Chapter 296 Refugees Arrive
Feng opened the window curtain and looked outside, and saw a boy being kicked in the stomach by three or four people.
It was a little far away, so Feng could not see the face of the man being beaten.
She just shook her head, "I don't know what he did wrong to be punished here and humiliated like this. It seems that he will be punished in the future."
Jiang Fengze did not respond, because at this time, the village manager saw their carriage and trotted over attentively.
After asking for the identity and knowing that the person coming was the Marquis of Guanwai, the steward hurriedly bowed and greeted, "I am the steward Zhao who is in charge of the tenants and paddy fields here. Lord Jiang, why did you bother to drive here in person? If you want to know something, just send someone to call me and I will report it to you."
Jiang Fengze got off the carriage and waved his hand, "I am just a Marquis of Guanwai, not worthy of the title of Marquis. You can just call me the commander, and I will feel more comfortable."
"I came here today just to see my land. It's not a big deal."
Manager Zhao quickly changed his words and led him to look at the place not far away. "Commander Jiang, there are two hundred acres over there. They are the land of you and Mr. Xiao. I will take you to have a look."
At this time, Feng heard it and came down with Xiao Nuobao in her arms. "Don't bother you. We can go and have a look ourselves. Manager Zhao, please go and do your work first."
Although their family was living better and better, the Jiang family was from a farming family and they were unwilling to ask for money from people of lower status than themselves.
Manager Zhao knew the limits and saw that they didn't want to be disturbed, so he retreated honestly.
When they got there, they looked around and saw a large piece of fertile land.
There were canals all around, which would be very convenient if they needed to irrigate the land in the future.
Mrs. Feng looked at the land and couldn't help but laugh, "This land is good. Although it is far from us, it is very productive. I'm afraid that one mu on each side can be equivalent to two or three mu in our village."
Jiang Fengze rubbed his hands and laughed, "It just so happens that Xiao Lanyi and I have land next to each other. Mother, when the time comes, we will follow your arrangement of what you want to plant and how to plant it."
Although she has not asked Xiao Lanyi yet, Jiang Fengze has already been accustomed to treating his affairs as her own and making decisions on her own.
"Such a good land is most suitable for growing rice, but growing Persian radishes can make more money." Mrs. Feng thought to herself.
When Xiao Nuobao heard about Persian radishes, his mouth secreted saliva.
Unfortunately, the radish had already been eaten. She kicked her feet and said, "Mom, let's plant radishes. Radishes are delicious and easy to sell!"
Feng and Jiang Fengze couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, then listen to the young lady and plant radishes!"
"Listen to my sister and plant Persian radishes!"
Seeing that the land was indeed very good, the crops to be planted were also decided, and the four of them were about to rush back.
Before leaving, Feng asked Fengze to take some change and give it to Manager Zhao as a reward, as if to invite him to have tea and let him take more care of the management of the land.
Manager Zhao was very happy. He took note of this and wanted to give the most diligent tenants in the village the two hundred acres of land next year.
On the way back, Jiang Fengze took a long detour to buy something in the city.
When passing by the east of the city, he suddenly saw a few people who looked like scholars setting up a porridge shed and distributing food to some refugees.
Jiang Fengze was surprised and stopped the carriage to ask. Only then did he know that these people were refugees from Changbai City.
"Although the war in Changbai City has stopped, many crops and houses were destroyed when the pirates attacked. These people planted a year's land, but it was destroyed before the autumn harvest. They had nothing to eat, so they fled to our Yuncheng." One of the people who distributed food said with a sigh.
Jiang Fengze turned to look at the refugees. Seeing that they were all in rags and barefoot in this cold weather, he shook his head uncomfortably.
"I thought that if the war was won, the people of Changbai City would be saved." He sighed uncomfortably.
The man who gave the food also had a sympathetic look on his face. "The great victory in the war did save a lot of people, but there are still some poor people who were disturbed by those damned northern thieves. They had to be separated from their families and lost their livelihoods."
When Xiao Nuobao heard this, he looked at the refugees outside the carriage, and then looked at the thick blanket and beautiful clothes in his own carriage.
His face drooped for a moment, and his heart was sour.
At this time, the kindhearted people who gave out rice said, "It's a pity that we don't have enough ability to give out porridge. If someone can give more food, at least they can survive until the end of the year, and there will be hope in the spring of next year."
Xiao Nuobao's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking of her own offerings.
Not enough food?
But she has it!
On weekdays, her offerings, in addition to sending some to Xianquanju, the rest are not consumed, and they are almost piled up into a small mountain. She is still worried.
So the little guy quickly moved his hands, and he took out some rice, noodles, cabbage and potatoes, and threw them all on the box behind the carriage.
Noticing that the carriage suddenly collapsed, Feng cried out, and when he went out to take a look, he almost jumped up in surprise.
Fortunately, she had been "frightened" by the lady more than once, so she touched her chest and cooperated with the lady tacitly.
"Oh, Fengze, it's just right. We have brought a lot of food." Feng pulled Fengze over and blinked, "Give it to them quickly, it can help these refugees survive for a few days."
Jiang Fengze looked at what was in front of him, his mouth wide open, fortunately he had seen his sister's ability, so he took a breath and responded.
The mother and daughter sang in unison to the people who gave away food.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot that we bought a lot of food today, why don't you take it all and consider it as our contribution." Jiang Fengze blinked.
"There's so much rice, flour and potatoes, let's move them together!" Feng called out to everyone.
Seeing the two people outside "pretending" to be very good, Xiao Nuobao smiled and shrank his neck. Then, when no one was paying attention, he threw another bag of rice over!
