Chapter 435

Qingyun, in addition to carving out the Heroes' Monument every day, took the time to walk around the city wall in the afternoon to check on the progress. When he returned to the county government office and saw bags of flour being brought out from the kitchen, his heart trembled.

She has tens of thousands of mouths to eat, but even if she has mountains of gold and silver, she won’t be able to eat enough!

"Brother, why are you here? Have you finished carving the hero monument?"

Qingtian's sharp-eyed kid was busy working in the kitchen, and he could still see Qingyun's people. The little guy put down the dishes and ran over.

The little guy also knows how to care about Qingyun's work.

"No, it's still a little worse. Qingtian, I want to ask you something, how many bags of grain did you use to steam the steamed buns this day?"

Qingtian's child reported the number, and Qingyun's heart was filled with tears.

"Brother, why are you asking this? Doesn't the Yamen have enough food?"

As for everything related to his business, Qingtian's kid seemed to have an enlightened mind, and everything was clear to him.

"If it's nothing, I'll just ask you. Don't stay in the kitchen all day long. Don't let it fall behind when you read, practice calligraphy, and practice martial arts." After saying this, Qingyun had a straight face.

"I came here after I finished reading, writing, and practicing martial arts. Brother, don't worry! I have to watch the fire, and I won't tell you anymore."

Qingtian's child had a headache as soon as he listened to the reading, and he didn't want to say anything to Qingyun.

Qingyun pouted, pretending that she didn't know his little thoughts! He turned around and left the kitchen and went to the lobby.

"Chun'an, I just went to the kitchen to see. They use so much food for two meals a day. The city wall won't be finished in a few months. Even if I have a mountain of food, it won't be enough for them!"

Qingyun grabbed the teapot on the table and filled half of it before quenching his thirst.

"How much food do we have?"

"It's all here, see for yourself."

Du Chun'an took out the registration book specially used to register grains, handed it to Qingyun, and said: "Before coming back, I asked Daliang to take people outside to buy grains. There are more rice and white flour, so there is no need to buy them. Try to buy some whole grains and mix them with them.

Eat it with white noodles, I've been eating it like this these past few days, it's okay."

Aunt Li is a good cook, but I don’t know how she made it. Half white flour and half whole grains, the steamed buns she made were all white flour.

Qingyun glanced at the food on the tent, put it down with a smile, nodded in the distance, and said with satisfaction: "Chun'an, I am really my good general, abducting you here is the wisest thing I have done.

,Ha ha!"

The food problem was solved, and there were no worries. Qingyun patted him on the shoulder, left the lobby, and continued to carve out her hero monument.

………………

In addition to the refugees, the county government accepted all the villages that had come over after hearing the news and joined the army building the city wall.

Not long after, many villagers in Qishan heard the news that the county government was eating white flour steamed buns and getting wages, which attracted more people's hearts.

There was no work left in the fields, and some weeding work could be done by the elderly and children. The young and strong men told their families and they all flocked to the county government office.

The army building the city wall grew stronger.

Qingyun had finished carving the name, but it was less than one-tenth of the monument of heroes. It only occupied a little bit, and the bottom part was completely empty.

Qingyun hopes that during her lifetime, she will try not to engrave on the blank space below.

When no one was paying attention, Qingyun carried the hero monument back to his house and placed it there. When the county seat was built, he took it out and placed it there.

Qishan County is too remote, and the people were exploited by bandits until they were stripped of their skins. They couldn't even buy anything if they wanted to. It was too difficult to eat some meat, and it was unrealistic to buy meat outside. Maggots started to form on the way.

Building a city wall is a heavy job, including cutting mountains and cutting rocks. Even if you eat steamed buns every day without eating meat, you won't have the strength if you don't eat meat.

"Chun'an, I'll take a few people to the mountains and come back in four or five days."

Qingyun wanted to take some of his brothers into the mountains for hunting. There were few hunters in the mountains and there were a lot of game in the woods.

The two of them came up with the idea that it doesn't matter if they don't eat meat for a day or two, but it doesn't matter if they don't eat meat for a few months.

"Okay, go early and come back early. Pay attention to safety. I'm a humble supervisor of the city wall house. There won't be any problems." Du Chun'an didn't want to stop him, but he couldn't. The county magistrate was followed by Captain Bai and others, so he had nothing to worry about.

The county government didn't have many people, so Qingyun didn't take any more and took four or five brothers with him.

.....................

Qingyun and the others went into the mountains for a few days and met a herd of wild sheep and bison by a lake in a valley. Qingyun and the others hunted two cattle and dozens of wild sheep and returned with a full harvest.

Since there were not enough manpower, Qingyun called her guards out to carry the prey.

When the county police officer was patrolling the mountainside, he saw them dragging their prey out of the mountain with difficulty, and ran over to help them.

Bai Yi and Bai Er were carrying a bison. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought that two cows had barged in. Bai Shaojie was dragging a trailer made of tree branch vines on his shoulders, with several sheep piled on top.

There seems to be a lot of prey, but for a population of tens of thousands, there is not enough for one person to eat meat and get some meat flavor.

The prey was left to Aunt Li and the others to handle.

Du Chun'an was supervising the work on the other side of the city wall. When he heard that Qingyun and the others were back, he told the policeman next to him some things and returned to the Yamen. When he saw the prey on the floor outside the kitchen, he said to Qingyun: "Have you encountered a herd of cattle or sheep?"

"We accidentally entered a valley. There is a lake in the valley. It is estimated that no one has ever set foot on it. There are a lot of prey. We are short of manpower this time. We will go next time when we are ready."

Qingyun regretfully said that she did not expect to encounter so many prey this time. For those who are greedy for meat, seeing meat is more exciting than hunting a tiger.

Seeing the meat slipping away from the mouth, the distressing feeling, whoever feels pain knows it.

.............

In just a few days, the refugees mingled with the people in the county, and they became like a family. They chatted while working, one told interesting stories about the escape, and the other talked about things in the county, and the two sides inquired about everything.

Qingyun's great achievements in suppressing bandits were inadvertently spread among the people among the refugees.

Who didn’t have a dream when they were young? Who didn’t have a bloody mind when they dreamed?

"The person who gave us the seal in the lobby is the county magistrate? The county magistrate looks so weak, how can he still go to suppress the bandits?"

"Could he be mistaken? Can he lift a chicken?"

Most young people and men don't believe it.

When they settled in, they didn't dare to look up. Who dared to look up at those menacing police officers standing there in the lobby!

"I've never heard that people should not be judged by their appearance. Our county magistrate is like this. Oh, you haven't seen that. You will understand when you see it in the future." Although the bragging commoner has never seen it, he has heard of it.

!I can imagine the majesty of the county magistrate killing everyone.

"Hey, look, someone is here! Good guy, so many things, I don't know where they came from."

The people who were building the city wall saw a convoy escorting things over, and they all stretched their heads to look over.

When officers and soldiers patrolling nearby saw someone coming, a small group of officers and soldiers ran over.

The people who were building the city wall found that the officers and soldiers seemed to know the group of people, and both sides were smiling. Then the officers and soldiers led them into the city.
