As for the third sister, Ma Liang rushed home, but what greeted him was not the long-lost embrace, but the third sister's broom.

"Wife, wife! What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy that I'm back?" Ma Liang shouted while dodging.

The third sister threw the broom at him and shouted angrily, "How dare you come back? Even outsiders support my brother, but you, the third brother-in-law, only care about your own family. How can I have the face to go back to my mother's house in the future?"

"Liang'er, you are so confused!" Father Ma, who was lying on the bed, pounded the bed and cursed, "If you don't support your family, how can we meet in the future?"

"Son! Go back quickly to help your brother-in-law. It was not easy for him to rescue you!" The old mother pulled Ma Liang into the house and advised him earnestly.

Honest and kindhearted Ma Liang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Dad, Mom, and wife, how can I let you worry again after I return from military service? Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. My parents are seriously ill and I can't be filial to them. Yu San'er has not had a good day since she married me. I am unworthy of being a son and a husband!"

The whole family huddled together and cried bitterly. Even the silly little girl, who had the IQ of only two or three years old, cried loudly as if the sky was falling, joining the flood that broke the dam.

----------

After finishing her work, Yu Jiuer went straight back to the county government office to arrange for her family to help and provide support.

The eight sisters in the family are all married. The eldest sister and her husband are teachers in the only school in the county. The second sister married a hunter and lived in the mountains far away from home. She seldom returned to the county government unless there was something special. The other sisters lived closer to the county government and came back often.

When everyone heard Yu Jiuer asked her family for help, they agreed.

Getting the support of her family is a great encouragement to Yu Jiuer. How can she be afraid that this united momentum cannot defeat poverty?

She will have to pamper these loyal fans when she becomes successful in the future!

Yu Jiuer ordered the eldest lady in the family, four concubines, the fourth sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, seventh sister, eighth sister who were able to come back to help, the maid Yutao and the guard Cheng'an, as well as the ten yamen runners in the county government, all as logistics personnel.

None of her family members were lazy (except the original owner). They usually participated in farming to meet their daily needs. Now that something beneficial to the country and the people has fallen on their shoulders, they are all excited and full of energy.

With such a supportive family, Yu Jiuer couldn't help but smile. The future is promising!

After the family meeting, the eldest lady and four concubines helped Yu Jiuer to breed the seeds they bought.

"You didn't breed seeds before, so the grain yield was so low. This time, use the seeds I breed to sow them, and I guarantee that the yield will increase!"

In addition to growing rice, she also wants to plant all the crops that can be grown in this season.

There is plenty of land, no need to be afraid!

Several sisters are responsible for purchasing and cooking. The problem of feeding nearly two thousand people is left to them!

All ten runners from the county government served as helpers!

Many farm tools and materials had to be purchased in Liangzhou Prefecture, and all the logistics staff were busy for a while.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

Five days later, everyone returned to the team.

They don’t have to build the Great Wall, and their family can visit them at any time. They are grateful and cherish this hard-earned treatment.

Also returning were several people who had originally planned to leave. I don't know whether they were forced back by their families or had thought it through. In short, a total of 1,960 people returned.

My third brother-in-law Ma Liang also appeared in the returning team.

The leader of this group was a man named Wang Meng, who was strong and had natural powers.

After everyone was gathered, Yu Jiuer gathered the team: "Family members, our first task is to develop the vast expanse of wasteland in the west of the city, build it into our farm, and create the cradle for our Yinshan takeoff. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The neat and loud voices filled people with passion.

There are tens of thousands of acres of wasteland in the west of the city, overgrown with weeds and bushes. The people are too weak to mine the land. Now that she has sufficient manpower, she is determined to achieve results!

The low-lying land near the river was a swamp, which could be reclaimed into fertile field for growing rice.

She asked the yamen runners to bring out the newly bought farm tools, and Wang Meng excitedly called on everyone to pick up their tools and rush to the wasteland to start working.

Like a doll on a spring, it refuses to stop!

"Let's open up the low-lying area of ​​the river and make it into paddy fields. Let's plant rice first!" Yu Jiuer shouted from afar.

After arranging everything here, Yu Jiuer hurried home to supervise the logistics staff in preparing meals.

Seeing the dozen or so large iron pots used to steam rice and fry vegetables, the more narrow-minded concubines grimaced in pain. Concubine Qu even asked her worriedly, "How much money will this cost? How long can we support them?"

