave everyone some meat dishes. Although there was not much meat, it was at least some fishy taste for everyone to enjoy.

Just these few things made the people as happy as if it were New Year, and smiles appeared on their faces after a long time.

When the children smelled the rice and meat, they were finally no longer confined at home by their adults and started running and jumping around the pot.

I am happy just by smelling it, not to mention that I can eat it later.

After a long absence, everyone had a full meal. Afterwards, Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan said to the villagers: "Anyone who is familiar with the roads in the mountains and is willing to go into the mountains to inform the villagers there to come to Liangshan to get food will be rewarded with ten kilograms of rice immediately.

And for every person you bring back before noon tomorrow, you will be rewarded with one pound of flour, no upper limit."

The atmosphere became chaotic. When the villagers heard about rice and flour, their eyes widened. Leng Yue then directly opened the rice and flour and placed them in front of the villagers.

The visual impact is more direct than words, and villagers who are familiar with the mountain roads immediately signed up.

More than a hundred people signed up one after another. Most of them were hunters, and there were also a few woodcutters. They had been chopping wood in the mountains for a long time and naturally knew the ways in the mountains.

In order to earn enough food for their children and the few remaining elders in their families, these pillars of the family took the dry food and water prepared by Leng Yue for everyone and set out overnight.

This was an emergency and there was no other choice. Besides, all the wild animals in the mountains had fled, otherwise they could not be allowed to go up the mountain so late at night.

Later, many servants and lackeys from wealthy families came to the outskirts of Liangshan to inquire about the news.

They all said that Liangshan was distributing food, and in one afternoon almost all the people in the county ran away, all heading for Liangshan.

Rich people are always well-informed, so they send people to find out the news.

Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan had thought of this a long time ago, and had instructed their brothers down the mountain in advance that if anyone came to ask, they would directly tell them the news of the Earth Dragon's resurgence.

As for whether they believe it or not, or whether they come or not, it depends on their own choice. She will not force them.

Those guys rely on their money and food, they don't lack these things, and there should be a better place to go than Liangshan.

Leng Yue didn't want them to come either. If they came, they would be picky and find fault with her. If they acted like a big shot, she would be very angry. She would have to beat them out the same way they came.

You can't let a piece of rotten meat make the whole pot smell bad!

After that, I planned with Huo Jingxuan to borrow military horses. We had the men, food, and military funds, and now all we needed were the horses.

The couple simultaneously turned their gazes to Chen, "Brother, don't you claim to know everything in the world?

Can you tell us where there are large numbers of military horses nearby?"
