Poor family mother and son

Chapter 1010 Run Daddy
Chu Qing lowered her head.

She thought it was easy.

Maybe life on the island is too free, so that her thinking returns to nature.

What she originally thought was that her own food would be delivered directly to the workers in the saltworks, and the surplus would be given to the nearby disaster victims.

However, as long as food is being transported, it is impossible for the yamen to not know that now that the traffic is blocked, the land route can only take the official road, because the first thing to be cleared must be the official road, so there is no way to get around the yamen.

Even if it is transported along the coast, as a disaster-stricken area, there must be people from the Yamen organizing disaster relief, and the officials will still be informed.

As long as the officials know about it, they will definitely withhold it. The excuse for the withholding is simple: requisition and repayment after the disaster.

After all, Linyanghou's fief is in Linyang County, and other areas are not under the command of Linyanghou. They must follow the arrangements of the local yamen. Even if it is disaster relief supplies, since they have reached someone else's territory, they must obey the unified dispatch of others.

At that time, it must be a wrangling. The other party can use the righteousness of the country and the rules and regulations to force you to hand over the food. If you don’t pay, they will block the way and refuse to let you go. If you have to wrangle with you, your own workers will still be delayed and will not get food, let alone other victims of the disaster.

If it is paid, it is uncertain whether to pay back or when to pay back, and they can delay indefinitely.

"Then didn't you still send the food?" Chu Qing asked, "Didn't you say you sent the vermicelli?"

Chu Yuan: "They have never seen vermicelli. Our family told them that what they sent was materials for rebuilding the saltworks. The road is difficult to walk, and the rain doesn't stop. The food is afraid of water, so we can't get through in the back. We have to wait. Anyway, we will procrastinate!"

Chu Qing: "Did they believe it?"

Chu Yuan: "Trust me! Besides, if people hear that it's not food, they don't care at all;

Our workers are not stupid, you have already stipulated that the matter should not be based on saving their lives, they not only save their lives, but also have a chance to take away the bedroll, but it is too late to notify the county government;

Those vermicelli were sent over, enough for them and their families to eat for a while;

Not only Ganzhou Prefecture, but also Haizhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, and Changguang Prefecture, these coastal prefectures have all sent some;

In this way, there will not be much for each place, but these foods will allow our family to mobilize the local fishing boats to go to sea to find you;
The boats our people sail back from the island are all big, so it’s hard to be seen, and it takes several days to wait for the grain to be shipped, so I didn’t wait for them, and came to look for you first. "

Chu Qing looked at Chu Xinghai and sighed, feeling sorry for the three members of the family, especially the child: "Oh, didn't I send a letter back saying that I have already gone to the island!"

Chu Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment: "Xiao Haixing said that he was always worried when he didn't see anyone. He said he wanted to celebrate the New Year with you."

Chu Xinghai: "...Okay, if there is something to do, the son will do his best."

Chu Qing, who was about to cry because of Chu Yuan's concern, burst out laughing.

Thinking of what Chu Yuan said before, "With Linyang Marquis and Martyrs Monument in town, no evil wind can blow into Linyang County", Chu Qing became a little worried again, and asked Chu Yuan, "Do you have any news from Laobai and the others?"

Chu Yuan was very excited: "Yes!"

Like a storyteller, Chu Yuan told Zheng Chunqiu and the others how they came back, they used stones as jade to carry out raids, which led to the replacement of grain with stones, and also told Zheng Chunqiu's fate.

Finally, he added: "Old Bai and Old Wei analyzed that Zheng Chunqiu used the name of the fourth prince to bluff and deceive, and then the second prince and other princes seized the opportunity to make a big fuss. This is a royal scandal;

The emperor is definitely unwilling to involve all the princes, so he can only let Zheng Chunqiu take the blame for the fourth prince;
Lao Bai said that if Zheng Chunqiu came back and did nothing, at most he would be demoted to a poor country, so that he would not lose his life;

But he just wanted to fight, and this is good, he lost his life!
And his daughter-in-law, it is said that all the people in the city gave her away in a big snowball, and they didn't even hire a carriage;

Just such a woman, not to mention being murdered for money on the road, even if she is safe, she will be lucky if she doesn't freeze to death. "

Chu Qing was a little nervous: "Does Xiaorou know about this?"

After all, it's her own father, no matter how resentful she feels in her heart, Xiao Rou will probably have a hard time hearing the news of her own father's death, right?
Gan Lai interjected: "I locked myself in the room for a whole day, and didn't open the door for food and water. No matter how much Bai Jiaxing tried to persuade me, it didn't work. I let out a howl. It's all right!"

Chu Qing: "Uh... what are you crying about?"

Gan Lai learned it all at the top of his voice, "I'm going to give birth in two days!"

Chu Qing: "!!!"

Counting the days, isn't it? I guess I'm in confinement now!

After listening to it for a long time, the "myth" of Linyang County should not have spread to the capital, so it won't cause trouble for the time being, but Chu Qing also knows that he can't delay for too long.

If the court thinks that Marquis Linyang is dead and Xiaobao cannot be found, then everything related to Marquis Linyang will probably disappear: the property will be divided up, the Chu family will be excluded and suppressed, and they may even be charged with crimes...

People don't know what "money and money are external objects" until they are about to die. As a person who has experienced life and death several times, Chu Qing understands this truth best.

She doesn't worry about those extraneous things that are not brought with her when she is born, but she is reluctant to part with the Chu family.

Chu Qing only gave them a place to stay, but they took the lives of Chu Qing and Xiao Bao on their shoulders. Such a person, Chu Qing could not ignore.

"Is there an epidemic?" Chu Qing asked, "Also, is there any movement from Vos Country?"

Chu Yuan replied: "The coastal prefecture is okay, all the corpses that can be found have been buried, there are too many dead people, and many people can't be found;

Like Haizhou, there are more than 6 people who say nothing, not to mention that the corpses cannot be found, and even the state government wants to estimate the number of victims by re-registering the living population and subtracting it from the total number of last year;

Among them, children who were born this year or only declared their household registration this year cannot be counted;
The people in Haizhou didn’t die one by one, they disappeared one by one, in large areas, not to mention missing people, even the houses in the area!

Like this, let’s put it bluntly, they are all swept away by the waves and fed to the fish, which cannot cause plague;

However, in places like Fuzhou Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture, where people and livestock were drowned due to inland river water surge caused by heavy rain, the plague has already risen;

You don't know how miserable it is. I heard that the water overflowed the roofs in those places, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps floated all over the streets, and the living people climbed to the high places. People survived, but their homes disappeared;
If you want to live, you can only eat whatever you come across. In order to survive, even those dead fish and shrimps must be snapped up;

Those who suffer from cold, starvation and sickness, those who eat dead meat and have diarrhea, think about it, the torrential rain does not stop, and the shit and pee can't all be flushed into the water?

People drink this kind of water and eat the dead meat in the water..."

Gan Lai threw over the unfinished fish bones and hung them on Chu Yuan's hair: "Is there any end? Why are you so meticulous! It's disgusting!"

It took Chu Yuan a long time to pick out the fish bones entangled in his hair, but he ignored his wife and continued to say to Chu Qing: "Look, if you just throw it around like this, there will be no plague!"

Gan Lai gritted his teeth and picked up a firewood stick.

Chu Xinghai: "Daddy run away, mother is angry!"

Chu Yuan gracefully and quickly dodged behind Chu Qing, and replied to his son, "Why are you running? It's as if I can outrun your mother!"
