The small system broadcasts the living conditions in other places through the water mirror, and this time I suddenly found that the outside world is not very peaceful.

Since the beginning of this summer, there has been a severe drought in many places.

I thought it would be better in autumn, but I didn't expect that in the days leading to autumn, there was a sudden torrential rain, and there were floods in many places.

Immediately after the onset of winter, the continuously falling temperatures became a nightmare for the homeless.

There are also many people who die quietly in their sleep because they don't have enough money to buy cotton clothes, or because they burn charcoal at home.

The food situation in Nanzhou is quite optimistic, at best the food is monotonous.

And in many places outside, there is no food directly, bark and weeds, and everything that can be eaten is cleaned, even if it is a rich family, they can only eat bran vegetables.

At the same time, a voice against Emperor Zhao also quietly circulated among the people, and countless people thought that this snow was a punishment from heaven and proof that Emperor Zhao was rejected by heaven.

Those princes who had soldiers and horses in their hands directly began to recruit troops and horses, intending to pull Emperor Zhao down.

There are also all kinds of people who can't live in peace on the rivers and lakes, and all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have come out to brush up on their sense of existence, some pretend to be gods, some rebel with some princes, and many take advantage of the fire to rob.

Looking at it this way, Nanzhou is really a little bit of a peaceful place.

Because there were too many people fleeing, Mo Chuchen also specially convened officials of all sizes in Nanzhou to discuss countermeasures.

After all, no one knows if there is a plague hidden in the bodies of those who fled, and which people may have committed murders in the process of escaping.

In the end, they set aside a small village to house the people.

In the past two years, because of the planting of crops, there have been many simple straw houses used as warehouses in the village.

Those who fled happened to have access to .......

Just when Nanzhou was struggling with the surging population, the Wei family in the Jiangnan region also fell into a gloomy and bleak day.

Since the beginning of this summer, the disasters in various places have continued to increase, Wei Peng has his eyes and began to stock grain and think about reselling the difference, but he doesn't dare to sell it, the situation in Quancheng is not bad, after all, by the sea, no matter how bad it is, he will not starve to death, but now the situation is that the grain in all places is not in circulation, and he can only eat as much as he wants.

Wei Peng only dared to sell a little bit every day, even if someone knew that he had food, for the sake of Wei Taishou's father, everyone would not dare to do it blindly.

This situation continued until the appearance of King Le, who was the most vocal opponent of Emperor Zhao this time, and at the same time held an army of 100,000 in his hands.

After King Le occupied Quancheng, he directly sent people to visit the major merchants in Quancheng and ordered them to hand over at least five stones of grain, otherwise they would all be executed.

Wei Peng was worried, he was a small businessman, and the hoarded grain was about to be handed over, what else would he take to eat?

But he didn't want to say this to King Le, after all, that prince was not a good stubble, and he was the master who would kill if he didn't agree with him.

Coming back from King Le's camp, Wei Peng called the shopkeeper and family members to the hall, and he walked back and forth for a long time before he said slowly:

"Now, I have to hand over the grain, and I called you here today to let you all disperse, and now in this world, the Wei family can't hold on, and you have divided the 10,000 taels here."

Those shopkeepers have followed the Wei family for so many years, and they are suddenly about to disband, and they are all very sad.

But no matter how reluctant they are, now that the Wei family has been targeted by King Le, if they don't run away, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape.

Yes, that grain is just an appetizer for Le Wang, he has never been a benevolent lord, and he really won't let go easily if he doesn't squeeze the value of the merchant out.

"Boss, let's go first, and you can take advantage of the fact that Quancheng can still leave now, so hurry up and get ready."

A few old shopkeepers persuaded a few words, packed up their burdens and left.

Seeing the people leaving one by one, Wei Peng suddenly sat down on the chair as if he had lost his spirit.

His wife and concubine were even more pale and at a loss.

"Dad, why don't we leave, Quancheng is not a safe place now, in the future, King Le, Beiwang and others will fight together, Quancheng will definitely fall into chaos."

Wei Lin was a disciple of the Qingcheng faction, so he was naturally more sensitive to the situation than others.

He watched the situation run like a wild horse to an unpredictable place, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

The Qingcheng faction was relatively moderate, and only closed the gates of the city and sought outside assistance.

