Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 368 I want to climb the city wall

Xia Dalang swallowed the sour bitterness in his heart, forced a smile on his face, helped his grandparents, and "warmly" entertained the neighbors who flocked to the door.

Others saw it, but they didn't see the complex emotions in Xia Dalang's heart. They just felt that the boss of the Xia family was worthy of being a scholar. Mudlegs are shy.

The old couple quickly decided to rebuild the house and yard, and they followed the court's request. Xia Daohua is so smart and capable, and after earning a job as a county lord, the family can still live in the place where they live.
There is no need to worry too much about building a house. The court already has ready-made craftsmen.But in order to take care of the minds of the neighbors in the neighborhood, the Xia family also selected some people to help, pay wages, and provide two meals. After Xia Daohua made up his mind and selected the blueprints, the construction began.

While arranging, he also ordered a banquet from the restaurant to treat the neighbors to a good meal.

The neighbors are in a better mood. This neighbor comes out with a charter, and we can more or less follow suit!It would be even better if you can get a job to do; even if you can't get a job to do, there is still a good meal, and you can open it up!
For a while, almost everyone was satisfied, every family celebrated, and the street was full of laughter.

Xia Daohua met Wang Silang and Li Shisuo among the congratulators who came to the house the next day.

Wang Silang came to talk about buying grain.

For a while, I can't leave the capital, and all the parts under my hands have to eat and drink, and I can't do without food.

However, Xia Daohua looted all the money and valuables in his village, so he had to take out the body that was hidden in another house, and begged Xia Daohua to sell him some grain.

This matter is not to blame Wang Silang's stubbornness.

The army of the northern barbarians is besieging the city in a hurry. Seeing that the price of grain is about to soar, all the grain shops in the city are waiting and watching. Every day they open their doors, they only take out a small amount to deal with it, and when they are sold out, they will put on the shutters.

A person like Wang Silang who is in such a hurry to purchase a large amount of grain is like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!
But, wouldn't Xia Daohua kill him?

Xia Daohua slaughtered Wang Silang, and she would never be soft-hearted.

But from Wang Silang's point of view, the grain Xia Daohua sells is of high grade, and buying from her is actually much more cost-effective than buying from other grain merchants.

Besides, now is a special period, what are you afraid of being expensive?It is king to be able to buy it!
Seeing the pair of huge gold ingots presented by Wang Silang respectfully, Xia Daohua didn't make things difficult for him, and readily agreed to sell the grain.

The two agreed that the first batch of grain would be sold at twice the current market price.

In the future, try to follow the market as much as possible. If the price of food in the market rises, Xia Daohua will also rise here.

Wang Silang's face was full of heartache, and he deeply regretted that he shouldn't have offended this little goblin back then.

Yes, in Wang Silang's heart, Xia Daohua has already been identified as a mountain spirit and tree monster, and he thinks she is probably some kind of monster who has become a spirit, otherwise it is impossible to explain how she easily stole things from the house , How can it be so easy to mobilize a large amount of food.

It's a pity that although he has sent out many parts to search all over the capital, he still can't find even a Taoist priest who is really capable, otherwise he would have taken this evildoer away long ago!
He has already sent his confidant to deliver a letter to the Wang family in Luojing, begging his family to help him find a Taoist priest who is capable of killing monsters and destroying evil.

He never expected that the gate of the city would be closed suddenly just as the confidant who delivered the letter left the city. Even if he found a Taoist priest at home this time, he might not be able to use it—there is a war with the Beiman here, so how much will it cost? Money, people are not willing to come!
Xia Daohua can't read minds, and although she felt that Wang Silang's expression was a bit strange, she only thought that he was feeling sorry for Yinzi, so she didn't take it seriously.

Asking Wang Silang to bring his own convoy to fetch food, Xia Daohua waved him away.

While Wang Silang couldn't help gnashing his teeth, he also had to maintain a calm expression on his face, not letting Xia Daohua see his dissatisfaction, so he endured it quite hard.

Now that Xia Daohua asked him to go back and arrange the convoy, he was relieved.

……

Beiman didn't go into too much detail. After a few days of siege, he probably got the information from the spies, knowing that there was no chaos in the city, and he had stopped resting and began to attack the city.

The northern barbarians are nomads and were not good at attacking cities.

But along the way, they used all kinds of conspiracies, threats and lures, sent and bought many spies, broke through several cities in a row, and accumulated a lot of siege experience.

Now they can even build catapults and ladders.

Of course, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Beiman - in Qingzhou County, they didn't get any favors.

However, although the Beiman suffered a major setback in Qingzhou County, they abandoned Jiaxiang Ridge, bypassed Ping'an County, and broke through the Thorn Pass, which regained their confidence.

Especially the vulnerability of those military households at Thorn Pass boosted Beiman's confidence even more.

Beiman went south all the way, in addition to carrying the looted property with them, they also brought the looted population with them.

When besieging the city, the northern barbarians let these captive Han people take the lead, especially those old and weak women and children, betting that the officers and soldiers guarding the city could not bear it.

If you can't bear it, you will surrender in Kaesong!
If one is determined to be ruthless, it is easy to lower the morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city because of this harshness and rationality!
The defender of the capital was born in the imperial guards and had nothing to do with Jingji Pass, but seeing those captives who were ordinary people from other places, or military households in Jingji Pass, were forced by the Northern Man to become their accomplices in attacking the city, my heart felt sad. Inevitably sour.

However, as long as Shangfeng doesn't order, no matter how sad they are, they won't soften their hearts.

After all, compared with the Nine Clans of the people outside the city, the Nine Clans are still more important.

Jing Zhaoyin has already begun to organize Minzhuang and healthy women to go to the city to help the imperial guards defend the city.

Although the Xia family has recently produced a county lord, they still need someone to pay to help defend the city.

When Mrs. Zhou heard about this, she was so proud that she had to go up the city wall to help the army cook!In the end, he was dragged around by Mr. Xia, who tried his best to stop him.

Xia Daohua couldn't laugh or cry.

The old lady Zhou has a strong temper, and she hates Beiman deeply. The Beiman caused her to abandon her family and business, and fled thousands of miles in a hurry. They even killed her favorite eldest son, and almost destroyed the big house. How could he not hate the northern barbarians?
Knowing her details, Xia Daohua had no doubt that the old lady was serious about her thoughts.

Zhou's sons can't sit still anymore, they can't let the old lady go all out, and they can sit at home, right? !

Therefore, the Xia family of Lord Fuze County recently came out, and like the ordinary people, they also sent out several strong laborers to help the Imperial Guards transport bricks, tiles, wood and stone materials, move them, run up and down , to help the army defend the city.

Xia Daohua also went to the city wall to have a look.

After witnessing two real and bloody battles on the battlefield, Xia Daohua decided that even if it wasn't to fulfill Zhou's wish, she would have to do whatever she wanted.
