Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 686 Prosperity
After living in the General's Mansion for a few days, Qiao Yun became familiar with the affairs inside and outside the mansion, and gradually everything went smoothly, and she was not as busy as before.However, although the affairs in the mansion were handled similarly, the wives of the various mansions in the prefecture city sent invitations again at this time, and Qiao Yun couldn't help but see these people again.

Busy and busy, time flies very fast. In a blink of an eye, July has passed and August has arrived, and it seems that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.This is the first Mid-autumn festival that Qiaoyun spends together after marrying Chu Ruifeng. Naturally, Qiaoyun has to put in more thought and prepare well.

Chu Ruifeng has also been busy recently. Although the rebel army has occupied many places near Luzhou City, they are still not stable after all.Therefore, Chu Ruifeng did not rush to attack other states and counties, but made great efforts to rectify the government affairs and get rid of all the shortcomings of the previous Daliao management.On the premise of ensuring the development of the rebel army, strive to develop the people's livelihood, so that the people will have enough food and clothing first.

A series of new policies have been promulgated. Although they are very beneficial to the people, they also need real supervision.Most of the officials in the government office were left over from the management of Daliao. Chu Ruifeng couldn't find so many suitable replacements for a while, so he could only order people to watch more.

As long as it is found out which officials are negligent in their duties and have poor conduct in private, they will all be removed from use, and those officials who work hard and have a good reputation among the people will be promoted as much as possible to do things.At the same time, Chu Ruifeng also sent people to inquire around, recruit talents, and recruit all available people.

At the time of the autumn harvest, as soon as the new decree was promulgated, it really won the love of the nearby people.Now that the tax is much less than before, the common people don't have to work hard for a year and end up empty-handed, so they are naturally very happy.Therefore, at this time, in the fields, you can see smiling people working. People are talking about this new general, and they all praise General Chu for caring for the people so much.

People's livelihood is stable, and people's hearts are stable. Those people who had been worried about chaos after the rebels occupied Luzhou were completely relieved at this time.There are also many common people who heard that the rebel army recruited a large number of soldiers, and they even encouraged the young and strong at home to join the rebel army after the autumn harvest.

For a time, the reputation of Luzhou Rebels spread far and wide.Those people who are far away, not within the scope of Luzhou, and still guarding the rule of the Daliao to exploit and live in hardship, after hearing the news, they also came to seek refuge.

If someone came to join him, Chu Ruifeng would naturally not turn him away.So a special person was sent to take over these young and strong men who came to seek refuge, recruit them into the army, and train them together.The most important thing in marching and fighting is to work hard, so the training of the rebel army is still very strict.Chu Ruifeng made people pay attention at all times, and selected some available talents to train individually, striving to cultivate a team of elite soldiers.

The new decree was implemented fairly well. Although all the new grain hadn't been harvested yet, and this year's autumn tax hadn't yet started to be collected, Luzhou and Wuwei were both happily and thriving.This made Chu Ruifeng very happy. Only when they established a firm foothold here and walked steadily step by step, could they go further.Otherwise, no matter how many territories there are, it will be useless, and the people will not sincerely submit to it. Once the war starts, everything will be nothing more than a dream.

Most of the crops in Luzhou are harvested twice a year, so it is more important to grab the time for farming.With the progress of the autumn harvest, every household is very busy. Some people have less labor and cannot do their jobs. They cannot help worrying about the impact of the weather, which will delay the next crop.

Knowing about these situations, Chu Ruifeng simply sent the soldiers out in batches to help with the autumn harvest.This move won the support of the people even more, and for a while, the reputation of the rebel army was even higher.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this was also the first Mid-Autumn Festival after Chu Ruifeng occupied Luzhou.This year is not bad, the weather is good, there are good news from Wuwei and Luzhou, the food production is good, and the people should be able to live a stable life this year.

Chu Ruifeng was very happy, so he decided to hold a banquet in the General's Mansion on the Mid-Autumn Festival to entertain the officials and others of the government office, and also took this opportunity to win people's hearts.After all, they are still the main force in managing Fucheng, no matter how capable Chu Ruifeng is alone, he can't do everything by himself.The most important thing for a superior is not how capable he is, but the ability to make the subordinates work hard. This is the most important thing.

For this banquet, Chu Ruifeng specifically made it clear that he would bring his family with him.The meaning of this is obviously obvious, just want Qiaoyun to meet and get in touch with these officials' family members.In many cases, the power of women cannot be ignored. With Qiaoyun's intelligence and ability, it should be easy to subdue the wives of these officials and let them contribute their own efforts to the development of Luzhou City.

Sure enough, the banquet that night was very lively. The banquet was divided into two parts for men and women, with singing, dancing and juggling operas arranged respectively.With Qiao Yun's meticulous preparation, it goes without saying that the food and drink are all very satisfied.

A group of wives who had seen Qiaoyun before, and some who hadn't, gathered together at this moment, and they all felt that it was very novel and lively.Naturally, they would not say anything too serious on such an occasion. The big guys chatted and laughed, chatting while listening to the music, just taking this opportunity to draw in each other's feelings.

Qiaoyun also took this opportunity to observe everyone who attended the banquet, and related the future people with some relevant information she had inquired before, so as to have a general understanding of the family members of the officials in the government office.

Now that Luzhou is thriving under Chu Ruifeng's governance, the wives of the officials also understand that this is the time to build a good relationship with the General's Mansion.Therefore, everyone's attitude towards Qiaoyun is very respectful, but no one dares to show Qiaoyun face.

The banquet lasted until very late, and then it ended, and Qiao Yun was really tired waiting to send those people away.So when she returned to her residence, Qiaoyun lay down on the kang outside and didn't want to get up.

"But tired? It's hard for you, you never liked such occasions before." Chu Ruifeng came in from the outside, seeing Qiaoyun like this, couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and hurried forward, stretched out his hand to rub Qiaoyun Shoulders and back etc.

Qiaoyun was really tired and flustered. At this kind of banquet, she had to sit upright and always smile. To be honest, after one night, she felt that the flesh on her face was stiff.However, there is no way to do this. Now that they are in this position, they have to face it.

"Oh, it's so comfortable. If you rub it for me again, you still have the strength in your hands. After rubbing it a few times like this, I feel much better." Qiaoyun lay there, enjoying Chu Ruifeng's service to the fullest.

Chu Ruifeng leaned over and whispered in Qiaoyun's ear, "Why don't we go to bed and I'll rub it for you?"
