Chapter 206 Escape

Seeing Liu Jing's full promise, Liu's mother felt a little relieved. The reason why she let her second son Liu Ji go out of office early was because she was afraid that he would be influenced by Liu Yu for a long time at home and lose his motivation to make progress.The eldest son Liu Yu is doomed to fail to make a difference, and the second son Liu Ji must not follow in his footsteps.

Signaling the second son who was kneeling on the ground to get up, Mother Liu took Liu Ji's hand and sighed: "I am at ease in entrusting Ji'er to Zhong Da."

Liu Jing glanced at Liu Yu, who looked distraught at the side, and said: "Although Jidi is young, he is calm, abides by etiquette, and behaves elegantly. It is a bit humiliating to come to my door to be a small official with knife and pen."

Mother Liu shook her head and said: "You can't say that. If you want to talk about talent, wouldn't Zhongda be even more talented when he entered the market as an official? Isn't he also the leader of a hundred miles now? Besides, although his position is humble, he holds an important position and can It is most suitable for him to listen to Zhong Da's teachings from time to time."

Mother Liu obviously didn't make a hasty decision on this matter, she must have thought about it all the way.

Liu Jingdao: "I have a special friendship with Wen Lang, and I will definitely treat Jidi like my own children in the future." Then he said: "Since Jidi has decided to become an official, he must get his name in advance."

Liu's mother replied: "Before his father died, he had already chosen a good character for him, called Wenshi."

"Ji Zhe Shi Ye, could it be that before his father died, he had already seen that Liu Yu was not the one who started the family business? He pinned his hopes on the second son?" Liu Jing couldn't help guessing in his heart.

"Liu Ji and Liu Wenshi, this name is very good." Liu Jing then pointed to the car behind him, and said, "The crowds here are too noisy, so it's not a place to talk. I have already prepared the farm, please get in the car."

Seeing Liu Jing's attentive appearance, Liu's mother sighed softly: "Then trouble Zhongda."

Liu Jing replied with a smile: "How can this be troublesome? As a landlord, I must do my best to protect my relatives and friends."

Not to mention that Liu Yu's family was impoverished, they also had very little property, only books filled several cars.

Along the way, Liu Jing and Liu Yu chatted about the recent situation. After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year.

There was a look of hesitation on Liu Yu's face, and he answered Liu Jing's questions one by one, obviously lacking in interest in talking, and it could be seen that Liu's mother's words had touched him a lot.

Liu Yu has always been a free and unrestrained person, but now this appearance is quite rare.

However, Liu Jing was not so naive as to think that Liu Yu could give up her desire to live in seclusion just by Liu's mother's words.The acquaintance between the two is not short, he knows Liu Yu's heart is as hard as iron, unshakable, and neither is his mother.

In this regard, Liu Jing has already sighed countless times, and has long since given up.

The new residence he prepared for Liu Yu's family was located in the southwest of Ling County, at the foot of a mountain.

Compared with the few acres of small houses and several thatched huts in Linxiang, the new residence is much stronger. It covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, and there are ten houses in total. They are all spacious and sturdy. Nine plants can raise cicadas.

In addition, Liu Jing also allocated [-] mu of rice fields to his family for living.

You know, in the past, Liu Jing's family and Song's family, a diner, only needed 230 mu of rice fields to live without worry.

But who made Liu Yu addicted to alcohol? Every year, the Liu family's expenses are astonishingly large.

The reason why Liu Jing only gave the Liu family [-] mu of land was not because he knocked the door, but because he was worried that he would give too much. Liu Jing would use it to buy wine, indulge in alcohol all day long, and drank himself to death.

Liu's mother was very satisfied with the new residence, and thanked her again without mentioning it.

Liu Jing was busy with affairs, so he left after staying for a while.

The next day, Tao Guan also arrived, this time Liu Jing did not show up, and Cai Sheng received him.

Liu Jing found an opportunity to meet him later, Tao Guan was still the same as before, with a short body and funny appearance, very ridiculous, but when he opened his mouth, he would give people a sense of knowledge, politeness, and appearance. There was a great contrast.

Liu Jing took the main seat in his spare time and asked, "Ziyi, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to continue selling cakes?"

Tao Guan nodded and said, "Yes, the villain doesn't know how to make a living, so he has no choice but to make cakes."

Liu Jingdao: "Ling County is a remote and small county, unlike Linxiang. The population in the city is less than [-], and the people are even poorer. It may not be easy for you to support your family by selling cakes here."

It's not that Tao Guan has never thought about this problem, but he only has this kind of thing, if he doesn't make a living by selling cakes, what else can he rely on?

Liu Jing pondered and said: "You know Zuixiangju, right? It was opened by one of my clan members. Now that Linxiang is in danger, Zuixiangju can't continue to operate. Drunk and live in the country. If you want to, you can be a proprietor, and the salary is more than enough to support the family."

Tao Guan and Cai Sheng have a very close relationship. From the latter, he vaguely guessed the relationship between Zuixiangju and Liu Jing. He was surprised by Liu Jing's thoughts: "Ah? Liu Jun asked the villain to be the master of Zuixiangju? ?”

Use a dwarf as the boss, and let outsiders know, so you can't be laughed at?

Liu Jing said with a smile: "It's just a wine shop, with Ziyi's ability, there is no problem."

Tao Guan's heart was very warm, and he bowed deeply: "Thank you Liu Jun, the villain is very grateful."

Liu Jing shook his head secretly, there was only so much he could do.

In the next few days, the fleets that transported the families of the soldiers returned one after another.At the same time, there were also a large number of people who could not escape from the north. In just a few days, the number of refugees exceeded [-], and the number was still growing rapidly.It can be expected that as the situation continues to deteriorate in the future, it will continue for a long time.

These refugees must not be left alone, otherwise it will cause extremely serious consequences. While dispatching a large number of soldiers to guard against death, Liu Jing asked for help from the four counties of Ancheng, Chaling, Youxian, and Rongling in the east, as well as the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang. Ask for food.

Liu Jing believes that they will make a rational decision. If they do not provide food, then don't blame him for leading the refugees to their territory.

On this day, when Liu Jing was writing letters to Lingling and Guiyang counties, he suddenly got a report that a fleet came up on the Xiangshui River.

This fleet is composed of more than [-] large and small ships, of which ten are warships, fourteen are fighting ships, and the rest are also large ships.

They were the only remaining navy in Changsha. After being defeated by the Jingzhou navy led by Cai Mao on the Linxiang River that day, they dared not return to the Linxiang camp and fled all the way to Ling County.

Even Ling County was not their ultimate goal. If Liu Zong and others hadn't led a military boat to block the way to the south, they might have fled to Lingling in one go.

Liu Jing couldn't help "flashing into a rage". At this time of crisis, they didn't want to fight the northern enemy, but wanted to avoid going to Lingling.
