The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 128 The law does not blame the refugees for fleeing
Seeing Song Dalang dumbfounded by Tuantuan's words, Wen Bao smiled unkindly, and then explained what was going on.

"I was taught by my father when I was young, and I was very envious that my brothers could go to the academy to study. I didn't want us to be different from others.

Go to school at the age of five, come back at the age of seven, let her have a good time in two years. "

After listening to his wife's explanation, Song Dalang looked at Tuantuan proudly and said: "Father's Tuantuan is really good, no worse than other people's boys!"

Hearing his father's praise, Tuantuan laughed like a little fool, as much as Song Dalang was as proud of that.

Songjia Village laughed constantly because Song Dalang and Wu Yong came back, and Nanning County was also beaming because various caravans came back one after another.

When these caravans left with the cabbage, they didn't know whether the cabbage would be sold, so only half of the cabbage was given to the silver.

Every caravan took a different route, like the Wu family, they took it to the coast.

There is little food in the coastal areas, and the fishermen mostly feed on fish and shrimp, or seaweed and kelp in the sea. This time, the Wu family brought spicy and sour cabbage, which made these fishermen even more different. s Choice.

"I remember you said that the stewed fish with spicy cabbage and sour cabbage are very delicious. Those fishermen's homes don't have many other things, but they have a lot of dried fish. They are stewed together. There is soup and vegetables, not to mention how delicious it is."

Song Dalang remembered Wen Bao's explanation, when he sold vegetables to those fishermen, he mentioned a lot of recipes.

"Uncle also knows what you said about freezing the fish and shrimp with ice cubes and transporting them to the inland. He said that he will start to do it next year. If it can be done, he will share money with our family."

Song Dalang didn't think there was any shame in watching his wife's idea to make money. If Nanning County didn't rely on his wife's idea this time, he didn't know if he would have survived the difficulties.

The Wu family caravan went to the coastal area, and other caravans also went to the same disaster-stricken places.

These places didn't have Wen Bao's proposal to rush to grow womb, and they could find a way to make womb so delicious, they more or less got something.

In Nanning County, since the caravans came back one after another, Lord Liu also started to notify the people who had sent cabbage to the county to collect money.

In fact, each caravan does not earn much from this womb, which is incomparable with their previous huge profits, but the goods they brought back can be sold for some money, not to mention that they are looking at Mr. Liu relationship and the future development of my family in Nanning County.

The people in the county were very happy when they received the notice from the county. They were still worried about what to do during the Chinese New Year when it was almost Chinese New Year.

When they arrived in the county and found a lot of fresh and cheap things, they were even more delighted.

After receiving the money for the cabbage, I went to the county to buy necessities for the family during the Chinese New Year.

After buying cheap grain and cutting two catties of meat, as well as red couplets and firecrackers, all the people in the county went home happily.

Even the heavy snow can't stop these people's enthusiasm. Master Liu said that next year they can open up more wasteland. They can't grow food in the wasteland, but they can grow some vegetables.

And I heard that Master Liu will organize people to dig mud in the Qinglong River next year. They have heard that this mud is the treasure of the fertile fields.

The people in Nanning County are all happily preparing for the New Year. Wen Bao and the others in Songjia Village also started to prepare things for the New Year. They saw that there was only a small amount of food left at home, and they encountered difficulties again.

"Brother, the county seat of Nanning County is ahead."

A man in his early twenties happily said this to the man beside him, and then hugged his youngest son tightly in his arms. Master Liu of Nanning County is a good official, and he will definitely not ignore them.

"Notify the clansmen, find a sheltered place ahead to rest, Er Zhuang, you and I will go to the county seat of Nanning County to see Mr. Liu."

"Hey, San Zhuang, my eldest brother and I leave, and the clansmen will be handed over to you."

Shangxiage Village is close to Nanning County, with only a mountain in the middle, but on this mountain, their experience cannot be compared with that of the people in Nanning County.

Ge Sanzhuang listened to the words of the elder brother and the second brother and went to work immediately. This time, more than [-] people from Ge village and their whole family escaped. Except for Nanning County, there is still a glimmer of life, and there is no hope of survival in other places.

"Mother, are the brothers coming back?"

It was almost the fifteenth day, and Tuantuan began to count the time when the Wen family boys came back with their fingers.

Hearing what Tuantuan said, Wen Bao glanced at her before smiling and said, "Yes, but this time they may be a day or two later than usual."

"why?"

Tuantuan looked puzzled, but the brothers agreed to bring her back delicious food.

"Because this holiday is Chinese New Year, they have to clean the academy, and there are still many things to do."

Although Tuantuan was unhappy after hearing what her mother said, she laughed again when she thought that her brothers could stay at home for a long time.

The Wen family boys did come back two days later than before, but when Wen Bao saw Master Liu who appeared with them, he immediately became puzzled.

"Uncle Liu, why are you so tired?"

