Chapter 492: A Family of Dandies Killed All the Civil and Military Officials in the Court (45)
In just one night, the food and grass camp was emptied.
The next morning, Jin Shu appeared at the table early. As soon as breakfast was served, she picked up the bowl of shrimp porridge in front of her and drank it.
Although she was not in a hurry, she was very fast. The porridge was finished in a short while.
There was an empty bowl left, and Jin Shu handed it over directly.
"Fill me another bowl."
Mrs. Jin looked at her like this, with an unbelievable look on her face.
"Why is this child so hungry? I didn't see you eat less last night, so you are starving after just one night?"
Jin Shu lowered her head to eat and had no time to respond to her.
Seeing this, although Mrs. Jin didn't know what happened, she still reached out and stroked her hair with heartache.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, there are more."
"Give me another portion of this sweet cake."
"Okay, eat slowly, I'll let the people below do it now."
Jin Shu was really starving.
Although the time of forty-eight hours was still, the physical strength she consumed was real.
It was equivalent to that she had not eaten anything for a day and a night, and it was after such heavy physical labor.
Fortunately, she practiced for many years and knew some strange skills, otherwise one person would not be able to eat so much food.
County Magistrate Jin hurried back halfway, and urged Jin Shu without eating.
"The soldiers of the Li family have reached the Huai'an line. We must prepare for the battle!"
Jin Shu was still drinking porridge slowly, and threw the token in her arms to County Magistrate Jin.
"This is the token to summon the army. Give it directly to Uncle Zhang. He knows more about this than me."
Zhang Shixu is an all-round talent. He knows how to govern the country and deploy troops. Although Jin Shu bears the title of the king of a country, almost all things are done by Zhang Shixu.
Since he does a good job, Jin Shu naturally doesn't want to worry about it.
"You, why don't you care at all? You are now the ruler of a country, at least you should look like a ruler."
Jin County Magistrate obviously has not adapted to the change of his daughter's identity.
He spent several days, and the hair on his head was almost bald, but he couldn't understand why Zhang Shixu insisted on letting a girl be the ruler, and it had to be Jin Shu.
He wanted to rebel, couldn't he just be the ruler himself?
He couldn't understand, especially when he saw Jin Shu's leisurely and lazy look, he couldn't understand even more.
"Dad, I'm just a decoration, you know in your heart, what can you expect a decoration to do?
You guys are busy, I won't go, the work in the field is not finished yet."
A good young lady, now the ruler of a country, spends all her time in the field except eating and sleeping.
It's November now, but the weather is getting hotter and hotter, let alone cooling down, not even a drop of rain has fallen.
Every day, Jin Shu was sweating in the field. Her originally fair skin became darker due to the continuous wind and sun.
But Jin Shu didn't care about these.
She didn't rely on her face to make a living. Since she decided to be a farmer, she had to do what a farmer should do and work hard.
"Then when you are done with the field, follow your brother to the refugee area and help him."
Jin Shu nodded, and after dinner, she took a carriage to the field for a circle. After confirming that there was no problem with the rice seedlings in the field, she went directly to the place where porridge was distributed.
Jin Shouan looked like an official at this time. He was dressed neatly, his hair was tied up high, and he even wore the jade crown that he was reluctant to wear before.
The porridge distribution site was in order. Now the refugee area has been arranged into each area and each household. Every time the porridge is distributed, each household is counted according to the number of people, one scoop per person, and the measurement is clear.
Anyone who violates the order or bullies the weak will be dragged out of the city gate by Jin Shouan.
After a while, these hungry refugees gradually understood a truth, that is, only by abiding by the rules can they survive here.
"It's not a solution to keep going like this. Sooner or later, we will run out of food."
Because of the responsibility on his shoulders, Jin Shouan's eyebrows have become more mature than before, and of course, he has also become more worried.
Today, he is worried that the food in the field will not grow well if it doesn't rain, and tomorrow he is worried about what to do next when the rice and flour in the granary are getting less and less.
In short, Jin Shouan has done everything that Jin Shu should and shouldn't worry about.
"A Shu, what do you think we should do?"
"Wait until the food in the granary is eaten up, and the food in the field will be almost mature."
"If these people don't have food for two days, they will definitely riot. The food in the field must be harvested before the granary is empty."
Jin Shu patted his shoulder.
"It's useless to worry about this. It's better to appease them in advance. Also, help me find a hundred people who can farm and send them to the fields to help me farm."
"This is easy, but now these are all trivial matters. Didn't you say that the war is about to start? Why are you still here? Even if you don't go to the battlefield, you have to go and take charge, right?"
Jin Shu said firmly.
"Don't worry, there won't be a fight."
"There won't be a fight? Li Yong wants to tear our Jin family apart directly, how can there be no fight?"
"If you really have nothing to do, go to the fields and help me dig the ground. I have recently hatched thousands of chicken, duck and goose eggs. Now these chickens, ducks and geese have hatched, and I just need someone to take care of them. I think you are just right."
Jin Shouan closed his mouth silently.
After all, the one who really has the final say in this family is Jin Shu.
At this time, people outside the city gate were already in a panic.
Everyone had heard that the new emperor personally led troops to attack He'an County.
But not everyone was worried. After all, some people were driven out for making trouble. When they heard that they were going to attack, they were so excited that they wanted the army to attack directly and flatten the city gate of He'an County.
At this time, rumors had spread inside and outside the city gate.
"The new emperor ascended the throne and killed the rebels. Everyone in He'an County must die. It's not too late to run now."
Outside the city gate, those refugees who could not enter the city wanted to shout outside with a loudspeaker.
"You're not letting me in, right? I won't go in even if you invite me in now!
Everyone inside, listen up, if you don't come out now, you'll never be able to come out again when the new emperor's troops attack!"
"I can't do such a thing as betraying my country for a bite of food! A real man would rather die in glory than live in disgrace. Let those people be the running dogs of the Jin family! I want to see how long they can be so arrogant!"
"Why don't we just form a team to support His Majesty? If we can do something meritorious, we might even get some military merit for ourselves!"
The people outside hit it off and formed an alliance immediately.
