The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 321: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman

Li Mo's words were not at all modest for Ye Xinran.

Prince Rui was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a woman like Ye Xinran would have some influence there.

While the two were talking, an old man came over.

He looked at King Rui and asked Li Mo, "Is this the official who collects our grain?"

Li Mo quickly introduced him: "Zhang Lizheng, this is our King Rui of Daliang!"

"Oh, it's the prince. I pay my respects to the prince!"

He knelt down as he spoke.

"We are a bunch of rough folks from the countryside, ignorant and undisciplined. Your Majesty, please don't be offended."

When the old man knelt like this, all the people who were delivering food followed suit and knelt down.

King Rui raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please stand up.

What's the rule of kneeling here?

Besides, you are here to deliver food, so I have to thank you."

Li Mo helped the head of the village up, and then the villagers stood up as well.

Everyone was still somewhat at a loss, and King Rui called out to Li Mo:

"Since you are the leader, go and hand over the grain to the accountant now. Once things are done here, take these villagers to find a place to have a good rest."

"This is natural."

Li Mo said, "I just wanted to tell the prince that it's not easy for them to come here. They have come a long way to deliver food, so we have to let them rest before they leave.

I was planning to accompany them around the capital these days and buy some good things to bring back home. I may not have time to go home. I don’t know about Yueting…”

"Are you thinking of Yue Ting now?"

Prince Rui said unhappily: "Since you want to accompany them, then you should accompany them well. Am I afraid that you will run away?"

Li Mo said: "That won't happen."

Li Mo said sincerely.

This time when he returned to Beijing, he had originally planned to go back and see Chen Yueting.

After being away for so long, the resentment I had about being forced into marriage had long since disappeared.

Besides, he has achieved some success now, and when he returns to the Chen family, he will not be as inferior as before.

When he met King Rui this time, he could sense from his conversation that King Rui was not as arrogant to him as he thought.

This made him even more convinced that many of the previous things were just his own imagination.

"After we go back, we must comfort Yue Ting."

He thought to himself.

……

The accountant of the granary checked Li Mo's account one by one, and packed the verified grain into the granary bag by bag.

Later on, there were still ten truckloads of stuff not included in the account. The accountant went over to take a look and was actually moved.

He couldn't help but call out to King Rui and said, "Your Majesty, look, this..."

King Rui had been inspecting the warehouse and listening to his subordinates' reports on the grain income during this period.

Hearing the sound of the accountant, he walked straight over.

Then I saw bags filled with a hodgepodge of potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, chestnuts, etc.

"Li Mo, what's going on?"

King Rui asked.

Zhang Lizheng had been watching from the side, and seeing that Prince Rui looked serious, he thought he was angry, and hurriedly rushed to explain: "This has nothing to do with Li Mo.

This is the wish of our villagers themselves.”

The village head rubbed the corner of his clothes nervously and said, "After all, we are poor and don't have much food at home!

Although the price offered by Manager Li is not low, we still have to eat and save the seeds.

But I dare say that there is not a single household in our village that hides food. Every household has calculated to the bone and taken out all the food they can.

Then some families didn't have enough food, so they took out potatoes, sweet potatoes and other foods that could fill their stomachs.

Although this thing is not as good as food, it can still fill your stomach at a critical moment."

King Rui took a potato out of the bag, lowered his head and said nothing.

After a long while, he raised his head and said, “We need to have enough food when we go out to fight, but there is no reason for us to let the people go hungry.

If you take out everything from home, you will go hungry when you return home."

"That's nothing!" The village head let go of the wrinkled corner of his clothes and said, "We don't work in winter, we just lie at home, why should we eat so much?

Unlike you, you are going to fight on the battlefield, how can you not have enough food to eat!

Fighting on an empty stomach is a disadvantage! "

King Rui felt a little uncomfortable because of the wind blowing in his eyes.

He threw the potatoes back into the bag, raised his hand, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and said to the accountant: "Take all these food as well, and pay them according to the price of polished rice."

"Yes!" The accountant immediately called for people to move things.

The headman waved his hands anxiously, "No, this is not possible. These are gifts for everyone. We are not selling them.

I can’t accept this money.”

King Rui said nothing more and turned to walk into the military camp.

The accountant was so annoyed by the headman's nagging that he looked up and said, "The prince said to give it, so I will give it. Do you dare to contradict the prince?"

The head of the village was so frightened that he immediately stopped talking.

The grain here is being stored in warehouses one after another.

The head of the village was still a little at a loss.

He looked around and unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

At the entrance of the military camp, a pretty girl jumped down from the carriage. The head of the village shouted from a distance: "Xinran, Madam Ye Ye!"

Ye Xinran thought she had heard it wrong at first.

It was not until the head of the village called her four or five times that she reacted.

Turning around and seeing the village head, Ye Xinran was startled: "Uncle village head? Why are you here?"

"Madam Ye, Madam Ye is here!" Everyone behind the head of the village shouted.

Only then did Ye Xinran realize that there were many familiar figures in the convoy.

Erniu, Sanzhu, Zhang Dali...

Everyone looked at Ye Xinran and laughed.

Although Ye Xinran is now dressed beautifully and gorgeously, when she speaks, she becomes the kind and lovely Miss Ye again.

Everyone feels close.

"Ms. Ye, long time no see."

"Is Madam Ye's business doing well in the capital?"

"Is the facial soap selling well? Do people in the capital like it?"

Everyone surrounded Ye Xinran and asked questions one after another.

Ye Xinran was so busy that she couldn't get back.

"Well, everyone wait here for me. I will go to the barracks to arrange things first, and then come out to talk to you in detail."

Ye Xinran said.

She came today to deliver seasonings to the military camp.

I taught them the method of making it yesterday, so today I just need to give them the seasonings and let them make it themselves.

Ye Xinran directed others to move in all the seasonings they brought.

After explaining everything to Zhao Yun, he hurried out.

The food here has been handed over.

The accountant followed King Rui's instructions and paid for the potatoes and pumpkins that the villagers brought.

Zhang Yasuo refused to accept the money at first, but it was only after Li Mo persuaded him that he accepted it.

When Ye Xinran came out, everything was done here. Everyone was finding a place to sit, waiting for Ye Xinran.
