Chapter 576 The eyes of the common people are sharp

The little girl nodded vigorously, as if she understood what Sun Yue said, but her big eyes kept staring at the two pheasants that were being handled by the guards brought by Sun Yue.

"After waiting for a while, the pheasant is cooked, we can have a good meal."

Sun Yue skillfully put some of the food in the bag next to him, washed it with clean water, and then put it in the clay pot on the stove and started cooking.

Since Sun Qian became the county magistrate, Sun Yue has almost never eaten such coarse grains because of the increase in salary. However, she has never forgotten the way and taste of these things, because she knows that it is the things that the nobles would not even look at directly, which supports the lives of the people of the Qin Dynasty and their belief in the Qin Dynasty.

After Sun Yue became the Si Agricultural Supervisor, Ying Gao once told her alone that the significance of the establishment of Si Agricultural Supervisor was not as simple as Ying Gao wanted to improve the status of a woman, but rather that he wanted to take advantage of the characteristics of a woman that was more meticulous than a man to better complete his task for the position of Si Agricultural Supervisor.

Moreover, Ying Gao had already told Sun Yue that the official position of the Si Agriculture Supervisor is definitely much more important than they had imagined before. The most fundamental reason why Ying Gao established the Si Agriculture Supervisor was to consolidate the rule within the Qin Dynasty while expanding outward. To put it bluntly, more people would say that the Qin Dynasty is good and Ying Gao is good, and they can be proud of being a member of the Qin Dynasty.

But this is not something you can say you are good at random. You must first make people feel good about you. So Ying Gao thought of a saying: Food is the most important thing for the people.

Although Ying Gao didn't know who said this first, it was really appropriate. Although he had been operating as fierce as a tiger on the territory and policies of the Qin Dynasty before, it was not until recently that he realized that you had to solve the most basic problem of the Qin Dynasty, that is, to allow as many people as possible to have enough food. If you do this, the people will naturally support you. This is much more effective than the previous package of new policies.

After Ying Gao learned this truth, he also informed Sun Yue of this truth. Due to Sun Yue's special identity and the path he has taken step by step, she understood what Ying Gao wanted to do without any effort. So during this period, regardless of whether Ying Gao was in Xianyang City or not, she was the same as before for her position.

What Ying Gao did to her and her father in the end affected Qianshou? Sun Yue knew it very well.

So when she discovered that this pair of brothers and sisters who were almost struggling on the brink of death, she not only wanted to make them into roles like herself and her father back then. According to Ying Gao's words, this is called setting a benchmark.

With this benchmark, the surrounding officials will do this one after another, and many people like them will be pulled back from the death line of hunger, and their impressions of the Great Qin, the emperor of the Great Qin and the officials of the Great Qin can be fundamentally changed.

Of course, these were unexpected by the guards behind Sun Yue. They thought that Sun Yue was busy here, but no one dared to say it. They followed Sun Yue every day, of course they knew how much Ying Gao favored this young woman.

"No, after it's done, we have to wait until our parents come back before eating."

After listening to Sun Yue's words, the girl leaned on her brother's arms and thought for a long time and said something like this.

As soon as this said, Sun Yue knew that his family should have been right. The knowledge of this era was very closed, but the girl and her brother saw very good character. There was no other reason for their good character, and they must have learned it from their parents.

"There are two in total. One is eaten by you brothers and sisters first. We don't move the other one, and we just put it there waiting for your parents to come back and let them eat it. How about it?"

Seeing that Sun Yue had such a compromise solution, the little girl nodded. At this time, the fragrance had already wafted out of the pot. If Sun Yue had not proposed this plan, she would have really been unable to resist the temptation of the fragrance.

Soon, the food in the chicken and the clay pot was cooked. Although Sun Yue said she was eating with these two children before, she did not prepare any tableware for herself. She found two broken jars from the house, put some of the food and chicken, and took them to the two children, indicating that they could eat it.

Next, Sun Yue fully realized what it means to be hungry. Obviously, they did not taste what the chicken tasted, but poured the thing into their stomachs as quickly as possible, and then looked at the clay pot.

After two or three bowls of food, they had already eaten almost half of the chicken. Only then did they feel a little less hungry, so they began to slowly taste what the chicken tasted.

At this moment, the door was pushed open quickly. Sun Yue turned her head, but saw a couple who seemed not very old but were ragged and thin, appeared in her eyes.

This is obviously the owner of this house, but when they see their appearance, Sun Yue knew that they must have not made any money today.

There is no other reason. They are too weak. If they really have the strength, there are many things that can still be done. But in their current state, if they go to work for others, it will only be a waste of their time. How could anyone give them money?

The two of them walked to their doorstep with their tired bodies. When they were worried about what to do with their two children, they suddenly found that there were several strangers on the roof of their house and didn't know what to do. This made them very anxious. There were no valuable things in the house, but they had two children. Although they didn't know whether they could support these two children in the end, they would not give up if they had some hope.

After hurriedly pushing open the door, they were completely stunned by the scene in front of them. They saw that several people in the room were repairing their already dilapidated house for them.

