Chapter 139 Harvest and Housing
Outside Huaxia City, there are green and green everywhere, all of which are crops from Huaxia City. All the fertile land has been reclaimed and planted crops, and the fields are full of farmers working.
When Qingcang's army arrived at the city gate, many people stood spontaneously, including some farmers carrying loads, and there were a lot of them. The loads were full of fresh vegetables, which had never been before. Everyone had a smile on their faces, which was a joy of harvest.
"Look, it's the city lord!"
Qing Cang did not become king, so he was called the city lord by people.
"The Chinese Legion returned in triumph!"
The news spread quickly.
People discovered Qing Cang and his army from afar. He rode a horse at the front of the team, and behind him were three commanders. Each of them was full of spirit and extraordinary momentum.
People's eyes were attracted by them. Some people had never seen Qing Cang's true face. People were curious about his appearance.
At this time, a little rubbish began to discuss: "It turns out that the city lord looks like this. I think the city lord looks like an emperor."
"What an enlightened city lord, our days have become better because of his arrival."
This person's eyes were filled with gratitude, which was thankful from the bottom of his heart.
"No, as long as you are willing to work, you will never starve to death. Unlike before, planting is not only for yourself, but also for the Han Dynasty. If you encounter the Great Wilderness Year and you don't have enough food to fill your stomach, where can you pay taxes? Life will go back more and more. Now it's better, everything will develop in a good direction."
There are constant discussions.
"That's right, our family finally had a full meal and had meat during this period."
In the era of war, ordinary farmers want to eat meat, which is a luxury. Unless they join the army, they are a soldier and exchange their lives for food, because once a war starts, they may die at any time.
Someone suggested: "Let's welcome the city lord, hoping that he can rule forever, so that we farmers will be blessed."
When Qingcang walked outside the city gate, he saw these people put down their burdens and saluted attention.
"stop!"
The army stopped, he got off his horse and walked to the group of people. He was so scared that the people fell to their knees, thinking that they had made some mistakes, Qing Cang walked to them.
"Master Lord!"
"Relax, don't be nervous, get up, I'm just asking you a few questions."
He said this, and everyone was relieved, and it turned out that they were just asking questions.
After a little while, someone dared to get up. They looked at me and I looked at you. I don’t know what questions this arrogant city lord wanted to ask. They were all a little flattered.
"Sir, what questions do you want to ask?"
There was a brave man who asked tremblingly.
"How are you harvesting now? I see that the vegetables on your load are growing well. Which water is the vegetable?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the city lord was concerned about this, and his favorability for him increased again.
"Go back to the city lord, this is the second water vegetable. We just collected it a few days ago, and it was your army who helped me take it away. I got a hang of money for this. I am really grateful to the city lord for creating such an excellent environment for us."
The first person to reply was a little proud.
"Yes, these days there are some vegetables. After a while, the potatoes will soon mature in large quantities. At that time, our food rations will be settled."
Potatoes can be used as staple food instead of wheat. Before the wheat is ripe, you can also use potatoes as food.
"Yes, right, and wheat, which I just sowed a few days ago. I hope there will be a good harvest this year."
...
People unanimously praised it and talked in a verbal way, which made Qing Cang feel dizzy.
But there was an unsociable voice among the crowd. What he said was not a praise of merit. It was a middle-aged man. His accent didn't look like a person in Huaxia City. His clothes were a bit dirty, but they were not beggars. He said:
"Sir, I want to give you a question."
Someone in this crowd knew this man.
"Ma Neng! The city lord has regulations. Anyone with problems must go to the main city and record feedback. If you are overstepping your authority, you may apologize quickly!"
Qing Cang set up a reporter in the main city to record people's thoughts about the city or unfair situations, and they can provide feedback. Some people will choose for Qing Cang to deal with.
"Mr. City Lord, I know that I am a bit abrupt in doing this, but when something is urgent, I can't wait to record this matter. When this matter comes to you, it will be one or two months or one or two years."
Ma Neng said right. Humans are not machines. Everything comes first and then comes, and solves problems in order. Moreover, Qing Cang is just one person, and what he has to face is a city of hundreds of thousands of people.
"You tell me, as long as I'm paying attention, I'll solve it for you."
People exclaimed, it turned out that the city lord had no airs at all, that was amazing, and the officials were all arrogant, but the city lord was very unusual.
"real?"
Ma Neng doesn’t plan to solve the problem, he just wants a channel for feedback.
"Yes, let's talk, what's the problem."
"That's right. I came here a month ago. I heard that as long as the land was opened, I would have money to get it. When I came here, I only brought a small amount of money. I didn't expect that the population has increased a lot in the past month, and I still don't even have a place to live. I had to lay a straw mat on the street to lead the company."
Qing Cang did not consider that the exploding population growth brought about and the problem of housing, which was urgently needed to be solved. There must be many people like Ma Neng. They don’t have the money to build houses, and even if they have money, there are not enough craftsmen in the city. It will be about half a year later, or more.
The horse can start, which resonated with a lot of people. More and more people said that this problem will not take place in a day or two, and I hope Qingcang can help solve it.
Qing Cang thought for a while. This problem is indeed very troublesome, but this problem must be solved now to give people justice.
"Ma can't do it, don't worry. I'll solve this for you here today."
The horse can kneel down on the ground with a plop, his eyes are red, and the same is true for others. What is people's livelihood, clothing, food, housing, and transportation? These four points can best reflect people's livelihood. He has solved three of these four things, and he will live there. If he can solve them perfectly, stabilizing the people's hearts is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can make people more motivated to create more value.
"You all get up. I'll let the army go into the city to rest first, and you will go into the main city with me. The problem will be solved in the main city."
Then Qing Cang said, "Come, take these people to the main city later."
"yes!"
