The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

I heard that the emperor not only rewarded many things, but also asked officials to donate.

Shen Dongsu thought of the emperor's journey and watched her going north as if watching a live broadcast.

I smiled in my heart, this is the top reward on the list!

Although it’s late, it’s better than never!

As for what the prince thought, because of that poor letter, Prince Ling had offended the entire court!

Dong Su had never thought that the border officers were jealous of cloth and old rice. It was because the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household did not act!

As for Ling Mo Xiao, he had expected this, but he didn't care at all!

Those silverfish, am I still afraid of offending them?

Ling Mo Xiao knew very well that these people would not be used by him until he was unable to do so.

But after he has the ability, the first thing he needs to do is to eradicate these people! Give Daxia a bright future!

So he doesn't care who he offends at all! What's more, this letter had an unexpected effect, gaining the emperor's trust and giving him a legitimate reason to pursue the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

There were also donations from the common people, which was completely beyond Ling Moxiao and Mr. Pang's expectations.

In the past, when this kind of thing happened, the people would only scold the coach for being corrupt and incompetent, and would only mock the court for being useless. Unexpectedly, this time the people spontaneously donated food and salt to the Youzhou Army.

It turns out that people's hearts and minds are something that sometimes you can't get even with all your efforts, but sometimes you don't say anything and as long as the people see what you do, it will come naturally.

Ling Moxiao lamented once again that until now, people in the world thought that he married Dong Su, a village girl, because Dong Su was too high-ranking and because of his temporary obsession.

After all, for thousands of years, nobles have been proud to marry the daughter of a noble family. There are even a few big families who are unwilling to marry their daughters to the royal family.

Not to mention marrying common people, very few marry from poor families. As a prince, he was the first person in history to take the initiative to marry a commoner woman.

The eyes of the world only see the difference in status, but they don't know that he has tried his best to marry Dong Su, which is his luck.

Looking at the smiling Dong Su, Ling Moxiao's heart was filled with warmth.

How lucky I am to meet you!

When Shen Dongsu learned that Jiang Jiaming had donated a large amount of food on the surface, but secretly shared the food and supplies with her, and would transport them to Youzhou by sea.

She couldn't help but praise the Jiang family to Ling Mo Xiao. Although she knew that the Jiang family wanted to hug King Ling's lap, there were still very few merchants who could be so generous.

She felt that she could establish a long-term cooperation with the Jiang family, but Ling Moxiao was noncommittal and asked her to do what she wanted.

There's that sentence again, she can do whatever she wants!

The big boss provides the greatest easing policy and moral support! As for material support, it's a pity that the big boss is very poor now.

When I saw Mrs. Jiang's handwritten letter, she said that although she had returned to the Liu family, her mood was completely different.

She no longer desires Liu Hou's love, she only strives for the status of the Liu family, and only seeks a good future for Bao'er.

She was the mistress of the Liu family with a clear conscience. She had a rich dowry and a group of capable subordinates. She regarded the troubles of the Liu family as a joke.

She took a concubine to Marquis Liu and gave birth to a child in her name. She would never sleep with Marquis Liu in her life.

Mrs. Xiao actually ran away with her two sons, leaving a daughter at home.

But Liu Hou will definitely chase them back. I don’t know what will happen to Xiao’s family. Liu Hou will definitely not give up on those two children...

Shen Dongsu knew that in this era, it was absolutely impossible for the Jiang family to reconcile, but with Jiang's methods, she would be very comfortable returning to the Liu family.

Now she only needs to raise Bao'er well, make her business bigger and stronger, make the Jiang family stronger, have a backer, and have a legitimate son in her name.

No matter what happens to Liu Hou!

Shen Dongsu thinks Jiang’s mentality is very good!

In the following days, the Tatars went to small counties and towns to plunder twice more, and Ling Moxiao led troops to pursue them.

Shen Dongsu, on the other hand, was completely immersed in receiving and opening gifts, as well as sorting them.

This joy affected the entire Youzhou City. The soldiers were given new food, and the wounded barracks were given sugar water, eggs and meat.

People who delivered coke outside the city gate could exchange for salt and cloth in addition to food.

It is difficult to count the responses of the clerks. Ordinary Han people can still remember their names. Those foreigners do not understand the language and their names are not easy to remember. Their math level is simply that of a three-year-old child.

They just carry a basket of coke in exchange for food, which is a waste of time.

Unlike the Han people who are willing to let petty officials register and count them, they exchange grain most uniformly at the last time of the day.

With the extremely thick and rich reference material in her previous life for plagiarism, Dong Su quickly thought of a solution, the work-point system!

The work points for making bamboo sticks are as follows: carrying a basket of coke and giving out a bamboo stick. Different materials are marked with different work points.

