Chapter 520 Natural Disasters and Wars Disrupt the World 68

Now the target of their envy is not only the people of Yunyang Mansion, but also the people of Hedong Mansion and Chaoyang Mansion.

The people of these two prefectures no longer lived lifelessly. When they heard that Young Master Shen had taken over their Hedong and Chaoyang Prefectures, they just wanted to celebrate with gongs and drums.

The troops sent by Ling Xue brought a lot of food, which temporarily saved the lives of the people in these two provinces.

The eyes of these people are no longer a pool of stagnant water. Their eyes burst out with a burst of life, which is the hope of life.

These people took the sweet potatoes handed out by the soldiers and knelt down one after another and shouted: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your mercy!"

When they were about to starve to death, the food sent by Young Master Shen saved their lives. How could they not be grateful? I'm afraid they won't be able to forget this day for the rest of their lives.

"Is this new food?" These people were curious as they looked at the cooked sweet potatoes and potatoes in their hands, and they were not willing to eat them all at once.

This time, two rations are given to each adult and one to each child. You can choose sweet potatoes or potatoes. Of course, one of the same is also acceptable. The officers and soldiers are not harsh on this.

But these people basically all received the same thing, which was new food. Of course they wanted to try them all.

He carefully took a bite of the potato: "It's soft, waxy, fragrant, and delicious. This new grain is so good! Is it called potato?"

This is the voice of an old boy who is unwilling to leave his hometown. Fortunately, he finally has hope.

The neighbor next to him nodded in agreement: "It's potatoes. I heard they grow in the soil and have a high yield. We might be able to plant them next year. I heard the young master will give us improved varieties."

Everyone is full of hope for the future. With Young Master Shen taking over their duties, their lives will soon be as good as those of the people of Yunyang Mansion.

"This sweet potato is even more delicious. It's sweet to my heart."

Everyone prefers sweet potatoes, which taste sweeter. Sweets can indeed increase people’s happiness. Of course, sweet potatoes are more popular!

Afraid of not having enough food, Lingxue worked overtime to replicate sweet potatoes, fearing that the food would be eaten up by the swarming refugees.

Yunyang Mansion could no longer accommodate so many refugees, so Ling Xue arranged for manpower to move them to Hedong and Chaoyang Mansion, so that there would be more manpower for farming there in the spring.

More and more people are overcoming the blockades of other large and small forces and sneaking to Yunyang Mansion. Of course, there are also many people going to Hedong Mansion and Chaoyang Mansion.

But more people were stopped on the road and couldn't get through. They were waiting for an opportunity. Maybe Young Master Shen would hit them.

They secretly decided in their hearts that when Young Master Shen comes over, they will quietly join him, so that they can be regarded as his common people.

The reason for this decision was not how good they thought Young Master Shen was, but what they thought was more important was that Young Master Shen would distribute new and improved seeds to the people under him, so that they would not have to go hungry.

With food now 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 can she feel?

However, Ling Xue thought about it and gave them a positive answer.

"Okay, whatever you think is okay, if you need anything, just ask Shen Zhen for it!"

The old general and Zhao Weiqing immediately laughed. How could they be soldiers without fighting? Only by fighting can they have the value of existence.

Besides, during the war, they could reach out to Young Master Shen and ask for something without any scruples, otherwise they wouldn't be able to open their mouths.
