The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

Chapter 330 New Year’s Eve

Wei Erli worked together with a gentleman from the Nalan family to distribute New Year benefits to the people in the Nameless Royal City.

"Mr. Nalan, you calculated accurately. King Xiaoyao is going to lose so much money this time. Isn't it a big loss?"

Wei Erli ranks second among the eighteen generals of the Wei family in this generation, and he was not originally required to distribute the benefits.

Unfortunately, Bai Jingzhi was impressed by him and asked him to come over to assist.

If for no other reason than to temper him down and stop him from nagging all day long.

The three gentlemen of the Nalan family took turns to cooperate, and only Wei Erli was alone throughout the whole process, with no one replacing him for a while.

Wei Dayong originally wanted to help, but was scolded back by his mother Gu Tinglou.

Before leaving, Gu Tinglou said to Wei Erli earnestly:

"Erli, you have been an orphan since childhood, and you are a member of the Wei family's side branch. Although you have outstanding martial arts skills, you are not given important positions.

This is an opportunity. Bai Jingzhi is the King of Freedom. Whether you can change your fate depends on your future performance."

Wei Erli is an orphan, but he does not have the slightest inferiority complex of an orphan. Instead, he is somewhat independent and unique.

Originally, he was the most powerful among the Wei family's eighteen generals, but was moved to second place by the family master.

No one can control him except Gu Tinglou.

Because of this, the old man of the Wei family only took away sixteen of the eighteen generals and their whereabouts are unknown.

Wei Dayong was not taken away. Instead, he was entrusted with an important task by the head of the family and left with Wei Duan and Wei Yao.

Gu Tinglou took Wei Erli and the remaining guards of the Wei Mansion to the depths of Taiming Mountain.

It was also at that time that he knew that the Wei family did have some ideas. No, to be more precise, the second master of the Wei family, who was a direct descendant of the Wei family, had great ambitions.

That time they were going to destroy all traces, but unfortunately something happened and they didn't deal with it in time.

At this point, it doesn’t matter whether he is plotting a rebellion or not. He has already declared himself king and is standing against the imperial court.

However, the Nameless Royal City was newly built and had no reputation, so it did not attract the attention of other forces.

Wei Erli is just a chatterbox, but he is not stupid, otherwise he would not have been cultivated with all the efforts of the Wei family.

He naturally protects the owner of the house.

Besides, the head of the family may not be in trouble, he just hasn't appeared in public.

He couldn't find any fault with Bai Jingzhi, as he didn't rely entirely on the power of the Wei family.

Even if the Wei family coveted the Nameless Royal City, it would be of no use.

Everyone here has signed the Wordless Book. They are all Bai Jingzhi’s people, including the Wei family members.

Their life and death are in her hands.

The gentleman from the Nalan family did not reply, and Wei Erli thought a lot for a while.

He didn't know where Bai Jingzhi got all the meat from, but he had a feeling that Bai Jingzhi was obviously different from the Wei family.

Bai Jingzhi is not someone the Wei family can control. It is not easy for the Wei family to take advantage of him.

"There are about 4,000 households of these newly joined refugees. The rest of them are eating from a big pot, with more than 20,000 kilograms of meat." The gentleman from the Nalan family was counting on an abacus and was a little surprised after he figured it out.

"King Xiaoyao is really generous and treats his people very well."

After Wei Erli knew about this, he was also silent.

He lowered his head so that others could not see his expression.

"It seems that King Xiaoyao has a lot of face in Tiancang God's sight, otherwise how could so much meat appear out of thin air?"

Mr. Nalan and Wei Erli didn't say much and went back to their work.

Wei Erli was responsible for distributing the meat, and Mr. Nalan was responsible for recording the receipt of the meat by each household.

The new household registration booklet launched by King Xiaoyao was praised by people in the Nameless King City.

This household registration book is different from previous household registration documents. It records each family member clearly, with one page for each person.

What is even more amazing is that the household registration booklet is not afraid of water. The writing on it will not blur and become unclear when it gets wet.

It is said that a special material is used to protect the paper of the household registration book.

In short, the new household registration booklet is much more convenient than the previous household registration documents.

They were busy until the evening before they distributed the so-called benefits.

These people don’t understand what “welfare” means.

They knew that they had worked hard these days, and they were paid and had food to eat, and that this was a special reward from King Xiaoyao at the end of the year.

In the hearts of these common people, their reverence for King Xiaoyao reached a new level.

Bai Jingzhi could naturally feel that her merit value was increasing rapidly.

The debt of merit that was owed before is also slowly decreasing, but the changes are not that much.

The first change that occurred was when she took out the cotton.

She also took out the drawings of a textile machine. Uncle Bai couldn't let it go after seeing it. He built a textile machine based on the size of the drawings, one-to-one.

The people of the Nameless Royal City wore cotton-padded jackets mixed with reed wool and covered themselves with mixed quilts. No one died from the cold.

The merits distributed this time amount to two hundred thousand.

Also, since the beginning of the New Year, her merit points have been increasing every day.

Especially on New Year's Eve, there were two waves of surges.

Bai Jingzhi naturally had some guesses.

The Princess of Yan made a golden statue of the Goddess of the Sea based on her portrait, and there are more sacrificial activities in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.

It is not uncommon for believers to offer incense to the Goddess of the Sea.

New Year's Eve is the day when their Nameless King City distributes welfare, and this day is also much longer.

At this moment, her merit debt is exactly negative 60 million, which is equal to what she borrowed from the system a few days ago. Next, she just needs to pay off the debt owed to Tianhe.

There were still fireworks in the warehouse in Guiyuantianju, so Bai Zhao asked someone to take some out.

"This year is the first time our family celebrates New Year's Eve in the Nameless King City, so there must be some sense of ceremony."

After their mansion was built, the Bai family moved in together.

Other outsiders included Yu Erniang and her servants, as well as Bai Yuchan. The Zhou family built a separate house and did not live with them to avoid embarrassment.

The New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by Xiao Wang. There was a rich variety of dishes, including fish, shrimp, pork, beef, mutton, not to mention chicken and duck.

"This... this is too... extravagant. Does the eldest brother's wife have so many dishes?"

When Old Mrs. Bai saw the exquisite food on the table, she was a little shocked.

Xiao Wang’s cooking is really delicious. I have never seen her cook so many different dishes in the past years. She can cook the same kind of meat in several different ways.

"Mom, please don't flatter me. This was all taught by my third brother's wife. You don't even know my family background. How can our Wang family have so many recipes?"

Little Wang is much more forthright than before, and becomes more and more natural in front of Old Lady Bai.

"Okay, let's stop talking and take a seat everyone." Bai Zhao started to make arrangements.

"Wait a minute, even though this is a family dinner, we still have to follow the rules of etiquette. Sister Jingzhi, you and the old lady should be the first..."

Bai Yuchan's family was considered one of the aristocratic families in the capital, and she knew a lot about etiquette.

Since Bai Jingzhi is now the King of Freedom, the proper etiquette cannot be vague.

"No need to be so serious..." Before Bai Zhao could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Old Lady Bai.

"Yes, that's right. Don't think that Jingzhi is your relative and take it lightly."

With her coming forward, the Bai family did not object, and even felt that it was reasonable.

This family dinner was filled with joy and happiness.
