Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 37

In such a busy and fulfilling life, more than three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Jiacheng's legs are already healed.

Now Zhou Jiacheng accompanied Qian Guilan to the town to sell lo mei. The Zhou family's lo mei was famous in the town, and it was sold out every time it opened the stall.

Zhou Yue went to Daze Mountain to dig gold and gather medicinal materials from time to time.There are more than 200 gold bars in her space now, and there are many gold sands that have not been melted in time. Now she is a real rich woman.

She enjoyed this comfortable and happy life and was very happy.She was lying on the recliner that Zhou Jiacheng made for her, watching the sunset in the yard, "Father, the sweet potatoes in the yard are almost ripe!"

The sweet potatoes planted in the yard in the spring were cut and planted around the wall after they sprouted. In the past few days, the sweet potato vines have begun to wither, and they are probably almost ripe.

"I think it's almost done. Let's dig it out sometime and see how much we can harvest." Although Zhou Jiacheng has never seen how to grow sweet potatoes, he still has a good eye after growing crops for so many years.

"Okay, let's dig them out and weigh them another day!" Zhou Yue also wanted to see how many sweet potatoes could grow here.Although she knew how to grow sweet potatoes, this was her first time growing sweet potatoes herself.

"Father, we're back!" Zhou Qing's voice came from outside the door.

After parking the ox cart, the three brothers hurried to wash their hands and prepare to eat.Zhou Yue looked at the three elder brothers. These days, after her diet and recuperation, the whole family has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Zhou Lin has grown to 1.8 meters tall, Zhou Qing has also grown to 1.7 meters eight, looks similar to Zhou Lin, Zhou Ming is 1.7 meters two, he is still young, but he is the tallest among his peers.

In addition to practicing martial arts with Zhou Yue every day, the three of them are tall and strong, especially Zhou Qing, who has strong muscles. Now he can fight with Zhou Yue for half an hour, and he is the strongest among the three.

Zhou Jiacheng and Qian Guilan have also gained a lot of weight, and are no longer sallow and thin. Because of studying, Zhou Jiacheng looks elegant, not like a farmer.

Qian Guilan looked much younger, her hair was much darker and brighter.Even Zhou Yue herself has grown a lot taller, and now she is completely different from the black and thin girl she was before.

Looking around at the people on the table, Zhou Yue nodded secretly, feeling very accomplished.

After dinner, the family was reading in the yard, making medicine, and Qian Guilan was sewing clothes.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door, "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou, I am the pillar, open the door!"

Zhou Jiacheng got up and opened the door when he heard the voice, "Pillar? Is there something wrong at this late hour?"

"Uncle Zhou, my father asked the principals of each family to gather at my house. There is something important to talk about." Zhu Zi ran from house to house from the village, and he was already out of breath when he reached Zhou's house and Cheng's house.

Zhou Jiacheng frowned after hearing this, guessing that something important happened, and quickly said to Zhuzi: "Go, I'll go with you!"

The Zhou family is at the far end of the village and is the last one, so Zhu Zi took Zhou Jiacheng to the village chief's house.

Zhou Yue also heard the voice and wanted to follow her to have a look, but every family invited the head of the family, all men, she was still a child, so it was inappropriate to go, so she could only wait at home for Zhou Jiacheng to come back.

Zhou Jiacheng followed Zhuzi to the village chief's house. The heads of more than 50 households in the village were already in the yard. He was the farthest away and the latest to arrive.

When the village chief Li Dashan saw the Zhou family arriving, he said, "Now that everyone is here, I won't waste everyone's time."

"That's right, village chief, if you have anything to say, tell me quickly, everyone is still waiting to go back to sleep." A man said.

"Today Zhuzi took a job in the county town and met a family. The family was driving a carriage, but they were wearing rags." From time to time, Zhuzi drove a bullock cart to the town and county to run jobs to make money.

"What's so strange about this, maybe they are pretending to be poor!" People in the village said, there are many people who go out and pretend to be poor, so it is safer.

"Zhuzi not only saw their rags, but also noticed their flustered faces. He suspected that they had stolen the carriage, so he went up to talk to them." The village chief continued.

"It's possible, but what does it have to do with us?" An old man asked, someone else's carriage was stolen, and there was no need to call the people in the village, it was still so late.

"I called you here today because of the news that Zhuzi got when chatting with them. Zhuzi talked to them a lot, and finally the man told Zhuzi the most important thing. He said that they came from Pingcheng, and that there There was a severe drought, there was no rain for three months, and the crops were all dried up!"

"Huh? Is there a drought over there?" The villagers were all shocked. Drought is a big deal.

"That's right, I heard from that person that the rich people in Pingcheng fled one after another. They came to our side first because they had carriages and walked fast." The village chief continued.

"But if there is a drought in Pingcheng, won't the court allocate funds for disaster relief?" Zhou Jiacheng asked. According to common sense, the court should have received news of the three-month drought. How could the people in Pingcheng flee?

"Zhuzi also asked this question. According to common sense, someone should provide relief and provide food. But when the court was mentioned, that person was furious and scolded the emperor, saying that the emperor was repairing the Changsheng Palace and could not provide money for disaster relief. "Li Dashan was also angry when he mentioned this.

"But there is Changping Pass in Pingcheng! It is a fortress to defend Beiling Kingdom, and there are troops stationed there!" Zhou Jiacheng continued, Changping Pass is the most important place in Pingcheng, and it is directly related to the stability of the northern area.

"Everyone knows this, but that person said that more than four months ago, General Song Chang'an, the general of the wolf army who guarded Changping Pass, was dismissed by the emperor. The folks said that the emperor was bewitched by Taoist priests, saying that General Song would restrain the emperor and become immortal. So he was dismissed by the emperor." The village chief told the news that he knew, their place was too remote, the news was not delivered in time, and he just learned about such a big thing.

Zhou Jiacheng and the villagers were shocked. Their safety in the north depended on the wolf army guarding Changping Pass. Now that General Song has been dismissed by the emperor, they wonder if it will be safe here.

"It's no wonder that the people of Pingcheng will flee from the famine. Without General Song, the wolf army is like a group of dragons without a leader. If the Beiling Kingdom launches an attack at this time, Pingcheng may fall." Zhou Jiacheng analyzed.

The village chief and others nodded quickly, "That's right. The first ones to come out are all people from well-off families. There will be many poor people behind. They will probably arrive in a few days."

"Our place is very close to Pingcheng, will it affect our place?" someone worried.

"The man said that the drought in Pingcheng was not the most serious. The most serious one was Beijia in Beiling State. After Changping Pass, it is Beijia. I heard that the entire Beijia suffered from drought earlier and more seriously than Pingcheng! "The village chief is not confused, he knows what this means.
