It's almost November now, and it will definitely snow in less than half a month. It's useless to plant anything.
He was so worried that he couldn't even drink his porridge.
Especially looking at the soldiers in the porridge shed, after distributing one pot of porridge, they quickly started to cook the second pot of porridge. It seemed that they were not worried at all whether there would be food to eat tomorrow. They just focused on cooking the porridge.
He wanted to stop it several times, but looking at the eager eyes of the people waiting in the long line, he couldn't open his mouth at all.
It’s impossible that the people who come first drink thick porridge, while the people who come later drink thin porridge.
What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. This principle is understood by every educated person.
Who knew that just when he was extremely worried, he suddenly saw the second wife and soldiers pulling carts of what looked like food from the prefectural government office to the military camp.
Out of curiosity, he followed the convoy to the granary and saw the granary full of grain.
He was absolutely certain that the granary was almost empty, and the little bit of grain that existed had been taken out to make porridge. It was impossible for there to be so much grain.
But the scene before him was clearly real.
Magistrate Luo was completely stunned. He felt that all this was unreal, like a dream.
Jian Guangqi smiled and patted Magistrate Luo's arm.
"You, your tolerance is still a little poor."
"Didn't I tell you, if you follow King Qianhuang, you can put your mind at ease. You will have no problem eating and wearing warm clothes."
"See these grains?"
Jian Guangqi raised his chin towards the granary.
Magistrate Luo nodded in confusion, "I saw it. Where did it come from?"
Jian Guangqi curled his lips and smiled.
"King Qianhuang asked the gods to grant this, but this is not all."
"The prince asked you to empty all those warehouses before, do you remember?"
"...I remember!" Magistrate Luo nodded, "I had the warehouse cleared out at that time."
Jian Guangqi smiled and said, "Well, those warehouses are already full of food now."
Luo Zhifu's pupils trembled suddenly, and his whole body trembled with shock.
“They’re all…all filled with food!!?”
Oh my God, so many warehouses, all filled with food, he couldn’t even imagine it.
With so much food, even if porridge was distributed every day, the people of the entire Fanjing City would not be able to finish it in a year.
Now the people of Fanjing City are truly saved.
"Of course." Jian Guangqi nodded, "How could this be false?"
"However, these granaries will be managed by the Second Madam from now on. The prince should tell you about this tomorrow."
He has discovered that the prince is planning to support his six sisters-in-law.
Every time he arrived in a city, the prince would leave one of his sisters-in-law to manage it.
As soon as the second wife finished her meal, she took the soldiers to the military camp to transport food and prepare dinner for the soldiers.
The second wife looks dignified and gentle, but she is very efficient in doing things. She is not as timid and stingy as other women, which is quite good.
"Second Madam!?" Magistrate Luo frowned, and the image of the Second Madam he had just met flashed through his mind.
She looks like a capable person, but...is it appropriate to let a woman manage soldiers?
Thinking of the group of women following King Qianhuang, Magistrate Luo frowned even more tightly.
I've heard for a long time that the seventh son of the Shen family is a playboy who is addicted to the pleasures of life. Now it seems that this news is true.
It is rare for a man to be accompanied by so many women when he goes out to fight.
He had never seen a general taking his wife to war.
However, King Qianhuang has the protection of the Dragon King, so he seems to have a better chance of winning, which is why he brought so many women with him.
Jian Guangqi smiled and pulled up Magistrate Luo.
"It was the Second Madam who just led the soldiers out to transport food."
I have to say that the Shen family has good taste in choosing wives.
Although these ladies have different personalities, they are efficient and decisive in their work and more generous than many men. Most importantly, they are kind to the soldiers and sympathetic to the people.
It is extremely rare for people in high positions to treat ordinary people like this.
He believed that if every city had a lady like this guarding it, the people of that city would be very happy.
Regardless of how rich you can live, at least you will have enough food and clothing.
Magistrate Luo stood up and dusted himself off, the corners of his mouth twitching a few times.
"I saw it, it looks really bold."
Of course, she is also very beautiful.
After a pause, Magistrate Luo hesitated for a moment, then moved closer to Jian Guangqi and asked softly,
"Has the prince's princess come with you?"
Jian Guangqi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "The prince hasn't married a princess yet. How could the prince marry a princess when his great cause is not yet accomplished?"
Speaking of the princess, Jian Guangqi couldn't help but think of the incident caused by Ran Xiangyu.
Thinking of Ran Xiangyu's behavior in the brothel, he felt uncomfortable all over.
How could a woman like this become a princess? It's too cheap.
A woman like Ran Xiangyu could be taken into the house as a concubine, but she is absolutely unqualified to be the mistress of the house.
Magistrate Luo stared at Jian Guangqi in astonishment, the corners of his mouth twitching twice.
"No...no princess, yet he has so many wives."
Damn it, the prince really doesn't care about trivial matters.
"......Huh!?" Jian Guangqi was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and laughed.
"Hahaha....."
Jian Guangqi smiled and patted Magistrate Luo on the shoulder, "You...hahaha..."
Prefect Luo was confused by Jian Guangqi's smile, frowned and patted Jian Guangqi's hand on his shoulder.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Haha..." Jian Guangqi smiled and shook his head, "Nothing."
"The ladies are the prince's sisters-in-law, so please don't talk nonsense."
It would be terrible if this news got out. The ladies would be so embarrassed if they knew about it.
“.....Ah!!?” Magistrate Luo widened his eyes in shock.
Then he remembered that Shen Yong had six older brothers, all of whom were married.
Magistrate Luo looked around nervously.
"Oh, what a misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding. This is such a huge misunderstanding..."
Seeing Jian Guangqi still laughing, Magistrate Luo raised his hand and covered his mouth.
"Brother Jian, please don't tell anyone, it's my fault for being short-sighted."
If this gets to the ears of the Second Madam, he will have a hard time living in the future.
He will have to make a living under the Second Madam in the future.
Jian Guangqi disdainfully pried open Magistrate Luo's hands.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft~~"
"The dust on your hands is all over my face..."
Magistrate Luo smiled dryly and withdrew his hand. He turned to look at the warehouse full of grain and sighed.
"In all my years, this is the first time I've seen a granary this full."
When collecting taxes every year, the granaries could only be half full at most.
And it is only placed there temporarily, and will be transported to the capital when the time comes.
So most of the time, there is only about one-tenth of the food in the granary.
"Yeah, me too!" Jian Guangqi sighed with relief.
