Jun Mobai wanted to persist for a few more days, so he put Hu Jun inside again, and retreated to Yangcheng with the remaining soldiers and horses. At that time, with the help of Li Guangpu, Hu Jun would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Only such a "cowardly and incompetent" him will not arouse the suspicion of his second uncle the emperor.
While Su Jingchen was busy arranging traps and fortifications, he gathered blacksmiths from Quanyang City to build weapons overnight for the more than 500 strong men who 'voluntarily' came to help defend against foreign enemies at the cement factory.
Yu Xiaolian was not idle either. Hearing that there was going to be a war, more and more people flocked into the city to take refuge. Yangcheng was suddenly overcrowded.
There are too many people, and the law and order is chaotic, because a place that is sheltered from the wind and rain can also be used. The officials not only have to guard against making nail boards and collecting excrement, but also have to find time to persuade them to fight.
Yes, persuading a fight, arresting people is impossible, if all the trivial things are caught in the prison, the prison will not be able to hold it long ago.
People with money and cars mostly leave their homes and businesses and drive away. Most of the people left behind are poor people with nowhere to go, and most of them are elderly.
Some old people were left behind by unfilial children, and some stayed behind voluntarily in order not to burden their children.
In the first few days, these old people still carried dry food with them, but within a few days they started to go hungry. Some of them ran out of the dry food left by their children, and some of the dry food was taken away by others.
In short, these people who had no dry food gathered together and came to the county government to ask for help.
The county government has food, but there is not much left of the tax and food that was taken away by the household department.
Although there was not much food, Su Jingchen decided to give porridge to these poor old people.
Su Jingchen was busy, Li Wenyuan was busy, the yamen servants were busy, even the maids and mother-in-law were busy, so the matter of giving porridge fell on Yu Xiaolian's head.
Most of the grains in the granary are covered with husks. In autumn, Su Jingchen only asked the government servants to grind out a small portion of the grain. Now that he wants to distribute porridge every day, the first thing he does is to remove the husks from the grain.
Yu Xiaolian handed over the shelling to Li Dayan, Wang Dafen and their children.
Because Li Dayan and the others broke up with her husband's family and had nowhere to go, and because of the shortage of manpower, Yu Xiaolian asked them to come to the county government office with Sun Manhong and Gao.
Sun Manhong and her two daughters were in charge of cooking the porridge, while Yu Xiaolian, Gao Shi, Sun Manyue and Sun Mansheng were in charge of serving the porridge.
The porridge was cooked by mixing several kinds of grains, and it was very thin, but Yu Xiaolian served the porridge twice a day, but it didn't make those old people hungry.
When Yu Xiaolian was washing the rice, she would mix some rice in the space into it, thinking in her heart that it would be thicker for the common people to eat.
"Ma'am, Shopkeeper Hai is here!"
Although he was busy outside, Su Jingchen kept the grass roots by Yu Xiaolian's side and did not transfer them away.
"Is he looking for me?" Yu Xiaolian said while pouring the washed rice into a large pot to cook.
"Yes, it's over there!" Grass root pointed.
Yu Xiaolian shook off the water on her hands, and walked over, "Master Hai, are you looking for me?"
"Mrs. Su, take a step to speak!" Shopkeeper Hai pointed to the backyard of the county government office.
Yu Xiaolian invited Shopkeeper Hai to the courtyard, and now everyone is busy, there is no one in the empty backyard of the county office.
Shopkeeper Hai saw that there was no one around, so he untied his burden and handed over a stack of banknotes, "Madam, this is your dividend during this period, a total of 300 taels of silver."
Yu Xiaolian knew that shopkeeper Hai also planned to go out to escape, and gave her the dividend before leaving, so that she could use it in an emergency.
"Thank you!" Yu Xiaolian took the bank note. The 2000 taels of silver can really help her a lot. After all, some of the [-] people who came to the cement factory really wanted to defend the city. of?Most of them came for the five taels of silver promised by Yu Xiaolian.
Although the money may not be enough, it is important to defend the city right now, and the rest will wait until the city is defended and Hu Jun is repelled before thinking of a way.
"Madam, I have evacuated towards Jinzhou together with other people in the mansion. Shanyue Residence, Piaoxiang Building, and the Young Master's yard are all empty. Madam can let people who sleep on the street temporarily live in at their discretion.
After I beat the barbarians away, I'll just redecorate and tidy up. "
Shopkeeper Hai said, and handed over a bunch of keys, "Here are the keys for the shop and the keys for the warehouse. If the county government doesn't have enough food, Madam can embezzle it by herself!"
"Thank you! It's just that you are like this... Does Zheng Yuanfeng know?" After all, the shopkeeper Hai worked for Zheng Yuanfeng, and Yu Xiaolian was afraid that he would not be able to make the decision.
Shopkeeper Hai smiled back, "This is the meaning of Mr. Yuan Ye, and I am only following orders."
Yu Xiaolian nodded, "Thank you brother Yuanye for me, please tell him that if I use the things in the Zheng family's warehouse, I will definitely compensate you in full and I won't let you suffer."
Shopkeeper Hai shook his hand, "Mrs. Su, our Zheng family also has a patriotic heart. Don't worry about meager efforts!"
"Sisters and brothers of the Zhao family will go with you?" After all, she promised Feng Shi to take care of Zhao Ping, so Yu Xiaolian asked.
Shopkeeper Hai nodded, "Let's go together!"
"I promised his mother Zhao Ping to take care of him. Since he decided to go with you, please take good care of him on the way!"
"Don't worry, ma'am, I will take care of what you tell me.
If nothing else, I'm leaving? "
"Take care on the road!"
"Madam Su, take care!"
Sending away shopkeeper Hai, Yu Xiaolian, who was holding a bunch of keys, was happy.
In the name of Zheng's family, she can openly take out the food in the supermarket.
As for Shopkeeper Hai's request to let the refugees live here, Yu Xiaolian didn't want to do that. First of all, Shanyueju was a teahouse, and Piaoxianglou was a restaurant, so they couldn't accommodate many people. But the courtyard is well-decorated, and any vase is worth a few taels of silver. If these poor people live in it, wouldn't the Zheng family be wiped out?
Don't look at these people saying that they have nowhere to go, if the Zheng family's things are involved, they will definitely run faster than anyone else.
Although the weather has not really warmed up yet, and people will not freeze to death, the streets are overcrowded during the day, but there are very few people who actually sleep on the streets at night. Everyone is not stupid and will find a warm place to lie down.
Especially this evening after serving the porridge, there are fewer people on the street. Yu Xiaolian knows that many businessmen and scholars with good families have left from the south gate today. When these people leave, the refugees will just open the door Go in and live.
However, no one cares about this kind of thing now, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and some people's masters left, but left behind the caretakers.
The Zheng family also stayed, but the old man at the door saw that it was Yu Xiaolian, so he took the initiative to lead Yu Xiaolian to the warehouse.
Zheng's warehouse has more food than the county government, Yu Xiaolian is really tied to Q.
Only such a "cowardly and incompetent" him will not arouse the suspicion of his second uncle the emperor.
