Chapter 788 Thinking Beautifully and Being Shameless

Author: Sanyang Tailai

Yang Xi paused and continued: "Twenty kilograms of grain for both men and women over the age of eighteen, fifteen kilograms for those from ten to eighteen years old, and ten kilograms of grain plus fish bone meal for those under ten years old."

It was impossible to feed everyone. The relief grain originally ordered by the court was only half of the current amount. As long as they could not starve to death, Xixuan decided to purchase grain from small neighboring countries such as Lanta, which increased the number of pounds of relief grain.

Speaking of food, the Northern Expedition wiped out Xixuan's years of food accumulation, and coupled with the heavy burden on the northern states, it has been difficult to survive in the past two years.

When she went north, the Minister of Household Affairs complained to Xixuan about poverty every day, wishing he could write the word "no money" on his face!

While Yang Xi was distracted, the people were dumbfounded. They were not good at counting, but they could do some simple calculations. Once they counted so much food, the people were overjoyed and cried bitterly.

Yang Xi recovered her thoughts and asked, only to find out that when they left, there were many old people without children who were unwilling to leave. As soon as autumn passed, it would be cold winter, and the old people did not want to go down the mountain to add to their burden.

When Yang Xi heard this, he said, "I will leave a few people to help you take the old man down the mountain."

After the people in the northeastern states receive relief grain for a month, the middle-aged people will arrange work in exchange for grain, while the old and the weak, women and children can continue to receive grain. It is compulsory for the prime-age people to work and receive grain, so lazy people should not try to suck the blood of the old and the weak.

Yang Xi stayed in the mountain village for one day and then left the mountain village. However, if he saw any people during the rest of the journey, he would ask if he could apply for household registration.

Along the way, we really found that many people did not know how to receive food. Unfortunately, the northeastern states were too short of officials to handle matters, so we had to take it step by step.

When Yang Xi arrived in Yunzhou, Zhou Ran was not in the city, but took people to the countryside. Just like when he established the medical system in the south, Zhou Ran still did it personally this time.

Yang Xi felt heartbroken when she saw her son. He had lost too much weight and looked empty in the clothes she prepared.

Zi Heng saw that his mother's eyes were red and said, "Mom, my son will definitely raise the meat back and won't make you feel bad anymore."

Yang Xi wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Mom, I know you are dedicated to the people, so you should take it easy. I'm so tired and you will suffer in the future."

Zi Heng thought to himself that luckily the nearby land was almost ready to be surveyed, "Mom, uncle and the others are waiting for us, shall we go have dinner first?"

Yang Xi glared at her son, but still couldn't bear to talk about the eldest son, "Okay, you eat more today."

After dinner, Yang Xi couldn't sleep because she was living in a strange house. Looking at the clean house, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Obviously she can sleep in a common people's house, but I don't know who has slept in this house.

As long as Yang Xi thinks that this place was occupied by the Northeast tribe, she can't sleep even more. The room is obviously very clean, but many people have died in vain in this room.

She didn't have a good night's rest, so Yang Xi didn't feel energetic when she woke up. When Mrs. Wei came over, Yang Xi was lying on the rocking chair to rest.

Mrs. Wei asked with concern, "Didn't sister get a good rest?"

Yang Xi nodded, "How are you and Zhenxin resting?"

Breakfast was eaten separately. Mrs. Wei smiled when she mentioned her son, "We had a good rest. Zhenxin followed Zhenyuan out early in the morning."

Speaking of Zhenyuan, Mrs. Wei's heart was complicated. Zhenyuan was willing to take Zhenxin with her, which surprised her. After secretly asking her son, Mrs. Wei wanted to be nice to Zhenyuan, but it was a pity that Zhenyuan did not need her care.

Yang Xi asked, "Why didn't you go out for a walk?"

Mrs. Wei took the tea from the maid and said, "There's nothing to see in the city's depression. It's better to stay and recuperate."

Yang Xi took a sip of tea to refresh herself, "Yes, the city is empty."

Wei had never been to the Northeast, and she felt worried about what she saw along the way, "I don't know what the situation is like in my ancestral home."

I’m really afraid of people who don’t even have their ancestral home alive!

Yang Xi was silent. She was unfamiliar with her ancestral home and didn't have much memory in her mind. "Hey, I don't know if the house at home is still there."

Mrs. Wei regretted coming back so early, but she had to keep her word, "My husband said the house will be rebuilt if it is gone."

Even if the house in their hometown is there, they will not live in their hometown. If they want to open a school, it is more convenient to open a school in the county town. Of course, the prefectural city is also a good choice, but because of their ancestral home, they chose the county town.

On the other hand, Zi Heng led his younger brothers to work. He did not feel guilty at all about squeezing his younger brothers. Even though his younger brothers and cousins ​​were not very old, they were knowledgeable enough to be adults.

Zilu had a sad face. He originally wanted to follow his brother and look around, but now he was caught. "You are really my brother."

Zi Heng pointed to the household registration and the re-registered land deed, "When will the registration be completed and when will you leave?"

Zilu, "."

He didn't see many people in the city, so why were there so many copies of household registrations and title deeds?

Ziheng saw through his brother's thoughts and said, "This is the number in the entire Yunzhou."

The area of ​​the northeastern states is not small, with Yunzhou being the largest, and because of its geographical location as a transportation hub, Yunzhou has the largest number of people. There are not many people in the city, and there are many people hiding outside the city.

In addition, there are insufficient officials in Yunzhou counties, and all matters are concentrated in the capital city, so there is not much to do!

Seeing Zhenyuan working silently, Zi Heng nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the well-behaved Zhenxin. He was worried about Zhenyuan when he knew there was another cousin, but now it seemed that his worries were in vain.

As for his uncle's idea, Ziheng agreed with both hands, because the Northeast is in great need of talents, and his uncle's opening of a school can cultivate talents, which is conducive to the construction of Northeast China.

The next day, after Yang Xi had a good rest, she followed Hu Jiao to visit the victimized woman. She was very inspirational to regard women as her husband, and she was a princess, so she expressed condolences on behalf of the court as a princess, which meant that the court did not discriminate against them.

Hu Jiao also announced that she will build a workshop so that they can have a stable job in the future and don't have to worry about a future.

Yang Xi watched the girls cry with joy, thinking that the girls would have a wonderful life.

Hu Jiao also talked about her experiences, and finally solemnly introduced her now. She is a female maritime merchant. All merchants in the south know her. As long as she is strong, she can live her life without fear of criticism.

Yang Xi looked at the girls and her eyes became determined. She would stay in the city for a few days. During these few days, she would read newspapers to the girls and talk about the outside world.

A girl raised her hand and said, "Your Highness, can a young girl take the imperial examination?"

The smile on Yang Xi's lips grew bigger and bigger, "Of course."

The girl jumped for joy and looked at her without any embarrassment. "I will work first to save money and repair. I heard Master Zhou said that a college will be built in the city. I want to study like Master Zhou."

She wants to help more girls, and she wants to live out her life.

Yang Xi didn't say that she would help Chu Shuxiu. She respected the girl's decision, "When you enter school, I will give you pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

She hopes that more women will study, but unfortunately only this girl named Qi wants to study.

In Jiaozhou Fucheng, Yang Xixuan met Hu Lechna. Only then did he know why Hulechna came. After hearing his words, Yang Xixuan sneered, "You are really not greedy."

Hulechna held up his wine glass and said, "I just want to send some children to study in Rongzhou Academy."

Yang Xixuan wanted to roll his eyes, "You have broken your promise here. I don't believe your ten-year agreement."
