Chapter 304 Donating Food to Fight the War
Bisheng felt that he had aged a dozen years in such a short period of time, and was more exhausted than when he was on the battlefield killing enemies.

He wanted to apply to the emperor to go to the battlefield several times, but seeing how tired the emperor was every day, he really couldn't say it.

How could this person be so stupid?
1+1=5，2+2=8，他都不知道这些人是怎么算出来的。

Even the dumbest Zhang Si couldn't have figured out such an outrageous result!

But what could he do? Those who could run to the battlefield with His Majesty had all run away, and the few of them who were slow were left behind. They could only pray that His Majesty could transfer people from the northwest as soon as possible so that he could escape quickly.

He returned to his room like a wandering soul. Shitou was fixing his clothes and hair in front of the dressing mirror. Bisheng glanced at him indifferently and fell back on his bed.

Shitou laughed out loud and quickly walked out of the door with the textbook on the desk.

He doesn't care whether he goes to the battlefield or teaches. After all, he is just a brick and can be moved wherever he is useful.

……

……

In the northwest, even if Zhao had not received the letter yet, she had already started busying herself with taking people to the capital. Now that Pan Yingying had just ascended the throne, she had to lead the army to resist the Xia Kingdom, so there must not be enough manpower in the capital.

Old Man Pan rushed in from outside, looking aggrieved, "Why can't you let our team ride our bicycles through?"

Zhao glared at him. "Don't you want your old arms and legs? You're so smart to ride a bicycle to the capital!"

Old Man Pan was not convinced. Why couldn't he ride a bicycle to Beijing? They had already arranged a team!

Zhao thought he was unreasonable and pushed him away, "Get out of here! There are so many things to do here!"

Not only does this old man not help, he also causes trouble!

Old man Pan turned around and ran away in anger. He had to tell his fellow riders about it.

As soon as he ran out, Lin Xiao'e came.

When she heard that people would be transferred to the capital, she made preparations early on. Now the county affairs are handled by Xiaotao, the deputy county magistrate.

It is basically the same in other counties. When the county magistrate takes time off, the deputy county magistrate will take over first, and then make arrangements after Daewoo is completely stable.

This time when they go to the capital, they not only have to bring people with them, but also food and fodder, as well as grain from various states and counties that the county magistrate has to bring with him.

Many people in counties and prefectures were so poor that they could not even fill their stomachs. They had to bring food with them and work in exchange for relief to build the county towns.

Zhao said there were many things to do, and it was not a lie.

Lin Xiao'e took out her notebook from her bag and said, "At present, we have prepared 50 kilograms of sweet potato flour, 200 million kilograms of corn flour, and 30 kilograms of black bread..."

Zhao frowned slightly, "It's not enough, let's think of another way."

Lin Xiao'e also felt that it was not enough, but since there was no tax collection in the Northwest now, it was good enough to be able to come up with this much.

"Why don't we organize a fundraiser to see if we can get some more money together?" She thought for a moment and said, "I'll contact the newspaper."

Zhao also thought this method was feasible, so she nodded and said, "Okay, we will set off in five days."

……

……

Early the next morning, fundraising notices were posted on bulletin boards in various counties in Taoyuan City.

Lin Xiao'e originally thought that not much could be gathered, but unexpectedly, every household sent grain to the county government. Some families who didn't have much grain but had some silver also sent silver.

Students who are still in school took to the streets and called on everyone to donate money and food.

"Your Majesty is leading the army in person. We cannot go to the front, so we will help from behind!"

"Your Majesty is so kind that he has not collected any taxes from us in the past few years. He has always been working hard for us. Now it is time for us to repay Your Majesty!"

"..."

Li Niang, with her bulging belly, pushed the cart to the City Lord's Mansion with difficulty.

"There is not much food at home. Here are 20 kilograms of beans for making tofu tomorrow. I want to donate them to Your Majesty."

In the City Lord's Mansion, there are people responsible for registration and some responsible for weighing, and everything is in order.

Li Niang took out another cloth bag from the cart and said, "This is the silver I want to donate. Please count it."

The bag was opened, and inside were copper coins and silver coins, a total of 20 taels. Someone who was queuing up to donate grain recognized her and said with a smile, "Boss Li, you are very generous."

Li Niang smiled shyly, "Since I can't go to the battlefield, I can only help in these places. I hope Your Majesty can take back the land that was taken away by the thieves from Xia Country."

The man gave a thumbs up and said, "Boss Li is very conscious."

"Our Majesty will definitely drive the Xia people out. If we continue to work hard to develop, maybe we can turn Xia into Daewoo in the future!"

As soon as he said this, people around him echoed him.

"That's right, why does Xia Country always bully us? Let's defeat it from now on!"

Lin Xiao'e happened to pass by here. Upon hearing this, she laughed and said, "If we want to conquer Xia Kingdom, we have to plant grain all over the northwest next year!"

Everyone turned around and bowed to her.

The man who first proposed to attack Xia Kingdom raised his voice and said, "Isn't it just about planting food in the entire northwest? Let's plant food in the entire Dayu tomorrow!"

Everyone laughed.

"That's right! Your Majesty has ascended the throne. There is no need to be timid anymore. Let's just roll up our sleeves and do it!"

"Let's plant food all over Dayu tomorrow! Then we can conquer Xia Kingdom!"

Lin Xiao'e left with a smile. She also felt that His Majesty would be able to conquer the Xia Kingdom, and she was waiting for that day.

……

……

Xu family.

As the dark-skinned boy walked in, he almost scared Yan Cuicui so much that she dropped the broom in her hand.

"Where did you come from? Why don't you go to the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xu Yuanzhi: …

He had finally rushed home, traveling day and night, fearing that he would miss the large group heading to the capital. But his mother, whose eyesight was not good at such a young age, actually mistook him for a refugee.

How on earth do I look like a refugee?

"Mother, it's me, Yuanzhi." He answered depressedly and threw the bag he was carrying on the coffee table.

Yan Cuicui opened her mouth wide, "What happened to you? Were you robbed on the road?"

Xu Yuanzhi: …

Well, after not seeing each other for so long, his mother never says a good word.

He rolled his eyes and leaned back on the sofa to rest.

I'm so tired that I don't want to bother with his mother any more.

Yan Cuicui seemed to realize something and slapped her thigh.

This dead kid came back so suddenly, he must have heard that he was going to the capital.

She poured a glass of water for Xu Yuanzhi, then ran out quickly, lifting her skirt.

She had to hurry to the City Lord's Mansion to register her boy. What if she was late and there were not enough people?
As soon as I ran to the City Lord's Mansion, I ran into Xiao Baoping and Jiang Xinran's personal maids. They were also there to register their girls.

Not only did they sign up, but when they came back they also brought back money and supplies collected by the county residents.

When Yan Cuicui saw people delivering supplies, she slapped her thigh again, turned around and ran back.

She had to ask the boy whether he brought back any supplies so that she could report it.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle outside the City Lord's Mansion, as most of the people there were family members of the county governors who had returned from working outside and came to register their own county governor.

While everyone was queuing up, they did not forget to ask each other how much supplies their respective counties would donate.

Yan Cuicui ran back home and saw a list on the coffee table. The skinny boy had fallen asleep on the sofa.

She picked up the list quietly, looked at it, folded it carefully and put it in her arms, then took a thin blanket from the side and covered the person on the sofa. After doing all this, she let out a long sigh and quickly walked out to the City Lord's Mansion.

The first thing her son wanted to donate was 50 kilograms of sweet potato flour, which really made her proud!