In the end, bamboo sticks are exchanged for supplies. As long as we ensure that we do not cheat the people, I believe everyone will accept this system.

In addition, work points also have hidden benefits, that is, if you save 100 work points, you will receive precious sugar or tea leaves; if you save 1,000 work points, you will be eligible to move your household registration to the city...

Regarding this point, Jiasi didn't understand: "Didn't the princess say that there is a shortage of people in the city and that people should be moved into the city as soon as possible? Why is the work point system used as a condition?"

Mo Xiujin understood this problem instantly: "Because if the government does not have the conditions to advertise for people to enter the city, the people will only panic and be afraid."

"I'm afraid that the government is tricking them into going to the city to die. I'm afraid that after entering the city, it will be difficult to escape from the city."

"The first reaction of the people to the new system issued by the superior is never what are the benefits, but what are the disadvantages."

"But if there are conditions attached to entering the city, and it is still in the reward mode, then the situation will be completely different."

Now A4 understands, and can even draw inferences from one instance to find cooperation with foreigners. They rush to find them, but foreigners are always afraid of traps and are unwilling to come.

But if they are lured with benefits and rewarded, only those aliens who have accumulated enough work points will be qualified to cooperate with King Ling!

Then let them catch up!

Those foreign races who had enough information to cooperate did not want to participate, but looking at such a generous reward and thinking about how difficult it was for them to qualify, they always had the urge to win.

Jia Si said with admiration: "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for clarifying my doubts. I know what to do." After that, he hurriedly left.

In the office behind the Moon Gate, Dongsu, Xiao Pange and eldest brother were left, still counting the goods that were constantly being delivered.

Seeing the donations from people in Chang'an North District, Dong Su felt warm and worried in her heart:

"The whole city of Chang'an is talking about my letter. Do you think my hometown will also hear the letter?"

Shen Linzhong nodded: "I heard the news ten days and a half at night. In the past, the news from Chang'an to Guangzhou spread slowly, but in recent years it has spread much faster."

It should be said that since Dong Su married King Ling, news from Chang'an would soon reach Guangzhou.

Shen Linzhong said vaguely: "My family heard about the hot air balloon incident that time."

Unfortunately, the news was completely different from the original news. The whole family almost thought that something happened to Dong Su. Outsiders would not understand the hardships of the Shen family in those days.

Shen Linzhong thought she didn't know about it, so he vaguely mentioned it, but he didn't know that Xiaoman had already quietly told Dong Su.

Grandpa Shen cried for half the night.

Shen Dongsu suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but become anxious: "Then I have to write a letter to my hometown quickly. What if I take it seriously, I will be so anxious!"

Mo Xiujin disagreed:

"Now the emperor takes it seriously, and everyone in Chang'an City takes it seriously. If your letter falls into the hands of the queen's people, it will be suspected of deceiving the emperor. It's better to write a simple peace letter!"

Everyone knows that there are many spies of the queen in Guangzhou, the female doctor who was led to Dianzhou by Jia Shiba, and Lu Yunzhou who is now in the Ministry of Ordnance.

But those who were in the dark were not caught, so they had to guard against them.

Shen Linzhong also agreed with Mo Xiujin's words and comforted: "Those things you wrote will sound worse to the nobles in Chang'an than the life in the city here is than that of refugees."

"But to us people, it sounds like farmers! Although we don't eat jealous cloth, we do eat salt mud."

"In famine years, you can't even eat the old rice that has worms in it. Rice bran is a good thing."

Shen Dongsu was persuaded. When he first traveled to the Shen family, his life was not as good as that of the Youzhou frontier army.

Grandpa and the others can at most sigh, and they shouldn't be worried about her.

It's a pity that their prediction was wrong. The Shen family's life was hard. That was before, but how good it is now!

There are white-flour steamed buns every meal, salt available all year round, meat stew every now and then, and precious things like eggs are available for breakfast every day.

When everyone in Youzhou eats old rice with worms, they can only eat jealous rice without salt, and wounded soldiers can't even drink a sip of brown sugar water.

The twenty carts of dowry brought by Princess Ling were eaten by Youzhou soldiers in one day and so on.

When these news reached Guangzhou, they were naturally exaggerated.

And I don’t know how the news was spread, and things happened on Dong Su’s way to Youzhou were also involved.

There is not even water to eat, and one has to walk a long way to get water from a bitter well to drink; Youzhou doesn’t even have wild vegetables, and when one digs for wild vegetables and finds poisonous mushrooms, he is reluctant to throw them away, and everything he eats is poisoned; the soldiers are so greedy for meat that they risk their lives. I went to hunt down the pig and dragon to eat...

Well, although there is no such thing, it is contradictory to beating the pig and the dragon, but no one cares. Anyway, the news is getting more and more outrageous. The situation in Youzhou has changed from border army refugees to a living hell.