Yu Jiuer comforted her proudly: "I am an expert at making money, and I will definitely lead the people of Yinshan to become rich. Auntie, just put your mind at ease!"

On this side of the wasteland, everyone had been busy for the whole morning and was exhausted, so they sat down on the edge of the field to rest for a while.

When building the Great Wall in Xiguanying, they would have brown rice for lunch, but I don’t know if the county magistrate would give them lunch because they had the coveted white flour buns for breakfast.

"How about I go and ask?" Wang Meng hesitated for a moment and stood up.

"Brother Wang, don't go!" Someone hurriedly held him back. "You won't die from starvation. It's already not easy for the county magistrate to rescue us. Now the crops haven't been planted yet, so how can we expect three meals a day?"

"That's right! Don't push your luck! In the morning, we have steamed buns and porridge, and in the evening, it would be fine if we could have some cassava rice! Forget about lunch, just bear with it!"

A tall and thin man happily came over with a handful of wild vegetables in his hand: "I saw some wild vegetables over there. Let's go borrow a pot from the yamen runner and cook them up so we can have a meal!"

"That... is fine too!"

As they were discussing this, they saw a yamen runner coming over with a load on his shoulder, shouting, "It's time to eat!

Before everyone could react, the bailiff had already opened the wooden barrel, and the aroma of rice wafted in the wind!

Someone asked: "It's white rice! Oh my god! I seem to smell the fragrance of rice. Is there something wrong with my nose?"

The rice yield in the Yinshan area is low, so people would rather grow sorghum, corn and wheat, and rarely grow rice. All rice has to be purchased in Liangzhou, and it is very expensive!

For them, being able to eat white rice is a big deal.

Someone climbed up to the edge of the field and stretched his neck to look: "That white thing in the bucket must be white rice!"

"It seems there is also Chinese cabbage, and in that cabbage... there is also minced meat?" The person who spoke rubbed his eyes, somewhat unbelievable.

The yamen runner called them over, smiling and shouting, "Come here quickly! That's right! For lunch, we'll have white rice with cabbage and minced meat!"

"Wow!" Everyone was shocked. In Xiguanying, this is something you can only eat during the New Year and other festivals!

"You won't have any food for dinner after this meal, right? Can I eat half at noon and save the other half for dinner?" A young man scratched his head and whispered in embarrassment, "I can't sleep if I'm hungry at night!"

The bailiff chuckled and said, "Why keep any more? There's more to come in the evening. The county magistrate said that only when you are full can you have the strength to work. So eat without worry!"

Everyone who received the food chewed the rice in small bites: "This white rice is really delicious. It tastes sweet when I chew it. I can eat three bowls without any vegetables!"

"Giant, where can I get so much white rice for you to eat? Today is the first day, it's a blessing to be able to eat it. If I can have coarse noodles without bran tomorrow, I will be satisfied!"

People nearby who were delivering food to their relatives came closer and murmured in surprise, "Is this county magistrate possessed by evil spirits? How long can he last eating like this?"

Yu Jiuer, who came later, promised: "Don't worry, old man, your child is here, I promise to make sure he has enough to eat every meal! You don't have to go through so much trouble to bring him food from afar in the future!"

"Okay, okay! Thank you for letting the county magistrate spend money!"

The people left wiping their tears.

The demands of the Yinshan people are so low, all they want is a full meal. If she, a time-traveling girl, can't even satisfy this, wouldn't she be useless?

After work in the evening, everyone saw brown rice in the bucket at the edge of the field. They were secretly happy, thinking that they would not be hungry at night because they had brown rice.

But when the bailiffs opened several other barrels, they found coarse flour steamed buns and pickled vegetables and meat slices inside?

The bailiff shouted a few times, but the first person who received the meal was still stunned.

When I saw that what I was handed was a bowl of brown rice, a big steamed bun and a big spoonful of pickled vegetables and meat slices, I was so shocked that I didn't dare to eat it.

The people who received the food later also had shocked expressions on their faces.

When Yu Jiuer walked in, she saw a group of burly men crying while swallowing their food. She said with a smile, "What's wrong? This isn't the last meal before execution, why are everyone's eyes red?"

"Is the county magistrate here?" Everyone stood up and greeted him.

Wang Meng sniffed and said, "Sir, we are all rough men. We don't need to eat so much good food on weekdays. Let's save some for the winter!"
