Half a head of cabbage

"With over two million in hand, we can afford to support another hundred thousand or so people in Linbei County."

With money in hand, Fang Weiyan immediately felt more confident.

He immediately waved his hand and expanded his yamen's staff, increasing his number to over a hundred.

Everyone was equipped with the best weapons and bulletproof vests.

In this way, Fang Weiyan's influence began to take shape throughout Linbei County.

Looking at the hundred or so people in front of him, Fang Weiyan was extremely satisfied.

But that's not enough; we need to continue expanding.

According to Fang Weiyan's own idea, it would be best to develop Linbei County into his own territory. If the imperial court or any other forces came and tried to seize his power or territory, he could simply fight back with force.

The territory I've developed myself, I'm not going to give it to anyone else.

Therefore, we need to expand our manpower, and if possible, it would be even better to maintain our own team.

However, there are too few people in Linbei County now, so we still need to recruit people from the nearby villagers or bring in some refugees.

The biggest problem in Linbei County right now is that it has too few people.

Having money in hand definitely makes a difference; Fang Weiyan felt much more confident.

In the backyard of the yamen, there was a pond where Fang Weiyan put two koi carp.

I don't usually bother with them. Every night, I take them to the Daoist temple to help change their luck.

Linbei County.

Fang Weiyan was sitting in the yamen, inquiring whether there were any other villages near Cheng Feng, and whether there were any other people living in those villages.

If so, send someone to persuade them to come to Linbei County.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng immediately accepted the order and went to carry it out.

"We still need to open up the road to Pingshui City Pingshui City. There should be many refugees there. We should bring Pingshui City over and then establish trade between the two places."

"When we have more people, we can train some of them to be our own soldiers, and then exchange some small items for money, which will reduce the cost of training personnel."

Fang Weiyan was still planning his next steps.

In the fishpond behind the government office, the Silver Scale splashed around for a moment before leaving the pond.

She planned to call her brothers over as well.

Anyway, they'll have to face this Human Tribulation sooner or later. If they come earlier and accumulate more merit, they might be able to avoid Human Tribulation on their own.

Moreover, staying with Fang Weiyan significantly speeds up cultivation.

With that thought in mind, Silver Scale naturally dared not delay and wanted to call his brothers over as soon as possible.

To avoid his elder brother suddenly encountering Human Tribulation and being cooked and eaten by those people.

"Recently, it seems that we haven't seen that female ghost at all."

Fang Weiyan arrived outside the yamen and looked into the distance, but did not see the strange figure from before.

I don't know if it was really thanks to the koi fish.

Luck is something that very few people can truly explain.

Putting that matter out of his mind, Fang Weiyan immediately went to the vegetable garden.

It has been more than a month since he arrived in Linbei County.

The planted cabbages look to be growing very well.

Now, we're preparing to harvest some of the cabbages.

The cabbages were piled up one by one, the large, white cabbages forming a wall-like shape, which looked extremely beautiful at first glance.

When Fang Weiyan came to take a look, all the cabbages were pulled into a small cart and then taken to Fang Weiyan's mansion.

"Sir, this is the first batch of cabbages we harvested today."

Uncle Fu delivered the first batch of cabbages to the yamen (government office) and then said something to Fang Weiyan.

Fang Weiyan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "You mean bring them all over?"

If only a portion of it were taken, it would be understandable.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the other party is preparing to bring all the cabbages to their side.

"Of course, the farmers were hired by the adults, the seeds belonged to the adults, and the farmers even received grain from the adults. So, the cabbages harvested from these fields naturally belong to the adults."

Uncle Fu said it as a matter of course.

Fang Weiyan shook his head upon hearing this.

"Distribute these cabbages as disaster relief supplies. Add half a cabbage to each person's regular grain allowance."

Based on the previously distributed grain, Fang Weiyan planned to distribute cabbage as well, so that the people's lives could be improved.

"Grown ups..."

Uncle Fu was stunned when he heard this.

"Do as I command. This is my order."

"Yes, thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu knelt down before Fang Weiyan again, trembling, his face filled with joy and surprise.

From the first day Fang Weiyan arrived here, he knew that this person was kind-hearted, but he never expected that this person could go to this extent.

This shows that as long as this adult can stay here, the people of Linbei County should no longer have to live such a hard life.

This made Uncle Fu very happy.

evening.

The people, returning from their work, flocked to the government office to collect their grain.

According to their respective locations, each person can receive enough food for their entire family.

The people were now each holding a bag made of coarse cloth, watching as the people in front of them received their respective bags of fine rice.

At this moment, they all couldn't help but lick their lips.

Although I've received grain many times before, seeing this pure white rice every day still fills me with an undeniable excitement.

Rice! With this rice, we won't go hungry anymore.

Just as the people were looking at the white rice in front of them, they saw the yamen runners take out large cabbages and hand them to them.

"By order of the lord, from this day forward, each household shall have an extra half a cabbage."

Although it's only half a head, this cabbage is big enough to feed a family for a day.

The cabbage's plump, white appearance, with its green leaves shimmering like jade, makes it incredibly tempting to look at.

The people who received the cabbages stared at the large cabbages in their hands, momentarily stunned.

She was one of the villagers who had worked in the fields before, and she had originally thought that the cabbages that came out were for adults.

When she was working in the fields before, her kids would stare longingly at the cabbages for a long time.

But she scolded them all.

In her view, the adults gave them food and asked them to do some work, so the food that came out naturally belonged to the adults.

How could you possibly covet things belonging to adults?

To their utter surprise, the cabbage was returned to them.

Although it wasn't the whole thing, the weight of this half-head of cabbage felt heavy to her at that moment.
