Blessed woman in the farm gate

Chapter 163 Two Waves of People

"Father, don't worry, I have plans in my heart."

Li Shu was still a little worried: "Didn't you guys talk about it at home before, now that the roads outside are blocked, can't food come in?"

Although Li Shu became the shopkeeper and didn't care about the family's business, he didn't know everything. When the trouble was the worst before, he saw Li Fuyue and Li Miaoyue worrying about food sources.

Li Fuyue and Li Miaoyue looked at each other and smiled: "It's true that you can't get in by land, but Dad, have you forgotten, our side is by the sea."

"Beach? Fuyue, what do you mean?" Li Shu's eyes widened. "Could it be that this food came from the sea?"

Li Miaoyue nodded and explained: "We didn't expect this to happen before. A boatman Fuyue knew came to the door and said that he could go to sea to transport the grain. The condition is that we have to take good care of his family. So I agreed to this transaction. There is a lot of grain in the south, and it is also cheap. We will sell it according to the previous market price of grain, and there will be no loss. It will also solve people's difficulties. It can be said to be very cost-effective. Dad, don't worry about the grain Not enough, we still have more food."

Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, you guys are doing things more and more properly."

After solving the family's doubts, Li Miaoyue also took a lot of light work. After eating, she took Li Fuyue out for a walk outside the yard, and took the opportunity to ask: "Fuyue, you asked me to stay there for freshman year. Pen food, what do you want to do?"

Li Fuyue: "Second Sister, I came to you to talk about this matter. You must keep that amount of food. There should be enough food now, so don't let other people know about this batch of food for the time being." exist."

Li Miaoyue became more and more curious: "I know, but why? If it's inconvenient for Fuyue, don't say it."

Li Fuyue shook her head lightly: "It's not something very unspeakable." Li Fuyue listened to a few words, Li Miaoyue was surprised at first, and then nodded cautiously: "I understand, I will handle it well." Li Miao Although Yue has the hottest personality, she handles things very safely. Seeing that she agreed, Li Fuyue relaxed a little bit.

A few days later, the army was stationed in the outskirts wasteland more than a hundred miles away from Panming City. It was almost midnight, but the main ledger was still brightly lit, and the generals inside were discussing something intensely.

"No, absolutely not! The rations of the common people may not be enough to eat, how can we take the food of the common people? Then what is the difference between us and those rebels who burned, killed and looted? The meaning of our guarding this city lies in where?"

"General, that's not what I meant. Who said that the people's food should be taken for nothing? Isn't there no way? The soldiers don't even have food to eat. How can they have the strength to keep defending the city? This is also for long-term interests. ah."

"You don't have to tell me this, I won't agree anyway!"

There was another commotion, and after a while, a tall man came out and squeezed his forehead. The noisy sound in the tent was still there, so loud that it hurt people's ears, and the man had no choice but to stay away. After a while, I stood in the shadow of the forest outside the camp, leaned against a tree, and looked at the silvery moonlight tonight.This man is exactly Zhou Dusheng.

The noise of the quarrel in the tent just now remained in his head, Zhou Dusheng shook his head, stared at the moon high in the sky for a while, and felt much calmer in his heart.

I don't know what's going on at home now.In the past few months, I have been traveling abroad, and I seldom go home, but only exchange letters.I don't know if the two little monkeys, Youxi and Jingzhi, are honest at home. They have reached the age of enlightenment now, and there is another child who is still breastfeeding in the family. His wife is busy again.

Thinking about it, Zhou Dusheng had a slight smile on his lips, but the smile quickly disappeared - the current situation is indeed not very optimistic.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just say that the military rations have already become a problem. The rear support is insufficient, and they are just struggling to consume them. As the days go by, most people have guessed that now is the time when people are panicking and the morale of the army is scattered. How to deal with it is still a problem.

