    When the food arrived, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief.

    Xiao Yeyang sent a letter to the border military camp that day, asking Cao Dan to come over tomorrow to collect food.

    After Cao Dan received the letter, he was stunned for a long time, especially when he saw Xiao Yeyang's letter saying that the frontier soldiers must not lose their health and must ensure that every soldier has enough food and that future food and salary will be fully delivered.  Obviously these are what he should do, but he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

    In fact, everyone knows that as long as five or six cents of the army's salary is distributed, it will be a rare and good official. It is enough He has never received it after joining the army for so many years.

    With food, the border troops felt at ease, and so did the refugees outside the city.

    Xiao Yeyang selected a thousand young and strong military households with good physical fitness from the guard station and trained them personally.

    Two days ago, everyone saw that these military households were as tired as dogs every day, and they laughed a lot. But when the food arrived, they saw that they were eating twice as much as they were, and they were extremely jealous.

    The day before the Lantern Festival, when Xiao Yeyang was busy training his troops, Daohua also walked out of the Xiao Mansion.

    It has been almost a month since she came to Ganzhou City. Due to the cold weather and the many things she had to deal with, she has not even taken a good walk around the city.

    Compared with the towns we passed along the way, Ganzhouwei was a little more lively, but the economy was still very sluggish. The shops on the street sold very few types of things and there weren¡¯t many customers.

    Daohua walked around the two main streets and had a pretty good understanding of the situation in the city. Then she said to Yan Shouhou who was following her: "How are you doing inquiring about the shop?"

    Yan Shouhou quickly replied: "Girl, the shops in Ganzhou City are very good, but business here is difficult. Many shops are closed every year. I have chosen a few. The location and size are good. Miss, I want to go take a look today.  ?"

    Daohua nodded. It didn¡¯t snow today, so she wanted to go shopping more.

    The shops Yan Shouhou looked at were all on the main street, and he didn¡¯t walk far. Daohua looked at every shop and finally bought five shops directly.

    "There are two food stalls, one fruit and vegetable store, and two pharmacies. You should seize the time to organize and arrange them."

    As he said that, he paused.

    "The pharmacies and fruit and vegetable stores are not in a hurry, but the food stores need to be sold quickly."

    "At the end of the month or the beginning of February, Qin Xiaoliu should have transported the grain here, and the grain store will have to be opened by then."

    At the turn of late winter and early spring, it was a time of food shortage, and she did not want more refugees to gather outside the city.

    Although she is not short of food, if she keeps giving porridge, she will not be able to bear it for a long time.

    Thinking of the refugees, Daohua glanced in the direction of the city gate: "Let's go, let's go to the city wall and have a look."

    ?¡­

    Outside the city gate of Ganzhou, the number of refugees is approaching 50,000.

    Morning porridge has been served in the porridge shack, and now the refugees are huddled in the hut, sitting next to each other to keep each other warm.

    Daohua stood on the city wall, looking at the trembling refugees in the hut, and felt a little uncomfortable. No matter what time, it was always the people who suffered.

    Since he started giving porridge, Zhang Da almost always stayed at the city gate. He would go to the warehouse every day to count the grain and calculate the remaining grain. As soon as he left the warehouse, he saw the rice flowers standing on the city wall.

    Zhang Da trotted up the city wall, stood two meters away from the rice flowers and saluted: "I have met Mrs. Xiao in my humble position."

    Daohua turned around and looked over: "Are you Mr. Zhang, the porridge cook?"

    Zhang Da didn¡¯t expect Daohua to know about him, so he was a little flattered: ¡°It¡¯s just a humble position.¡±

    Daohua smiled and said: "The matter of donating porridge is of great importance. Master Zhang has worked hard during this period."

    Zhang Da shook his head quickly: "The humble job is just running errands, not hard work. The real hard work is for Mr. Xiao and Madam Xiao. If you hadn't raised so much food, the refugees outside the city would not be able to survive. The humble job once again took the place of the city.  The refugees abroad would like to thank you and your lady for surviving."

    Daohua looked at Zhang Da through the curtain hat. Seeing his sincere words and feeling on his face, he smiled and shook his head: "Master Zhang is serious. Since my husband has taken over the Ganzhou Guard, he will naturally not ignore the refugees outside the city."

    "By the way, it's already halfway through the first month, and it's almost February. The cold winter is about to pass. How have you arranged for the refugees in the past?"

    Zhang Da looked embarrassed: "Madam, in the past, the capacity of the guard station was limited. If there were refugees gathering outside the city, most most of them would be driven away."

    Daohua asked again: ¡°Are these refugees homeless?¡±

    Zhang Da: "Most of them are." He said, paused, "A small part may be because the family is not well."I'm here to eat porridge.  "

    Daohua nodded, looked at the refugees under the city again, and then turned around: "I won't delay Mr. Zhang, let's leave first."

    "Madam, walk slowly!"

    Zhang Da watched Daohua get on the carriage, and then looked away.

    "My lord, is that Madam Xiao's wife?" the officers and soldiers on the city wall asked curiously.

    Zhang Da nodded and said with a smile: "The mutton we eat on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day was sent by Mrs. Xiao."

    Some officers and soldiers said: "She is different from what I imagined. I thought that the family members from the capital would be aloof and look down on others, but the lady felt that she had no airs at all."

    Zhang Da laughed: "Okay, stop gathering around and do your job properly."

    ?¡­

    That evening, Xiao Yeyang came back from training at the guard station. Daohua changed his clothes and asked, "What are you going to do with the refugees outside the city?"

    Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

    Daohua: "I went to take a look at the city wall today."

    Xiao Yeyang rubbed his head and sat down. He was very dissatisfied with Ganzhou Wei Civil Affairs.

    During this period, he secretly got to know all the officials at the guard station and found that most of these officials had little knowledge. Most of them could only recognize a few words and had no management skills at all.

    Ganzhou's defense was weak, and the people of Xiliao were watching eagerly. They didn't know when a war would start, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

    The physical fitness and combat capabilities of the border army officers and guardsmen were not good enough. His focus had to be on troop training and patrolling, and he could not do it himself in such a fast-moving civil affairs field.

    Xiao Yeyang felt deeply that no one was available, but he soon thought of Dong Yuanxuan who was exiled to Xiliang.

    "Because Ganzhou Wei is the closest to Xiliao, it is often harassed by Xiliao people, so the population here has never been large, so I want to keep all those refugees."

    "Resettling refugees is not an easy task. I am also busy with the military, so I have to find someone who can be trusted and has the ability to govern to help me."

    "Yuanxuan is in Xiliang. I want to transfer him here."

    Daohua nodded in agreement: "Brother Dong is very knowledgeable and he was once your study companion. You two are familiar with each other and we will definitely be able to cooperate with you on official matters."

    "In addition, Uncle Dong was the chief envoy of Zhongzhou before, so he is most familiar with the civil affairs. If you encounter problems, you can also ask him for advice."

    Xiao Yeyang nodded: "I think so too."

    Daohua asked: "Which health center are Brother Dong and the others exiled to?"

    Xiao Yeyang: "Jin Weiwei."

    Daohua: ¡°Can you transfer them here?¡±

    Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "The honor of the Jinwei Guard Commander is still going to be given to me." After thinking about it, "You prepare a gift later, and I will give in and go to Jinwei Guard tomorrow."

    Daohua nodded: "Okay." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