What shocked them even more was that their children, who were already hungry and dying, were sitting upright on the table, eating something slurpingly. Moreover, the smell of chicken came from the house, which made them think that they were not at their home.

"Dad, mom!"

Just as the couple was stunned, their daughter had almost finished eating, and she ran over with a considerable chicken leg in her hand.

"Where do you eat... come from?"

When they asked this, the couple's voice was already trembling. They never dreamed that their children would eat these things at home. They were happy first, and then they felt a little scared, because they knew the truth that they would not receive any rewards without merit. If they didn't say anything else, they wouldn't know when they could repay the pheasant in their lifetime.

"I gave them all these foods, but they can eat them!"

At this time, the couple realized that the solemn dressed in front of them was definitely not a mortal in their eyes. After hearing this, the two immediately began to kneel down and say words of thanks incessantly.

"I am the Chief of the Jin Agriculture Superintendent of Daqin. This time I came here mainly to understand that your fields have no harvest after planting the seeds we distributed. For the losses this year, the Lord will give you corresponding compensation according to the grain yield in your county, and I will think of some ways for you to ensure that your fields will not be like this in the coming year."

Facing the adults, Sun Yue naturally would not be as gentle as she was to her two children just now. She directly told her purpose and what they could get, naturally to give them temporary peace of mind.

"Your Majesty is really a wise king! I can't plant things in this land in my family. That's not the problem of the seeds distributed by my Qin Dynasty, but the problem of our own fields. Even so, you can still know the suffering of us. We really can't repay you!"

The couple is really very straightforward. Sun Yue has expressed his purpose. They still keep saying that it is a problem with their own homeland, not the problem with the Qin Dynasty. There are not many such good people even in this era.

"You plant your fields well and cultivate your children well. Both men and women can participate in the lectures and all of them can participate in the imperial examinations of Daqin. I and the other four women have become the Chief of the Agricultural Supervisor through the previous imperial examinations of Daqin. If you don't want your children to be the same as you two in more than ten years, that's the only way!"

Sun Yue's words were thoughtful. She didn't know if the couple would listen to him, nor would the little boy and girl become people like her in more than ten years, but she thought she would say what she should say.

Finally, in the thoughtful eyes of the brother and sister and the couple's expression of gratitude, Sun Yue left the dilapidated courtyard, leaving behind a cooked pheasant, half a bag of food and a house that no longer leaked air.

"The color of my Daqin sky is really going to change!"

Looking at Sun Yue's back, the couple knelt on the ground one after another, and tears flowed out of their eyes again, but this time it was tears of happiness.

Three days after Sun Yue and his friends left this village, several major events happened in the county where the village was located.

First of all, the official who was in charge of farming and sericulture was dismissed on the spot by his immediate superior Sun Yue, and was replaced by a young man she brought from Xianyang City. After the official was dismissed, the grain from the county was transported to various villages.

"Dad, mom, it's really like they said before. Someone has sent us food!"

Outside the courtyard where Sun Yue and others were carriages parked at this time, and the carriage was full of food. According to the driver, their family was the most severely affected family in the ten miles and eight villages. According to the rules set by the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the Superintendent of the People's Republic of China, their family could also get the most food. According to the four people in their family, it was food that could not be eaten for two years!

"She really didn't deceive us, our children were saved!"

"Yes, I've found out all the things she said about the imperial examinations and teachings these days. They are all true. Many children in the county are listening to the lectures of great scholars. Although our family is a little far from the county, there is also a small lecture hall in a temple in a neighboring village. Let Xiaohu go tomorrow. When the girl gets older, she will also be sent. If she can participate in the imperial examinations in the future, not to mention that she can work in Xianyang City, even if she can become a minor official in the county, she will be so better than me!"

Sun Yue didn't hear these, but if she really heard these words, she would definitely have a very bright smile on her face.

Sun Yue's behavior is just a microcosm of Ying Gao's order this time. The other four officials in charge of farming and sericulture affairs in almost all the counties of Daqin were doing the same. Cars and ships of grain were sent from the granaries outside Xianyang City to various boundaries, and in the words of the affected people in each boundary were all praising the emperor of Daqin.

Ying Gao's previous series of new policies and new measures were to make people at the level of nobles and the poorest people return to the Qin Dynasty, and this time this policy made people who live at the bottom of the Qin Dynasty and who are very unlucky.

At this point, in addition to offending a small number of the old Qin nobles, Ying Gao was at its peak in the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

However, the old Qin nobles who were offended by Ying Gao can only endure it now. Whether they have the ability to compete with Ying Gao is for now. The cleverness of Ying Gao is that he has not changed the status of any noble at all, but is just using some policies that are the same for everyone to enhance the status of the Qian leader, thus limiting the nobles.

If any nobleman came forward to find trouble at this time, it would really give Ying Gao a reason to attack them. Of course, these old guys who are all smart in this way would not do such things. Ying Gao always believed that his regime was stable and the people's eyes were bright.