Zhou Dusheng closed his eyes, and squeezed his forehead with his right hand again. He cherished the rare peace that came out of his busy schedule.There is darkness in front of you, and in such darkness, it is easier to calm down and think about problems.Suddenly, Zhou Dusheng heard a bird singing, which was quite close to him.

Zhou Dusheng raised his head, and saw a gray-feathered carrier pigeon hovering above the woods. Zhou Dusheng's heart was shocked. This carrier pigeon was always sent by Li Fuyue to deliver news to him only when there was something important at home. His heart tightened. Hastily stretched out his hand, the hovering carrier pigeon received the signal, and swooped down to land on Zhou Dusheng's arm.

Zhou Dusheng took off the strip of paper tied to its foot, and there were special characters on it to record information. Li Fuyue is the only one who can communicate like this now.After Zhou Dusheng unfolded the note to read, he was surprised at first, and then he smiled relaxedly.

He took out the fire pocket and lit it, burned the piece of paper that recorded the information and extinguished the fire, then strode back to the barracks, his expression no longer the same as before.

During the time Zhou Dusheng left the tent, the people in the tent were still noisy, and there was no decision for a long time.

Now the stalemate is divided into two groups, first of all, headed by the general, who is resolutely unwilling to take food from the people, and the other is headed by one of the deputy generals, who thinks that this can be called grabbing food. Food is only considered for long-term benefits. If the soldiers don’t have the strength to hold knives, the people in the city will still suffer. If it is normal, they will naturally listen to the general, but this lieutenant is not from a civilian background. He is a young son from a prestigious general family in the court, and he is not willing to obey the general's decision, thinking it is a woman's benevolence.

The two waves of people disagreed with each other, and they all thought that their point of view was more reasonable. Zhou Dusheng could eat well on both sides. When he was in the tent before, he was able to pull a little bit, but he felt a little overwhelmed, so he went out for a walk After returning, the two waves of people almost didn't fight directly.

"Xu Changming, you bastard, are you a general or am I a general? Get out of my barracks if you don't listen! There is no need for disobedient soldiers in the army!" Desan! I have been in the military camp with my grandfather since I was a child. Although I am not as old as you, I am not inferior in qualifications. Eat this set!"

"You, you, you! You're just a bastard! You can't control the law!" The general is a rough man, brave and resourceful, but his mouth is not as sharp as that of a young man like Xu Changming. Now he is irritated by Xu Changming's words No, I wanted to kick Xu Changming when I raised my leg. Xu Changming's body was much more flexible, and he dodged in just a moment. Now, Xu Changming is a young man who refuses to admit defeat, with a sullen face: "Here, you kick me, can't I hide for a while?"

He was so angry with the general. At the beginning, this guy's father brought this kid in front of him and asked him to take care of him a little bit more, but now he took care of him too much, and he could jump on his head!
Both sides have their own confidantes, and they are in a hurry to hold the two of them, for fear that they will really fight, foreign enemies are in front, and they are still fighting among themselves, isn't that rushing to die?
When Zhou Dusheng walked into the tent again, what he saw was the scene of two groups of people confronting each other.

As soon as he came in, the general and Xu Changming looked over at the same time.

"Xiao Zhou, you came just in time! You are smart, you judge!"

"Vice General Zhou, you've always been rational. Let me tell you, whose point of view is more correct?"

Except for the general and Xu Changming, everyone was sweating for Zhou Dusheng. Why did the deputy general Zhou come here at this time?Isn't this going directly to the bad luck of the two of them?No matter whether it is the general or the deputy general Xu, people with no status or background like them can offend them!

Zhou Dusheng was not in a hurry, he just said: "The final general believes that what both the general and the deputy general Xu say makes sense, and they are all for the purpose of repelling the enemy and defending the homeland."

Both the general and Xu Changming frowned: "Who told you to say these official words? Now I want you to express your opinion." Zhou Dusheng said again: "The final general agrees with the general's point of view. At this time, the people in the city Only those who are more worried and afraid than us are, and we can't ask the people for food at this time."

The general finally felt better, so he said that Zhou Dusheng was more reasonable.

