Was your home ransacked on your wedding day?I emptied the Marquis's house and tore my son-in-la

Chapter 379 The village needs poverty alleviation
Shen Ru got busy. When he went to Heishui, he took Cuixi and Wu Ya with him. There were 85 households and 85 copper coins. They would need people to distribute and record them.

Naturally, he had told the village chief beforehand that he would come to the village to distribute money. No, Shen Ru and the others have arrived.The whole village was lined up.

"Fellows, Miss Shen still has an identity now. She is the wife of the governor of Liangzhou." The village chief was very excited. "Mrs. Xiao knew that the people in our village were struggling to make a living, so she wanted to give regular money to every household."

"Village Chief, what you said is not entirely correct." Shen Ru said, "I think not every household in the village is short of this money, but before there was black water in the mountains, I bought the top of the mountain. Everyone takes care of this well, so I give you this money out of gratitude."

"In addition, everyone can rest assured that the black water coming out of my well will not cause any damage to your farmland. And, most importantly, I will not let the black water enter your fields!" Shen Ru shouted loudly. road.

The people guarding this place, that is, the villagers, have to extract the black water every once in a while and transport it to the stone candle workshop.

After Shen Ru spoke, the village chief immediately agreed.

"Okay, everyone, don't rush. The village chief has given me the list of the whole village. Everyone, line up and start collecting money!"

Seeing that the villagers were a little excited, Shen Ru didn't want to say anything more, so he asked Cui Xi and the others to arrange the distribution of money.

It didn’t take long for all the money to be distributed to 85 households.

"Mrs. Xiao, if you don't mind, you can come to my house for lunch. The country people live a simple life, but they grow things at home. Knowing that Mrs. Xiao is here to give out money today, I even asked my mother-in-law to kill a chicken."

"The village chief is so polite, so we have to be more respectful than obey." Shen Ru wanted to build a good relationship with the people in the village. What if he had to dig a hole in the mountain later?
"I really have met a noble person today, please come here." The village chief was very happy and immediately led Shen Ru and others to his home.

Shen Ru and his party are all women, the carriage is driven by Cui Xi, the things are carried by An Qiao and Yaoyao, and Wu Ya has the look of not letting strangers in. Walking in the village, she is undoubtedly the focus of everyone object.

"Mrs. Xiao, the people in our village have been farming for generations. I wonder if Mrs. Xiao has any ideas that can help people in our village have more paths!"

On the way, the village chief took Shen Ruduo around a few times to see the whole village.

"Village Chief, I really want to help, but I can't think of anything right now!" Shen Ru said with a smile, "But I will definitely consider your village first. The people in your village are very good. And if I am there in the future When construction starts on the mountain, people from your village must also be invited to do the work."

"Mrs. Xiao is really... cheerful. Come on, my home is right in front of you!"

There was a low house in front. In the yard, a young man was chopping firewood. When he saw the village chief bringing someone over, he immediately stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands on his body, and came forward to greet him.

"Dad, is this the governor's wife?" When the village chief's son Yao Shugen saw Shen Ru and his group, his eyes were a little erratic, he didn't know who to look at, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"My son Yao Shugen usually farms in the village. My family has three acres of land, which can be considered as enough to support the whole family."

"Mother, Mrs. Xiao is here!" the village chief shouted at the top of his voice.

"Coming, coming!" As the voice came, a middle-aged woman of medium height and dark skin trotted out. When she saw Shen Ru and the others, she was also a little embarrassed, and in the end she just grinned silly.

"Mrs. Xiao, please come in quickly. The place in the countryside is crowded. Old Yao can invite you to my home. I...I am also very surprised. Our chicken is worth killing!"

"Auntie, there's no need to be so polite. Just a simple meal is fine." Shen Ru didn't want them to come and eat everything they could eat for a month.

While serving the dishes, Shen Ru also saw the village chief's daughter-in-law, a young woman who looked simple and shy.At the dinner table, no one else in the village chief's family was at the table. Even the village chief was accompanying him and he didn't use chopsticks much. However, the way he looked at the dishes and swallowed them eagerly made Shen Ru feel embarrassed to eat!

"Village Chief, is it really difficult in the village?" Shen Ru asked simply. Not only the village chief, but also the village chief's son was secretly swallowing his saliva.

"These meals can't be your rations for several days."

"It's not a few days, it's... it's a month." The village chief sighed, "Mrs. Xiao, it's actually what I said. Our village is poor, and what we grow on our three acres of land can only be... eat by yourself."

"I heard that Mrs. Xiao is very capable. Your village can grow cotton that others cannot grow well. Do you think our village can also grow cotton? Or is there any way for us to grow millet? Don’t have so many empty buds.”

Facing the village chief's earnest eyes, Shen Ru couldn't even put down her chopsticks.

"Village chief, your problem is a problem shared by the people of Liangzhou." Shen Ru said patiently, "I don't have much ability. The main thing is that the agricultural officer is good at field seeds and so on."

"The land in your village is quite good for growing rice. Let's do this. I'll ask the agricultural officer to come to your village later to see if your harvest is not good. Is it a problem with the millet or the field?"

"That...that's good." The village chief didn't get the answer he expected, and felt a little disappointed. "Mrs. Xiao, old man, I'm also disturbing you from eating. I'll go to the kitchen first and take a look!"

"Madam, are they very greedy?" An Qiao couldn't help but said, "I'm embarrassed to eat this!"

"No, these chickens are still old hens. I'm afraid they are raised to lay eggs. This is also the wish of the villagers." Shen Ru sighed, "According to the restaurant's calculations, this table will be given some money."

"Okay, Miss." Cui Xi agreed.

"It's better than steamed buns." Wu Ya said this out of nowhere after taking a few bites of wild vegetables and eating chicken.

"Why, who told you to eat steamed buns?" Shen Ru couldn't help but laugh. Wuya was rich, and her career as a killer made her a lot of money.

"Madam, there is something I don't know whether I should talk about or not." An Qiao hesitated, "Aren't you not in the governor's house these days? The small kitchen in our backyard does not open fire."

"I don't know if I forgot, but twice in a row, when we went to the kitchen to serve food at noon, there was nothing left, only steamed buns."

Shen Ru was stunned, this matter...sounded a little weird.

"Madam, you said that the governor's office has always been poor. Maybe that's how economical they are." Cuixi said as an excuse because she didn't want Shen Ru to go back and embarrass the people in the kitchen.

The meal at the village chief's house consisted of nothing more than a pot of chicken soup, tofu, and a few plates of wild vegetables. Could it be that when she was away, the Governor's Mansion could not even reach this standard?Shen Ru frowned.

"When I'm not around, won't Xiao Lang eat?" Shen Ru couldn't help but ask.

"Madam, when you are not here, Mr. Xiao always eats in the study, and the people in the kitchen will send the food there." An Qiao knew how to inquire, "I just feel that they are targeting us."
