Chapter 247: Work-for-relief has too big an impact
Xiao Yingchun rustled under the quilt and took off her underwear, leaving only the bottoming pullover. Xiao Yingchun was embarrassed to throw her underwear out of the quilt, so she had to kick it to the soles of her feet...
Fu Chenan didn't seem to notice Xiao Yingchun's little movements. When he saw that she didn't move, he knew that she was fine.
"Go to sleep."
Xiao Yingchun said pitifully: "I can't sleep."
Who could fall asleep while tied up like this? !
Fu Chenan: "No! You've been tired all night and are already very sleepy. You can fall asleep!"
After saying that, Fu Chenan took the initiative to close his eyes, and soon he took a deep breath and fell asleep.
Xiao Yingchun: "..."
After a while, sleepiness came over, and Xiao Yingchun finally fell asleep.
Fu Chenan, who was still breathing heavily just now, quietly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yingchun carefully for a while, then let go of her, leaned over and kissed her cheek gently.
The sweet-smelling and soft little lady is right next to him, within reach, so good.
Fu Chenan gently took a quilt and went to bed. First, he covered himself with it, and then he carefully put his hand into the quilt next door, held Xiao Yingchun's hand, and fell asleep peacefully.
Xiao Yingchun woke up from the heat.
Even if the quilt is thick, why does it look like there is a stove next to me?
She subconsciously wanted to push away, but when she started to push, she realized that she was pushing against Fu Chenan's solid chest.
Xiao Yingchun woke up instantly:! ! !
Fu Chenan, who was wearing a T-shirt, woke up the moment he was pushed. He looked at Xiao Yingchun with burning eyes, feeling her little movements, ready to move.
Xiao Yingchun froze in fear, his eyes as wide as bells.
Their eyes met, ambiguity and embarrassment spread at the same time.
After a moment of stalemate, Xiao Yingchun gave up. She coughed guiltily: "Why did you get into my bed?"
Obviously before he fell asleep last night, Fu Chenan was still hugging him with the quilt.
Could it be that he was not sleeping well and dragged him in?
Fu Chenan also felt guilty: "I don't know, I obviously took another quilt..."
I was obviously covered with another quilt, how could I get into Yingying's quilt...
It must be that after falling asleep, I was not sleeping well, so I subconsciously got over it!
Although both of them were wearing clothes, it was so hot under the covers...
Fu Chenan had sweat on his forehead and his body was tense, but he didn't dare to move for fear of exposing his secret.
Xiao Yingchun didn't dare to move on the surface, and quietly moved back with one foot, getting out of the bed, and then with one hand.
But in the same bed, no matter how careful her movements were, Fu Chenan still noticed her.
Realizing that she was escaping secretly, Fu Chenan couldn't laugh or cry.
After thinking about it, Fu Chenan quickly stepped forward, grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her.
Before Xiao Yingchun could react, Fu Chenan got out of the bed and quickly covered him with the quilt, fearing that if the cold wind got in, Yingying would catch a cold.
Xiao Yingchun's sneaky escape movement paused, and his cheeks inevitably turned red and warm.
Fu Chenan turned around and ran to the bathroom. After a while, Xiao Yingchun heard the sound of water: he was taking a shower.
It was obviously very clean last night, so why wash it again?
As soon as doubts arose, Xiao Yingchun realized: He has reacted...
When Fu Chenan came out of the bathroom neatly, Xiao Yingchun was already standing neatly by the window waiting.
The two people looked at each other and smiled with a slight blush.
Fu Chenan looked at the sky: "I'm going to get the food, why don't you wait a moment?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded obediently: "Okay..."
The two of them ate today's imperial chef's home-cooked meal in the living room, and then went to the hotel room in the United States. It was almost dark here.
Wang Yongjun has contacted the food again and is waiting for Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun.
The two of them didn't talk nonsense and followed Wang Yongjun.
Another busy night. At dawn, Wang Yongjun sent the two people back to the hotel.
With yesterday's lesson, Xiao Yingchun no longer dared to be arrogant and slept by herself, leaving Fu Chenan to go to Tianwu Kingdom to deal with the food problem.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry was very busy.
Because the food is coming!
Looking for iron ore is no longer the most important thing for him at the moment.
He wanted to use work as relief during the next two months of farming, distribute the food, and at the same time let the people repair canals and reservoirs.
The prince asked his personal guards to supervise the distribution of food and work-for-relief situations in each place.
If you dare to enrich your own pockets and fail to execute the plan well, you will become the second You Huaizhong, and your property will be confiscated, and your whole family will be forced to farm the land.
The Minister of Industry did not want to have his house confiscated and be exiled, so he worked hard as much as he could.
The personal guards were inspired by Emperor Tianwu's previous gift of food to the villagers, and this time they took the opportunity to spread the word that Emperor Tianwu and His Highness the Crown Prince wanted the people to have food to survive the winter, so they specially obtained a large amount of food from the West.
The common people only need to follow the court's requirements and complete the work obediently, and then they can receive food...
After the day's work was done, everyone was filled with anxiety and anticipation, and lined up to receive food.
When it was his turn, he opened his pockets and found that those who completed the task actually received a liter of corn (about a pound and a half).
If one liter of corn is ground into powder and mixed with wild vegetables to make a paste, it will be enough for the whole family to eat for a day!
Who doesn't want this?
Taxes were once so high that it was so exhausting that death was precarious.
Now, as long as we work hard, the family can spend this winter safely...
The people plucked their fingers: a little adds up to a big thing, and anyone who can make it for a month will receive enough food to keep their family members from starving to death this winter.
Let me ask again, adult men and women in the family can come to work. As long as they work hard and complete the task, they will get the same share of food!
If the whole family can go out and work hard for two months, they can probably accumulate enough food to survive the autumn harvest...
For a time, people's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high!
Isn't it just work?
They grind bones all year round to feed their intestines, and they often starve to the point where their eyes turn green. Where is it not grinding?
Dig out the soil and gravel accumulated in the ditch, strengthen the sides of the ditch, and trim it all the way down...
While other places were providing relief through work, the fiefdoms of King Nanming and King Donghu did not have this policy, and not a single grain of food entered their fiefdoms.
When the people living in Erwang's fief heard the news, some of them went directly to places where there was a work-for-relief program with all their money.
I don’t know if the local officials did it on purpose or if they didn’t screen anyone. They didn’t refuse anyone who came, regardless of whether they could work seriously or not.
After the people in the Erwang fiefdom actually got the food, they became very excited and sent people home to send messages so that more people could do the work.
When the news spread back, more people from the Erwang fief began to run out...
When King Donghu and King Nanming got the news, they both got headaches.
If all the people in the fiefdom run away, there is no one to cultivate the land, and no one to feed the army, what use is this huge fiefdom? !
"Brother Ming, what should we do?" King Donghu looked at his brother in confusion.
King Nanming also had a headache and thought for a while: "Let's do this..."
Soon, people began to tell stories in teahouses and restaurants all over the country, saying that a general rebelled and conquered the world. At first, he deceived the people, gave them food and clothes.
When the people supported them and gained a firm foothold, they began to exploit the people, and their taxes were even worse than those of the previous dynasty.
Countless people couldn't survive, so they finally rose up, finally supported Mingjun, and ushered in a better life again...
