The traitorous boss travels through time: The princess is causing trouble again!
Chapter 61 Using Space to Replenish Food
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that it was the merchants. It was not easy for merchants to make money, and this was all used to treat their illnesses...
Everyone was very grateful, but they were all ordinary people and had no idea how they could repay their benefactor.
Tang Xiluo inquired, "Why is your village so far away? It must take a long time to go to the county to buy goods on weekdays, right?"
The village chief nodded and sighed sadly: "Yes, but what can we do?"
Zhan Jingchen frowned: "Did something happen?"
The village chief was filled with sorrow: "To be honest, we are refugees who have fled from other counties. The county despises us because we are penniless and have no use for anything, so we cannot live in the county and have nowhere to go. We can only build a small village in this remote place without anyone's jurisdiction."
Tang Xiluo was stunned: "Then aren't you illegal residents?!"
Zhan Jingchen also understood. No wonder everyone in the village was poisoned but no one reported it to the court, and no county or state officials came to rescue them. Not many people even knew about the situation here.
If they had not passed by here, these dozens of lives would probably have disappeared silently from the world.
Lei Er frowned and said, "Will the local officials within a ten-mile radius expel you?"
Officials in every place have their own jurisdiction, and there are dozens of illegal residents living in their own territories. Why don’t they try to help them or drive them out?
The village chief's eyes were full of gratitude when he said this: "The county magistrate is kind-hearted. He didn't take us in because he had his own concerns. He didn't drive us away and turned a blind eye to giving us a chance to survive. This is already very good."
They were indeed poor refugees, penniless. There were so many beggars in the county that they couldn't even take care of them one by one, let alone so many refugees? A dozen or so would be fine, but there were dozens of them in one village.
Besides, there are limited places for local villages to be resettled, and people have owned their own land for generations. Everyone can’t even get enough food or warm clothes, so who would be willing to give up their land to allow them to build a village?
This place is remote and the land is desolate, so no one is willing to fight for this land, so they can settle here.
Although life was poor, everyone was hardworking and capable, and could see hope for the dim future.
After listening to this, Tang Xiluo felt a little disappointed. These people were all kind-hearted, but their experiences were so unfair. It was surprising and admirable that they were able to survive.
Tang Xiluo looked at the dilapidated wooden houses, which were full of cracks, as if they could be blown down by a strong wind.
"How many years have you lived here?"
The village chief thought for a moment and smiled: "It's been more than 40 years." Even these children are almost ten years old.
Zhan Jingchen had been silent with his lips pursed. He had always believed that the country was strong. Until this moment, he realized that a dynasty could not rely on the efforts of only a few people.
They worked hard enough and the emperor performed his duties diligently, but they still could not improve the suffering of the people. Those high-ranking officials who had no worries about food and clothing were all sleeping soundly, and every day they were either thinking about squandering money or scheming for power with others.
"Old man, there is no land suitable for planting here. How do you make a living?"
The village chief smiled and said, "Occasionally, some guests passing by and asking for a place to stay will give us some. Besides, there are mountains on the left and woods on the right behind our village. There are many wild vegetables and fruits..."
Lei San's eyes were red. They had lived here for more than 40 years. It was already amazing that they had developed the village into this state relying on wild vegetables and fruits.
After that, everyone chatted with each other across the village plaque, with villagers sitting inside and guards standing outside.
Tang Xiluo watched the man walking into the woods alone, probably thinking about something. Although he did not love the throne, it did not mean that he did not love the people. What he saw today must have been a big blow to him.
Tang Xiluo took this opportunity and pretended to walk to the last box in the team casually.
The guard bowed and said, "Madam Wang!" He almost blurted out "Princess Wang"! He actually made such a low-level mistake!
"Please punish me, madam."
Tang Xiluo glanced at him. What's wrong with him? Do you like being spanked?
"What's wrong with you?"
There is nothing wrong with the due diligence code box?
The guard was stunned. Didn’t the princess notice his carelessness?
"I was careless and almost got exposed..."
Tang Xiluo was stunned. No way? He was asking for punishment? This was too cautious and strict, wasn't it?
"Ahem! Considering that you were careless this first time, I won't hold it against you. Be more careful next time."
The guard opened his eyes in disbelief. Just like that... everything is fine? The princess and the prince are a perfect match made in heaven! In fact, the prince is also very tolerant of them. As long as they don't make a big mistake, the prince will basically just give them a small punishment.
However, the prince was still very strict when it was necessary, so that they did not dare to make any mistakes.
Today, I am a little distracted because I feel sympathy for the people's plight, but I feel powerless to do anything.
The guard was moved and blamed himself. He must not be so careless again. He must not expose everyone and hurt everyone because of his carelessness.
Tang Xiluo raised his chin towards him and said, "I'll give you a chance to make amends."
The guard knelt down with his hands clasped in front of him and said, "Madam, I will do my best to complete your order."
"Very good, then go find some clean water and try to bring some over."
The guard nodded and left.
Tang Xiluo looked left and right, and found himself standing in the last blind spot of his vision, so that others could discover what he was doing.
So she secretly opened the box, then used space to suck out the stones inside, and then filled it with food that could be reasonably explained in ancient times.
Afterwards, she pretended to be casual and staggered in front of Zhan Jingchen.
The man glanced at her in surprise. This was the first time she took the initiative to approach him.
"What's the matter?"
Tang Xiluo curled his lips: "I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do? You are my husband."
Zhan Jingchen was speechless. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that whenever she asked him for something or had any plans, he would put himself in the right position.
The man pursed his lips and looked at her quietly, and those troubles seemed to be alleviated a lot.
Tang Xiluo couldn't stand his strange look, so he said unhappily: "I want to share the food in the box with everyone, is that okay with you?"
He is the one in charge, so everything needs to be discussed with him. After all, they are now on the same side.
Zhan Jingchen was puzzled: "Food in the box? Food in what box?"
Aren't there only stones in the boxes? Besides, the dry food they brought was not enough to share with the villagers.
Tang Xiluo grinned: "You know, I prefer to eat delicious food..."
Zhan Jingchen nodded. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he still waited quietly for her to speak.
Tang Xiluo looked like he was heartbroken and reluctant, but had no other choice.
"Before setting off, I secretly exchanged the stones for food. I was also thinking that there would be something delicious on the road, so..."
Zhan Jingchen was overjoyed: "You really know how to give me a big surprise. This time, thanks to you for secretly changing the food, I will compensate you with more delicious food when I go back!"
Unexpectedly, she accidentally solved the problem that she was currently worried about.
