The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia, reached out and shook his hand and said seriously: "Xiao Xi, if you are tired of living like this, we will resign and go back. If you are doing things for the army because of me these two times, let me You have this idea because you are worried about my safety, so there is no need, because no matter what time, I know that I have you and Yang'er waiting for me at home, and I will not let myself fall into a desperate situation."

After hearing this, Zhou Jia was silent for a while, then looked up at Li Yu, "You have to promise me that your safety is the most important thing at all times."

"I promise you, but I have a different opinion on your speculation about Qi Jun."

"Oh! Come and listen." Zhou Jia sat upright and looked at Li Yu.

"Think about it, you said it takes more than two months to travel from Yunzhou to Daqi. Even if Daqi's supplies leave Daqi immediately, it would be too late. What will the Qi army eat in these two months? Is it possible that an army of hundreds of thousands of people will just sit around and wait to starve? Are you going to die? You estimate that there are still two days of food rations in the Qi camp. Even if there are not enough arrows, there should be other weapons. If Yang Huaiyi fights against the odds and tells the soldiers about the destruction of food and grass, he can persuade them to just break into the city. There will be food to eat, and you won’t starve to death on the way back to Daqi. If you win, you will get military honors and a wife and a cute son. If so, Yunzhou may have to face a fierce battle."

"Yes! How could I have forgotten that when people are under the oppression of ridicule and coldness, in order to survive, they will annihilate their humanity and turn into evil spirits? No wonder Ouyang Xiong said that we need to strengthen our defenses. There are specialties in skills, and there are distinctions between civil and military. I was too optimistic. I’ll go back to the Yamen right now to ask them to be on guard. I have to go to Xicheng when I get back. I’ll come back later to pick you up and take you to Xicheng for a visit, will you go?”

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home." Li Yu responded with a smile, watching him and Ji Xiang stride away, then turned back to look at the clothes Li Mei had made for herself and Zhou Jia, as well as Yangyang's little coat. Cotton trousers and cotton slippers, I read Li Mei's letter again. From the letter, I felt Li Mei's inner journey when facing Laidi, from anger to sadness and disappointment to being powerless to letting things go. Now Laidi has also married as she wished. To Li Fengqi, I wonder if the marriage that Laidi got after going her own way and even breaking her parents' hearts is really as beautiful as she imagined?

When Zhou Jia arrived at the east city wall, he saw that civilians were carrying arrows, broken stones, and some bamboo poles to the top of the city. When he climbed to the top of the city, he saw that the soldiers were busy in an orderly manner. There was still no movement in Qi Camp in the distance. Zhou Jia was relieved and went home to pick up Li Yu and went to Xicheng.

The carriage reached the entrance of the alley. When Li Yu got off the car, he found that the smelly puddles were gone. The alley was paved with bluestone pavement. Residents on both sides of the alley also opened their doors, and some even set up stalls at the door. They came to sell snacks, and when they saw Zhou Jia's carriage passing by, they all stood up and saluted the carriage.

It can be seen from their actions and expressions that they respect Zhou Jia very much. Seeing this, Li Yu also felt proud of Zhou Jia. He smiled and said to Zhou Jia: "Mr. Zhou is not bad!"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with bright eyes and said, "Go in and have a look again. Are you satisfied or not?"

"Yeah! I'll take a good look when we get in." Li Yu responded solemnly.

Walking into the Xicheng shack, the original smelly and dirty shack disappeared. What appeared in front of us were rows of small houses, uniform blue brick houses, the door was clean and tidy, and there were two people in the corner. There was a water well, and a water tank was built next to the well with bluestone slabs placed. People who came out of the house to check after hearing the noise quickly saluted when they saw the carriage. Liu Yi, who was patrolling in this area, saw Zhou Jia's carriage coming and also came forward to salute.

Zhou Jia pointed to the small courtyards, "There are seven main rooms and wing rooms in a house, and one partition is divided into two small kitchens. The rooms are not as big as ours, but they are still spacious and bright. Also, each row of houses Toilets were built at the beginning of each house. Just like you did in the village at the foot of Luoji Mountain, one room for men and one for women was separated into small rooms with water tanks placed, and each household in the row of houses took turns cleaning. "

Li Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, how many families live in this courtyard?"

Zhou Jia pointed at Liu Yi and said, "Old Liu, tell me."

"Back to Madam, this area now houses the original families, as well as refugees from Linshan County and people from nearby towns who came to the city after Jianbi cleared the country. There are three families living in one yard, and the others have moved into the abandoned buildings in the city. The houses, the shops of the Wei family, the inns, and the houses are all full of people. You see, no one lives under the roof in our city, and everything is clean."

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, "The only bad thing is the people coming from Linshan. Some families have almost finished the food they brought out in a hurry, and they don't have money to buy rice. I heard that some families only have one meal a day." Brown rice porridge, even if it is said to be porridge, you can even see the shadow of a person."

"That's it!" Li Yu thought of the grains in the cellar and space, and said to Liu Yi: "Go and count, how many households have a total population that can't open the pot? After counting, take it to Mr. Qian. I will go back and discuss a solution with your master and give you the news as soon as possible."

"Liu Yi would like to thank the ladies on behalf of the common people, and also thank the adults and ladies on behalf of the Han people. They asked him to teach the children during the war. Without the money, life would be difficult for them." Liu Yi saluted gratefully.

Li Yu waved his hand, "You don't have to be polite. I'll ask Mr. Qian to tell you the news after we've discussed it."

Liu Yi's excited statistics left the person who couldn't get the blame.

The two walked around inside, and when they saw that it was orderly, they turned around and walked back. After getting on the carriage, Zhou Jia said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, now the food must be given to the soldiers first. I'm afraid there won't be enough food for the whole winter." So much food is provided to those people."

"You have forgotten that we just harvested so much grain, and what Uncle Gu Yu returned to us can feed some people, but it is not enough." Li Yu sat next to Zhou Jia and looked at Zhou Jia with a sly smile, "You have forgotten There are also the big families like the Wang family and the Tian family who have escaped! Who knows where the food has gone in the chaos of war."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and smiled fondly, "You! It all depends on you. The Tian family has been taken over by Chu Sihai. In my opinion, we should first use the Wang family's food and use the name of the government to provide food to those who can't afford it." The people are given food."

"Okay, let's use the Wang family's first. Do you know where their cellar is?" Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia.

"The cellar is a trivial matter. It's just a matter of letting Ruyi explore those places tonight. My main consideration is that we can't let the people just take away the food. This will create a kind of inertia. I I want them to help clean the streets. After the Qi army retreats, they will have to repair the city walls and rebuild the houses that were cleared by the strong walls." Zhou Jia clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Yes, let them do the work, and we will work according to their instructions. Distribute food according to quantity.”

Li Yu thought to himself, isn't this the work-for-relief method of later generations?

"This is a good idea. I'll do as you say. Let Ruyi go check it out tonight and get the food out quietly."

"Okay!" Zhou Jia sighed, "I wonder if tonight will be spent safely?"

After hearing what Zhou Jia said, Li Yu also wanted to see how the soldiers of this era fought. He looked at Zhou Jia and whispered: "Xiao Xi, I want to go to the top of the city to see if Yang Huaiyi will jump over the wall tonight."
