The dinner was of course very sumptuous. After eating, Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Father, go and tell Grandpa's family that you don't need to tighten your belt and eat half full every day. Grandpa is getting old, so don't get sick from hunger." Come. If you don’t have enough food, you can come to our house to get it.”

A look of joy appeared on Luo Ping's face and he nodded, "Okay!"

This is also Luo Xin's reward for his grandfather's change of attitude. In any case, the blood of the whole family is kept in his body, and his grandfather can think of his own family during the Chinese New Year, which makes Luo Xin feel kind to his grandfather.

"People in the village can't live anymore." Luo Shi sighed and said, "Several families have gone out to beg for food."

Luo Xin's expression became serious, he thought more.Because he learned from Zhouzhi County that there was a possibility of refugee riots, and he recalled that there were indeed many refugee riots during the Jiajing period.During this period, many villages were robbed by refugees, causing countless casualties.What if refugees flock to rob Shanglin Village?
However, this matter cannot be told to the parents, lest the parents fear, and return to their room thinking, frowning.After thinking about it for about a quarter of an hour, Luo Xin got up and left the Kan's house for Zhang Shu's house.

Entering Zhang Shu's study, and sitting down with Zhang Shu as guest and host, Luo Xin did not wait for Zhang Shu to ask, and said:
"Father, the autumn harvest is over now. I went to the county yesterday and saw a lot of refugees along the way. Do you think there will be riots by refugees on our side this year?"

Zhang Shu's face was frozen, and he said in a deep voice: "It's possible. I also went to the county a few days ago, and the situation is not good."

Luo Xin's heart sank and he said, "Father, has such a thing happened before?"

"Of course it happened! You didn't have you at that time, you didn't know, it was so miserable!"

"Then... how did the adoptive father deal with it?"

"Two ways!" Zhang Shu said seriously: "The first way is to organize the young and strong in the village, surround the village with wooden fences, patrol day and night, and do not allow outsiders to enter Shanglin Village. And the rich in the village Households open warehouses to release grain, so that the whole village can be twisted into one rope.

The second way is to go to the county seat to hide!Come back when the food shortage is over. "

After saying that, Zhang Shu stared at Luo Xin, and Luo Xin also stared at Zhang Shu and said, "What is the foster father going to do?"

"Alas..." Zhang Shu sighed and said, "In the past, there was a wealthy family named Zhang Long, the one who sold Zhuangzi. Our two families will work together to release grain and organize the villagers. But he has already After selling the Zhuangzi, I don’t even know who the current owner of the Zhuangzi is, and I originally wanted to go to that family to discuss it these days, but found that the family has already gone to Zhuangkong, and there is no one to find. If Just relying on the power of my family, it’s not enough to feed porridge to the villagers!”

"Father!" Luo Xin frowned deeply: "If it's just some refugees, or a small group of refugees rioting, we can organize the people in the village to resist it, but what if it's a large group of refugees rioting?"

"Then there is only one way. Those who can hide in the county seat hide in the county seat. Those who cannot hide in the county seat hide in the mountains with some rations."

"What is foster father going to do?"

Zhang Shuning said: "I'm still going to release the food first and organize the people in the village. This is our home and we can't give up easily. If the homeless riots are not big, we can carry them over. If there are large stocks The refugees rioted, so we had to distribute some rations to the villagers and hide in the mountains, while we hid in the county town.”

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said: "Father, you should release the food first to organize the villagers. Give me a few days, and I will get some food back. Let's distribute the food together."

Zhang Shu's face was full of joy and he said, "Are you going to borrow food from Lu Weng, or from Zhouzhi County?"

Luo Xin shook his head lightly and said, "I'll figure it out myself."

When Luo Xin returned home, he immediately began to write the first, fourth and fifth volumes of "Shu Shan Biography".

"Dangdangdang..."

The broken iron hanging on a big tree in the center of the village was knocked, one by one the villagers walked out of their homes, Luo Ping and Luo Qing also went towards the center of the village.Luo Xin also heard it, and he knew that it was Zhang Shu who was summoning the villagers, but he didn't go and was still writing hard.

the next day.

Shanglin Village became lively. The men went to the mountains to cut wood, and then built a wooden village around the village, while the women built a stove in the center of the village to cook. Of course, the food was provided by Zhang Shu.

In fact, in such a year of food shortage, many villages are like this.There are only two situations in the villages where there are refugees. One is that they are rich and unkind, and they fled into the city early without caring about the villagers.One is that the food of the rich family is also eaten up, and the whole village has no grain.

Luo Xin didn't go out, and kept writing "The Legend of Shushan" at home. He also knew that the time was tight. This time, it only took eight days to write three volumes, and then simply bound them into volumes.So early in the morning, he rode a horse and ran straight to Jinyang mansion alone.

On the road, you can already see refugees in twos and threes, but Luo Xin is not afraid. After all, these refugees have not yet gathered into groups to form a mob. Even if there are occasional three or two people who want to rob him, Luo Xin is not afraid.What's more, when he was galloping on horseback, no one dared to stop the horse. If they dared to stop the horse with their bodies shaking from hunger, they would be hit to death by the horse.

Near noon.

When Luo Xin entered Jinyang Mansion, he still stayed in the inn first, took a shower, had lunch, and then came to the back door of Zhuangyuan Bookstore.

Raising his hand to hold the door knocker and knocking three times, he heard footsteps coming from inside.

With a "squeak", the courtyard door opened, and shopkeeper Song stood inside with a look of surprise.He couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect Luo Xin to arrive at Jinyang Mansion again in just eight days.Hastily opened the courtyard door, and asked Luo Xin to enter the house with a series of voices.Luo Xin was also rambunctious, and directly took out the three books from the bag, and placed them in front of Shopkeeper Song.Shopkeeper Song saw that besides the agreed first book, there was also the fourth and fifth book, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In the past few days, he has read the second and third volumes several times, and he is itching for the next plot in his heart.Resisting the desire to read immediately, he served Luo Xin tea first, and then said:
"Mr. Luo is really fast! Just in the past few days, two more volumes have been published."

A trace of bitterness appeared on Luo Xin's face and he said, "Right now, there is a food shortage. I just want to get money as soon as possible to buy some food and cook some porridge in the village, so that the neighbors in the village can get through this food shortage."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Song immediately stood up, bowed his head, and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Luo is a great virtuous man!"
