After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 769 The Happiest Person in the World

Of course, the old-school aristocratic families were constantly making various small moves during this period.

But overall, things are going pretty well.

Many people also think that it was because the great scholar Gong Liangliao was assassinated in the arena, and although he temporarily escaped danger, he died of "fright", which made some people see the consequences of going against the Holy Queen.

Fearing that he would follow in Gong Liangliao's footsteps, he was so frightened that he dared not utter a word.

In addition, with the brutal murder of Prince Feng, the voice from the Baili family had become so weak that it could hardly be heard.

On New Year's Eve this year, the Empress Dowager's younger sister, Lady Hanguo and General Zhenxi Xu Wenyan, and the Empress Dowager's younger brother, Duke Zhenguo and General Zhenbei Xu Wencong, will both return to Beijing with their families to report on their work.

With the arrival of those unreasonable and reckless men and women from the Xu family, who would dare to say no to the Holy Queen?

Moreover, there have been a lot of unofficial articles circulating in the capital recently about how the emperor and empress made their fortunes.

The article said that the couple originally planned to conquer the country, but the husband abandoned his wife and became king first.

It is said that the world was originally conquered by the Xu family, but was taken away by the Baili family first.

Now that the Baili family is in decline, the Xu family is going to take back the world that rightfully belongs to them.

The common people enjoyed listening to these unofficial writings in the market.

However, some people with ulterior motives sensed a sign of a major change in government.

However, although the political situation is turbulent at the moment, the lives of the people are getting better and better.

The overall structure of Shengguo has always been very solid.

Even though the royal family was fighting among themselves, they still cared about the lives of ordinary people.

Qin Yao likes those in power who care about the lives of ordinary people.

I received a letter from my hometown saying that the grain tax has been reduced this year and has returned to the level of the previous year. Everyone has a few more buckets of grain and is very happy.

After Sheng Kingdom conquered the world, it never engaged in large-scale construction.

It was not until this year, when floods occurred in the south, that efforts were made to reorganize the southern rivers and build reservoirs.

In order to avoid the emergence of corrupt and violent officials, the imperial court specially sent Cui Yushi, who was famous for his integrity, to serve as the water director of the southern rivers.

For the people doing corvée labor, as long as they can do a normal amount of work and eat normal meals, they can be very positive about something like repairing rivers which will benefit future generations.

Seeing the big picture from the small, looking at Wang Jin who has been promoted two levels in Kuanzhengfang and Qi Yushi, his next-door neighbor, Qin Yao feels that the lives of ordinary people are very hopeful.

That's why she doesn't care about the life-and-death struggle among the upper class.

As long as there are people from the Baili family or the Xu family among the final candidates, the people of Sheng Kingdom will still be able to live a good life.

"sister in law?"

Suddenly, a tentative call came from behind.

Qin Yao turned around and saw Lu Xiaofeng, Liu Ji, and Ma Yang standing together with several officials.

Seeing her turn around, Lu Xiaofeng, who had just called her, raised her hands and waved excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, it's really you!"

Liu Ji was also very surprised. He immediately left his younger brother Lu Xiaofeng and his new younger brother Ma Yang and trotted towards Qin Yao.

"Ma'am, why are you here?"

"Someone is lost, so I brought them to the Department of Education and came to see how you are doing." Qin Yao explained.

Liu Ji responded with an "oh", not knowing how much he heard. He squinted his eyes and looked at her and smiled.

He wanted to raise his two hands that hung by his sides to hold her hands, but he was a little afraid and was hesitant, which made Qin Yao frown.

"How are you doing?" Qin Yao walked towards the two people opposite and asked with concern.

Ma Yang greeted him first, then replied: "Thanks to Madam Qin's concern, Lu Yanei has taken people to find my purse." Lu Xiaofeng patted Ma Yang on the shoulder, "Brother Ma, don't worry, when you go out in the future, just introduce your name as my younger brother. If those sneaky hooligans dare to steal your purse again, I will chop off their hands!"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows secretly, the speed was quite fast.

Ma Yang found his purse and was just about to invite Lu Xiaofeng and the other officials who helped him to have a meal at a restaurant to express his gratitude.

Seeing that Qin Yao was also here, it was a good opportunity to call her over together.

Before Qin Yao had the time to refuse, Lu Xiaofeng had already waved her hand and sent the officials away.

Then he said to Ma Yang: "Why thank you? My eldest brother's brothers are my brothers. We should stick together for each other. Why should we drink over such a small matter? Brother Ma, please don't be polite. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. Sister-in-law, don't you agree?"

Qin Yao smiled and nodded when she was suddenly called, "Xiaofeng is right. By the way, you haven't reported to the Department of Education yet, right?"

Liu Ji and Ma Yang shook their heads.

Liu Ji was not in a hurry. "My junior brother said it would not be too late to go after a few days when there are fewer people. Now there are so many people that we have to line up in a long line. It is cold and we are freezing standing there."

Health is the most important thing. It would be a shame if you get frozen and delay the scientific expedition.

Ma Yang's wallet was found and there was nothing else to do, so Lu Xiaofeng prepared to leave.

Liu Ji grabbed the man and said, "Where are you going? Let's go to my house with my eldest brother. Let's have dinner at my house tonight!"

"Really?" Lu Xiaofeng was not polite to him. She glanced at Qin Yao secretly. Seeing that she was smiling and didn't say anything, she put her arm around Liu Ji's shoulders and said, "Okay, okay~"

Qin Yao found it funny and raised her chin forward. "Let's go. Buy whatever you want to eat on the way and ask Awang and Liu Ji to cook it in the evening."

There are more people in the family now, and Awang is the only one cooking for more than a dozen people. Qin Yao is afraid that he will get angry.

But with Liu Ji's help, things would be much better.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Liu Ji in surprise, and the two of them were already counting on their fingers what ingredients to buy.

Ma Yang was much more shy. He followed behind everyone and was too embarrassed to make any requests.

Liu Ji followed him and only cared about Lu Xiaofeng. After all, his younger brother had made a great contribution today.

The four of them walked and walked until they arrived at West Lane.

The entire long street here is densely populated with restaurants and inns. In the eyes of foreign tourists in Kyoto, it is the most cost-effective temporary place to stay.

There were many people passing by here in the past, but definitely not as many as today where it was so crowded that it was crowded to walk.

Because food and accommodation are relatively cheap in West Lane, 90% of the candidates from other places gather here.

These scholars would hold books in their hands while eating or walking, and they didn't care about passers-by at all.

Liu Ji and Lu Xiaofeng pushed people through and finally made a relatively wide path for Qin Yao.

At the end of South Lane, there were at least seventy or eighty people who were planning to "set up camp" in an alley covered by the eaves of two houses.

The alley was about 1.5 meters wide. These people found oilcloth, door panels and other items from somewhere and built a shed using the two walls.

He put a table made of old bricks and a straw mat inside, and a small pot of charcoal fire emitting black smoke, and then he started to read the book.

In winter, this group of people were wearing thin clothes and their shoes and socks were worn out, and it was obvious that they were in financial difficulty.

But as soon as they pick up a book, their eyes light up and they become completely focused.

Qin Yao and the other three stopped unconsciously and stood there for a long time.

Ma Yang lowered his head and touched the purse he had found in his arms, thinking to himself, if he had not been taken in by Qin Yao and his wife last night, he would have had to live in a place like this for the rest of his life, wrapped in thin clothes, until the Spring Examination.

"It's not easy." Liu Ji sighed and looked towards Qin Yao.

There is no harm without comparison. He now feels that he is the happiest man in the world!
