In recent days, the people in the city have dug up all the grass roots and tree bark. These grass roots and tree bark have been hidden for who knows how long, and they have all turned black and yellow, covered by yellow sand.
Looking at their remorseful and apologetic faces, Qin Yue Zhao didn't reach for the gold and silver treasures first. Instead, she took the grass roots and tree bark from their hands, her eyes reddening, and said:
"Get up, all of you. From now on, you will no longer have to eat grass roots and tree bark. The gods have promised me that they will bestow more food, and from now on, everyone will receive two bowls of rice porridge every day!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up in disbelief.
"Your Highness, are you serious? There's porridge every day, and I can even eat two bowls?"
"That's great, Grandpa! I don't have to worry about being caught and eaten anymore, right?"
"Thank God! My son no longer has to worry about not having enough milk, and I no longer have to worry about him being taken by the head of the household to exchange for food. Long live Your Highness!"
"My son, we're saved! We'll never die again!"
Some people were so excited that they became incoherent, burst into tears, and kowtowed to her frantically.
Seeing everyone bowing to her, Qin Yuezhao changed the subject:
"Alright, everyone, don't get too excited. There's a requirement that everyone should have two bowls of rice porridge."
Upon hearing this, everyone raised their heads.
There are also requirements; it's not like the supply will only last for a few days and then stop, is it?
But Qin Yue Zhao slowly said, "The gods said that there is no free lunch in the world. No matter how much food they bestow, we cannot sit idly by and eat it all up."
"Therefore, this princess needs you to do work relief. Young men, please build city walls, help with farming, and construct houses. The elderly, women, and children, please help with sewing and mending. Are you willing?"
So it wasn't that the supply only lasted a few days and then stopped?
"We'd do it! As long as we don't go hungry, we'll do anything!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We're willing to work to make up for our mistakes!"
However, some people noticed something was wrong and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, we are originally farmers, and farming is our forte, but now we have water but no seeds."
Only with seeds can fresh grains and fruits be grown.
But since the famine started, all the seeds have been eaten.
Qin Yue Zhao also remembered something important and frowned slightly.
"Don't worry about that for now. I will ask the gods to grant me the seeds. You can go and help with other things first."
After saying that, she waved to Uncle Zhou.
Uncle Zhou collected the gold and silver treasures from everyone's hands and led them away happily.
After everyone left, Qin Yue Zhao hurriedly went into the room, put the gold and silver treasures into the treasure basin, and then found paper and pen to write on it:
"Gods above, Yue Zhao distributed porridge to the people, enabling them to participate in work relief, but Liangcheng is in dire need of reconstruction, lacking even seeds. Could the gods bestow some seeds upon us?"
"Yue Zhao has no way to repay the gods, so she can only express her gratitude with these coarse things like gold and silver. She begs the gods not to abandon her."
After buying up all the beef and mutton from the entire barbecue street, Chu Xiao lay down on the bed, full and satisfied.
It was already 1:30 a.m., but looking at the familiar room and familiar objects, he couldn't fall asleep.
Although his bed had been changed from mahogany to European style, and the sheets and blankets were all new, he still felt disgusted when he thought about how Shen Qingqing and Zhao Qian had rolled around on it.
Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from the copper basin.
Then, as soon as he stood up, his foot stepped on a hard, smooth object, and he almost fell.
Looking down, I was surprised to find that it was a shiny black inkstone.
