Chapter 445 Food Arrives
Zhao Mingyuan was also very satisfied with County Magistrate Yao's approach. County Magistrate Yao was an upright yet tactful person, always considering the people first. The Liuguan Town County Government was considered a clean government.
It is said that his wife often goes back to her parents' home to beg for money to support the family, which is really sad.
It is said that after suppressing the bandits, he would have collected all the property and handed it over to the army, and County Magistrate Yao did not dare to say anything.
But he was always thinking about the people, working diligently and conscientiously, and Zhao Mingyuan was also willing to give some of his money to improve the county government.
Zhao Mingyuan had already allocated some of the property obtained from the previous bandit suppression to the county government, and would allocate more to the county government after Ma Dahong's matter was settled.
County Magistrate Yao was smart enough not to ask Zhao Mingyuan what he was going to do with these prisoners. In short, it was great as long as he could solve the dilemma of his county government.
He is not greedy.
If some of the money used to suppress the bandits was allocated to the county government, he could also compensate the yamen runners for their monthly wages and do some additional repairs to places like the city walls.
It would be better for my wife to ask for money less from her parents' home, so that her sisters-in-law and younger brothers and sisters wouldn't give her a hard time, which would make me feel distressed and guilty.
Zhao Mingyuan asked his men to interrogate Ma Dahong, Men and others. As for the child, he was raised in the backyard of the county government office and watched over by someone. A decision would be made after Ma Dahong, Men and Li Jin were convicted.
Ma Dahong gritted his teeth and refused to tell the route up the mountain. Even when the child was involved, he still refused to give in.
He was very smart and knew that the Zhao family army led by Zhao Mingyuan was different from other armies and would not really do anything to the child.
They are dedicated to the people, loyal, brave and kind. Even though Ma Dahong has a natural hostility towards the court, he has to admit that the Zhao family army is indeed a conscientious team.
Therefore, he refused to give in and believed that the Zhao family army would not harm his children.
But it doesn’t matter. Just when Zhao Mingyuan frowned, Liu Feng and Zhang Liang arrived with people and food.
Zhao Mingyuan hurried to check the food.
Seeing more than a dozen carts of food, Zhao Mingyuan felt greatly comforted and was even more concerned about Xiao Wan.
Chen Xin and others also hurried forward to salute, and Zhao Mingyuan helped them up.
Although the young men in Kaoshan Village had long known that Zhao Mingyuan was not an ordinary villager in their village, they were still shocked when they saw Zhao Mingyuan wearing armor, with starry eyebrows and sword-like eyes, and looking heroic.
It turns out that the hunter Zhao Wu in the village is actually the famous war god general of the Yuan Dynasty, and his son Zhao Mingyuan is actually the fourth rank General Yunhui!
It would be so impressive if people could tell others that the Yuan Dynasty's God of War had lived in the same village with these villagers for such a long time.
They felt both awe and a sense of closeness in their hearts. After all, they were from the same village, so they were much closer.
Fortunately, although Zhao Mingyuan's family rarely interacted with the villagers, they basically knew everyone. Zhao Mingyuan was very humble and was very close and kind to Chen Xin and the others.
When the young people saw their acquaintances, they no longer felt restrained and quickly relaxed.
Zhao Mingyuan directed the storage of grain, and then looked at the two vehicles escorted by Chen Xin and others.
Inside was the "food" that Xiao Wan brought to Zhao Mingyuan, potato seedlings.
Chen Xin took out the letter that Xiao Wan brought to Zhao Mingyuan from his arms, and Zhao Mingyuan took it and unfolded it.
Xiao Wan didn't say anything else to him, but only explained to him in detail the planting method and yield of potatoes. Chen Xin and several young men from Kaoshan Village stayed to help the border army plant potatoes.
Zhao Mingyuan was very excited when he saw the very encouraging potato yield mentioned by Xiao Wan.
He had seen potatoes before in Kaoshan Village and knew that potato production was very high, but he also knew that potatoes were a new food and Wan'er had not yet planted them on a large scale, so he did not know the specific production volume.
Later, I heard Wan'er say that large-scale planting had begun. I didn't expect that potatoes could be grown in an environment like the border.
The seedlings sent by Wan'er really helped him a lot. He had no doubt whether potatoes could be grown at the border. He believed in Xiao Wan.
Of course, Xiao Wan had her own reasons for sending this cart of seedlings, as most of the seedlings were unearthed from her own space.
The adaptability and growth ability of plants irrigated with spiritual spring water are undoubtedly unquestionable.
Even though the climate at the border is bitterly cold, it does not hinder the growth of seedlings.
The soldiers under Zhao Mingyuan were also ecstatic. The legendary Huide County Lady actually raised food and sent it to them. They also discovered crops like potatoes, which they heard could be grown at the border and had extremely high yields.
If the planting is successful, they won’t have to worry about starving.
Princess Huide is truly kind and righteous. Although she is a woman, she cares about the generals at the border. How can they not be moved?
