Chapter 1716 Taking Back the Fief
As soon as this announcement came out, the first reaction of the people in Shenzhou was to cheat people again!

It’s not that the local government has not confiscated the militia to build the reservoir, and it has also agreed to pay three meals a day, and there is also settlement of wages. As a result, there are only two meals of clear porridge, and the porridge is so clear that it can be used as a mirror!
As for the salary, don't even think about it, half of the skin will be peeled off if you don't die, and it's the best to come back alive!
So whenever the government said something like conscription, the common people would avoid it.

"I'm going to sign up!" There was a man, this was the man who had brought his father to a doctor before, and he was the first to speak out.

"Gangzi, are you stupid?" A family member saw him and hurriedly said.

The man named Gangzi said: "I'm not stupid, I just believe in the current government, and the current government will not cheat us ordinary people!"

The soldier laughed, "Of course I won't cheat you, but these are all voluntary. Come if you want to come, and let go if you don't come. I won't force you."

He waved his hand and left after speaking.

The man named Gangzi chased after him to ask about the registration, and the soldier said that he could go to the government to register, register today, and go with them tomorrow.

It was also very fast. The soldiers set off to build the reservoir the next day. As for a piece of the past, there were quite a few men, dozens of them.

These are all willing to trust the government again, so they all followed.

For the first meal, they ate white flour steamed buns mixed with miscellaneous noodles, served with broth, and they didn’t care if they ate more or less.

After eating and drinking enough, of course I will work.

After a whole day, three meals a day are really included. Those who were tired and wanted to go back tried to settle their wages and left with ten cents.

Gangzi didn't leave immediately. He felt that if he could eat like this every day, he would be willing to help repair the reservoir even if he didn't pay for it!
Because every meal can be full, and there are eggs to eat, one egg a day, one meal of broth, and one meal of meat. There is not much meat. It looks like two slices per person, but that is also meat!

The food in his family is completely incomparable, and he is really willing to do it without giving money, as long as it can last forever, the fear is that it won't last long.

As a result, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the daily meals were almost the same!

Although he was a little tired from work, but because he had enough to eat, he slept in the tent until dawn at night, and Gangzi looked much stronger than before!
He knew that the village was waiting for news from him, so he didn't delay too much. He took a day off today and settled the wages for the past half month.

Half a month's salary is 150 Wen. When holding the money in his hand, Gangzi really couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

The food is good and the wages are paid. This is really different from before!
"My lord, can I go back for some food?" Gangzi asked the soldier.

"Yes." The soldier in charge nodded.

Gangzi exchanged brown rice for [-] Wen, and there was a big bag, because brown rice is the cheapest, so he went back directly with [-] Wen.

After returning to the village, people naturally gathered around him to inquire about the situation, and everyone in the village thought that he would never come back!
But looking at it today, it seems that the situation is different. Gangzi didn't come back with a skeleton, on the contrary, he looked very good?
And where did you bring this bag of brown rice?
Gangzi didn't talk too much nonsense, and he told the story of the past half a month before the family had time to go back, which made the villagers a little unbelievable.

It doesn't sound like you're going to work hard, but it sounds like you're enjoying it?
"Anyway, I've told you the truth. If you believe me, I'll report to you tomorrow and go with me. If you don't believe me, then I can't help it. Don't blame me for not coming back." Gangzi went home with the bag of brown rice after he finished speaking.

He planned to make more money before the busy farming season. This opportunity to make money is very rare, because normally, if you want to make money, you have to go to the county pier to carry goods. It costs about ten cents a day, but it is too tiring, and there is no food package.

Farmers will also use this spare time to earn this money to subsidize their family's food.

But Gangzi felt that this time he went to build the reservoir with a package of food. Not only could he leave rations for the family, but he could also earn money back.

After bringing the money and food back home, Gangzi set off again the next day. This time there were more than a dozen young people from the village who were willing to go with him.

"Let's go there quickly, I will be back to do farm work in about [-] days!" Gangzi said.

A young man said with a smile: "If the treatment there is really that good, I'll save money to marry a wife there, and I will do the farm work at home."

The others were a little envious of the young man, but there was nothing he could do about it, because there were so many people in the family, and if he really wanted to do farm work, he really didn't have to come back.

The word-of-mouth of the Shenzhou government has been reversed in this way, and the people of Shenzhou have once again survived tenaciously after experiencing the snow disaster.

Because in front of them, there are countless hopes waiting for them. Of course, they must be strong and go to welcome the thriving new life!

Murong Jin and Li Han went to patrol the construction progress of the reservoir. The cousins ​​also saw the current life attitude of the local people in Shenzhou, and knew that the matter would be over here, so they didn't stay in Shenzhou.

During the days when they left the capital, the capital also underwent considerable changes.

For example, the fiefs of the clan members of the Chu family in the previous dynasty, whether they belonged to the vassal king or the county king, all the fiefdoms should be taken back and controlled by the court, and no longer belong to the vassal king or the county king.

The commotion caused by this was of course great.

It also made the Chu family very dissatisfied, thinking that Ji Chengxuan had just started to kill the donkey!

Some people even asked the Queen Mother Rou who was recuperating in other places to come here.

The Empress Dowager Rou sneered, "What's the use of asking Ai's family? The Ai family is in such a state that they can't protect themselves!"

She didn't know the schemes of the empress dowager mother and her son until she was out of the palace, and the children in her stomach were calculated. She knew that the empress dowager mother was actually a poisonous snake hiding beside her all these years.

She knew earlier that she had murdered her son, so she came to take revenge on her, not only poisoning her son, forcing her to send him out of the palace for others to capture, but also murdering the child she conceived last year.
