Chapter 780 Preparation (2) ([-])
"How much food did you get out?"

"24 carts, [-] catties. The emperor ordered my father to die, and the food cannot be cut off. By the way, I saw Uncle Wei two days ago. He was tired and thin, but he was in good spirits. According to him, the imperial court has sent People and horses set up checkpoints to prevent refugees from flooding into the capital again, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and food was transferred from provinces with better conditions to the disaster areas. I heard that the food trucks for disaster relief were robbed halfway. Uncle Wei mostly lives in value houses these days. Discuss important matters with the emperor Lingxiang. And Uncle Wei is also very good, Wucheng Bingmasi and Jingzhao Yinfu are now cooperating to stabilize the law and order in the capital. He has good abilities and is highly valued by Shangfeng."

Shen Ji broke into a cold sweat when he heard that, most of the food stored by the imperial court had been used for military rations at the border.Today, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters.This food gap is probably enough!Those big households must have stockpiled a lot of food like her.She hesitated for a while, but still only borrowed people and did not give food.As Xu Yun said, all her food is just a drop in the bucket for people in the capital.It was given out, and it was rumored that there was food here, whether it was the returnees or King Ning's people, the first ones would come to attack Wenquan Zhuangzi.Moreover, the grain she put in the grain depot was not sufficient enough to give to others.I don't know how long this day will pass.In addition to Shen Ji, the food in the cellar is also known to Er Gouzi, the general manager Hong who handles it.That is the real life-saving food.After all, she also accommodated more than 300 people here.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you."

The servants brought the noodles, and Xiao Zhizhi said, "Brother Yun, the noodles are here, eat while it's hot. The kitchen sent all the people who came with you."

Xu Yun took it with a smile, and finished the bowl of noodles in a hurry.Although the etiquette is not bad, but the speed is really fast enough, it can be seen that I haven't eaten enough recently.

"Well, Auntie, I'm leaving, Little Sesame and Little Bun. I'll see you later when I'm sad." Under the candlelight, Xu Yun's eyes were shining brightly.He has the demeanor of a well-trained little man.

Little Sesame and Little Bun stood up and said, "We'll take you out."

Xu Yun saluted Shen Ji again and then went out. When the two siblings came back, Shen Ji heard Xiao Zhizhi say to Xiao Baozi: "We can only hide behind our parents, but Brother Yun is already sharing Uncle Xu's worries. It's so dangerous He still dares to take people out of the city to transport food back."

The little bun said: "I don't know if I can enter the city gate smoothly." Those refugees must want to grab food, after all, the daily porridge is getting clearer and clearer.

Shen Ji told them to go back to sleep, "Wait for the news, we will know when our people come back."

Of the 150 people Shen sent out, eight were lost and 12 injured at the city gate.Shen Ji asked Director Hong to arrange the family members of the eight people in the village to enter the yard of Wei's servants, enjoy the same food supply treatment as them, and then open a small stove for the twelve wounded.Today, food is the most precious thing.Among the eight people, three were the guardians of Zhuangzi, three were poor people who were recruited to build houses, and two were monks from Banshan Temple.Shen Ji said that as long as the Wei family survived, he would definitely take care of their wives and children.Those who are on Zhuangzi will never let them starve to death, and those who are not there will try their best to find them after the great distress.

Manager Hu came to tell Shen Ji, "Grandma, the brothers who came back told me that those refugees are as skilled as veterans! If we hadn't killed an army to meet them early in the morning, our losses would have been much greater. The men and horses led by Master Xu rushed all the way. More than half of the casualties in the front. Fortunately, he was protected by Master Dou, although he was killed, he was not seriously injured, that little brother is a man."

Shen Ji smiled wryly, "I'm afraid it's really a veteran. Manager Hu, don't open the door unless our master or young master comes back. I'm afraid that someone will cheat and open the door, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"Yes."

They raised nearly [-] people, and even if they ate mixed grains, the daily consumption was huge.A bag of rice is nearly two hundred catties, mixed with sweet potatoes, etc., two bags in three days.The gate of the capital is closed, and there is no need to make military uniforms and quilts.Those older girls and younger daughters-in-law were arranged by Shen Ji to dig wild vegetables to feed chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep, etc., and those who were bold enough went to catch bugs and dig earthworms.Now it is absolutely impossible to feed these with grain.Everyone worked hard for fear of being abandoned or even eaten.

All meals are served as planned.When to kill and eat, you have to get the pair of cards sent by Shen in the big and small kitchens.This Zhuangzi was only [-] mu at the beginning, but it has gradually become a large Zhuangzi of [-] mu in the past ten years, but wild vegetables and insects are limited.Such large batches are caught in a few days and they are all gone.In the end, except for the fish that were fed in the fishpond, all other domestic animals were killed and pickled.Otherwise, the livestock would lose weight if they had nothing to eat.Salt is also enough. Shen Ji remembers watching movies when she was a child and the Kuomintang blocked the salt of the Red Army.There is really no food, and the porridge can last for a long time with salt.She also asked a few experienced tenant farmers in advance to ask what preparations are needed in such a situation, and she dare not be sloppy at all.Otherwise, it would not be easy to take out so much salt to wipe these mass-killed livestock at this time.

At this moment, the situation outside became more and more critical.Under the influence of natural disasters and man-made disasters, as well as deliberate propaganda, some people gradually believed that the emperor's mismanagement of governance, military violence, and tyrannical nature attracted such natural disasters.Moreover, after Lin Ziqin's defeat at Border Gate last time, there was no news of success.King Ning stepped forward at this time and issued a call to punish the tyrant to bring peace to the troubled times.Several cities even surrendered without a fight, causing the troops gathered by King Ning to pass directly.

Some of the [-] to [-] young and strong refugees in the capital were sent to Beijing in batches by King Ning from various places.There are also some refugees who are indeed refugees, and they simply take refuge in these people in order to make a living.The team quickly grew.Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the imperial court mobilized troops to intercept it in various state capitals, preventing the refugees from flocking to the capital again.

Now the two to thirty thousand refugees are locked up outside the capital by the imperial court. In fact, some of them sneaked into the city earlier and are being arrested one by one.After stopping giving porridge to the refugees, these 3 people once became the nightmare of tens of thousands of people in two or three provinces near Gyeonggi.They corrected the crowd to burn, kill and loot, and wandered around the capital.They occupied several big villages in the suburbs of Beijing.

Hot Spring Zhuangzi was also besieged, but the food here was enough to last another two months. There were twenty wells in the water source Zhuangzi, and there was no way to pour medicine from outside. Under the leadership of Guanshi Hu and the first monk of Banshan Temple, more than 200 young and strong repelled several attacks by a team of one thousand people.Even Shen Ji and some older girls and daughters-in-law went to the garrison on the raised wall, picked up a pot of hot water and poured it down, or picked up the stones prepared in advance and smashed it down...

It's just that when three or five of the opponent's people fell down, one of their people had to lie down too.Watching the young men recruited by her fall down one by one, Shen Ji couldn't help asking Master Kaye who was watching the battle and offering salvation to the dead.He wears a mask when he is out all year round, even in front of ordinary monks, and this time is no exception.