Xu Changming was not very happy: "If you don't ask the people for food, where else can you get military food? How long can we carry it without military food? Once we can't carry it, the people in the city will not have food problems Oh, that's a direct loss of life!"

"That's exactly what the general wants to say," Zhou Dusheng said indifferently, "My wife is worried about the lack of support from the city guards, so she sent a batch of food, and it's on its way to the barracks right now."

Zhou Dusheng's voice was not very ups and downs, but it made everyone in the tent hear a sense of showing off and pride, but no one paid attention to his tone, because when the people in the tent understood the meaning In the end, everyone was shocked first, and then ecstatic.

There is food, there is military food!Finally, there is no need to keep track of how much rice is left!The soldiers can finally eat enough to go to the battlefield again!

It turned out that the large amount of grain that Li Fuyue asked Li Miaoyue to leave behind was for the city guards.After Li Miaoyue learned of Li Fuyue's plan, she personally delivered the batch of goods and successfully connected to the army's food reserves for the city guards.

At night, Li Fuyue received a letter from Feige from outside Panming City. It was written by Zhou Dusheng. The military situation of the city army can be said to be too busy to touch the ground, and now it can finally take a rest.

As usual, Li Fuyue burned the note with the secret letter under the light, and put down the idle book that she picked up to read again. Li Fuyue was just about to fall asleep, but Shuishui woke up.

The child Shui Shui was very squeamish in the first month or two after he was born, and when he was a little unhappy, his small mouth immediately shrunk, and then he started howling at the top of his throat, but now he is much better.

This child is also exceptionally smart, and will decide whether to make noise depending on the situation. If he sees the adults around him doing their own thing, this child will be extraordinarily quiet. He can play for a long time by himself staring at the tassel pendant on the cradle. But if he wakes up and finds that there is an adult guarding him, he will be extra coquettish, and start to cry at the top of his voice, which seems a bit arrogant.

At this time, seeing Li Fuyue approaching, Shuishui decided to start crying. At this late night, once the child starts crying, wouldn't it wake up the whole family?What's more, Jing Zhi and You Xi, two children with shallow sleep, also slept in the same room with Li Fuyue, so Li Fuyue hugged Shui Shui in time.

The child had just woken up, but he was still a little confused. At this moment, Li Fuyue was holding him and patted him on the back slowly. The eyes of the little baby became more and more blurred, and soon he fell into sleep again. Li Fuyue Put Shuishui back into the cradle, and tucked him in the quilt: "Hmph, little boy, I can't handle you yet?"

Li Fuyue scratched Shuishui's little nose, and Shuishui frowned slightly in her sleep, as if protesting, Li Fuyue smiled lightly, blew out the candle, and went to sleep by herself.

The days passed so plainly and unevenly. The Li family didn't get used to it at the beginning, but then they got used to it well later on. Youxi, Jing Zhi and Zhiwei were all children who didn't care about worries before, but Li Fuyue took over the business of the Li family business. After the matter has been dealt with, there will be more time to deal with the children's problems—that is, the problems of a few children's enlightenment.

Li Fuyue originally wanted to teach enlightenment to a few children at home. After all, there are still many literate people in the family. It is more than enough to teach three or four-year-old children like Jing Zhiyouxi and Zhiwei, but she still gave up later. With this idea, it's not that there is no time to spare, as long as Li Fuyue thinks about this matter and hand it over to a professional, and it can provide a job, it can be regarded as helping poor students who are in difficulties.

Li Fuyue found a young scholar in a private school. He was a quiet and introverted person. Although he came from a bad background, he was somewhat talented and his character was praised by his neighbors. Work, but also very serious and responsible.

It was Youxi who really gave Li Fuyue a headache. This little girl was pampered by her family and she was not easy to learn.

The little girl saw that acting like a baby was not good enough, so she started to make a fuss, and made a lot of funny and funny things, such as pretending to be sick, which made Li Fuyue dumbfounded.
