Chapter 464: Deputy Director Cao, goodbye!
The two people stared at it in a daze.
Ji Xiaobei appeared in front of them riding a white horse, looking heroic and majestic.
Ji Xiaobei dismounted from the horse and He Ye took the reins from Ji Xiaobei.
Fu Jichang followed Ji Xiaobei with a serious expression.
An attitude of sacrificing one's life for justice and facing death with equanimity.
Seeing his solemn expression, Ji Xiaobei deliberately joked, "Easy, easy, take it easy, it's not dangerous at all!"
Fu Jichang didn't understand what she meant by "cunning chicken".
In order to reassure her, he forced himself to produce a smile that was uglier than crying.
Ji Xiaobei: Forget it, you’d better stop laughing!
Seeing your smile makes me prone to having nightmares at night.
When they arrived at a spacious place, Ji Xiaobei asked him to find a place to cool down and come back in a few minutes.
Fu Jichang found a shady rock not far away and sat down.
Before I could even sit down, I heard Ji Xiaobei shout, "Okay, come over here!"
Fu Jichang turned around and was so frightened that he almost died on the spot.
There was a pile of potato cubes on the ground like a small hill, with small sprouts on top.
There are also green sweet potato vines spread all over the ground!
He opened his mouth wide and looked at Ji Xiaobei.
Ji Xiaobei was looking at him with a smile.
Fu Jichang blinked and rubbed his eyes, the thing was still there!
OMG!
She really has extraordinary abilities!
A quarter of an hour later, Fu Jichang came back to his senses and stammered:
"This, this is a crop that can bear fruit..."
Ji Xiaobei clicked on the note he had written in advance, but in the end he didn't have the courage to take it out.
After all, Xiaoyaozi saved so much money for himself in Golden Leopard.
"How much silver is it in total? The government office has already prepared the silver." Fu Jichang's voice changed a little with excitement.
"It's not expensive. It's the money from the government office. Just take it!"
Fu Jichang: This woman has always been extremely stingy, why is she suddenly so generous this time?
He said: "The government office has prepared 200 taels of silver. If you don't want it, I will save it for you until it reaches the Golden Leopard..."
"No, don't save it..."
Ji Xiaobei hurriedly said that he didn't want to owe him anything anymore.
"Take this!" Fu Jichang handed a silver note to Ji Xiaobei.
Ji Xiaobei took a quick look and saw that it was 200 taels, and it was stamped with the official seal.
"My work is done, I am leaving!"
Ji Xiaobei put the money in his pocket, said something, and walked away with a swagger.
Fu Jichang wanted to tell her to be careful on her way, but she had already reached the temple gate, so he had to give up.
At the temple gate.
Deputy Director Cao of the Grand Minister of Agriculture rushed over and jumped out before the sedan chair came to a complete stop.
"What's going on? A large number of guards have been transferred here. I want to see what kind of ritual is going on. The refugees heard that they could share food if they reclaimed the wasteland in the West Mountain, so they all came here in such a large force. It's simply nonsense..."
He saw He Ye guarding the door and yelled angrily.
He Ye had a cold face, holding a long sword in his hand, and said nothing. The task he received today was to protect this small temple and not let outsiders enter.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Deputy Director Cao raised his leg and was about to walk inside.
He Ye held the sword in front of the door and said sternly, "Wait a minute, Deputy Director Cao, you can't go in!"
Deputy Director Cao obviously did not expect that he would be stopped by a small garrison commander, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"You...you dare to stop me?"
He Ye stood straight: "I have received an order, no one is allowed to enter, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
Deputy Director Cao was so angry that his nose was crooked: "Kill without mercy, who gave you the courage?"
Deputy Director Cao took another step forward, and He Ye directly put the knife across his neck.
The cold blade was pressed against his throat, and Deputy Director Cao's face turned pale.
Deputy Director Cao took a step back and pointed at He Ye angrily: "You... Anzhou is ruined in the hands of people like you."
"Deputy Director Cao, please respect yourself!"
He Ye's tone was indifferent, without a trace of fear.
Ji Xiaobei walked out and opened the door.
A little old man with a red head and a swollen face appeared towards him. He Ye's face was as cold as ice.
He Ye put away the knife and clasped his fists towards Ji Xiaobei.
Ji Xiaobei led the little white colt over, mounted the horse and galloped away.
"She, a woman, what is she doing here?" Deputy Director Cao asked, pointing at Ji Xiaobei's back.
"My subordinates don't know!" He Ye said coldly.
Deputy Director Cao saw many horse-drawn carriages coming towards this side from afar.
Dozens of carriages stopped at the temple gate.
"Deputy Director Cao, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. There is an important ritual going on here. If you offend the gods and the emperor blames you, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"You... Minister He's son, right... How unreasonable!" The old man angrily threw his sleeves and walked away.
He Ye smiled from behind: "My father said the same thing. Goodbye, Deputy Director Cao!"
After Deputy Director Cao’s sedan chair left.
He Ye opened the temple gate and dozens of carriages entered one after another.
After a while, the carriage slowly drove out, covered with a layer of hay.
Fu Jichang followed the last carriage out.
The ban on the small temple was lifted, and He Ye led his men to escort the carriage to Xishan.
Fu Jichang rode ahead on horseback.
On the way, I kept hearing people shouting, "Go to Xishan!"
A few days ago, the government office posted a notice to recruit refugees to go to the Western Hills to open up wasteland and plant crops. After the planting is completed, they will receive 10 kilograms of coarse grains.
The refugees are all waiting and watching, and not many people sign up.
How can I have the energy to open up new land if I don’t have enough food to eat every day?
But some people still signed up. They worked for seven or eight days in a row, and only had a bowl of thin porridge every day. The people's wielding hoes became increasingly weaker, and the thin porridge was very watery and not at all filling.
Some people left before the planting season.
They have to beg for food, they have to earn money to buy steamed buns.
A lot of people have gathered at the foot of the West Mountain.
People discovered that deep trenches had been dug along the roadsides surrounding the West Mountain, and the trenches were filled with boiling charcoal.
At the other end of the trench stood a guard holding a machete.
All of them are vicious.
The refugees could only watch from the other side of the trench.
On the other side of the dirt road, cartloads of potato cubes were being transported to the newly reclaimed wasteland.
The refugees buried potato pieces in the soil and planted sweet potato vines in the mud.
Pour the water in the bucket into the water, and everyone will be filled with strength.
As long as you complete it, you can get food.
Before dark, all the potato pieces and sweet potato vines were buried in the ground.
As the sky grew darker, the refugees on the other side of the trench looked on with jealousy.
The refugees who planted potatoes spontaneously organized themselves to protect the cultivated fields.
Farmers naturally trust and rely on the land.
Some people even shed tears.
Together with Anzhou's guards, they ensured that the field spent the first night safely.
Deputy Director Cao hadn't even seen the potatoes he had planted, and he was so angry that his beard stood up high.
"Go and ask Judge Fu to come over!" he said to his men.
