"All these grains in front of you are going to be given to the Yanshan guards who saved your lives?"
Zhu Di was stunned for a long time, then stared at the people and couldn't help but ask again.
Although he is the high-ranking King of Yan, he also knows how important this food is to these common people.
It can be said that if someone dares to steal a bag of grain from them in the middle of the night, the people will chase him for days and nights to take back the bag of grain!
Not to mention the chickens, ducks, and pigs in front of some of them!
For those farmers, gold is extremely valuable, and now they actually bring it to Yanshanwei?
"When I return to His Highness King Yan, I will also give some of it to King Yan!"
"Exactly, Your Highness King Yan, if you hadn't sent those Yanshan guards to inspect every township and village on a heavy rainy day, these people like us would have been buried under the ruins of the house, and I'm afraid they wouldn't be alive until they died. People can discover it!"
"Your Highness, we are all poor people, and these are the only things at home that are most valuable. Please, Your Highness and all the Yanshan guards, please don't dislike me!"
"Your Highness..."
The faces of all the people were sincere.
Guo An couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
As for Zhu Di, Tang Yun and others, they felt inexplicably blocked in their hearts, and there was also a feeling of lightness all over their bodies.
"Dear fellow citizens, my father has granted me the title of vassal king and asked me to guard Beiping. You are the people under my king's rule.
You pay your taxes to us on weekdays, and it is our duty to protect your safety.
We also know that the bags of grain in front of you, as well as those chickens, ducks and hogs, are the most valuable things in your home.
In fact, even after the Chinese New Year, you are reluctant to eat..."
"As you all know, our Prince Yan's Mansion also has a farm. The chickens, ducks, sheep, and chickens on our Prince Yan's Mansion farm are all over the mountain. There are thousands of each type...
I will tell the Yanshan Guards what you think.
As for the food you brought, as well as poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks and hogs, you should take them back! "
Wow!
All the people knelt down again.
"Your Highness, please accept it!"
"Your Highness, this life-saving grace is worth more than anything else. If Your Highness doesn't accept it, I'll be ashamed!"
"Your Highness, Cao Min and others have nothing good to offer. I can only thank Your Highness and the Yanshan Guards..."
Seeing this, Zhu Di looked embarrassed.
He knew the importance of these things to the people, but he also looked down upon them.
However, these people are begging for him...
Tang Yun, Li Wang, and the surrounding Yanshan guards were all excited.
Guo An raised his hand to Zhu Di and said: "Your Highness, since these people are grateful to Your Highness and the Yanshan guards for saving their lives, Your Highness, please accept it!
If His Highness is worried that these people have no livelihood, I, Prince Yan, can give them some compensation!
The most important thing is that it is difficult for them to walk with these grains, poultry and livestock, and it is also a burden for them to take them back..."
Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded slightly.
"In this case, we will accept it!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, be merciful!"
All the people were overjoyed.
Afterwards, a group of Yanshan guards came forward and collected the grain and poultry and livestock one by one.
A group of common people were also left by Zhu Di to provide them with a lunch.
As for the group of people who had been surrounding the outside to watch the excitement, they dispersed with excitement on their faces.
Thousands of people thanked His Highness the King of Yan and the Yanshan Guards for their life-saving grace. They even saw it with their own eyes, which was another great source of bragging rights.
Naturally.
In less than an hour, this incident spread throughout Beiping City.
And in the palace of King Yan.
Zhu Di looked at Guo An, "How is Guo Qing going to compensate those people?"
Guo An smiled slowly and said, "Your Highness, the houses of those people have been destroyed by the heavy rain. How about I, Prince Yan, build houses for them?"
"good!"
Zhu Di's face was filled with joy. The lives of these thousands of people were saved by soldiers sent by the Yan Palace. They all brought their most precious food, poultry and livestock to repay their kindness.
This kind of people will definitely be the most loyal people in Prince Yan's palace in the future.
Zhu Di was very willing to extend some favors to these people.
Zhu Fu, Tang Yun and others on the side also nodded.
Guo An continued: "Build two cement houses for each of their families!"
"Concrete house?"
Zhu Di, Zhu Fu and others were all shocked.
The cost of a cement house is completely different from the cost of an ordinary thatched house.
"Your Highness, since our Prince Yan's Mansion wants to build houses for those people, only cement houses can be worthy of our efforts!"
"Then build it!"
Zhu Di nodded heavily and said, "I'll leave this matter to Guo Qing!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, you only need to give me enough cement and some craftsmen, and the remaining laborers will be enough for the common people themselves!"
Guo An replied.
Seeing this, Zhu Fu didn't say anything.
Prince Yan’s Mansion is rich!
As long as he is not allowed to take care of these things, just let His Highness King Yan and Guo An do it!
And now, in the several main halls in front of the Yan Palace, the thousands of people were shocked when they saw the cauldron being carried in one by one by the Yanshan Guards.
In those big pots, there were not only a pot full of rice, but also steamed buns, and even a big pot of meat dishes.
