Chapter 261 The better the better

 The head of the Peng family and others were stunned.

They spent a whole night digesting these unbelievable things, and finally gritted their teeth and handed over 90% of their land property according to Care Xi's request.

Don’t dare not pay!

Even the head of the Peng family took the lead. In addition to handing over the land, he also donated more than half of the accumulated old grain for disaster relief.

Seeing this, other family heads also followed suit, fearing that the Queen would be angry and take action on them.

Gu Xi was quite satisfied that they could take the initiative to hand over their land and food, so he did not let them go to the mining area for labor reform or land reclamation.

After all, considering the crimes they committed before, it would be a mercy to let them go to open up wasteland and mine without taking their lives.

But now, they are spending money to atone for their sins.

Once these big players are taken care of, everything will go smoothly.

Dividing the fields takes time. Now let’s cook the porridge and let the refugees survive.

Therefore, before dawn, under Gu Xi's instructions, large pots were set up on the streets in the county town and began to cook porridge.

There are more than a dozen of these large pots every few streets. When the porridge is almost ready, the aroma of the porridge will overflow.

Those refugees in the distance were obviously still sleeping, but they were suddenly awakened by this fragrance.

There was that thin child, twitching his nose and swallowing his saliva, "It smells so good, I dreamed about the taste of white rice porridge..."

"I dreamed about it too. It smells so good. It would be great if I could take a sip..."

For a while, there was the sound of swallowing saliva.

"Hey, that's not right. Everyone can smell the fragrance. Then it's not a dream. Someone is really making porridge!"

Those who reacted struggled to get up from the ground, trying to follow the scent to see what was going on.

They endured the overflowing saliva and twitched their noses. They were obviously hungry and had no strength left, but under the attraction of the aroma of porridge, they ran very fast one by one.

Then, they saw a scene they will never forget.

More than a dozen large pots are simmering white rice porridge, exuding an alluring aroma, and there are already people queuing up in front of each large pot.

The porridge cooks were busy stirring the porridge in the pot with thick sticks, and there were officials around them. They just shouted at them to line up to receive their bowls, but did not drive them away!

Oh my god! Someone is giving porridge!

The white rice porridge is still so viscous that you need to stir constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot!

They all suspected that they were too hungry to have such a sweet dream.

Many people pinched themselves, bit themselves, and grimaced in pain, then smiled and cried, and their numb, dark and thin faces finally regained their vitality.

As the aroma of the porridge became stronger and stronger, more and more homeless people in ragged clothes and skinny bones rushed towards various porridge soup places.

Each of them stared at the white porridge in the pot not far away, with no room for anything else in their eyes.

There were those who came from behind and wanted to jump in line because they didn’t want to be at the back, so they were given a lesson by the imperial guards who were maintaining order.

"Everyone should line up carefully. Everyone can have white porridge. Three meals a day, one big bowl per person. We will continue to provide porridge for ten days. After that, we will divide the fields and grains for you..."

The imperial guards shouted these words to calm down the refugees, and their restlessness turned into excitement.

"Did you hear that? The official just said that he would allocate land to us?!"

"Yes! It's to divide the fields! Give us grain and grain!"

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo way way way... yeah, then we don't worry, don't worry about starving thing thing anymore!

…………

More and more refugees were crying excitedly. They really didn’t expect that they would be able to wait until this day.

The imperial court is here to save them!

After the Imperial Guard said these important words, he spoke again,

"The new emperor has ascended the throne. Our emperor is wise and brave, and he cares about the people. From now on, everyone's life will only get better and better. But now, you can drink porridge and allocate fields so quickly, all because of the queen..."

The Forbidden Army was also a big fan of Gu Xi, and he began to preach the achievements of the Queen to the common people, and couldn't stop talking for a while.

The refugees were like an obedience book. Everyone was shocked when they heard it, but it was hard to believe it.

At this time, the sky gradually turned white, revealing the first ray of dawn in the morning, dispelling the darkness of the night.

"Hey, if you don't believe that we came here on a golden dragon, then just raise your head and look at the sky!" The Forbidden Army looked arrogant and arrogant.

When the refugees heard this, they took their eyes away from the cauldron and looked up at the sky.

Then I was stunned and dumbfounded.

There is really, really a golden dragon!

After being stunned, the refugees knelt down one after another and worshiped the golden dragon in the sky, muttering words, all praying for the golden dragon's blessing.

"Hahaha... You are worshiping the wrong one. This is a spaceship and a dead object. If you want to worship, you are also worshiping the Queen and praying to her to bless you."

The Imperial Guards laughed at them unceremoniously, but the smiles were not malicious, they were just funny.

How can the refugees believe that this big golden dragon is a dead object? It is obviously a sacred object.

As for the Empress, because she has never seen anyone in person, she only has vague respect and gratitude in her heart, which is not particularly deep or genuine.

This is the reason why the system suggested that Gu Xi come to provide disaster relief in person. People will feel true to what they see with their own eyes and those who can come into contact with it.

To put it in a condescending way, they all inherited the favor of the Empress. How could the Empress show up in person and personally assure the refugees that she would not give up their sincere and touching words.

Gu Xi also knew this, so after a busy night, she did not take a break. Instead, she came to the street and walked to one soup kitchen after another to appease the refugees. She then personally filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to them, promising

We will definitely let them live.

When the refugees looked at the Queen, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and then saw her treating them like a Bodhisattva, their gratitude to her surged instantly.

The people who handed the porridge to her personally took the bowls from her hands tremblingly, almost unable to hold them with excitement.

This bowl of porridge is worth remembering and bragging about for a lifetime.

This bowl is worthy of being passed down as a family heirloom.

Gu Xi felt waves of comfort coming from her soul, and she was truly grateful to them, the refugees.

No one is willing to save an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. The gratitude and thoughts gained from the people also let Gu Xi know that her efforts were not in vain, and she wanted to do her best to let them live a good life.

-

After Gu Xi left Qushui County, he still did not go back to repair, but continued to rush to the next turbulent county.

At this time, only one day had passed since she set out, but she had already completed quelling chaos and providing disaster relief in four severely affected counties, comforting the refugees.

This efficiency is amazing!