But there are many people who occupy a city and directly exterminate all the rich people, and the means can be described as cruel.

"No, Quancheng is the place of our Wei family, and the fields, houses, and shops of our ancestors are all here.

At this time, I am afraid that the things will be devoured by the King of Le, and when the time comes, how will we face the ancestors and ancestors?"

Wei Ran stepped forward and objected righteously: "King Le is such a disloyal and unrighteous person, he is really a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone will be punished!"

Sooner or later, he will be defeated, and Emperor Zhao is the chosen one. ”

Wei Lin saw that the second brother, who was his sister-in-law, was so stubborn, and his heart suddenly became angry.

"Okay, people are going to be gone, it's good to keep your life, what are you talking about, now the weather is very weird, there is always hope for life. You look forward to Emperor Zhao, and you also need Emperor Zhao to be able to get out of it! . ”

Wei Lin didn't care if he could convince Wei Ran.

Compared with the innocence of the scholar, he saw the cruelty and helplessness earlier, and he was naturally unhappy that his family would die in Quancheng.

"You ......."

"Okay, don't make any noise, if we run away, the ancestral inheritance will indeed be swallowed up.

But if you don't run, sooner or later you will be ruined by King Le.

For the sake of the present, I will stay, and you will divide the property and go your separate ways. ”

Wei Peng already had his own plan in his heart, whether it was to die or escape, it was not the best way after all.

"How does this work!"

"Sir!"

"Never!"

After this decision, the eldest wife, the second aunt and the third aunt, who were originally silent, were all frightened and screamed, isn't staying in Quancheng now equivalent to being tossed by King Le?

"I've made up my mind, that's it, while Quancheng can still pass people, you guys hurry up!"

Wei Peng was reluctant to have his ancestral foundation destroyed, and he was reluctant to suffer from his family, so he pondered left and right for a long time and decided to deal with King Le alone.

Even if it's dead! He, Wei Peng, is also going to die with his ancestors! .

At Wei Peng's insistence, Wei Ran and Wei Lin each got a large amount of gold and silver.

Wei Ran discussed with the eldest lady for a long time and decided to go to the relatively stable imperial city, where Emperor Zhao was in charge, and both the economy and food were very secure.

Wei Lin is different, he has often run outside these years, and he has also learned a few percent of the situation in various places through his division, compared to the imperial capital that is being eyed by others, he thinks that Nanzhou is a better place to go.

"What? Going to Nanzhou? ”

The second aunt subconsciously looked at the third aunt who looked cautious and submissive, that place was the territory of the third aunt's son.

"Nowadays, only Nanzhou, which no one cares about, is a rare place to relax."

Wei Lin sighed and took out a simple map from his sleeve: "Now there are three princes in Zhaoguo who are starting to devour Zhaoguo, and their locations are different, but there is one thing, their routes will not pass through Nanzhou, and even because Nanzhou has always been desolate, few will worry about it." ”

Wei Lin looked at the third aunt: "I don't know what you think?" ”

The third aunt Tai Ren Jia has always had no idea, she looked left and right at a loss: "Now, I have been separated by the old man and have no choice but to take refuge in my son, but I am not worried about Wei Yin's ......." ”

The second aunt sneered once: "Don't worry about Wei Yin, their family packed their luggage and left Quancheng long before King Le came, originally thought they were going out to play, but now that they think about it, they should have known what the news was and left quietly." ”

"Okay, I'll check the news, if it's really far away, we'll go to Nanzhou first."

Wei Lin was used to wandering the rivers and lakes alone, but he was not used to going out with two elders unawares.

After inquiring about Wei Yin's departure, Wei Lin left Quancheng with the two women.

He wasn't alone along the way, in fact, their sect also had a plan to go to Nanzhou to find Wei Ce, so Wei Lin arranged the two women into the sect's team.

For example, the Jiangnan area is quite good, but the more you go to the northwest, the more famine and plague there will be, and most of the people who flee are also discouraged and numb in their eyes.

On the road, life-and-death things happen from time to time for a piece of dry food.

There are even groups of children standing in the way, begging for food when they meet someone.

If someone gives food with kindness, it will inevitably cause a sensation, and then it may be robbed.

Nowadays, in some places, you can't buy a pound of grain for a tael of silver.

After more than two months, they finally came to the boundary of Nanzhou.

