Chapter 150

In the dead of winter, there were actually people outside Guanglingcheng widening the river channels and repairing the city walls!

"Under Lin Ziyuan's governance, it seems it is not as the rumors say, being kind to the people!"

Engaging in such labor in this kind of weather, even Chen Deng, upon seeing it, could not help but feel a trace of sympathy for the people of Guangling Commandery!

Subsequently, slowly approaching, he found a laborer who was widening the river channel and asked!

· ······Seeking flowers·· ·

"May I ask, how much are you paid daily for widening this river channel?"

In Chen Deng's view, in the dead of winter, widening the river channel, Lin Yang should give a little money!

But the next moment, the answer from the laborer's mouth left him stunned!

"How much money? We don't have any money; it's all for free!"

"What? No money?"

Hearing that there wasn't a single cent, Chen Deng was shocked!

Working like this, and there isn't even a single cent; is this forced labor!

Only after some questioning did he learn that these people were all villagers from around Guanglingcheng!

"Abominable, simply abominable; the people under his command work like this, is this how Lin Ziyuan treats the people?"

He couldn't help but curse, and Chen Deng only felt that he had misjudged the person!

A group of villagers, carrying the cold, widening the river channel and repairing the city walls here, and there isn't even a single cent!

Is this a good Grand Administrator?

This is not forced labor!

"Hey, what's wrong with you? I answered your question properly, and you actually insulted Magistrate Lin!"

Chen Deng was getting angry, and the laborer off to the side was also angry!

The person before him actually cursed Magistrate Lin as abominable!

How could he tolerate this!

"Fellow villagers, this person is insulting Magistrate Lin!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the villagers all around were attracted and looked over with angry eyes!

"Who, who is insulting Magistrate Lin!"

"Magistrate Lin is such a good Grand Administrator, we absolutely cannot allow others to insult him!"

"That's right, insulting the Magistrate, today no matter what, we must teach him a lesson!"

"Who is it, is it this scholar!"

"......"

For a moment, a crowd of laborers surrounded him, with the posture of wanting to tear Chen Deng apart!

0 0....

This left Chen Deng completely confused!

"No, fellow villagers, you are helping to widen the river channel, and this Lin Yang hasn't given you a single cent, yet you are still speaking up for him?"

At this moment, Chen Deng was truly confused!

Are these people crazy!

Working for free for someone, and still defending the other party?

"Kid, I can tell you're an outsider!"

An old man who looked to be fifty years old said to Chen Deng, and then explained!

"Although Magistrate Lin didn't give us money, we have three meals to eat every day while helping to widen the river channel!"

As the old man spoke, the people around all nodded!

Although Lin Yang didn't have money, he provided them with three meals a day!

Hearing such an answer, Chen Deng could not help but furrow his brows slightly!

Just for three meals a day, is it worth it?

"Food is being served!"

Just at this moment, accompanied by shouts and the sound of gongs, the next moment, several large vats were carried over and placed before everyone!

Hearing that food was being served, the laborers all hurried over, fearing that if they were late, it would be gone!

Chen Deng, with doubts in his heart, could not help but lean in!

The next moment, Chen Deng was completely stunned!

"Come, come, come, one bowl of white porridge, one white flour steamed bun, one egg, one meat sausage for everyone; don't fight over it!"

The soldiers serving the food shouted, and then Chen Deng saw the food the laborers were talking about!

Hiss!

That thick white porridge, and the white flour steamed bun!

And the egg, the meat sausage, is this actually their food?

His own Chen family, a Xuzhou noble family, only has two eggs a day!

The food these people are eating is almost catching up to their noble family!

"Alright, don't hide it; the Magistrate sees that you are working hard, so today, before leaving, everyone can take an egg home!"

The next moment, the soldier distributing the food shouted, and Chen Deng's expression was instantly stunned!

Alright!

Now the food for this group of people is about the same as his Chen family!

Although there is less meat!

But for ordinary people to have two eggs a day, this is simply a fantasy!

No wonder this group of people came to work even without wages!

One bowl of white porridge, one white flour steamed bun, one egg, one meat sausage!

This food!

Ordinary people with money might not even be able to buy it!

"Master, the food they are eating!"

The servant off to the side was drooling!

The food they are eating is better than the servants of the Chen family!

"Alright, let's go!"

Saying this, Chen Deng finally understood!

Why this group of people in Guangling Commandery respected Lin Yang so much!

With this kind of food treatment!

Whoever it was, they would also swear to protect Lin Yang to the death!

At this moment, Chen Deng's gaze, looking at Guanglingcheng before him, became even more expectant!

With such people!

For Lin Yang to want to occupy Xuzhou, it is simply as easy as turning over his hand!

Guanglingcheng, Commandery Governor's mansion

"My lord, the arrangement for the people to reclaim wasteland is already underway; will we continue to plant Lianjing No. 11 then?"

At this moment, Cheng Yu, saying this tongue-twisting rice name, felt slightly helpless!

He really wanted to know where the lord got these rice seeds!

"Continue planting, increase the effort!"

Lin Yang, sitting above, nodded firmly at this moment!

He wants to plant these rice seeds throughout the entire Guangling Commandery!

In this way, the goal of everyone having enough to eat can be achieved!

"My lord, urgent report, the Xuzhou troops have movements!!"
