Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 231 Yan County confiscated the army
Ke Muqing had nowhere to go after leaving Weiwu Mountain, so he went to wander around the mountain where those children lived to see how Big Flower and Little Flower and the child who was carried by the wrong idiot Yang Jiye got along with the original children in the mountain. Give these children more winter bedding.

It was known that it was cold in the mountains of Zhuangjun, but Ke Muqing only knew how cold it was after last night. Cotton was very cheap in the mall system, so Ke Muqing was very happy. This time he went up the mountain and transported a cart full of cotton to these children in a wheelbarrow.

Seeing Ke Muqing and a group of children gathered around him in surprise, the mother-in-law called out.

"I just knew that the weather in the mountains is so cold, so I sent you some cotton. While you haven't been walking around recently, hurry up and make winter quilts and jackets."

Ke Muqing put the wheelbarrow aside and said, "You move the cotton in, and the wheelbarrow will be left here to dry your things. You are small but strong, so don't use this thing in the mountains."

"Thank you, grandma." The leading child was very grateful. "We listened to grandma and didn't go anywhere today. We only walked around the cave. Today we chopped some firewood and rattan to prepare a door for the cave. When the weather gets cold, Once the door is closed, we won't feel cold in the cave."

"That's a good idea." Ke Muqing rolled up his sleeves, "I'm strong, so I'll help you do it together. You can go to the forest to get some more sticky yellow mud. You can fill the gaps between the wood to block the wind. ”

This group of children did not sit at home because it was not suitable to walk all over the mountains these days. The older children were strong enough to chop firewood, and the younger ones helped sew clothes and make quilts. Even the two-year-old children could Squatting next to the older children, every child is very hardworking.

The children are motivated, diligent, and grateful, so Ke Muqing is willing to help them more.

Some things do require adults with stronger strength to do, such as tying the chopped wood together. If the strength is not strong enough and the two ends of the cane are not tightened tightly, the gaps between the wood will be very large, and the gaps between the wood will be very large. It can't be said otherwise, even if it can barely be used, the gap will still leak.

Ke Muqing accepted it, and these tasks that were difficult for children became particularly easy in her hands.

When the children have ideas, Ke Muqing will follow the door designed by the children. She just listens to the children's instructions.

After spending a day in the mountains with this group of children, Ke Muqing left when the sun was about to set. When he left, the children gave Ke Muqing the herbs they had dug up in the past few days.

"Grandma often comes to play when she has free time. There is no need to bring us more things. We already have enough things." The lead child sent Ke Muqing to the middle of the mountain. "Grandma always brings so many things up the mountain. It is also very hard, and those things are very Spend money.”

"I know, I'll take care of it." Ke Muqing patted the child on the shoulder, then carried two sacks of herbs down the mountain.

The two bags of herbs are not heavy, and they can be placed on the horse without delaying Ke Muqing's riding.

Back at the foot of Weiwu Mountain, Ke Muqing and the people in the thatched house shouted, "Strong men, we can arrange for your brothers in the mountain to go down the mountain to pick up the goods. The place to pick up the goods is still the same place."

After saying that, he rode back towards the previous mountain col. It would take some time for the people from Weiwu Mountain to go down the mountain. Ke Muqing waited for two cups of tea before taking out the things he bought from the system mall. He waited and waited. Only after two cups of tea did the people from Weiwu Mountain come over.

Ke Muqing thought that Yang Erzhu and the other heads of the family had not returned to the mountains yet, but he did not expect that it was Zhu Er's people who came to pick up the goods.

"Mom." The smile on Zhu Er's face was hard to hide, which showed how good he was today.

"Looking at the second master's mood, everything went well last night, right?" Ke Muqing asked with a smile.

"It's going well. My eldest brother has stayed in the city with his people now. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in the next two days, but my second brother should be back in the mountains with good things in the next two days."

