Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 394: Hard Work Pays Off

Whenever the wedding procession passed by, the people working in the fields would often burst into cheers and blessings.

More than half a year of peace and prosperity, and the food that will soon arrive at their homes, make these people happy and cherish them!

The countless tall horses in the marching wedding procession, the well-armored and well-organized knights, and the sharp blades emitting cold light in the knights' hands, made them feel even more at ease.

Because they know that as long as these brave and capable elite soldiers exist, their peaceful lives will be guaranteed and their future will have hope.

Comparing it with the tragic situation last year when people were worse off than dogs during the war, they were filled with emotion and supported the Liu family's rule in Anya County from the bottom of their hearts.

"These are the battle-hardened soldiers from Anya County!"

"It was them, under the leadership of the two earls, who repelled the 300,000 fierce troops from the Jin and Liao states! They saved our peaceful life today!"

"Now, they are following the young earl to welcome the bride!"

"A few years ago, many people said that the young Earl would not live to adulthood and would definitely die young! But now it seems that it is all nonsense!"

"Yes, yes, yes! The old Earl has terrorized the barbarians for decades, and I don't know how many lives of our Chen people he has saved!"

"Mrs. Chu is kind and generous, and has saved many lives!"

"The young earl is not bad either! He rescued a million of our Chen people from the Northern Wasteland last year!"

"For a family that has been so kind to us, how could God let the young master die young and leave the family without descendants?"

"Yes, yes! Not to mention, last year they saved us from the war and allowed us to live in peace for nearly a year! Such a kind-hearted family should have a prosperous business and many descendants!"

"I heard that the young earl is not going to marry an ordinary girl this time, but a noble princess from one of the ten royal families! I don't know if it's true or not!"

"Of course it's true! Only a woman of such noble status can be worthy of our distinguished young Earl!"

"Now that the young earl is about to marry his bride, there may be another big happy event next year! Once the Liu family has another young earl, the stability of our Anya County will be more secure!"

"Then let's look forward to this day coming sooner!"

Along the way, many people, after cheering and blessing, began to talk, and most of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Looking at the smiling faces of countless people, Liu Feiyun felt that all his hard work over the past six months was finally worth it.

Now he is in charge of the people's livelihood and internal affairs of Anya County. As for his father, he is only responsible for blocking the enemies outside.

However, dealing with people's livelihood and internal affairs is no easier than fighting a war. It may even be more difficult and more troublesome.

When fighting a war, all you need to think about is how to destroy the enemy.

However, when dealing with people's livelihood and internal affairs, many times we cannot follow our own temperament and likes and dislikes. We must be tough when we need to be tough, and compromise when we need to compromise.

But fortunately, all the hard work was not in vain.

The wedding procession moved forward slowly, and after a few days, it finally left Anya's territory and entered Yanluo County.

The situation along the way changed drastically immediately.

The fields were barren, the houses were damaged, and most of the people there looked hungry and had dull eyes.

And when they saw this team, they often fled in fear, and few people dared to stop and watch.

Even along the way, you can occasionally see unburied corpses.

Today, Anya County is a paradise where the people can live and work in peace and contentment, while Yanluo County is a hell where the people live in misery.

Seeing this, Liu Feiyun frowned:

It seems that my father-in-law has a good reputation as an official, and my brother-in-law is also capable of fighting some battles, but they are still a little lacking in managing the people's livelihood.

I guess the hundreds of thousands of shi of grain given to them were probably all used as military rations.

In times of chaos, these so-called aristocratic families value soldiers more than civilians. This is probably a common problem.

Liu Feiyun was just daydreaming when he saw a mounted soldier hurriedly reporting:

"My Lord! The Eighth Prince, the Young Master of the Royal Luo Family, the Young Master of the Chuncheng Hua Family, your Third Senior Brother, the Patriarch of the Hu Family, and several other distinguished people are waiting in front of you, saying that they will accompany you to the wedding.

Liu Feiyun was stunned and thought to himself:

"Gu Chengxu!? Luo Tong!? Senior Sister Hua's brother!? Third Senior Brother!? Why did they come to Yanluo County?"

"Even if they want to join in the fun at my wedding, they should go to my hometown in Anping, right?"

But he said:

"Take me to see them quickly!"
