Chapter 444: Locusts Crossing the Border
After hearing Feng Yi's words, everyone looked incredulous.
They looked at each other, trying to confirm whether they had heard correctly.
Seeing what they were thinking, Feng Yi patiently explained again.
"The prince sees that the food you brought is not much, and the greenhouses are not planted yet, so for the time being, I will give each of you some food to avoid running out of food.
After this busy period is over, we will assign tasks to each of your families. Then you will be able to earn money and won’t go hungry.”
“…………”The scene was silent.
After a long while, the crowd became noisy again, and everyone knelt down in unison towards the man behind Feng Yi.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Princess!"
Although everyone's voice was not loud, there were too many people at the scene, and the sound was deafening.
Since coming here, there have been so many unexpected things, one surprise after another.
I didn't expect that the prince would even take care of this matter. I am so touched.
Feng Yi also knew why they were so excited, so he waved at everyone.
"Everyone, get up. Now that you are here, the prince will not ignore you.
Each of your families will send two representatives to the square to find Steward Liu. Families with no more than ten people can receive a bag of food.
There are also quite a few tricycles over there, which will be pushed over here soon. We have to hurry to transport soil from Heitu Mountain.
Plant your greenhouses sooner so you can eat fresh vegetables sooner."
"Thank you, sir!" Everyone kowtowed in unison, then stood up, holding back their tears.
"Hurry up, we still have a lot to do!" Feng Yi urged again.
Each family then ran to the square and looked at the large black mass in front of them. It was moving towards the square as quickly as a swarm of locusts, which made Concubine Jing stare at it in amazement.
"Chen'er, do you have so much food?"
She looked at her son with concern. How much food would be needed to share among so many people? Her son would definitely go bankrupt.
Seeing his mother's thoughts, the man curled his lips in satisfaction.
"I don't have it, but Chuchu does!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Chuchu, who was sitting on his feet, stretching her neck to look into the distance.
Even Feng Yi, who was standing by, couldn't stand his smug look.
“…………”
The master is quite loyal in eating this gigolo!
When her name was called, Qin Chuchu looked up at the man, then at the old woman, and nodded seriously.
"Yeah, I do!"
She was not lying. She did have quite a bit of gold in her own space, and she hadn't used the gold she had gotten from the original owner's scumbag father's vault yet.
Even the pharmaceutical factory and the glass factory have made a lot of money recently, and there is also the more than three million taels given by the Living King of Hell today.
There were only a few people there, and she wouldn't even need to use a fraction of the money to feed and drink them. It was a piece of cake for her.
Besides, the business will make money in the future. Although it seems that I spend more than I earn now, it is only temporary.
Once everything here is on track, there will be no need to spend money, and the money earned can be saved.
“…………” Concubine Jing’s mouth twitched.
After taking a look at Qin Chuchu, it seemed that this silly daughter-in-law would never be able to turn things around in her life, as she was being completely controlled by her own son.
Soon, people came back from the square, some carrying food, and some pushing their own carts.
Some of them came back in groups on tricycles. Although the means of transportation were different, their mood was the same.
Everyone was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Any family of no more than ten people could get a bag of food. Looking around, the scene was quite shocking.
Looking at the bags of food they took, Concubine Jing was shocked again.
“…………”
Oh my God! How much silver would that be for so much food?
He turned around and looked at Qin Chuchu in front of him. How much dowry did this daughter-in-law get? How come she is so rich?
Qin Chuchu disagreed. Although what she saw was quite shocking, she didn't feel much. After all, she had seen too many people in the past two days and was used to it.
But looking at the food these people were holding, I was glad that I bought some more, otherwise there would not be enough to eat.
Even the man thought so. He looked at the food carried by the people and then at Chuchu who was sitting at his feet.
Fortunately, Chuchu bought a lot of food at the beginning, otherwise there might not be enough now.
Feng Yi's eyes widened.
“…………”
His princess is so rich, how much silver would all this food cost!
Although he had visited the warehouse before, he was still shocked when he saw the food in everyone's hands.
The scene was quiet for a short while before it was filled with people coming to retrieve food, but they soon disappeared again, just like mice digging holes, and they all went back into their own yards.
After a while, the wide streets and rows of sparkling glass houses appeared before my eyes again.
Although no one spoke, they all had the same thought in their minds: this was almost like a miracle.
Just as everyone was staring at the front, a noisy sound of mules and horses came from the distance.
“…………”Everyone turned around.
I saw a convoy of cars, the end of which was as far as the eye could see, slowly approaching this side. When it got closer, I could clearly see Feng Si standing in front.
"Boss He, why are you here?"
Qin Chuchu quickly stood up from the man's feet and rushed over first.
"Boss He?" Concubine Jing looked at her son with a confused look on her face.
When did Feng Si change his surname to He?
Han Muchen looked at his mother, touched his nose subconsciously, suppressed the smile on his lips and said nothing.
But this had already allowed Concubine Jing to guess roughly what was going on, and she shot an eyeball directly at him.
“…………”
I guess it has something to do with my daughter-in-law. It's useless to do that.
Seeing Qin Chuchu, Feng Si hurriedly bowed.
"Princess, the prince asked me to hire some carriages, and they were delivered today!"
He pointed to the convoy behind him and came to the man again.
She glanced at Concubine Jing lightly, then bowed to the man.
"Your Highness, I have hired almost all the carriages at the fair. What are your instructions?"
Before the man could say anything, Feng Yi came up and pointed at Concubine Jing.
"This is my prince's mother, Concubine Jing!" He began to introduce her seriously.
Feng Si glanced at Concubine Jing, and his originally calm eyes were instantly filled with surprise, and he hurriedly saluted.
"I, a humble commoner, was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai. Please don't blame me, Concubine Jing!"
“………………”Princess Jing.
She glanced at Feng Si who was pretending to be stupid, then looked at everyone who was trying to hold back their laughter. She really wanted to knock him on the head, but she held back in the end.
"Well, get up!"
He looked at Qin Chuchu in front of him with sympathy. This silly daughter-in-law was stunned by these bad boys.
“………………”Everyone was trying to hold back their laughter, and they all knew what the Queen was thinking.
Only the silly Qin Chuchu was unaware of it. Seeing that her mother didn't seem to like Boss He very much, she hooked her arm.
"Mother, Boss He is a very nice person!"
