Chapter 815 Young General vs. Rich Lady 118
Guangling City is larger than Pingyang City, with more land suitable for farming. The drought situation is slightly better, and there is still some water in the rivers in some places.
After the artificial rainfall, the people received free seeds or seedlings, but the types of crops that could be planted were fewer, mainly some winter wheat, peas, cabbage and radishes.
The county magistrate of Guangling City was a smart man. Since Lu Yongxin stayed indoors, he knew that he should please Huo Xiao, so he had already come with the land registration list from the county government. He was very aware of the current situation.
Huo Xiao didn't say that he had to use his own people. He didn't have enough people under his command, so he simply continued to use the county magistrate to take care of trivial matters in the city.
The land was remeasured, and the land occupied by the rich and powerful was returned. Many people also regained their freedom, and there were more people available.
The wealthy families took advantage of the drought and food shortage in the city and originally planned to wait for the common people to become desperate and voluntarily bring their land to beg them for shelter. They would gain a good reputation as well as land and people. But now that General Huo is distributing food for free, their plans have failed.
This time they lost a lot of land, so they ran to the county government office to find the county magistrate to appeal for justice, hoping that the county magistrate would come forward to make the decision for them.
The county magistrate looked at these idiots and cursed, "If you are not afraid of death, go ahead and make a scene. When the time comes, you won't be able to save your life, not to mention the land! General Huo really didn't kill anyone in Guangling City, so you really think he is a living Buddha? Killing you guys is just a piece of cake. Your servants and guards are not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of the Huo family army!"
"General Huo doesn't want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. He wants Guangling City to recuperate and even provides food for the people. But you guys are trying to force good people into slavery. General Huo just thinks he doesn't have enough people, and you guys are trying to steal them from him!"
After some persuasion, some smart people understood and immediately expressed their views, "Of course we dare not go against General Huo, but we don't know what General Huo likes, so we should cater to his preferences."
The county magistrate stroked his beard and said cheerfully, "This is easy. There is a goddess temple being built in the city. If you have any good things, just bring them out. You can't enter the general's mansion, but the door to the goddess temple is open."
The temple of the goddess was built quickly, with a golden statue and extremely luxurious features. Building one temple for the goddess was not enough, so they also made a small statue and invited the goddess to the new temple, and built four or five in a row.
Guangling City is larger than Pingyang City and has a larger population. How can one statue be enough for the people to worship?
Huo Xiao didn't say anything after hearing this. Let them be. As long as they didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't touch them. Sometimes the people in a village might trust the local gentry more, so it was a good thing to have their support.
There have always been people distributing porridge in front of the Goddess Temple. As usual, you have to register to receive the porridge and do labor to pay it back later.
Girls under the age of fourteen can receive food every month. Textile factories and garment factories also recruit female workers. The construction of water conservancy projects, strengthening of city walls, and digging of coal mines in the city all require labor. By working, they can have food to eat. If they do things other than labor, they can also receive food and wages.
In short, as long as you are not a lazy person, you will not starve to death in Guangling City.
Pingyang City also added a lot of population. Anyway, the two cities were not far from each other and they shared the same land, so there were still people willing to live in Pingyang City.
The two cities were thriving, and the daily food consumption was an astronomical figure. Ji Yunhuan looked at the bustling streets and saw the people with smiles on their faces. He was happy, but also under great pressure.
She had to buy food again. If she didn't find a few more channels to buy food, it would not be enough to supply the people in the two cities.
After this period of time, the fields will have yields and less grain will need to be transported. Then, when we sow again in the spring of next year and harvest in autumn, there should be no need to transport additional grain.
Ji Yunhuan went to Xiaohe Village again.
She got out of the business car, and several handsome men and beautiful women got out of the nanny car behind her. They were all stars and internet celebrities under Yunxi Entertainment.
Lu Yichen came running over with a laptop. She had been here yesterday and had been busy dealing with business here.
Ji Yunhuan wiped the sweat off her face. Being young is good. Her face is full of collagen, she has a neat ponytail, and her lips are rosy and her teeth are white even without makeup.
"Our little deer is really cute. You can join the live broadcast later. The audience likes you very much. You always sell well."
"I really want to sign you to an entertainment company, but I can't bear to let go of such a good assistant, so I can only let you do two jobs."
Yunxi Entertainment Company is Ji Yunhuan’s own business and has nothing to do with Kangyue Group. To put it bluntly, Lu Yichen is an employee of Kangyue Group, and coming here to help Yunxi Entertainment with live broadcasts is an extra job.
However, Ji Yunhuan gave her a generous bonus, and she also wanted to learn and work more from the chairman while she was still young, so she accepted all offers and was willing to do anything.
Ye Mei came over and pouted in dissatisfaction, "What? When you signed me, you praised me like a goddess, but now you're eyeing another woman? The entertainment company is almost full!"
Ji Yunhuan stretched out his hand to push Ye Mei away, shaking off the goose bumps all over his body, "Talk properly! You are almost thirty years old, and you have always been a bright and generous person. Why are you acting like a spoiled child? Aren't you disgusting!"
Ye Mei smiled and was even more eager to get closer to tease the boss by changing her voice.
"I'm only two years older than you, and you despise my age? Oh my, the love is gone before the beauty is old..."
This sentence was said in so many twists and turns that if Ji Yunhuan were a man, his bones would definitely be broken.
Ye Mei was an internet celebrity before and had some musical talent. After signing with Yunxi Entertainment, her resources improved a lot. She sang and released albums, acted, made guest appearances in movies, and participated in variety shows. She is quite well-known.
Ji Yunhuan signs people based on his liking for them, and of course good-looking people are a must. He started this company just for fun, and only signs people he likes, so he is friends with everyone in the company and has a good relationship with them.
Liu Heyang also came over, and attentively held an umbrella for the boss to block the sun, smiling with a mouthful of white teeth, "I came here on business, as long as the boss says so, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire without hesitation!"
Liu Heyang is the most famous male star in the company. He is young and handsome. He has gradually gained popularity by starring in several ancient costume dramas. He also plays important roles in guest appearances in movies. He has many fans and has the greatest commercial value.
Ye Mei taunted, "You've learned idioms quite well. Haters say you're uneducated, but you're actually quite studious."
Liu Heyang was not angry either, and seized the opportunity to express his loyalty to his boss, "Boss, you taught me well. I will never bring shame to our company in the future!"
Ji Yunhuan got a headache whenever she saw Liu Heyang. This guy never made big mistakes, but had a lot of minor flaws. But she invited him here because she wanted to attract attention today.
"I'll be thankful if you don't cause me any trouble! The live broadcast is about to start, hurry over and follow the script, don't improvise, don't pretend if you're uneducated, be honest, your fans will praise you for being straightforward and cute."
"You are just relying on your youth and good looks, and the bonus of the role you got, your fans have a filter that is ten meters thick for you! In a few years, if you don't make any progress and fail to transform yourself, you will be forgotten!"
