My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 229 Use other people’s money and food to do your own things
This is the first time since the two siblings fled the country that they have been so unhappy.

In the end, Hu Yan didn't go to He Qiuniang, just found a reason and returned to the army early.

When Yi Run came back and heard that the sister and brother had just had a quarrel and broke up on bad terms, she immediately regretted it.

If he had known that Hu Yan would come back today, he would not have gone out to find a way out.In the end, no way was found, and he missed meeting Hu Yan.

Listening to Hu Dangui's cries, Yirun felt disgusted.This woman is so stupid, she can't even control her own brother.

He spent so much time and so much money...

But now no news can be spread, and if the high-yield grains in Lingnan can be spread back to Xirong, then they will not worry about having no food to feed their troops.Let alone the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would not be a problem even if the entire Central Plains were annexed.

He secretly resented the thought that the border was as tightly guarded as an iron wall.He didn't know what kind of magic power this couple had. The people all turned their backs on the couple, and the soldiers at the border also all worked together to make him run into obstacles at every turn.

He secretly gritted his teeth and must report the situation in Lingnan to his young master as soon as possible, otherwise Lingnan's rapid development would eventually become a serious problem.

Just thinking about it, he couldn't help but wonder, didn't the young master find an ugly woman to report Lu Shiyan's situation at any time?Why has Lingnan undergone such earth-shaking changes, but there has been no action at all?

Did the young master not receive the message?Or is there a stalemate in the war outside and you can't care about this?

Thinking of the ugly woman who suddenly disappeared from the village, he frowned so hard that he could kill a mosquito. Could it be that Lu Shiyan discovered something?

*
Jiang Tangtang originally planned to leave for the capital in early November, but the actual travel time was much later than she expected.

There are really too many chores to do, and I keep arranging them one by one. By the time I can finally travel, it will be mid-November.

Fortunately, it is not a very urgent matter for the two of them to go to the capital. If it is later, it will be later in the evening, so it does not matter.

It is worth mentioning that the person Lu Shiyan arranged to pick up Anyang Bo had been found seven days ago and is now escorting him back.

Jiang Tangtang felt relieved when he heard that the original owner's father was safe.Finally settled a matter of concern.

They set off on this trip with the caravan.

The people in the caravan were all found by Lu Shili from everywhere.

Although these people are not soldiers, they are highly disciplined and all have extraordinary skills.

The leader of the caravan is named Cheng Jiashu. He is only in his twenties, but he is very good at wielding a broadsword.

Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, he is also very capable in handling his subordinates.

In order to prevent anyone from taking away important information or seeds from Lingnan, he had very strict requirements on his subordinates.

In addition to self-examination, caravans are also subject to strict scrutiny like everyone else when leaving customs.

In addition, there is also a group of people like supermarket loss prevention officers who are hidden everywhere, keeping an eye on everything and killing all the forces that are detrimental to Lingnan.

Seeing the security as an iron wall, Jiang Tangtang could not help but admire the wisdom of the ancients.Although there is no modern technology, the security is no worse than that of modern customs.

As soon as we left Lingnan, the world suddenly changed.

It is different from the vigor and vitality of Lingnan.

There was a dead silence outside the city.

Some of the refugees outside the city had numb faces, while others were full of sorrow. More people were looking anxiously in the direction of Lingnan, wondering when they could enter the city.These are all refugees who have fled to Lingnan and want to enter the city.

However, refugees must stay where they are and their identities must be verified before they can enter the city.In addition to preventing spies from sneaking into the city among the refugees, it was also to prevent the plague.

Refugees are fleeing from various places. The sanitary environment on the road is poor, and so many people gather together. Especially since there are many places fighting and there are countless casualties, no one knows what disease someone will get.

Therefore, someone from the government arranged for people to come over to give porridge and check the refugees' health.

You can enter the city only if your body is free of diseases, there are no problems with identity verification, and your clothes have been disinfected.

Although Jiang Tangtang has formulated a series of measures to settle refugees, the number of refugees outside the city walls is increasing every day. The person who takes over the refugee office has repeatedly added more manpower, but there is still not enough manpower.

Compared with the people living and working in peace and contentment in the city, the appearance of these refugees is really sad.

Not to mention, the further you go towards the capital, the more desolate it becomes.

There are large stretches of fertile land on the road that are uncultivated, and from time to time refugees in ragged clothes pass by the convoy and look at it like hungry wolves.

If the convoy hadn't been made up of strong men and equipped with sophisticated weapons, Jiang Tangtang was sure that these refugees would have swarmed the convoy and eaten them until no bones were left.

When we reached Cangwu, there were corpses everywhere in the wilderness with no one to collect them.Although Jiang Tangtang knew that it was cruel outside, he was still frightened.

"Why are so many people dead here?" Jiang Tangtang called Cheng Jiashu over to talk.

Others don't know her true identity, but Cheng Jiashu does.

This time Jiang Tangtang came out dressed as a man, befitting Lu Shiyan's brother.

Cheng Jiashu bowed his hands to Jiang Tangtang, "Second Young Master is unaware that instead of sending people to provide disaster relief and pacify the refugees, the prefect of Cangwu sent heavy troops to guard the city to prevent refugees from entering the city."

Jiang Tangtang asked: "Why don't these refugees go to Lingnan?"

At the beginning, it was indeed because Wei Haohan wanted to harm them and deliberately publicized her reputation, attracting a large number of refugees to Lingnan.

But later on, Jiang Tangtang needed labor and personally sent people to tell supernatural stories or spread ballads to promote herself and Lingnan in order to allow these refugees to go to Lingnan and continuously expand the labor force in Lingnan.

Cheng Jiashu said: "Second Young Master, you don't know something. The journey to Lingnan is long. Many families are already so poor that they have to give up their children for food. It is not easy to reach Cangwu. Where else can we go to Lingnan? Most of those who can escape to Lingnan are wealthy. He must have some family background, or someone to help him on the way."

"Is that Cangwu County Sheriff rich? Are there any wealthy people there?" Jiang Tangtang narrowed his eyes and had a bold idea in his mind.

Cheng Jiashu said with righteous indignation: "That bitch Shan Yun is a corrupt official. He has never done a good thing since he took office. He has raised eighteen concubines. He is extremely rich, but he can't bear to save a little bit from between his fingers." Refugee is really an insult to the black gauze hat on his head..."

He listed Shan Yun's major crimes in detail, but Jiang Tangtang's eyes became brighter and brighter.

It will be easier if you have money and food.

She likes nothing more than using other people's money and food to do her own things.

Then, she and Cheng Jiashu asked about the rich households in the city, especially those who were rich and unkind.

After she inquired clearly, she waved Cheng Jiashu away and looked at Lu Shiyan with a smile.

Lu Shiyan was very familiar with her smile, and he guessed what she wanted to do without her having to ask, "Do you want to enter the city?"
