Seeing things calmed down, Liao Tingyu continued:

“What I did was because you have so many people, and considering the court like to withhold military resources, I was so angry and wanted to help you, so I planned to give you this way of making money. I leave the method of making the kang to you. You can take those idle soldiers and carry them to some rich people in the county to earn some pocket money. If you have time, help those villagers to get them too. It doesn’t cost much anyway. It’s just a little bit of soil and a little bit of energy. Those who have money, just take the money, and those who have no money, just think of doing good deeds and accumulate some merit.”

“That’s it.” After hearing this, Zhao Yuan knew what his purpose was, but he didn’t expect it to be so simple.

“Yes, that’s it. After all, who asked me to be the big official of this place.” Liao Tingyu was moved as he spoke. As expected, he was still so kind.

“Okay, then you bring the things and I’ll do it, but it’s best to have someone knowledgeable to check it out.”

“You want someone knowledgeable, there is one right in front of you. This thing is not troublesome, only takes an hour or two, so you let people out first, and we build one here, and you will spend a few winter meetings in your camp, how comfortable it will be.” Liao Tingyu introduced himself.

Soldiers were very capable of action because practice made things perfect, and Liao Tingyu was able to teach them quickly with guidance.

.

After the soil dried, it was already the second day, and before Liao Tingyu came over, Zhao Yuan had people cut the firewood and started burning it inside.

Several old men gathered around this hurdle as if they were looking at beautiful women, exclaiming in wonder: “I didn’t expect this thing to be so magical. It seems that the soldiers will live a good life this year.”

“Yes, yes, why didn’t he come earlier? After the county magistrate comes over to see, we will first go through the military camp one by one, and then divide into several small teams to help the people in the village and county.”

“Yes, that’s it. It’s only autumn anyway. It’s early enough. We have nothing but many strong brothers.”

“My good general, can you stop sitting there all the time and let us sit there too? Get up and come down quickly.”

Zhao Yuan sent dozens of centurions to lead people everywhere. Perhaps it was suppressed by force, the soldiers didn’t say much words, but they insisted on asking people to buy. A rich people must pay a hundred wens and no one dared to say no. The poor didn’t need to pay a penny.

Liao Tingyu met several squires who came to him to complain. After all, it was a good thing, but why did they have to move out the things in the house?

When Huang Zilan heard about it, he called him a fox. He was still an old fox who bullied others.

It was because of this that the fire kang swept Linxian at the speed of the wind.

In late winter, almost every household has a kang.

.

Liao Tingyu randomly checked several villages and found that the poorest families all had one.

The richer ones had several, almost one for each room.

Sure enough, the implementation strength of these soldiers was quite impressive.

Everyone in the village was grateful for Zhao Yuan’s kindness, while Zhao Yuan and the others were sitting around in the tent with a fire kang inside. Several people who fought like tigers and leopards sat together, one by one, counting the money in front of them.

“I didn’t expect that the magistrate is so kind-hearted. We earned several thousand taels just from this trip. General, what do we use this much money for?”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan said matter-of-factly, “Of course, we have to buy some foods. Now that we have money, everyone should have enough to eat. When the next spring comes, we will learn from the county magistrate’s method and open some places suitable for growing vegetables to grow more food. This year there are too few. We can be self-sufficient next year. We no longer have to be angry with those idiots.”

Of course, he didn’t care how the rich people in the county described them. Now he finally knew what Liao Tingyu was thinking, but he was still angry with the court.

He secretly praised: “I really picked the right person. He is a good official for the people. The people of Linxian County are blessed. I will enjoy the blessings. This cheap brother has taken over well.”

Several generals nodded in agreement. Back then, there was no place to grow food, but now according to the county magistrate’s method, each of their soldiers could be allocated at least two acres of land.

Coupled with the supplies from the imperial court and the occasional hunting, it could be expected the future life would be quite good.

.

Liao Tingyu and Huang Zilan were not idle either. They organized people to use oxcarts to carry the food they collected from kind-hearted people, and distributed it to those in need from door to door.

The people in the village looked at the huge group of people and the food on the cart. They didn’t know why at first, but they wanted to grab it.

Some people really tried and a large group of officers and soldiers came to arrest people.

The man with a criminal record was so frightened, he threw himself at Liao Tingyu’s feet, with tears and snot flowing out. He told him that he had changed his ways and how good he was to his family, leaving Liao Tingyu speechless.