As soon as Wen Bao finished speaking, Master Liu sighed softly and said, "Bao'er, uncle is not afraid of being ashamed anymore, uncle came this time to ask you for help."

As soon as Mrs. Liu's words came out, Wen Bao was even more surprised. The dignified county magistrate came to ask her for help?

Seeing Wen Bao's puzzled face, Wen Chengquan immediately explained.

"The next county is close to Shangxiage Village in Nanning County. More than [-] young and strong children fled from their homes to the county seat yesterday. They begged our Nanning County to take them in."

As soon as Wen Chengquan finished speaking, Wen Liushi, who heard the news, had already arrived with his son in his arms. Seeing that everyone's atmosphere was somewhat dull, he immediately hugged his son and sat in a corner.

"How did they escape to our county?"

And still at this time?
"It's all to blame for their county magistrate. My father wrote him a letter from the beginning of the drought, wanting to face it together, but he not only refused, but he was unwilling to release some food to help the people.

A few days ago, the villagers of Shangxiage Village bought some grain in our Nanning County and returned home, thinking of drinking porridge for the New Year, but their black-hearted county magistrate said that their grain was stolen from the county government.

Before the heavy snowfall, he sent people to search away all their food reserves. If it wasn't for the fact that each household's food was stored separately, they wouldn't be able to survive today. "

Following Wen Chengquan's narration, everyone in the room became angry. Wen Bao really didn't expect that the corrupt officials shown in TV dramas really existed.

"The patriarch of Ge Village asked the three Ge Dazhuang brothers to take the whole village under the age of 40 to flee to our Nanning County. Their old people stayed in Ge Village, preparing to resist their black-hearted county magistrate."

Hearing Wen Chengquan say this, Wen Bao's heart skipped a beat. This is the love that parents have for the juniors. They left behind not only the unscrupulous county magistrates who resisted them, but also did not want to burden their children and grandchildren.

"Uncle Liu, what do you want to ask me now?"

Wen Bao didn't understand why Master Liu needed to consult her, and she was not an official, so she didn't understand these things.

"Hey, Bao'er, I won't hide it from you. My uncle wrote a memorial yesterday and sent it up. There is no problem in accepting the five hundred people, but how will I get the food and drink for the five hundred?"

If it was before, Mr. Liu would not have worried at all, but Nanning County has just breathed out, and he still has something to do in a day or two, but there is at least half a year before the harvest in next spring, what should these people do?
It was only then that Wen Bao realized what Lord Liu was worried about. There were more than five hundred people, not fifty, and Nanning County really couldn't afford it at this time.

"Borrow food, ask merchants to borrow food."

Wen Bao shook his head as soon as he said Master Liu, he could naturally think of this method, but how much can he borrow?

If these were the people of Nanning County, he could still persuade them, but they were not the people of Nanning County after all.

After Mr. Liu told what he was worried about, Wen Bao laughed, "Then let them all become the people of Nanning County. Isn't there a mountain between them and Nanning County? Let them keep their homes Moving from the other side of the mountain, there is such a large piece of wasteland. In the spring of next year, there are so many young and strong members of their family, are they afraid that there will be no land to grow food?
Uncle exempted them from paying taxes for another three years. During these three years, they could always repay the borrowed food.The most important thing now is actually this winter. As long as this winter survives and next spring begins, even if there is no food, we can find other ways to feed them. "

As soon as Wen Bao finished speaking, Master Liu's eyes lit up. It is indeed possible to let them move to Nanning County, but how will the winter food be paid?
"Bao'er, I don't think it's enough to borrow food and their storage, not to mention that they still want to go back and take all the old people at home."

Wen Chengquan frowned after watching Wen Bao say this, and Wen Liushi wanted to say that she gave out money from her own house, but Wen Bao said: "For donations, uncle can organize donations in the county. Whoever has surplus food can borrow Donations can also be collected, unworn clothes, worn quilts.

Ordinary people don’t have them, but big families always have them. They really don’t have them. If one person raises a penny, we, the people of Nanning County, are united and can always make it through. "

This is hundreds of lives, and Wen Bao can't turn a blind eye to it. In addition to fundraising, Wen Bao also suggested digging ice in the Qinglong River for fishing. If everyone works hard, we will surely survive.

As long as we get through this winter and spring comes, there are other ways to feed our stomachs.

Wen Baoyue said that Mr. Liu's eyes are brighter, and that there are so many people in Nanning County, and there are a lot of rice and noodles for a family.

"And uncle, you also said just now that you have already played this matter, so let's make a big fuss about it and let everyone in the neighborhood know about it.

Only when everyone knows about it, is it that the people of Nanning County can't see the hardships of the people of Ge Village, so we will come to our rescue. "

Only in this way can the safety of Mr. Liu be guaranteed, and the law does not blame the public, not to mention that they are doing good deeds, even if this matter goes out, people from the next county may come to Nanning County.

But Wen Bao has already planned what to do next spring, and she doesn't think there are too many people.
