Everyone was in a daze, but they did not forget to line up consciously.

The waiter counted the heads and it seemed that there were a little more than the number he had just estimated.

However, on second thought, more or less, they are all beggars from this place, so it can't be wrong.

The waiter began to distribute big steamed buns to the children, three for each person. The children had short arms, so they had to hold the three buns with their arms.

After Gou'er and his group caught up with them, they quietly went to the back of the line. When the waiter was counting the number of people, they were extremely nervous.

Fortunately, all three big steamed buns were received.

Finally, there were a few steamed buns left in the basket, and the waiter shared them with the older children. After all, they were reluctant to eat them alone, so they shared them with their younger brothers and sisters.

The large iron pot on the ox cart was also carried into the broken wall and placed on the ground.

"You should eat this pot of porridge first. It's hot, don't let it go bad. The lady of that guest gave you this pot as a gift. You can use it to boil water and cook in the future."

The task was completed, and the waiter asked the driver to go back.

Only a group of children holding big steamed buns were left, standing there, some feeling surprised and some confused.

However, the two boys who were originally on night watch were now guarding the iron pot.

They looked at each other and opened the lid of the pot.

A strong smell of grain penetrated the nostrils of the children sitting beside the pot.

Everyone came back to look.

The crowd gradually began to talk.

"Just now, that young man said not to spoil the porridge..."

"There's food to eat..."

"I'm so hungry..."

"Eat steamed buns. I've already eaten one. It's really delicious."

"But there is so much porridge in the pot..."

I am craving for anything to eat now.

Gou'er's sister licked her lips.

She is hungry too...

She could only bear to eat half of a steamed bun.

I kept half of it and hid it to persuade my brother to eat it.

Now she and her brother both have big steamed buns, but she also wants to drink porridge...

"Come here!"

One of the guys on night watch called out to the dog, "I know you guys are from the end of the street, why are you here so late at night?"

The dog led his sister forward and confessed to his elder brother, "A lady told me that someone was delivering food here, and asked us to come over and wait."

When the other boy heard this, he remembered what the waiter said and looked at his companion. He was basically certain that the "madam" he was talking about was the same person as the "madam" the waiter mentioned.

Gou'er's bowl was taken away, and a large spoonful of porridge was scooped out. "Everyone, have some. There is extra porridge in this pot. Save the steamed buns for tomorrow."

Seeing that the brother and sister only had one bowl, he said to the dog, "Eat faster and finish first. I will give the other bowl to your sister."

After saying that, he went to distribute the porridge to everyone.

But Gou'er brought the bowl close to his sister's mouth and let her take a few bites first.

For a moment, no one said any more nonsense. Everyone slurped the porridge and couldn't wait to pour it into their mouths.

Usually not many people pay attention to this place, and at night only the soldiers in the watchtower on the city wall can vaguely see some movement.

Two soldiers standing guard at the city gate came over to investigate, but saw their governor on the side of the collapsed wall.

The soldier subconsciously wanted to salute, but Gu Jingyan silently stopped him and sent him away.

Li Changle and the other two had been standing here for quite a while.

"How long will it take for the North to solve the problem of food and clothing?"

She knew that after the drought, some places would be able to recover gradually if they took a break.

But some places are not so fast.

Bac Dinh Province is not as rich in fish and rice as the south.

Most of the arable land is mountainous and dry land.

Most of the land in Bac Ninh City is dry land, which is a severely drought-stricken area.

Gu Jingyan was silent for a while, then said quietly: "I still have to ask you about this, the Minister of Agriculture of the Great Yan Dynasty..."

Because of the abduction, she almost forgot that she had been given an official title.

Now he is also a fourth-rank Minister of Agriculture.

Li Changle raised his head slowly.

Please answer.

She had heard of this "Grand Minister of Agriculture" from Li Xing's mouth.

what is it?

Gu Jingyan looked at her with a hint of smile in his eyes, "Changle is now a person who receives a salary from the court. Even if he is the governor, he has to give you some respect."

The emperor was indeed very painstaking in his efforts, and the old stubborn people in the court submitted many memorials to protest.

In the eyes of court officials, women are vassals of men, carriers of offspring, and the harem is their home.

Giving women official titles and having men and women work together in the court was considered shameful by men.

Therefore, the emperor put some thought into ensuring that the imperial edict to appoint Li Changle as an official was successfully issued.

Li Changle: "The emperor is so sincere, I am a little flattered..."

He spoke in fear, but his face was calm.

Gu Jingyan was also calm and collected, "You deserve it."

Li Changle nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Don't you have to punch in every day... the kind that requires you to report for duty?"

"……Need not."

Gu Jingyan didn't explain it very clearly.

In the Sinong Division of Heian Kyoto, there was another Grand Sinong who had the same official rank as her, and who had to report to the Division on time every day.

He is the one who is so busy that his feet hit his head.

Moreover, in the entire Sino-Agricultural Department, no one is not busy.

The emperor gave her such an official rank, which gave her enough status.

The mere fact that they were both of the same rank as genuine officials had firmly broken the precedent.

Well, as a senior executive of the Sino-Agriculture Department and a leader who is often on business trips, no one would know even if she slacked off every day, and she is not needed at all for work.

Gu Jingyan was very satisfied with the emperor's arrangement.

Li Changle was not picky either.

However, "What rank does the Minister of Agriculture hold?"

"Fourth rank."

It’s really big.

Just look at Li Huaitong, the magistrate of Li County, and you will know that for some court officials, it is extremely difficult to climb up a level if no one in the court sticks up for them.

Li Changle was promoted to the fourth rank as soon as he was appointed, and everyone would say that the emperor was partial to him.

"What rank is the governor?" Li Changle caught up with Gu Jingyan and asked.

"…What about the governor? The governor needs to eat, and the people under the governor's rule also need to eat."

Li Changle: That seems to make a lot of sense.

She holds the "granary".

This person must give her some ground no matter whether it is reasonable or not.

.

When we returned to the inn, all the diners in the lobby had left.

The waiter who was arranging the tables and chairs saw them come back and became busy again, preparing hot water, snacks, and tea.

Li Changle had a good impression of this waiter. He really would do everything for you beautifully as long as you paid the right amount of money.

Li Changle took out some silver coins to reward him, and the waiter happily left with the reward.

This lady is very generous and a really good person.

At night, Gu Jingyan hugged his wife.

Although he hadn't slept for two nights, he had no desire to sleep at all.

Holding the person in his arms, feeling the long-lost warmth and softness, his fingers unconsciously stroked her shoulders through Li Changle's nightgown, and his eyes carefully traced her eyebrows.
