after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 800
Chapter 800
Lin Yuesha was at a loss. The foreign races were cruel and cruel to the people of Daqi. They managed to occupy the border city of Daqi, and they were kicked out before they were complacent for too long.

"I'm not afraid that they have a purpose, but I'm afraid that they don't have a purpose. They just want to torture my cousin to death to vent their anger."

If that was the case, Xu Da's chance of surviving in the hands of a foreign race is slim.

It's better to be a little demanding, coveting Daqi's food and grass or cloth, if there is something to exchange, it is best to redeem people.

Lin Yuesha was flustered, her palms were sweating coldly.

"Master Qi has brought people into the border town, how to deal with it is not our concern."

Yan Yan comforted Lin Yuesha, she had to believe in Qi Heng, at least Qi Heng had done her best, and she hadn't disappointed anyone so far.

"I believe in him, but I don't believe in aliens."

The decision is in the hands of the enemy, Lin Yuesha is destined to sleep restlessly, but she can't help, so she can only solve the problem of military supplies in the rear.

"You solve the military supplies, I take care of the wounded soldiers, and we each perform our duties."

Yan Yan sat by the fire and warmed her hands. Not long after she came to the Northwest, she already had chilblains on her hands, and she had to soak them in hot water every night, otherwise she would feel extremely itchy and would always want to scratch.

As a doctor, she can't cure all diseases. For example, Yan Yan is suffering from a small chilblain right now.

"I saw radishes in the camp, just slice them and bake them hot to smear, at least it can relieve the pain."

Lin Yuesha also heard it mentioned by accident in modern times. Some people used sliced ​​ginger and garlic. However, the military supplies were in short supply, and there were a lot of radishes in stock, so they could be used directly.

"Chilblain really depends on folk remedies."

Yan Yan thanked her, and took a large package of wound medicine from Lin Yuesha. She sorted them out by category and put them in a medicine box.

"Why do you thank me, these medicine powders and pills are all given to me."

Lin Yuesha and Yan Yan chatted briefly. There was only one tent for women in the military camp, which was allocated to the medical team. Lin Yuesha had no place to stay, so she had to turn around and go back to Wucheng.

After this trip, it was already late at night when they arrived in Wucheng, and the city lord's mansion was still brightly lit.

"Young Madam Qi, our city lord is here to invite you."

The servant rubbed his hands, seeing Lin Yuesha's tired face, he was a little embarrassed to interrupt, "General Qi took people to the border town, and the city owner wanted to find someone to negotiate with, this is not..."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Lin Yuesha was travel-laden, and her steps were extremely heavy. What she had seen and heard during the day was like a big stone weighing on her body. Although she was very tired, she had no desire to fall asleep.

In the waiting room, City Lord Wu was circling with his hands behind his back, with a sad expression on his face.

"Mrs. Qi, may you know the situation in Wucheng?"

During the day, some people came to the city lord's mansion to make trouble, and he called them in, only to realize that the price of food was out of control, and before that, there was no sign of it.

"Wucheng is not big. Although I am the owner of the city, I don't care about business."

There is a steward in the city lord's mansion who has been responsible for the taxation of the merchants. He originally asked someone to ask about the situation, but the steward has long since disappeared.

"I've been busy handing over to Qi Jun recently, so I ignored it. It's my fault."

The city lord is full of bitterness, especially now that Wucheng is in chaos and rumors are spreading everywhere. The son-in-law he bought with great difficulty was captured alive by a foreign race.

To make such a choice, the city lord had good intentions, not willing to be Daqi's running dog as the people said.

He thought a lot about his daughter, but he didn't think about the common people. Unexpectedly, he was negligent and self-defeating.

"City Master Wu, don't be impatient."

As for Xu Da being captured, our own side is in a passive state, and everything depends on the arrangement of the foreign race. Qi Heng may have a good plan.

The alien race invaded the northwest border of Daqi, massacred the people, and how many families were torn apart, and they couldn't even survive this year.

Reconciliation is impossible, only blood for blood, tooth for tooth, go to the lair of foreign races, and avenge the dead soldiers.

On Lin Yuesha's side, she had to find a way to stabilize Wucheng and solve the problem of food and grass. She asked, "City Master, do you know if we have food in Wucheng?"

"There are, but there are not many left."

Wucheng has a special landform, and most of the output is wheat and highland barley rice. The round-grained rice is transported from the north, and the price is already higher.

It is understandable that polished round-grained rice sells for fifty cents a catty in grain shops.

Now that Daqi is divided in all directions, it is not easy to transport japonica rice from the north. Merchants seek profit, and the stocks in their hands must be sold at a higher price.

"Last year, our city of Wucheng was hit by a frost, and the output dropped, and it was also unstable. The common people relied on growing rapeseed and medicinal materials in exchange for money."

After all, the city lord said that his food storage was only enough for the people to survive starvation for a year, but it was impossible to eat enough, so they could only cook porridge every day.

If there is another famine in the coming year, it will be difficult for Wucheng to buy food and grass everywhere.

These stored grains cannot be used. Once the roots are touched, the people will rebel.

"Oil can be exchanged for food."

Rapeseed can be used to extract oil, and oil in Wucheng is sold very cheaply, and every household has enough oil. Lin Yuesha has already bought a large batch for military supplies.

In the early years, Wucheng hardly communicated with the outside world, rarely sold goods, and the people stored a lot of oil in their homes.

Lin Yuesha meant that she could buy a batch and transport them to the south of Qincheng to exchange for food and grass.

However, the most difficult thing right now is the issue of time, food and grass must be supplied to the military supplies first.

"There is no shortage of gold and silver items in the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion, why not take them out for food first."

The city lord thought for a long time, but he didn't have any good ideas.

Furthermore, if Xu Da was captured, if he was gone, all his sacrifices would be in vain.

"I agree to buy food from the people, but unfortunately we are one step too late."

Now that the price of food has been soaring, and it has not been effectively controlled, if the spies of the foreign race continue to instigate, and the Wucheng nest is reversed, the foreign race will have another opportunity to attack on a large scale.

Lin Yuesha was dizzy and had a headache.

Another one is that the food in the hands of the common people is too scattered. It is good that they don't hate Daqi, and it is impossible to hand over the surplus food.

The crux of the problem is that the big merchants hoarding grain and grass can only start from there.

"If I'm not mistaken, the hidden spies of the foreign race should have created the conflict long ago."

If you want to find a big grain merchant to buy, you will either bleed heavily or you will not be able to buy it.

"Young Madam Qi, Wucheng is a bit different from Daqi. It's not a merchant who hoards food and grass, but people from several villages."

The city lord told Lin Yuesha the basic situation of Wucheng. If the grain shops in the city want to buy, they all go to those villages to buy.

The ancestors of the villagers lived by dumping grain and grass, and built special grain depots.

"These people are very extreme. You can't offend them. Food and grass are nothing else. If they set fire to it, the food and grass will be turned into ashes!"

The more the city lord talked, the weaker he became, there was nothing he could do.
