Chapter 921: North and Love (4)
When we returned to the deserted temple, Da Xi had already cooked porridge. The fragrant rice porridge was bubbling and had a rich rice aroma.
"Wow! Today's porridge seems delicious!" Erxi stared at the big pot with longing in his eyes.
Today's porridge is sticky, not as thin as water as usual.
Daxi smiled and said, "Sister Fuer brought back new rice yesterday, enough for us to cook porridge for several days!"
All the children gathered around the big pot, each holding a bowl, happily waiting for the porridge to be put into the bowl.
After Daxi served porridge to everyone, everyone gathered around the small table and prepared to eat.
At this time, Qingliu took out the steamed buns he had bought that morning and said with a smile, "Look, what is this?"
"Steamed bun!!"
When Da Xi saw the steamed buns, he suddenly remembered something and ran into the house. When he came out, he also had two steamed buns in his hand.
"Sister Gong Fu also brought back a lot of steamed buns yesterday. It's perfect. Let's share half for everyone!"
Half each, this was something they had never dared to think about before.
Ever since Gong Fu arrived, their days had been like New Year's Eve. It had been ages since they'd gone hungry. Gong Fu's money wasn't much, and she'd already spent most of it. So, over the past few days, they'd started living frugally again.
Gong Fu hid outside, looking at the children who were so satisfied even with a piece of steamed bun and porridge, and her eyes were filled with tears.
As if she had made a decision in her heart, she turned around and walked towards the city center.
Governor's Mansion.
The new governor, Gong Si, was sent down by the emperor himself. It is said that he was from the new emperor's faction before, but the new emperor hid himself so well at that time that these people did not appear in the eyes of other princes.
Less than a month after the governor arrived, he had improved all the imperfect rules and laws of Beisha City. Today, the citizens of Beisha City live in harmony and major conflicts rarely occur.
At the same time, the new governor paid off all the debts of several surrounding cities within half a month of taking office.
Today, Beisha City is finally debt-free.
In addition to these, the governor Gong Si also encouraged farmers to farm and requested tax reductions from the court to give Beisha City time to recuperate.
He also suggested that the people, in addition to potatoes, plant some other grains and Beishacheng's specialty fruit trees, which could be distributed to other places to increase their economic income.
He was the one who introduced the distribution route.
In short, after the new governor took office, Beisha City is getting better and better.
This is also the most fundamental reason why Zhang Zhiyi obeys him.
The door to the Governor's Mansion opened wide, and several people walked out. One of them was wearing silver armor and looked very imposing, while the other was a well-mannered, elegant and polite middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man Zhang Zhiyi bowed and said, "In that case, I will leave this matter entirely to Lord Gong."
"You're welcome, General Zhang."
Zhang Zhiyi received a satisfactory answer and said goodbye.
After Gong Si sent Zhang Zhiyi off, he was about to return home. Suddenly, he seemed to see a familiar face.
But when I came to my senses and looked again, I couldn't find it.
"Strange, could it be that I saw it wrong?"
Gong Si asked in confusion, and the clerk beside him heard what he said and asked, "Sir, what did you say?"
"Nothing." Gong Si remembered the purpose of Zhang Zhiyi's visit and ordered, "You will handle what General Zhang said."
The clerk nodded immediately, "Yes, I will do my best!"
“Don’t try your best, but do your best!”
Gong Si knew very well that Zhang Zhiyi was just a general of the defense army on the surface, but in fact, the person behind him was Prince Li!
Even the new emperor is wary of this prince. No one can underestimate him, nor can anyone neglect his people.
The clerk understood what he meant, his face solemn, and he replied solemnly, "Yes, I will remember that."
Gong Si turned back to the house, but his eyes couldn't help but look outside again. He just searched around, but found nothing.
Gong Fu secretly peeked out from a small stall on the street outside the Governor's Mansion.
In the end, she still didn't have the courage to look for him.
"Forget it, I can do it without him! At worst, I can sell paintings or calligraphy!"
She just doesn't believe that she can't make money with her own hands!
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, she immediately headed towards the bookstore.
The young man still has some money left from yesterday, so it should be enough to buy two pieces of paper and a set of four treasures of the study.
After Zhang Zhiyi came back, he immediately told Beiji that Gong Si had agreed to run a shelter.
Beiji was training his troops in the defense camp. He felt a little comforted when he heard the news.
At least the child's problem can be solved.
"General, do you want to go take a look at the palace?"
After all, this is where they lived, and it will become a shelter later. I wonder if he will feel regretful.
"No need, just find some people to clean it up, and then you can just take care of the arrangements."
Since he has decided to forget some people and some things, he should stop actively looking for those memories. Otherwise, it will only make it harder to forget.
Zhang Zhiyi nodded and asked, "Then, General, do you plan to pick up those children yourself, or will I have the soldiers below do it?"
"You guys go find someone to go, it's better to go now."
I wonder if those men in black from last night will come looking for them again.
Zhang Zhiyi immediately went to make arrangements, and Beiji also prepared to go back and rest.
He wants to grow some vegetables in the yard.
She used to like making these things, and she even said that if she had time, she would plant fruit trees all over the palace! In the fall, she could pick the fruits and eat them herself!
She seems to like picking the fruits herself.
As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth rose again.
"A ten-year-old white pear tree, only thirty cents! Don't miss it if you're passing by!!"
A hawking voice reached Beiji's ears, and his consciousness was instantly attracted by the two words "white pear".
She seemed to have said that white pears are delicious.
Buy two and plant them at home!
The boss said that it was an old tree and it would survive if it was moved back and would bloom and bear fruit next year!
Shanwai Valley is so close to Beisha City, so when the fruits are ripe, she will let Yier take her to pick them.
If the prince and princess have any grudges against each other, he will just stay away.
He spent money to have two white pear trees transplanted, and then he bought some vegetable seeds and scattered them in the small vegetable garden.
Watering, fertilizing...
It's quite relaxing and comfortable.
"Selling paintings! Selling paintings! Gorgeous flowers in full bloom, orchids in the valley! Only one ounce of silver per painting, a steal! Selling paintings!"
There was a hawking voice coming from outside, the tone was a little loud, and the voice sounded familiar.
But he did not open the door, but took good care of his vegetable garden.
Outside, Gong Fu prepared the things and started setting up the stall.
Although the location here is not good, there are many officials and scholars living in this South Street. Only such people can recognize the talent and appreciate her painting skills.
"This flower is well painted, but it lacks some charm."
