Chapter 109
Jiang Ci drank water, and then calmed down,

Quickly asked the man: "What is similar? How come we don't even have a place to live? Is there a war on the border?"

Jiang Ci frowned, the original owner was an out-and-out peasant girl, she didn't pay any attention to national affairs,
And Jiang Ci's unbelievable guess was made because he had studied history.

"You know?" Shen Shuxuan's expression changed,
Looking at Jiang Ci's pupils a little deeper,
"No, no, no, I don't know! How would I know?" Jiang Ci hurriedly shook her head, buried her head in the drinking bowl,
Shen Shuxuan didn't pursue further,
"You're right. When the general guarding the border surrenders to the enemy, the enemy army will attack soon. It may take a year at most, or three months at least."

Jiang Ci muttered to herself: "Zhan Luan?"

In modern history books, I saw that the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, and the Japanese invaded China in modern times. Jiang Ci deeply knew the power of war.

"More than that! There will be drought and locust plagues. Not only will the people not be able to harvest food next summer, our emperor will also increase the tax burden on farmers in order to support the frontline. Under heavy pressure, people in dozens of nearby counties will immediately change. Become a refugee, fleeing famine everywhere!"

What Shen Shuxuan said was as plain as water,

Jiang Ci broke into a cold sweat when she heard it,
She lived in a peaceful age, but she also knew the power of war and drought. Under the famine, the entire land was barren, and wherever she went, starvation was everywhere!
Not only good fields will become barren, but even the rivers in the mountains and the creeks in the forest will be sucked dry.The river showed its original appearance, without a source of water, only dust.

And war is even more terrifying. Under famine, you can still eat clay, bark, sweet potato vines, non-toxic insects, leaves, grass roots, cotton husks, roots of traditional Chinese medicine, cotton sleeves, and the same kind of corpses for temporary wrapping.

And when wars break out everywhere, all the people will become the souls of the enemy's sword.

"But...but won't the emperor give us food relief?"

"Disaster relief? Our emperor is busy building the Beiyang Fleet, not to mention distributing food for disaster relief, not only ignores it, but even allows local officials to take the opportunity to collude with local wealthy businessmen to make a fortune in disaster."

Shen Shuxuan sneered,
Jiang Ci's face turned pale, the people suffered such a great disaster, and the ruler did nothing, the only thing waiting for the people was to die!

"Is there no loyal person in the court to speak out and advise?"

"Heh... a loyal man? He has been exiled or executed for various crimes. The current ruler of the dynasty has long been rotten!"

Shen Shuxuan's eyes were red with a bloodthirsty light.

Jiang Ci was greatly shocked. She just thought that she was capable anyway, and picked up people home as soon as she picked them up. She never thought that there would be so many series of disasters after that.

"After listening to this, do you regret taking him home?"

Shen Shuxuan looked cold,
Jiang Ci shook her head firmly: "I don't regret it! If I don't bring them back, I will regret it!"

Shen Shuxuan's expression was half-bright,

Jiang Ci looked calm: "If there is no me, if they don't take them back, they will die in this war sooner or later. Follow me, and I will try my best to find a way out for them."

"What are you doing for? Obviously, it would be much better for you to be alone."

Shen Shuxuan has never been so eager to get to know someone,

Is there anyone in this world who is not selfish?

"I don't do anything, don't you think it's good for our family to be reunited?" Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows,
With a bright smile,

Today she found out that she likes a lively family.

Every day when I go to town, someone misses her and often reminds her to add clothes.Calling "sister-in-law" and "sister-in-law" all day long made her even feel that she likes such a lively scene, and suddenly she felt a sense of dependence!

It was not before, when she just turned off her phone, it seemed that no matter how lively the surroundings were, there was no one who cared about her.

Shen Shuxuan looked at Jiang Ci's smile and said nothing.

But Jiang Ci suddenly looked sore, and patted the man's shoulder: "You should have told me earlier! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bought those streets on North Street. How about 5000 taels of silver? How much grain to buy, hiss~"

The corners of Shen Shuxuan's lips raised slightly: "You can earn so much, and you still value a few thousand taels of silver?"

"Of course I like it! I also earned those money by working hard!"

Before this woman spent money lavishly, he thought that this woman didn't care about money, but it was rare to see a woman like this.

Shen Shuxuan smiled slightly: "Those thousands of taels of silver are not wronged. When the war is settled, North Street will become an important traffic route for stopping by water, and there will be a large number of merchants coming and going. If you want to sell something, that place It could not be better."

Only then did Jiang Ci get some comfort in her heart:
"When will the war be settled?"

Shen Shuxuan hesitated for a while, and said with a half smile: "It's only about ten years!"

ten years?Jiang Ci felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky slam down from the top of her head,
Could it be that she will flee famine for ten years?
At that time, it was not certain whether she would be alive or not!

Even if she is alive, there are no airplanes, high-speed trains or anything in ancient times. If she doesn't settle here, won't the industry on North Street be completely gone?
"Master, I really have a clever plan, and the filling of the moon cake is really perfect for you."

Shen Shuxuan was silent for a moment: "What's the filling for my mooncake?"

He took a bite and found that it was filled with black fillings. He didn't want to eat it again, but the aftertaste was long in his mouth.

Some couldn't hold back, so they ate the whole moon cake.

Jiang Ci smiled charmingly, her pear dimples were lightly sunken, her graceful eyes were full of smiles,
And the woman was so close to him, Shen Shuxuan was dazed for a moment,

"Black sesame stuffing!"

If it were more accurate, this man really looked like a black sesame glutinous rice ball. He looked like a clear breeze and bright moon on the outside, but there was a huge beast lurking inside.

After Jiang Ci finished speaking, she covered the quilt and fell asleep.

And Shen Shuxuan hooked his lips, and took a rest with his back to the woman.

........................

After three days of rest, Shen Shuxuan set off to Fucheng to take the "country test", and Shen Yunhe also went to the medicine hall to continue his apprenticeship.

And the "Sugar Factory" has also been established. If Jiang Ci wanted to control the use of beets before, after all, the origin of this sweet tea is really hard to explain.
But when he thought of the disasters that would follow immediately, Jiang Ci didn't care.

After all, the beets will not be used for a long time on the way to escape from the wilderness!

It is conceivable that the sugar workshop was sold out as soon as it was launched, so with Jiang Ci's consent, another 20 people were recruited into the workshop.Even if the sugar produced is still not enough, Jiang Ci does not plan to expand enrollment any more.

And Jiang Ci continued to supply the "Splendid Restaurant", and it was still 500 catties of cantaloupe per day, which was in short supply.

Since Sun Youcai and Sun Butler knew the sweetness of selling fruit,
