Chapter 265: Love of the People
Gan Fanren was startled, and the guards around him immediately stepped in front of him.
A commoner took out a big cake he made and handed it to Gan Fanren.
"Your Majesty, I heard from Lord Qiu that you worked day and night for us, and you didn't have enough food and clothes all day, just to stop us from freezing."
"We are really flattered to hear that Your Majesty can do this for us, and we have no way to repay you. We can only send you some food we made ourselves, and hope Your Majesty will accept it." In
his previous life as an official, Gan Fanren also received a lot of gifts, but those gifts were all given by rich people.
But this time, it was given by ordinary people.
It was not something expensive, most of them were just some homemade gadgets and snacks.
Although the appearance was not good, Gan Fanren felt that this gift was particularly suitable.
Looking at the smiling faces, his expression became gentler.
"Since I have conquered Qingtai Pass, you are my people."
"The superior should seek the welfare of the people. These are what Gan should do."
Gan Fanren lowered his eyes to look at the people's frozen and cracked hands, frostbite, and ears that had already festered. He felt that these inconspicuous foods in front of him were particularly precious.
"These things are grown by you with hard work for a whole year. I can't just accept them. I appreciate your kindness. The weather is so cold, don't let them freeze."
Gan Tian looked at the smiling faces and felt a little sad.
She quietly rummaged around in the supermarket and finally saw the existence of the cryo-ointment in an inconspicuous corner.
With the cryo-ointment, the people's cryo-ointment should be better.
She thought about it and silently redeemed the cryo-ointment.
But there were so many people around that she didn't take it out directly from the warehouse, but waited until Gan Fanren returned to the room before redeeming the cryo-ointment.
Seeing the cryo-ointment that suddenly appeared, Gan Fanren was not surprised.
He carefully read the instructions for use, tore off the packaging on it to avoid revealing the existence of the system, and then sent people to distribute it door to door.
The people looked at the cryo-ointment distributed and felt more grateful for Gan Fanren's kindness.
Although kangs and ground dragons have not been officially popularized, everyone seems to have seen hope.
During this period, Gongsun Wu and his team also developed fire walls based on kangs.
When the people sent by the towns and villages had learned it, Gan Fanren summoned craftsmen and asked them to refine and make bricks and tiles for kangs, fire walls and ground dragons. In a dilapidated
village in Qingtaiguan.
The whole village gathered together and looked at the so-called kang. Li
Zheng led people to build it carefully according to the drawings.
When the kang was built and the firewood was lit, it took only one incense stick of time for the kang to heat up.
Once the kang was heated, the temperature in the room was much higher.
The fire wall soon became hot. Feeling the hot temperature, the people of Qingtaiguan couldn't help but stare with wide eyes in amazement.
"My goodness, this thing is too good."
"It's so hot with just a little firewood."
"Yes, yes, this thing doesn't need to be burned specially. You can also put a pot on it to cook. When the meal is ready, the kang is also heated, and the room will be warm."
The people looked at the kang and the fire wall, and they were curious and happy.
Just when everyone was happy, several families couldn't help crying.
"Last winter, my father died because he couldn't stand the cold."
"If Your Majesty had come earlier, my father wouldn't have died."
Many people looked at the kang in silence.
"Fortunately, we have His Majesty."
"His Majesty is finally here."
Yes, with these things, we no longer have to worry about being frozen to death.
No one will be frozen to death because of the cold.
No matter how cold the weather is, as long as there is firewood in the house, we can live in a warm room and sleep on a warm kang.
Everyone has a new hope for life.
"No matter whether this Majesty can succeed or not, I will follow him. I have decided that I will follow His Majesty and join the army."
A man stood up, and then more people stood up. More and more people wanted to join Gan Fanren's team.
More and more people followed voluntarily.
After conquering Qingtai, mining became an extremely easy task.
The local people in Qingtaiguan helped to mine together.
Although it is still winter, Gan Fanren treats them well, and everyone has hot soup to drink.
Everyone has endless energy.
Although the mining speed is slow, it has solved the urgent problem.
Large quantities of weapons and armor have been produced.
The soldiers were very happy to put on new armor and new weapons.
Seeing that everyone has changed into new armor, Gan Fanren stood on a high place holding Gan Tian, his heart surging.
Gan Tian's eyes reflected this scene, and she finally understood why so many people would go crazy for power.
This feeling is really great.
It is an indescribable feeling.
She lowered her eyes and looked at these people looking respectfully at her...
father behind her.
Her heart was very excited.
[From then on, our destiny has completely changed. 】
【Whether it is the male protagonist or anyone else, they can't kill our family so easily. 】
When he returned to Tongmen Pass again, there were no longer only a few people, and there were more guards around him.
There was only one Pingji Pass left in the south, and it was all conquered.
But Gan Fanren didn't want to expand so quickly.
First, the expansion was too fast, which could easily lead to hidden dangers.
Second, the financial situation was really tight.
Pingji Pass was originally half desert and half grassland.
Their climate was similar to that of Qingtai Pass. Seeing the people of Qingtai Pass living and working in peace and contentment, they would naturally be envious.
It would be much easier to take over Pingji Pass by then.
Gan Fanren decided to find a way to make some money to revitalize the people's economy.
After returning to Tongmen Pass, Gan Fanren moved out of Gongsun Yue's house as soon as possible.
Although Gongsun Yue's house was big and good, they were guests after all, and it would be bad to disturb them all the time.
The new house was the one they got from the house they confiscated.
The house was very large, and all the items were available.
They only needed to clean it up a little before they could move in.
This house is much bigger than the one they lived in the capital. Gan Tian fell in love with the yard full of apricot trees at first sight.
[Apricot trees...]
[They are very beautiful when they bloom.]
Hearing his daughter's thoughts, Gan Fanren smiled.
Although his daughter looks very young, she already knows how to appreciate apricot flowers.
Over the past year, his daughter has grown up a lot.
She is no longer the little girl who only knows how to eat.
[Ah~ Apricot trees are really good trees. The flowers can be used to make food, and the apricots can be pickled into dried apricots. They must be delicious.]
Gan Fanren looked at the little guy sitting in his arms, and suddenly felt that the little guy was not bad like this.
After seeing the power of power, he was still able to return to his original heart, not contaminated by desire, and was innocent and cute.
Hui Niang couldn't help laughing out loud: "Tian'er's saliva is about to flow down, so cute."
Gan Tian hurriedly wiped her pink little mouth, and her hands were clean without saliva at all.