The pieces of meat inside are as big as a fist, one next to another.
These common people, who had never seen this battle, their eyes were straightened and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"hiss……"
"His Royal Highness Prince Yan actually waited for such a good meal for me?"
"With so many people waiting for me, how much money will it cost His Highness Prince Yan for one meal?"
On the side, Yanshanwei, who came in carrying a basket of dishes and chopsticks, felt a trace of pride in his eyes when he heard this.
"Everyone, feel free to eat. In this heavy rain, a lot of chickens, ducks, sheep and goats on His Royal Highness's farm have also died. These meats are from those chickens, ducks, sheep and goats. You can eat whatever you want..."
"Such a good meal must be the most sumptuous you can eat in your life. Eat big and don't worry about not having enough!"
"Thank you, General!"
An old man thanked Yanshanwei who spoke, then quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and scooped up some meat dishes for himself.
"No need to be polite!"
The Yanshan Guard just waved his hand casually, then picked up a big bowl and waited beside it.
"This general also eats?"
On the side, the people couldn't help but be shocked.
"It's natural!"
The Yanshanwei smiled softly, "We don't get such a sumptuous meal once a year.
In the past two days, all the guards in Prince Yan's palace have been eating this kind of food! "
"It's the old man who doesn't know what to look at. General, scoop it up first!"
"That's right, some generals will scoop it out first..."
"Don't you dare call me a general anymore, I'm just an ordinary soldier!"
The Yanshanwei shouted humbly, but his movements in his hands were impolite. He directly took the spoon from the old man's hand and scooped it up.
In less than a moment, in the entire hall, a group of common people and more than a dozen Yanshan guards were huddled together, holding large bowls and sitting cross-legged on the ground, slurping away food and meat.
Wait until everyone has finished eating.
Then several Yanshan guards came in and called all the people out.
In the courtyard, there were only Guo An and a few scribes.
"Everyone, I am Shi Guo'an, the right-hand commander of Prince Yan's palace!"
"I've met Guo Changshi!"
"The grassroots people have seen Guo Changshi..."
All the people suddenly saluted with excitement.
Guo An nodded slightly and said: "Dear fellow citizens, His Royal Highness the King of Yan is kind, and you are all good people who know how to repay your kindness.
Therefore, His Highness King Yan decided to help you rebuild your house! "
"His Royal Highness, King Yan, is so kind!"
"Caomin and the others are extremely grateful..."
All the people knelt down with excitement and kowtowed in the direction they recognized.
Guo An continued: "Don't worry, we haven't finished speaking yet."
All the people looked at Guo An again.
Guo An said: "Everyone, His Highness King Yan is going to build cement houses for you and others."
"Concrete house?"
All these common people were full of joy.
“However, there are too many people, and each family only provides materials to build two cement houses.
Moreover, you need to go to the cement workshop or warehouse to move it in person.
In addition, the Yan Palace will send craftsmen to help you build cement houses, but you still need to do the hard work yourself...
I wonder what you think? "
"Thank you, His Highness King Yan, and thank you, Guo Changshi!"
All the people were overjoyed and grateful.
Such a good thing was something they would never have thought of before they came.
When they go back, they must make those ungrateful people who are reluctant to part with the food at home be envious to death.
"If you agree, please leave your name and address. Then, tomorrow and the day after, we will go to the major workshops in Wanping County to pull cement, stone, sand and other materials.
However, there can only be thirty families at a time, and the current number of craftsmen in Prince Yan's Mansion is only enough for thirty families to build houses! "
"Therefore, you all finally decided among yourselves that each time there would be thirty families in one area...
Forget it, which 30 houses each time will be assigned by the clerk after everyone has completed filling in the form, and then I will tell you! "
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
All the people stared at Guo An and the scribes expectantly.
At this moment, these scribes had already skillfully taken out pens and papers and started registering prefectures and counties one by one.
Half an hour later.
More than 400 households have all been registered.
Next, there is the allocation of batches.
However, something happened that made Guo An even more worried.
These people were much more familiar with all the states and counties below than he was.
Many common people formed teams of thirty households according to their nearest distance.
Then, these people also expressed their willingness to go and contribute to the construction of cement houses for the first batch of 30 households.
Guo An naturally had no objection to this.
…
Two days later.
Outside the cement workshop, stone workshop, and sand warehouse of Prince Yan's Mansion, hundreds of people appeared, including old people, young people, and even some old women.
One by one, they were pushing small carts, or pulling donkey carts, or ox carts, coming to load things like cement, stones, and sand!
The vastness aroused the curiosity of everyone along the way.
Guo An, on the other hand, led some craftsmen to select sites for the people's houses, lay solid foundations, and build cement houses.
Less than two days again.
The news spread throughout Beiping Mansion again.
His Royal Highness King Yan has a bodhisattva heart!
Not only did Yanshan Guards be sent to rescue the people whose houses were collapsed by heavy rain, but they also provided them with cement to help them rebuild their houses!
