    Wu Yaer raised his head and looked at the city gate upstairs.

    The woman wrapped in a thick cloak at the city gate was made even more petite by a group of men of various ages in official uniforms.

    The attire covering the head and face and the black umbrella held above the head gave a ghostly look to the crowd and the blue sky.

    But the officials around him looked respectful, and the people in front of the city gate were eager, as if they were seeing gods descending to earth.

    Wu Yaer¡¯s wife?

    Someone poked him in the arm. Wu Yaer looked away and looked at him. The men around him were so depressed that their faces turned red.

    When the passers-by told the origin of the immortal, the men were horrified and wanted to shout and ask questions, but Wu Yaer stopped them in time to shut up.

    Passers-by had already passed by, and no one mentioned the identity of the woman on the city gate. It seemed that everyone in the world should know this.

    Everyone cheered to the woman: "Young Madam, Young Madam."

    The noise surged like a surge in front of the city gate.

    Wu Yaer signaled to the men that they could talk.

    "Really? Really?"

    "Is she your wife?"

    "Auntie is still alive? Auntie and the others are still alive!"

    "Crow, crow, crow."

    The men¡¯s questions immediately overwhelmed Wu Ya¡¯er. Those who were too anxious to ask the question simply called Wu Ya¡¯er¡¯s name.

    Wu Ya'er's expression and voice remained calm, and she answered one by one: "I don't know, I haven't seen Que'er. As for whether they are still alive"

    He pursed his thin lips.

    Of course he hoped so emotionally, but his reason told him that the soldiers who were capable of fighting were all dead. How could the two women who had plundered the bandits' den survive?

    "Let's find out more about what's going on."

    Although his heart had already flown to the city wall, he grabbed the woman's shoulders and asked her if she was Que'er?  Ask her how her mother is doing?  Ask her where her mother is.

    Wu Yaer withdrew his gaze and led the men to carry this noisy wave behind them.

    Li Minglou looked down at the city gate.

    The crowds of people, men, women, old and young, looked happy. Some people came from afar after hearing the news, while others retreated far away. They came and went in a lively and lively manner.

    The chief secretary was also looking under the city gate. He was not happy to be cheered by so many people. Of course, it was not because the people welcomed this little girl.

    He raised his hand and wiped his forehead: "Young Madam, there are more people than before."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? These people are almost not from Dou County, their cheers are mixed with their local accents, the chief clerk has been an official for so many years, it is common for beggars and refugees to flee, but this is the first time to see so many of them.

    He felt that all the refugees from Daxia had come to Dou County.

    A prosperous country like Daxia only has so many refugees.

    Li Minglou shook his head: "Not much."

    Dou County is still too small.

    She took a few steps forward, and the people under the city gate were even happier when they saw her coming out. There were old men and children who couldn't help dancing, holding up the unfinished meat porridge in their hands, and shouting and chanting.

    "It's meat porridge, it's meat porridge."

    "In winter, we drink meat porridge."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmb1ft11b99b9b9b9b9b9b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7a17a6b79b79b79b16231323232346631 You won't starve to death if you only eat porridge, but without the smell of meat, you won't be able to maintain your strength. The military camp ensures a supply of meat, and some of the extra bones are given here.

    It was just a bowl of meat porridge. Li Minglou couldn't help but smile. It was great to be happy in such a simple way.

    She turned to speak to Fang Er, who was holding an umbrella next to her. The chief clerk, who was a step behind, saw it. His heart skipped a beat and he rushed forward, but it was still a step too late. Fang Er had already looked under the city gate, and the man's voice was powerful.  Kai: "The young lady invites everyone to drink together."

    There were even louder cheers under the city gate, and some people raised their hands high.

    "Madam, I have wine."

    "Young madam, I have brought you some good wine from the capital."

    "Madam, we have a new wine vat, which is taller and bigger."

    These are the merchants who come from all over the place. There is business everywhere in Dou County, especially Mrs. Wu¡¯s big business.

    Li Minglou didn¡¯t care about these business matters. She only told her what she wanted, and someone else would do it. Fang Er gave instructions to the guards who were following him, and the guards turned and left.

    The chief clerk grabbed Li Minglou's arm, regardless of the difference between men and women. He was old enough to be the young lady's grandfather. The child was ignorant, and the elders had to speak: "Young madam, you can't do this."

    Li Minglou respected his elders very much and asked: "Why?"

    The bookkeeper said: "Buying wine is more expensive than buying food, so it is better to buy more food."

      Li Minglou was relieved: "We also need to buy food, sir, don't worry."

    It was simply difficult to communicate. The chief secretary held on to her and said, "Young Madam, this will attract more people."

    She did it for this. Li Minglou smiled and said nothing.

    "Young Madam." The chief clerk added more strength to his hands and voice, "There are too many people, and Dou County cannot afford to support them."

    This little girl is too rich and has no way to know the horror of refugees and hungry people. You must know that when refugees seek refuge, the government will often drive them away.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Refugees are the source of chaos in a place.

    Li Minglou held the chief clerk's arm, and the little woman's tone was a little changed: "Sir, the county does not support the people, but the people support the city and the country."

    What?  The chief clerk was stunned.

    Li Minglou looked at the happy people under the city gate: "Besides, they don't have to be raised by us. They can support themselves."

    There are a lot of things to do in Dou County now. Merchants gather to guard and move goods, the government builds houses and roads, and the shops and businesses in Dou County are more prosperous than before. Manpower is in short supply, and people are needed to do it.

    Li Minglou¡¯s porridge vat has also recruited many refugees to cook porridge, light fires, watch the vat and maintain order. They don¡¯t have to pay to take care of the food.

    After they have enough food and a house to live in, if they are attacked by bandits in the future, these refugees will sacrifice their lives just to keep a bowl of food and a room.

    "What they paid was nothing compared to what was given to them." Li Minglou said.

    It seems reasonable, but there is something strange about it. The chief bookkeeper thought in a daze, there is always a trace of sadness in prosperity. The little woman turned around when her hand was empty.

    "Let's go to the military camp and have a look." Li Minglou said.

    Fang Er responded, holding an umbrella and leaving with a group of guards surrounding her.

    The chief clerk came back to his senses and put aside the inexplicable sadness. My aunt, please don¡¯t go there. You will be cheered and complimented over there, and you don¡¯t know what to say.

    This rich little girl doesn¡¯t know how expensive firewood and rice are.

    Is there anyone who can take care of her?

    The stupid man who holds an umbrella and can only repeat Mrs. Wu's words is useless. The wooden man who seems to be in charge of everything but actually only speaks the young lady's orders is useless. The crazy guy in the county government who listens to the little girl telling stories every day is useless.  Madam Silly doesn¡¯t even have to think about it.

    Where is her husband?  Doesn't her husband care?  Has anyone sent a message to Wu Ya'er from the Zhenwu Army?

    "Young Madam, Young Madam." The chief secretary hurriedly chased after him, and the officials followed behind him. They were probably used to the Young Madam's generosity, and everyone was numb. Some people were whispering and guessing about the Young Madam.  What will be added to the military camp?

    Only the scheming little official had empty eyes behind him.

    How much does a new wine tank cost, how much manpower is required, and how much food the manpower needs to eat? When the official granary is full, it will be emptied again, and when it is empty, it will be filled again. This seemingly unchanged situation of empty, full, and empty,  How much does it cost?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