It will soon be said that the dignified King Ling and Princess Ling will have better food than the beggars in Jiangnan!

Anyway, now everyone's discussion about Youzhou has started from how strong are the Tatars and how weak is our army? It turns out that our troops don’t have enough food and clothing to keep warm...

At the dining table, Grandpa Shen looked at a bowl of hard-boiled eggs, steamed scallion rolls, fried rice noodles with three shreds of rice, porridge with lentils, and several plates of pickles. It was too much to eat!

It should be said that the whole table could not eat. Zhongyang and Xiaohu lived in the college and were not at home today.

There is only one child, Xiaoman, at the table. How good she is at observing faces! After seeing the mood of the adults on the table, he didn't dare to move the small bowl he was holding.

The children did not come to the table to eat, but stood silently in the corner eating bean porridge. They did not dare to make a sound or hold food.

Several female workers outside the hall were talking in low voices, not daring to say a word loudly, and walking very lightly.

Father Shen was as gloomy as Grandpa Shen, while Mrs. Jiang was as usual, crying before speaking.

He sobbed from time to time and said while crying: "I just said that Lin Zhong shouldn't be allowed to follow him. The poor child is at the border and doesn't even have enough to eat!"

Mo Xiujin cried again: "Xiao Pan is a scholar! How can a scholar be jealous of Bu Chen Mi!"

These words made the silent father Shen no longer silent: "You mean Dong Su should be jealous of cloth and Chen rice! You are still only talking about Lin Zhong and Xiao Pan!"

Jiang said matter-of-factly: "When she marries Prince Ling, she will go with him. If Prince Ling wants to go to the border to be jealous, it is right for her as a daughter-in-law to go."

"I have pity on me, Lin Zhong. That child only has enough food to eat! Thinking of him makes my heart ache..."

Before she could finish crying, she was interrupted by Grandpa Shen slapping the table. If the old man hadn't been worried about the food, he would have wanted to overturn the table!

He pointed at Mr. Jiang’s nose and cursed: “You, Lin Zhong, have only had enough to eat for a few days! Our whole family has enough to eat because of who!”

"This table of eggs and steamed buns can't stop your mouth, right? OK! You said that your daughter who gets married must stay with her husband's family."

"Don't take any of my daughter's things! All the people and business in our family who use Prince Ling's Mansion will be withdrawn."

"I want to see if you can still eat this egg white steamed bun without the winter element!"

"The college where Zhongyang studied was also found by Manager Liu. He asked Zhongyang to drop out and go back to the town to study."

Jiang was anxious now. She knew that everyone in the family favored Dong Su and felt sorry for Dong Su.

You feel sorry for Dong Su, and I feel sorry for Lin Zhong and Xiao Pan. What's wrong?

He slid down from the chair and knelt down and cried: "Dad! My daughter-in-law is wrong. Even if Dong Su is married, she is still the daughter of our Shen family."

"I feel sorry for her too! I just think that she has the love and protection of the prince, but it's a pity that Lin Zhong and Xiao Pan don't have it!"

Other than that, the biggest customer of this rice noodle workshop is Chef Jia’s hotpot chain store.

If she really breaks off relations with Prince Ling's Mansion, how can she make a lot of money without this guest?

It’s not a good life when you can’t make any money and ask people for money with your palms turned up.

Until now, Mrs. Jiang has not cared much about studying. She used to envy Xiao Pan who was a scholar, but now she sees that Xiao Pan won the scholarship and has not become an official.

On the contrary, Da Yu, who had only been enlightened for one year, became an eighth-rank official based on his skills as a carpenter.

A cousin of Da Yu worked as an official with the prince. Then Zhongyang, his brother-in-law, will definitely become an official even if he doesn't study!

So she was quite happy about not letting Zhong Yang study. When he returned to the town to study, Zhong Yang could go home every day.

It was when she heard that she was severing relations with Prince Ling's Mansion that her rice noodle workshop would not be able to make money, that she apologized urgently.

Regarding Grandpa Shen and Father Shen, Jiang always took the initiative to admit his mistakes and never corrected them.

Grandpa Shen ignored her and asked Father Shen, "What did you say?"

Father Shen looked at the table of sumptuous food and felt ashamed of his transition from frugality to luxury.

In the past, the Shen family's morning meal consisted of a bowl of wild vegetable porridge per person. When did the morning meal at home become so plentiful?

He was eating and drinking well at home, but his children were eating chaffy vegetables outside. He felt so distressed that he wished he could take his own life instead.

He carefully took off the prosthetic leg on the chair, then knelt down and kowtowed to his father:

"It's because my son is not strict in housekeeping, so our family, a small farmer, has more food and clothing than the county grandpa's family. From today on, we will have three meals a day, just like before!"