In the past two months, everyone has not been idle.

If you can walk on the waterway, you can walk on the waterway, and if you can gallop with a horse, you will definitely not walk slowly.

Because the surrounding environment is so bad that people can't stand it, they really don't dare to stay longer.

When they came to Nanzhou, everyone found that the people of Nanzhou began to do something again.

They built a simple, row-on-row house, with a huge fireplace cut into it, and the fireplace was of a strange style, and its flue was strangely set up to the roof.

In winter, even if the fire is vigorous, no matter how tightly the door is closed, there is no need to worry about the temperature being insufficient or being poisoned to death.

Stepping into Nanzhou, everyone suddenly has a kind of return to the cleanliness of the world, the outside world is too miserable, such a comparison, Nanzhou, which everyone looked down on in the past, has become a rare paradise in the world.

The group tossed for another seven or eight days, and finally found the Nanzhou Taishou Mansion, but the Taishou Mansion at this meeting was already a remodeled appearance, faded from the shabby and old, and looked very magnificent.

The butler who greeted Wei Lin was still the other housekeeper in his twenties who looked like he was seventy or eighty years old.

The housekeeper seemed to have learned the news early, so he took the ladies to the back house for the maids to serve, and entertained the others himself.

"Everyone, we are too busy checking the progress of the stove room outside at this time of the week, and I hope you will wait a little."

The butler said and pointed to a fireplace built in the corner of the hall, which was very out of place in this quaint place, and the painting style was completely different.

"This stove is really chic!" Wei Lin said that, but he felt that being stuffed in it was the same as entering the fire kiln room? If you don't pay attention, it will catch fire.

"This stove room can accommodate a lot of people, the rent is cheap, the wind window is cleverly opened, it is warm and will not be poisoned, and it is part of our financial revenue in Nanzhou!"

Don't butler follow Wei Linxia and chatter.

Through the words of the housekeeper, Wei Lin also took a closer look at the situation in Nanzhou.

Except for the fact that the weather has been very cold, there is nothing wrong with the rest, and even those who have fled can live and work here in peace.

"The master wants to buy food from this one, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult!"

"Looking at the situation in Nanzhou, I'm afraid that one Taishou will have some thoughts!"

In the short time that the other housekeeper left, many disciples of the Qingcheng faction began to mumble, they didn't just talk about food with Nanzhou, they had been to many places with good conditions, but the benefits were not high.

After Mo Chuchen returned, he immediately met with Wei Lin and the others, and after learning that they planned to buy food at a high price, he generously took out the potatoes and sweet potatoes that had been piled up in the granary.

After talking about business, Mo Chuchen and Wei Lin went to the back house to meet the second aunt and the original owner's wife.

As soon as I arrived at the house in the backyard, I saw a charming half-aged roasting by the fireplace, and the old lady of the original owner was eating hot fish porridge and enjoying the rare warmth.

"Alas! Isn't this the third child? I haven't seen you for so long, but I look more and more handsome! It's too guarded, do you plan to marry a wife? It just so happens that your mother is also here, but I can arrange it for you! You are too guarded at your young age now, and your future is limitless! ”

Because she was under the eaves, the second aunt was very knowledgeable and did not mention the past, and when she saw Mo Chuchen, she praised it vigorously.

"Stop, let's talk about the situation in Quancheng first." Mo Chuchen immediately diverted the topic, the blind date or something was all what the original owner should do, so he didn't want to do it!.

"Spring City, alas, ......." As soon as the second aunt mentioned Quancheng, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.

In the end, it was the old mother of the original owner who told the matter of Quancheng and Wei Peng's decision.

"This is a problem." Mo Chuchen sighed, Wei Peng refused to leave Quancheng like this, and deliberately divided all the family wealth.

How could Lewang be willing to make him feel better? If Wei Peng wants to run away, it's okay to say, this Wei Peng wants to defend Quancheng.

"Son, no matter what you say, he is your father, you can't die without help!" The mother of the original owner suddenly spoke, took Mo Chuchen's hand and began to shout.

"Okay, sister, don't be too anxious, Wei Ce and Wei Lin are here, the master will be fine."

The second aunt didn't expect that the third aunt, who had never had a sense of existence, would suddenly shout like that, hurriedly took the third aunt's hand, and comforted her softly.
