Chapter 44: So Happy
On the day of Little New Year, he first went to visit the disaster victims who were building houses. With the help of the garrison, they finally finished building all the houses before the New Year.
At least the victims could celebrate the New Year in their new home. Lu Chenyang was very happy and sent a lot of mushrooms. He gritted his teeth and bought two pigs.
Lingnan has a humid climate, and the mountains and plains are full of mushrooms, all of which are very delicious.
The victims are very grateful to Lu Chenyang. It was Lu Chenyang who gave them a new life. Before leaving home, who could have imagined that they could live such a life?
Lu Chenyang sat with everyone and talked about plans for next year.
"This land has been allocated to you. The government will distribute seeds after spring. You should cultivate the land well." Lu Chenyang said, "And I have also allocated a piece of land over there on the terraced fields. Don't use this land to grow crops, but to grow medicinal herbs."
Yu Dayong asked, "Sir, can I go hunting in the mountains?"
Lu Chenyang looked at him and said, "Of course you can. From now on, all official documents issued by the government office will have to wait until the spring."
Yu Dayong's eyes lit up: "Thank you, sir!"
They can take root here, settle down and live a stable life.
Lu Chenyang looked at everyone's hopeful gazes and curled his lips: "I promise everyone, the future will get better and better."
Lu Chenyang went to see the East District again. The public security in the West District was already very good. Cao Sanda managed the West District well. After the New Year, Lu Chenyang would expand this management method in the West District to the entire county.
Someone actually recognized Lu Chenyang and had the courage to talk to him.
Lu Chenyang chatted with the people with a smile.
The people were very happy because they didn't expect Lu Chenyang to be so approachable.
Lu Chenyang also asked: "Have you received all the finished cotton-padded clothes?"
The Shen family's batch of cloth has been made into cotton-padded clothes and distributed to the people. The East District is where the poor people gather in Yanquan County, and the most cotton-padded clothes have been distributed there.
"I received it, I received it. It's so warm. Thank you, sir." Someone said gratefully.
Lu Chenyang smiled and said, "These clothes are for you to wear during the winter. As long as you can get through this winter, you will be fine. If anyone else pawns their clothes, you must help me supervise them and tell me when the time comes at the county government office."
Many people pawned the clothes they received for silver, not for themselves, but for the elderly or children in their family.
It was Chang Jing who told Lu Chenyang about this. He was so angry when he found out about it that he sentenced him to ten more days of corvee labor and ordered him to dig a canal in the spring.
For this purpose, Lu Chenyang specially issued another announcement, stating that anyone who dared to steal the cotton-padded clothes he distributed to the people for the winter would be severely punished and required to perform labor service.
The common people smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely help the adults to supervise them."
Lu Chenyang tirelessly told them: "Next year, next year we will be able to make money, and our lives will be better. Believe me."
The people didn't know how Lu Chenyang led them to make money, but they had witnessed Lu Chenyang's abilities.
With his own strength, he suppressed the Shen family. Even Dewey died in his hands. This ability alone was enough to make them take notice of him.
The people all nodded repeatedly: "We believe it, we all believe in you, sir."
They dare not disbelieve it!
Lu Chenyang didn't understand their hidden meaning. He just felt that he was an official served by the people, and he had a heavy responsibility to make them live a good life!
Lu Chenyang was extremely happy.
After a walk around, Lu Chenyang went to the garrison camp. Yan Xing was still training there. Even though the New Year was approaching, the soldiers did not stop training.
Lu Chenyang was deeply moved: "You've worked so hard, so hard. I'll give you extra meat for Chinese New Year this year!"
Yan Xing watched him win people's hearts with a smile, as if he was not the one who killed people before.
But the soldiers were happy.
Yan Xingdao said: "Don't think you can relax your vigilance during the New Year. Even if you relax, the enemy will not relax."
Lu Chenyang thought to himself, no, the Dongyi people will not send troops. However, he did not refute Yan Xing's words. After all, their enemies were not limited to the Dongyi people.
Yan Xing asked the soldiers to continue training. He went back to the tent to talk with Lu Chenyang. It was too cold outside. Lu Chenyang's nose was frozen red, which made him look a little cute.
As the two entered the tent, a soldier came to report: "Master, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He said he is from the Yan family in the capital."
Yan Xing's eyes flashed: "Let him in."
Is he from the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion?
Soon, a young servant of about eighteen or nineteen walked in. He was covered in dust and looked disheveled. The moment he saw Yan Xing, he burst into tears.
"My Lord, I finally get to see you!"
Lu Chenyang looked at him curiously.
The servant was so excited to see Yan Xing that tears and snot were streaming down his face, and he just stared at his prince with eager eyes.
Yan Xing was not moved at all. Instead, he felt disgusted and was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Wipe your tears before talking to me." Yan Xing said with a frown.
Lu Chenyang said, "Why don't you guys chat? I'll step aside for now."
Yan Xing said, "No, there's nothing you can't know."
Lu Chenyang's eyes flashed. Does this mean that Yan Xing trusts him?
Yan Xing said, "This is Tingshu, who has been with me since childhood. This is my Lord Lu, my..."
"He's his younger brother." Lu Chenyang said seriously.
Yan Xing nodded helplessly and agreed: "Thanks to his care along the way."
Tingshu immediately bowed to Lu Chenyang and said, "I greet you, Lord Lu."
Yan Xing said, "Alright, don't be so polite. You came from the capital, do you have any letters for me?"
Tingshu nodded, then quickly glanced at Lu Chenyang and whispered, "It was the Second Prince who asked me to bring the letter."
Yan Xing took the letter and read it immediately.
The second prince wrote in the letter that his current situation was not good. He had run around for the Duke of Zhenguo many times, but to no avail, and was repeatedly rebuked by the emperor.
The current situation is very unfavorable to them. He hopes that Yan Xing can protect himself in Lingnan and avoid the limelight temporarily.
Lu Chenyang really wanted to know what was written in the letter, but he didn't take a second look at it.