Zhu Erdao said, "Madam, you don't know. I led my brothers to raid several nearby cities. There are a lot of good things in the official's house. The gold, silver and jewelry are so eye-catching."

Zhu Er was chatting with Ke Muqing while calling the brothers in Weiwu Mountain to move the goods.

"There are many refugees in Zhuang County, and I have to find a way to resettle the victims from the south and Shu County. There are many corpses exposed in the wilderness outside the city. If these are not dealt with in time, they will cause serious trouble in the future." Zhu Zhu Erhe and Ke Muqing said this to tell Ke Muqing that Qingzhuang County was really short of herbs right now, and the herbs she sent today were of great use.

"Oh, by the way, auntie, the third lady of the Li family you were looking for before is Miss Lu. Our brother who went to deliver a message to Chen County saw her in Chen County. Auntie really guessed it right. Miss Lu is indeed in Chen County. Prince Chen, if our people arrive at Chen County one day later, Crown Prince Chen will bring the personal guards of Prince Chen Palace to Zhuang County to help rescue people."

"Our people have sent a message to Miss Lu. Miss Lu has followed our brothers back to Zhuang County today. Don't worry, Madam. Mrs. Lu and the children she took away are all fine. Apart from being a little frightened, they are also No injuries."

"The brother who came back from the message said that there was Mr. Zhuang who was traveling with Madam Lu. Do you know Madam? I heard that he was once the head of a county in Liang County." Zhu Er asked.

"We know each other, we are old friends." Ke Muqing agreed with a smile.

Zhu Er rode back with Ke Muqing while talking to Ke Muqing about today's events.

"Auntie, there are two pieces of news I haven't told you yet. It's about Yan County and Liang County. My eldest brother is very good at predicting the situation. After King Yan and King Liang heard that the Crown Prince of Shu had rebelled, they also rebelled. !”

"The King of Yan came to the world in the name of a goddess, saying that he was the wise king appointed by God, and he established himself as the King of Yan."

"The King of Liang wanted to be more tactful. He targeted the Queen Mother in the name of returning the throne to the Qing monarch. It just so happened that my eldest brother also asked someone to tell the story about the assassination of King Zhuang. It was also spread that King Zhuang supported officials and bandits. , built Yunyuzhuang for the entertainment of officials and wealthy businessmen, and surrounded and killed the prisoners exiled by the imperial court and the officials who escorted the prisoners. The King of Liang used the excuse to start a rebellion and wanted to force the Queen Mother to commit suicide to anger the people. "

The King of Liang did not proclaim himself emperor, but he still used the name of Qingjun to challenge the imperial court.

Nowadays, the empress dowager in the imperial court is so dominant that it is completely impossible to force the empress dowager to commit suicide.

Just because it was impossible, King Liang had a legitimate reason to be obedient in the future.

The King of Liang was indeed more cautious than the King of Yan.

The reason why King Liang dared to confront the imperial court in this way was because there was Yan County in front of Liang County. King Yan had already rebelled, so he would never give the imperial court an excuse.

If the Queen Mother wants to send troops to attack Liang County, she must first capture Yan County.

"The people of Yan County are now in unspeakable misery. All men from the age of ten to forty-five have been arrested and sent to the army. Even the tourists and refugees passing through Yan County are no exception."

"As long as he is a male, as long as he is still young, he will be incorporated into the military camp when he arrives in Yan County."

"Yan County is now recruiting refugees everywhere to defect to Yan County, saying that as long as they can join King Yan's command, King Yan will protect his subordinates from starving."

Zhu Er didn't know whether King Yan's grain harvest was really that sufficient, but King Yan's words did indeed cause many refugees heading for the capital to divert to Yan County.

When Ke Muqing heard the news, his first reaction was to worry about the people in his hometown in Wangshan Town.

I don’t know if they have left Yan County.

The cruelty with which Yanjun captured the young men was beyond her and Ke Xiucai's initial expectations.

If Yan County is like this, Liang County will not be much better.
