reborn child bride

Chapter 779 Preparation (1) ([-])
Unlike Master Kaye, who was born in the royal family, Shen Ji is a woman.Let the men worry about the big things outside now. Her task is to look after the family and protect several children.Speaking of which, she hasn't seen Wei Ying for almost a month.The situation in Beijing is definitely more chaotic.Steward Hong found out that Xu Mao was trying to stabilize food prices.However, the imperial court sold it at a low price, and some profiteers and officials colluded to eat up these hard-earned materials and then sell them at a high price.At this critical moment, Xu Mao had already killed several people.It's not that he's incapable, he's just muddled along for so many years.Otherwise, Wei Ying would not strongly recommend him as Jing Zhaoyin.Now that he has been pushed to the cusp, his blood and toughness are fully revealed.

By the way, Fuye's family is about to have an accident, so Danzhu cannot be allowed to go back.Two days ago, she also said that she wanted to go back and have a look, but was persuaded by Xiao Zhizhi.We have to go back now, maybe we will go to prison together.Wasn't she bringing Danzhu here to avoid this disaster?

Shen Ji called Dan Zhu to come and told her about Princess Xiling.

"Just stay here with auntie, you won't be able to help your mother and brother when you go back."

"But……"

"Don't worry about it, stay at ease, the situation will only get worse." Hot Spring Zhuangzi is now a closed and self-sufficient small kingdom. Shen Ji has a lot of things to do every day, and he can't bear to talk to her slowly. .

Danzhu thought for a while, "Then, auntie, is there anything I can do for you? Don't just treat me as a guest."

"Success, I'll give you a job."

Master Jiaye went out and walked around, only to find that there are quite a lot of people taken in by the hot spring village.When they entered the village, there were also refugees who wanted to follow in, but were stopped by the guards in the village. At that time, the master was still sighing.Chaos will arise, and no one can do anything about it.Even on the way, there are refugees trying to grab their food.Seeing that Shen Ji has accommodated so many people now, he couldn't help but be amazed.

After seeing the situation in the village, Master Kaye was very grateful that he wanted to distribute some food to the refugees on the way, but he canceled it after seeing more and more refugees.If it weren't for bringing so many monks along the way, it really wouldn't be possible to arrive safely.If so, those people also followed them all the way.Fortunately, the road was not too far away, otherwise, more and more refugees followed, even if they had fifty monks, and Shen Ji sent someone to pick them up, it would be difficult to keep the two large carts of food.

"Xiao Ji, do you have enough food for so many people?"

"Do your best. I can't drive them out now. There are chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and fish in Zhuangzi, and they are constantly hatching chickens and ducklings. The fish in the pond grow and become fatter, and there are also vegetables in the fields. , because there are so many people who want to eat food, I also stockpiled some, and now you have brought so much, master. Eat the dry ones, and eat the rare ones. However, I have to borrow them from the monks of the master. .Otherwise, with such food, I’m afraid I won’t be able to suppress it in case someone messes with me.” The force value in the mansion is not low, and many of them followed their husband and wife to life and death, and I can trust it. Now Coupled with the people from Banshan Temple, Shen Ji's heart became more confident.

"You can do whatever you want. Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Your meritorious deeds are great."

At the beginning, Wei Ying was able to send someone to send messages to Shen every now and then, but later tens of thousands of young and strong refugees poured in. Xu Mao suspected that these young and strong refugees might be King Ning's troops, and the gate of the capital was closed.The news was interrupted for a while.Finally, the news from the capital was brought by Cui Da's family who fled to Zhuangzi.Baoyue Zhai was robbed by the poor in the capital.Fortunately, they still thought that Shen Ji was a person who did good deeds and accumulated virtue, and there was no one who hurt Baoyue Zhai, and only took money and things.There are countless shops that have been robbed in Beijing.Cui Da's shopkeeper had to bring his family to Zhuangzi to join Shen Ji, and he also brought many craftsmen.He said that fortunately, Shen Ji said he wanted to buy a house and took all the cash away, and also took away some treasures and said that he would sell them directly to the noble ladies in the circle, which greatly reduced the loss.

That night, Shen Ji was planning to go to bed, and now several children live in the main room, one is Shen Ji's habit, at this time she would see them in front of her eyes every day, and she would nod their heads before going to bed.Second, those courtyards can also be vacated for the family's servants to live in.Then the house of the servants is vacated for the workers to live in.In this way, there is no need for dozens of people to live in one house, and there is no need to build another shed.At present, the people in my family, including the servants, can still eat eighty-nine percent full.This, closeness must be reflected, and the servants in one's family cannot be treated the same as those who are taken in, otherwise it will easily chill their hearts.

Wan Cui came to knock on the door, "Grandma, the eldest son of the Xu family is here."

Shen Ji sat up, "Yunyun?"

"Yes, it's him."

"What is he doing?"

"It is said that I was ordered by my father to go out of the city to carry food. Seeing that it is not easy to go back, I want to borrow some help from grandma."

Xu Yun is 14 years old this year, but he is also at an age when he can come in handy.As for where he moved the food, it must be that Xu Mao has been operating here for 12 years, and also stored some money and food, which will be useful now. He was really willing to send out a 14-year-old half-grown child like this, and it was obvious that no one could use it.It seems that the capital city at this time is really chaotic.

Shen Ji put on his clothes and got up, "Let him come in, and call Xiaozhizhibaozi too."

Xiaozhizhi and Xiaobaozi arrived first, "Mom, what happened?"

"Sit down. It's Xu Yun who came to borrow someone from us. He wants to transport food to Beijing at night."

While talking, Xu Yun came in.He found a secluded small door and knocked on it for a long time before anyone paid any attention. When he reported the door, someone watched him from the hole dug in the door for a long time before opening the door to let him in.

"Auntie!" Xu Yun's voice was a little hoarse, a typical voice in the period of voice change.

"Little Zhizhi, pour Yunyun a glass of water. Sit down quickly, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Xu Yun took the water, thanked Xiao Zhizhi, and gulped it down.Xiao Baozi heard that he hadn't eaten, so he quickly ordered the cook to come down.Both siblings admire Xu Yun very much at the moment.

"Tell me, how is the situation outside?"

"There are more and more refugees, and there is no way to check the household registration, so they all have to be locked outside the city gate and then give out porridge. I estimate that there are 3 or [-] people in the capital. Many women, children, and old people starved to death. Many people heard that Yi There is not enough food in the city. I was actually leading the way this trip. My father sent Mr. Dou from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion to bring soldiers and horses. The food was collected by my mother over the years, and it was originally planned to be transported. Sell ​​it in the disaster area. But now that the capital is short of food, my father asked me to bring people out to relieve the urgent need. Seeing that there are so many refugees on the road, Master Dou and I discussed that we are afraid that the road will be robbed, so I want to go with him again. Auntie borrowed some people. I will let them come back after entering the city gate."

Is it such an emergency?If those 3 or [-] people were really King Ning's people, it would be really bad.Looking back, they might have broken through the gates of the city.Or they couldn't break through the city gate, so they turned to attack the big households outside Beijing.Hot spring Zhuangzi is easy to defend but hard to attack, and now Guanshi Hu is leading people to cut down bamboo by the river to make arrows.A total of two hundred young and strong people in Zhuangzi are practicing archery.To attack those people, you should choose soft persimmons.However, if the news of the Wei family's food leaks out, it may not be so.
