Now the objects of their envy are not only the people of Yunyang Prefecture, but also the people of Hedong Prefecture and Chaoyang Prefecture.
The people of these two prefectures were no longer dull and muddled. When they heard that Young Master Shen had taken over their Hedong and Chaoyang prefectures, they were eager to celebrate with drums and gongs.
The army sent by Ling Xue brought a lot of food, which temporarily saved the lives of the people in the two prefectures.
There is no longer a stagnant pool in the eyes of these people. Instead, their eyes are filled with vitality, which is the hope for life.
These people took the sweet potatoes and potatoes distributed by the soldiers, knelt down and shouted: "Thank you, Young Master Shen, Young Master Shen, for your mercy!"
When they were about to starve to death, it was the food sent by Young Master Shen that saved their lives. How could they not be grateful? I'm afraid they will never forget this day in their entire lives.
"Is this the new grain?" The people looked at the cooked sweet potatoes and potatoes in their hands with curiosity, and they were reluctant to eat them all at once.
This time, adults were given two rations and children were given one ration. They could choose sweet potatoes or potatoes, or of course, one of each was also acceptable. The officers and soldiers were not picky about this.
But these people basically all received the same thing, all new grain, so of course they wanted to try them all.
He carefully took a bite of the potato. "It's soft, sticky, fragrant, and delicious. This is a good new crop! It's called potato, right?"
This is the voice of an old student. He was reluctant to leave his hometown, but fortunately, he finally got hope.
The neighbor nodded in agreement: "It's potatoes. I heard they grow in the soil and have a high yield. Maybe we can plant them next year. I heard that the young master will give us high-quality seeds."
Everyone was full of hope for the future. Now that Young Master Shen had taken them in, their lives would soon catch up with those of the people in Yunyang Prefecture.
"This sweet potato is even more delicious. It's so sweet that it touches my heart."
People prefer sweet potatoes which taste sweeter. Sweet foods can indeed increase people’s sense of happiness, so sweet potatoes are of course more popular!
Fearing that there was not enough food, Ling Xue worked overtime to copy sweet potatoes and potatoes, fearing that the food would be eaten up by the influx of refugees.
Yunyang Prefecture could no longer accommodate so many refugees, so Ling Xue arranged for people to relocate them to Hedong and Chaoyang Prefectures, so that there would be more manpower to farm there in the spring.
More and more people broke through the blockade of other forces, big and small, and secretly came to Yunyang Prefecture. Of course, there were also many people going to Hedong Prefecture and Chaoyang Prefecture.
But more people were stopped on the road and couldn't get through. They were waiting for an opportunity. Maybe Young Master Shen would come and attack them.
They secretly decided in their hearts that when Young Master Shen came, they would quietly join him, so that they could be considered Young Master Shen's people.
The reason for this decision is not because they think Young Master Shen is so good, but they think that what is more important is that Young Master Shen will distribute new and improved seeds to his people so that they don't have to go hungry.
With food available, Zhao Weiqing and the old general secretly wanted to expand their territory to the surrounding areas.
"What do you think, young master?" The two looked at Ling Xue eagerly.
Ling Xue: How could she feel?
However, Ling Xue thought about it and gave them a positive answer.
"Okay, if you think it's okay, then it's fine. If you need anything, just ask Shen Zhen!"
The old general and Zhao Weiqing laughed immediately. How could they, as soldiers, not fight? Only with fighting did their existence have value.
Besides, only during wars could they ask Young Master Shen for things without any scruples, otherwise they wouldn't be able to open their mouths.
