Is there no prince in the capital who can come to distribute porridge?
Emperor Tianwu was the only son of the previous emperor, so how could he be a prince?
There are two old princes, but how could they possibly come to Menglan City to distribute porridge?
Yi Zhengjin's eyelids twitched twice, and he pursed his lips.
"Why bother with so much? Let's go back to Beijing!"
It seems that Shen Yong really has food to feed so many soldiers.
There is surplus food for distribution, and the soldiers must also have food to eat.
Although he couldn't figure out where Shen Yong got the food, it didn't affect his plan.
From this he could also see that Shen Yong did have the style of the Shen family, and everything was based on the people.
Yi Zhengjin took a deep breath, squeezed the horse's belly, turned the horse's head and ran towards the capital.
The guards looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
Smelling the fragrant rice porridge in the air, their stomachs couldn't help but growl.
Hey~
They also wanted to go to the city gate to drink porridge before leaving.
Can.....
Looking at the commander who had already run far away, the guards pursed their lips, shouted "Go" and chased after him.
The villagers of Waibo Village held their bowls of porridge and walked towards the village with smiles on their faces.
Drinking porridge while walking, I feel so good.
"father!!!"
Boss Pei shouted excitedly, "We're back!"
As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he could no longer contain his excitement.
At this time, the entrance to the village was already filled with skinny villagers squatting.
When they heard Boss Pei's voice, everyone supported each other and stood up excitedly.
“They’re back, they’re back…”
"I think I smell porridge..."
“They seem to be carrying baskets on their backs!?”
"Does joining the army really pay you?"
“…”
Boss Pei and his group looked at the villagers who suddenly appeared at the village entrance, paused, and then walked up quickly.
"father!!"
Boss Pei held half a bowl of porridge in his hands and ran straight to his father.
"Boss~" Father Pei walked over tremblingly, looking at the half bowl of porridge in front of his son, his eyes widened instantly.
"Where did this porridge come from?"
He had never eaten porridge so white and thick.
Although it was already getting dark, he could still see that the fragrant white rice porridge in the bowl was as thick as rice.
When the people around heard what Old Man Pei said, they all stretched their necks to look at what was in Boss Pei's hand.
Boss Pei grinned and said in a hoarse voice,
"These are all rewards from the prince."
"The prince has set up more soup kitchens in Menglan City. Everyone gets a big bowl, guaranteed to be full."
"And when those of us who went to join the army left Menglan City, they brought the bowls back for us."
"Our Crooked Neck Village is truly saved..."
At this time, other people who were going to Menglan City also walked into the crowd, and each of them happily gave the remaining half bowl of porridge to their family.
"Okay, okay..." Father Pei nodded excitedly.
"Okay, God has eyes."
"An hour ago, the water in our village's wells suddenly rose, and the dry riverbeds also became full of water."
"This day finally has something to look forward to."
Since meeting the noble person, good news has come one after another this day.
There was not a drop of rain in the sky, but water appeared in the rivers and wells. This was truly a miracle from the gods.
"Ah!?" The soldiers' eyes widened in shock. "Is there such a good thing?"
"Oh, by the way, when I was queuing up to sign up for the army, I heard that the prince of Menglan City was protected by the Dragon King. This water must have been obtained by the prince."
"Yes, I heard that too. They say that wherever the prince goes, the drought in that city is solved."
"Oh my God, we really have encountered a living god."
“…”
The young men in the village who did not go with the soldiers stared at the backpacks on the shoulders of the soldiers.
"What kind of salary do you get when you join the army?"
Looking at the heavy backpack, it seems that there are quite a lot of things in it.
The villagers who did not go to Menglan City felt very upset and regretted not going with them.
Not to mention the salary, just that bowl of porridge is worth their trip to Menglan City.
A bowl of porridge that big, put it in a pot and add two ladles of water to cook, is enough for the whole family to eat.
Pei Lao Er looked at the anxious villagers and said with a smile,
"Each person is given 20 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of brown rice, 20 kilograms of white flour, one kilogram of salt, five kilograms of rapeseed oil, and five kilograms of pork every month..."
As soon as Pei Laoer finished speaking, the entire village fell silent. The villagers all stared at the people carrying bamboo baskets in shock, their eyes almost popping out of their heads with excitement.
Pei Lao Er looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd, pursed his lips and continued,
"In addition to these, each person will be given 200 pieces of honeycomb briquettes every month."
Afraid that everyone didn't understand what honeycomb briquettes were, Pei Lao Er explained them in detail.
"It's just round coal with lots of holes on it, which makes it easier to burn."
"Put three pieces of coal in the stove and burn them in the house, and the house will be warm."
"I heard from the soldiers that there can be two stoves in the house, one for boiling water and one for cooking. Seven or eight pieces of coal a day are enough."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. It was hard to believe that such a generous salary was real.
This is not like joining the army, it is simply a way to enjoy life. If one person serves in the army, the whole family will not go hungry.
At this time, someone in the crowd raised a question.
