"Wedding cakes..."
"The princess is pregnant with the prince!"
“We’re handing out wedding cakes!”
"Come on, come on, every household has one."
"As many wedding cakes as there are people!"
Bai Yu walked in the village with a smile on his face.
There were many soldiers following behind him.
They carried baskets of ready-made wedding cakes.
Led by the old village chief, they lined up to receive cakes.
"Commander Bai, the princess is pregnant?"
"certainly."
"That's great news!" The old village chief laughed and said quickly, "Is there anything we can do for you? Our village's old hens are quite nutritious. How about bringing some back for the prince?"
"No need." Bai Yu shook his head and raised his hand, saying, "There's no shortage of food and drink in the palace. If you live a good life, that's better than anything else. The prince also instructed that any family with a pregnant woman will be given a pot of wine. Any family with a child under three years old will be given ten pounds of mutton. Please complete the statistics today, and it will be delivered within half a month."
"I would like to thank the prince here!"
The old village chief's face was full of emotion.
Ning Que is ruthless, but he loves his people like his own children.
People like this are really rare.
He had lived so long and had come into contact with many officials. Regardless of whether they were good or bad, they would try their best to win over the local powerful. The better ones might stay out of it, but they couldn't change anything. The worse ones would collaborate with the gentry and exploit the people.
But what did Ning Que do?
Directly suppress local tyrants!
Send troops to each county!
If you don’t accept it, then fight me!
"This wedding cake is really delicious."
"Commander-in-Chief, can I have one more?"
"There's some left, take it." Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying calmly, "Let me ask you, is the prince good to us all?"
"good!!!"
"The prince is in trouble, will you help?"
"Is that even a question?"
"Anything is possible with the prince's word!"
"Yes, through fire and water!"
"Very good." Bai Yu nodded in satisfaction and instructed, "Winter is approaching, and everyone has finished their farm work. Workshops are being established in various counties, and they are in urgent need of manpower. Anyone who works will receive two meals a day and wages. It doesn't matter if you are young or old, male or female, as long as you are willing to work."
"Is there such a good thing?"
The old village chief was suddenly delighted.
Not only is the food provided, but there is also salary?
Just as Bai Yu said, winter is relatively free.
Sometimes they would do some farm work during the cold winter.
Like repairing farm tools and houses.
Or weave some bamboo baskets and fish baskets.
"Um."
"You guys take care of the arrangements."
"I want to visit other villages."
"Prepare the list and submit it when the time comes."
The old village chief nodded in understanding.
The villagers are also eager to try it out.
"Village chief, count me in!"
"Village chief, I have strength and I can make adobe bricks!"
"Village Chief, I will argue!"
“…”
The old village chief looked at them with a smile.
This is actually about putting yourself in other people's shoes.
Ning Que helped them, so they should do something too.
…
…
Bang!
Gu Yuan's eyes were bloodshot.
He stared at Lin Jiang.
"Is everything you said true?"
"General, this news has spread throughout the city." Lin Jiang lowered his head and raised his hand, saying, "If you don't believe it, go out and ask around and you'll find out. Shen Qinghe is pregnant, and Ning Que has posted a notice offering rewards to the entire Linzi area. I heard they've already arranged for someone to go to Chang'an to report the news."
“Damn it!”
"How come he has another child?"
Gu Yuan was so angry that his teeth were itching.
He was completely deposed by Samuel and turned into a eunuch.
It is impossible to have children in this life.
But Ning Que was pregnant again.
Ning Que's status and position are here.
If there was a prince left, it would be troublesome. Even if Ning Que was killed, the Ning Wang bloodline would continue. In ten years or so, he would probably become an obstacle to them again.
Think about Ning Que, isn’t it like this?
The old King Ning and three princes died in battle.
Finally, only Ning Que was left.
But what about now?
Gu Yuan paced back and forth anxiously.
I was also extremely angry.
"General, Ning Que takes this matter very seriously."
"I started searching the whole city for a suitable midwife."
"Obviously they are preparing in advance."
"Damn it!" Gu Yuan kicked the table viciously and shouted angrily, "You are all useless! I told you to plant people in the palace earlier, but now not even one person has been able to get in. It's hard for me to even poison Shen Qinghe!"
"And the powerful Tian family..."
"These old guys come here every now and then to make a fuss."
"When the King of Qi comes, I'm afraid he will scold me again."
Gu Yuan was extremely angry.
Of course he knew that Tian Zhongxun was using him.
But at the same time, he was also using Tian Zhongxun.
Without Tian Zhongxun's help, he would not have been able to get to the position.
As a result, all kinds of things fell on him.
The key is that they have to endure the bullying of these powerful families with the surname Tian.
Everyone treated him like a stray dog.
Don't treat him as a human being at all.
He was bossed around.
But who are these people?
Although they are all surnamed Tian, they are all within the five generations of the deceased.
Lin Jiang looked embarrassed.
The people in the palace are not ordinary people.
Even the men who worked as errand boys in the palace were carefully selected. A clean family background was the minimum requirement. Without sufficient loyalty, one would never be promoted in this life and would only be able to do odd jobs forever. To plant spies in the palace was harder than climbing to heaven!
